The NewMe Nails - Amazing set from Mochi!! - Nail Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

Let me set the stage: I am not a bougie girl, but I *do* care about service quality and the value I get for what I pay. This is my neighborhood nail salon and it's perfect in that way - clean, consistent, not too fancy, kind of quirky in a way I love, and a solid value. Been coming here now over 2 years and it's a consistently great place. I always make an appointment (come on now - it's Mission Valley! Call ahead! haha) - and have never had to wait more than 5-10min even on a weekend. The staff are always so, so friendly and do an AMAZING job. I love Lisa and Ava - detail oriented, perfect gel pedicure, zero accidental pinches or clips or other mistakes I have experienced elsewhere - but honestly all of staff have been so good to me. Their lotion and scrubs smell SO GOOD! Pricing also really fair for San Diego. Every once in a while I go elsewhere and regret it. I would recommend this place no question. As an example - once I was there when this other lady came in and wanted her black toenail polish removed and a new color done in 45 min because she was on her lunch break. Long story short, she was being EXTRA and really rude about a lot of things that were more related to her choice to have black toenail polish than anything the staff were doing. Anyway, I was so impressed at the way the staff handled it - the "customer is always right" almost to a fault, and they were kind when I would have LOST it at her. They are good people, and work hard. I will definitely keep supporting that kind of team! read more

I'm very particular when it comes to my nails and always look for someone with precision, attention to detail, and genuine courteousness -- Ben exemplified every one of those qualities. From the moment I sat down, I could tell he took pride in his work. He was meticulous and made sure every nail was shaped evenly, smooth, and clean without rushing through any part of the process. One thing I especially appreciated was that he did not aggressively drill down my natural nails. I've had experiences at other salons where nail techs over-file or thin out your real nails, and it can be damaging. Ben was careful, gentle, and clearly focused on preserving the health of my natural nails while still giving me beautiful results. Beyond Ben himself, the overall atmosphere of the salon was wonderful. The hospitality stood out immediately -- every staff member I interacted with was warm, welcoming, and friendly. Shout out to Mochi, Tiffany, and the front staff. You can feel that they genuinely care about creating a comfortable experience and not just getting clients in and out. The salon was clean, relaxing, and had such a positive energy. I left feeling not only happy with my nails but also appreciated as a customer. Finding a nail tech you trust can be difficult, and I'm so glad I found Ben and the rest of the team. Three of my friends and one of my neighbors have already gone here based on my recs and they adopted this salon and their new go-to nail salon as well. I'll definitely be returning and recommending them to friends and family. read more

If I could give more stars I would! I didn't have an appointment, but was welcomed immediately. Ben was my nail tech today, I can't say how impressed I am with the level of detail and dedication he put into my nails. I showed him a design I liked, but wasn't attached to and was willing compromise if needed. Ben made sure all my nail dreams came true and even exceeded my expectations!! I've always had a very positive experience here and no matter who's available, they are able to transform my nails into beautiful works of art. Everyone is so nice and the vibe is always positive. Love that I've found my new nail place! read more

Great place good peaceful environment Ben Is great with acrylic seriously a professional and great location

I visited this nail salon on the day of my appointment for a last-minute gel pedicure. Surprisingly, they managed to fit me in without any hassle. The service was swift, and they had a good number of technicians available, which was a huge relief. All the technicians wore aprons, and the salon was spotlessly clean. The massaging chair was quite comfortable. Since I'm not much of a talker, I appreciated that my technician didn't engage in excessive conversation. It was also reassuring to see a lot of local regulars, which added to the welcoming atmosphere. Their social media page showcased some impressive nail art designs, which piqued my interest. I might consider returning here for a nail art session in the future. The prices were reasonable compared to other nail salons in the area. The pedicure itself was excellent. However, I had to request additional colors after they only showed me two palettes that didn't include the shade I wanted. The overall ambiance of the salon was cheerful and bright, creating a pleasant environment for my visit. The location is convenient, with ample parking nearby. There are also several eateries around, including a Ralph's center if you'd like to do some grocery shopping afterward. read more

They took me in very quick and accommodated to me as a walk in as much as they could which I really appreciate- their salon was pretty busy. Other walk ins were also accommodated to quickly as well. Their customer service was not mind blowing but it wasn't terrible either. Process was quick, so i was in and out with a gel x set and pedicure in about an hour maybe hour 30 min. I definitely think hand lotion and cuticle oil after my set would've made my experience more enjoyable. Overall i would come back for a gel x set, but not a pedicure only bc the different packages didn't appeal to me. read more

This place is great....like "busy af but somehow still thriving" great. They were packed, yet magically managed to get all three of us in for pedicures together, even while the front area looked like a stylish waiting‑room flash mob. Efficiency deserves applause. Everyone was genuinely kind, which is impressive considering the foot‑traffic marathon happening around them. And the pedicure? Not rushed in the slightest. I actually got to soak, unwind, and enjoy a full 15‑minute massage that briefly transported me to a world where deadlines don't exist. The Valentine's colors were adorable too, festive without screaming "Cupid attacked me." Bonus points: there's a bathroom you can actually use (a luxury in busy salons), they offer drinks, and the chairs are so comfortable I considered staying there permanently. The décor is glam in that "I suddenly feel fancier than I actually am" way. Two men's pedicures, one women's pedicure, three sets of very happy feet. We're absolutely coming back for manicures because at this point, we're basically part of the furniture; in the most glamorous way possible. read more

The NewMe Nails - Builder gel manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

I was looking for a place in SD that did cute nails and stumbled upon this shop while doing a yelp search. They were able to take me as a walk in which I was grateful for and the salon itself is cute and clean. I got gelx with design which turned out cute but I had to dock a few points for procedures and carelessness. My nail technician used a regular nail file at the end to even out the bottom of the nails but her file had really sharp edges and she pressed into my finger with so much force, it cut into my skin on both sides. I've NEVER had that happen to me before, I've experienced a few cuticle nicks here and there but this cut was deep enough to make me bleed and ask for a bandaid after they told me to wash my hands and pose for pictures. The picture I included here is a few hours after the service, after I had treated it with Neosporin and let the wound close. This nail salon also does not trim your cuticles. They also don't provide any cuticle oil or lotion so my hands were feeling pretty dry afterwards. Not sure if this is common practice in SD, but it was a first for me. I was pleasantly surprised when they put sunscreen on my hands before I put my fingers into the UV lamp though! If I were to return, I'd schedule an appointment with a different nail tech. read more

I was initially told I would receive a "hot gel" service, and later during the appointment I was told it was Gel-X. After doing some research, I learned that Gel-X is a service that uses full cover tips for length extensions. However, during the appointment, I did not see any tips or extensions being applied, so it did not look like a Gel-X service. It looked like a regular gel manicure. I also later checked and saw that the price for Gel-X is listed as $65, but I was charged $70. There was no clear explanation about the pricing beforehand. Overall, the process lacked transparency, and I left feeling confused and unsure about what I was charged for. I recommend clearly confirming both the service details and the price before starting. One color gel-nail $70+tip... read more

Mochi never disappoints... she is your go to girl for the best set. Always in love with my nails.

Mothi did such a great job with my nails! I asked for a manicure and she recommended builder gel which can make my nails last longer and healthier. Can be a little pricey, and paid $85 overall with builder gel, chrome, french tip. It could be cleaned up a little more with leftover polish around my fingers but overall amazing job! Highly recommend Mothi, and fun to talk to. read more

Came here for my first time since I was looking for a new nail shop and they did not disappoint. The wait was about 20 minutes but that's normal if you're walking in with no appointment. My nail tech Tiana did amazing, I will definitely be back. I will say I was a litte disappointed during check out when I noticed the girl infront of me was asked if she had a stamp card but I wasn't. As my first time here it would've been nice to be offered one. Not a big deal just something I noticed other than that the place was accommodating and I'm happy with my nails which I haven't in awhile! read more

Never in my life have I had an experience like this. I spent almost $130 for a full acrylic set on my feet, it took almost 2 hours. So first I'm grossly overcharged for something that should've took 40 minutes. Ok fine. All of that just for them to use cheap products, that didn't last long on me. My nails pop off like they are press ons, and as someone who's gotten acrylic sets for years, that is absolutely not supposed to happen. Most acrylics I have to file and use acetone to remov Extremely disappointed with the service, especially considering I got charged almost 2x what I normally pay. Not only that but cheap acrylic products lifting like that can lead to mold growing between the nails so it's a health concern too. read more

The friendliness, the open communication, the skill that exists in this salon is just amazing!! Mochi and Lisa made sure I had the most pleasurable experience and got my nails looking right, even though I changed my mind or was a little indecisive in the beginning. Both did a great job!! I got acrylic overlay with gel on my fingers, and gel pedicure. I always come back and will continue to do so ‍ read more

Ava was wonderful! She's very detailed and does not rush her process. I loved the selection of colors. Four stars only because there wasn't much place to keep my belongings so I just had my water and bag on my lap and a bit crowded, but maybe I just went at a busy time. I'll be going again though to see how it goes! Place was clean which I appreciated. read more

I had the worst pedicure I have ever had at this establishment. Unfortunately you're treated like cattle instead of a person. just trying to get you in and out as fast as they can to turn over and bring the next client in. No real connection with your technician. My technician just painted over my toe nail that was broken instead of trying to fix the nail. The next day the nail just cracked & my polish was all messed up on that toe! I wish I had taken a pic of this but unfortunately the didn't think of it at the time. Needless to say, I won't be returning to this place.. read more

This place is such a gem in the neighborhood. You can bring any design in & they will make it happens!!! The staff is super friendly! Highly recommend!!! read more

I've been to this salon more than once, and unfortunately had the same issue both times. After my most recent visit, I noticed a dark mark on my toenail again on my other foot. The fact is this has now happened twice after receiving service here raises concerns about technique and/or sanitation. I did my own research and learned this can result from rough filing, excessive pressure during the service, or tools going too deep along the edge of the nail. The technician who worked on me was noticeably rough, which makes this even more concerning. What was even more disappointing than the issue itself was how it was handled. I approached the staff calmly and respectfully to understand what was going on. Instead of taking my concern seriously, I was immediately blamed and told I must have caused it myself. There was no effort to properly examine it or acknowledge that it could be related to the service. When I asked to speak to a manager, I was told the manager is "on vacation for a month" so I won't be able to speak to someone about it , which felt dismissive. The employee I spoke with before at the shop gave me a fake name over the phone. They knew exactly who I was when I called and asked to speak to a manager. At that point, it felt like I was being brushed off rather than helped. As a paying customer, I wasn't expecting perfection but I did expect basic customer care. I remained calm and respectful the entire time, so the lack of professionalism and transparency was very disappointing. Because of this experience, I won't be returning. I would strongly encourage others to pay close attention to how their nails are handled here and how concerns are addressed afterward. This situation could have been handled very differently with basic professionalism and honesty. I hope the owner takes this feedback seriously and makes improvements. I don't usually leave reviews I normally just choose not to return but the level of customer service I experienced here was too disappointing. read more

Today I treated myself to a visit at The New Me Nail Salon for the very first time--and on my birthday, no less! I had seen that they offer luxury pedicures, and since it was a special occasion, I decided to splurge on their most expensive option ($120). It was worth every penny. From start to finish, the experience felt indulgent and relaxing. The luxury pedicure included hot stone massage, steam, exfoliation, and a variety of oils, creams, and scrubs that left my feet unbelievably soft. My pedicure was done by Mochi, who went above and beyond--she not only gave me a thorough leg and foot massage but, since I didn't want gel polish, she even treated me to a shoulder massage instead. Throughout the whole service she was attentive, checking in constantly to make sure I was comfortable and that nothing was too hot or painful. I also got a manicure, which was just as soothing and left my hands feeling soft and refreshed. Between the massages, the attention to detail, and the overall atmosphere, it felt like the perfect way to spend my birthday. I walked out feeling calm, pampered, and very happy with both my manicure and pedicure. If you're looking to treat yourself to a true luxury pedicure experience, I highly recommend The New Me Nail Salon. I will definitely be coming back! read more

10/10 recommend this salon! All of the nail techs are amazing, and they have a huge selection of colors to choose from. I've been coming here for years and always leave loving my nails. Vivian does an incredible job with both acrylics and Gel-X. For pedicures, I love going to Ava. But if they aren't available, I trust anyone there. The quality is worth every penny- I usually go about five weeks between fills and pedicures, and my nails always hold up beautifully. I have sent a few friends here and they have also loved their nails. read more

I called in 2 Friday's prior to set a mani/pedi appointment for 6 kids @5:30pm on a Saturday. I initially called here because of the set up of the pedicure chairs how they're all lined up& I didn't want the girls separated. I called the morning of the appt to confirm because I didn't get a confirmation call or text &to add 1 more kid, so that kinda worried me. But they said we were all set and ready to go. The receptionist did call me at 4:50ish saying if we wanted to come in a bit earlier, they had available workers, so we did just that. Got there around 5pm and out the door at 6:40pm. $40/kid mani/pedi set, regular, no gel. I forgot to have the girls all do a group picture with their colors. But they all got different colors& it was so cute! They had a blast! Definitely a place to check out!! *FYI - The phone number listed is connected to the owner's phone, so when you call sometimes they're not in the salon and they have to call the salon to have the receptionist call you back.* read more

I'll preface this by saying that I'm usually just an at-home pedicure girl and don't even like painting my fingernails. BUT I do like pampering myself and trying new things. The salon was decently busy, but we were seen just about at our afternoon appointment time. My fiancé and I opted for the Love pedicure for our date as well as manicures. They offered drinks and made us comfortable despite the bustling environment. We were treated to a variety of foot creams, masks, exfoliants, and a massage; my favorite was the hot stones. All of the technicians were very kind and professional. I was really happy with my pedicure and how soft my skin felt, and I was impressed with how quick they were with painting my nails. Only couple of hiccups were around my fiancé's pedicure and my manicure. They ended up rushing his nail painting so it ended up a little sloppy. I also opted to have no painting done for my manicure (really just wanted someone to clean up my cuticles) but they still buffed my nails so they looked really scratched up. I also ended up refiling my own nails and fixing them myself. Ultimately, given how little I like doing to my nails, I'll probably continue to just do my own mani-pedis at home but I can see how this appeals to more people! read more

I've been coming to NewMe Nails for about a year now since moving to the area, and they've consistently been amazing. It's become my regular spot for manicures, and every single nail tech I've seen has done an incredible job -- my nails always look fabulous when I walk out. I usually make a reservation just to be safe (they get busy!), but they also accept walk-ins which is super convenient. One of the cool perks is their loyalty stamp card if you pay in cash -- after 10 visits you get a discount! I'm currently on visit #8, so I'm excited to see what I get soon! Most recently, I started getting GelX extensions about two appointments ago and I'm honestly never going back to my old routine. I used to have to come in every couple weeks because of breakage or lifting, but with GelX, my nails have stayed strong and flawless for a whole month. Full set is $65 and a GelX fill is $55. They have an ATM to pull out cash in the back of the salon and it's only a $.50 fee so not too bad. The salon is clean, the staff is welcoming, and the quality of service is top-tier. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dependable and stylish nail salon in the area! read more
