Serenity Happy Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Escondido, California

update: the owner reached out to me right away, was very kind, and redid the pedicure. also the nail tech who who did a great job is named mia, so ask for her! inconsistent quality. i tried this place on a whim last month, and got the best pedicure i've ever had. this time i came back, and got a bad one. the shaping is really off, and there's polish all over my skin. i'm probably going to go back one more time and see if i can get the name of the worker who did the first set and just make appointments with her- if i do, i'll add her name to this review to recommend her. read more

I love this nail salon! Very friendly staff, always an amazing full set and pedicures.

My favorite nail place! Mimi is the best - I always request her for pedicures. She digs in deep and shapes my toes so nicely! The music is calming and the cooking shows are always interesting to watch. I appreciate that when I have an appointment they honor it and get me seated right away. Saying all this I pray they don't change ownership or degrade. Please keep up the current excellent service and always strive to get better! read more

My nails were cute but one of the toes had the nail polish come completely off after like 3 days. I went back and got it fixed but two more nails on the same foot came completely off a few days later. Didn't even last 2 weeks and I paid $60. They aren't prepping the nail right read more

Mia was great and so kind and patient. I love how my nails came out! I will definitely be back. There was an exercise class next door blasting dance music. So if you're wanting a chiller vibe maybe check the class schedule next door, but I thought it was funny. Like clubbing while getting my nails done read more

Very friendly and they do a great job. I have a pretty standard set of nails. I get acrylics and either French tip nails or all one color. I don't do long or almond shape. Either way they are walkways busy so call ahead. It's calm and quiet inside. read more

This place deserves a zero! Horrible customer service especially from the owner Chloe, she is extremely unhappy and treats her customers with such poor service. Not only does she treat her customers poorly but also her treats her nail technicians poorly. Shame on her!! Besides horrible customer service, they are scammers, everyone gives you a different prices and all try to force extra and gel services, and when you decline the additional markups, your automatically treated differently. The owner is so bizarre, she sent me two text messages at 10:00 at night. She even went out her way to send me another message from another phone, the most bizarre and juvenile behavior. Read the message for yourself and you'll see exactly what I'm referring to.the up most level of Unprofessionalism!! read more

These are just 2 of the many sets I've had done at Serenity Happy Nails. Even though both were appointment made, they offer walk ins right away! Both sets done were inspired pictures and were done the EXACT same way!!! They listened to the way I wanted my length and style and that my nails beds are a little sensitive. They made sure to take their time when doing my nails and designs. The atmosphere was very calming, nice temperature in the salon, soothing music and an overall nice vibe with amazing staff. read more

My experience was good here... for the most part. The ladies that did my pedicure and manicure were beyond amazing, caring, and they truly did a beautiful job. Their space is very clean and modern which provides a cool atmosphere. It was until the very end, when it was time to pay, that you they missed out on perfect rating. I headed to the front to pay and this lady, didn't see her name nor did I ask, stands up from her desk while doing someone else's nails, and she asked if I was paying with card. She was one of the youngest workers and that spoke the most English. I asked if they took Apple Pay and she said yes. I walk over where she was and here is what's wrong with their card payment method: the screen is hidden from you. You cannot see what they're charging nor can you add a tip by yourself prior to printing the receipt. She also just snatched the phone from my hand? Which is not only rude, you need face recognition to authorize the payment. So I said, "uh, I need to do my face..." and she slightly turned around and rolled her eyes while I finished the sentence. The male coworker giggled in the back. So she takes my phone again. Finishes paying. And has me sign. That is truly unnecessary. If they followed their system best practices like placing the screen towards the client, and authorize their payment without them snatching your phone... maybe that would make the experience 100% perfect. Please also be kind to people. Rolling your eyes and giggling about such a nasty move is not very professional. read more

Serenity Happy Nails - Lobby area - Nail Salons Near Me - Escondido, California

On 11/10/24 at around 1 p.m., I came in as a walk-in for a gel pedicure. I was pleased to be taken in right away, as this was my second visit, and I expected to have another positive experience. Unfortunately, things didn't go as I'd hoped. While the technician was cleaning my cuticles, I noticed she was cutting and pushing back aggressively, causing significant pain. She even made my left toenail bleed. I did not have any ingrown nails or issues with my feet before this appointment, and even if I had, addressing such issues is beyond what a nail salon should handle. Both of my big toes felt raw and looked pink when I left. Today, I noticed soreness in my left big toe, and when I checked, it was swollen and had I saw pus, which indicates a bacterial infection (paronychia) likely caused by excessive clipping. I have photos showing how much was cut if the owner would like to see them. I didn't speak up at the time due to anxiety, which may be my fault, but I urge you to be more cautious. Your role is to provide foot hygiene, nail health, exfoliation, moisturization, stress relief, aesthetic enhancement, and preventive care--not to create foot issues. read more

Hands down - the absolute best nail place in Escondido ! Tom, Chloe & their team do the B E S T job !

They cut me a few times and it's overpriced. The environment wasn't very professional and the place overall wasn't very organized and messy.

I made an appointment. I had to wait a couple of minutes. My nail tech cut me and then super glued the cut. He kept filing that nail, even though I asked him not to. I've never had to ask for a new nail color, but I had too. I wanted a baby pink and I got like a pastel orange and then the second time I got a bubblegum pink almost. the service took way longer than I expected. It took like two hours and 40 minutes for a medium set coffin French tip. I don't think I would go back especially for the price. I would much rather go to Lotus nails for a good French manicure and for a cheap pedicure, I would go to pretty nails on grand. read more

Well, I'm always getting addresses wrong but this time it was was a good thing. We ended up being walk-ins at this salon. He got a much needed pedicure and I got fingernails done for the first time in 10 years. We are back home and he is still raving about how wonderful his pedicure was. I'm going out now to show off my fancy fingers. Thank you for a very efficient service. read more

I never care enough to give reviews on Yelp but I came to this salon yesterday for a last minute mani & pedi! My mani was rushed and done so poorly. My gel pedi gave me an infection on my big toe! The lady said I had an ingrown nail and she was digging into my big toe so much to the point it hurt and I bled! Today my big toe is inflamed and hurts so much (I didn't have an ingrown nail or any pain prior to coming here) it sucks cause I spent $80 for a terrible job and infected toe nail. read more

Absolutely love Tom and Chloe! I've been getting my nails done with them for many years and that's because they last and I always get compliments. I go three weeks between fills and could go longer. You can show Tom any nail design and he can duplicate it for you flawlessly. I also love supporting small family businesses. They love what they do and it shows. I won't go anywhere else! read more

Got my nails done here not even a week ago and my nails are already breaking. I got my nails done about 5 days ago, yesterday my thumbnail broke(which I had a feeling was going to happen by how the lady who did my nails put my tips on.) I went into the salon to show them and they booked me to get my one nail redone for several hours later. When it was finally time for me to get my nail fixed, a gentleman fixed my thumbnail. I asked him why my nail broke,(although I already knew why, I just wanted to see what he would say,) and he said it was because of me touching stuff and breaking my nails. Mind you, when I get fake nails my nails always last at least a good 2 weeks. I even told him I had just gotten my nails done which he remembered but still insisted it was because of me. Today, two more nails broke as you can see in the picture. Needless to say, I won't be coming back... read more

Place is a joke and even then that's a compliment. Look at the what their finish product is. No one at this location cares about how your nails turn out. They just want to be done with you as quickly as possible. If you can go anywhere else please do. Oh and btw the nail files they're using on you... all used. read more

I found my forever nail salon! Actually I went somewhere else first, where I've gone before. They were too busy so I found this place on the drive home. Thought I'd stop in to see if there was availability. The lady who approached me when I walked in was very nice. Talked to me about what I want and said they could do it. My wait was about 20 min. Totally fine for no appt! Kathy did my nails. I do the SNS and I love that she does the powder all the way to the end. I've left places before looking like I need a fill. She did great! Tom came and drew the design I wanted. My "summer nails" are out of my comfort zone but I'm so in love! I seriously cannot stop looking at them! I'm usually very plain jane. Already getting compliments! Compliments=Referrals for them! read more

Been my go to place for pedicure... Mia thank you, for excellent service! I'm Happy as always. :)

Love this place! Talk to Tom or Chloe and let them know what you're looking for specifically and they will book you either the appropriate person for your needs. I like an excellent callous remover service with my pedicure while my husband prefers the massage. We each are booked with the person who specialized in our specific needs. You can call or once you're in you can text to book or reschedule. The chairs are comfortable and they took all the necessary safety measures during covid. It's nice and clean and I see them cleaning the bowls between each use. The technicians always focus on you and what they are doing. They keep their chatter with coworkers to a minimum and that's usually when they are asking or answering a question. They will talk with you but I prefer to zone out and just relax and they are fine with letting me be silent. Excellent customer service, my toes look great at all times thanks to them! 10/10 would recommend. read more

This place is a damn joke, six people working.., all talking in their language (not good.... I asked for nails to be shorter... she said if I'm not happy I can leave now... w my nails a MESS.... then wants to text my friend saying I can leave w my nails like this ..,.. Don't come here Bad energy, all 6 talk behind your back not a good feeling plus the floor is super slippery I almost slipped twice, the man reply's saying " it's the powder " ??? Why would the dip powder be on the damn tile? What a joke I'll be reporting them as well.... Wow, she even called my friends here what a Joke caused a bunch of drama I don't know who to call about the floors being very slippery I called my husband to come back he said he almost slipped as well... I will be calling BBB and the health department about the floors I have everything recorded.... won't let me attach the recording video My daughter got her nails done as well and had to witness all this, she was yelling at me about the price I don't care about the price, we only wanted two pandas not ten.... what a shame... Kevin was awesome tho, he did my nails he was nice, friendly it was the woman who was disrespectful, hostile, then.... called my friends to coke sit there what a damn joke I don't have her name I do know she sits in the 2nd from when you walk in desk with a white sparkly MASK....

I am so sorry I even have this place a try. No greeting when you first walk in so you just stand there awkwardly. I asked how long was the wait, lady said 5-10 min. I waited 45 min. I finally got in a chair for a full set and I was told $45 I even had a reference picture. Over an hour later my nails are finally completed, no cuticle oil in sight, the guy says my total is $65. Because I got the gold ombré that was in my reference pic. Service was bad, the quality is awful I can see the streaks in my polish, all around a bad experience and very expensive. read more

I came here for Halloween nails and I showed the lady- I believe she's one of the owners- a picture of the nails I wanted. I said I wanted them exact and she said she could do that. After cutting one of my nails she asked if I wanted them shorter, I said no just like the picture. She nodded and proceeded. I felt from the length they may be a bit shorter than the picture but they still looked pretty long so I didn't know. After they were shaped I noticed they were quite short, but I'm not a nail artist and I trusted they could still come out good. When she put the design on I saw that was not the case and asked her if she could make the design more like the picture. She told me since I wanted my nails short (which I never once said I wanted) that the design isn't going to work. I reminded her that she told me she could make the nails look exact but she kept saying I wanted them short. I was very uncomfortable at this point because she was raising her voice and the whole salon was looking at us. I asked if I could just pay extra and we can take them off and do the length I wanted. She began yelling about how she didn't have time and even called me "crazy" and "picky". I told her I didn't want anymore service as I was on the brink of tears(I have pretty bad social anxiety) and she said I still have to pay for these and stormed off. I had to wait for my mom to be done and i just felt so uncomfortable and had to listen to her talk poorly about me to her next client. read more

Worst nail painting ever!!!! I went in Sunday morning for gel polish very simple you would think well every one of my nails has little bubbles in it and dents. Worst nail polish I've ever had very disappointed!!! Avoid this place at all costs Update: Read rude comment from owner below instead of trying to make things better, she goes off on me let me now add to my review in addition very bad customer service. How I'm I to blame for the bubbling underneath the polish ? I've never have had that happen before your tech must have not know what she was doing. This picture is from today you clearly see the bubbles not from having oil on them! I can come in and show you in person if you would like read more
