Amerinails

Had a pedicure there, and had GREAT service by Demi. She was great… and she had a BIG job with my nasty feet. Thanks so much Demi!

Worst experience. The women screamed back and forth to each other as they did our nails in another language. We couldn’t even have a conversation. The whole experience was stressful and stupid expensive for such terrible service. The mani pedi was mediocre at best. They kept trying to force me to extras I didn’t want. Horrible experience. Wish I would have checked Unilocal before going in there.

horrible place to go! over priced! Demi is the worst she needs to go back to school. she doesn’t know coffin shape at all! don’t waste your money here its ridiculous! I left NO tip! she also cut me 3 times and made my nails so thick. worst set of nails ever!

I have been coming here for a while now. I always get my mani pedi done with Kim & Phoebe. I always have had an great experience here so far. They take their time, nice and relaxing massage. I am really happy with their services so far. And walking distance from my place which is a plus :)

Worst manicure ever! My daughter and I were at the mall and decided to go for mani’s. The person — whose name was never mentioned — was mad that I did not want gel polish and seemed in a hurry and did a terrible job! My entire manicure from removing polish to dry polish was ten minutes. Zero massage on my hands. And it is not the cheapest place in town! My daughter’s manicure lasted about ten minutes longer than mine, and she got a design — well on one finger there is a design and on the other there is a blob of nail polish. There was no warmth, no smiles, no happiness. They were not too busy so there was no reason for this rush. Too days later and I need new polish — already chipping!

In town for a conference, coworker wanted a pedi/​mani so I got them too. A bit painful on one big toe, but otherwise fine. Nothing spectacular, just ok. Very nice people though. Would have preferred a better hand and foot massage, it was too mechanical. The chairs I liked, really needed my back stretched.

Needed a mani/​pedi (both gel) before I headed out of town for a girls trip! First time here and I got Demi — she was great, very precise and did a fantastic job. Prices are a little steep ($ 35 for gel mani and $ 45 for gel pedi) but the quality and service was great. I would recommend Demi and if you aren’t worried about $$ then it’s a good spot!

I’m not sure why this has such a bad rating but I went here Sunday to get a mani/​pedi & Kim & Phoebe did the BEST mani/​pedi I’ve ever had in my life (I get one weekly). The pricing is $ 5 more than I normally pay & I know there are less expensive options but at the end of the day, you get what you pay for! The quality of the mani/​pedi was excellent and I can already tell that I won’t have to go back for a while since the polish/​work is excellent quality!!!
THANK YOU FOR BEAUTIFUL NAILS!

I live down the street and love coming here. Emily does a great job and os very precise with my nails. she does a immaculate job!

I have been coming here for a year and I would consider myself a regular. My typical order is an acrylic fill. My goto is Emily who always does an amazing job. She’s quick and makes them thin which is my preference. I’ve also had them done by Lilly who is also very good. It’s in downtown which is probably the reason their prices are a bit higher. All in all they are a good salon.

I’ve been getting nails done for over 10 years and acrylic has never been an issue, I move locations and go to this place and this awful manicurist gave me nail fungus. He is the only guy that works there and it was a red flag when I was getting my nails done and someone came in to complain to him about their nails. Now I have infected nails and my nails are getting eaten away it’s disgusting. AVOID THIS PLACE IT IS NOT SANITARY conditions

Love Emily she is very good I have 10 years and I love their work sHe is kind and generous

I got my nails by Emily and the design by Demi. They were wonderful great customers service and my nails came out beautiful!!! EVERYONE SHOULD GO HERE!!! I love it!!!

I have no idea why this place has such bad reviews. I came up for a wedding and needed my nails done. I showed them a photo of what I wanted and they did exactly that! It was quick and cost me only $ 30 with tip. Danny was very friendly and did everything I asked for. I would come back here for sure.

This review is long overdue. I used to go here and the first two times I had my nails done, they were perfect. Exactly what I wanted. I forgot the lady that did them but I’ll post a picture of her good work. I’m giving 2 stars because the third time I went was the day before New Years and I needed to get my nails done for the festivities (obviously). The gentleman that did them, did the worse set of nails I’ve ever had, or even seen for that matter. They were thick and lumpy and barely a glimpse of what I wanted. I said that they weren’t turning out how I wanted them half way through, said I didn’t like them when I was done, and he still charged me $ 60 for the mediocre (at best) set. If you have to go here, don’t go to him. I suggest Kim’s nails in north park. They do the best job and have far more decent prices.

WORST MANI & PEDI I have ever gotten, and I paid over $ 40 for it. The girl did not even bother to do my cuticles despite my asking her repeatedly for it. She also kept filing them square even though I asked for a round one. Also, she kept hitting my hand with the filer instead of using a human language, plus the attitude. I should not have felt obligated to tip her after all that poor job and treatment.

I should have followed the reviews on Unilocal but it’s in walking distance of where I was staying all weekend!
The service is super vast. They want you out of there as soon as possible. Their massaging chairs are painful and I don’t like how they won’t do your nails at the pedicure chairs.
The girl missed half my nail and wouldn’t change it. They also messed up my nail and wouldn’t fix it. Was extremely disappointing and I can hear Unilocal mocking and singing «I told you so!»

This place is dirty and hot! They also have the most expensive prices of any nail salon I’ve been too in sd. (I’ve gotten my nails done mostly in la Jolla and little Italy FYI) I live downtown so I keep giving this place a shot but I’m done once and for all!
First of all their pedicures are horrible and the last was so rude to my mother! I went back another time and the lady was so rough with me she kept cutting me with the nail file! I went back another time and my gel polish was so thick it bubbled off the next day! This place doesn’t care about the quality of their work or customer service do not go here! I think of it like a box of chocolates you never quite know what you’re going to get!

This place is horrendous and the employees are rude. I work downtown and live in Hillcrest and usually get my nails done at Divine Nails or Beauty Lounge in Hillcrest, but sometimes I don’t have time so the Amerinails is easy to go on my lunch break.
I’ve gone there at least 10 times and each time is worse and worse. I asked for a toe polish change and they won’t let you sit in the regular pedicure chairs. Instead you have to sit in a regular chair which is uncomfortable to put your feet up and you end up rolling around because the chair has wheels. They charge 9 $ for a polish change, every other place I go to charges 5 – 7 $. Usually a polish change includes clipping, filing and a change of polish. They started to file my nails and I asked if they could clip 2 toes that were a little longer first. They informed me that if I wanted those 2 toe nails clipped it would be an extra 5 $. When I informed the woman working on that they had always clipped my nails when I got a polish change, she brought the manager over. She basically informed me if I wanted to not have to pay extra for that service than I should go else where.
I told her I had been to her salon several times and that each time they make it less and less enjoyable and that I was extremely disappointed with their customer service she responded «too bad.»
I left and regardless that this salon is a block from my office I will not return.

I went to Amerinails a few times several years back, and had a great experience here — the spa mani/​pedi was really a «spa» experience w/​scrub soaps, lotions, nice massages, etc. But came back this week after finding out my usual downtown nail salon in Horton Plaza had closed, and it wasn’t nearly as good as it was. Maybe because they now have 3 levels of spa mani/​pedis ranging from $ 37 to $ 50+ and I got the «lowest» level.
But, the «massage» chair I was in was one of the worst ever; I eventually just turned it off. It was also strange that he would apply nail polish to my hands and feet before putting lotion on, which meant that there wasn’t any lotion on my hands or feet, which was unusual. Overall, wasn’t great. Guess I need to find a new, reasonable nail salon downtown.
