Nails Expression

Not a fabulous parking situation but the customer service was great and my nails are awesome! Definitely will be going back.

Beautiful! She took her time with my nails and I really appreciate the attention to detail, absolutely love, $ 35 goes a long way here!

Vicky did an amazing job on my French acrylics! I made an appointment and she didn’t make me wait. She really made sure they looked even and perfect!

Megan is awesome! She’s amazing at what she does. She’s very accomodating and her work is awesome!

Five stars for Megan ! Parking is bad though, came in today without an appointment I got lucky because someone was late so Megan went ahead and took me. In the future though it looks like they only take appointments due to the small shop and how busy it gets! She also speaks english which is great!

I found a place that can do a french pedicure on my tiny toes!!! Woo!!!
I went in originally just for the pedicure, but I was so in love that I wanted to get my manicure too. French tip acrylic to match, came out beautiful. I would love to give 5 stars for the pedicure alone, but my manicure did not last very long and that was disappointing. Still, very cheap and lovely people. And so close to the SDSU campus! Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to look good on a budget.

My did my nails and did a lovely job on my French tip gel.

Don’t go to Tammy for acrylics. She takes very long and doesn’t do a good job. I have had her twice and each time, a nail Will break off the next day. I went to a different nail salon, and the nail tech told me that Tammy does them too thin and that’s why they are breaking off easily. Save you money and go somewhere with quality.

I had two acrylic full-​set appointments with Vicki and she was always very professional and nice. If you’re thinking about doing designs, take note that they don’t do complex ones, just basic designs. Beautiful job on both times, the prices are pretty reasonable. $ 20 for full set acrylics. $ 3 extra for each nail design.

I get my nails done here every 2 weeks and they almost always do an amazing job. I always get compliments on my nails after I get them done. The ladies here are also really nice! Definitely recommend this place

I was impressed when I came here. My did my gel manicure, but I didn’t get the name of the lady who did my pedicure. Only complaint I had was that she did too many coats on my fingernails, and from some angles it looks «bubbly» and not very defined. Also, I don’t understand the difference between a gel color ($ 25) and a gel color with mani ($ 30). Both seem like the same thing to me. Cost me $ 48 for a gel mani and spa pedi, not including tip. But I do love my nails, and the ladies are very nice. I’ll be back!

I came in today to get a new set of claws by Vicky. Prior my appointment, I tried to remove some of my acrylic nails on my own, but didn’t do so well. I accidentally removed too much of my own nail on one of my fingers. I mentioned to Vicky what I had done and I told her it felt a little sore. She asked if I still wanted to add a new set and I said yes. She took extra care to gently file and prep that one nail for new acrylics. I love my new set (as always)! Vicky does an amazing job and takes the time to make sure all nails are even, straight, and perfect. I’m very OCD when it comes to my nails, so any imperfection makes me want to pick at it. But after Vicky is done I don’t have to worry about anything.
Note: They do accept walk-​ins, but I recommend that you set up an appointment to ensure you’ll be seen at a time that works best for you.

I discovered this place by accident one day because I was down in the SDSU area washing my comforters at my favorite laundromat and had some time to kill.
Cheapest spa pedicure I have ever had…18 bucks? and it wasn’t sloppy! The nail tech seemed really efficient yet careful about her work. The décor is a little dated and could use an update/​remodel, but the nail salon isn’t exactly in the «nice part» of San Diego so I guess that’s fine. They seemed to care about cleanliness because I saw every nail tech putting their tools into the UV-​light thing to disinfect their tools.
If you’re in the area… go here for a mani or pedi. They definitely get the job done, but don’t expect a spa experience.

I got coffin-​shaped acrylics for the first time by Vicki, as lots of people recommended in reviews. She didn’t talk much, she didn’t prep my cuticles or anything, she just went right on and began working.
One of my nails was ways too curved, that one broke about nine days later. The rest of my nails were coming off on the bottom before two weeks, it wasn’t even time for a fill yet.
The price was $ 35, «because of the length and the shape», $ 50 if I got gel polish. I would have been pissed if I spent that much, especially when my friend spent $ 35 on a full set with coffin shape and same length with gel polish, plus a spa pedi at another nail shop!!! And her nails lasted.
The one thing that made this go from two stars to one star is… She made me pay before she even finished my nails. I had bare acrylics, dust still on my hands, no polish and she said «That’ll be $ 35, can you pay now?» and looked at me like a was broke or something. Girl, BYE. I’m never going back, and don’t even think about a recommendation. Pssh.
