I came here because I was growing out a poorly done dip set. I showed stephanie my nails and what I hated about them. I wish I took a before and after picture to show you the amazing difference. I have fairly large hands and not very delicate so I am super picky about my nails. I always ask them to do a natural look as much as possible and I think Stephanie did exactly that! She convinced me to try almond which I didn't want initially because I've had terrible experiences with it being shaped crooked and ugly, but I gave it a shot and don't regret it! Oh I also got a pedicure with hot stone massage which felt amazing! read more

Valley Nails - Dip fill with chrome finish by Stephanie - Nail Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

To preface what I will say, I have NEVER committed to a specific nail tech because I haven't had that experience with someone understanding how I like my nails done. With that being said, this is the first time. Stephanie is the best of the situation; she has a great personality and great ability to understand what you are looking for. It sounds simple but I have never found it in my experience! This will be my go-to now AND they have plenty of dip-powder colors, so that makes me glad. read more

Valley Nails - Dip Powder on Natural Nails by Stephanie - Nail Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

This is the only place I'll go to get my nails done. I've been going to Stephanie forever and her nail art gets better every time! Tina and Holly also do a fantastic job trying to get every last detail of the photo I show them onto my nails. They've always got fun music going and have an all around great vibe in the shop. Absolutely love this place! read more

Great place that always has decent availability. I don't go to anyone specific but so far everyone that has worked on my nails has done a great job. I never get anything too intricate or complicated so I can't speak to those kind of designs but I've had a gel mani pedi and dip powder with cat eye polish. Satisfied with all. read more

This place is amazing. I have been coming here for the last 6 years and. I'm never disappointed. I always see Stephanie for my nails. Her free hand art is always surprising and if you show her a picture she matches it and puts her own twist. I go to Lisa for my toes. She takes her time and gives you what you pay for. Highly recommended read more

I have been going to this place for years, I finally decided to write a review. I love the creativity and the flexibility of Viola. She often takes my ideas and makes it more beautiful than what I had in mind. This week was no different. I did have one concern where I did not like the new range of gel products. I am a huge fan of designs, I do pay the extra money for my nails to be beautiful, so I expect it to last. After my last manicure, the designs were rubbing off after a week and the polish was lifting off my nails. This has never happened in 4 years. I voiced my concern, this time I got my nails dipped. Viola was very careful and attentive. The results are gorgeous. This is probably my favorite design in all the years I have done my nails. Please ask for Viola when you get your nails done, she is amazingly creative and artistic. read more

Loving the NEW setup at the salon! It's chic, clean, and comfy! My usual ladies are Viola, for my manicures, and Kelly and/or Jessica, for my pedicures. These 3 are AMAZING! Viola is a perfectionist when it comes to her work! She makes sure she takes her time and makes every design so unique in its own way! Master Crafter right here!!! Kelly is very gentle and makes every pedicure so relaxing and comfortable, to "your liking." She's the sweetest! Jessica, (she's mainly my mom's Nail Lady lol), but it's always a treat when I get my nails done by her. Cause she pretty much knows my whole family, so she makes the trip so personable :) Highly recommend "Valley Nails"! I know they're doing a special, so go in before it ends soon!

They do a great job but making an appointment is pointless. I made an appointment time and when I came in they did not have me scheduled. They asked if I could come back. I went to Vons and when I was heading back I could tell they were not going to be ready for me. I called the nail salon around the corner and was able to get In Right away. The only times I've been able to get my nails done here is during the week at random times but if you have a regular 9-5 job you probably won't be able to get your nails done here as they don't seem to write appointment names down. 3 stars because they really do do a great job on your nails read more

Very clean and comfortable. Nice friendly staff. This will be my go to nail salon in the area! Viola was good, she took her time with cuticle clean and knows what she's doing and her nail art came out better then the picture I showed her. The only thing that might need improvement is putting on polish, it's uneven coat and some nails are thicker then others. Hence only 4*. read more

Went in for a gel manicure on a busy Saturday morning and they were still able to start working on my nails in a timely manner. Didn't have any set plans for shape/design but Stephany suggested trying out an almond-shape and doing chrome. Absolutely love my nails and can't wait to come back for a refresh in a few weeks! Valley Nails is my go-to!! read more

Shout to Daisy for absolutely killing it with such a beautiful set of acrylic gel nails every time! I stumbled across this place after moving, and I am so grateful that I did. All of the people in this salon are incredibly kind and make the experience relaxing. I always feel taken care of and heard when I walk into this salon. The prices are very fair ($40 for the blue set and $50 for the hombre set), and the quality of the nails is solid! Daisy is an absolute angel that takes her time and makes sure that I am always satisfied. I've had pedicures here too, and the hot stone massage package is definitely worth it. Every time I've gotten my nails done the nails have lasted for a long time while still looking new and fresh. Do yourself a favor and stop by! Ask for Daisy if you're getting acrylics, but all of the ladies in there do a fantastic job. read more

I've been coming to Valley Nails since the start of this pandemic. Not only are they cautious and clean, they are also very careful and gentle when working with their customers. They are friendly and engage well with everyone and have such superb customer service. I was short on cash once and Tina still offered to wax my eyebrows after doing my nails. She said I could pay her back the next visit. That's amazing trust on the business end to a customer. I also came in for an appointment with Stephanie and realized I was on a time crunch and couldn't continue her service. But she was so kind and understanding and told me I could come back in later that day. These sisters in the shop are amazing and I'm so glad I found a nail salon that excels in all areas. read more

First time coming here and will definitely be coming back!!! I got a gel fill for $33 by Tina and she did an amazing job!! They offered me free water (i think they also had a choice of soda too) which made me feel welcome! The shop itself is beautiful and clean and their selection of nail polish and colors were top quality!! Love the service! I really recommend this shop! Best nails in Mira Mesa hands down!! Update: I always get acrylics but needed to give my nails a break so Tina recommended doing Dip powder instead (color selection just as good for dip as it was for gel) my real nails never looked so good so beautiful and healthy! thank you! read more

Tina was great. She is derail oriented and the price Was only $45. I had powder nails done at a different salon in a different town 2 weeks prior. I had to get them redone for my next photoshoot. Tina added a layer to my preexisting powder nail opposed to putting new ones on since they were still relatively fresh. The entire appointment took 1hour. It was my first time at this salon but I'll go back here again read more

Valley Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

Have nothing but great things to say about this place. I'm a licensed manicurist. For years, I never had a go to nail salon. Valley nails never let me down. From experience, I've learned to never request for a specific person when you're new to a shop. Each time I've came into this salon I've had a different person. They've all been good! I'm picky with my pedicures and manicures due to crazy cuticles, however this place took care of it all! No matter who you get, they're all experienced. Just got a manicure today and it's on point!! Most salons don't cut all my cuticles how I like. This place did without me sayings anything. Absolutely satisfied!! read more

The service is always phenomenal and they treat their customers very well. If I go to a diff nail shop I feel like I'm cheating on them, so this is the place to be for your nails:) read more

This place is great! I didn't really know what I wanted before coming in, all I knew was that I wanted acrylics. Stephanie picked a great color/design and did a amazing job.

Valley Nails - Crome nails, sorry they're growing out but still shiny and beautiful! - Nail Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

My go-to nail salon in San Diego! I walked in one day and I had Stephanie do my acrylics for the first time. I had been working as a server/host/busser for the summer and they stayed intact and cute for weeks (: I loved it so much that I just had to keep coming back! Also, Stephanie is great to chat with! She really makes sure that I like what my nails look like while keeping me comfortable. Today I got teal+blue coffin-shaped dip acrylics. Both me and Stephanie loved it so much! As for everyone else in the salon, they take their time making sure you're comfortable and are getting what you want, especially if you have a request. I like that they offer free bottles of water, too. Overall, the service and results are worth the prices!! read more
