Lily Nails

They do you great job on my nails but for some reason they won’t even let me make an appointment because they are «busy».

My nails lasted a whole month without falling or cracking. Lily did an amazingggg job! :) prices are great and service is good too. Long waiting times even with appointment but totally worth it :) would recommend to anyone

This has now become my go-​to nail salon. Almost every nail salon I’ve gone to, my nails ALWAYS end up chipping within less than a week (and that’s with gel polish!). But I’ve only gotten full sets with regular polish and a gel top coat here and I didn’t have any problems with chipping or lifting after 2.5 weeks. On top of the longevity of my nails, I am in love with the workmanship. They are extremely gentle but very thorough. The only downside is the wait. Even with an appointment I end up waiting 30 – 50 mins. So definitely go in with the mindset that you’ll be waiting awhile. I’m not a very patient person and every time I go and end up waiting I contemplate finding a new nail salon but as soon I get my nails done and see the finished product, I’m reminded why the wait is worth the while.

This place is amazing. Melissa always does exactly what you want. She is fast, funny and efficient. Every time I go I show her what I like and she does the best job. Do an appointment ahead of time or you will be waiting for more than an hour… Prices are amazing!

First time trying this nail salon. Despite the small set up which makes it get a bit cramped while waiting the nails come out marvelous. Good prices. Not a fan of the basic pedicure they give but at least for a full set they get 4 stars.

I’ve been here a total of 3 times, and all 3 times I had appointments and probably waited 10 minutes at the most to get seated. I did notice that time management may be a little off, but I suggest to ALWAYS make an appointment if you do not want to wait forever. It does get pretty busy but that is because the outcome of your nails are ALWAYS ON POINT!

My first time getting Gel acrylics (whatever you call it lol) and I loved it SO MUCH! The girl who did my nails was nice and she did it so fast! ANNND I ONLY payed $ 28 !

Walked in for fill bitch said we don’t got time at 12 in the afternoon fuck this place

Don’t go here they are very rude I called to make an appointment and was hung up on multiple times. They say they are to busy for a walk in but they only had one person waiting to get seen. Other then that they’re nail quality is great.

Still love this place! Lisa became my go to and never fails me!!! She does an amazing and clean job and she’s funny. So that’s a plus! Love her!

I been coming to lily’s for a long time. I have tried everyone there and I love how Lisa do my nails, she leaves them how I wanted them. I didn’t give them a five star simply because everytime I make an appointment I still have to wait and extra 30 min but yesterday I waited for an hour and that was with appointment grrr very upsetting but I did love my nails

Great prices and great work only thing it takes a while to get work done since they don’t have many people working so better make an appointment because you wait less time like that than if just showing up without appointment.

Finally found a nail salon that is close to home. From reading off Unilocal reviews it seems like everyone is good at doing nails. Well I chose Lisa to do mine and she does a fantastic job!
There’s usually 3 girls working and I’m not sure if there is more on other days but they are usually all busy working on someone. MAKE SURE YOU MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. And yes, you’ll probably have to wait even if you have an appointment. Im patient enough to wait because I usually get my nails done on my day off.
Anyways, Lisa cleans up around the nail very nicely and she doesn’t work too rough on my hands like other salons. I actually just got a fill with gel polish and a pedicure yesterday for $ 32. Yup, that’s a steal deal to me because that’s how much I usually pay for a fill w/​gel polish alone.
The nail salon is small but clean and organized. I have recommended my friends to go here as well since the prices are amazing for the work they do! The employees here are actually quite nice and friendly. So happy I found my go-​to nail salon (:

Before making an appointment here, I read previous reviews stating that there may or may not be a wait, even if you set an appointment. With that in mind, I expected to wait so I showed up to my appointment and waited 15−20mins for Lisa. I didn’t mind too much because I”m extremely patient (it’s scary) and plus, I brought a book with me.
Anyway, Lisa is great! She’s very friendly and her work is clean and efficient. I went in for an acrylic fill and gel. I’m very OCD with my nails and I love how my nails turned out. I have another nail place I go to and I love my nail tech there, but atleast I can go to Lily Nails also and not be disappointed. Now I have two nail places I can trust. Yesss!!!
I will be a returning customer for sure!

So I am super disappointed I came in here about 3 days ago went in there was 1 or 2 people in the shop I asked Lisa to do my nails the person that has done my nails once before and she told me to come back at 6 o clock, I said your booked till 6? Mind u I came in at 10am, then I asked well then someone else can do my nails she said there all booked till 6 as well I took my money somewhere else I got bad customer service here before but returned for the quality I was very upset as how I was treated.

Love this place the only thing is yes the wait time. However, I believe its worth it. The quality of the nail work is ridiculous and amazing. My girl is Melissa but all of the girls here are amazing and very kind. They truly work hard and do amazing work!

Lily did my nails love them and I like how she took her time, and wasn’t rushing. Coffin nails n toes for $ 44

I normally get my nails done in Mira Mesa or UTC area where I live, but for some reason the salons I go to here cannot do a great coffin mani. After searching around on Unilocal,I came across Lily’s.
I took a risk, driving all the way down to National City, just judging by the photos. I guess I came at a perfect time. I set an appointment at 5pm on a Saturday and was taken right away at my appointment time. I must say I am relieved and have never had such a perfect mani. Lily did my manicure and did an amazing job. She is a perfectionist and took her time to make sure every nail looked great. I didn’t catch the lady’s name who did my pedi but she was fast and did a great job, but noticed I already had some polish chipping off. Oh well.
I had a pedicure and a full gel manicure and it only ran me $ 40! That’s how much it normally costs me to just get a full acrylic set alone (no gel!!). I’m so glad I came and will try to come down when I can!

I really love this little nail shop ran by hard working ladies. But, there is one problem that I cannot stand. Time management.
They do a great job in doing nails but they don’t have much color selections and their time management is not that great. I always make an appointment but every time I come here, I’ve never been seated on time. Either I have to wait 30 minutes or 2 hours like today. All the employees here are great, it’s just the time management problem. Sigh

I live 30 minutes away and don’t mind driving to get a nail job done!
BOOK AN APPOINTMENT. Especially for weekends this place is packed!
Lily usually does my toes which she does an awesome job taking her time. I don’t remember the woman who does my hands but she sits the third chair back to the left. She’s nice and will actually start up a good conversation.
This place is clean with massage chairs as well!
I paid about $ 40 total with tip for acrylic nails no gel single color and French white tip toe nails. If you’re unsatisfied in any way, they won’t hesitate to do what they can for you to leave happy.
