So sweet and accommodating! I called last minute, the day before Christmas Eve and they were able to squeeze me in before closing. My nail tech (I think her name was Hannah) made sure to get my nails exactly how I wanted them. And the girls around me were working on some beautiful nail sets with their clients. It looks like everyone here is amazing with their work and I will definitely be back! Thank you again read more

Tammy Nails & Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - La Mesa, California

Not my usual nail salon but stopped by on 01Apr2026 morning as I was running errands in the area and was in dire need of a mani/pedi They accepted walk-ins and I was attended quickly. Typically, my mani and pedi are done simultaneously by two different ladies. However, I noticed that only one lady was working on me while 4 others just paced around and chatted with each other. At first I thought they might have other clients with appointments coming in soon, but nearly an hour passed and they were still not attending other customers. What could have been a 40 minute visit took twice as long. $65 also felt excessive for regular polish, I've gotten gel polish for that amount at other salons. Customer service was also meh - she seemed annoyed when I asked to swap out the color after testing it on one nail and didn't recommend any additional services like at other salons. What was even more frustrating was that by the evening three of my nails were already chipped! Will not be returning, don't recommend! read more

So I want to start this review with the fact I did have to return to the salon 2 separate times not including the first time I came to get my nails done. Once because they didn't top coat two of my nails and the second time a couple days after because the top coat chipped(gel). They apologized and fixed my nails both times(it would've been nice for them to offer me a credit for next time due to the cost of gas and my time) That being said I do love my nails and everyone here is very sweet. They have a lot of talented nail artists and maybe the person who did mine was having an off day but even then they still look great. I got chrome stiletto nails. It was $80 for long nails with chrome. I will be returning to give them another chance. read more

Came here with a friend to try a new nail place after she read some great reviews. I only get my nails done a few times a year for special occasions, and I usually stick to the same place but I wanted to go with my friend and my usual place didn't have any same day appointments available. It was mid-day and I called and didn't need an appointment, they were available for walk-ins. The salon is an average size and is nice and quiet, relaxing, and clean. Loved my full set of gel X over my natural nails. I came in with hard gel on already so that had to be filed down. I had two nails that were short and needed tips. Tammy did a great job making sure I was happy with the length and shape of the nails every step of the way, and recommended cutting one of my long natural nails and adding a tip instead so that it would grow out straight rather than curve down. They came out smooth and exactly how I imagined! I picked a more jelly-like sheer pink so you could see the remnants of the previous gel under and some lumpy texture but that's pretty normal after getting gel on top of old gel. Unfortunately, within a week, the gel on one of my natural nails peeled at the tip a bit, but the rest lasted a long time before finally starting to lift/peel. read more

Update: They lasted!!! This has been the only time I've had any gel last longer than 10 days and these lasted longer than 3 weeks. And the acrylic didn't chip. This is be my go to nail salon. I'm only rating it low because I came in for a pink/white fill but they painted them French instead. When the lady asked what color I told her pink and white, her and my pedicurist said "French". I said yes but pink/white acrylic and the pedicure lady said we get it. Well they didn't use white acrylic just normal then she painted them French. They look nice but my nails don't hold up with gel polish so I will be very upset if the white polish starts chipping in 10 days cause pink/white acrylic wouldn't chip. If if it holds up I'll update my review but still wasn't what I asked for plus it was $60 instead of $50 for pink/white fill. read more

Lina and the girls here are so good at what they do! I started with acrylics but recently switched to Gel-X because they last me, literally twice as long. They're off the 94 or 8 freeway close to SDSU. Go see them! read more

Found my new spot! Tammy did amazing! She used to do my nails at another salon years ago and I loved her work then! I stumbled upon this place because i wanted to get my nails done but didn't want to drive too far to the place I usually go to. Needless to say I am so happy with my nails and will be returning! She introduced me to gel-x. So far I'm loving it. I also got a pedicure and both ladies took their time to perfect their craft and the results are great! read more

This salon has some of the most talented nail techs. They are all kind and the vibe is always tranquil. I appreciate the drinks they provide. Also Tammy is so deserving of her nail salon. I used to go to her years when she worked at Lily's nails in city heights (her current mother in laws place also great service there ) but she left during her pregnancy and i stopped going. Crazy to have found her again and to meet her now 4 yr old daughter!! I always leave happy ‍ they're the best. read more

I've been coming to Tammy's Nails since before the salon even opened, and I've followed Tammy and Lina because they are both incredibly talented, kind, and hardworking women. It takes serious dedication, strength, and passion to open your own nail salon and Tammy did exactly that. Lina always goes above and beyond for my nails and toes. I can give her a general idea without even showing a photo, and she still brings my vision to life every single time. I always leave happy, and I constantly get compliments. Tina is amazing at nails her nail art is out of this world. And Lin got me into gel x and let me just say, I'm never going back. Every single person in this salon slays. You can feel the care and skill in everything they do. Lina has a special place in my heart. Thank you for making my nails and toes look good and for making me look good. I'll never go anywhere else, and neither will my family. We love the service, the quality, and the energy here. Don't let one picky review distract from the real experience. This salon is built on talent, loyalty, and love. read more

I'm so happy I found this place when I moved to La Mesa! They are fairly new and do a great job. Cindy does my pedicures (great massages) and Tammy does my gel-x nails. From what I've observed, all the ladies are talented in the nail design arena- which is great! I usually just give inspo pics to Tammy and she comes up with something I'm always happy with. They are nice and offer refreshments to enjoy during your appointment. read more

y Experience at Tami's Nail Salon I've been a loyal and faithful customer at Tami's Nail Salon for a long time. I always supported their business and appreciated their work. Recently, I made an appointment in person--three days in advance--with my regular nail tech, Tami's sister. On the day of my appointment, I even stopped at Starbucks to pick up Frappuccinos for both of us. Because of that quick stop, I arrived only about four or five minutes late. When I walked in, I noticed a group of people had just been seated. They had arrived only a few minutes before me--right at the time of my appointment. Despite my loyalty, I was bumped so they could be served first. It was disappointing to see a loyal customer lose their appointment to a larger group spending more money. To pass the time, I decided to get a pedicure and give my nail tech a little break. But while waiting, things got worse. As my pedicure finished and my toes were drying, another customer from that same group came in late and wanted to sit in my spot to be next to her friend. I was asked to move from my comfortable chair--with wet nails--to a metal one as if I had just arrived. This experience showed me that loyalty didn't matter here--only money did. It was extremely disappointing and felt disrespectful after being such a faithful customer. A salon that chooses profit over ethics and loyalty does not deserve a five-star rating. BE CAREFUL THEY MIGHT GIVE YOUR APPOINTMENT AWAY UNLESS YOU SPEND BIG MONEY read more

I've been coming to Tammy Nails & Spa for months now and I can't recommend it enough. If you want to feel at peace and relaxed while getting pampered, this is the perfect place to be. The environment is welcoming, always very clean, and prices are unmatched. I personally come here to get a pedicure and Cindy has not failed me. She's the sweetest and really takes her time with everything; cuticles, shaping, polish. Not to mention, her massages are heavenly!!!!!!!! I always leave feeling like my feet got actual care, not just a quick service & they always turn out looking amazing. I went today for my pedicure and received a complimentary cuticle oil for Christmas, which was such a thoughtful surprise. It really shows how much they care about their customers and the little touches that make the experience special. Overall, I always have the best experience here, and I truly recommend it. read more

The atmosphere is welcoming and stylish, creating the perfect environment to relax and enjoy some self-care. I recently got a Gel-X full set one week and returned two weeks later for a full manicure and pedicure. I have to say, the entire staff here is incredibly kind and attentive. They genuinely go above and beyond to ensure you have an amazing experience from start to finish. If you're looking for top-notch service and a place that truly cares about its clients, this is it. I can't recommend Tammy's new shop enough! read more

Best Nail Salon I been too in a while! All are great but Lina & Tammy are the best! So sad I have to move away but definitely my go to when ever I go back into town. read more

This place is amazing! So quiet and clean, & the work they do is top notch. I was so blessed to find Tina via a mutual friend who was seeing her at her previous salon. Prior to seeing miss tina i was going down to PB paying an arm and a leg for nails that lasted 5 days max. Since coming to Tammy's nails my nails consistently not only look amazing but last for weeks at a time without a chip or break. Tina is so meticulous about her work & so talented while being very gentle during the whole process. I selfishly don't want to tell anyone about this place so I can keep it a secret, but they deserve all the praise! They consistently provide great service and everyone here is so talented! They also do gel x and builder gel (which i get) which is hard to find at many places. Pricing is extremely fair for the quality of work they do. I hope I don't ever have to part ways with this place! read more

Another wonderful pedicure by the lovely and talented Thalia. My second pedicure with this perfectionist pedicurist and it definitely will not be my last. Amazing massage, scrubbed my neglected tootsies until they were as smooth as a babies bottom, trimmed and shaped everything perfectly and all whilst almost putting me to sleep. This woman is fabulous!! And all this for a very reasonable price. Great music playing. I got in with a days notice. What more could you ask for. Love this place. read more

Came across this place while I was walking to better buzz with my sister so we decided to stop by to get our nails done. It was kinda risky since we never been here before, but whenever we walked in there we were surprised the place look extremely clean and beautiful. They told us that they are just doing soft opening, but they accepted us in anyway, one of the nails techs there shows us her work and they were all so beautiful. We decided to go with this 3D flowers design that I have saved on my Pinterest for a while. And the tech did not disappoint, our nails came out beautifully. My sister and I will be coming back to this place to get our nails done from now on. Highly recommended!! Not to mention they also offer soft drinks. Very friendly staff and environment!! read more
