Nail Care & Spa

Went in by appointment I made the day before and was greeted promptly and with kindness. I had two technicians take great care of me, one for pedi and one for dip manicure on my natural long nails. The technician who applied my dip powder had a tip applied on my left index finger that was chipped prior to arriving and made the shape pointy (but not too pointy) and did not leave the dip bubbly (thick) looking. The technician who did my pedicure was very courteous and did a great job and left my feet looking brand new with a great brief massage and hot towel, which was very nice. I am very content with the outcome for both services and will be returningThank you 🫶🏼

I got a gel manicure and it was $35 as of 6/11/24. The BEST deal ever. I’ve never seen a place have such low prices and but also good reviews, so I figured I’d give it a shot. Minh was great! She was so gentle when cutting my cuticles (at other places I usually get nipped at least once or twice) and actually took her time shaping my nails, comparing them to make sure they matched. I’ve never had a nail tech do that before! She seemed like she actually cared to make my nails look and feel great. I appreciated all the steps that were taken during the whole process. Definitely will be coming back!!!

I love how all the stylist service me. Theyre very profressional. My lashes is very perfect. Also waxing is doesnt as hurt as I expected. My nails done so perfectly. I visited there like two times. I still love them.

This was my first visit as I was on vacation in San Diego. I was kinda appreciative at first. Then the lady that did my nails made me feel much more comfortable. She knew what she was doing. Although, it was different than what I was familiar with I was impressed with her technique as a mail tech. The lady that did the design was good. She took a photo of the design I had on prior to getting my nails done at this location. I expressed that it didn’t have to be the exact same design but I did want a design on my ring finger. Ala in all I was completely satisfied with my experience

While I was getting my nails done, one of them broke. It took only an hour to remove the broken nail and change to a new color. I was amazed, and I couldnt help but be impressed by Kattis skills. The next time I visit San Diego, I will definitely come back here.🩶🩷🩶🩷

I never rate things but I got more upset the more I think about what I got. I got a gel pedicure and an acrylic ombré set. The pedicure came out beautifully and really was a high quality pedicure! That entire process was great, they had two people working and had me out quick. The reason the rating is two stars is bc the manicure. I had a picture and said “exactly like this please.” like I did with my pedi. It isn’t really that close to what I showed them.. the ombré also isn’t blended that well. And there was no cuticle trim, the tech also kept hitting my cuticles with the drill and it was pretty painful. I will say everyone was very kind tho, and took good care of me/my friend!

Got the refresher pedicure with gel, and the massage was incredible. The technician took her time and the massage felt longer and more relaxing than any that Ive gotten elsewhere in downtown. Also noticed they have good standards for cleanliness during and after clients leave. Def will be getting my pedicures here from now on and highly recommend!

I am here on vacation and chose this salon because of the reviews. There were many great things - it was clean, they took me as a last minute appointment and the pedicure was wonderful! The woman who did my manicure was extremely rough when taking off my gel and then filed my cuticles. This caused me to have cuts by the cuticle on several fingers. I told her it hurt and looking back I should have asked someone else to complete my manicure. Although they are small cuts, it still hurts almost 24 hours later.

Honestly SO amazing!!!! I don’t got to nail salons very often, so it’s often pretty intimidating for me but Nail Care and Spa made me feel so comfortable from the second that I walked in. I got a gel mani and pedi and they had two techs working on me at the same time! I was out in 1.5 hrs and they constantly checked up on me to make sure my water/towel weren’t too hot, my nail was the right shape, and that they were doing okay. The appointment was full of compliments and I really appreciate how patient they were with me. I will most definitely be coming back:) total came out to $91. and I threw in a $10 tip for each tech that worked on me. Stellar service.

They were very kind to accept me as a walk-in for a pedicure that I badly needed. I got the deluxe package which was very affordable, and the experience was superb. I would recommend this place very highly if you are in the San Diego area, especially if you are downtown.

Definitly recommend! Service was great, they took me in right away without an appointment. I got the dip polish with tips and they had me in and out in 45 minutes and my nails came out great! Thank you again!

This is my first week in California, and I decided to get my nails done for the first time in San Diego. I got a pedicure and a new set today. The pedicure was 5 stars, I love how my toes look. My acrylics are the main reason Im giving 2 stars. I asked for round NUDE nails. Im assuming she just used a translucent powder and translucent pink nail polish. The shaping is also rough. All my nails are different shapes and sizes and some are longer than the others.

Excellent service! I was able to make a same day appointment for the services I needed easily. It was my fist time visiting Nail Care & Spa, the staff were friendly and flexible when I called to let them know I was running late to my appointment due to parking (since the salon is located downtown and my appointment was on a busy Saturday) Both of the nail techs that worked with me were attentive to all the little details (that matter the most to us customers), clean application, appropriate nail care prep, all the above! My nails were done nearly 3 weeks now and I haven’t had any lifting, chipping, or other issues. My pedicure was fabulous and I appreciated how promptly the staff cleaned not only the foot bath but the complete chair after a client left. The price for everything was lower than I expected for the quality of service and I was thrilled to tip a little extra than I had planned.Overall it was a treat to find this place, and I will be going back!

My mother and I visited this salon for the first time and all I can say is double Wow. Ti gave me the most relaxing foot massage and the rest of the ladies did an outstanding job on my mothers feet. This salon is built on professional women who knows about nail care and the beauty of art. I will be back when I visit again.

Sophie is amazing!! She did my nails for my wedding and I loved them. I just moved back to Cali after being in South Carolina for the Navy and let me tell you, I have HORROR stories when it comes to getting my nails done. The reviews didn’t lie, she delivered and then some! She will absolutely be my go to from here on out. Everybody was very welcoming and they have a very clean establishment.

This is my new favorite nail salon. I had a great experience, the prices are reasonable and the staff was so nice and did a great job.

Not a fancy place, but they have good prices, service, staff, and location. They check all the boxes and do a Great job. I will return next time Im in town.

Got a gel manicure and pedicure. It was only about 40 minutes with 2 ladies working on my nails. They did a really great job!

The lady who did my nail was amazing. I showed her a photo from my phone and asked her if she could do this. And she said she could. My nails were done with gel nail polish, and they have lasted me 3 weeks so far.

I came in here as soon as they opened and was sat down in a chair right away. I love my manicure and the nail tech was very nice!

Booked 5 pedis and 1 Mani about a week in advance and they were awesome. Made sure we all sat together, and finished around the same time. Even provided some foam flip flops since we all showed up in heels. A lot of us chose the Simpli Pedicure and added on the callus remover.

I got my Gel RX done with Sophie she was amazing and super sweet. Attention to detail is on point. And an amazing pedicure from Thi! My two favorite ladies. Definitely a hidden gem in the heart of downtown SD

Katy is my girl! She is sweet and listens all your requests. İt is better to have appointment but sometimes they have opening randomly. I am so happy with my bails. We did gel nailpolish ,I paid $37 it is just great :)

Always have time to fit me in, reasonable prices and they do a great job! I come every 3 weeks for a fill and every 2 months for a gel pedicure. Great service, they always help me find the colors I want.

UPDATE: they got in contact with me and fixed my nails with no hesitation I’m very appreciative (:I got these done on Friday and it is now Sunday. I took a shower on Friday and it looked like they started melting (you can see the black part caving in). Yesterday two of them fell off and now a third one is breaking off. They looked good when I walked out of the store but it’s annoying I paid $60 for them to last two hours.

I am blown away by the amount of 5 star reviews on here. I’ll start off with that I made an appointment to get full mani/pedis with my wife. The got to me right away and made my wife wait 30mins to start and were short and snippy with her. She chose a color from the selection THEY told us to choose from and then eye rolled and said we can’t have those colors because they’re gel. Then they did such a terrible job that we had to take off the polish when we got home and our cuticles were ripped and the whole experience was stressful. Idk if it’s because she’s visibly darker then me or we’re queer but I will never come back here.

My first experience was fantastic here. Kimberly did the most beautiful job and was so kind and professional. I am so in love with my nails and I will definitely be back!

Haven’t been in a while and missed Kim doing my nails! She’s the best! Happy to be back!

Great experience, I was taken care of promptly(and for a new set the timing was great) and I love my new nails…. I will definitely come back. Thank you

Absolutely love this place! Kim always kills it and staff is extremely kind. I always feel welcomed and cared for when I come in.

Wow! Amy did a luxurious spa pedicure with gel nail polish. She was very attentive to my needs and very professional throughout the entire pedicure. Very relaxing experience. I would give it a 10 out of 10. Thanks so much for your awesome client service. I am so happy with the amazing results. I would highly recommend. I will be back soon. Oh yeah, I was a walk in first time trying there salon. I was very impressed. Thanks so much

Great job and good service overall - got a gel mani and a regular pedicure as a walk in on a Thursday lunch time. Asked for three coats in the gel mani because felt that the paint was too thin (see-through looking) with just two coats. They were great and accommodating about it which I appreciate because I’ve asked at other nail salons with less than warm responses. Two ladies did my feet and hands at the same time, which is great if you’re short on time but may feel less relaxing since you need to be mindful of both services at once. Top quality job on both services! Would go back and would recommend

Professional and friendly. I did a gel refill and its really well done.

I was visiting San Diego from out-of-state and needed to get my nails done for a wedding. I did not have an appointment and walked in hoping I would be able to get service. They fit me in for both a pedicure and acrylic manicure. One of the best manicures I have ever received. Will return next time I’m back in San Diego!

My nails were nicely done and only were $55. If I ever come back to San Diego, this is where I will go.

What a Gem to find downtown. Had my mother in law and teen with me for some quality time. Our first time here. My mother in law has had a terrible pedicure experience in the past, so she was hesitant. She agreed and after could not stop talking about how much attention, care, gentleness received, and positive experience she now has. My daughter’s French tip gel mani came out beautiful. My mani (pictured) came out beautiful. Context, I had taken off the hard gel and my nails were brittle and “thin”. I usually have longer nails but the tech was gentle and I love my short natural looking nails.My tech also did a perfect job on my uneven brows.Other notes: clean, patient, quick, hot water, hot towel, good massage, 2 hour parking lot $20 if you don’t find street parking, cheese danish next door is delicious!

Obsessed! Hand down best pedicure in not only all of San Diego but anywhere I’ve ever been. The #4 includes at least 5 or 6 different leg massages. Such great prices and they actually take their time. I always wait to go back here when I’m in town. The wax treatment with a final massage is the icing on the cake.

Katie always does such a great job. I got a gelX fill and it looks amazing

Desperately needed a few tips after biting mine off. Sophia was great & my nails look awesome! Thank G-d for glue & tips!

I had a ripped nail (ew) and Mary did her magic with a dip nail? and it looks amazing!! This is my second gel so I was very nervous about finding a trustworthy place and with this experience I’ll absolutely be back!

Service was great but the smell of chemical walking into the shop literally hurt my eyes and my nose. I felt sorry for the ladies who works there so I tipped them more than usual.

Beautiful job! They sat me down as soon as I got in with out an appointment. Got me out quick. And I was satisfied

My nail tech was very quick and my nails turned out beautiful

I’ve been going here for a couple of years now and they do the most consistently great work! All of the ladies are great at what they do!

Just moved to the neighborhood and I was able to book a facial and Joe ask manicure today. Wonderful staff Kim does an amazing job and Christi is super helpful as well! Looking forward to my next appointment with them 😃

Got my wedding nails done here! They turned out beautiful. They went above and beyond to make it a beautiful experience. Thanks Kim and to the person who did my manicure. Love love love ❤️

Toes and fingers are beautifully shaped and polished! Relaxing massage, clean facility and friendly staff.

Just moved to San Diego from Colorado and went here for my nails and eyebrows and she did a gorgeous job. Just had the fall ones done 11.15.23 ! By Sophia

My favorite nail spot downtown. Love this color for spring! They do such great work & so friendly. Try your best to make an appointment. So much easier for everyone & if you call early when they open, they can usually fit you in. 🥰

The place is really cute and clean and the staff was super nice. I got a basic pedicure and a full set of acrylics and it was only $90 for my entire purchase. Highly recommend.

Amy is amazing! She went above and beyond and I had the best pedicure.I also had my acrylics done by Sofia and she is fast and does an amazing job. I strongly recommend this place.

Super happy with the service and friendly staff. Sophia does amazing job!!

Outstanding nail artists and very good service. My nails look incredible! Super happy and the foot massage is beyond relaxing . Made my Christmas

I got the best pedicure Ive had in a while from Nail Care and Spa. The foot massage was amazing, and I loved the service and colors

I came into town from the North East. I totally forgot to get my feet done. I didnt want to pay an exorbitant amount at my hotel. I found this place right downtown. Very friendly, short wait with no appointment and they did a great job. I highly recommend this salon!

Sophia is perfection. The staff member who took down my appointment was very sweet and pleasant on the phone. I will definitely come back in the future whenever I am in the area . Great ladies Thank you so much!

Great quality and value. Comparable price to other areas. One of the best pedicures Ive ever received. My service did not feel rushed.

Im always kind of nervous but theyre really nice and professional. The place is clean and theyre very patient with a shy customer. Came out feeling relaxed and happy with the work they did on my hands and feet.

Amy was awesome. I needed a facial wax and she got me with in 5 minutes. She was gentle and fast. I will be back in 2 weeks for touch ups. Thank you Amy. Tip in cash. The have an ATM for convenience.

I’ve been coming here for the last few months. Every time, it’s been such a wonderful experience.- The manicurists here are perfectionists. They have never cut my cuticle or made me bleed (which most nail places have to me, unfortunately.)- They do nails so perfectly!!! See picture.- The salon doesn’t staaank of nail polish and remover like most salons. Yes, the smell is there but it’s pretty minimal.- They’re really nice and always take me on time when I walk in for an appointment.

Thi did a fantastic job. I usually go to LV nails and wasn’t as happy with my manicures. They look perfect

Got the TLC pedicure and it was amazing! The massage was delightful. I will be returning!

After looking at nail salons all over downtown San Diego, I decided to stop by and see if they had anytime for a walk in. I immediately got in and just got a gel manicure. In my hometown I’ve always just gotten an acrylic set but with me being here for an extended period of time I decided it would be fun to get my nails done with something simple and “long lasting”. They turned out great with a great price! I would go back there if I actually lived here or am going to be here longer. I did noticed a few walk ins that were able to be taken care of in a timely manner, so that seems to be popular here. It was a plus for me! My only advice is to preplan your walking route if you choose to walk there. 8th and 9th street coming from ash street are very populated with homeless crowding the sidewalks with tents. Coming from 9th street I decided to detour to 7th as I was walking alone and then cut across. It’s definitely not their fault but just some advice!

First full set and they did a GREAT job. Im so obsessed!! When I came out people already commented on how cute and beautiful my nails are! And its so relaxing and calm 😌 Defiantly recommend!

My nail technician is Kimberly. She is the greatest! I love coming here to get my mani/pedi. People are friendly and it’s so relaxing!

Would definitely recommend coming here! Very satisfied with the service. Everyone was nice and professional. Definitely coming back. And affordable.

Stopped in here while in town for a conference. Sophia did my manicure and it was one of the best mani experiences Ive ever had! I usually get clear dip + gel at home because my nails are very thin and gel isnt enough structure to keep them from breaking. Usually when I go elsewhere, theyre unable to do this for me, so I was expecting just gel this time. I asked if she could do the dip, and she did exactly what my tech at home does. Shape, color, experience, massage - all 10/10. Highly recommend!!!

Absolutely the sweetest nail techs Ive ever dealt with. Stellar service at a fair price.

Great place. Christine, the owner always welcoming and smiling! Love Julie!

Great experience! My pedicure is perfect, the staff were professional and kind. Highly recommend!

Ladies there were so nice and gave my bestie and me a great mani and pedi

I had the best pedicure today and will definitely be back, thank you so much!

They do an amazing job! Great service every time. I get gel pedicures and powder manicures. Plenty of colors to choose from. Prices are in line with any other salon. I’m a repeat customer.

A very nice place to get your nails done. Professional gel manicure.

Excellent service, lots of hot towels. Enjoyed very much! Highly recommended! I had the spa pedicure and gel toes. 😊

Just walked into this busy place and was seated immediately. I haven’t had a pedicure in over 2 years. My feel needed it. The lady did a Fantastic job. If I lived in the area, this would be my place to go.

Dope place!I kinda get a specific type of nail and looked at 5 other places.. Annie took her time and made sure and confermed everything was exactly what I wanted.. my broken phone doesnt do the job justice... everything was nice clean, up to date . . Annie even had a new type of quiet dermal.. and the place is every aired out.. not a air freshener that just mixes acrylic smell and the fragrance... I mean I didnt even smell nail salon..🎩😎/

Loved it. Got a gel manicure for $35

I don’t recommend this place.I wanted to as I live a block away, but my manicure was horrible my nails are uneven and so bumpy! Julie was very nice but seemed new and I am Not happy with them at all.My thumbs look like completely different from one another, can’t be fixed bc she cute them that way.I would not recommend her. I would have stayed for her to fix them but had to leave.She took very long too.My pedicure was great, Coi did a lovely job and was very detailed. Toe nails are perfect!Only reason I have this place 2 stars.Most the workers seemed sick as they kept coughing and sneezing and they did not wear mask. They should wear mask if they are sick. Seemed they all had the same thing.It’s not a modern clean atmosphere if that’s what you’re looking for. It was just ok.

Friendly, Quick, Clean Affordable!

I can here a few weeks ago for a full set and I took them off today and have a fungus under the nail that I did not have before! Improper technique or dirty tools! I’ve never had this happen in my life… I will never come here again! 🤮

Came here as a walk in and was seen right away. Staff worked quickly and efficiently. I appreciated that no one tried to constantly upsell me on anything either, which is typical in most nail salons. Huge selection of nail colors and services. Paid via Venmo.

These ladies are so welcoming 💕 The quality of my gel pedicure is GREAT every time, no matter who does my nails. I especially like how they don’t use electric tools to remove my old gel. It’s easy to pay too, as they accept app payments like Venmo and Zelle.

The ladies here are amazing! It’s my regular spot and I highly recommend it! I broke a thumb nail down in the quick and thought I was going to lose it, but Christine worked her magic and saved it! Always so friendly and attention to detail is excellent! Not to mention the out of this world hand/arm massages!🥰 thank you!

My first time here and it was very pleasant. Staff here is welcoming and do great work.

I wish I could give them ten stars ⭐️ they did a amazing job got my eyebrows, nails and toes done they didn’t rush took they’re time to make sure it came out perfect and it did 😍extremely nice people there too very clean and they had very peaceful music playing so that you can just relax and enjoy the experience🧘‍♀️ I definitely 110% recommend going here I love this place👍🏻

Great little nail salon in East Village. Clean, comfortable and fantastic service.

Im here for work and decided to walk in. Had a Mani Pedi from Julie and it was amazing, she really took her time and did a wonderful job! Best pedicure Ive had in forever! And the massage was absolutely out of this world! Cant wait to come back!

THI was exceptionally attentive. One of the best pedicures I have ever had. I love the attention to detail and her kindness. My new favorite nail salon.

Always experience above bar. Very clean and wonderful people and customer service.

They rushed my dip powder nails they are all different shapes super uneven and they did not take the time to clean up my toes for the pedicure or even do any of the things that were included in the pedicure. Only thing they did was soak my feet and add polish. And they cut my toenail and then put acetone on it. The ladies were also extremely rude. Definitely do not recommend. I would not come back here.

My wife and I got the full spa pedicure and it was amazing. The staff was friendly and professional. 10 out of 10 would go again.

I was in town for a conference and decided to treat myself to an ultimate manicure after the exhausting few days. I walked in and they were able to seat me within a few minutes. The scrub and arm massage were amazing and my nails haven’t looked this good in years. I highly recommend!

Ive been going here for years! I love them, they are kind and friendly and I never, never leave without perfect amazing toes. Never. Like guaranteed and it doesnt matter who helps me. And Ill be honest I dont think they charge enough. Paid parking near by.

I love this place! Stopped here because I just happened to be in the neighborhood and now this is my favorite place to get my nails done! The staff are so friendly and patient, my nails always look great when I leave and the prices are very fair too.Thank you for always making me feel welcome!See you all soon!

I’m so glad I took the chance and tried this place. I am quite loyal, so once a place has earned my business it’s theirs to lose. After too many lifted nails to count at my old salon coupled with numerous attempts to make it right, I finally tried a new shop. This one is established and had great reviews. The big bonus is that it is just a short walk from my house in east village.My nail tech was Kim. She advised me that a new set was in order and I agreed. I asked for ombré pink and white. She did a beautiful job. My nails are shaped beautifully and look clean and classic with an edge due to their coffin shape.I also had a gel polish change on my toes. They also turned out great.The shop is clean and simple but relaxing with spa music playing. It is centrally located and has a pay parking lot half a block away for those who don’t want to fight street/ metered parking.Overall it was a great experience. I’ll be back and can easily imagine this place becoming the go to neighborhood spot I’ve been hoping to find.

Best nail salon in downtown, friendly and welcoming staff,I highly recommend this place!

Excellent service and work!! I was so happy with everything.

First time visiting nail care & spa, I decided to take my mother in law for a treat while she visited. Our Apt was at 10:30 for manis and pedis, we came about 10-15 minutes early for our appointment. Two ladies were behind us in line and were able to get seen right away. My mother in law got called next. I’ve waited more than 20 minutes to get seen from my appointment time, which was at 10:30 with Sophie. Kim took my mother in law right away. However first impression was very much ruined. Also a simple nail design couldn’t be done and I couldn’t get the color I wanted. I didn’t even get my pedi done and wanted to get out of there asap.

It was the most pleasant place I’ve been to in San Diego. Love them. So friendly and professional. Amy did my gel pedicure and she was so gentle and kind and my toes look amazing. I found my go to spot!! So happy!!

I took my boyfriend and i here to get pedicures. We are temporary staying in the area and are from the east coast. Nail care and spa was amazing! They took their time and did an amazing job. Every step of the way they maximized the opportunity to massage my legs and feet - which is my favorite part. My boyfriend works on his feet and they looked fresh again!EDIT: this was a five star review for the pedicure but then i went back and got a facial. Literally TERRIBLE. I could go on and on but the product were NOT organic, it smelt like she was using Mr.Clean on my face. My skin had zero pimples but i walked out looking horrific. I told her i had plans after so to make sure the extractions didn’t mess up my face and it looked so bad. I was embarrassed to walk downtown after.

Wonderful experience, very thorough and friendly staff! Had a fun time getting a manicure and pedicure here, very affordable and quality care.

In LOVE with how well they treat their customers, The massages are literally to Die for !! My nail tech Absolutely MAILS it every time !

I’m new to San Diego. I’m SO picky and have been here for a month trying to find the best place. I decided to just go and try this place and OMG I’m so glad I did! My nails where done by Kim and the shape is so good. (Again I’m super picky) and Katie did my pedicure which also… AMAZING! This will be my new go to. See you girls in 2 weeks 💖Also the people I saw docking stars due to location is insane to me! That’s not the salons fault. The homeless issue is bad everywhere and especially in CALIFORNIA!Best salon for nails and toes I have found in downtown San Diego.

I was looking for a new spot nearby since I’m new to the area, and decided to pamper my husband as well. We walked in with no expectations but left feeling absolutely amazing and grateful for the quality of service. Now we plan to visit at least once a month:)

Great place. Nice ppl. Quality good, went for gels and a repair to one nail.Unfortunately, last time I was there I used my usual card as I always do to pay and was charged $56,000+ which thankfully my cc didn’t pay and alerted me to the situation. Guessing their payment equipment not secure anymore, never happened before. Maybe a glitch ? Just a heads up.

They were very accommodating! My daughter and I walked in and they took us right away. We were from out of town and it was a great experience!

THUMBS UP!!! 👍👍Been going there for years and I always return to only this nail salon. Very friendly ladies, excellent works, and reasonably priced. They are so clean and customers safety very important to them. Highly recommended!!!

Love coming to this nail salon. They’re so friendly, efficient, and fast. I usually come in the morning when they open. Can get pretty busy quickly after they open. I got a pedicure today and my feet feel so much better. I never have a problem with their work so needless to say 10/10 again!

Very thorough pedicure! One of the best I have ever had!My feet feel and look wonderful!!

First visit was great. Ami and Christine took care of my hands and feet. The warm lotion is a nice simple addition to the massage part of the mani pedi experience. Interested in coming back to try the different pedicure options :)

Love it here. Everyone is skilled and friendly always happy with my nails after

All the people there are so nice and good at gel manicures and pedicures with amazing packages and deals. I wanted to find a good place when I move back to San Diego and have yet to be disappointed. Parking isn’t too bad there’s parking available all around the block and I would suggest making an appointment.

Incredible! Very friendly and patient staff. Probably one of the best manicures I’ve ever had. Unfortunately, I live on the east coast. If I lived here, Nail Care & Spa would be the salon I’d go to every time!

Im bad about making appointments so Im always walk-in and theyre always happy to take care of me

She did a great job, I live in Riverside County and if I can will go back to have my nail done again!💯

I highly recommend Nail Care and Spa. I have been their customer for years and can vouch for the quality of services they provide. They follow the CDC guidelines in regards to keeping the salon clean and sanitized. Excellent service at reasonable price with professional and friendly staff. Christine is very efficient with scheduling, and Sophia always does a great job with my nails and facial. You really won’t go wrong with any of the staff. All of them are excellent! Soft music and massage is super relaxing! This nail salon is my one and only— THE best!!!

INCREDIBLE!!! Nice people, excellent service. I highly recommend the ultimate manicure and pedicure with gel polish. An amazing way to relax?!

My new go to nail salon! The manager is lovely and Mihn and Julie are phenomenal nail artists who listen to exactly what you want. Very happy all around.

Was in town and staying close by and in need of a routine pedicure. Wish I had more time because I was so happy with my service I would have got more than just the basic pedicure you definitely would have added on a manicure. The lady was professional and did great work with attention to detail. Anytime Im in this area I will definitely be back.

I live DT and have been here more times then I can count. Every time I have incredible service. Detailed care with every manicure and pedicure. Respectful and talented staff! Reasonable prices for amazing work!

I really wanted to love this place because it’s in my area and chose it because of the great reviews but I had a poor experience. I set an appointment for a gel mani and reg pedi and had to wait 20 minutes upon arriving which isn’t too big of a big deal. I picked out my color and they told me they didn’t have the color I picked anymore so I chose a different one. They started the pedicure which was great but the person doing the manicure cut my cuticles the point where it hurt and she kept putting acetone in the cuts when doing the polish and I had to keep pulling my hand away because it stung. I am not normally one to write a review but now my thumb is infected and it’s painful. I will unfortunately not be returning.

I have been going to Nail Care and Spa every 2-3 weeks for the past 3 years and they do a phenomenal job. I have a career that is rough on my hands and somehow every time I come in they are able to restore my beat up paws back into soft hands with gorgeous nails. They truly take their time with every client and make sure that their work will last. On top of their attention to fine details they are also the friendliest salon I have ever been to. I appreciate their kindness all while allowing me to be a total potato instead of human. I cant recommend this salon enough!

Me and my boyfriend came in for a manicure and pedicure. The place was very clean and inviting. We were seated for our pedicure within 5 mins of checking in. Amy, Katy and Mary were so professional and attended to our needs perfectly. We will definitely visit again the next time we are visiting from Nashville. Two thumbs up!!👍🏼👍🏼

Just moved downtown SD recently from North County and was looking for a good nail salon. This one is great and I am picky. Very clean and follows all COVID rules... they even take your temperature when you walk in. Social distanced between customers.Everyone is very friendly and I just got a really nice pedicure from Sophia.So happy I found this nail salon!! Highly recommend!

I wasnt terribly impressed the first time I went here (although I will say the gel lasted a pretty long time). Second time around and Im pleased enough to write this review and will likely continue being a patron of this place.

Sofia and Amy are my nail technicians, and they are wonderful. I receive great service from the entire staff at Nail Care & Spa each time i am there. I would highly recommend this establishment. They are always busy, due to their great service, so I would suggest making an appointment 😉

Probably the best mani and pedi I have ever had for a long time- staff super friendly, prices much cheaper than other places I have tried for a more superior service. Was worried snot parking being downtown but lots of metered parking available nearby.

Very nice ladies and did a great job on my pedi

Amy did an amazing job on my gel polish manicure! She shaped my nails so perfectly and was quick and efficient! I had gone to another salon for a gel french manicure and it chipped within 3 days and was falling apart after 5. Amy did my gel polish change and I went to Crossfit literally 2 minutes later, did my intense workout and no chips at all! Every staff number was so nice and welcoming! 10/10 reccomend this salon.

I was traveling for work, and they got me Im right away. Great customer service and so easy to work with. Definitely suggest to anyone in the area!

First time here i loved it , i think the girl name is sophia she was so nice and did a great job! 😄😄

So happy ☺️ Personal fans helped keep me cool and comfortable while having my nails done (I get hot when I wear a mask). The classical piano songs playing added a really nice touch. I got the ultimate spa pedicure and a regular gel manicure and Amy was wonderful. She took her time and it felt so nice to be pampered. I’ll definitely be back.

Ive been here twice and its been good so far. Each gel pedicure Ive had so far has come out perfectly.They offer all of the usual nail and hair removal services and have 4-5 pedicure options, starting around the mid twenty dollar range and going up from there. Adding gel is about another twenty as well.The only slight negative is that there is only metered street parking here, but its in downtown, so that is to be expected. You can usually find metered parking around one of the four blocks surrounding the business, but it can be kind of uncomfortable walking to and from your car because the surrounding area is in desperate need of revitalization.

This was a 5 star experience. The team provided excellent customer service and went above and beyond when they were running behind schedule! This will be my go to nail salon when I’m in San Diego!

Went for my first time and Sophia absolutely killed my set!!! The whole staff is extremely friendly and my tech took extra time to make sure my nails were perfect. Will be returning!!!

I love this place! Christine, Sophia and all the ladies are so sweet and welcoming with consistently amazing service.

Literally the best manicure and pedicure I’ve ever gotten in my life. Incredibly sweet people wish impeccable attention to detail and fantastic long massages. Would give more than 5 stars if I could. Amazing!!!!

Would recommend their pedicure and gel mani-pedi. The regular nails isnt actually too nice. But there was no wait.. they accepted walk in and werent too exorbitant.

I love getting my pedicures here! They (Amy) always does a fantastic job and takes so much care of me every single time!

Great service but AC is not on point.

Really LOVED this place and the AMAZING pedicure they gave me! Really friendly staff and super clean! I even accidentally messed up my nail a little somehow and they fixed it up for me no problem, which I really appreciated so much! I think I’ve found my spot and I’ll definitely be back!

Ran across this little gem on a very random street corner while traveling to San Diego. They were very sweet and welcoming. My gel manicure has lasted longer than any other Ive ever had. Going on 12 days and not a chip! Great quality and tons of color choices.

Beautiful job on a dip manicure. The pedicure was lovely also, though a little rough on the trimming which made my toe bleed. Still loved the way everything turned out, though.

Currently visiting San Diego and this place was so great! I had to take a covid quiz, quick temperature check and was given hand sanitizer before & after my service! My pedicure came out perfectly and my foot massage that was included in my basic pedicure wasn’t a quick 30 second massage which was super nice and appreciated. Thanks so much, def check out!

Great experience. Was in town for work and only had limited time on Sat. They were able to get a Mani and Pedi done in just over 1 hr.Only complaint is that while the door was open at 9am, it took them 10-15 minutes to find the right person to do my nails. Made me a little nervous, but it was worth the wait!

I used to come here as a walk in very often and they always got me in and did a great job. I havent been able to get in recently and have been going to a salon down the street but I got in today and Im so excited! These ladies are so fast, friendly, and efficient. I work with my hands and am on my feet. ALOT. They are literally working miracles every time I walk in there.

The mani pedi was great but they had no drying machine and now literally almost all of my nails are smudged. And my toenail too. I’m really upset. I’ve never been to a salon with no drying machines! Air drying does NOT work

Called last minute & they were able to accommodate!! The perfect spot. My nail tech was very kindhearted & skilled, we picked a beautiful indigo blue color, she was super sweet to talk with. Had a good time, super satisfied, will be back, thank you KT!!

Txy was absolutely amazing! Her pedicure was 10/10 and the whole salon goes above and beyond to make sure their client is happy! I am from the east coast and will 10000% be visiting when I am back in San Diego! ❤️

I got the TLC mani pedi package. BEST thing I could have done for myself today. Two women work on you at once. Each take their time massaging my legs, feet, arms, and hands. Was soooo relaxing. Excellent above average service.

Sophia is amazing! She did my pedicure and was attentive and awesome. Massage felt great! The shop is clean, quiet, and relaxing. Thank you so much for my pedicure!

They are great very friendly accommodating. I’m always pleased with my nails.!!! This is one of the best salons in San Diego if not the best!!

Super clean! Paid extra close attention to annoying calluses I get on my toes (being an athlete) lots of other places do not remove them as part of the callus removal so I was super pleased! No cross contamination either. Friendly & on time! Also, GREAT MASSAGE !Regular spa pedicure $27Callus removal $7Removal of only TWO gel nails $0

First off, the location makes me uncomfortable to park in due to homeless camps, granted not their fault just a warning.As for my nails, basically all of them have broken in less than a week of getting them done. I’ve been getting dip nails for years and I’ve never had this issue so they must not be using very good powder or tools. The color didn’t wrap around my whole nail so some of my natural nail on each finger is showing which I’m not a fan of and I asked for my nails to be even to each other and they’re all kinds of different shapes and lengths, even after asking for that to be fixed.Gave 3 stars because I had an amazing pedicure and would only come back for just that.

I come every two weeks and get pedicure & acrylic nail refill with Sofia. Excellent service. I get compliments on my nails ALL the time. Great massage on the pedicure. Leave with my feet feeling smooth as a baby’s butt!

Very polite and accommodating staff. Excellent mani Pedi. I suggest appointment because it can be crowded at times. I love to give their TLC pedicure gift certificates to friends too.

Professional, efficient, kind and accommodating. Great work. Great experience.

UPDATE 3/30/2021: My last review below was right before new management took over in 2019, but since then, service has been Excellent!! Amy, Christina & the rest of the staff are great at what they do and Ive been a happy & steady customer for over a year now!!-Everyone was very polite, but the Polish started to peel the first day and I noticed, once I was outside in natural light, that there were brush marks from when she used the paintbrush to clean the edges if my nails of extra polish. It was ok but I wont be going back; that was not a $65 mani/pedí that was worth the money.

Had such a great overall experience at Nail care & Spa! One of the best pedicures I’ve ever received hands down. They were so kind and the calf/foot massage was so relaxing. They have a good polish selection and great prices. Will be coming back often!! Thank you Nail care & Spa!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

It was a pleasure and enjoyable experience, that is why I continue to go back!

I really do not understand these positive reviews! The place is a mess - not clean as others have said. It was not a nice mani/pedi at all. They were fast and showed little care. The gel mani turned out ok (not a nice mani, but the paint looks fine). Pedicure was god awful - a total messy paint job. Would never get another pedi here.

It was a great experience my nail tech was very attentive made sure everything was to my liking. I got the TLC #3 pedi i recommend it!!! Great price for everything and the time they give you. Doesnt matter if they are busy they still took their time with me

I’ve been coming here for a few years now and I love this place! It’s extremely clean and they take many precautions since COVID. I always have my nails and waxing done with Sophia. She is a gem!

The lady who did my nails and wax was very patient, she knew how to help me and the massage on my feet was very relaxing, thank you Nail care & spa!!!!

This was the best pedicure I have ever received. I went on a Wednesday morning when they weren’t too busy and the lady took her time. I will definitely return in the future. I felt so relaxed afterwards.

This is the best pedicure and manicure I’ve ever gotten, I truly cannot recommend this place enough! Everyone who works here is so nice and considerate. Thank you!!!!

Mary was awesome as usual! Great attention to detail when my gel nails - not missing any polish near the edges or cuticles! And the arm massage was 100! I would pay solely for this service!

Our favorite nail salon in downtown San Diego. The salon is super clean and they take great care to ensure abide by Covid regulations. The staff is always incredibly professional and they go out of their way to give you the best experience.

Ive been going to this place for a few years... they have friendly and skilled employees here (downtown) for manicure/pedicure/massage. We always get the Ultimate which is well worth the money ...if you have leg/arm muscle kinks (that you maybe didnt even know you had) ask for AMY ...she will hit you up! ...pressure points, toxin release she knows wth shes doing!

Love this place so much. Everyone is always really nice and they text me back right away anytime I have a question or want to make an appointment. I’ve been coming here for ages and I am really happy I found this place!

I love this salon! They accommodate for last minute appointments and take walk-ins. They’re super nice and will go above and beyond to meet your needs, you just have to communicate them :)

Came here for a pedicure and I was very satisfied with the service. The shop is clean and welcoming & the staff was very friendly. Will definitely be coming back next time I’m in San Diego.

Very genuine, polite and professional staff. My manicure was one of the best that I’ve ever received. Not only was it thoroughly performed in a timely manner, it was accompanied with a relaxing hand/forearm massage and warm towel to top it off. I was extremely impressed and I highly recommend.

I’ve been coming to Nail Care and Spa for years. Sophia is absolutely amazing! Very friendly and super consistent. Highly recommend to make a reservation but walk-ins are very welcome. Love this place!

They told me my nails were dry after being there for an hour and a half, they weren’t and instead of fixing one or two that were messed up she took them all off. I’m furious wasted time and money

Very friendly and accommodating to my schedule however I was unimpressed with the service itself. I wish I would have done the basic pedicure instead of the luxury because I dont feel like it was worth the price difference. Overall decent experience.

I work long hours in heavy boots, this was just what I needed. There are many services offered including multiple options for pedicures. I chose the pedicure with callous removal and it was worth it. The specialist cleaned and treated my feet and then massaged my lower legs and feet. She worked out some kinks in my feet that I didn’t know would go away with a foot rub! Facility was clean and the staff were polite.

Always great service. They are so kind and fast

Very good customer service. Nice work on gel nails and the time is good. They get you in and out quick. Clean and fresh, does not smell bad. Soothing music and overall relaxing experience.

I had the most relaxing and well-performed manicure and pedicure here! The entire staff are so friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend Nail Care & Spa and cannot wait to come back!

What an amazing experience! They at really take their time and give a phenomenal massage with the pedicures. I’m excited to come back!

I love this place! They always do a great job and make you feel so welcome and comfortable. I live five minutes away so I always come here, it’s the best!

This place is the ultimate hidden gem! I’ve never been disappointed. All of the employees are kind and have great attention to detail. I will never go anywhere else in San Diego!

Annie saved my messed up and falling off acrylics from the last place I visited. Shes very sweet and understanding of what I want. Ive been paying the same price for fills at a lot of other places that dont even measure up to how pleasant my experience was here

Hands down, best pedicure I’ve ever had.

Great Salon. Very clean and professional. Lee was friendly and accommodating and she. did a fabulous job with my mani, pedi and eyebrow wax. Will definitely go back if Im ever in San Diego again.

Checked in and waited 5 min. Great massage and pedicure and the ladies opened brand new packaging of everything on each person. Very very clean. Super friendly! Definitely coming back

They are the best! Friendly and professional! They do my nails, toes and waxing. Kimberly does my nails and wax, Amy does my pedicures. Very clean. Im thinking about trying out one of their facials.

I love everything about this place! All of them do a great job with nails, they are clean, friendly and have great customer service! Sophia and Amy are amazing, my nails are always on point 😍

Both technicians did an excellent job!

Amy and Katy did an amazing job!!! Great customer service. Pedi and gelX/lume gel mani. Thanks!

Kim was extremely kind and made sure I was happy and comfortable throughout the whole experience as this was my first time getting acrylic nails. Extremely happy I found a new nail salon!

Mary (gel mani) & Amy (pedi) OUTSTANDING! They are both so sweet, kind and professional. Actually. All the techs in this salon are wonderful☺️

I have been using Nail Care and Spa for a few months now and every time it’s an amazing experience. Every one of the nail techs is super friendly, they take they time with each service and do a flawless job! Thank you so much :)

It was my second time here. Loved my gel manicure and T did an amazing job on my pedicure! Definitely coming back

My technician provided an excellent experience. She was time efficient without rushing. My paint job was phenomenal and I left feeling well pampered.

Great service! This was the best pedicure I’ve ever had. I used the luxury spa. They spent a lot of time on my feet and massaged most of the time which I liked. Thank you!

They really adhere to covid guidelines, so you feel very safe. Plus they do an EXCELLENT job. Taking time to really pay attention to details. Definitely worth the money and time, plus they are super considerate! 100% would go back
