Downtown Nail & Spa - San Diego (CA)

1 /5 Maris м: 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

5 /5 Ilsa C: I am from out of town and was hoping to find a good nail salon to fix my builder gel manicure that had gotten pretty rough. I came into Downtown Nail Salon and was given the fastest and best gel fill I’ve ever gotten. Anh was so sweet and did an amazing job, I cannot recommend her enough! As I type this I came back in the next day to get a pedicure I was so happy with my manicure!

5 /5 Alicia Juarez: Jenny and all her coworkers are super sweet. Great customer service. My husband and two sons were waiting for me and brought them water for them. I was not the only one taken care off also my family. Love my nails. I will definitely come back. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

5 /5 Patricia Reed: I am very appreciative of this shop. It took me awhile to find a place in the city that actually did good quality nails. They are fast with the services and still manage to give me acrylic nails that last. I can actually go a solid month with no lifting or breakage. I recommend calling and making an appointment as something they get very busy.

1 /5 Jasmine Lee: Be careful who you go to for nail art. I made an appointment with Jenny (per suggestion from a friend), didnt get her to do my nails for some reason, got them done by some other random person. Once he started I knew it wasnt going to be done like I wanted and its my fault for not stopping at the beginning. I was trying to trust the process. The nails are lumpy, the color and gel go onto my finger, they are super chunky, its just not good. My fingers actually look fatter. Honestly, you can just tell that the art of doing nails doesnt matter here(the person that did my nails at least). I have had my nails done by people who really like doing nails and that was not the case here. So again...if you want NAIL ART, dont come here unless you KNOW the person. If you just want a pedicure with your nails painted...sure, why not. Pop in.
