They took my mom and I 15 minutes before they closed on a Saturday and the day before mom’s birthday. They were lovely and personable. The place was immaculate inside and the soft, relaxing music was perfect. Thank you. I highly recommend this place. TY and his crew were gracious and hospitable!

Love this small business! They are so friendly and top notch customer service! Got gels today and asked for custom art for the holiday. So cute and quick!

Buyer Beware, I went there for the first time. I had an appointment for a manicure and pedicure, buffed and shined, and gel removal from my toe nails. I arrived 10 min. early and didn't have to wait long. The salon's decor, the chairs, and the music were pleasant. The guy clipped my toe nails and I asked him to file them across to avoid any more ingrown toe nails. He acted irritated, got up, and walked away. He walked out, came back in, and worked on someone else. I spoke to the manager about what I wanted. A woman gave me a pedicure and manicure. She used scissors to cut my calluses. Big no no. When she gave me a manicure, she clipped my finger nails shorter than I wanted. The water for soaking my nails was too hot. She added some cool water. Still too hot. I told her. She told me to soak the tips of my fingers. I had to remind her to soak my other hand. She made no other changes to the water temperature. My husband was pleased with his pedicure. His attendant was friendly and asked about the temperature of the water. Between my spa pedicure, toe gel removal, buffed and shined for fingers and toes, and my husband's spa pedicure plus paying by credit card, it was $98. That didn't count the tip. When I offered my attendant a tip, she pointed to her cart and said "Put it there." It sounded like an order. The manager offered no apology and no discount for the first employee's walking away from the job. The woman who gave me the manicure and pedicure said she hadn't eaten lunch at all yesterday and hadn't eaten lunch yet that day. It was already 2 pm. Emplothers are required by law to give their staff two 10 minute breaks in an 8 hour period. She said she was shaking the day before because she hadn't eaten the day before "because they were so busy. There was no time." To top it off, I had an ingrown toe nail that night. I read reviews of several nail salon't before making the appointment. Next time I'll ask my podiatrist to cut my toe nails.

I'm sorry but this salon is just a no for me! went in as a walk in cause i decided last minute to get my nails done. i have been on the search for a new nails place as my regular gal is taking a hiatus. i will admit, i may not be the easiest, i have such sensitive nail beds & im that girl that brings in pics from pinterest & ask "can you do this"! i know i'll pay the price & i tip well on top of that. so walkin in to this place, the dude didn't seem too friendly & that should've been my first clue to leave. when i asked if they have time for a fill, & he asked "well what do you want on it, what kind of design cause i may not be able to take you" should have been my 2nd clue. i didn't even have my phone out with my cache of designs i wanted. so i just said well can we do a cat eye, just as i looked down at all their samples & saw a bunch of cat eye samples. he said ok. & i asked well they can at least do acrylic fill right? he said yea & it just didn't get better... as she's removing my previous gel polish, very rough with the dremel, my fingers are already starting to hurt, i look down & notice spots on the techs fingernails. i realize she's got FUNGUS on her nails. not just in 1 spot, but numerous nails! why oh why didn't i just get up & leave?? instead, i asked the guy to ask her if she can please put some gloves on, because she has fungus on her nails. & she does. as she's doing my fill, she's not loading up lots of product, which means my nail won't be too thick which i really like. so that's good. i'm like ok maybe it'll be fine. nope, as she's filing & shaping my nail, she is sooo close to my cuticles & then yup! she CUT ME. she was grinding it so much all my cuticles are raw! but yea she cut me so much i was bleeding. i should've left then but nope, i was like i may as well finish. thankfully i picked a color that hides everything cause my nails aren't smooth, there are particles under my polish, almost every nail has bits of hard stuff under the color, it's like i asked for textured nails (which i didn't). at least the color is pretty cool. but my nails are different shapes, they're wavy, & the more i look at them i noticed they're the tips are slanted she filed them crooked. to top this all off, their prices were deceiving. the cat eye design came out to +$10 mind you, all the other samples said +$8 & the sample i actually picked didn't have any +$ on it, but i was fully prepared to pay extra! but don't charge me $10 when all your stuff says 8!! when i asked about it he said yea that's old pricing. naw dude, then update yo stuff. & they charged +$5 for long nail. my nails aren't even that long!! & i still tipped her overall-it just doesn't get worse then this place. inexperienced, outdated, & UNCLEAN. i wish i took a pic of her nails too, but here's my proof of the carnage. & prayin i don't end up with fungus on my nails.

The sweetest staff and the best nail artwork I've ever experienced. Also, the ambiance is so peaceful. I will never go anywhere else to get my nails done because I feel so spoiled here ❤️Services: Pedicure

Wonderful service by Elaine. It was my first time coming here to get a set of ombré nails fixed that were done elsewhere and looked horrible. Elaine did a beautiful job. The receptionist was super polite when I called to make my appt. The salon was clean and very nice. This is definitely my new go to salon. Can't wait to go back for a fill and pedicure. Thanks Elaine :)

I'd like to start by saying this was my 1st visit. Though I don't remember the lady's name, she was rough! I came in with gel nail polish on and so she put some cotton and I believe she put some nail polish remover and covered it with aluminum for a couple of minutes. Once she removed the aluminum, she started using the nail filer to remove the rest of the gel nail polish that was on my natural nails. She was scrapping my nails so hard, I do believe she ruined my natural nails. I asked her if there was another way she can remove the nail polish but I don't believe she understood me. She seemed to be in such a hurry. Now a days, having your nails done is a luxury. I like to relax and enjoy the treatment but not this time. This is the 1st time ever that I received service and don't tip. I hope I got the message across to her.

I really like this nail shop, I think they do a good job. My go to for a pedicure is Kevin! They're a little pricey though, which is my only complaint.

I absolutely love this nail salon. It's in a nice peaceful quite area of La Mesa, cute salon. Elaine is fantastic at doing my nails. I show her a pic of what I want and her execution of it is beyond what I can ask for. This is officially my favorite nail salon. They have many options for colors. The pedicure I got this morning was fabulous just what I needed right before my vacation. I highly recommend them.
