    Although the lady who did my nails was super nice, and service was good. My nails do not look as good. Inside is dark so you can't see and once you go outside you can. The place wear my nail is shows above my tips. If you go here I recommend that you ask them to hold on and step outside and look at your nails before agreeing. Glue was left on my fingers needing me to peel them off and the shape of each nail is not identical to the opposite hand.

    This All Ann's work!

    I have been searching for a nail salon close to home when a friend recommended Ann at Valley Nail Place. Ann recently took over this salon within the last month. She has spent the last ten years in Del Mar doing nails and knows her stuff. You definitely will not be disappointed. Just past the ampm, across the street from Target. They have a private parking lot and entrance located conveniently in back. Give her a call to set up your next appointment. The prices are spectacular and her work is phenomenal.

    Ann always takes extra care to make sure I'm happy with my nails. I've been to other places where they seem to rush thru the process, but not here. She'll spend an hour (or even more) just to perfect my nails to exactly how I like them My fills always look great for weeks and they don't ever lift or break. So glad I found this little place, it's my go to shop for sure in El Cajon!

    Great service Kate Is so sweet . The salon is clean . I liked it . For sure going back

    My nails look terrible. He rushed the process and was not very friendly.

    This was my first and last time at this nail salon. The guy who did my manicure was not friendly and seemed eager to hurry and finish my nails. He rushed the entire process and my nails look terrible. The one nice thing about the nail salon was the woman who did my pedicure. She was friendly and didn't rush at all. I will not be going here ever again. The quality was terrible.

    Ann is so talented and a wonderful lady, thank you

    Ok, I have been coming here on and off since the 90's. Ann has recently taken over this salon and the place is getting an uplift. It has always been extremely clean, but the paint etc is a welcome change.and let me just say the the Ann is a gem. I am pretty darned picky and she is by far the best I have ever encountered and I am in my late 40's. My daughter comes here as well for Stiletto nails and they do a great job. I highly recommend that you check them out, you will not be disappointed.

    Such a great nail place. Everyone is so kind, cute and hilarious! Nothing but laughter and a good time while I was getting my nails done! You will be surprised with the prices that they have! Soo good! And I am so happy with the way my nails came out!

    I love my nails!!! Defenitly going back! Ann is great
    Karla A.

    I got my nails done by Ann she is amazing! Defenitly going back!!! She paid alot of attention. She made sure the length was what i wanted. Was great with the color!

    Christina F.

    Let me start out by saying that I am very picky about my nails and if they don't look good or start to left/break in between fills, I won't go back. This isn't the case with Ann. She does an awesome job at listening and getting them right the first time. I won't let anyone do my nails but Ann!

    Mayra E.

    Ann love her job, she is very sweet and do always a great job on my nails. Good services and price are fair. Highly recommend

    I just wanna say that this is my first time here and sadly I won't be coming back (unless I find…read moreanother nail tech artist who actually listens to my needs). I only went to this place because I heard good reviews as well as it's the closest to my home. So I walked in having high hopes, and I even brought up a reference picture. After checking in for my appointment for a gel-x fill, I went to go see my nail tech and I went to say hello but she didn't say hello back. Whatever. So then I showed her my reference photo and I want all white. Now I understand if I couldn't see the flowers if it's the same white nail color, which is why she suggested a different color that I didn't even ask. Not even like a white purple/blue color just so we can see the flowers better. Also, I know I should've spoken up more, which I had three times that I want to be a classic white French tip with daisies. But she insisted on using a shade of purple that I didn't even ask for. But not only that, but I feel like she couldn't speak English fluently because half of the time she was speaking to me in full Vietnamese, which I had a hard time communicating. I honestly felt a bit peer pressure to have a nail design that I didn't exactly ask for and that's what I'm very disappointed in. When my nails were done, she then prompted me to go wash my hands, but never told me where it's at or didn't even point where the sink was so I had to ask another employee to find the sink. Now I don't mind the nails design itself if it was done better, even though I have spent $65 on it and honestly during the whole appointment I kind of felt uncomfortable even though I did speak up, but just not enough then I should have, but it also doesn't look like the picture I wanted it. I'm pretty disappointed with my appointment and I will not be coming back unless I have another nail tech who I'm pretty sure will do my nails more nicely design wise. This is why communication is very important during any nail appointment and I thought I have communicated my needs, but I guess it wasn't enough to the point where I was peer pressured to do a nail design that I don't even want.

It's a bit more old-fashioned - instead of folders of colors to choose, you select from their wall of polishes, many of which looked old. They have lots of well-worn towels and mismatched decor, so it looks a little rundown. But the ladies were nice and efficient. I went with my teenage daughter who doesn't prefer cutting her cuticles, which they respected. But then didn't offer any massage or scrubs for her either, which I was surprised by. The lady who did my pedicure offered a really great massage and scrub. Overall, it's a great time if you're looking to save on the experience and lower your expectations compared to other salons. I'm not a fancy nail person and don't use gel polish, so I like it for what I'm looking for. Will be back!

    I had a really disappointing experience at this salon. I arrived at 5:40 PM for a full set of…read moreacrylic nails and did not leave until 8:30 PM, which is an excessive amount of time for such poor results. The technician working on my nails was not focused on her work. She spent most of the appointment talking and joking instead of paying attention, which led to multiple issues. While applying the nails, they kept falling off because they were not being glued properly. I pointed this out several times, but my concerns were dismissed and not taken seriously. When she moved on to the design, the work became even worse. The nails were crooked, uneven, and messy. Eventually, another staff member had to step in and redo everything from scratch. This meant removing all the gel with a drill and starting over, which made the already long appointment even more frustrating. At the same time, I was also getting a pedicure, and that experience was just as bad. The technician did not understand what I was asking for. I repeatedly requested a simple French style, but she kept doing something completely different. I had to ask her two times to redo. It was clear there was a lack of communication. This is not my first time getting acrylics, so I know what to expect. A full set, even with a French design, should not take this long. At other salons, my nails usually last three to four weeks without any issues. Here, the quality was clearly not the same. When it came time to pay, I expressed that I did not feel the service deserved full price given everything that went wrong. Instead of acknowledging the situation, they only offered a 10% discount after I had to ask for it myself. The staff seemed annoyed that I even brought it up, and there was no real apology for the experience. Considering the time, the quality, and the inconvenience, I expected a much more reasonable adjustment. To make matters worse, only two days later, one of my nails has already fallen off with no effort. I got my nails done for an upcoming trip, and now I am leaving with broken nails, which is incredibly frustrating. The place had a lot of potential. They even offer two complimentary drinks, which initially made the experience feel more exciting. However, good perks do not make up for poor service, long wait times, and low-quality work. If the results had been better, I would have come back, but after this experience, I will not be returning. Overall, this is not a place I would trust if you are looking for quality work. I would not recommend this salon.

Lina had a great solution and did an amazing job matching it with an acrylic extension--you can't even tell in the photo. That said, if you're in a similar situation, I'd recommend asking for Gel-X instead of acrylic. The acrylic ended up feeling loose and didn't hold well, so I had to come back before leaving for a trip. To their credit, Sunny Nails squeezed me in the very next day. Another technician quickly assessed the issue, removed the acrylic, and replaced it with Gel-X (a full, strong nail--not just a tip). The result was flawless--she shaped it beautifully, and I was able to enjoy my trip with perfect nails. The only downside was the experience during the fix. The technician seemed frustrated, didn't respond to my thank you, and abruptly turned off the blue light and walked away without acknowledgment. It felt a bit uncomfortable--especially since I had already paid extra for the initial service and had to come back. Overall, they made it right, and I appreciate the quality of the final result--just wish the customer experience during the correction matched it.
