Tina’s Hair and Nails

I do not like this place. Everyone is so rude. I went to just get a polish change. I brought my own nail polish and gel top coat but she didn’t want to use them. She wanted to use her own nail polish. She just wanted me to pay more. They were rushing too and talking about me. So I ended picking one of there nail polishes and I pointed at the beige color. They put the wrong nail polish color so my nails are purple instead of beige. I would not recommend this place at all. Worst nail experience ever.

OK updating again. Went to get my eyebrows done wanted Tina to do them as she did a good job last time waited about 15 minutes when lady that does hair told her I was waiting she said you do it.
It’s official never going back. I ended up going to fantastic Sam’s across the street. Paid ten dollars but Jenny did a great job and didn’t even have to wait.
I will pay more for better service.
OK updating my review because after I voiced not getting same attention as Asian lady that got there after me with no appointment and was seated first they apologized and did a great job on my gel nails and pedicure. Oh and she’s did a great job on my eyebrows. Happy now and will give them another shot.
Looks like you get priority if your asian. Not happy. Third and last time I visit this place.

I came in on a Sunday afternoon. I don’t usually go to this place, and the 2 times I’ve been here, I’ve always had a guy nail tech (they are really good and nice) unfortunately, when I walked in. They had other customers. So I got two different ladies. One for my manicure and one for my pedicure. I always get white nail polish for my pedicure and for my gel manicure. I told the lady I wanted white & she goes «it’s a new year. Why are you gonna get white again?!» She then gave me the choices of colors and forced me to get a pink one. I was whatever about it at first. Cause I do get white all the time. but she still didn’t have to make that comment. So I got a nude/​pinkish color. After she painted it on my toes, she kept repeating herself saying «see this is way better than white. I don’t know why you wanted white» get over it already. Now on to my manicure. I was getting gel nails. I already had gel on my nails from a previous manicure. All the lady did was put nail polish remover on my fingers and then scrape it off with her dirty finger nails. It was weird. AND THEN. she kept pulling my hand all aggressive, and then she would basically shove my hand under the light. I’m not coming back to this place & if I do. I would want one of the guys to do my nails.

First time coming and she did good job.
I recommend this place to anyone who is around national city.
Friendly workers and easy to communicate with.
Inside is clean.
Nail polish may seem low. But trust me they have a whole selection of nail polish.
Not bubbly nails and will drill to perfection

I was one loyal customer wven if they sometimes didn’t do a good job on my nails I would come and get a pedicure from one lady she’s chubby with glasses. Anyways I’m giving it 1 STAR. Because today I took my 3 year old son with me and he wanted his nails blue. Now I’m the kinda mom that if my son wants something I don’t care if it’s pink or anything I let my son do it so I ask the man how much for my son to get his nails and he looked at me all surprised and said $ 3, damn that’s cheap alright he’s next and he said something in his language with all the ladies that work their and they all laughed I assumed they laughed because I’m letting my son get his nails painted Blue. So I rate this place 1 star for laughing at my baby I mean your a guy doing nails and ur laughing at my baby ! I will never come here again ! Plus he burned my fingers and was mad cause I said he doesn’t know how to do coffin nails !

They do a good job for a good price. I would always ask for Emily but today they told me she no longer works here & I’m actually heartbroken lol. Tony is the best for acrylics though. Do not, I repeat, DOOOO NOOOOTTTTTT go to the tall, skinny girl with glasses. Not sure her name but unless you wanna get an infection & waste your money when your nail breaks then go on ahead! She speeds through & does a crappy job. Everyone else does a great job from what I’ve seen.

Customer service is a little ehhhh not too good, I walked in there & no one offered to help me so I had to ask for help. Well I was completely satisfied with Tony’s work he’s very serious & doesn’t talk at all but after his work is great. I highly recommend going with tony he does a great clean job (:

I had to go here just because I was already in the area. I came in wanting a refill and my wait time was longer than I expected on a Tuesday morning, which is fine. but that’s not even the bad part. I had this lady, I wish I got her name so I can tell everyone not to go to her. What happened was when she was filing my nails with the electric nail drill THE SKIN AROUND MY NAILS STARTED TO BLEED!!! It felt like she was rushing and the way she did it was rough! I told her it hurts but she continued to keep doing whatever the hell she was doing, I was honestly scared every time she moved on to the next nail. The only fingers that didn’t bleed were my thumbs, not only that. I asked her to do a design and she said she could not do it –_​– so I left with LITERALLY bleeding fingers and no design. Never have I ever in the history of getting my nails done had a horrible experience like this one.

Ive been going to this nail shop for about 4 years now and the service is great not amazing but good! They are clean and organized ! If you go to get your nails done go with Emily or Tony they do an awesome job very friendly for your pedicure go to rose she is sweet and does a good job!

LOVE coming here! I always go to Tony for my Acrylic Gel & his wife for my pedi. They’re patient with me as I am with them. & I’m a regular

Customer service is whatever, highly expected in places in national city though. It’s definitely not the cleanest nail salon, but you are in National City so don’t expect the fanciest. The parking is great and have many options!
They renovated the nail salon so they have new massage chairs for the spa pedicures. It was very relaxing I was falling asleep.
I liked my lady, she was the skinny/​tall one that always laughs. I recommend her! She’s friendly and does a nice job. I forgot her name though I’ll ask next time. Since I will be back.
Anyway, the prices are average I paid $ 17 for my Spa pedicure plus French and I tipped so overall I paid $ 21. She did a good job! She shaped my toes the way I wanted without asking, added extra white tip nail polish and pink for my cute toes. And they scrub the hell out of your feet to get rid of those nasty calluses and she put a lot of oil and lotion on my feet and legs to make it extra soft. She also gave me the free sandals since I wore shoes to a nail salon, I know my bad. In comparison to «Tips n Toes» nail salon this lady did the best on my French pedicure! Thanks Tina’s!

For nails get either tony or Erick ! Anybody else sucks at doing nails especially the lady !

An appointment means nothing at this place! I understand that it’s a nail shop in National City, and everyone is trying to save money. But you will wait and wait and wait. I’ve been here a couple of times because my mom goes here and they were okay. But having to wait for almost an hour is not worth it. You will get there before someone and they will see that person, even if you have an appontment. Plus they are really dirty.

Okay, so I’ve gone here a couple of times in the past and their service and work was pretty average. But today I got them done and this one particular experience is enough to keep me from ever going here again. I got Philip to do my manicure. He was kind, but he was messed up. First, I told him not to file my nails because I already did, but then he bust out his filer anyway. So assuming it was the language barrier, I told him again «I don’t want my nails filed, I already did them.» And just looked at me and said «Well, just file a little bit more.» So that’s strike #1. Then I showed him what color I wanted which was pink with pink glitters. He just put the glitters on top of the clear polish! By the time he moved on to my second hand, he stopped and looked at me and smiled. I asked him «What’s wrong?» and was waiting for him to say something, but he didn’t! He just kept painting them! I’m a patient and kind person, so I didn’t say anything. Then by the time it was time for the second coat, he had the same hesitation, but STILL refused to tell me he messed up. I cannot stand dishonesty. So that’s strikes #2&3! $ 0 tip for him! I’m NEVER coming back here again.
OOOOOMG and to think you can’t have 2 bad experiences in one salon!!! The woman who did my pedicure allowed me to leave the salon with my toes still wet. Since she let me go, I figured they would be dry, so I put on my slippers. Once I got in the car, I realized they got messed up. So I went back inside and told her and you know what she had the nerve to tell me? She said «You shouldn’t wear [non-​flipflop] slippers!» So that pissed me off even more than I already was so I told her «Well I wasn’t expecting on coming here!» Not everyone who walks into a salon strategically plans it out in their day! Some of us like being spontaneous. But that just put the icing on the already iced cake!
ZERO STARS FOR TINA’S HAIR & NAIL SALON!!!

Love this place! Got my first gel manicure here. The asian guy did mine so pretty! I forgot his name though. Will definitely come back!

This. Place gave me a toe nail infection. I walked in with a friend to get a many pedi. I noticed how affordable the prices where so I said what the heck whats the worse that can happen. A TOE INFECTION. I got my toes and nails done by two different women. The female who did my toes was very harsh on them. She was pulling and hurting my toes. I said «ow its hurting me «at her and she looked at me like I was a sissy. After she was dobe i stood up and my toes felt like they hot ran over. A week layer i havean infection on both toes taking antibacterial med. My many was very nice and my gel nail polish is staying chipless even after a week. You honestly get wheat you paid for. When you go here you have to choose who does yournails wisely. My friend said the male that works in the salon does an outstanding job.

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. I went in with my fiancé to get a simple tummy wax before pride this weekend and the establishment was dirty, the staff was rude and the woman who waxed my fiancé’s tummy had the nerve to say rude things like «you need to tone up here your tummy is flappy» and «hair like this isn’t Normal you need to go to a dermatologist» so rude! And she tweezed her entire tummy before waxing it, making her bleed. We received an unprofessional and lazy service and I don’t recommend anyone come here.

Let’s be honest. It’s a nail spot in National City. You can almost guarantee.
1. It won’t be the cleanest salon.
2. Shit will be talked about you in, you guessed it, Vietnamese.
3. An appointment means nothing.
4. You will wait and wait. It’s cheap and everyone wants to save a dollar!
5. You will be persuaded to add services, ie. a massage, a callus removal, or a teeny white flower on your toe or nail or whatever.
Came here with my mom before opening after breakfast yesterday. My mom felt entitled to be served first due to us being first in line even after she got her pedicure. I explained that they weren’t going to stop your business because «oh yeah, she was here first so let me stop taking in customers».
Anyways, my mom recommended the youngest looking lady that worked there. She did a great job. I honestly love how my hands and feet look. She gave me a pedicure and gel manicure. I subtracted a star for her feeling the need to continuously say to my mom rudely «we’re busy! We’re busy!» while my mom complained. I get that their busy, but I wasn’t complaining and she was taking care of me and I felt she escalated the situation.
Another star was taken off because the place is literally dirty! Clearly sanitizing is not done here. They don’t even front like other places and at least make it seem like they clean their tools.
Probably won’t come back. Partially due to my mom causing a scene so now my face will probably be associated with hers. lol. Plus, there are so many other nail places in the area!

Terrible never going back 2h hours for full set that usually takes 45 min elsewhere and shitty job. Can’t believe I paid for this crap. Cut me 3times so painful what a nightmare !

Love getting my nails did here. I’m barely in this area, but when I am… Tina’s is a must.
Cheeeeeap prices for top notch quality work. They offer you services without pressuring you… and my lady even gives me cheaper alternatives! I usually get the french gel manicure but she recommended just getting a regular french tip manicure and putting gel on top! about 8 bucks cheaper and lasts the same!
