Riley Ashley I have been coming to this nail salon for 3 years and every time I leave happy. Ben takes my design ideas and matches them perfectly or makes them better. He watched tutorial videos before my appointment to learn how to do the Hawaiian flowers I wanted lol. Plus I’m always picky about my French tips and he will wipe them off and start over if I’m not happy. I used to stay quiet at other nail salons and go home and cry over the imperfections. Ben makes me feel like I can speak up because he is a perfectionist too.

Charity Christie-Foster I am so pleased! Both of my nail technicians were so attentive to detail and made my nails look great! They spent a lot of time on them and didn’t rush at all, which made me feel very taken care of. It’s a little on the expensive side, but for the great service and results, it’s worth it! I will definitely be coming back here.

Gillian McDivitt May is wonderful! She always takes care of me and puts in the extra effort and detail on my nails. I work a job that is rough on my hands and since I’ve started coming to May my manicures last longer. No breaks, no lifting. I will come back to May for as long as I can!

Stephanie Nguyen My favorite nail salon! I’ve tried quite a few places but I can safely say this is the one I always go back to. Nice, clean place with very friendly staff. I never request anyone because anyone I’ve ever gotten has done a great job on my nails. I’ve gone to places with bad cuticle cuts or my polish chipping off a day later but I have consistently gotten great service here every time. I don’t live nearby this place anymore but I will make the extra drive to see them. Lots of different color options and lots of varying services for your manicure and pedicure needs. Give them a try, they won’t disappoint

Camille sulangi I had an amazing experience at Nails Paradise and Spa! The nail technician was incredibly skilled and detail-oriented, making sure my nails looked absolutely perfect. The ambiance of the salon was so relaxing—peaceful music, a clean and elegant setup, and an overall calming atmosphere that made the visit feel like a treat. What made it even more special was that they also do kids’ nails! My daughter had the best time picking out her color, and she absolutely loved her blue nails. The staff was so patient and kind with her, making it a fun and enjoyable experience. If you’re looking for a talented nail tech in a soothing and welcoming environment, this is the place to go. I’ll definitely be back!
5 /5
Sarah A. This is a no frills salon that does the job! I was in the area looking for a quick pedicure and color change to my gel manicure and found this place on Google Maps. I was able to walk in without an appointment and got my nails done by Helen. She was super kind and easy to chat with. She did both my hands and my feet. I took one star off due to lack of decor/ambience. The salon is very clean but there is very little decor. It feels very empty inside. I think they could definitely work on making the salon more inviting in terms of decor. Overall, they do a great job and are very friendly. I would definitely come back.

Perla Santamaria I went to get my nails fixed with Tania after I got a bad gelish job somewhere else. Tania was very meticulous and professional working with my nails, they looked like new in less than 1 hour. I highly recommend this place!

Jamie Whitehead I was in town visiting for a few weeks and looking for a place to get my usual dip manicure. After extensively reading through reviews, I chose Nail’s Paradise and Spa and was not disappointed! Tanya was very detailed, kind and asked several times throughout my appointment if my nails looked okay, which I really appreciated. This would be my go-to if I lived in San Diego! Keep up the great work ❤️

Caroline Nalezny Garcia My first time trying InStyle Nails and I cant believe I havent been there sooner! Lora did a fantastic job on my nails! It was my first time trying builder gel. She talked me through it and listened to what I requested and matched exactly the shape, length, and colors that I requested. We had a wonderful chat while she worked on my nails. 2 weeks later and theyve grown out beautifully. I will definitely be coming back to see Lora. :) The shop is clean and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Alexandra Schober I have been getting my nails done here for several months now and I absolutely love them every time! Mindy does such a great job. I used to do dip and acrylic but she convinced me to do building gel and I get this every time now! They always last me minimum 3 weeks and they look great. Its always easy to get in last minute too which I love. The staff is so friendly and remembers you. Their prices are also very reasonable!

Anjali Shah Our group of five visited Instyle Nail Salon for manicures and pedicures, and we were incredibly pleased with our experience. Mindy and her team exhibited exceptional efficiency, going above and beyond by opening the store early at 8:30 AM to accommodate our schedule and ensure a swift appointment. Their hospitality and friendliness made us feel incredibly welcome throughout our visit. Overall, we had a delightful time at Instyle Nail Salon and would highly recommend it for a relaxing and enjoyable nail care experience.

Callie Warner I dont leave reviews, ever... When I do, they are either really good or really bad. This place is amazing! Ive been to so many random nail salons throughout the years and Ive finally found a place that I would drive out of my SD pocket to go to. Never before... I get so many compliments from the work they do here. I see many women just watching my hands because of how pretty my nails look. Plus their prices are extremely competitive compared to others. MAKE THE DRIVE OUT HERE!

J. S. Really wish I had a more positive review to leave- I can tell the technicians are actually talented and do great work. However, the service was terrible and they ended up rushing my fill after double booking my appointment slot. Everything started out great, then about 20min in I noticed he was really rushing through and layering on the powder very unevenly. When I tried to point it out he said he would file it later, but he rushed through that too and left the nails looking uneven and thick in spots. Then I was told someone else would be taking over because he had another customer waiting. I had to wait about 10min for another tech to attend to me because she had been finishing up an intricate design on another customer’s nails. When she finally got around to me, she aggressively rushed the polish so that she could go back to her other customer and photograph the work she had done for her. The photo of my nails is only one day after getting them done. The polish is clearly uneven, and the edges and cuticles are messy. As soon as she was done she rushed off to attend to someone else. I never even had the chance to show her the dips and gaps in the polish. I just paid and left, knowing I wouldn’t come back.

varshita gara I had a great experience before hence came the second time. Manicurist was good and attentive and friendly. Johnny was for pedicure. Great massage and ok cleaning etc. does not do ingrown so you know. Very serious and not very helpful. I asked if the nails were dry and could leave… he was short and would not give a straight answer. The staff is welcoming to regular customers and not the greatest to others! I will not be coming back.

Kathy Engleman Oh my God I love this place! I get pedicures and they all do such a nice job and theyre so nice. Lately Ive been getting more expensive pedicures with lots of scrubs and masks and massage and things which are amazing, but their Classic Spa which I used to always get is great, too, and very affordable. They recently redecorated and its quite lovely. Amy was amazing today, and theyre all so great Ive never really bothered to ask for anyone in particular. Gentle but thorough, and my toes always look great. Lots of polish to choose from, and you can bring some from home if you prefer. Been coming here for at least 12 years. Its easy to make and reschedule appointments by text - very convenient. Location is great, plenty of parking. Tip generously - their margins cant be very great with the prices they charge for the amount of time they spend with you.

Avani Sawant I called on the number on the website to schedule my appointment. It was clean and friendly. I was amazed at how quick they did my fill for my acrylic nails. The nail tech was nice and gentle. She did it exactly as I wanted it. I loved my visit and I will definitely go again. UPDATE I visited a second time and I got a purple gel polish manicure. It turned out super cute. The nail tech was really nice and let me test two colors on my nail before I chose one. It’s been more than a week and they still look so fresh and good! It was $32 w/o tip. I had a good experience UPDATE- I love going here and I have found Van to be my favorite for nails. She’s amazing and so detailed!

Beatriz Aguirre Absolutely terrible experience… a second time in a row. I went there for a gel removal and regular manicure. They left my nails paper thin. The lady kept passing on and on the machine file, even after there was no trace of gel. Now I can bend my nails inwards very easily. This will take at least six months to heal. Going on to the manicure, they didn’t even bother in pushing my cuticle (or cutting it), not to mention they didn’t clean the sides of the nails by removing dead layers of skin! So more than a manicure, this was a change of colour, although I paid for a regular manicure. The lady kept saying on and on how I should get a gel, and how a regular manicure chips after a few days (well… here it chips while you’re still inside the salon)! I guess gels makes their lives easier lol But the worst part, is to witness how manicurists speak in a different language and laugh between them about the clients. Completely disrespectful and very uncomfortable. They’re all about the gossip. They were rude after I asked them to repair nails they have chipped after hitting them accidentally with their own acetone cleaning pencil. Look at the picture, this is my “manicure” after a few hours. Never again! P.S. the last time I got an expensive French gel manicure and the bottom part unattached from my nail after only 3 days. Had to remove it before Christmas…

Molly Mullaney I went to Lulu Nail’s today for the first time for a fill. I had gotten a full set elsewhere a couple weeks ago and was not happy with the results (they were way too thick, wide and short..The shape was all wrong.) So I was nervous they weren’t going to be able to fix them. Wendy was my nail tech. I showed her a picture and explained what I wanted. I’ll be honest..anytime I show a picture, they never look like it. But this time was different. Wendy gave me EXACTLY what I asked for. I’m very picky and particular. She took her time and made sure I was happy throughout the entire process. She was so sweet and patient. Her attention to detail is amazing. I will definitely be back. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience.

Anna J This was my second visit to Lulu’s- I made a same-day appointment online for a DIP service. I highly recommend booking a time because they are very popular. I was greeted warmly by the manager/owner, Lulu. I was seated close to the front desk and saw every client interaction with Lulu- She treats every person who walks in like family and listens to exactly what you want for your service and answered all questions you may have. I’ve never seen such genuine interest in clients at any other salon. I showed a few photos for inspiration- I wanted a very light pink, translucent, natural look- and Lulu spoke with my nail tech, Tammy, to decide the best products to use. Tammy did an amazing job, I have never had such good attention to detail! I left with a smile on my face because I have never had my nails look exactly like the photo I bring in. The service was $55 and I tipped in cash- you can’t add tip to the credit card purchase so bring cash with you, or they have an ATM. My first visit few weeks ago- I went in to get a broken nail fixed. The man at the front desk was very kind and called Lulu over to look at the broken nail and help decide what the best fix was. They had it repaired quickly and I was very happy with $7 for one nail. It looked great and matched the rest of my nails which I had done at another salon. Very satisfied with both visits to Lulu’s!

Juliana DeMarici This is a great salon. I wanted a change bc my regular place is just too far and I tried Lulu’s bc of the reviews. This place is well run, clean and the service is great. I normally get hard gel with a gel color. They have a great selection of OPI colors. I went to Angela. I normally only get either Dutch tulips red or a maroon. I do love this color and when I asked her what the name was, she said “it’s #64, I’ll remember when I see your nails”. Definitely planning on seeing her again! Found my new salon!

Kylee Wilhelm My first time at Lavish Nails was great! My nail tech Nam asked many questions about my preferences and he was very meticulous with each step. Lately when I get my nails done, salons will spend 2 seconds on my cuticles but this was not the case here. This will be my new go-to salon!

Deborah Shirley I went in to get a perfect manicure and spa pedicure, but ended up with a SHOODY WORK on my fingernails. I enjoy treating myself, so today, I had a couple hours to enjoy a relaxing time of pampering - I decided to drive over to Lavish. I had been there a few weeks back, and the nail technician was very nice and did my nails to my liking. I was very pleased the first time. I should have left a review, and then I would have remembered the lady by name and booked an appointment with her. I decided to try Lavish again because Its near where I live. I was a walk-in. Ohmy what a miserable mistake I made. I asked for the classic service. I felt it should be done correctly because its easy. Just Polish. No designs. Classic. The lady who guided me over to the spa chair started off really nice and pleasant. She began the services running water in the spa for my feet. Then she took my right foot, and used a little bitty tiny amount of nail polish remover, soon after that she started to use a nail drill on the top of my big toenail, then moved to the next toes fairly quickly and removed some of my top polish using different nail drill bits. I should have asked her immediately what happened to using only polish remover, and then I should have asked a follow-up question about the purpose of using a drill to remove nail polish. I waited because I tend to be very trusting, and I was thinking to myself shes the expert. It took me 2 more seconds of watching her filing off the blue nail polish and watching the nail dust shavings before I asked her about using a nail drill. When I did inquire, her reply was that it was $8.00 in addition to the classic pedicure service. "For what?"I kindly asked. Her reply was gel nail polish takes longer to remove. I was mildly upset. She told me sorry. I smilingly mentioned she should have told me beforehand. She then sold me on the cost of getting the gel again. I gave in to the upselling. I like how my pedicure turned out. But I should have been advised about the $8 before the service was started. I should have been advised to let me know the cost of everything up front, no surprises! I get a little annoyed with being told one thing and then get started only to find out theres additional cost for the services. The reason for this review is the way that my manicure looks. Im disappointed. The nail polish wasnt dry all the way when I was told that it was. She checked two fingers by rubbing them. Then she thanked me. So then I went to the front desk receptionist to pay. I gently pulled my car keys out of my loose fitting wide pocket light jacket, and my polish hadnt hardened, and it smudged. I showed my 5 ruined nails to the front desk. I was still standing there because I had just paid with my credit card. Btw, they charge an additional 3% to use a credit card. Bring cash. The front desk receptionist will tell you that the owner will only accept cash. To finish up my story on my experience... I was left sitting at the front door, getting my nails fixed. Whatever the polish was, it melted as soon as I stepped across the threshold. The smell of the polish is that of epoxy paint rather than nail polish. It smells bad. The strong smell gave me a headache. The nails, after just a couple of hours, have air bubbles and are shrinking away from my cuticles, and that isnt cute. Im hiding my hands in public because Im embarrassed to show my shoddy manicure. "$75!!! for that!!!"My husband said when he saw the credit card receipt and my manicure. He had initially thought that I watched a YouTube video and did the manicure myself to save money. Thats how bad it looks. See for yourself.

Rose Earle I went in for a fill and mani pedi added extra foot message and gel polish. $107… I give the younger lady 5stars, the pedicure was done well. My fill and manicure was a bit of a rush job and it shows in the results but if the older lady had taken her time I would have rated 5 for her as well. Polish was a little uneven and bled to my cuticles. I didn’t check her work before leaving. :/

Its so convenient since its in my neighborhood and I havent had a bad experience yet.

alyzza villarreal I have now been here 3 times and all 3 times have been amazing! First I saw Holly, then Nancy, and now Lee. All 3 were amazing at doing my acrylic fill. I just got basic gel polish the first 2 times. And now with Lee I got a design on my hand nails and she did a great job. My pedicure was amazing too. I forgot to get the ladies name but her massage was wonderful and much needed! Definitely will be coming back, as it is clean, they’re do amazing work, and they aren’t overpriced either!

Amina Emenena I really love SK Nails, but I’ve had a bad experience with one person two times here out of many great experiences and decided to share. I got my nails done on Saturday by a different nail tech than I requested. There was a mixup when I booked and my preferred tech was out. When I arrived I was placed with the tech, who I won’t name but I’ve had a bad experience with her previously. There is no way that my nails should be looking like they did. Fortunately I was able to fix them myself but I had to share this experience since it’s the second time. SK is great, just be weary of the nail tech that you work with. I didn’t feel comfortable enough calling this out while I was there unfortunately.

Glory California I didn’t know it at the time but I was the last pedicure of the night. Rosy treated me so wonderfully I wouldn’t have even known I was the latest appointment. I love that.

Tierra Stoute I love this place and have been going for a while now. But I had an interaction today that made me feel a bit uncomfortable. I’m not an aggressive person nor am I confrontational but I could not have this poor interaction go unnoticed. If you have a job that entails customer service and you say something to them but they clearly can’t hear you, you don’t need to catch an attitude and start tapping your hand on the desk right in front of the customer. It’s hostile and not professional at all in my opinion.

Jazzie Collins Got gel polished removed, no extensions, just natural nail. I asked her to not sand my actual nail, she said she wouldnt, but all of my natural nails have drill grooves + not all of the polish was even removed. I expected a soak off, not purely drilling it away. Do not come here for this service at all if you want to preserve and protect your natural nails. Otherwise, nice, clean, efficient, etc.

Camille Berry I love having my nails done at Finesse Nails. The salon is so clean, and the technicians are the best. Today I had a spa pedicure. The spa pedicure massage chairs are brand new this year, and upgraded, they warm and massage and vibrate. Most importantly, everything is lined, single use and sanitary. For pedicures, I always request my nail tech Gina. She gives the greatest pedicures. She really takes her time and focuses on every step. I am so relaxed and happy. For my nails, I get a gel manicure by Tony. He is incredible with his attention to detail and perfection in every step. He really cares about the results being exactly right. Tony is an expert at acrylics, gel nail art, and extra long nails. I have been coming here for over 2 years and it is the only place I trust to do my manicure and pedicure. The managers on duty are always very attentive. Come to Finesse Nails and experience an elevated nail salon experience.

Kathryn Matteotti Great environment, friendly staff and best of all my nails turned out so beautifully. I called and they were able to see me within 30 minutes (the time it took to drive over), she worked quickly (but did not rush me) and without lowering the quality at all (which I appreciate, my time is important). I dont think I will ever go anywhere else. If you love nail art and want a salon with talented artistst this is the place for you. Update: Like I said before I am truly never going anywhere else. Ivy does amazing designs quickly and for a vreat price. I have never been dissapointed and I am never scared to give her a challenging design as she always nails it and helps me keep my natural nails long as well.

Kirsten Vanderhoof Heidi is the best with nails. The pricing and 3D nail art is why I switched from my previous nail salon to this nail salon. I make same day appointments typically within a half hour from when I call. The salon typically offers a beverage including sangria. I do wish they used the hard gel for 3D art but the several applications of gel overlay also works. Definitely recommend. Very clean.

The nail spa is peaceful, super clean and airy. Emmy gave me an amazing pedicure and manicure that was so relaxing. They pay close attention to detail providing the total spa experience. The hot steamy towels on the feet and legs and a special massage with cbd cream made me feel like I was on vacation. They also use quality products. Viet does flawless French nails. They even had a special nail dryer for the natural nail manicure. They are very gracious and offer you alkaline water and Vietnamese coffee. Viet brought me a Vietnamese coffee with whipped cream.

Isabella Purnell Cleanliness is my TOP priority in seeking a nail spa!!! I’d highly recommend Euro Nail Spa just for the exceptional cleanliness alone. Though that was just the beginning…Viet was polite and professional as he gave me a wonderful mani while Emmy was thorough and caring with my mud-bath spa pedi!!! Overall a wonderful experience and I am highly recommending to my family & friends!!!

Misty Mariano I came by this location since I work in the area and needed to get my nails done. I found them on Google and decided to come here! Kimmy was my nail artist and she was happy to make my color vision come alive, she was also very transparent with pricing which was greatly appreciated! I’ve been to other places and they just tell you after the service was done. Cash is king so if you come here, be sure to bring cash. If you ever have a question about something, they’re very friendly, so don’t be shy.

Kimberley Jwa They’re super nice but unfortunately my gel manicure chipped super quickly. I got my manicure done on Friday only to have my thumb nail chip by Monday. Again were really nice and willing to repaint the nail as is their policy but I went to repaint my chipped nail and it chipped again the day after. I only washed my hands, nothing strenuous or labor intensive on the hands. For over 80 dollars I would’ve hoped it lasted more than a day. I think there’s a chance it might not be gel since my gel manicure from a previous salon lasted over a month without chipping. Unfortunately I am out of town and won’t be able to get my manicure fixed again but don’t think that would fix the issue. Maybe for acrylics or other services it would be more durable.

nobusexyasf ! book with Leo!! Amazing customer service and very friendly. This was my first time getting my nails done and he did exactly what I I requested and provided me with the best option. I came last minute on thanksgiving day which would’ve really frustrated many but he gave me nothing but smiles while doing my nails! Love it. Ambiance of the place is amazing as well.

Samantha McCoy I found Kensington Nails and Spa during the 2020 pandemic when everything was shut down but were allowed to operate outside. I could not find a nail salon anywhere that was open other than here. It had great reviews so I took a chance and the rest is history. I met the owner Kate when I first went and I just loved her efficiency, sense of humor, and overall professionalism. I have gone through most of the nail techs at the salon and theyre all great. However, I stick with Tiffany when I go now. I do acrylic sets and gel pedicures and they are always long-lasting and stunning. They also offer complimentary drinks like water, orange juice, etc. They accept cards, but also have an ATM, and some techs accept Venmo if needed. The bathroom is also impeccable and Im comfortable to use it whenever I need to.

LC I have been receiving gel manicures and pedicures at this establishment for approximately two years and I truly appreciate my nail specialists. It’s essential to find the right professionals, and I have had the pleasure of receiving exceptional service from both of them! Kathleen excels in manicures, while Vinny is outstanding for pedicures; its clear that they are both passionate about their work and highly skilled.

Julia Kane Hi nails is an awesome salon. I’ve been there many times over the last few years and am always impressed with how good my nails look afterwards.The salon is always clean, the staff are friendly, and on they always accept walk-ins. Today, Lynn did a fabulous job evening out and shaping my super short nails without cutting them.

Gabriela Mendes I just had the worst experience of my life. I had a pedicure appointment ( that it was awesome) but unfortunately I also had a gel manicure service that it was terrible. The quality of the service it was awful. My nails looked like a one month growing up nail. My cuticles were 90% still on my fingers and the color started almost in the middle of the finger. And besides that, the color was super thick. I will be traveling tomorrow and I thought I was going to have a good nails for my trip but it was so bad that went back and asked to be removed from my finger and now I’ll do by myself at home. It’s a place that I won’t recommend and won’t be going back. It wasn’t worth almost $40 for this kind of service.

Eleonora Milo The older lady that did these nails was horrible and took forever. We begged her to clean the old nail polish off and she left the black all under her nails saying it was “too strong” to get off when that’s her literal job, we even offered to pay more just so it would be cleaner. It was so messy the pictures speak for themselves, we could’ve done a better job without paying over 50 dollars. When we complained the manager was completely unhelpful and rude and denied how bad they look trying to make up excuses and didn’t care. She would only reimburse half of the service and she wrote down our debit card number saying she will “call tomorrow “ to have us refunded which is very shady and suspicious. Overall horrible customer service and skill and that old lady just needs to be fired because other workers there like May are very good.

Maureen Sandt I absolutely love Hi Nails! The nail technicians are so friendly and attentive, always prioritizing the customer’s preferences. Lyhn does a fantastic job with my acrylic nails, and Lee gives an amazing pedicure. That said, all of their technicians are highly skilled and do excellent work. The shop is spotless and well-maintained. I’ve been a loyal customer for three years and plan to keep coming back for many more!

Brittany West Tracy did an amazing job on my nails! Just what I asked for. She was checking in with me during the whole process to make sure I was happy. She does quality work in a fast manner. Couldnt be happier with how they turned out. Seven also did an amazing job on my pedicure. Great leg massage!! The receptionist is also the sweetest person ever. She checked on us multiple times to see if we wanted another drink. I absolutely recommend this place. I wont get my nails done anywhere else! The price includes 2 gel pedicures, 2 gel manicures, and gel X extensions.

Sandra Lomantas Cute, Phillip did an amazing job making the almond shape happen with my shorter nails. I love the color and I appreciate the good conversations we had. I also enjoyed the complimentary drink (mimosa) & candies. Looking forward to the next experience! P.S., I’ve been here before and just realized today there was a back parking lot to the salon. It is helpful!

Hannah Wilder Philip did a great job on my pedicure. I got the deluxe. The polish has lasted over one week and my feet still feel incredibly soft. He was kind and funny. The other staff were helpful and attentive too. We had champagne so that made it more expensive than I anticipated but it was worth it. I appreciated the excellent customer service and friendliness and good atmosphere. And high quality workmanship. I highly recommend.

Lauren Flores I was recommended this spot after moving to SD from LA. This has been my 3rd visit and every time I have had to best experience. All the techs are great, but Terry did my last set (holiday set) and Ill probably request him going forward! I also did a tortoise set which was amazing. These are my natural nails and they always take such great care of them! The salon is clean, always has great music, and overall just a great vibe.

Stephanie Stephens I’ve been going here for several months now and I am very pleased. After I lost my favorite girl at another salon, I spent months trying to find a place to get my nails done. I came upon Rena and I will not let anyone else touch my toes. I love her so much. She does an amazing job. They are always crowded because this salon is so good but you never have to wait too long. I would definitely recommend this salon.

parinaz bina I’ve been coming to Blush Hour Nail Salon for over a year now. I first walked in randomly and was happy with the results, but once Helen did my nails, I was hooked! She’s incredibly precise and patient, shaping my nails beautifully and naturally without making them look chunky. I’ve done powder dip with her twice, and the results were fantastic. Helen never rushes—she takes her time to create delicate, flawless nails.

Trung Nguyen I recently took my girlfriend to Cloud Nail Spa for a nail appointment, and we had an amazing experience. The atmosphere was beautiful and relaxing from the moment we walked in. The staff was incredibly welcoming, and they made sure my girlfriend was comfortable throughout the process. The nail set she chose was stunning – the attention to detail from the nail technician was on point. My girlfriend couldnt stop smiling after seeing the final result. If you’re looking to treat someone special or just want top-notch service, I highly recommend this place

Jack Me Based on reviews I gave it a chance. Im a guy who isn’t too experienced in nail grooming. I went yesterday, got a pedi/man. The (gel)mani: polish uneven, chipping already (hasn’t even been 24rs), and they have some little bubbles in them. From what I’m told my cuticles don’t looked touched. The(no gel) pedi: was not pleasing, the lady who did them had a really nasty attitude. But, she could have just had a rough day, so I excused it. To the contrary the more experienced (in age) woman, who did my nails had the sweetest smile and was warm and welcoming. However, for what I paid I’m sure I could have gotten a better job done elsewhere. Once again, I’m not a nail expert, but even I can tell the job was done poorly. Nonetheless, I tipped well, bc I admire artistry and respect the craft, but I won’t be back :).
