Love this place so much I drive all the way from Carlsbad because Kayla is that good! The attention to detail is unmatched! They have the most beautiful selection of colors. Love their music playlist. Pedicure massage chairs are so comfy! Highly recommended read more

UME Nail Lounge - Nail Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

Update: I went back after the owner kindly responded to my review, messaged me and called me on Sunday. I showed up late and had to reschedule due to getting a little busy with life but she was very understanding and made it all right. After filing down the nails it was very clear that almost my whole left hand was definitely lifting. She took off the old nails and did a full new set. They look amazing and I will definitely be going back just waiting to see how they last! But 10/10 for shape and overall look. Came here to say after only 3 days a few of my nails are already lifting one is about half way off. Pretty disappointing saying that I spend about $70 to get my nails done here. I was excited after reading some reviews and having recently moved to Scripps ranch am looking for a new nails place. I would not go again. read more

I recently moved from Hawaii to San Diego and I visited a few places before I found Ume Nail Lounge. The team: Hanna, Tom, Heidi, Kayla, Tammy, Linh, and Jen at the front desk. Each and every one of them, they're just absolutely amazing, and you just feel like family. My sister-in-law introduced me to Ume and now all of my sisters and nieces are regulars. one of us is always in there. It's women-owned, which is always a plus, I definitely recommend them! If you want to try them, tell Kayla, Jen, or Hanna, Nadia referred you, and you'll get 10% off your first service. their phone# 858-348-8999 read more

UME Nail Lounge - Kayla completing my manicure. - Nail Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

Kayla is fantastic!! I'm sooo picky when it comes to my nails. She has such attention to detail, does a beautiful job with nail designs, and my nails come out consistently amazing. Never once had a lumpy nail or imperfection and she's also so incredibly sweet. The nail salon is so nice and clean as well! Love that it's not super big and overstimulating. And all great quality products as well. Can't recommend enough! read more

I just moved to the area and was in search of a new nail tech. Luckily I found UME nail lounge and for Kayla! I'm particular with the shape of my nails as well as design and having a nail check who's careful around my cuticles is a bonus! Kayla did such a wonderful job and I'm so thankful I found my new regular spot here in PQ. read more

I got gel-x and provided a reference photo! The nails look amazing! Kayla was so sweet and very gentle with my hands! The nails were cleaned up as she was doing everything so they look absolutely perfect. I'll definitely be back! read more

UME Nail Lounge - Gel-X nails with design and chrome - Nail Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

This new nail salon is fantastic. Kayla and Jin are the most amazing ladies. Beautiful nails and outstanding service all around.

This is a friendly local nail salon that also offers waxing services! I treated my boyfriend and I to mani pedis and I have mixed feelings about the results. The location itself is easy to find, has parking, and the store interior is beautiful and looks clean! We both got basic pedicures and I got a gel manicure with cat eye design (extra $10) while my boyfriend got a regular manicure with nail buff shine (extra $6). My manicure came out nice but the male nail technician didn't seem to know how to do the cat eye well--it's shiny but the reflectiveness of the cat eye is all over and isn't as 3D looking. Both my boyfriend and I thought the salon cut back at our cuticles too much. I started getting dry skin and peeling bits days after the services and my boyfriend actually has an infected toe because they cut very deep into the side of his toenail. Nails were shaped nicely but the heavy cutting of the cuticles makes me not want to return. Regarding price, I think they have the best prices around and are reasonable for the services! If you pay cash, you also get a discount. Overall, relaxing experience with friendly staff but the aftermath was not great. I would recommend telling them to push back on your cuticles but not cut them too much. read more

Sadly, just a few months after our owning and remodeling, they sold again. The new owner is not very customer friendly. While in the middle of having my nails done, she started speaking loudly too my technician telling her basically that she needed to hurry because there was a new customer who just called in and wanted their nails done. The prices never are the same to visit in a row, as well as the quality of work has suffered significantly as they are told to rush. Definitely will not ever be going back read more

The salon itself seemed clean and the tools they used seemed clean too so that's a plus. The actual customer service was ok too, but the end outcome was just ok. I haven't been to a nail salon in forever and I know prices have gone up but $114 (it was $110 but they charge for using a card) for gel manicure and pedicure is kinda a lot. I did get a little flower design and French tip but still. My technician really struggled with my flower design. I got the inspiration picture from this yelp page. After her 3rd try I told her to do whatever you feel comfortable with. If you're getting something basic then give this place a try but if you want something fancy I don't think this is the place. read more

Had a great experience at Ume Nail, loved the staff and the vibe! I was visiting out of town and booked an appointment for a pedicure and an eyebrow wax. Not only did Angela give me a great pedicure, she also fixed one of my nails for me that tore off during TSA! The woman who did my eyebrow wax (I forgot to grab her name) was so lovely and the overall atmosphere was really warm and welcoming. Definitely recommend! read more

I have been here three times now for pedicures and the service has been stellar every time! My tech was friendly, respectful, and more than competent.

Added perk - I got 10% off as they have a grand opening special right now! read more

I drive a distance to go here. It's worth it, trust me. They nail the basics - the salon is clean and bright, they honor appointment times (you know how many places don't !) But beyond that, they actually like each other. So the vibe is relaxed and calm. They care about the work they do. Nails, toes, brows - all top notch with attention to detail. I went last week for my appointment and brought my daughter - and they accommodated her with no questions. But even more importantly to me, everyone there talked to her friends. Teens who weren't paying for any service. But the whole salon made them feel comfortable and important. read more
