    Had to make last minute mani apt due to gel polish coming off and didn't want to sit in traffic to go to my regular salon. This place was a good alternative, conveniently located inside Mira Mesa Mall. Lisa was my tech, she's patient, not really rushed, but was cutting it close to ripping the side of my thumb when she was filing too fast. No bumps or bubbles on CATEYE polish, so I guess that's good! My backup or plan B salon.

    This was my first time at valley nails, I think her name was Tina but she did my manicure and I absolutely love what she did! The nail art and the cute little stickers made my nails look so cute! I would definitely come again and request her to do my nails. The environment of the place is also really nice everyone is so nice and welcoming.

    I've been going here for the past 5 years and still getting my nails done here even though I live in Chula Vista. I love Getting my nails done with Stephany. I started off with conservative style nails to fun designs. Once you walk in you are greeted with a hello and they call you by your name. Which is very welcoming. Once you find a great nail lady who know your style you stay with here which I have. Thank you Stephany for always making me feel welcomed and have the best nail designs.

    I've been doing my nails at Valley Nails for over 5 years now and I absolutely love the service and the atmosphere! Their prices are reasonable and their services is exceptional ! I've tried other nail salons around the area or in other places when I haven't been able to get in with them due to needing a last minute appointment but I always come back here. I recommend this place to everyone I know and have had friends that visit from out of town fall in love and talk about wanting to come back when they visit next ! 100/10 would recommend

    Stephanie is the first nail technician I've come across who truly has a passion for what she does. She is always taking extra time and effort to ensure that my nails are up to her standards. She's also very creative, so I tend to leave the artistic ideas up to her imagination. :) I'm so glad I found Stephanie because now she's the only person I go to for my nails. Thanks to her, I get compliments on my nails everywhere I go. Not to mention, she does a great job at doing her best to preserve the integrity of my real nails as they are not acrylic. Thanks, Stephanie! Side note: my nails in the photo are about a week old and they're lasting so well!

    I've been going to Valley Nails for a while now and couldn't be happier with their services! Holly is my go to for nails, and she does an incredible job at recreating any designs I show her. For pedicures, Lisa is amazing--she really digs in deep and makes sure my feet feel brand new every time. Even when Holly or Lisa aren't available, all the other ladies at Valley Nails are fantastic as well! I used to go to Tori Nails, but Valley Nails has won me over with their fair pricing, exceptional service, and friendly staff! Highly recommend!!!

    Red almond nails by Stephanie! So pretty

    Stephanie and Kathy are great!!! Stephanie did my red acrylics perfect for the fall season. I love the almond shape and color. I've been coming to Valley Nails for years and love it here. Everyone is so welcoming and nice, and they offer complimentary water and drinks. Very clean and organized space too. Perfect for having a self-care relaxation day. Thank you again Stephanie and Kathy, see you guys again soon!!!

    I decided to cheat on the place I usually go to because my last two pedis weren't as great as before. I brought my daughter and sister in law for mani pedis. It's my daughter's 10th birthday and she has a wonderful experience. Usually my daughter doesn't let me cut her nails, but she was comfortable here and got a beautiful style on her nails. My sister in law us usually doesn't get mani/pedis but even she was impressed with hers. I got a full acrylic set with a pedi. Stephanie understood immediately that I don't like it to be really long but not thick. I haven't had a great set in a long time. I'm so happy with the experience I will definitely go again.

    Stephanie did a fantastic job on my pride nails! I really appreciate her attention to detail.

    Brazilian waxing experience with Shardonnay 0/10. I scheduled an appointment with Shardonnay for…read morethe first time because I'm new at San Diego. I read about her before booking the appointment and it said she was the employee with the most time in the company. However, her attitude was tremendously horrible. I have to clarify that I arrived on time to the place, but the girl at the lobby was attending another client and was giving her a full introduction about all the packages and promotions they have, and afterwards she proceeded to charge her for the service she had taken. The receptionist took around five to six minutes doing it, until I had to interrupt her and tell her that I had an appointment at 5:30 pm with Shardonnay. It is at that moment that she notified Shardonnay of my arrival. When Shardonnay received me, she had an extremely negative attitude with me, since from the moment she greeted me, she did not allow me to go to the bathroom (which I needed) and started giving me a lecture about punctuality, without even asking me or asking herself or asking receptionist girl, if I had arrived late or if something had happened at the reception. It was to the point that she was not even able to greet me, but very frustrated about her tight schedule, she basically started scolding me and telling me that the service was not going to be the best because she only had 8 minutes to attend me since she had another client after me and that I "had arrived late"... Now, it is important to clarify that if that had been the case, the place policies give a 8-minute window to the client to arrive and still receive a good service. However, she kept saying that the service wouldn't be the best. At first I stayed quiet, but after she kept literally blaming and scolding me, I told her to do her job, but that I did not agree with her attitude, cause of course she had a very bad attitude cause of her frustration. She kept arguing and arguing until I literally had to tell her "just do your job". Very shamelessly she tried not to attend me because she now felt that I was angry, thing that I did not allow her to do because I did not drive from Chula Vista to Miramar, 30 minutes, for her to cancel my appointment just because she was in a bad mood. I sat down and took my service. She did a Brazilian service in 5 minutes. It hurt a lot, of course, because she was already upset and also in a rush, so she was very rough when pulling the wax. Afterwards she realized her mistake and started apologized, to which I literally responded that she didn't have to, what she did was already done. I only made her aware that I arrived on time, the receptionist took time attending another client, and I paid the price for it. So she can keep the apologies and that for next time she learn the lesson and at least she can greet and say what she have to say in a proper way. Would I go back? ABSOLUTELY NO, and especially not with her. She may have been working there for many years, but her service and customer attention is THE WORST. She could have gained a loyal client, but because of her rudeness she did not.

All three times they ended the massage with 5 minutes left, and all three times they spent 95% of the time on a single general area while only spending a few minutes on the rest of my body. The massage quality itself was decent, but nothing special, especially for the price, and there was too much chiropractic-type work with the "strong hands" massage which should have been sports massage like it claimed, but it was not. The head rest on the tables is also angled downwards slightly for some reason, which makes it so your neck ends up supporting your head more than the head rest does. Nice decor and the place looks high quality, clean, especially the bathroom with a literal full makeup vanity table inside of it, but that doesn't make up for the high prices without the quality or consistency (or actually listening to the customer) to back it up. For all I know, the spa treatments may be great, but this review is about the massages... ...and their review practices, which is probably why this page is flooded with 5-star reviews. They'll text you multiple times, asking for you to review them if you give them your phone number, until you do; they'll also ask this right after you get your massage too. I feel like there was a sign saying you'd even get a discount if you did, but I can't remember for sure. So if you're wondering why there's so many 5-star reviews... Finally, for some reason, their youtube channel has some weird AI massage cartoons on it, so that's further points docked.
