Nail & Relax Spa

I wanted to love this place because it is right around the corner from my work and a coworker recommended them. Also, they had great Unilocal reviews (and that’s what really matters, right?).
I made an appointment to come in today on my lunch break at 2 PM. I arrived a few minutes early but they didn’t start on me until 2:10 PM. I know, only 10 minutes, but I specifically made an appointment because I had limited time, I don’t feel like this was very respected. At my normal nail salon, I see the receptionist turn down walk-​ins all the time because they are ensuring that clients who made an appointment will get seen on time — that is great customer service.
I’m sticking with 3 stars because their gel color selection was pretty lacking and the manicure wasn’t the best. You can see through the polish to the nail, there is some polish on the cuticles… it just looked a bit sloppy. Definitely not the worst gel manicure, especially considering that it was only $ 25… BUT I would be much happier paying $ 5 or so more at my normal place in Little Italy for a better manicure.

I really wanted to like this place since it is so close to work but my gel manicure was disappointing. The technician was rushing the entire time for no reason. I was one of two people in the salon. The gel polish is all over my cuticles and the tips of my nails have a white line. The ends of my nails are rough where she tried to file the white away. The technician kept blaming it on the polish but it is clear that it was her not the polish. Will never go back.

They have a great selection of colors for gel manicures. I got a beautiful burgundy color that I couldn’t find anywhere else. A day later I came back for eyelash extensions and they came out great as well. I’m definitely coming back for my next mani/​pedi.

Came here for the first time and I must say I LOVE the place. The staff were really nice. I had Julia and she did my nails just the way I like it! I will definetly be going here again!

I am semi new to the San Diego area, and have been searching high and low for a great nail place. I’ve been to a handful out here and wasn’t happy with any of them. I am particular of how I like my nails done, and this place is great! They are friendly, hospitable, super clean, and they’ve done a great job on my nails! I would recommend them to anyone who wants good customer service, a clean salon, and beautiful nails! Two thumbs up!

The service was great and the staff was very friendly. I loved the natural products used during my gel mani and spa pedi. Thank you Amy & Stephanie for making my experience so RELAXING…

Based on their reviews and photos on their Unilocal page, I decided to give this place a try and I immediately fell in love. I always get gel/​shellac ($ 27) and I am very picky on how it turns out (paint down to the cuticles and covers the entire nail, perfect gel mani with no bubbles or any added texture). During my first visit, Julia did my nails and she is THE best. I didn’t have to tell her anything and she painted my nails perfectly. After 3 – 4 weeks, I went back to see Julia again, and my nails were painted perfectly again. Needless to say, this is my favorite nail salon as of late and I appreciate the consistency of superb service. Their prices aren’t bad, I used to go to another salon for 6+ years and their prices there were slightly higher. I don’t mind paying for perfect nails and excellent service every time I come here. At least at this salon, they don’t tell me what I can and can’t do. At the other salon, I wanted white nail polish and they always tell me 2 – 3 times that pink or another color looks better. Am I the paying customer or… what? I have never experienced any of that here nor have they tried to hustle me into getting another service done or uncharge me for something. I came back another time for a pedicure and Julie helped me out and she was awesome as well. No complaints at all.
They have a variety of colors (regular/​gel/​natural) to choose from. What salon color coordinates their regular polishes? I thought it was super pretty and it’s so much easier to choose the colors especially if you’re trying to compare the different shades of one color. They also have natural nail products and wine. Highly recommend this place!!! I wish they have more customers because every time I come in, it’s not busy (great for me, right?).

Beautiful place and amazingly nice staff. I brought my 3 year old with me and they turned off the music and turned on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse for her! Just a wonderful experience. I will be back for sure!

New place opened 3 months ago. Went to Sakura nails but the sign said appointment only… Ok big thumbs down. Found this place on Unilocal again since it has 4 ½ stars.
Been needing to get my nails and feet done. Not the type of person to care about coloring all that but I thought it was time lol. I came here on my break from school and I was so excited because it’s been so long! I didn’t get to catch both of the ladies name
but I got my feet and nails done at the same
Time.
I like my pedicure but it’s not really my style for a round French tip. I’m more
Of a straight thicker line but I didn’t mind since she has already started and I didn’t say anything from the jump what I prefer. My toes look nice and clean. And the way she massage my feet felt good!
Now onto my acrylics. I’m in LOVE! This is the first time I got them also and I went with the white and pink powder. The lady really
Took her time doing it. It was definitely time consuming but it came out perfect.
It was really embarrassing in the end because when I was ready to pay I couldn’t find my card. I actually lost it. I was literally freaking out in the salon lol. Luckily I had a pic on my phone with the # that we got to punch in.
Nail salons always remind me of why I never go it’s so expensive!!! Their prices were right but ughhhh can’t do this often. Payed 73 $ total. + tip. My nails are poppin though.
I would like to see More improvements. I will be back.

The owner Suwan (?) And her mom, An, did a great job. I got a pedi by An and by Suwan I got a gel Mani and eyebrow wax. The service was superb. They were super friendly and the shop is extremely clean. The only reason I gave 1 star less is because I thought the prices were a little steep. My total for those three services was $ 70 and that didn’t include the tip. That’s about $ 20 more than I usually spend. Now to see how long my nails stay looking good…

They do a great job with nails, however they overcharge. I kept telling An I wanted the $ 20 pedicure and she tried to upsell me 3 times even though I kept saying no. She charged me $ 28 anyway. On top of that, they had An do my facial instead of the lady who normally does facials. The facial lady was with another client. I don’t know why they wouldn’t just have me wait for the facial lady… it really bothered me that they told me only one lady does facials and they gave me someone else instead who didn’t know what she was doing. And charge me full price. I didn’t notice any difference in my skin afterward when normally I can see it immediately or the same day… I accepted the full charges and gave a generous tip but I know I won’t be coming back.

Im just came last week to get my nails and pedicure done. I love the way the employee here treat me, They are so nice and very friendly. Also, the products that they use for customers are different from others. Its called Nuskin. I highly recommend for those who wanna experience natural products. I will come back and bring more friends.

I found a new nail salon near Mitsuwa. It had a great atmosphere. I got a pedicure and they used good quality message cream. It’s called nu-​skin. My whole leg feels so smooth and looks shiny. The staff is so nice and I had a nice chat with Julia, the manager of the place. Next time I go, I will go with my daughter.

I showed up at 7:15pm and the sign said they closed at 7. The gal was nice enough to take me anyway for a pedicure at that hour, and she did so with a smile. She did a great job, took her time, and made me feel like time was not an issue. The foot massage was very relaxing and the massage chair worked great. I will definitely recommend this place for their pedicures.

Found this beautiful Nail Salon! Amazing highly skilled nail artist! Right away I was greeted and serviced! My natural mani & pedi were beautifully done! I will definitely be coming back for a facial! Highly recommend!

I came here after getting a full set, not individual lashes, at a different salon. I really loved the first place put it is really far away so I tried a new place. I’m still going to try other places as I don’t think they are up to par with my original set. I’ll keep looking in SD and hopefully I find a place.

Yes I’m love to go this place so nice and verry lean and they take your time to do good jod thanx for all the service awsemoe :)))

Very sweet ladies! Very attentive and detailed. The prices were great and they have a large selection of colors. I’m very happy withthe outcome of my gel nails and spa smoothing pedicure. I’m always looking for a new nail place. It was their 2^nd day since opening lol but they were awesome!
