    Gel with designs
    Jenny N.

    Jennie is so good! You have to make an appt ahead of time but it's worth it! Her pricing is fair and her design skills and nail skills are great! She's super attentive and pleasant. She's an independent worker so you'll have to go to a salon and she'll get you when you arrive and take you to her nail room! I just showed her a photo and she did it for me :)

    gel manicure with Jennie's handprinted flowers

    Jennie is SO talented, sweet, and extremely attentive to detail! She is kind and professional, and worked efficiently. Yet she took care at each step, and also communicated well with me to make sure I got the exact opacity, color, nail shape, and design I wanted. My nails came out perfect and I couldn't ask for more. I got: Gel manicure (on my natural nails) -- $40 Additional design (white flowers with gold center) -- $10 When handpainting the flowers, Jennie even took care to ensure the placement was symmetrical on both hands--something that many people can overlook, but a small detail that makes a huge difference and shows Jennie's dedication and artistry. Highly highly recommend!!

    Simple Gel Manicure

    I only treat myself to getting my nails done a couple of times a year, so when I get them done I'm very picky. Jennie has blown me away with her precision when it comes to doing nails. It's like an art form to her, and you can tell she takes her time to make sure it's absolutely perfect. In almost every other nail salon I've been to I've felt so rushed, but not with Jennie. I highly recommend checking her out if you're in the area and need a gel manicure that will last 3+ weeks!

    Another AWESOME Job done! Our family was here again for another PB vacation and I knew I needed my nails done. This is my only nail shop I visit! Annie started on my luxury pedicure soaking my feet in warm water, removing my old nail polish, followed by a nice sugar scrub down on my legs and feet! Then Kim removed my old gel nail polish and prepped my nails for the next step. Jenn is the only person who did the dip nails and I opted for The Ombré natural look! Jenn did an amazing job! I love them! And they're all my natural nails too! See you in another year or so!! Tip: make an appointment if you know what you want! That way you walk right in and you're all set!! Thank you ladies!

    Jennie is beyond amazing! Her artistry and technique are some of the best I have ever experienced in the San Diego area. She's super dedicated and will make sure you end up with nails that you love. I'm constantly impressed and will continue to be a loyal client

    I got the cutest gel manicure from Jennie! She's great and pays attention to detail, will definitely be back!

    I think I found my go-to nail place! The people here are so nice. I was even late for my appointment. I got a mani-pedi done here! I chose the basic treatment for my pedi. They did a great job. I was offered a mimosa which was perfectly made. It is complimentary too I believe. I didn't know what color to choose for my toes and I was given a nude color that came our beautifully. I wish I took a photo. I loved the treatment from the water temperature up til the slight foot massage. It was relaxing! I love their color selections and there is a wide variety. I chose a beautiful pink color. I love how gentle they are on the hands. I will definitely come back! Parking can be tough but I came during a weekday so I was able to find parking easily around the neighborhoods.

    Amazing. BO never disappoints. Her work is absolutely flawless. I'm extremely picky about my nails, i notice everything little thing which takes the relaxation right out of a manicure. With Bo i just sit and read, listen to podcasts, whatever. I don't stress or worry she's going to miss the side of my nail. She's a perfectionist. It works out wonderfully. On top of that, you really just cannot beat the price.

    I absolutely love Jenny. She rocks at acrylics. The only bad thing about this pace is the location, it's right next door to Duck Dive and a Mexican place which means trying to park in PB is a joke. Give yourself enough time to find a place to par so you're not late. Other than that, prices are great, the work is excellent.

    Fill with gel
    Taylor T.

    I'm so glad that I found this place. I live in the area and have tried multiple salons but haven't truly been satisfied with the work I've received. I came to this place for the first time the other day and was pleasantly surprised. I received a fill w/ gel and pedicure. Both were fairly priced and done extremely well. It's safe to say I think I've found my spot and will continue coming to them in the future.

    Wanted to like this place based on reviews. Staff was nice but the outcome wasn't what I expected. Went in for a pedicure and manicure for my wedding. Pedicure was okay, nothing great. I honestly do better pedicures on myself but I wanted to be pampered that day. The lady doing the pedicure was pretty rough and did cut me a few times with the file. My gel manicure was applied beautifully, but the color changed within less than a week! It went from pink to a muted peach color with discoloration on the tips. Not cute, I had to take them off after only a week of wear. Pretty sure it was the top coat. I don't live in San Diego, but decided to come up on a whim this morning and went in as a walk in today since they advertise "walk ins welcome" on their storefront, but I was told it would be a 4 hour wait. Walk ins aren't welcome then, the sign should be modified to appointments preferred. Update: Jennie did reach out to me to apologize about the situation. Will give them another try & updated my review from 2 stars to 3 stars for the professionalism in following up.

    This is my second time coming to this salon. I found it through Yelp! I've gone to Jennie, the manager, both times. She's friendly, conversational and remembers you from previous visits! I got a French gel fill and was impressed with how well they came out! The salon is by the beach and around a few other businesses. There is street parking but you may have to drive around a bit if it's busy because parking fills up quick! One thing I would recommend for this salon is to put the prices on display for customers to view. All they have is menus with the prices on them but they're not in plain sight. A few customers, including myself, had to ask about the prices of multiple services because they were not listed when you first walk in.

    2 weeks ago I went to another nail salon and they did a very bad job. I look in yelp and found tip2toes. I made an appt with Jennie. She was very sweet the whole time. She reshape my acrylic nails and fixed everything, my nails are looking very natural and pretty. Thank you Jennie.

I got a classic mani/pedi (with gentle removal of gel nail polish to preserve my natural nails) and was there for about an hour. My nails and cuticles still look great a week later and my classic pedi is still holding strong! Parking in this area can be a bit of a challenge but that's really the only downside. I'll definitely be returning and look forward to getting to know the staff more... I'll just ride the bus down 5th to get there to avoid parking issues next time lol

I went in for a classic pedicure and asked for her to file my nails and change the color, that's it! The technician was nice so I feel bad leaving this review, but the way she removed the gel from my toes was awful! She filed it down, put acetone and let it sit for a bit. Then she proceeded to peel off the old gel and tore the corner of my nail OFF. She then proceeded to say I had thin nails! I've been getting gel pedicures for a while now and NEVER has anyone tore a piece of my nail OFF! As a technician, even if my nail was thin she could of used a machine to remove the gel instead of tearing it off the way she did. I was so upset! She tried to tell me she would add a piece, which I declined so I just told her to cut what she could without leaving my nail too short. I will never return here. Maybe some folks like this method of removal but I did not and will not be returning for a pedicure. I will add the chairs were comfortable and I also got a gel manicure which he added so many layers too! There was one lady too that came by and was just talking to the technician who did my nails and the vibe just felt uncomfortable! I will never return!
