04-2025 Blooming Nails & Spa in List Best 9 Nail Salons in Visalia, CA (Part 3)KAI Nails and Spa - San Diego Stephanie Pyle: I decided to give this nail salon a try and immediately regret my decision. I requested almond shape and the work is so poor. This was not only a waste of time, but also a waste of $60. I received uneven, crooked, thick nails, that are actually painful given how they are angled up (which is NOT how my nails grow, and even if it was - a good tech knows how to make them straight.) The nails are way too angled up, it feels like they are being pulled. I’ll have to go get these removed tomorrow and redone. I can’t say that a single nail lines up or is even, and the guy was actually checking this the entire time. Save your money and go elsewhere.
The Newme Nails - San Diego Khuyen Phan: This is what my nails currently look like despite only getting them done 3 days ago - on Jan 23rd. It looks like I’ve had the nails on for at least a week. An older lady did my nails and her gel-x application was quick, hence the sloppiness. I can assure you that probably only 2-3 nails actually turned out good and doesn’t look overgrown. This is not my first time at the NewMe nails but it is the only time that I have left unsatisfied with the experience.
Pro Nails Lounge & Spa - San Diego Susanne Nielsen: I am not one to leave a negative review but if there’s one thing I don’t like it’s being lied to regarding pricing. I was told that the Dip manicure would be $53 and I ended up being charged $3 more. it’s not the amount, but the principal. Also Dip manicures if done correctly do not require UV lamps! And to add insult to injury she said because she used the UV lamp that they charge three dollars more which she knew I didn’t want to begin with! And she didn’t offer the dip manicure without it.
They also only offer one week guarantee versus the usual 2 weeks, and on day 5 they already started cracking off (See picture) so a $56 dip plus tip lasted only five days, what a joke. This may be decent a place to go for gel manicures but definitely not dip manicures. Very disappointing experience. :/
Reply:
I never asked for gel anything, just a dip manicure which usually includes just powder/ no gel or UV. I was on a business trip and no I did not alter my nails. Not sure why you bring up cutting my cuticles as I never asked for that.
Since there are a couple of chips now, I’m just going to have them redone at my original place (they charge a few dollars more but I get a 10 day guarantee and they last three weeks). But thanks anyhow..
The Little Nail Shop San Diego - San Diego Kim Tran: My first visit here was during October and I loved the Halloween decor! Popped back in a few weeks later and now the shop is a winter wonderland, so cute. Both times my service was immaculate. I’m particular about cuticle work and they didn’t leave any behind! I arrived shortly after opening and didn’t have to wait long. The shop is well maintained and parking is easy! Highly recommend.
Downtown Nail & Spa - San Diego Maris ĐĽ: I came here for the first time, I was looking for a regular manicurist nearby. Before that I read the reviews, there were a lot of positive ones, so I decided to come in. Manicure was done by a man, removal of the old coating was quick, then he immediately started the coating, until I stopped him and asked him to cut the cuticle, he cut from the top, after he saw that I was looking at the nails, he started to push back the cuticle and cut normally. He applied the coating with splotches and drips, trying to fix with more coats of varnish, but it didnt work. Tried to use two colors, but that didnt help either. I asked him to fix it, but it felt like he didnt understand what to do or how to do it. We ended up changing the color to a different color, but the same story happened again. I didnt say anything, I just wanted to leave. At the cash register, I paid without leaving a tip, as I believe that for such work to leave a tip is not worth it. My nails look worse than the ones I came in with originally. Severely over-sawn, drops of nail polish and different shapes. Its a shame for the time spent. Not recommended. The last picture is the nails I came in with
Euro Nails and Spa - San Diego Diana Paloma: Fantastic experience. Highly recommend. I walked over while getting my car serviced at the Volvo dealer. What an amazing find. The owner Viet welcomed me as I entered. 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. It tasted like a special dessert. Just overall wonderful experience with very kind, caring people who take pride in their work.
Kensington nails and spa - San Diego 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.
Beauty Lounge - San Diego 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.
Italy Nails & Spa - San Diego Lorelei: Bruce Lee did my gel manicure with design and was meticulous about getting good shape and the design I asked for. He provided me gloves to protect my skin from the gel lights which I thought was a great touch!
Tammy gave me a great, and relaxing pedicure with massage. I just moved into the area and will be back. (I’ve been moving, so the condition of my skin is my fault!)
Italy Nails offers a variety of drinks to relax with while you get pampered!
Luxur Nails Lounge and Spa - San Diego 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.
