Persimmon Nails

The tech ladies are all great, especially Wendy. I’ve been there for a number of times for manicures and pedicures. The place has never been very clean, but the last time it was filthy. I won’t be going back until they get it together. Too bad, it’s in a great location, right next to my gym. Very disappointing.

I have been to this place twice… I got gel mani and eyebrow wax first time and eyebrow wax and regular mani second time. I have not been disappointed with the wax they did a great job both times, but the mani’s both times were awful. Will go back for just waxing.

Overall worse nail salon iv’e ever been to, The lady with the tattoo of Chinese writing on the right side of her chest did my nails. She was so disrespectful and rude. She kept throwing my hands around and poorly applied the acrylic, there are air pockets and lifting already. I kept asking for my nails to be shorter to the point where I took the file away from her and did it my self! Who does that? I was so glad to get the hell out of that place. I’m gong to complain to the manager like I should have originally. She really man handled me like I was nothing. Iv’e never met a more rude lady than her, if anybody knows her name please let me know. She left big gaps under my nails and used dirty tools on me. I DO NOT recommend going to this shop ever if you like crappy service and dirty tools this place is for you. Personally for me I’d never spend my money on poor service like that. Too bad she wont have her job for long.

This place was terrible. I went here a few weeks ago with my friend that lives near the salon. We decided to give it a try since it was within walking distance and they stated they served wine. From the moment we went in there, we both knew it was a mistake.
First, they were extremely rude when we asked not to be split up. There was only one other person in the salon and five workers. Then once they gave us «champagne» it was in a bottle with the name crossed off and it tasted like watered down apple juice. Once working on our nails, the technicians made my friend and I use the same dryers for our gel nails where we split it.
My friend wanted a mani pedi then her eye brows waxed. While getting our pedicures, the aesthetician comes and waxes my friends eyebrows while she was in the massage chair. That’s not hygienic at all.
I’m giving two stars ONLY because the pedicures were decent. Last week I went to my regular nail salon in oceanside and my technician stated my nails were basically ruined by the terrible gel polish this place used on my nails. My nails have been breaking and it took my nail technician an hour simply to get the polish off.

I am not sure why this place has low rating, but I love getting my nails done here. The price is reasonable and they do their job right. Love it!

Julie was quietly pleasant and conversant. I thoroughly enjoyed her. It was such a good pedi. Lovely touch and massage.

Terrible! Pedicure lasted half the time of any other place. Gel manicure was about 20 layers & didn’t last long. And with the proper way of removing the gel manicure it still took off a layer of my nails. Has never happened any where else. First & last time I will go there.

So let’s just start by saying that I’m a super picky person! But the lovely Ms. Julie puts it down when it comes to the perfect mani and pedi! She gets everything just right. The salon is always clean and the staff are welcoming to new clients. They offer water, wine, coffee or tea; always a plus! Love you Julie

Good job and price for a pedi, I’m was just so happy the massage chairs worked :) got a nice little run down while my feet got done, can’t complain! The staff was nice and the lady that did mine did a good job.

My Favorite Nail Salon!!! They always take their time and never rush like most places. When painting your nails they make sure to clean up an paint left on the cuticle and they cut them while they paint too! Get the gel, it creates stronger nails and they still look natural!

Worst nail salon I’ve ever been to. I’m okay with the nail ladies talking to each other in Vietnamese, that’s normal. But these ladies didn’t stop talking the entire time. It left no room for me to say anything. They weren’t very nice and the whole place was a little dirty. No wonder I was the only person in there the entire time! Then at the end when she was painting my nails she forgot the second coat on my left hand. I just wanted to get out of there so I didn’t say anything. I can handle it. When it came time to pay she asked me how much I was tipping, and when I get a good fill from a good place I usually am a very generous tipper, usually 10 bucks. So I did 5 for this lady. Which I still thought was too much. When everything was said and done she just got up and went to eat her lunch. No pleasantries like «have a nice day» or anything. It was just a cold experience. Won’t go again.

I am very impressed with how much time and care they put into my pedicure. no other place tries to get it. the relief I feel in my feet now is amazing. thank you.

If I could give negative stars I would! Rude, rude, rude women! I was told ten minute wait but it was 20. I made the mistake of saying I could come back instead of edit but the guy there said one more minute, lie. They kept talking in whatever language they use and laughed obnoxiously like a group of hyenas. I felt like I was in a Seinfeld episode! Never made eye contact with me which sucked because the only thing on tv was Robocop! Instead of removing gel with tools she filed it all away leaving my nails a ragged mess. 6 nails have a weird wavy pattern, probably from the shoddy removal. Soooo disappointed and mad at myself for staying. Benefit from my mistake and avoid this place like the plague! Will NEVER, EVER GO BACK and will tell anyone who listens to go ANYWHERE but here!

The spa chair didn’t work The backing was uncomfortable. The lady who did my pedicure was efficient but I had to instruct her a couple of times to trim my nails shorter. I probably won’t come back.

The ladies were super friendly, the color selection was not fantastic and upon inspection my polish was a little messy. The price was minimal and my wait short. I’m not from the area and only stopped their to kill time before hopping back on the freeway to LA. But they appear to be a great, affordable location for a reasonably priced manicure and pedicure.

I received a pink & white fill on Labor Day and was very pleased. They were the only nail salon open on the holiday. It was $ 35 and she was very thorough and detailed. Her name was Wendy.

Do not go to this nail shop. It will be one of the biggest mistakes of your life.
1. Water for the pedicure was cold. 2. The «spa» chair I had was not working, it kept beeping and turning off. So the lady told me not to touch it. Are you serious?
3. I got the basic pedicure, it cost 19 dollars. I ended up paying 34 dollars because I wanted a white tip and gel. What the heck? 34 dollars for a basic pedicure? Are you kidding me?
4. It wouldn’t be so bad if my nails actually looked nice. My white tips are so crooked and some are fatter then others. I asked for my nails square and guess what? No square.
5. My friend & I were in there from 4:30 to 7:15. How does it take that long to do nails. I just don’t understand.
Oh and on top of all that I had to get out of the spa chair for her to do the gel on my toes so she could put them in the UV light thing. The UV light was for toes so she literally had to shove my feet into the light box. And half my foot was sitting on the dirty ground.
Never again! Never!!! Save yourself the trouble please

Got my nails done here a few months ago and it was just bad. The women who did my pedicure cut my toe and didn’t do anything about the blood. I could have gotten an infection if I hadn’t cleaned it myself afterwards.
Also the paint started to chip right after it was dry.
I will never go back there. They don’t keep things safe and sanitary.

I don’t even want to give this salon one star.
The interior décor is extremely dated, the manicure chairs are on casters so you keep rolling back in your seat on the tile, very uncomfortable. The pedicure chair I was in was broken. My pedicure water was freezing cold, and they didn’t understand me the two times I politely asked for warmer water to be run. Both my manicurist and pedicurist kept juggling me and other clients. It took over two hours for a simple mani pedi ;(Oh, and I also have to mention that the massage aspect of the services was a joke. The pricing doesn’t match up to the quality.
Very disappointing.

I’ll start by saying the lady who did my nails was young and sweet and probably has not been doing nails as long as some of the other ladies. Because they are so nice and because they are close to my house, I really wanted to like this place… I’ve broken down my review below.
Cleanliness: 5 stars. No reused instruments that I could see, and I witnessed the employees scrubbing out the pedicure tubs and cleaning tools in their downtime.
Pricing: 5 stars. Reasonable prices — $ 20-​$ 40 depending on what you want.
Service: 3 stars. There was no wait time when I went in. They do a really lovely job on your nails — they managed to make my stubby fingers look long and lean. The down side is they sanded my cuticles so bad that I had a raw red spot on one nail the next day. Ouch! They also let the gel curing lamps get uncomfortably hot… my hands started sweating.
Quality: 2 stars. The gel simply does not last. I’ve had gel manicures at 3 different salons since moving to San Diego, and both lasted at LEAST two weeks before they started chipping. My gel manicure at Persimmon lasted 6 days before it started getting spiderweb cracks, and 8 days before full on chipping started. At first I attributed this to the French manicure gel I got — I went back in a week to the day and had them take it off and replace it with a solid color (they charged me a discounted rate of $ 27 to redo it). But then a week later, the solid color chipped and peeled also. The only thing I can think is that either (a) the gel coat they are using is too old and has lost its effectiveness, or (b) they are not taking enough time to let is set between layers. Anyway, if you come to Persimmon, just go with the regular manicure, not the gel.
