T's nails is open every day and has a nice selection of colors. Tina shares her cell number with clients to call or text for an appointment. They are very accommodating and I can usually get in when I want. Mai is a wizard at picking out colors if you want a multi color manicure. They have spa chairs. The location is far enough from the crowded part of town that you can get free parking but 3 blocks from the beach, so you can catch some rays or the sunset afterwards. read more

T Nails & Spa - Manicure by Mai. - Nail Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

I went in to get my gel removed and it was painful, my nails have never been so thin. I would highly recommend not going here to get gel removed. This is also the first time I've had a manicure in probably 2 years and my nails were very healthy and strong before this whole process. read more

I wish I would've read these reviews before I walked into this place to get a fill on a perfectly good set of nails that I had done somewhere else. They messed it up so bad. I had acrylic all over my all over my cuticles they were lumpy and grumpy. They didn't even take up all of the paint from the place. I had them done before nor did they ask me what I want it this time they just started to use a powder that was the same color as the halfway taken off polish. It's only been two days and I had to go and get them taken off because I just could not stand it anymore. Very manipulative greedy people. read more

BEWARE. I never write reviews, but this shady business deserves this one. Let me walk you through the worst nail experience I've ever had. First, I booked my appointment for the salon across the street from this one. The lady outside this salon LIED to me telling me it was actually their salon (just the beginning of their lies, allegedly). By the time I sat down and realized I was in the wrong place, it was too late. The pedicure was fine. So when it came to my dip manicure, I had a little faith, despite all the other 1-star reviews on here. I showed them a pic showing what I wanted: neutral sheer chrome nails with an almond shape. I looked away for a few minutes and to my horror, I looked back at nails full of chunky glitter glue-like dip powder with a pink base. The man gaslit me the whole time, telling me to relax, the shape would be better later, and that it would look like the picture in the end. When he put the top coat on, and it did not in fact magically turn into chrome nails, but what someone described to me in horror as "toasted coconut topping" nails. Oh and to top it off, he cut my skin under my thumb and it bled, and just didn't disinfect it. When I told them it looked nothing at all like the picture I showed them, they said "it doesn't always look like the picture," left the other hand unfinished, and charged me the full $45 for the set. The salon I was supposed to go to all along (way to go, directionally challenged self) saved my nails. You know it's bad when the nail techs fixing your nails are asking to take pics of this horrific mani. Allegedly, they have to fix the emergencies of T Nails & Spa regularly. They told me that a customer allegedly brought in a gift certificate for their salon to T Nails on accident. T Nails allegedly said they would honor it and that it's their salon, did the service. Then allegedly said it actually wasn't their salon and charged them the full price. Lots of great alternatives in the area, just save yourself the stress of dealing with this sham of a place. read more

Tina is the boss! This salon has been here 27 years, good deal on a basic manicure pedicure. Nice area, near good restaurants, coffee shop, 7 eleven and beach. read more

Great little local shop. Very nice and friendly and have been here for over 27 years. I took my mom here and she loved it

The best place in PB to get a cheap mani/pedi. It's convenient, not overpriced and the service is great.

Best service in Pacific Beach, low prices in comparison to La Jolla. I live in La Jolla and I drive here cause it's half the price but same service and quality. Can't go wrong with coming here! Love these owners, they are hilarious. read more

T Nails & Spa - Pedicure - Nail Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

Took my daughter, sister and niece for mani/pedi. Super fast and inexpensive! Highly recommend.

I went here as I live close by and needed my nails done for an upcoming trip. Got medium length acrylic nails. My nails were done and looked great, good color and fast service. Since I normally don't do my nails at a salon I asked how long they would last. I got a little bit longer than past the finger, so not too long. I was told they would last for weeks and sometimes up to a month. Within 3 days into my vacation they started to chip, chunks off the side. I had to clip one nail all the way as short as they would go to the skin because the break was so bad! Soon enough 4 others chipped and now I have short nails again after only 1 week! Would not recommend. read more

OK, so I wanted to update my review and show you guys just how good the gel is! This is my manicure that I got on March 1, 2021. You can see that there hasn't been any flaw with the gel, just growth on my nails. I genuinely will never go to another nail salon ever again read more

Been coming here for at least 10 years and have never found a better place in PB! At $32 for spa mani/pedi, the prices are unbeatable. They always do a great job and are super nice to talk to. read more

Honestly I will agree, the place can use an update. But with an update comes prices increases . You can't beat the prices that this place has. I paid 55 (not including tip) for gel manicure + pedi. The owner & her husband were super friendly. & my nails looks just as good as other places that I've gone to. read more

Gross, stunk of cigarettes, horrible nail cut square top and round sides - avoid. There are many salons in PB and I was walking and decided to get a manicure. Should have left as salon stunk of cigarettes. Lady was friendly but job was a zero - barely a massage. I will never return read more

I love T's nails and spa!! They are so friendly and welcoming and are so sweet! i am someone who is so indecisive with colors or will accidentally mess up and chip the polish and they ALWAYS help fix my color!! They also always are trying to ensure that you are comfortable and happy! The prices are awesome too !! read more

Hidden gem! It's rarely busy, they are friendly, great prices and do a great job! They give great massage (a must for me) - I even did the add on massage and loved it. I took my 3 yr old here and they were great with her. Gave her a "pedi/mani" with coconuts on the nails and were able to get her to sit still! They also have tv which helps. Also their gel stays on for a while! This is a pic of my gel nails a week later and it looks like I just got em done. Go here- you'll love it. read more

Love this place!! Friendly staff and gel that lasts a long time! Highly recommend for the fair pricing as well

They lied about pricing on the phone and overcharged me after my full set was done. The polish was sloppy and dripped over the edges so it was clumpy on the side. The person mocked me for my nail choice and did a horrible job. They rushed me though the process and I felt very disrespected and disappointed in the result. I went there for the cheap pricing but they uncharged me for no reason and I still had to tip! No thank you on my hard earned money!! read more

The people that work here are so friendly and lovely and also do such an amazing job. I highly recommend !

Love this nail salon bc they do an excellent job and are so kind. Husband and wife owned business and they are hilarious. I got a gel mani and spa pedi for only $39! They have great color options and I got the exact color I wanted :) see photo! read more

Very nice nail spa. The employees are very polite, everything is clean, safety COVID measures are in place, pedicure was outside. The weather was great and so was my pedi! Very nice lady! Very pleased with pedicure! read more

Best deal in PB and T is the absolute best!! She is so nice, funny, and great to chat with. T & her team take the best care and are beyond accommodating. Awesome massages for great price. I always leave here feeling and looking good. Best deal in town $20 pedicure. read more

I decided to try this place because their prices were good and they were friendly on the phone. I'll admit I was about 10 minutes late for my appointment, but they didn't seem to mind and there was no one else there. The cuticle cutting was good and he took his time on it, but when it came to painting and the Shellac itself, it was so rushed. People started walking in and they were understaffed. It was extremely sloppy and now 5 of my nails have bubbles, probably from not being under the dryer long enough. Also, the edges weren't cleaned at all so I was picking the glue off afterward and it was tearing at my skin. On top of that, they rushed me out. I was sitting under the UV lamp and the lady said, "Ok you pay now" and I got my card out. Then she "reminded" me I still had to pay while my card was sitting in plain sight. They were definitely too busy for the 2 people they had doing nails. I won't be going back. The only reason for 2 stars is the price--but then I guess you get what you pay for. read more

I like this nail salon. It is very easy to get in to, not the fanciest place, but SO much better than all of the other places I've been to around town and elsewhere. The prices are fantastic, so I always over-tip partially because of that, but really because they do such a good job. My gel manicures come out perfectly, other local places make them too thick and they pop off quickly. My nails last SO much longer when I get them done here and I get compliments (I don't really care a ton about compliments, but it does show that people notice they did a good job). Tina does the greatest job with cuticles as well and is a perfectionist. Her husband and another lady there also are very good. I have had great conversations and good energy with all three of them. Tina and her husband have great personalities, they are good people. Some people don't understand Tina's personality because she is so vibrant, and she speaks her mind, in a good way. (I would much rather have that than people who totally ignore you or don't care. They care). My boss and his sister have been going to T nails for ages, that is why I started. She even helps walk him out to the car and opens the door. This is a totally comfortable place, they do a good job and it is not like the cattle call places elsewhere. It is totally calm, yet at the same time they are very efficient. Highly recommend. read more

The man who did my nails completely ignored what I said I wanted . He left most of my fingers bleeding and left acrylic all over my fingers . Will not be returning . 0/10 would not recommend . read more

I hate writing bad reviews but this was not a good experience. They ran out of hot water (not their fault) and filled up my tub with a 7/11 cup. Like other comments, the tools did not look clean. I saw her take the callus scrubber sponge out of a trash can!!! When I said something she got defensive. Asked me every 2 minutes if "I was okay" which made it a very not relaxing experience. I kept turning off my massage chair and she kept turning it back on. They have great deals but unfortunately will not be returning. read more

Love this place!! Tina is so friendly and funny, it's a always nice coming in just to see her and chat. Started off with just getting my lip waxed and kept coming back because her prices are fair and she does a great job. Just finished my first pedicure and I am very pleased!! Mai did a great job with my cuticles and gave me the best massage I've ever had at a nail salon!! If you want honest, friendly, great service, then this is the place for you! read more

I love Tina's Nails & Spa! Tina, Johnny, and Mai are so friendly and hardworking. They really care about their customers and they're always willing to fix prematurely chipped nails. They have an assortment of colors (gel and regular). They're prices can't be beat. I love coming here because first of all, Tina is so hilarious, and second of all, there is never a wait, even when the place is packed. They will always fit you in. Mai is a total perfectionist and always makes my nails look great. I wouldn't think of going anywhere else. read more

This place is awful. The man and woman were both very friendly however there seemed to be a language barrier since there were a handful of issues I ran into. I saw their special for a spa pedi/mani for $25 so I couldn't pass that up! When I first entered and was looking at the colors, I commented that they all look shimmery. These were OPI colors that I've used before and I know they do not have that glitter/shimmer in them. My guess is that these bottles are extremely old. They also had wet and wild, pure ice and other shitty, non-salon quality polishes. Anyways, she guaranteed me that the colors don't turn out shimmery so I picked a gray OPI polish and got in the chair. Well it was shimmery, and she kept denying it. They did offer to change the color if I didn't like it (obviously I didn't) and I picked one of the few nail polishes that didn't have shimmer. I kept the same shimmery color on my toes because I just wanted to get out of there. The woman kept saying "don't worry, be happy" when I would do/say anything. It was beyond annoying. I would be happy if she stopped saying that! I asked her 3 times if the callous treatment was included in the $25 spa pedicure package and she kept saying "yeah honey, don't worry, be happy". Then when she charges me at the end she says $31. I said "you told me it was included!" I'm not a cheapskate either but this place was just disgusting and I couldn't wait to get out of there. To top it all off, there was a dead, cooked full chicken (her lunch) sitting below the TV. Gross. read more

SO Unsanitary and Unprofessional!! I have no idea how this place is in business. The tools they used on me were clearly dirty and the brush in the nail polish bottle was all mangled. The man who did my nails cut me while doing my cuticles. These people have no standards when it comes to cleanliness. Pretty sure I contracted a disease just from spending 30 minutes there. Do yourself a favor and never ever go here... My nails are bumpy, uneven, and look terrible. Thank you for ruining my day T Nails & Spa! read more

Went to get dip removed. Woman went to far and made my nails bleed despite me telling her to stop. I left promptly but was still asked to pay. My nails are very brittle and thin and have slashes through them due to misuse of the dremel. Not to mention the dremel was being shared; overall very unsanitary. Will never return. read more

I am shocked to see so many negative comments on here! I had the most wonderful experience here. Prices are amazing and I received the best gel french manicure I have ever had. I NEVER get my gels to last me a full two weeks and these stayed absolutely perfect for 2.5 weeks! Also the french looked amazing, sometimes other places it can be a little too thick or just not natural looking, but my french from here was my absolute favorite! And the conversation and pedicure were delightful as well read more

This is def. not a high end spa or salon, but if you are looking for an in-expensive mani/pedi T-Nails is PERFECT! Johnny and Tina are a little crazy, but their heart is in the right place :) Tina isn't the greatest at doing nails, but most of the time they have some other ladies working there and they do a pretty good job. Michelle, one of thheir employees that works on weekends gives an amazing foot massage!! Bottom line: I believe you get what you pay for, and if you are looking for a quick, cheap place to get your nails done then T-Nails is great! read more

I came here for a mani/pedi with a friend. I would almost give them 3 stars because their prices are so inexpensive ($22 for a regular mani/pedi), but the service just wasn't very good. The woman who did my nails was nice, but also rough and aggressive (she pulled my arm a couple of times and said thanks after). The massage was very poor and her paint job was sloppy. The woman who did my toes did a better job, her massage was great, but still not the best pedicure I've had. I might come back here for a regular or spa pedicure with the younger woman or man, but not with the older woman (I think she might be the owner). read more
