Fantastic Hair & Nails

I seriously got the worst hair cut in my life here! I normally prefer to give good reviews over bad reviews. But my experience here was so bad that I feel obligated to warn anybody else considering getting a haircut here. All I wanted was a simple bang trim. I normally go anywhere to get a bang trim because it’s easy and anybody with some basic experience should be able to do it right. A simple bang trim was too difficult for the 2 ladies who cut my hair. Yes, it took 2 ladies to cut my bangs and they still screwed up!
I was very specific on where I wanted my bang length to be and even put my hand as a line on my forehead to indicate the length. I first had 1 lady work on my hair and I did not realize she didn’t know what she was doing. I started to get really worried when I saw how horribly crooked my bangs were but I kept quiet because I was thinking she was not done and will straighten it out. Then a second lady who was watching starts saying something to her in Vietnamese and takes over the cutting. She’s speaking to her in Vietnamese probably saying «you have to cut this way and you’re doing it wrong» and proceeds to show her how to cut my hair.
And now I’m sitting there thinking OMG. What the heck are these women doing! When she’s done, my bangs are ridiculously short and thin. I wanted my hair to cover my eyebrows and it was only covering half my forehead! I looked awful and I now have to wait a few months to have it grow out to a reasonable length.
Do not go to this place to get your haircut unless you want the worst haircut of your life!

The staff is fantastic. I recommend nail, pedicure, waxing and hair services. Have been coming here for years and never been disappointed.

The first time I went to Fantastic Nails was ok. my full set looked really good, although I thought she filed them a little too thin, I don’t know her name because she barely talked to me, but oh well, they looked good. The lady who did my pedicure, did a nice job, but when it came time to paint my tootsies Oh Lordy… I had showed her a pic of what I wanted it to look like, not only was it nothing like what I asked for, it wasn’t even the right color! Not sure if it was my fault for not communicating, but I thought the picture I showed spoke for itself.
Then the 2^nd time I went there was a Friday afternoon, they were busy but they were able to get me in. Twee did my nails and she was an angel. I loved her, she’s not very talkative, but WAY more than the other 2 ladies I encountered. She did a rockstar job on my nails especially since they were a MESS. I waited too long to get them filled and she basically had to almost do them completely over but still charged me a fill price, and they looked incredible. I was stoked at the service she gave me and I will definitely be going back again! Thanks Twee for being a badass!

I have been to so many nail salons over the years. But because I’ve had the fake nails for so long my natural nails are in terrible shape. Thin, brittle, and grow very slowly. For the past year I’ve been going to a shop in lakeside. It’s a bit of a drive but because I’ve always liked the quality of the work, I kept going back… until last time. Long story short, the woman did exactly the opposite of what I asked and ripped my nail off the bed. Most of my nails fell off within a week and they hurt. I saw the reviews of tweet and her crew on Unilocal and decided to give it a shot. While taking my nails off to give me a new set, one was so thin it wouldn’t come off and was bleeding so bad. All 3 ladies helped take it off with minimal pain. (There was no way around the pain) they were absolutely the friendliest, sweetest women I’ve ever had do my nails. Tiffany was awesome! She took her time, which I appreciate because id rather it be done well than quickly and sloppy and she did them so this problem won’t arise again. The price was so fair. And I do not have anything bad to say about my experience. I will definitely be returning.

Tweet! Been going to see tweet for 8 years she does the absolute BEST job. On eyebrows. I drive from chulavista just to see her I don’t go anywhere but here she knows what I like and how to get my shape back .I have brought friends to get their eyebrows done by her and they always leave happy and continue only to go see her.

This place is a joke. Thought I’d try it out because of the reviews. Was accosted by both salons in the parking lot, couldn’t even get out of my car. The service was friendly but that was about it. Floors were dirty, water in the pedicure chair was cold. Their polish selection is non existent. I settled in for my pedicure and couldn’t turn the chair on because they had wrapped so many layers of grocery bags over the remote that I couldn’t see. Not one magazine in site and after asking 3 times she finally brought me a hair cutting styles magazine that was a year old. Then came the fun part…
Nikki filed the skin off the tips of my toes, cut one cuticle so deep that I jumped, got two toes in and on the third little toe she cut a GAPING hole in the side of my nail bed. Before I could start cussing she grabbed the super glue and was squirting half the bottle in my open wound. Maybe for a paper cut but not for an open wound that is STILL BLEEDING after applying pressure for ½ hour. All she could do was keep asking if I had diabetes!!! Then the wierd ‘bouncer’ looking guy hanging out in the corner did the same, came over and asked what was wrong with ME… do you have a blood disorder or something? Diabetes?
WT EVERLOVING F%*
All this time she poured anesthetic, cuticle oil, tried to reach for the super glue again and then pulled some vile from the back and tried to dump that on my toes too. I finally had to scream NO!!! before she got te hint that I didn’t want these unknown chemicals poured into my open wound.
She said sorry… but WTF?!
Not sure how she’s going to paint my nail without getting polish in my cut… that is still bleeding at 4:47. She started at 4.
So UNIMPRESSED. OH wait a minute… the lady beside me just burned her client with hot water. Sure would have been nice to have some of that hot water in my ice cold chair!
One last hoorah… the bitch just poured rubbing alcohol in my cut!!!
Omgosh it just doesn’t stop! A different lady on the OTHER side of me came in to get her face fixed b/​c Nikki did her color yesterday and left a ½ inch brown dye line on her face! Ears and all.

kim does a very poor job on men’s nails. she doesn’t have a clue!!!

Tweet does great eyebrows! Best in SD!

They do such a great job! Any kind of design you want, they can do it! I always get lots of complements on my nails! Price is not bad either, especially for the quality. Highly recommend coming here!

I heard about this place from my friend’s sister. I got tired of driving from Lakeside all the way to LA Nails in Plaza Bonita; they seemed to be the only nail shop that did a decent job, but I wanted something closer. Fantastic Nails is a nice little spot. You can either park in the front or behind the salon. The lady who took care of me did a very good job with my gel fill, and she made sure they dried all the way before I left. A lot of places will tell you it’s dry and by the time you get home, sometimes even a couple hours later, the gel smudges. I was very happy this wasn’t the case. For a gel fill and a pedi, it’s $ 43 excluding the tip, which is pretty standard for a decent quality nail shop. I’ll definitely be going back!

I made an appointment with Twee based on Unilocal reviews. I don’t have $ 50 dlls to spend on the luxury of having acrylic nails at a fancy spa (I also like to have enough to give a decent tip) so I tried to find a local nail salon with economic prices. I found Fantastic Hair and Nails with amazing reviews. I made my appt and showed up on time, I told the lady I was there for an appointment and she said OK, nothing more.
I sat down with my friend and patiently waited… I felt a little embarrassed because I had rushed my friend to be on time to the appointment. Fifteen minutes later we decided to go somewhere else and the lady rushed after us, I said OK and went back in. My friend stuck to her decision of going elsewhere.
She worked long and detailed on my nails. When she was putting gel on my nail I asked what that was… this I guess is the top layer that goes on top of the acrylic to make it shiny.
I saw bubbles on my nails which I thought were caused by the gel, so I told her I did not like it and if she could remove it and use nail polish, she seemed really bothered by it (I had asked if she had to use it when she was just beginning so that I could make a choice) but she did it and I did appreciated that. I told her I wanted to be happy with her work so that I would come back.
End result, my nails still had bubbles which could have been caused by the acrylic mix or the gel, and two small glitter specks. The customer service was not the greatest but I could tell she was trying. My nails look pretty good from a far but if you see them up close you can see bubbles and bits of glitter. If you don’t mind and want to pay less then it’s a good deal. If you are anal like me… bubbles will really annoy you.
To be fair I am very particular with this type of work and I would need awesome service and perfect results to give a business five stars. I may give this place another try and go from there.

I’m getting married very soon so I started looking for a great place to get my nails done. Originally I thought the more expensive the better, but I was wrong. I just ended up paying more for the same thing =P Anyway, I found this place by checking out reviews on this website. I came I got both my nails and a pedicure. The service was great and my nails and toes look awesome! I have been back ever since and I will be getting my nails done here for the big day =)

Yep as five stars says: It’s as good as it gets! I got my nails done here twice and a pedicure and will never go anywhere else. They are so creative and really take the time to make it perfect. They have plenty of books for you to look at but what I like is they have actual pictures of other people’s nails they have done in photo albums too.
The place is kind of small and I recommend making an appointment if you don’t like waiting. The last design I go tI created out of my head and they accomplished exactly what I was thinking. I spent about 60.00 for my nails and toes so I think this was very resonable. Plus they last at least a month which is incredible! The place also does waxing and hair so I don’t know how they are in those areas but nails A+

I was reffered here by my friend and I am so glad I found this place! Tweet does the most amazing eyebrows ever. She took a lot of time to tweeze mine and trim them to make them just perfect. I will be back to check out the nail services.

So I have defected from my home nail salon! I couldn’t help it!
The lady, Tweet, who got my eyebrows to grow back properly, opened up her own shop! I had to follow…
So now, Lee does my nails (also from the other salon) and she does facials! Who knew?!
The shop is great, convenient and right next to a bar… BONUS

I have been here 4 times since this place just opened. They have wonderful service and many beautiful designs. They also have many colors and different style acrylics to chose from. Its very convenient since i can get my haircut, eyebrow waxed, nails, and pedicure done. I notice all there tools are very clean and neat. The prices are very affordable and reasonable. The nails i got last a very long time, it did not lose color or turn yellow. I am very happy and satisfied with the results! I do recommend this store to everyone!
