Dip manicure w/polka dots
Erin D.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great staff, my daughter & I love getting our nails done here![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My nails have even gotten healthier since coming here in July. Prices are reasonable also. Make an appointment, closed Mond

No Walk Ins! 2 HOUR WAIT.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Have enough manicurists to cover a walk in![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've had good manicures and pedicures here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Shocked that you can't walk in and get a service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

When I first started going to Smile Nails, my nails were severely damaged from attempting to do my own Gel X manicures. They were incredibly thin, brittle, and splitting in half. I explained to Jack that my goal was to restore my natural nails' health and eventually transition away from using tips. Within just a few months, that's exactly what we accomplished. My nails have never been this strong or healthy, and every time I leave Smile Nails, they look absolutely flawless. Not only do they last a long time, but they also never break. I cannot recommend this salon enough! The quality of work is exceptional, the prices are affordable, and the results speak for themselves. I've been going here for a year now and Smile Nails is truly the best nail salon I've ever been to, I wouldn't go anywhere else! If you're looking for top-tier nail care, this is the place to go.

Wish this place was near to me! My nails still look sooo good, I am very happy with the service :)

Jack had never been asked to do a duck before but did a great job!!

I'd booked pedicures only and on the way my teen asked me if she could get her nails done... I agreed abut warned her that her vision may be hard to create because I dunno how many women usually ask for ducks on their nails. Jack fit her mani in and did an amazing job! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everyone we interacted with was just so kind and did a great job.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend!

Love Smile Nails. Mandy is hysterical. She never cuts me when everyone else does at other salons. The whole family is great. I am so happy they are still here after the crazy pandemic. They do all kinds of manicures and pedicures as well as waxing. Lots of guys come in. Next to the gym and Smart & Final off Oceanside Blvd.

First time getting a full set and they killed it. This place is amazing, every tech is very friendly and sweet and the salon is clean and has a great ambience. I regret not getting my techs name but he was a gentleman and very patient with me, i tensed up a couple of times since I'm not used to getting them done. My nails turned out gorgeous! Edit: Jack was my tech! Y'all should request him because he's awesome!

I live in Carlsbad and have not found a nail salon that I like. I decided to travel a little further and I am SO happy I did! Jack is amazing, my nails are perfect. Nancy also did a great job on my pedicure. The best part is it was affordable! I easily pay $20- $40 more at any nail salon in Carlsbad. Highly recommend!

French acrylic full set
Lana B.

My favorite place in San Diego to go to! The staff are so friendly and always do an amazing job. The prices are fair and they have different packets of services they provide. If you want have your nails last and be treated like a queen come here!

Was nice and clean but I told the pedicurist she was doing the wrong color and she said I should just do the color she was applying.

I came to Walgreens to have some lab work done, and overall, I've had consistently positive…read moreexperiences at this location. One important tip: try your best to arrive before 2:45 PM--and honestly, even that may be cutting it close. On my most recent visit, I checked in around 2:40 PM and was informed that they wouldn't be able to accommodate me that day. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, though, and they referred me to another nearby location. Unfortunately, when I arrived there, the line was even longer, and they were unable to fit me in as well. Despite that experience, I still prefer getting my labs done at this Walgreens because the process is usually quick and efficient. Check-in is simple, and when timing works out, I'm generally in and out without any hassle. A few helpful tips for first-time visitors..... -Bring your photo ID and insurance card. -If you have a lab requisition from your physician, bring it with you. -If your provider submitted the order electronically, they can typically pull it up in their system. I've never had any issues receiving my lab results, and the staff have always been professional and courteous. My only suggestion would be to consider accommodating patients who have already checked in before the cutoff time, especially those who arrive before the 15-minute mark leading up to closing. It can be disappointing to complete the check-in process only to learn there isn't enough time to be seen. Overall, this is still one of my preferred locations for lab work because of the friendly staff and efficient service. If you're in the area and need labs done, just plan to arrive early and you should have a smooth experience. As always, you can thank me later!

I've been wanting to try an establishment like this for a very long time. This was my first visit…read moreto My Zero Waste Store. Let me tell you, I was blown away. It's a small place - and street parking can be tricky. But I was fortunate to get a spot right out front. I stepped inside and saw the various containers of products and was pleased. Not only were there things that I use every day, but the prices were ridiculously affordable. Isela (theeee sweetest person) gave me a brief, but thorough "tour" that was absolutely fascinating. She answered any and all of my questions and provided me with a few donated containers for my purchase. So far, the star of this visit are the scented lotion and hand wash. Can't recall the name. But they are pricier than the other products. I don't care at all. I LOVE the scent. As a matter of fact, I'm going in this weekend for some more of the hand soap. I have it in my bathroom (foaming pump) and my kitchen (regular hand soap pump). I also diluted it to use as a shower gel. YES, doggone it!!! I'm kinda addicted! This is one of those places that you should actually do a personal field trip to. It will change your life. Believe it. Highly, highly recommended! UPDATE: I went back in for more hand soap concentrate and some retinol serum. By the way, soap and lotion brand name is "Further". Alyssa assisted me and she is an absolute DOLL. And I met her husband and best friend, who happened to be in the store. Simply delightful. I think this is going to be another one of my "happy" places.

They got most of the stuffs that I like but they do have seasonal sales that could go up to 75% discount so...something I got things at really cheap and by luck too. Service is slow but friendly so can't say much. There is only one cashier at the register and I only see 2 only during holidays. Overall, they got what I needed and by luck, they're on sales. Parking is easy since they have their own parking and the store is clean, bright and airy.

Store Manager: Cruz Sandoval…read more This Walgreens appears to be poorly managed. When I arrived, there were no employees working the front registers. I waited approximately 10 minutes for assistance. I politely tried to get the attention of the manager, who was working in the photo area, but he either did not hear me or chose not to respond. I waited a few more minutes, and still no one came to assist. After repeatedly waiting without help, I raised my voice simply to get someone's attention. Instead of receiving assistance, I was asked to leave the store--despite the fact that there were no cashiers available and no help provided. The store felt like it was running unattended. I have video footage showing how empty the registers were during this time. I do not recommend this Walgreens due to lack of customer service and poor management. I will be contacting corporate to report this experience.
