Simply Nails and Spa

DO NOT PURCHASE A GROUPON. Two weeks ago I called Simply Nails and told them that my groupon was expiring in a week and I was out of town. I asked if I could still redeem the groupon the following Friday, the lady said yes just call and make an appointment first. I called today to make an appointment and she informed me that she will not accept the groupon. She said they are under new management and don’t have the money??? I explained to her that the amount I paid for the groupon NEVER expires and she has to let me use it. She is refusing to let me use the value I paid towards a pedicure. I have contacted groupon to let them know. BEWARE!!!

Another great job! I love their gel manicure and spa pedicure! The owners are very nice too. I don’t get to La Mesa often but when I need a mani pedi, and I have time, I go here because they appreciate the business and I am very comfortable here.

Horrible service! She told me the gel polish would last 3 weeks but it chipped after 3 days. I went in two days in a row to get the two nails fixed and she didn’t have time. Seems like only one woman does the work there. She refused to give me a refund even though she didn’t have time to fix my nails. I definitely don’t recommend this place. Waste of money!

What isn’t to like here… It is clean, the staff are all very nice, the music is relaxing and the prices are great! Not sure why anyone would complain!

Wow! Why didn’t I find this place sooner?
I’m not sure why this place has low ratings when their customer service and performance is beyond great!
I got my shellac manicure offer from groupon and I had to make an appt. Nina was nice enough to let me change the time of my appt 3 times! She was very courteous and welcoming.
I got my spa pedicure for only $ 15! And Amber did it for me. I love how she took the time and effort to really clean my nails. She was very meticulous which I loved! I felt very comfortable and pampered.
They have great service and cheap prices! I’m definitely coming back ;)

Looks good to me! My mom and I were concerned about this place because of the previous reviews but they were great to me! i got a gel manicure and it was perfect :) close to state and the best price around! Not very fancy but I would highly recommend it for anyone. Especially college students.

I came here bc I saw it as I was driving by. I had an hour to kill and figured that’s plenty of time for a pedicure. Not here. I come on and the guy at the front told me there was a 5 minute wait. Fine. No problem. Totally manageable. He sets up the chair and the water and then I end up waiting 25 minutes. Ridiculous. I really should be just left but it was the only time I had available and I’ve gotten pedis in 30 mi used before so I figured it was still salvageable. The tech and and the guy both said it’d be done in 30 minutes. 25 minutes goes by and base coat hasn’t even been applied yet. So I ended up having to leave. It’d be pointless to go through with the paint and not have it dry. So I left. They discounted a whole 5 $ from the 25 $ price and I let him know why I was leaving. I let him know to give more realistic tome frames. If I’d known I was going to wait 25 minutes I would have left right.

This place sucks. Nuff said. Don’t even waste your time or money going here. If I could give them 0 stars, I would have.

Very nice service, I can’t complain.
They did a great job, on my toes.
Will go back for nails, can’t wait.

I came here cause my two go to places were closed or busy.
Never coming back.
I wanted to take my mom to get her toes done and get a massage for MothersDay, first my review.
I got a full set of acrylics with French tip.
I knew it was going to be bad when the nails wouldn’t stick to my nails, she added so much glue that it got under my nail, I can feel it right now while typing and it bugs me, I’m actually excited for these nails to fall off (!)
The nails are misshapen on top and are thick. The paint job, a simple French tip is bad… I can actually do better at home.
One thumb nail is longer then the other and they aren’t cut even, they are at a slant.
Awful awful awful.
The only reason why I gave it two stars is because my mom loved her massage and her toes are actually nice.
Never coming here again.

Went and got a spa pedicure here with a Groupon I purchased. I made an appointment at 1pm but decided to go a little early to see if they can fit me in. There were 3 other people getting pedis as well but they had a open seat and let me sit. The ladies there greeted me warmly and I felt welcomed. The place isn’t fancy but it’s clean and there’s plenty of parking. It was also very relaxing and quiet in there. There wasn’t women jabbering in Vietnamese or people talking loudly on their phones. It was very nice and quiet. The lady that did my nails did any awesome job. The chairs are comfy and you can’t beat their $ 13.99 price for a spa pedicure.

I have been here twice so far. I used Groupon deal for spa pedi. I believe it was 12.99. Even without the coupon, the spa pedi is 13.99. The inside is not fancy at all. But I got descent services both times and th nails looked pretty for easily over a month. I never get gel nails, but the lady sitting next to me who was getting Shellac said that this is the only place they don’t ruin her nails with Shellac.
Again this place is nothing fancy, but ladies who work here are super nice, and I like the price and the results.

I didn’t really like this place. I went in because of the deal on the window for a spa pedicure. I was almost 9 months pregnant so I couldn’t reach my toes anymore. The guy who did my nails cut them very uneven so they looked weird. Like diagonal. Cheaper is not always better.

Worst nail service I’ve ever had! And I’m never going back! I asked for pink and white acrylics and so the lady put on the plastic white nails but then didn’t use powder. Just clear powder. How ghetto is that? Then on top of that she charged me 5 dollars for gel! I ended up paying 25 dollars for hideous nails. And when I said I didn’t like them the lady didn’t care she said «they look pretty. Can’t change». What happened to the customer is always right? What a joke

I came in on12/​22/​13 and Lynn did my nails. It is now 12÷26÷13 and my nails look HORRIBLE — four days later.
Back track. I got the gel manicure and day one it looked good. Not amazing, but good enough. There was a lot of remnant polish all over my fingers and she didnt really clean up my cuticle area but it was ok enough. Then the next day, the tip one of my nails chipped and snagged on my sweater and it ripped half the gel polish off. Then the next day the top layer of the gel started bubbling and again snagged and came off. It was ridiculous. I went back in this morning and Lynn got an attitude and claimed it was «something i did» and refused to fix anything unless I paid for a removal and full manicure again.
I dont know if the gel polish was old or what, but it was clearly not something I could have avoided. I get gel manicures every few weeks and I have NEVER had anything like this happen. Really crappy customer service. They definitely lost a customer not only in me, but in my mom and sisters as well. Way to go Lynn…

Really, really bad.
I went in for a shellac manicure and a spa pedicure. $ 30 seemed like a good deal until everything was said and done. First, the pedicurist hardly put any effort into the pedicure. She hardly scraped under my nails. I asked her to do it and she said that she already did. I guess her opinion of toenail cleaning is not the same as mine. When it came time for the massage part of the pedicure, she just picked up my leg and wiggled it around for a few seconds. It actually made me laugh a bit! When that was over I was taken over to the manicure station for the shellac. Everything seemed to be going fine throughout the tedious process until I saw the end result. I look down and see that 2 of my nails are bubbly and completely misshapen. I lifted my hands and she said it looked so beautiful lol. I pointed out the obvious mistakes and she hesitated, blamed it on me, and finally began to re do them. She did a half assed job the second time, even more so than the first. I ended up leaving with a few bubbles on my nails but I really didn’t want to go though the whole process again so I left. It wasn’t until I got into my car and that I noticed that 3 nails were not completely painted, the sides were not even touched leaving those nails to look malformed. I was so fed up at this point so I didn’t bother to complain. Exactly a week later 2 of my nails are chipped and 1 has already started to peel off. Anyone who has had shellac knows that they are supposed to last 2, maybe 3 weeks if taken care of. I didn’t so anything out of the ordinary and mine usually last me 2 weeks.
Will never be back.

Saw Simply Nails on groupon but was advised I didn’t needed the groupon so I made an appointment with Nina for a pedi. She did a nice job! I will go back…
The shop is nothing fancy… parking was okay.

I’ll just post a photo and let you be the judge.

I’ve been going here for 5 years now. I like getting my pedicures here because they last and they don’t cut into my skin and make me bleed. They are the only ones I trust with my feet. The price is decent and the color selection is pretty good as well. The only thing is if your planning to get gel nail polish there is not much of a selection for that. Go here if you want to relax, don’t worry, they won’t make you bleed like some other nail places I’v been to.
