If you are coming to this location see Lihn! She does my gel x extensions and refills every 2-3 weeks and she is great at what she does! I don't do any type of nail art I keep my nails simple for work purposes. She is very precise with the shape of each nail and they are always perfect! I always request short almond ombré nails. She helps me pick the correct colors with the inspiration pictures I bring her and she is very sweet! read more

Came to get a mani and pedi with regular polish. Left disappointed in the service. Annie did my "Deluxe" pedicure and Kathy did my Manicure. The pedicure was decent, the polish looks decent and the service was just ok. I could have definitely stuck to the most basic pedicure instead. The manicure is where the biggest disappointment is. The clean up and shaping was ok, felt rushed but ok. The polish on the other hand, I could have done a better job at home myself. The polish is like a big glob and thick, there are parts of the nail missing polish. The coats of color or clear coat are not uneven. The color clean up was not done well. It's been over an hour and the polish is still not fully dry because it's so thick. I am taking this off and just doing my own polish at home. Overall there is lack of attention to detail and it felt like a rushed service. I wanted to take some time to treat myself but was left sadly disappointed. read more

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!!! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

they are very rude, very unprofessional, over priced, nails messed up do not go here at all to either locations. i thought i found the best nail salon in san diego but this is truly the absolutely the worst nail salon ever read more

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 read more

Twinkle Nails & Spa 2 is a cute and inviting place, and my family and I booked three pedicures for 4:30 p.m. Two of us were able to start right on time, but unfortunately the third had to wait almost a half hour because one of the technicians had gone home sick. To their credit, the salon gave me 10% off my service since mine was the one delayed, which I appreciated. We decided to upgrade our services to one of their more luxurious pedicures, hoping for a relaxing and consistent experience across the board. Sadly, there wasn't much consistency, as each of our pedicures was done differently even though we had all paid for the exact same upgrade. From the techniques used to the amount of time spent, the services felt uneven and didn't match the price we paid. My personal experience was even more disappointing because my pedicure not only started 30 minutes late due to the staff shortage, but it was also completed in just a half hour. Meanwhile, the other two pedicures took a full hour, which is what I expected when paying for an upgraded service. It left me feeling rushed and shortchanged, even though I paid for the same treatment as my family members. On a positive note, the staff were very friendly and welcoming, which I appreciated. However, the lack of consistency in the services and the shortened experience for me means I won't be returning. At the end of the day, a salon should deliver the same quality and care to each customer, especially when they are paying for the same upgraded treatment. read more

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! read more

Horrible, I will never go to their salon again , I made an appointment for 6 pm on their website and then i got a call that the person who was gonna do my nails is not available, and then they ask me to come earlier than my original appointment with a new nail tech and I said okay ... they call me back again hours later and tell me the person who was gonna do my nails left . I just wasted my time when I could have been looking for a new salon at 2 pm . I had already pre paid my uber twice for my appointment, not only they made it an inconvenience but I had to waste money I could have saved . read more

I've been a loyal customer of their original location for a while now, so when I heard they opened a second shop, I had to check it out and I'm so glad I did! The new space is absolutely beautiful. It's bigger, has a relaxing, spa-like atmosphere, and you can tell they put so much thought into every detail. The team here is just as welcoming and kind as the first location - warm, professional, and always making sure you're comfortable and happy with the service. The quality of their work is just as amazing. They consistently do an incredible job with my nails - every time I leave, I feel pampered and polished. Highly recommend checking out this new spot if you're in the area. read more

Twinkle Nails & Spa 2 - French tip done by Brian (the owner) - Waxing Near Me - San Diego, California

I had a very uncomfortable experience here. I booked an appointment with Brian, but during my service he suddenly started using my hands for training with about five other staff members. He only asked for my permission after they were already gathered around me, so I felt I had no choice but to agree. Several staff members took my hands without saying a word, checked them, and walked away without explaining anything -- this happened multiple times. The technician I booked kept leaving my seat to watch other staff train, which made me wait several times during my appointment. Overall, the service felt unprofessional and very uncomfortable. read more

Love love love this place! I have been a loyal client since the beginning of time. Twinkle nail spa is CLEAN professional and so talented. I highly recommend them. When I'm there I feel very well taken care of. They always listen to my needs and fully deliver. Best place for nails! Hands down! read more

5 stars I took my mom and my two kids to Twinkle Nails & Spa for Mother's Day, and we had such a great experience! Brian, the owner, welcomed us with a warm smile. Even though the salon was super busy, they still managed to accommodate us as walk-ins, which we really appreciated. Brian did my mom's nails, and she absolutely loved them. The best part was that he spoke our language and kept her company the entire time, which made her feel so comfortable and special. My kids also loved their nails--they were so happy! The entire staff was wonderful, friendly, and made us feel very welcome. We'll definitely be back to this cute nail salon. Highly recommend! read more

My sister did her nails here, overall they were friendly BUT some technicians are amazing and others are not. Tony did her pedicure which looked great and he was super fast - overall 5/5 Her manicure was done my another technician and she was not skilled. She didn't cover the whole nail, tore up her cuticles, and the polish was lumpy. read more

I've been going to Brian for a while now, and I couldn't be more excited that he's opened up his second location! He's truly the kindest person--every time I walk through the door, I feel like I'm coming home. His new space is not only beautiful but also gives off that "treat-yourself" vibe. You're seriously treated like royalty from start to finish. Jessie is my go-to for nails and she always nails it--but honestly, everyone there is amazing. The whole team is friendly, professional, and makes sure you leave feeling your absolute best. If you're looking for a salon that's consistent, welcoming, and top-quality, this is your spot. read more

As a long time North Parker, I can say hands down Brians businesses have been the best nail salons I have frequented in the neighborhood. Brian creates a warm atmosphere welcoming clients like old friends sharing in community while offering top quality services. Who he brings in to his team are equally as kind and are talented in their own right. I have received pedicures, manicures, gel nails, dip powder nails and Gel X services. I have been delighted each time and look forward to continuing to visit the new location. The ambiance at Twinkle Nails 2 is relaxing, warm and modern. The area is big and in the heart of North Park just across the street from Urbn Pizza on University. The first location on Adams St is always busy but the quality of service and work remains steadfast. Check this location out and support this wonderful local business. Ill be sharing with family and friends. read more
