Boutique Nails And Spa

Came to Boutique Nails tonight because it was very close to my house and on a Saturday evening it was the only nail place still open at 6:00. They are open until 7:00 pm on Saturday.
The first thing I noticed was the smell of cigarette smoke. Now, I am not sure if it’s because there is a bar located just a couple doors down from them, but my eyes have been burning and watering since I got here. They are a little pricey. I got the Spa Pedicure Plus which is 25.00. It was good. The technician spent great care and tool her time. The leg massage was good with just the right amoun of pressure applied.
The facility itself is clean and pleasant. I am giving it 3 stars just because of the price. Next time I’ll use my regular nail spa. But it was great to get in at the last minute.

Love this place. People are so nice. I went in to get spa pedi and gel — manicure. I am satisfied with the results. I added on 10 min hot oil massage on my pedi. She really took her time and I almost fell asleep. I will definitely come back.

I went here for the first time the other day because I needed a manicure, and I was very happy with how it turned out. The lady who did my nails took her time and really make sure everything is perfect. Highly recommend this place!

Another gem in my neighborhood! I’ve lived in San Carlos for a year now and barely tried this place today. My sister and I came to get our nails done. I always try to get pedicures that have a paraffin wax included so I tried the happy feet package. My sister had a regular manicure. So far I love this place and and am so glad it is close to home. I will be back!

I used to drive to Grossmont Center to have my nails done, but after finding this little hidden gem closer to home I’m sold. I’ve been there 3 times now, and have been very happy with all the work they have done. I go for pedicures only. I love to have the flower nail art on my toes. My pedicures last for a solid month with minimal chipping of the polish. I don’t have a single one person I see, I just see whoever has time, and I’ve not been disappointed yet. The prices are in line with what I pay for other pedicures. The callous treatment is not as good as some I’ve had, but they do a nice enough job.

RUDE RUDE RUDE!!!
Let me just start my review by saying that I know that it’s a known «stereotype» that women working in nail shops. How they talk about you in other languages while getting your nails done. But the blatant disrespect and rudeness that I got while getting a pedicure was completely unnecessary. I have gone to this particular nail shop quite a few times and had both my nails and toes done, but just today was something straight out of a SNL skit.
I work with my hands making jewelry so when I get off work, I pretty much look like I just put a transmission in a 1965 Mustang. My nails get so dirty and my hands are so black so a few weeks ago I decided to save money by doing my own nails. I am still learning, and no where near a professional but as much as the need attention it’s cheaper this way and they honestly don’t look bad. As for my feet I just don’t want to always do those too. With that said, today I rushed straight from work to my 3:30p.m. Pedicure-​only appointment, not able to completely scrub all the black off my hands, I made it on time. After standing. Around for 15 minutes before anyone Greeting me, I get seated. While relaxing and just minding my own business, the female worker doing a pedicure to the customer next to me starts speaking a different language and then looking at my hands and laughing and gesturing to my nail lady as if she was saying to «look, look!» So she does and starts laughing. And then they make the worker on the side «look, look!» She finally does and more laughter meanwhile they are so obsessed with my dirty hands they don’t realized I am watching them until I call them out and ask «is there a problem? Or something you want to tell me?» Of course, no response but more whispering and then the worker doing my nails get «rough» with me. Not to mention the 2 other customers that leave upset over being promised to be seen at a certain time to wait and turns out there was nothing available and the owner says to the customer about the worker «she doesn’t know what’s she’s talking about» after leaving they workers laugh like it was all a joke.
Please spend your money somewhere else. The rudest customer service I have ever seen in My life.

I go here every 2 weeks, have been for the past 3 years. Love them all, they’re great!!!

Horrible customer service!!! All I went in for was an eye brow wax and the lady told me five minutes. I waited over 20 minutes while they all talked and were on there phones. As soon as I get up and leave they decide to follow me out and tell me they can help me. Awful awful awful. Horrible way to do business.

I always go to Harry for extravagant nails. That is why i came straight to him for my engagement nails. I literally showed him a picture and he did it it exactly like the picture with added pazaaz. Love Harry and boutique nails!!!

This is the first and only place I have ever gotten my nails done, until now. So I can’t compare then to anyone. There were a few times the girl helping me made me feel like a burden, but those girls are gone. Harry and Yen, the owners, don’t keep staff that doesn’t fit well in their salon. I appreciate that. Most of the girls, and definitely Harry, are very friendly and accommodating. They all do a great job and it’s worth making am appointment when they’re really busy. I recently left san Diego and need to find a new place. I wish Harry would move them out here by me!

Wow! This place is very clean. I came here for a full set and they do white tips for $ 28 and Gels for $ 35. Mimi did my gels and they look great. She was quick and efficient and there is no need for an appt. I walked in a little skeptical and walked out confident I would be back:)

I have been here twice now. The last time, I got a spa pedicure. Parking is always easy. This time, they took me right away. I asked the pedicurist to make the water warmer and she didn’t do it. When we were done, she told me there was an extra $ 1 change for a credit card then set my feet up to be dried under a broken drier and walked away. When I told her it was not working she came back and fixed it. The price of a spa pedicure is comparable to other places in the area.

I really needed my acrylic nails filled and I’m so happy I found Boutique Nails.
Harry did my nails. He was meticulous and took the time to get my nails back in good shape after a few months of careless manicures at another salon. And what a nice man! Professional, kind and very good at his craft.
I keep my nails short and Harry did them nice and thin so they are very natural looking.
They have OPI and China Glaze polishes — and some other brands as well.
I noticed the all of the employees at the salon seemed to treat their customers with great care and courtesy. There was no rushing customers in and out as I often see at other salons. They seemed to treat their clients like friends. The spa pedicure chairs were pretty full late on a Sunday afternoon. Guys and gals getting pedicures.
Oh — and the music is awesome!
This little salon is in a little hidden corner of the Albertson’s center on Navajo a few doors down from Einsteins.
I will definitely be back.

I come here long time, now I’m not happy with this salon because Daisy do my pedicure she cut my toe leading, she don’t say sorry don’t come this salon not good for service

Yen, the owner, is amazing at waxing eyebrows. Harry, the owner as well, does great on acrylic nails. Great service, they actual care about you and do what you ask them to do. I highly recommend this place.

I lost my keys so this was the perfect place to kill time while my fingers and toes were lookin’ like I didn’t have my life together and I had to wait for my spare key! I went from feeling super stressed to feeling like a popped a Xanax bar in those spa chairs. Although this was the most expensive nail shop trip I’ve ever made ($ 100+ tip… whoops) the service was quality! Don’t worry friends, your mani and pedi won’t cost you $ 100 too because they have a menu of options! I just happened to get a liiiiittle carried away. The ladies here are suuuper nice but they are Vietnamese so their English is broken, but with the menu of services and the brochure available, you can tell them what you want by pointing your finger. This salon is also clean. Now my fingers look amazing and my feet look like a fetish dream!
Also, I ended up leaving my keys at the Rite Aid pharmacy next door on accident and they called my husband to let him know ^_​^ I win!

I love this place for pedicures but will never get another manicure here. The new chairs are awesome and they do a great job with my feet, my hands however get tore up and I’ve never had a «good» manicure. I always leave bleeding and they can never get the lacquer to cover my entire nail I do a better job doing my own nails. That being said: this place is just «ok».

I waited over a week to put this review together because I wanted to see how my pedicure held up with some wear and tear. I am happy to report that 9 days after the fact, I don’t have even a chip. My nails are still looking great, even after days of flip flop wearing, toe-​stubbing, and swimming in a pool. The quality of the work has earned this place a full five stars from me. There are around 10 spa pedicure stations with the lovely massage seats and at least 4 – 5 manicure ones, if memory serves. This made it easy for my friend and I to call ahead for a reservation and enjoy our pedicures side by side. We each paid a little extra for the exfoliating foot scrub, bringing each pedi to a total of $ 24. I was, and still am pleased, with the outcome of my visit.

I love this nail salon! I have been here a handful of times, never disappointed! Both my mother and I love these girls. Tammy is great with doing stiletto nails! GREAT PRICES. First place I found in San Diego that knew how to do them & do them right. Great environment for relaxation, all the girls are sweet. Yen is the BEST at doing eyebrows! I couldn’t ask for a better nail salon. Currently getting a pedicure… Much needed.

I’ve been getting pedicures for about four years, because I’m old and fat and lazy. Once I realized that for 30 to 40 dollars, a cute girl would clip my toenails, rub my feet and tell me what a nice guy I am, I was hooked. I mean, it’s not like my beloved will do these things for me. At least not at that price.
After trying several salons in the area, I discovered Boutique, and I’ve been coming here ever since. I have a particular problem, a couple of chronic ingrown toenails, and have found that Daisy is expert at dealing with the problem, relieving the pressure without causing greater pain. Now visit about once a month, or 10 days before I leave for an out of town fishing trip.
I’ve recommended this place to lots of my friends. I’ve brought my bride in for couples therapy, and I dragged in my best friend, a 70 year old man with claws for toenails, and made him a believer.
4 stars for a clean salon offering quality service. Missing fifth star is because their schedule sometimes falls apart, & I end up waiting longer than I allowed for.
