[[HIGHLIGHT]]I have come here several times & was pleased with the service but this last time was a let down.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]My husband & had an appointment to get our nails done on Christmas Eve, which was surprisingly busy![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We both got gel manicures & my nails were done within 20 minutes, with a hand massage literally being her just putting lotions on my hands & arms. My husband's nails took longer & his were done so nicely! Mine still had nail polish on the skin, which I had asked her to take it off only to find out there were more spots she missed. On top of that, my nail got chipped after 5 days! Everything was just so rushed with poor quality work. read more

So I used to go to this salon when they were at their old location and started going to a different salon. On Saturday my nail salon was closed so I decided to go to Ucare at the new location, the salon itself is beautiful and the techs seem to be really friendly. I got a pedicure and a fill. The pedicure was amazing and I have no complaints on that but my fill was done bad. Within 3 days I had my pointer finger break and today had another nail break. When I first left the salon they seemed okay but when I started looking closely I noticed a lot of imperfections like one hand was not double coated with the base color so it almost looked like press on's I also noticed the French tip was kind of sloppy and my nails seemed to be crooked. The nails were also done very thin. I am so sad because I paid a lot of money and there is no reason two of my nails should be broke days after getting them done. I usually am able to wait 2-3 weeks to get my nails filled and here I basically need to go get them redone days after. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also I requested stiletto and she kept making them almond I kept telling her make them more pointy but she made them crooked when doing that[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Update: After posting this review the business owner reached out to me to sincerely apologize for my experience. While I greatly appreciate her understanding my concerns I still believe this review should serve as a reminder to customers to be very clear and communicate what you want with your nail tech. I don't think people should be afraid of coming here based off my review and experience. If you go to any nail salon make sure you tell your nail tech what you do and don't want right when you sit down in their chair. Do not stay silent. Thank you Amy for trying to correct the situation and providing good customer care. The facility was clean and the techs were nice enough. But the work was not great. I got a gel mani and pedi. My pedicure started off good until I felt the tech cut the side of my nail and yank my ingrown toe nail out without asking. My ingrown toe nails use to hurt for years until I STOPPED cutting them and they grew out naturally. Now that it's cut it's been extremely sore and swollen since. I was looking at my toe today and when I when to grab my big toe to inspect why it was hurting, puss came out! So assuming it's now infected from her pulling my toe nail out of the side... I see why it's so red and swollen. The polish job looked ok until a week later my toes have chipped. My nails were average. The paint job wasn't as close to the cuticle as I prefer but good enough. I wanted the design on two fingers matching each hand but my tech did not listen to which fingers I told her so my hands were mismatched. Unfortunately, I noticed peeling and chipping 5 days later on 3 of my nails. I spent $108 dollars and $20 in tip. My toes hurt and look terrible and my nails look even worse. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Today was my third visit, and every experience has been great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The space is kind, relaxing, and quiet. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The techs actually listen, they're observant, and they communicate well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The quality of their products is excellent too, my nails last over three weeks with no bubbling. I really love this place, and it's conveniently the first shopping center off the freeway. read more

I've been to UCare Nails a couple of times now and overall, I really enjoy coming here. The first time I went, I had such a great experience--unfortunately, I didn't get the name of the girl who did my pedicure, but she was amazing. The second time, I was helped by an older woman who did a beautiful job laying the polish on my nails--very neat and clean. The only thing that made me a bit uncomfortable was when I politely declined a more expensive pedicure option. I felt like there may have been some side conversation about it, possibly because I took my time choosing a polish color. It could be in my head, but the vibe felt a little off in that moment. My one ongoing issue is that after getting the callus removal treatment, I still notice some rough areas on my feet a couple of days later, like some spots were missed. That said, the salon is very clean, organized, and relaxing. I really like the atmosphere, and I plan to keep coming back. I just hope to receive the same thoughtful service from my first visit moving forward! read more

Really liked this salon! Very clean and had a lot of color choices. [[HIGHLIGHT]]My only reason for not 5 stars is there seemed to be a lot of kids in the back (assuming the workers kids) just being pretty loud and at times you want to relax a bit getting your nails done.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Otherwise everything was great![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We decided to try this year old salon in Esco. Service was great. The lady that did my pedicure was gentle and did a awesome job overall. Price for the classic pedi though was steep for $36. For Escondido, that is a bit much. I can name several places in different nice areas in SD that offer less for a classic pedi. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Greeted in a friendly manner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Unfortunately, the basic manicure wasn't the best. Left cuticles incomplete, three fingernails were polished in a sloppy way. Nails weren't cleaned from polish along cuticles. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Pointed it out to the lady that took care of my payment. Thought she said she would fix it, but sat down with another customer.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The lady that gave me a manicure was with another customer. She asked me to wait and she'd be with me. [[HIGHLIGHT]]After 5 minutes, I left. Didn't want to wait. Won't be returning.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

My daughter and future daughter-in-law went together to get our nails done for a girls trip. They booked here and it was our first time. What a pretty and clean salon! That's the first thing I noticed. We came at the end of the day- we had reservations. They had classical music playing which made for a peaceful vibe. Ivy did my nail dip and she was- no lie- the BEST i have ever had. She was quiet, a perfectionist, and so fast!!! I loved how she made sure my nails were smooth and not too thick. 10/10. Diane also comes highly recommended!! She did nails for us too and they were wedding ready perfect. And the sweetest ever. She was truly wonderful. I love how you can also use Zelle or Venmo for payment. Really great experience and we will be back. read more

Got french tip acrylic nails, loved them! The atmosphere was also so relaxing! My technician was also so fast!

I absolutely LOVE this place! I was hesitant since I didn't have the best experience at the other establishment down the street. I moved back to North County and have been looking for a new spot, so I figured I'd give this place a shot and I am so happy I did! I've gone back a couple times and each time it's amazing. My nails always look so good and I always get tons of compliments! Their pedicure with hot stones is my favorite!! Sooooo relaxing and it feels so good with these cold days! 100/10 !! The inside has a very clean lux aesthetic. Will be back soon. Thank you ladies! read more

I absolutely love this new establishment! I have been going to the other Ucare down the street (same owners), I really love their expertise and customer service.

I wanted to give this new salon a try (it's the same distance fr my home). The salon ambience is chic and equipped with brand new equipment including amazing massage chairs! Parking was plentiful and extremely convenient as well. I highly recommend, check it out! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a nice nail salon.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Just didn't like that I made an appointment and I still had to wait over 40 mins.

I came here to get a manicure and pedicure. The staff here were very nice. The place was very clean. I spent close to $100 on the mani and pedi and got the gel as well. After 10 days the gel started to peel however so I don't feel the cost of this was worth it. It did look nice up until it started peeling, but I feel it should have lasted longer than it did. read more

Called & was able to get in same day. Just came across them on Yelp, my nail lady I have been going to since I moved to Escondido 4 years ago moved so I had to find a new place so of course I came over to Yelp to get some help. Called them & they said they could get me in, went over waited less than 5 minutes & they got me seated. Went in for a spa mani pedi with gel on my hands. The place is super clean, a lot of techs working, everyone was really friendly. It's a nice new place & I liked the vibe. Lots of chairs so they can do a lot of people at one time. I had on girl doing my mani & another doing my pedi both did such an amazing job. I opted for one of the longer pedicures it was 1 hour & she did such a nice job. I think the pricing is fair for what you get. Will def be back. read more

Ucare Nails Bar - Nail Salons Near Me - Escondido, California

It's a new location with some of the same people, however the work is not as good as it used to be. I'm finding someone to soak off the nails I just got and paid 200$ for a mani pedi and full set acrylic. She used different tips for my nails so some are straight and some are curved like the 90's nails. I asked for something very simple and the owner also was one of the girls who worked on me. It used to be my favorite nail salon and I have gone here for what I've asked before and received. In the photos you'll see the different tips and the first photo is what I asked for and that's my hand so I know it can be done it's not a hard Pinterest picture it's a see through color and she didn't even get the color right they're like white. I still tipped because they did work hard still however I will not be returning and I'm getting my nails redone. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SPOT!! Moved down to Escondido almost a tear ago and finally stumbled across this spot a few months ago after trying out about 4 others and this place won it all! Everyone is super friendly and greet you when walking in. The vibe is definitely there! I always go to Amy the owner or Rachel! They never disappoint! I've had 2 occasions that I would like to point out. First one being I was double booked with Rachel one day and she wasn't able to accommodate. Amy stepped right in to help and took care of me in a timely fashion. A second occasion was a nail design I had gotten kind of came out funky. I was offered to go back in and have it fixed but Amy was a tad busy at the time and when I went back in for a fill next time she knocked a few dollars off my price! This place definitely knows how to keep clients happy! My go too and most recommended nail salon! read more
