Jenny For Nails

This place is perfect for me. It’s affordable to start (which finding an affordable nail salon in SD has been a challenge for me), Jenny and Hannah are both so fun and personable, and the quality is on point. I’ve been going there consistently for several months now and I’m always happy when I leave. I even got my boyfriend to go with me for a manicure bc I kept talking about it. Great small nail salon. I would describe it as charming, not glamorous and I love it.

Jenny and Hannah are amazing and super friendly! My friend has been going there for years and brought me in for a pedi. This is now my go to place. They listen and always just want to please their customers. Both of their pedicures are thorough and always last me at least 2 weeks. Great service for lower prices than post nail salons.

I have been to many nail shops and am very picky. I went to Jenny while getting my oil changed and I’m so glad I did. I live by SDSU and she’s in Clairemont, but she is well worth the short drive. Her products are good and my nails last well over a month. She’s quick, friendly and I would recommend her to all of my friends.

Amazing!

I live across the bridge close to sonic & this place was convenient. I asked for a pedicure & i guess im spoiled? But i saw no massage chairs & they gave me one of those buckets. Which i was cool about because i get it, its not typical to get a massage when you are paying for a pedicure. I had gel on my fingers and i asked for a new gel manicure & they soaked my finger tips in a water/​acetone mixture and that was a first? I dont know if i felt good or bad about it. It was just a thing i guess?
I do however like their customer service. The owner and i were talking about buying a gun & shooting her husband when he pisses her off. Shes humorous so i liked that a lot.

How do I feel about Jenny and Hannah? I live in Santa Rosa and wait until my next trip to San Diego to have my mani/​pedi! Since I only go 3 or 4 times a year I’m stuck doing my own (yuck!) until my next trip. Hannah gives the very best pedicure ever, ever! Jenny makes us laugh the whole time and the whole experience beats any spa, anywhere.

I just had a really obnoxious day and so I set out to get a pedicure to cheer me up. It was about 5:50 when I found/​pulled up to the salon and Jenny was there. I walked in and asked about getting a pedicure and Jenny said absolutely and to pick a color. I just realized at that point that I had no cash and asked if she took credit card. She said she doesn’t have a card machine but that I could get cash after my pedicure was done and let me know of nearby ATM’s. I picked some colors and sat down on the chair, we chatted during my spa pedicure and she was so nice. I just felt all the stress and annoyance from the day lifting away from me. After we were done and my nails had dried, she held onto a collateral item of mine and I went to get cash, came back and paid her and grabbed my stuff and left feeling much better. I appreciated the accommodation and will definitely come back next time I am in the area.
The place only has a few seats so I would have to time my visits appropriately.

My mom works here :)

Very nice people but a dump for real and my shellac manicure didn’t even last a week what a joke 27 n for what chip polish. Don’t bother wasting your time.

I’ve been getting a mani/​pedi at Jenny’s for several years now. Jenny & Hannah are super! Hannah does wonderful freehand nail art (flowers, holiday themes, cool abstracts). Hannah is also a expert at waxing. I’m extremely happy with their pricing & services.

Why do I love Jenny for Nails? Two reasons: 1) Jenny and Hannah do a fabulous job with my nails, and 2) Jenny and Hannah are wonderful ladies whom I like very much.
I have been coming here for several months now. I originally found Jenny because she was close to my Tierrasanta home, and I was unhappy with the nail salons in Tierrasanta. I keep coming back to Jenny and Hannah because I get great service and they are wonderful women.
Jenny does a fantastic job with my gel nail manicure. She takes time to allow the polish to soak off, rather than filing my nails to oblivion like many other salons do. This keeps my nails in great shape. She only has about 20 colors of gel polish, so if you need the whole rainbow to choose from, you won’t be happy. The colors she has are plenty for me to choose from. And she does a great french manicure! Plus, if you become a regular, she will buy whatever colors you tend to like.
Hannah does wonderful pedicures. She is very meticulous with her work, and does awesome designs! She is also the house waxer, and she will wax anything you need as quickly and painlessly as possible.
The salon and equipment are older, so if you are looking for that chic, ultra-​modern spa experience, you won’t find it here. The spa pedicure chairs are not the best, so go with the regular pedicure instead. They do not do airbrushed nail art, and have no nail decals or charms, so bring your own if you want them. They do all of their nail art by hand. Their prices are fair. They are both wives and mothers, and work every week, Monday through Saturday. Jenny has two sons in their 20s, and Hannah has a special needs son.
Bottom line: If you are looking for a no-​frills, quality nail and wax experience, then this is your place. If you need all the bells and whistles, then you will be happier somewhere else.
By the way, they take CASH ONLY, so stop at the ATM on your way there. :)

I have never had a single nail crack or break or lift when jenny does my nails. this is the first place I have ever come to that my nails will last for 2 more weeks. the price is right and jenny is hilarious when she starts cracking jokes. you could say I look forward to seeing her every time. plus there is a girl named hannah who waxes my eyebrows so well that I don’t have to come back for 3 weeks or more. I have been coming here for months now and I love it. the prices are totally the same as everywhere else plus or minus a few dollars they follow industry standards on their prices. new customers save a few dollars off of everything what their first visit if they tell jenny it’s their first time.

this nail salon inside is kind of dingy. the nail polishes were all cheap and old. I got a «spa pedicure» which was extremely rushed and uncomfortable. I wasn’t very happy with the end result. Would definitely NOT recommend.

I like Jenny and her girl there at Jenny for Nails! Those two women can whip out some work and get you in and out in no time. Yeah, the shop is not like a spa, but you get what you pay for in my book… except when it comes to feeling like you’ve gotten a pedicure… this is a great place!
When I was working I was in there once a month for Mani Pedi and Eyebrow Wax. I’ve never had any problem with any of those services. I don’t use the Spa Chair… because I don’t use those at any Salon I don’t care how nice it is… people generally don’t clean those spa jets well enough for me, and I’ve seen 1 TV news story too many about how you can catch a cootie from that shit… so forget it! I’m all about the regular bucket with water and soap.
If you’re a design person, Jenny and her girl do the best job I’ve seen in making designs in your nails. I never did anything elaborate, but it was fun every now and again.
I noticed that Jenny will take checks from some customers… maybe they have been with her a long time. She told me cash, from day one. Could be a race thing… and that’s pretty shitty of her if it is… Hmm, hard to know… I don’t speak the language… and she’s damned polite and friendly I’ll tell you that much!
So now, I go when I can. She’ll usually take me in a moment’s notice when I need to my eyebrows waxed.
I used to work right off of Convoy which was right around the corner so it was convenient to pop over after a long day at the office… or at lunch time. Not convenient so much any more… but the nail place that is walking distance from my house is MEH… the ladies are curt, I leave there not feeling like I’ve had a good scrub on my heels for the pedicure and the service just is not as good… same price… so I’ll make the trip for special occasions…
Bring Cash
Schedule an Appointment vs. walk in
Try the Nail Designs for holiday or special occasion
Get your pedicure in the bucket vs. Spa Chair
I generally bring my own polish too because I use Revlon Color Stay because I like it to STAY… My manicures last at least 10 days with that stuff! Awesome! — so I no ‘PICK CULA’

Kinda bums me out spending 30 bucks for a pedicure every couple of weeks lately, so when I drove past a huge sign that said «Mani-​Pedi $ 18.99» on the way back to the office after lunch last week, I totally remembered it and decided to check it out!
If you’re looking for a low budget mani/​pedi in Kearny Mesa area then Jenny is your girl man… but dont expect to be in and out in a hurry and also dont expect to be impressed so much with the cleanliness of the «salon»…Jenny does share funny antedotes about nephews working in banks and offer you all the normal extra unneeded services that any other more expensive nail place would offer but seriously… anyone who gets anything waxed there is pretty brave man!
