Palm Nails

First and last time coming here. I got a manicure and a pedicure. When the technician was doing my pedicure she was going to use the same acetone she used on another client. When I moved over to the manicure, she cut me twice and immediately poured alcohol in my finger. Do not come here.

So i just came back from my manicure with Palm Nails and Vivian was the one that did my manicure and wax. She is very sweet and she is very professional. She did such a great job. I will definetely make an appointment with Vivian. The prices are very reasonable and cheap, with agreat job well done. Ill let my friends and family know about palm nails. Palm nails you just won yourself a regular customer.

Nails done by new guy I think his name is Tyler??? Sarah ’ s brother in law! He did such a great job on my nails. Yes the wait was long, but was worth the wait. They take time on each client so be patient and you will be happy in the end. Love this place!!!

Went here for the high rating but never again! I got there 9:30am and didn’t get seated until 10:30! Once they sat me down she left for 15 minutes. She kept getting calls and leaving! I can’t even say the wait was worth it, I completely disliked the acrylics she did (I asked for coffin shaped) on one of my nails it was rounds and the other side was straight I asked if she can fix it put she made it worse! Plus she cut me so many times with the nail filler. That’s not even the worst part, she had a cut and got blood on me! Such a horrible experience, never going back.

Went for a gel mani at 6:20pm on a Monday night, long story short, I didn’t get one because I was skipped for another person’s eyebrow wax and another person getting a fill. By 7:05, the lady told me to put my hands in a bowl of cold water and left me there long enough for my fingertips to get wrinkly. Just wanted a little ‘me’ time. Oh well, won’t come back here again. Ended up doing it myself at home!

First time here and loved it. Came in an hour before closing (Monday night) and Sara still took me in for a full french set. She works fast and is never distracted. She seems to be the new owner and the specials they have going on right now are great.
Overall, love the service and work, will definitely come back again ! Thank you Sara !

Love this place

I love it here. Sara never dissapoints. I had my nails done by Linda today and she was amazing. She has such a steady hand and her designs are so good! You can tell that everyone here takes their time on the work that they do, making sure that their customers are happy.

I love this place! I get my eyebrows done by Sarah & she does a great job. I also get a gel mani for $ 20 & a regular pedicure for $ 15. You may add treatments for $ 5 more like a scrub or a mask. The prices are reasonable & the service is great. All the nail technicians are well trained & I’ve had no problems with any of them. If you’re looking for a new nail salon I would recommend this place for sure!

This time got a pedi and fill both with art work for Halloween. Had Ivy again for my fill and had someone else for my pedi. Everyone was super nice and very gentle.

Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon for a basic pedicure. My wait time was only about 10 minutes which was nice. The girl that did my pedi just didn’t seem like she wanted to be at work. She was harsh on my feet and didn’t really work on it at all. I didn’t say anything up until she started painting my toes… I was so disappointed. I myself could’ve done a better job, the reason I’m going to a nail shop is to feel pampered. Not to get bad service or I might’ve just stayed home and did it myself. I just asked for the basic pedi. She didn’t speak any English which was fine but just the way she did my pedi was a no go. I also got my nails done and Linda, I believe was great. She was friendly and attentive.
The place overall is smaller but not over crowded. Clean space and they do accept cards. Their services are on the more reasonable side so that’s nice.
I’ll defiantly be back but the next time I will be sure to ask for someone else to do my pedi.

I always get a gel mani and regular pedi here.
I always have Linda do my mani. She does an amazing job.
This time around Annie did my toes and she did an amazing job as well. Very fast and thorough.
The thing i love about getting my nails done here is one, they don’t charge you an arm and a leg plus the girls haven’t nipped me once here! They’re also very kind and friendly.
They always use new/​clean tools which is a plus for me.
Thank you for your service ladies!

New management/​owners. I’m always happy with my service here. The nail ladies english skills aren’t the best, but they never seem to be too pushy to upgrade my pedicure service. I always have brutal hangnails that they manage to get out. One day I wanna try a foot scrub when my ticklish factor is lower.

I’m really not sure how I should rate this, my feet look awesome and they’re so soft but… I was clipped when my cuticles were being trimmed. I didn’t get an apology, she did everything to try to conceal it, but I felt it!!! prices are good and like I said she did a good job, I feel like she should’ve owned up to it and at least offer an apology. Also, they are very busy, just putting it out there.

Sara is amazing and always does an amazing job on my nails! I used to see Sara at her old location. I am so happy to see her again in her new location!
Sara is such a nice lady. She really listens and delivers when I have a specific design in mind. When I don’t have a design in mind, she always surprises me with something trendy! My nails always look so fresh. She must use really good polish because my nail color seem to last really long.
It’s really cool to get awesome nails for such a great price. I feel like I get a deal every time I go but it’s regular price. I end up giving her more tip because I feel so bad!
This location is very nice and clean. I always feel very relaxed when I’m getting my nails done here.
I absolutely love Palm Nails! Go see Sara! She’ll make your nails so pretty!

I came in because I saw that this location just opened. Right away the man at the desk was friendly and asked me to sign in and check the boxes that applied to the services that I needed. I asked right away if they had time to sit me down for a pedicure and fill because I saw they where busy. He said that they will sit me down for the pedicure right away (which they did) however she took only 10 minutes and was rushing because they had people waiting. They very rudely moved me and asked me to wait for the fill which I was fine with … 1 hour later !!! I left without a fill. DO NOT COME HERE they are rude, Rush the job and don’t give you a time frame of wait time. I never am one to write negative reviews but this was horrible and I will NEVER COME HERE

When I walked in, there was a sign in sheet: Name, Time, Service, Manicurist. I put my information down and had a seat. There were 2 names in front of me. There was no point because they didn’t even look at the list. The 2 women were helped and I sat there patiently, deciding on colors. Another woman came in and she was seated immediately. «What do you need?» She said «Mani Pedi» «Over there.» and she was serviced. I gave her benefit of the doubt and thought, maybe she had an appointment? Next person came in. «How can i help you?» «Mani and eyebrows» taken to the back and seated after. What’s going on I thought? Finally I said «Excuse me? I’m trying to get a mani pedi?» «Oh! You waiting? Ok. 1 minute.» Yeah… What did they think I was doing? I didn’t go in there for the aroma…
Not the best nail place and the chick nipped my toes. She asked if I was ok and I said «yeah, why?» she said «Oh, just wondering» and quickly covering up the blood dripping from my toe nail. I was reading a magazine at the time and didn’t notice. An apology would’ve been nice.
She was honest and told me the color I chose was not going to work on my toe nails and to choose a different color. She was hesitant to put them on my fingers but then was ultimately impressed with herself when the color turned out nice. She told me she didn’t think it would look good on me but surprised when it did. It’s actually a color I really like but what do I know? I’m just the customer. She’s the expert.
I had this all done on Valentine’s Day. When she asked what my plans were, I said just going to a club with some friends. She, a bit rudely, murmured «Good luck» under her breathe. I asked «haha for what?» She said «Oh I meant good luck! I hope you find a guy.» It’s funny how people automatically assume a single female is always on the hunt for a husband but that’s more political than reviewing of the actual establishment.
The price was not bad. The manicure lasted days. It was not done with love. The regulars were treated nicely but I guess to get good service you had to be a part of the «in» crowd. I’ll go to Walmart next time.

Ask for SARA. she’s the owner and she does good work. for a inexpensive place to go for your nails you should come here.

I have finally found the hidden gem! Seriously, this area does not have a great selection of salons and I have been to some bad ones (nail spa plus). I have only been to this salon twice but it is already my favorite spot in South San Diego. I’ve been trying to get Sara but she is a busy lady. Luckily I have had Christina «tweety» both times and wow. love love love! I will always come here for my nail services because they are the best!!!

Under new ownership. I was not a regular with the previous management, but my sister and I followed the new owner, Sara, from another salon. Sara is quick, efficient, and knowledgeable. They recently made upgrades to the salon, including new spa chairs that REALLY massage, and fresh paint and furniture. This place was not very appealing pre renovation, the paint was dated and gave a dark feel. I love the new look. Sara takes pride in her business, and would jump at the opportunity to make it right if you are less than satisfied. Truly a family operated business. Very clean, sanitized and sterile.
