Studio 600

Their process is rushed even tho they have «spa» like prices and terrible customer service. I was just in here yesterday and it felt as tho my friend and I were herded around like cattle with little to no direction… We came in together to get a regular pedi and gel polish manicure, when a regular mani and pedi is 31 $ how is the gel polish replacement 30 $ by itself? Of course they don’t have gel polish prices listed anywhere tho or tell you that in advance. To top things off the guy taking off my gel filed my existing polish so hard it burnt me and continued to do so after I told him so, I didn’t get any lotion at the end of the pedicure and my friend (who you wouldn’t think I knew because they sat us on opposite sides of the room) had top coat on only one hand!!! Save your time, money and patience for a different place…

Best PEDICURE YET in Chula Vista. This place has put the others to shame in my eyes. These staff are no attentive and wonderful I couldn’t have asked for the VIP treatment because I felt like I was already getting it. The only thing going was their chairs aren’t as comfortable as other salons I have been too.

I’m not sure what is up with all of these bad reviews. Like seriously this is my go to place, and my friend even drives from Lemon Grove to continue going here. They’re always friendly, and usually perfectionist in a good way. I’ve walked in with a design off of pinterest, and they’ve done it perfectly — sometimes amazing me that they did it free handed.
This will always be my go to since they’re awesome, friendly, quick, and most of all CLEAN. They autoclave their tools, which is huge, thank God.
I recommend giving them a try. I have probably used every nail tech there and have never had any issues… only satisfaction.

I left this nail salon VERY upset. As a first time visitor, I came in wanting to get acrylics filled and a pedicure. I sat down with one of the manicurists, and was shown the listing of pedicures. I chose the «Superb» pedicure. Shortly after that, I was asked if I wanted to «Superb» mani as well? I figured sure, what’s a couple of extra bucks. Finished my services and although it wasn’t the best that I’ve ever seen, it was a really good job. Got to the register and was told my total cost was $ 100 dollars even. Looking through my check I realized that the «Superb» manicure that was offered to me (without a price being told or shown) was an additonal $ 39 dollars on top of my fill cost! I was FURIOUS and really feel as though I was ripped off! To top it off, I received these services on a Wednesday and the gel paint was chipped by Sunday…

First time there yesterday (11÷20÷15) thought it was a good salon to go to in my area. Saw the reviews on here that were good. NOPE! I showed a picture of the style nail type I wanted & I the length was $ 3 extra charge, I agreed. Received the complete opposite. Nail length was not what I wanted and neither was the shape. I was not happy at all. Especially being my FIRST time there, not a good experience. I won’t be returning. I had to leave and go to a different nail salon where they did a much better job and did exactly what I wanted.

Lori has horrible customer service skills and my pedicure was unsatisfactory! She did not introduce herself, she only communicated by patting my leg (yes, she speak English. I heard speaking English to another customer), she never asked me which pedicure packaged I wanted and gave me the basic! I asked her to remove my ingrown because it hurt, her response we normally do not take off unless they hurt. The only thing she proved she was able to do is talk to her fellow co-​worker that was doing my daughter’s mani/​pedi. I spoke with the lady at the front desk and her response, «Im so sorry, I will talk to her, she probably tired cause its late!» SO, it’s ok to slack off because you are tired? I don’t think so! I will NEVER go back to Studio 600! And my daughter’s paint has chipped since last night! Definitely calling for a refund

I usually never complain when getting my nails done. But I really had an issue with a worker there named Tara. First of all she wouldn’t use her words with me and instead tugged at my feet when she wanted me to move them and what not & would just giggle at it. She half assed my pedicure and barely attempted to remove the black polish from my toes. She painted my toes about as good as I could’ve done it myself. As for my nails, I’m taking a trip to Disneyworld so I wanted to get A Mickey design on my ring fingers but this girl did the Mickey so tiny and was laughing as she did it because she knew it looked stupid. I proceeded to tell her that I did not like it, and instead of removing and starting over she went over the design and did my left hand so sloppy like she didn’t know what she was doing. I was so frustrated and knowing I wasn’t pleased with the other design she never asked if i was content with the one she did. I thought she was going to fix it but she did not. I’ve never had an issue with this nail salon and it’s one of my favorites. But I will definitely not be coming back here, I was not pleased with the service

A couple of weeks ago I had gotten shellac done on my nails at my usual nail salon. I didn’t have the time to go out to Grossmont, so I decided to go into Studio 600 in my neighborhood to have it taken off as it was cracking and catching on my hair.
The receptionist was very nice, and the décor was very nice. It’s a taken care of nail salon — plenty of tables and pretty décor. But I am NOT happy with what happened to my nails after I paid $ 10 and the technician was finished.
The color polish came off yes — but so did some of my nail. Ripping. Flaking. Scratches. And there’s even still some of the shellac base polish left behind.
You couldn’t have waited longer to ensure that this wouldn’t happen? What, were you that eager to get me out of the chair and out of the salon so you could go back to doing whatever? (It wasn’t busy when I came in).
I won’t be coming back. It takes too long to grow my natural nails out to have them ruined by a careless technician.

I give this place 0 stars… but the nice platform that Unilocal is requires me to select a star!!! DON’T LET THE 4.5STAR REVIEW FOOL YOU! This morning my girlfriend and I decided to try a different location for our gel fills (she had already be one time previous) and dispite going to my usual gal… Reluctantantly I went. And I have to say… I was right. The nail tech (the only guy there) STRAIGHTOUT REFUSED to do a BASIC gel overlay. For the following reasons :
” it take to long”
” it’s will wrinkle”
” I don’t do it «
» no” — that was his statement, not a reason.
I was like huh? Wait? The girl next to me is getting it done as we speak… So it’s not a matter of No I cant/​am unable because I don’t posses the skill to Polish gel over a nail (In a nail salon). It was a matter of a good old fashioned N-0,nope, not gonna happen, not on my watch. When we asked for another nail tech to perform the service, he denied us of that option… So we thought well maybe they just don’t do gel here. Maybe were the a-​holes that didn’t get the memo that gel nails are soooooo 2009.
But wait! Listed on their services was «clear gel overlay $ 4»…now it took all of me not to mention anything to the front desk girl… But then I saw the menu of services and there it was the last item on the list! I called her over and describe our experience. She was sweet and kind and offered many excuses as to why. And that she’ll speak to him about… She did also happen to mention that the $ 4 is incorrect on the menu… That it would be more… I felt like I was on a different planet… honestly, it was so surreal that with all the competition around for business that this petty act of disservice caused them more grief than it was worth. Time is both a commodity and a luxury… So if we want to spend 3hrs waiting for 2009 gel nails to dry that’s our prerogative… not to mention our money… Which wouldn’t have mattered anyways since they don’t have a clear idea of what it would cost anyway.

So I’ve been coming here for about a year and these ladies are very friendly. Cindy and Kimberly are the best nail techs for acrylics. Cindy is the best shaper, but Kimberley’s actual work is amazing. Kimberley also does my eyebrows and they are always super clean and neat. Definitely try her out. The prices are moderate to high, but good work isn’t cheap. Try them out, see if your experience is as good as mine.

Had a disappointing pedicure here yesterday. I was worked on by a grumpy looking man. He didn’t even communicate with me, he just pointed where I should put my feet. It seemed like he hated his job but he didn’t have to take it out on me. I like to get flowers on my big toes and he tells me he can only do lines –_​-​. He then proceeds to draw this line design on my big toes which was not so worth the $ 5. The design doesn’t even start on the same corners of my toe nails. That bothers me because I used to work in a nail salon and attention to detail is so important for the job. I tipped because the massage was decent but the overall experience was a fail. I’ll take my business elsewhere where customer service matters and they can actually do basic nail art.

Amazing job on eye lash extensions. Ask for Trinh. It was my first time and nervous how they were going to turn out but I LOVE them. Look very natural

Do not go there to remove eyelash extensions. Very disappointed. It was the most painful thing I’ve done. I’d rather go to the dentist…

I’ve been to many many many salons in Eastlake and this is my favorite. They are quick, efficient, and my nails are strong and always look good. Plus they are a clean salon.

Worst salon ever. They messed up my nails and did not want to own up to it plus they told me it was going to be 20 $ and somehow ended up paying 29. Unfriendly salon.

Do not go here! Super un profesional! Unfriendly salon. There are about 10 people sitting around too lazy to get up and attend anyone because they are too busy talking. Don’t waste your time here.

The ladies here are extremely helpful and very nice. Extensive service choice from nails, hair, wax, microabrasions. One stop shop for anyone trying to do some maintenance on themselves. Plus the area is super peaceful and very clean.

I don’t dare go anywhere else for my bi-​weekly acrylic fills ever since I started coming here 3 months ago.
Really clean every time I go, fancy interior, relaxing atmosphere, affordable prices, friendly/​professional staff, never much of a wait if there is even one at all.
I recommend Thu for acrylic nails!

WORST HAIRCUT EXPERIENCE EVER!!! DO NOT GO WITH LORI.
My situation was; Tuesday 10÷28÷14 I walked in there and asked for a haircut, the lady «Lori» and I had a «consultation» and I told her I wanted my shortest layer to the bottom of the nape. She gave me a stupid look, when I gave her hairstylist terminology.
Anyway, she ended up, not cutting the shortest layers, short as I wanted it.
After she «style it» I still told her «the layers are not how I wanted them, she said they are! I told her «no they are not, they need a little bit more off». So she cut/​texterized ONE size only, where I had pointed it out. But, that was just the example.
2 days of looking at my hair, I decided to go back, I called to let them know that I was coming.
As soon as I waled in, she said «WHAT DO YOU WANT CUT»! I SHOULD HAD WALKED OUT THE DOOR WHEN I WAS GREETED LIKE THAT. (RUDE BITCH).
OK, so I explained to her that I needed the layers how I told her in the beginning.
She started cutting my hair, she cut it so much and in a hurry.
BAD HAIRCUT!!! BAD ATTITUDE!!! AND RECHARGE ME FULL PRICE…
DONT EVER GO BACK!!!
THE STUPID BITCH DID NOT KNOW THAT I KNOW ABOUT HAIR (FORMER COSMETOLOGIST/​HAIRSTYLIST).
SHE IS A CROOK!!!

Sign outside says $ 29.99 for a mani/​pedi and $ 9.99 for gel color. I expected to pay $ 40 but was billed $ 50. When I asked why I was not given an explanation. Needless to say there was no tip involved and I wont be going back.
I will say that the guy who gave me a manicure did an acceptable job but my pedicure was nothing more than a dip in water and a polish change. The girl was pushy and did not allow me to relax. She was done in 10 mins which should tell you guys something.
Skip this place-​the negative reviews below are true.
