I've been coming to this Spa since COVID and they've always taken great care of me, but today I had a pedicure with Tina and she gave me the BEST deep cleaning I've ever had! She was so thorough and detail-oriented, my feet feel amazing and look brand new. The spa is always clean, welcoming, and relaxing. Tip for thought: Highly recommend asking for Tina if you want a next-level pedicure experience Peace Yelp Heads.! read more

I went in for a haircut , the absolute worst hair cut I have ever had ended up going In two times the first time I paid 35.00 and gave a 25.00 tip came home washed my hair looked at it and couldn't what a horrible job the girl did went back the next day the same girl Jen tried to fix it ended up using men's clippers to try and get rid of the fly away ends I had she cut my hair dry both times , never measured any part of my hair to see if it was even I came home tried to forget a bout it also gave another 17.00 tip I looked in the mirror after brushing my hair and it's even worse called to see if they could fix my hair and they said call back tomorrow and talk to a manager but they don't know what time they will be in never ever go there to have your hair cut there probably ok with nails but not hair very unsatisfied customer paid 77.00 for this mess now I have to find a salon to fix this mess this will be a 150.00 hair cut actually trim by the time I'm all done read more

There's plenty of parking, I've made an appointment half the time, but half the time I've walked in. I've been helped and taking care of within 10 minutes or less. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They usually always have some sort of music playing in the background and there's a couple of TVs as well. I go for pedicures, and I highly recommend the number two. The seats are very comfortable and spacious. I've been here many of times and I'll keep coming back. The store is very clean, and comfortable to visit. read more

Tina's pedicures are AMAZING! She is so sweet and so funny. she goes above and beyond with the leg massage.

I just got a haircut from Cindy. She did a great job of fixing a cut I got somewhere else. She only works on Tuesday. I will be back to see her read more

I have been coming here for quite a while but today was quite exceptional as always Tina with my pedicure did a great job, she really takes care of my feet (color I don't love but her kindness makes up for it and will be back with her without a doubt) and Jen a lifesaver with my dip and gel, she listens to what I want and for me that is what matters, this is seriously the only place I can say it actually happens, especially with Jen. Last but not least the place is always clean and on point. read more

Seriously, if you need your footsies done, you must have Miss Tina take care of you. She has been doing my pedicures for months now and I so look forward to my appointment with her. She has the most amazing, strong and nurturing hands and all I had to do was tell her the first time I met her what I needed and she gives 150% every time. She wants you to leave happy and that makes her happy. Sweetest lady, book your appointment today, you won't be disappointed. Tell them about my review, I'm proud to post a review not just for the shop because all the ladies are great and let me not forget Derrick! And.... Miss Wendy does my nail fill, I like that I can say how I want my nails, I love sparkle..... and she finds the right blend. She will also take the time to make sure my nails are the way I like them. And give my hands and forearms and good massage at the end. You leave feeling so relaxed. Tell them Kelly sent you. I really hope you enjoy the experience. read more

I was visiting from Texas and Tina was absolutely amazing. She did such a wonderful job on my gel pedicure. She took her time , and paid close attention to details. She cleaned my heels up very well and gave me advice on how to take care of my toenails better. I would highly recommend her. read more

Love their nail and pedicure! On time and very nice people. Very close and easy to get to and clean.

I usually splurge for a mani/pedi once or twice a year. Went in a couple weeks ago for my annual birthday pampering. Maggie and Mary did an amazing job and gave my nails a wonderful nod to the Disney 100 celebration look. Today I went back to remove my dip nails and get a gel manicure. Maggie was able to take care of my manicure and took her time to hand place my glitter to make sure it didn't look clumpy. Take about attention to detail! Thank you ladies! read more

Great People! Great haircut! I'm really pleased with the outcome of our visit to simply shear. Although I was nervous when I showed up because our appointment was at 6:30pm and I had a 2 year old waiting to get her hair cut, they did not start her hair until 6:50pm. I would recommend communicate before hand about your child's temperament to make sure and needs are met. The hairstylist wasn't expecting my daughter at two to sit by herself, but she was able to. This is why I said communicate beforehand with the hairstylist to let them know whether your child can sit on their own or not thank you very much simply Shear and spa. We are very pleased with your service. read more

I went there Thanksgiving weekend of 2024 to get a facial. During the session, I notified her that the stuff she was using on my face was dripping on my eye area and itching. Didn't use cotton rounds to protect my eyelids. After I left, it looked like I had a sunburn on my eyelids and has continued til now (Jan 9, 2025). I've already seen a Dr who prescribed me eye antibiotics, which I've been using the last 2 weeks with no improvement. I've called them and asked to know what she used. The first man said she's off, she will call you Wednesday. No call. Called again today and, you guessed it, she's off today too. In my opinion I would want to know if I did something to cause a client discomfort. I feel like they're dodging me. Don't let them touch your face! I'd give 0 stars if I could. read more

I have been coming to simply shear for almost a year now, and this is possibly the worst set of nails I gotten here. I am normally not one to leave reviews, but my experience this last time was bad enough to warrant a review. Most of the people working here are amazing and always so nice and super friendly. I seem to unfortunately keep getting the main guy who answers the phone each time. I always get talked out of each color or style I want and he never stops telling me "this is cuter you don't want this instead?" Or when this time I only wanted wanted white and he gives me a hard time about every single thing I want to do with my nails. I asked for French top this time and he told me French tip only looks good on a brand new set. I then asked if we could just do a nude under the white tip to cover any lines from underneath and he said yes but it wouldn't look good. He also can't do any designs but won't tell you that and then tries to do them and they look terrible. My gel pedicure was rushed through and actually painful, I don't remember the name of the women that did them but she rushed through the pedicure so fast. As for my acrylics, one of them already snapped in half 2 days after I got them done. The guy also painted a fiber or possibly a hair (pics included) into one of my nails. Every time I get white gel polish they always get bubbles and look terrible from this place. I'm also always told how my nails are always growing wrong and always crooked and he goes on and on every single time about how much work he has to do to fix them, it makes for a miserable experience. Every time I get him to do my nails there is nothing but complaints about what I want on my nails from him , and him trying to get me to choose something else ,and complaints about how crooked my nails are. I will be finding a new nail shop moving forward as I am always underwhelmed with the finished product from this shop. read more

They nickel and dime you. I got a perm for 70.00 and got the back and sides trimmed and they charge 35.00 for a perm. That's ridiculous as far as I know every perm a haircut is included. They also are very rude and treat you like they are doing you a favor they lost me. Also, the lady that recommended me has also quit them on a Saturday. They should be absolutely full of clients for Nails and Hair and there were like three people in there. Does that tell you anything? read more

Nail review.. this place does hair too. So let's start off this place was recommended by a family member. Also last minute appointment 30 minutes before they close for TWO pedicures. Graduation emergency because of course who doesn't wait to the last minute to do anything. Did this place turn us away NOPE! They gladly took us in and have been working that overtime even being short staffed. So for the experience: I only got to meet three awesome staff each great for a different reason. Nancy: so she did my toe nails.. she is very gentle with massages .. she did leave a tiny bit of polish on my skin but it was an hour after they were supposed to be closed.. Christine : helped my younger sister and did an excellent job.. she was super kind and tried to call every customer by their name.. she actually noticed that my skin had a bit of polish and cleaned up for me without asking.. how amazing is she!! Hoang: he was offering water to customers and making sure that the place was clean.. Overall amazing experience and will definitely come back when I'm in town.. read more

My best friend and I have gone through THREE nail salons and have been so disappointed every time but not at simply shear and spa! They took us last minute and stayed open 30 minutes passed closing to make sure our nails were done properly. Nina and Linda took GREAT care of us and did our acrylics perfectly, even down to the designs we asked for, and were so friendly! Jenny was super sweet in making us feel welcome since it was our first time and we couldn't be more thankful! Can't wait to go back again! read more

First time visit to this salon. I got Maggie as my hairdresser. She is very sweet and professional. She did a great job coloring and highlighting my hair. The price is reasonable. I recommend this place. Very relaxing and plenty of parking. read more

The ladies that work here are nice, but are not hair professionals in the slightest. I should have left after seeing how messy it was there, but I had a hair emergency so ignoring my better judgment, I stayed for the haircut. I made an appointment and still had to wait about 30 minutes. While I was waiting, I noticed that there was hair everywhere and even though the girls here sweep it, they don't get everything and it doesn't look like they sanitize their tools. Anyway, overall bad feel. Haircut time: I asked for a bob and at first, she was doing a decent job (although she did leave the back a little long) but then came the thinning shears! She really went at my hair with those! She did not use them the right way, snagging and pulling out hairs! I asked her to be more gentle, but it seems she didn't know how to. To sum up, the haircut looked okay at first, but now that it's growing out I'm getting these wisps of hair that are longer than the rest of my hair, due to her overuse of the thinning shears. I will never come here again. I'm going to a better hair salon tomorrow to fix my hair, so hopefully it goes well! tldr: overused thinning shears, incorrectly and haircut was not professional quality. Grew out really bad. read more

I love this place! I've been coming for 3 years and have had my nails done by almost everyone that work here, everyone is super nice & they always do a good job. Great local business to get gift certificates from. Update: I haven't had a pedicure since COVID & had a painful ingrown toenail. Super grateful that Christine was able to to do a pedi for me in a safe outdoor environment! Thank you!!! read more

I've been to nail salons all over San Diego and the best shaped nails I've ever had was at this salon done by TOM. His shaping is PERFECTION - they're not too thick or too thin, not too narrow or too wide. I explained to him I lkle a slight arch on the belly of my nails (I can't stand flat nails). He did my nails even better than I thought possible. 10 stars for Tom. read more

I have gone to many nail shops and always find something I don't like when it comes to cleanliness. This is the first nail shop that I actually like they do a great job on my feet and hands and are always nice. They go above and beyond when it comes to customer service and know you by name. Christine is GREAT and so is Ana I definitely recommend this place!! They are very clean as well which is important! read more

Been looking for a good nail place in east county for a while now and so excited that I finally found one! Jenni did an amazing job on my nails, and she was on point with her customer service. She welcomed everyone into the salon, and knew almost every client's name that came in. I will be sure to see her again soon! Salon was clean, and had tons of color selections for gel and regular polish. No pedicure so not sure about chairs and no hair service done so unaware of that service. read more

I love coming here for pedicures. I always ask for Wendy she is so sweet and always does a great job!

So my experience here was not great! First, I went in for a fill and gentleman there said he was going to do my nails sat down with me and saw what I wanted and said oh yes I can do that let's start and then he got up to get his the color. This girl walks in that does NOT have an appointment with him because I heard her tell the receptionist she doesn't have an appointment and the guy that was going to do my nails said hello to her and said he would take her! He proceeded to talk in their language so receptionist came and told me the lady would do my nails and I waited for about 5 minutes for the lady which was fine cause I don't know anyone's work there yet because it was my first time there. I just felt it was unprofessional to dump me when I came in first and make me wait instead of the other girl. The lady that did my nails wasn't very knowledgeable and suggested I get a new set which was fine with me. However, that took almost 3 freakin hours! The guy finished 3 clients and she was still doing mine. She kept doing the sanding and filing and then go back and do the same hand again! She cut my finger, the shape is all wrong, they don't match each other and I was very disappointed. Needless to say this was my first and last time visiting this salon, and will getting my nails done again tomorrow as they are super ugly! read more
