Amerinails

This was my second visit here. I came to get a full set and the man who did my nails did a good job but he seemed very rushed and in a bad mood. He also stopped half way through to go on his phone for 5 – 7 minutes to text someone. I would still keep coming back, I just didn’t like the service I got this past visit.

horrible service. loved the idea to come here because its open until 9pm but bad idea!!! my pinky nail was short due to a broken nail and as soon as the lady saw it she immediately called another women to come see my nails. the other one said since my nail was to short that they didn’t guarantee my acrylic nail will stick to my nail. i said to go ahead and proceed that it was fine. the one doing my nails i guess got mad after i said to to my nails. she said something to the other one and again said its because its not guaranteed. i said i know thats fine just do them. she started doing my nails all fast an ugly. i picked a beige color and she wanted me to get gel and i said no so she said ok get powder and got up to grab about 3 different powders. she put a pinkish powder and i was thinking she will put the beige nail polish on top right? well no she put the powder and then a clear coat on top and left me with my right hand shinear than my left hand and pink color nails!!! also i have small hands and the nails look all fat and ugly! never again will i be coming back here!!!

Loved this place! Took my 9 year old niece to get a pedicure and my mother to get a manicure and they did an excellent job! Very friendly friendly and welcoming staff. Such a great experience!

I give this place 5 stars overall but today I had the worst experience. Peter did my gel manicure and I honestly left so dissatisfied! I would usually get my manicure done by Mimi which is one of the best manicurist! I love her job, I would leave this place so satisfied. But unfortunately I found out today that she’s no longer working there which brakes my heart Anywho, Peter ended up doing my manicure and he didn’t do a good job! He didn’t take his time, his job was messy, and he smelled like cigarettes so much! I left so upset and with cuticles still visible as well as with polish all messy. I hope next time I go I can be satisfied, or I’ll unfortunately have to find a new place.

So I have been going to another salon for over a year but the service at that place just went down hill. I urgently needed a new place to get
my nails done, and I found this place! Personally I was a little nervous to see how it would
go, but I looked at their pictures on Instagram and I felt more excited. When I first walked in I was greeted and I felt welcomed. They showed me all of the colours that they have and they have SO many beautiful colours, like so many that it was hard to choose haha. My appointment was at 10am with Andy and I got attended right on time! Andy was really nice and funny and very comforting. The other place that I went to honestly did not do the best job on my nails, Andy took the time to make sure to fix them and reshape them. He put to much attention on perfecting them and made sure that I was happy with the shape and length. I loved this place! and the prices were very reasonable. I will definitely be coming back!

This place is clean and bigger than I expected. I had an appt and was seated right away. Didn’t hurt that my appt was first thing in the morning. My nails look good better than most nail techs have been able to do lately with the exception of my girl Tuyen.
My complaints are that I got Swarovski crystals and they are already falling off my nails. I just got my nails done on Friday and it is Tuesday afternoon. The nail tech who did my nails was extremely rough on my nails. I had to instinctively jerk my hands back about two or three times as he was filing my the hell out of my nail bed and that isht hurt. He also put way too much clear coat on the top of my nails which is also starting to flake off a little. But he shaped them perfectly which is why I give them 3 stars. I will spare his name… for now. I plan to go back to this place for a fill in another week or so and will ask that he be a bit more gentle on my hands. If I have no complaints then I will maybe bump my rating up a notch. Otherwise I will spare no one’s name in my updated review.

I’ve been going to this shop for about two years now and have NEVER had any problems, I drive from point loma to this place so you can tell I love it here. I stick to one person and one person only and that is Henry. He is GREAT he’s so nice and takes his time when doing your nails. I’m pretty much never going anywhere else unless Henry leaves lol I’ll follow him. Bottom line go to Henry or Tony he’s pretty good too!

I’ve came here a couple of times to get my eyelashes done with Valerie have no negative things to say about her or her work! She’s very professional, friendly and makes sure you always leave happy after your appointment!
My go-​to nail place is diva nails and haven’t gone anywhere else in a very long time, this day I was in a hurry and decided to get my nails down here after I got my eyelash full, I left satisfied with my nails it was a simple white tip nothing special, after a few days my right index finger started to grow a lump on the side of my nail. I sent Valerie a picture right away knowing she’s the manager and she told me it wasn’t infected and to come right in that they would fix it … I couldn’t make it in those days due to work but the lump grew a little more and it was actually painful I ended up going to the dr because everyone was freaking me out saying it was infected went to the dr and turns out to be it did get infected. I don’t want to bash their business but just a heads up to know where you get your nails done, and it I hope it doesn’t happen to anyone else!
Won’t be coming back to get nails done here again, but if anyone’s looking for a great place to get your eyelashes done Valerie’s your girl.

Ok so my last review I posted how disappointed I was because I was ripped off. They charged me $ 5 for fixing a smudge on my nail while he was still working on them. The owner/​manager replied to my Unilocal review saying I «misunderstood» she even stated their prices and all. Trying to justify why I was charged an extra $ 5, my totals set of new nails totaled $ 45 with tony. That was a full new set gel polish $ 30, coffin cut $ 5, matte nails $ 5. Totaling $ 40 which I just called about 5min ago to make an «appointment» and review the prices. So why did he charge me $ 45? For a $ 40 nail job u just confirmed was $ 40? I’ll tell u why. Because I didn’t misunderstand and ur nail tech Tony charged me $ 5 for retouching my nail! Please don’t try to cover up, it’s just ugly. Keep it real.
Oh and I did tell Tony and front desk that it was a mistake. Tony still insisted it was $u5 more for the smudge and the girl at the front desk just looked at both of us cluelessly about wether to charge $ 40 or $ 45. The girl just kept asking ok so $ 40 or $ 45? He kept insisting $ 45 even after I told him it was ridiculous. I paid the $ 45 and told him I had never heard of such charges EVER!!!

Valerie is the best!!! Love my lashes!!! She did the 3D on me and I love them! Her prices are unbeatable and her knowledge of the craft is un matched! She’s such a sweetheart and I’m so glad I found her!!!

I’ve been coming to this salon for 2 ½ months now. And I’ve always had good experiences until the last two times. I went in for a fill that didn’t turn out the way I would of liked and the next day Ryan re did it for me which was beyond the nicest thing every. I feel like it’s hit or miss.

Terrible experience. To begin the tech that was doing my mani and pedi left my pedi half way done with no effort in doing her job right to go and scream at some friend she was having some kind of problem with towards the
back of the nail shop door. When she came back she was so mad that she began to paint my toes and then began a very bad job on my mani discussing the details of her arguement with her friend when all I wanted was some «me» time and not a doctor «PHIL» session. I was charged for a bad service 55 $ for your basic gel polish and she did a horrible job waxing my eye brows and top lip. She said I never asked for powder on my face and was really ruff and rude even though I asked her to take it easy and dont be so ruff at pushing the wax strip down before pulling. Also she left me bad scars that i am contemplating today on my eye brows. But her concern was to keep complaining about this friend. When I complained at the front desk all I got was an «sorry» with no attempt of a compessation for what the tech did and the tech would scream and not let me complain because she said that she would get fired, the experience was so unprofessional. She kept saying that I was lying and that my hairs where too short to wax. Listen, it is not of a convinience to me to lie about anything. I payed for a service badly done and this tech was horrible i left crying. Furthermore, be professional, leave your problems at the door and do your job. We all have issues and thus shows how professional this place carries itself. I will file a formal complaint with pictures to the rightful authorities. Thank you

Ask for Valerie! She’ll make sure you are well taken care of with any service.
Valerie is so pleasant to be around and she truly cares about you and your beauty. She is the only person I would let do me lashes because she will never disappoint. She is a perfectionist. So you know you’ll always be in good hands.

I’ve been to many nail salons and never been as satisfied with my gel manicure. Mai helped me out, the whole entire staff are very friendly. I didn’t get the name for the lady that did my pedicure but she was a perfectionist lol which i loved !! prices are reasonable. coming back in two weeks for sure.

I first started coming to Amerinails back in June and I have been coming back ever since. I started coming here to get eyelash extensions and every time I leave from an appointment I’m always happy with how my lashes come out! (: I’m constantly getting compliments about how my lashes look so nice and natural for a while people couldn’t believe they were extensions. I’ve seen other pictures of eyelash extensions but none of them have looked as good as getting them done at Amernails. The manger there Val is seriously the best at her job. She takes her time doing each clients lashes and never rushes her work. So many people come from different areas just to get there lashes done and I can understand why.
Val is the best person I know who does lash extensions and I love going to see her. Not only is she great at her job but she constantly checks on other clients who come in and the other employees are just as great. As soon as you walk in there’s a receptionist who welcomes you in and they always offer you a drink and snack while you wait. It’s the best thing ever especially because not a lot of nail salons are like that.
I recently started getting my nails done there also and I love it. I normally have Henry do my nails and I’m always satisfied with the end results. I always have a picture of how I want my nails to look and they always come out way better then I would’ve thought. I get many compliments on the way my nails looks. I’m usually have people telling me nice things about my nails, but the way that Henry does them is the best I have ever gotten.
Amernails has officially become my new favorite nail salon and I can’t wait until my next appointment (: I highly recommend everyone come here to get their nails done and to get eyelash extensions done by the very best the Manger in charge Valerie!

UPDATE: I can’t thank Valerie enough! She is great! She made my lash extensions longer and fuller for my wedding, and they came out so beautiful!
Along with all of the staff at Amerinails… very nice, positive and friendly. They have me coming back! That should say a lot!

I read their reviews and decided to check them out. The receptionist at the front was very professional and inviting. The only reason I left out one star was because there was another woman in the front (Chinese younger lady) — not sure if she does nails. Well I got there about 6 mins later because my google map took me elsewhere, so I even mentioned that I was a couple minutes late and her immediate response was «Well because you’re late it will be a bit of wait». O.k. That’s all that really came out of her mouth. That conversation could have gone a different way because impressions are everything but I didn’t let that put a damper on my stay.
It really wasn’t much of a wait AT ALL and the girl in the front was very sweet, she was offering drinks or a snack throughout my entire stay. Very personable. I had Tony do my nails and he was a very nice person. He took his time to make sure nails looked great and had a lot of suggestions for me. The rest of the staff was talking and laughing all together and I was just around a lot of positive energy.
Thanks guys, I’ll be back.
UPDATE: In less than 2 weeks, my nails broke. One of them was when I was getting my keys from my purse, it got stuck between my pinky and it just broke off so fast, the other one (same day) I didn’t notice how and when but it was the other hand. The nail shop I normally go to have a 2 week guarantee and after a month, they are SO hard to take off. They never break or get stuck between my hair when showering. This place has potential but I cannot go back because I like products that will last a reasonable amount of time. Hope you update your products and if and when you do, I will definitely come back.

Update!!! I am still in love with Amerinails! The new management has brought a positive atmosphere and increased employee and customer happiness by far! I’ve always had a great experience at Amerinails nonetheless. On my last review I mentioned Annie. Annie is no longer with Amerinails as she moves away, which still makes me sad! BUT, yes there’s a but, the staff at Amerinails are on the cutting edge of nail culture! Henry is amazing and I’ve had a great experience with Ryan as well. They have increased (and that’s an understatement) their selection of gel polishes and has even taken client requests!
AND… To add to their already fabulous work on manis and pedis, Valerie does a great job on lash extensions! Her work is amazing and she is very meticulous about her work! You won’t be disappointed with her. She truly cares about her customers and is always concerned is you’re comfortable and satisfied with your service. I was so excited when I heard that she started doing lash extensions at the salon after she has been getting her lashes done elsewhere. Valerie is very personable and wants to meet her clientele on a personal level.
NOTE: She has even added snacks and water for the customers while they get their services taken care of.

Came here on a whim after shopping at the las Americas outlet for a regular manicure. The shop itself is spacious and clean, but I was turned off that my manicurist insisted I get a gel manicure which is almost 3x more expensive than a regular one. I’m not a huge fan of gel manicures because they leave my nails dry and rough after I remove it and also because I just don’t want to spend that much money on my nails.
Anyway, I paid $ 18 including tip for a regular French tip manicure. I think my manicurist did a good job cleaning my nails thoroughly and getting all the dead skin off the sides, but it was definitely not done meticulously. My nails weren’t even filed evenly and my manicure chipped after less than 24 hours. It’s so hard to find a good nail salon and sadly, this is another one that was just a miss. Good thing I’m not from the area so I won’t be back.

Excellent service, excellent quality!
Got my eyelash extensions done by Valerie and I absolutely LOVE them! My eyelashes are very thin, short, and straight, and with my wedding coming up, I figured lash extensions would be a good deal to dodge a bunch of eye makeup. It was my first time getting eyelash extensions ever, and Valerie was kind and patient enough to fill me in on the pre-​appointment instructions once I scheduled.
During the procedure, she let me know about all the details of what was going on so that I wasn’t completely in the dark. She let me know which lashes would suit my natural lashes best, what length, why, etc. She was also very friendly the entire experience and we were able to engage in good conversation which helped the time pass even faster!
The lash extensions came out even better than I was expecting! They look so natural and nicely enhance the length and volume of my natural lashes. After, she further explained what to expect and how to properly care for the lash extensions.
Valerie is an AWESOME esthetician and I HIGHLY recommend her services! I’m definitely looking forward to coming back!
