Never go wrong at Twinkle Nails 2! I'm absolutely in love with my new nails. Everyone is always so friendly, professional, and pays attention to every little detail. Such a relaxing experience and my nails turned out even better than I imagined. Highly recommend!

I had a great time at Twinkle Nails & Spa! I requested a pink & white ombré with nail extensions and they DELIVERED. I wasn't sure what service would be best for my nails because I don't get them often, but Brian suggested gel x instead of the dip w/ tips because it fit my needs best. Timmy paid close attention to my nails and typically I can feel uncomfortable or in pain when they trim my cuticles or file my nails but this experience was painless and very relaxing. The salon is ADORABLE. Very new and modern. There's street parking available which is nice! I ended up paying $90 for gel x w/ the ombré & it was well worth it. I also have very crooked fingers and sometimes when I get extensions they place them so they don't fit my natural finger shape but they look INCREDIBLE here!!!

This was my first time here! Found this place by walking by one day. Came on a Friday around 11am and called about 30 mins before for an appointment. The gentlemen on the phone were very kind and they took me in right away with enthusiasm. I got a gel deluxe gel pedicure. This place is a cute nail spot in the heart of North Park. Aida did a great job. Pedicure chairs were comfy. I came here since I didn't feel like going to a mega busy stressful nail salon. This place was definitely more relaxing compared to other nail salons. Music was still a little loud it was very bright in there (but that's just me I prefer more dimmer lights/lower music) but that's hard to find in a nail salon. They have a wide variety of colors, (I did butter yellow). Prices were fair. Staff were kind, caring, and provided great customer service. I would come again. I'm currently on a manicure break but would definitely come again. They had charms for display and the girl across me was getting a design done. I'll likely update my review after coming more/getting a manicure :) They do dip nails, gel, gel x, acrylic and also salon services like wax, lashes, brows.

Uneven. So thick.

I normally don't leave reviews but this was such a bad experience. I came in for hard gel and it took three hours. The tech kept talking to her coworkers and every time she would talk to her, she would stop doing my nails. She spent almost 10 minutes per NAIL filing them and it took forever. And to top it off, i asked for thin white French and these are SO thick. I would've asked to redo it but since it took three hours I just paid and left. So disappointed.

Terrible acrylics less than 8 days two are off

I wanted to like this place. People are nice. It's so rundown and when they asked if I wanted a water I said sure and they brought me a cup with a huge stain of lipstick on it. I spent 80 for these nails on March 6th and I have lost three and a huge chip in one. I do not recommend. Poor quality and poor service. Nice people but sheesh huge waste of my money.

Organic signature pedicure

I got the organic signature pedicure, which did not disappoint! I was running a few minutes late (trying to find parking in North Park on a Saturday), but the staff members were all very welcoming and kind from the moment I walked in. Tom took his time with each part of the service. I had such a relaxing experience, and my toes looked beautiful!

the lady did sooo good on my nails but they were 70$?? I don't even pay that for long acrylic sets ..
Ray L.

My nails came out super cuteee I'm satisfied but what threw me off is that they charged me 70$ it's kinda comical .. I don't even get charged for a long acrylic nails when I get my nails done. It's just crazy to me that chopped chops think charging $70 for the shortest set is valid... This is why shops like this are going out of business. :// 70$ is crazy for these

North park

Brian and Kathy are the best--seriously my go-to from now on. I've tried so many different nail salons in San Diego, and this one is by far the best service I've ever gotten. The place is clean, the staff is friendly, and they take their time to make sure everything looks perfect. My nails came out beautiful and the overall experience was smooth from start to finish. I'll be back again and again.

Gorgeous vibe!

Super excited to try out the new location with Twinkle Nails. Brian and his team are so warm and inviting - making you feel like family. I had a great pedicure with Timmy. Amazing gem here in San Diego

I've been coming to Twinkle Nails for over a year now, and I seriously can't say enough good things. Brian, the owner, is such an amazing person he goes out of his way to make sure everyone has a great experience. I used to go to their Adams Ave location, but this one on University is closer to my house. The salon itself is beautiful, so aesthetically pleasing and super comfortable. It's the kind of place you actually want to spend time in. The staff here are awesome. They're always willing to make anything work and take the time to really listen to what you want. I've never felt rushed, and they pay so much attention to detail. My nails always come out exactly how I pictured them, sometimes even better! Plus they last forever, which is such a game changer. Honestly, I'm just so impressed every single time I come in. This place has been my go-to for a reason!

Friendly, inexpensive spot for a mommy and me mani pedi. Total bill came out to $70, which is a good deal less than other places nearby.

I got a Brazilian and DJ was amazing 10/10! It was a great experience this time around. DJ made me…read morefeel comfortable, ensured the temps fire of the wax was good for me and we had a good conversation which made the vibe even better. The front desk was helpful especially while I was waiting she did not forget about me (I checked in early).

I think I'm finally done with this place after several terrible waxes in a row…read more I always say to please keep my brows naturally thick and when I leave, my eyebrows are always weirdly thin and not shaped like anyone currently wears their brows. I have the 90s cigarette mom brows now! It looks awful on my face. The past couple of times I've also had waxers who wax over the same brow area 2-3 times and it wrecks my sensitive skin. I'm no expert but I know this is a no-no for your skin. My last visit the waxer was complaining the entire time about the other waxers and how dirty they left the rooms (yikes?) This visit my waxer was very nice, I just don't like the results. They've also started such aggressive upselling even after you say no. Last time the front desk lady was literally so rude to me after I said I wanted to wait to rebook. This time at least it was a different lady and she was nice but 3-4 different offers after I say no is a lot. $36 for brows I just gotta wait to grow out again right before the holidays is a lot. I'm headed back to Elixir I guess -- also expensive and slower service and more chatty which isn't my fave, but I feel like my brows look okay when I leave.
