I love this place. The team is so nice and they remember all their customers. They do a fantastic job on pedicures and manicures. They take their time and don't rush you to get throughput like some other salons. They are very Covid-safe. I love this place! read more

They are the best! Best prices in the scripps poway area and they do a great job! No matter what it is whether it's a wax or a pedicure they do an awesome job! I never request anyone but I do always make a appointment and they are always on time! Lots of parking too! read more

I have been going to MVP Nails for years and have never had anything but wonderful service. Everytime I come here I feel extremely welcomed and taken cared of the moment I step inside. The salon is not really that big but it has lots of services that you can choose from. It's clean, no nasty smell and it has relaxing music while they do manicure/pedicure and massage your arms and legs. Kim has been my nail tech ever since I started going there. She's highly recommended together with Kimmy and Brian who are the experts in acrylic/gel. Calling ahead for an appointment would be the best thing to do since they're always super busy. If you haven't been there yet, they are located in the lovely neighborhood of Scripps Ranch villages. Thank you guys for your usual excellent service! read more

Great service! Diana was so awesome and paid attention to every detail to make sure my gel manicure looked beautiful! Definitely coming back! read more

SOPHIA NAILS & SPA - 1 week later & my gel mani still looks great! Thank you so much, Diana! Chrome nails with CND shellac #34 (Cake pop) rainbow chrome powder - Nail Salons Near Me - Poway, California

my new nail spot- couldn't be happier with the paint job. My shellac nails and OPI nail polish colors didn't match as well as i thought the were going to, but i cannot argue with their quality. I guess i should have swatted out/tested both polishes to be 110% happy. This is the perfect balance of moderate pricing and good quality. I would recommend anyone to get a mani/pedi here. They take their time with filing- which my other places didn't, and I hate when the shape is off. The technicians that did my nails and toes were great, and took their time with the details. Will post some photos later! read more

Absolutely love this place. Michelle and Brian are the best!! So happy with how my nails turned out. Showed them a picture from Pinterest and they duplicated it perfectly. Thank you Brian & Michelle!! I definitely will be coming back! read more

Kimmie was awesome!! I showed them a design on pinterest and she was so willing to try. In the end...it was probably one of the best designs I've ever had. She was patient and kind and took her time with me to make sure I was satisfied. Love them!! See the pictures. read more

This is my go to place for nails. I have gone to other salons in the area but they don't as good of a job as MVP does. They are my monthly treat to myself :) read more

It's my first time going to a nail salon in SD, and this salon is literally down the street from my boyfriend. Kimmie did my acrylics and it's very pretty! The shape is very on point and she really took her time and it was already an hour pass closing time. She's very sweet and I'd definitely go back again. The only thing I'd have to say is, my nails are a bit thick. But overall very pretty! read more

I love that this place is near my house and they provide excellent service. The staff makes an effort to get to know their customers. It was my first time here but just about everyone else that came in were return customers. That says a lot about a place. The price is reasonable. I know some people think it's on the higher end but the quality and time they spend on you is well worth it. I've been looking for a good nail salon in the area since moving to Scripps Ranch and I think I've just found it. Highly recommend! read more

Love this salon! I have been getting my gel manicures done here for 4 months! Brian pays attention to detail and I leave with a fantastic manicure every time! The entire staff is friendly and engaging, and salon is clean. I have recommended this salon to my friends and coworker and strongly encourage people to try it out! read more

Kimmy is THE BEST!! I have been a loyal MVP nails customer since September of 2016 and have never left disappointed! Kimmy, and all of the employees here, take great pride in their work and are also absolute angels to talk to. Whenever I have a dry spell where I'm not able to come in, I genuinely miss Kimmy's company because she is so sweet and kind. I highly recommend MVP nails and especially Kimmy for any manicure, pedicure, gel, acrylic, chrome, etc. Amazing spot with amazing people! read more

I've been going to MVP nails for a while now, pre-covid, and I never leave disappointed. All the employees are extremely sweet and personable, and do a great job at giving you exactly what you want/ask for. As for making appointments, they are always very flexible about making time for you and work well around your schedule. My friends & I love this place and recommend it to anyone looking for a new nail spa! read more

This is a great place. My first visit. I've been looking for a new nail salon in Poway/Scripps Ranch area. Service was wonderful. Perfect mani/pedi. Already booked my next appointment! Very pleased read more

My new nail place. Won't go anywhere else. Great prices and they do a very thorough job. My nails look great! Thank you, Diana!

Overpriced and rude staff (especially the owner "Kimmie" by judging the other reviews and photos on this page). They charged me more to take off my gel and file down one single toe than it costs to do a brand new manicure. A while ago, I had to get an acrylic toenail on one of my toes because of an unfortunate broken nail incident. It had overgrown since and I wanted to just get it shaved down a little bit so it doesn't poke a hole through my sock or something. They charged me the price of cutting and filing nails for my whole foot, even though she only touched one toe. Some good places with decent customer service would throw that into the price I was already paying for other services. It took her less than 30 seconds to fix. It's unfortunate because I've been a loyal customer coming here for years because of one very nice lady who works here (unfortunately I don't know her name) but I think now my time here is done. They were extremely rude about discussing the price with me when I was paying and questioning the price, like they were ready to take my money and throw me out. Again there's a certain way to talk to customers and these people don't have it. read more

Great place! I go here all the time and it took me a while to finally post a review. Today Sophie did gel with chrome, loved it. I also took my 4 year old with me who had a good time and walked out with great nails too! read more

I tried to love this place because it's cute but their quality is not there. Their prices are higher than a lot of other spots in Poway. They insist on gel over acrylic and charge $10 more for the gel. They refuse to use normal polish. I used them for about 3 months and ever fill I had nails that broke and I do not do anything rough with my hands. The last visit the gel peeled off within 2 days. I went back in and she redid the nails that peeled and layered on so much clear coat that by the next morning, all the others peeled off too. I asked for a refund and they insisted that I return for them to remove my acrylics before they will refund me. So ridiculous! I don't know who has time to go to a salon three times in a week and why wouldn't you just refund someone for doing poor work? Unbelievable. She said since i repainted them it doesn't represent their product. Well I can't exactly go to work with chunks of nail gel coming off or half off polish. Gel should not just peel off like tape. Took me 5 mins to get it all off. read more

One of my favorite nail salons EVER! I've been coming for years!! Ask for Kimmy. She does an AMAZING job with acrylics and can do any shape and any color that you want. All the ladies are awesome for pedicures! Highly recommend Kimmy!! read more

I had a lovely experience here today. The manicurists were efficient and professional, and the salon was sparking clean.

This is such a relaxing, quality salon. Kim, the owner, has such an attention to detail and does great work. I live 15 minutes away but am willing to drive for this great place with nice staff. read more

Reasonable prices and great work. Highly recommend. We are fortunate to have them nearby.

the staff at this salon are professional, careful, and quick! my acrylic fill was done in 45 minutes & was leaps and bounds better than the salon they were originally done at that took 2 hours. even when they are busy they take special care of each customer and make sure you love your nails. favorite set of acrylics i've ever gotten! read more

I never been comfortable with people touching my feet let alone to get a pedicure. So while my aunt was getting her nails done, I decided why not. Kim was the person that worked on my pedicure and she was very nice and not mention she kept asking me if i okay and how I was doing. This place is very clean, not like the usual nail shops. Everyone there was very polite and friendly. My aunt and I both left very happy with our manicure and pedicure. We will be returning. read more

I walked in without an appointment and they took me in right away for mani/pedi. Fastest time I've ever been put in a chair! Everyone at the salon was so kind and actually tried to have conversations with me. They took their time with the massages and didn't rush at all. Everywhere else seems to only massage for a minute or two. This was my third time here and I will definitely be back for more! Prices are very reasonable and I love my nails! read more

Stopped in here on a whim after i dropped my son off at preschool. My daughter and i got pedis. My daughter is 6 and it was her first time. The ladies were all super nice and friendly. They did a great job, prices are really average. My kid asked a million questions and they were sweer and answered them and made her feel comfortable. read more

I've been going here since Nov. 2012 & I have yet to be disappointed! Yen does my nails exactly the way I like them. They have a nice selection of polish & the salon is always clean! This works for me read more

I have been to MVP nails three times now. The first and third time were AMAZING. The best pedicures I have ever have! The second time I wasn't impressed with. The lady really hurt me, wasn't very friendly and the massage was not impressive at all. However, being that the first and third time were amazing especially with the foot massages, I highly recommend and will continue to return and recommend to my friends. I just know who I don't want to do my pedicure if she is still there. read more
