Le Nails

Came here last minute to get my nails done before Valentine’s Day dinner. I’m not sure what all the bad reviews are about.
The place: Might be a little run down looking, definitely not as fancy as other nail salons I’ve seen, but it’s clean. There is plenty of parking in the plaza. The chair for pedicures was not the most comfortable, but they are tolerable. Prices are reasonable, I did a pedicure and gel manicure for $ 57 + gratuity. They only except cash for tips so make sure you have some with you.
I give 5 starts to the woman who did my nails, her name was Anh. Doesn’t speak much English at all, but she did a very good job and took her time. I currently have a knee injury and walked in limping and with a brace on. I took the brace off for my pedicure. She was super gentle with my injured leg without me even having to say anything to her. She even helped me put my brace back on when it was time to stand up. I would definitely go back here and request her again!

My co-​worker and I got off work early and decided to come here to get our nails done since it’s right next door. I was very hesitant to get acrylics given the other reviews so I opted for a regular manicure. I was serviced by Lele. She was very nice and gentle (didn’t make my cuticles bleed as others left in their reviews). I even had a hang nail on my thumb and she made sure to be extra careful around the area.
If I ever decide to come back for a manicure, I would like to see her again.

I give this place 1 star because the workers were nice. Otherwise, this place deserves a 0. These ladies were rough on my pedicure and fill. I walked out with 2 bleeding fingers (due to excessive/​rough filing)! Then I had to tell her to get alcohol she wasn’t even gonna do anything about it smh.

Absolutely horrible experience at this place. I simply went there to have my No Chip polish removed. The nail tech wanted me to soak my hands in acetone. Most places simply place acetone soaked cotton on the nails. I insisted that I did not want to soak my hand in acetone, so she reluctantly used the cotton balls on clips on my nails. She continued by scraping the polish off — it seemed fairly difficult for her to remove the polish and she proceeded to scrape off much of my nails. It has been a little over a week and my nails are still a wreck. They are breaking off and extremely weak. Clearly they are ruined… I would never recommend this place.

Terrible place to get a full set acrylic lady cut my cuticles I was bleeding. And she did my acrylic extremely thin they were bending they broke off the following day after terrible service don’t go here.

Horrible dirty place with really bad etiquette. Really mean ladies working here. Came here with a couple of friends and every person left the nail salon completely pissed.

Don’t waste your money here! I typically hate leaving negative reviews, but I couldn’t let others make the same mistake I did by coming here. They are getting their one and only star because I was helped immediately with no hesitation & there was no wait time. I usually don’t mind waiting anyways, but it’s a bonus.
I went in for just a regular mani/​pedi, sounds simple right?! Well let’s just say I could have done my nails better myself at home, which I’ll do next time. Usually I’m not even that picky about how well their painted, cuz it’s just a simple polish, but this lady left me with the bumpiest and uneven painting and this is even after I had to ask her to cover my entire nail (the tips and the sides). That happened multiple times for almost every nail. I asked nicely and she didn’t seem to have a problem fixing it each time and even apologized for missing here and there after she realized. But really?! Oh and it gets better… she scratched one of my nails putting me by the drying section, I showed it to her and she made her friend fix it because she said she was busy. It was soo messily done, I almost thought about complaining about having to pay. It was that terrible! I honestly left there very disappointed and slightly annoyed, and wanting to go home and redo it myself. Needless to say, I will never be returning here!

Both my daughter and I got pedicures, and both of us had pain. They cut our cuticles too roughly which caused a tiny bit of blood. My nails were also filed too short and tore the skin. I don’t think we’ll come back.

Pedicures are a ok price, but the quality could be better. I got a French tip & she messed up. So it looks like it’s been done over :/

Well, they did do my nails, but it was nothing too fantastic. I wasn’t offered anything to read during my pedi, the place was dirty, and I received the weakest massage on my hands and feet. The colors were placed fine on the nail, tho, so they got that going for them

Very unwelcoming environment and staff was rude. I asked for acrylics with gel polish and they looked at me like I was crazy. They only had one person on staff able to do acrylics (which makes me question their licensing) and she seemed very annoyed that that’s what I wanted. Then they tell me it’s going to be about $ 50 to do that. I turned around and walked out the door, I will not be paying a premium for terrible and questionable service, very disappointing.

Kim does a great with manicures and pedicures. She took her time and her precision cutting down my nails was awesome. She massage my arms my shoulders and she really didn’t have to but she did. When you put forth the effort, that means a lot to me in my book. I will be seeing her again.

Please do not go to this salon unless you want to get a nail fungus. I now know two people who have developed a nail fungus from this salon including myself in the past year. The equipment and foot baths are not properly cleaned and sterilized. Your health is at risk. If I could give zero stars I would.

Got a gel manicure, 2 days later it was chipping away pretty bad, and my cuticles wouldn’t stop bleeding for 4 days straight, also my fingernails were hurting pretty bad. I do not recommend this place.

I made the spontaneous decision to get a pedicure and went to the first place I drove past – le nails. The pedicure was a great price, $ 22! This included a foot soak, scrub, massage, and lotion. They have a large selection of high quality polishes to choose from. Their massage chairs are comfy and clean. The technicians are polite and helpful and don’t pressure you to buy additional services. I would come back for sure :)

The price is what you’d expect for the Mission Valley area. I only wanted a basic pedicure and I paid $ 22. I was greeted pretty quickly and got a spot on the leather massage chairs. The facility was clean, décor simple, and the sterilization machine was in full view and being used. Overall a good experience but I only gave 3 stars because the leg massage was too short and she switched off with another a few times so she could run to the back to take a phone call. But I will come back definitely for the convenience and because it was clean and they were very sweet. Yeah. I’m easy

Worst nail service ever. First time was awful, second time was even worse; horrible paint job, chipped days later, nails lifted, fell off. Sad.
I asked her to re do them because the nail polish quality was awful! They were not shaped at all, and my nails were not even glued to the plastic correctly so the acrylic wasn’t appropriately applied.
She had such an attitude when I asked, she jerked my hands around and cut my cuticles ! Crazy. DO NOT GO HERE! Sad. There is only one woman who does acrylic, it’s a lose-​lose situation.
I would never spend 42 $ to have my nails fall off and your fingers cut up? And waste two hours. No thanks!
Management handled it decently. But confused me, said I could have my nails redone and no refund. Finally decided to give me a partial refund with having my nails re done, then they involved the woman who did my nails and she said she didn’t want to redo them because I wasn’t happy with her service.
They gave me a full refund, and I immediately went to perfect nail and had a perfect manicure. They even asked who did my nails because they were not done correctly.
So I ended up with a refund but wasted many hours!
Don’t make the same mistake I did.

Well, I was trying to get away from the nail place closest to my house. Which is AWFUL mind you. So I decide to drive down the street, then I realize it’s also a Le Nails. I decide, it’s gotta have different people working so I give it a try. WHAT the HELL was I thinking!!! If you want to get acrylic nails, RUNNNNNN!!! My nails started chipping the same day and I have only one nail left 3 days later. All nails popped right off as if I bought them at Walmart. The only thing I can give them as a kudos is that I went in there and they refunded my money.

I had the most horrible experience.
1: Gel is not OPI nail polish
2: If you consider your self somewhat professional at doing nails you probably WONT leave the previous RED nail polish I had on & continue to put acrylics on.
3: If I specifically ask for square tip why on earth would you give me attitude for having to square rounded tips?! WHEN THAT IS WHAT I ASKED FOR IN THR BEGINNING!
4: Other Nail & Spa attendants were watching Asian novelas or playing games on thier iPad … VERY UNPROFESSIONAL !
My nails looked bad. The lady did not take her time. There was apparent air bubbles in my acrylics & red nail polish along the sides from my previous nail color.
Least to say I will not be taking my business there again. Management needs to step up in that place.

This place is NOT worth your money. I walked in thinking nice! Not a long wait, the place looked okay on the inside but all the workers were just sitting there drinking their boba, leaning back in their chairs and on their cell phones. Not professional at all but okay it’s a nail place fine I looked passed it.
I came in wanting a gel manicure in which they said was $ 25 when I called earlier. They also have a sign saying $ 25 gel manicure So I said okay. I came in with only gel on 3 nails that needed to be removed the rest of my nails had no polish on them. As she started taking off the gel I re-​asked how much it was and then she said $ 25 plus $ 5 to take off the gel. I was thinking what?! Really I’ve never been charge extra, but now what can I do she’s already taking off my gel?! :(anyways, as she started putting the gel I noticed she missed some spots I thought she would fix it as usually they apply more than one coat. Finally when we got to the end where she wanted to put the clear gel on top I had to tell her «Please could u apply more nail polish in my ring finger?» Mind u, she missed like the other half of that nail. C’mon. Also the edges were not clean at all.
So when it was time wipe off the nail, I noticed there were excess nail polish on my skin on both pinky fingers. I asked if she could fix it since she didn’t even wipe off extra nail polish in the first place before putting my hands under the lights. She used her nipper cutter to take off the excess, I yelled «ouch!» As she cut off a big chunk of my skin! I started bleeding and she applied a green solution directly on it. I looked to see what it was (being in the medical field) I didn’t want anything getting into my cut. She didn’t even tell me what it was. So I just pulled my finger away and said «it’s fine I’m going» and she charged me $ 30 still. I paid and left. And my pinky finger still hurts. I posted a picture of it.
It’s just my opinion but I will NOT be returning to this place nor telling anyone to go here…
