Apollo Nails & Spa

I’ve been going to Kim for two years now and she is the greatest! I’ve been nothing but completely satisfied and have recommended the salon to friends. Clean, well-​kept facility and very nice staff!

I am a regular at this establishment but for a few months I have not been feeling valued as a customer and today after my last experience with my nail tech Kim I decided that I am cutting ties with this outfit. I continued to go because I appreciated sense of humor and 85% of her work. However, it would do good for her to understand that she will be better off to LISTEN to what the customer wants and NOT what she feels or wants to do. Suffice it to say I am not pleased with her work today and at times I have had to insist in getting what I want. Silly of me to struggle when I am paying her, one would think it was the other way around. Also I think it is important for her to be aware of the difference between customer friendly and nosy. Finally, cross-​talking in another language, while your client is right there, is rude and uncomfortable. I also speak another language; I can understand getting carried away at times, but this seems to be unfortunately customary there and it is rude.

Kim does my nails. I call her ahead of time and when I arrive she has an awesome design ready. Love her doing my nails. And a very clean place with friendly staff

Visited this nail salon today for the first time and they did such an amazing job on everything! I got a gel mani/​pedi and my fiancé got a pedi and an eyebrow wax. The mani was done by Christine and my toes were done by Gel. I forget the lady’s name that did his eyebrows but I think she’s the owner. They were all gentle and paid attention to detail. They made sure that they looked «perfect» before we left. They had to stay a few mins late because we got there at 6 (they close at 7) but they weren’t rushing. I would highly recommend this nail salon for anyone that lives in Tierrasanta! The location is great!

I love the way Kim does my eyebrows. She is the only person in SD I let touch them. If you don’t want to end up looking like Ronald McDonald or the golden arches themselves, this is a great place to go.

The woman who did my pedicure was wonderful. The man who did my manicure was sloppy and not friendly either. When I asked him to paint a corner of my nail he grabbed my hand and as he was fixing it he touched my wet nails and left a finger print on my thumb. He treated me as if i did it. He just painted over it another coat but it is still visible. Very unhappy and will not be returning. I got my manicure two days ago and this is what it looks like… Jagged edges, sloppy, inconsistent color. I could have done this myself. take your money elsewhere.

My wife and my daughter got their nails and toes done. I am so upset I spent $ 120 on crap! My daughters nails are lumpy, uneven, crooked. I now have to go pay someone else to fix this. I would give this place a zero if i could.

Took my girls for a kids mani-​pedi. They had two cute spa kids chairs and were able to pick a movie on the portable dvd player. They were also given a drink. talk about being pampered! The ladies were so accommodating and even took a picture of the 3 of us getting our nails done. Thank you for pampering my girls and making them feel so special!

Place looks great. That’s about it. Pedicure was the fastest I ever had. Only thing I could think of is a drive thru. Only we were done they got up and walked away. I sat there for 2 mins before I realized they had moved on to someone else. My wife’s nail job was messy and my little toe was bleeding. Shall not be returning.

I having been coming here for a few years now and love it! Christine does an excellent job with my gel nails and pedicure. She is also great at waxing.
If you are looking for a new salon, give them a try!

Kim does great nails! I got my nails done about two weeks ago and the gel, color, and design are all still intact. My nails were filed to a good length and the edges were squared properly.
The place is very nicely decorated and clean. There’s even pedicure chairs for kids! I wouldn’t have my nails done anywhere else. I would suggest making an appointment with Kim ahead of time as some holidays or days of the week get too busy for a walk-​in.

Been going here for several years for pedicure. Not just for women… a secret this man is willing to share! Great place… very attentive… nice gals… fun…always get top-​notch treatment. Jan, the owner, takes care of me personally… couldn’t be happier with experience.

Absolutely LOVE this place. Kim did my nails and saved them. Previously I had gone to another salon. Not a good experience there so I was on the hunt for a new salon to get my nails done after work. Walked into this place at about 6pm and got seated right away. Kim was very friendly and was able to rebuild and shape my nails perfectly after the damage from the last salon. I’m not very sensitive but Kim was very gentle with removing my old nails even on my cut hand that it actually felt good to get them taken off. She also checked with me often to see if the shape and length were exactly what I wanted. My friend had Tommy work on her nails and she also loves her new set. They even brought us water and talked with us like we were old friends. This is definitely the kind of salon I want to be at. While we were here, there were many calls to make appointments so it might be wise to make one if you want to come here. Since we came so late, I think we got lucky, but I’ll be scheduling my appointment soon. A little expensive but the quality and the experience are well worth it. Can’t wait to go back for my fill and fun.
Thank you Kim, I completely love my nails!

I have never received such a horrible, thick, uneven, gel french manicure in my life.
I went to this nail salon for a gel french manicure and a french polish change on my toes.
The guy doing my nails did not ask me how thin or thick I wanted the polish or for my approval before sticking my hand under the UV light.
The manicure I received from them actually ruined my entire afternoon. I plan on going to another salon to get them fixed as soon as possible.
When it came time to do my toes, even though my manicure was done and there were plenty of pedicure seats open for me to sit in, he put my foot on his knee under the manicure desk to paint them! So unprofessional and uncomfortable!

So Kim is great… I good to know that I can always count on her. I never had to work about lifting. Her work is so good that I see her every other month for my fills.
Her work is very good and would recommend her to anyone. Stop by and tell her Lonet Sent you.
Everyone in the shop is pleasant.

Two stars for decent pedicures, bottled water and comfy chairs/​atmosphere… The acrylic nails are awful. Christine is super quick and rough; it’s a very painful process. I’d deal with the pain if the end result was nice, but they look terrible. The nails are super thick; tips are unpainted; there’s dried blood in my nail bed from where she cut me with the electric file (never apologized or cleaned it); acrylic and nail polish are stuck to my skin all over; and the corners of my real nails underneath are sharply sticking out. I definitely need to get them fixed. I realize this is totally «first world problems,» but the point is you shouldn’t pay good money for a service to have this type of experience.

Another exceptional experience. Called ahead and arrived to have Kim for a full and Christine for a pedi. I showed the new design from Pinterest to Kim and she just started in with no questions asked. I also brought my autistic son for a pedi and all were very accommodating 9 years old). I did go at1:00pm and the atmosphere was more quiet to accommodate. I love this place ! There is nothing they won’t try!

I went in for a mani/​pedi and walked out disappointed. My manicure was awful. I was asked if I wanted my nails cut and I specifically said only slightly trimmed. My nails are very short now. The polish looks terrible. I could have done a better job myself. It’s uneven, wavy, and started chipping just a few hours after I left the salon. I’m not happy at all. And to make matters worse I was cut on my toe while getting the pedicure. No apology or anything. I will not be going back!

I love this salon! It’s elegant, very clean and the staff is so friendly and accommodating! There’s an abundant amount of gel and regular polish to chose from. Kim does an excellent job! Long, deep massages, hot towels — just lovely! The entire staff does a great job. Jennifer, the owner runs a wonderful salon. I’ve found my salon after trying several!

Not impressed.
Asked for square and got that wide duck look. I wanted thinner and natural looking.
Got to the point were I was like yeah, thank you just to get done.
Needless to say I came home to fix them myself.
Very important event next week and they looked like absolute s@&t.
Acrylic and glue all underneath…
Would not recommend! Sad when even your husband says… They look like crap.
