The Nails Affair

Best service! Hooked on this hot stone pedi! Been a customer for several years. Highly recommend.

I had an appointment at the salon next door to here. When I got there I could see it was going to be quite a while till they could get to me. So I walked next-​door to to this salon. They were a delightful older couple. The husband prepped my nails, while his wife Amy, was finishing another woman, who couldn’t get in for her appt next door either. (Without mentioning names I don’t LoVe that salon). Amy was charming, did a great job, and didn’t try to push extra stuff I didn’t want. it was a good price and I would highly recommend it. I just wish I found them sooner, since I’m moving away next week.

Just all bad. Asked for a pedicure French tip. And it seemed they were more interested in getting you to et as much done than the service itself. Run off polish on the sides wasn’t bothered to be cleaned. Pedicures are suppose to start at 14 mine was $ 22 and she was upset because I left no tip after asking for it to be cleaned and it wasn’t. Super let down in service husband was nice and did the first half. They don’t get into your nail only cut don’t expect an ingrown toe nail or sides to be cut or fixed. All around not my favorite service.

Went here for the first time yesterday. They did ok. I got a mani and pedi and by the time they got to the mani it felt very rushed. The husband did mine and didn’t even bother to clean the paint off around my nails and the wife did my daughters full set. Which turned out pretty bad. Some longer then the others. They are a very nice couple but I will be continuing to find a regular nail place. Won’t be returning to this shop.

It was good for the price. The only downfall is a limited color selection so I would go with your own polish!

I just moved to O’side and it was Sunday afternoon and I needed a pedi. I walked in at 3 and it was empty. Not posh– but clean enough. They are Mom and Pop with 5 kids living the American dream and working hard. It was a quick and efficient mani/​pedi. 26 for both and they were thrilled with a 5 dollar tip. So far, so good. I will return.

Really disappointed here’s what happened
Got a great pedicure by the owner (husband) he showed me the price list which only shows what types of pedicures they offer and what price. Everything is good until the wife sits me down for the manicure. She soaked my right hand and while its in a dish of COLD water, she starts on my left hand. Put some type of lotion and went to town on my cuticles without the soaking, I immediately start feeling burning pain and I couldn’t wait until she finished with it. Then I got to soak it, the cold water gave some minor relief but still I don’t think she should have started that way it hurt. So manicure is done I tell her gel polish she did layers of different crap and I’m like this isn’t shellack, wtf is she doing. My nails are painted, I have lumps of gel, polish uneven all over the cuticle, skin you name it. I looked like a 5 year old painted them, my nails were left sticky and seemed wet. After an eternity of putting my hands through the uv lights, she’s like it’s $ 62 dollars. I was like what? Why?! She charged for the polish removal during the pedicure, but that’s not on their price list, she added more fees and I was like this is really expensive, I’ve never been charged for what she did without it being disclosed. I should have known when she kept complimenting my wedding ring she would rip me off. If the services were stellar and my hands looked nice, maybe but I have stubs No Nails! So for her to charge $ 30 just for gel, I’m sorry I am never returning. People should get properly educated & trained when they’re doing stuff they weren’t originally taught when they went to nail school. So ladies be ware and ask before saying yes to anything they offer!

I found this place because they were the only shop open on Easter Sunday between San Clemente and Oceanside. It was quaint — an older location (I think he said 17 years!), but obviously loved and well cared for. The husband and wife team were so cute! He was actually the one who did most of my nails (my french pedicure still looks beautiful after a full week) while she ran around and prepped everything. They were friendly but not too chatty, which is my favorite combination since I like to go in to relax. It’s not posh, but it was solid service and affordable and I would definitely stop by again.

This is the epitome of mom and pop shop. I love this couple. My boyfriend and I went in there so I could get a pedicure and noticed the lady next to me getting a hot stone massage with her pedicure! Needless to say, I went back for a second pedi soon after. They talked me into getting ‘the ultimate treatment,” haha. It was great, felt like a queen!

Very small, not much seating & they rush through to do your feet. Very unprofessional.

Just had a gel manicure with Kim. He did a great job! He is very meticulous, which I appreciate. He and his wife are very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely refer them to friends!

Alright job. Had to ask that they go back and clean up excess polish around my finger tips, but still left with some. There’s only so many times you can say the same thing.
The hand massage was mediocre, foot and leg massage was great.
Took an hour for both manicure and pedicure. $ 31 not including tip.
Could do without the constant upselling. She mentioned twice that they do eyebrow waxing– i just had my brows done yesterday!
Would try again, but will try another place before going back.

Great service. Got a full spa pedicure including some exfoliating treatments, was very relaxing. Cute little shop, nice atmosphere. The staff is super friendly!

BEST service in town!!! I LOVE getting my fingers and toes done with Amy! I have been coming to this salon for over 5 years now. I have tried other Nail Salons in this area but none can beat the customer service that is offered here!!!
