Nail Care & Spa — Local services in San Diego

I’m so glad I took the chance and tried this place. I am quite loyal, so once a place has earned my business it’s theirs to lose. After too many lifted nails to count at my old salon coupled with numerous attempts to make it right, I finally tried a new shop. This one is established and had great reviews. The big bonus is that it is just a short walk from my house in east village. My nail tech was Kim. She advised me that a new set was in order and I agreed. I asked for ombré pink and white. She did a beautiful job. My nails are shaped beautifully and look clean and classic with an edge due to their coffin shape. I also had a gel polish change on my toes. They also turned out great. The shop is clean and simple but relaxing with spa music playing. It is centrally located and has a pay parking lot half a block away for those who don’t want to fight street/ metered parking. Overall it was a great experience. I’ll be back and can easily imagine this place becoming the go to neighborhood spot I’ve been...

Excellent service! I was able to make a same day appointment for the services I needed easily. It was my fist time visiting Nail Care & Spa, the staff were friendly and flexible when I called to let them know I was running late to my appointment due to parking (since the salon is located downtown and my appointment was on a busy Saturday) Both of the nail techs that worked with me were attentive to all the little details (that matter the most to us customers), clean application, appropriate nail care prep, all the above! My nails were done nearly 3 weeks now and I haven’t had any lifting, chipping, or other issues. My pedicure was fabulous and I appreciated how promptly the staff cleaned not only the foot bath but the complete chair after a client left. The price for everything was lower than I expected for the quality of service and I was thrilled to tip a little extra than I had planned. Overall it was a treat to find this place, and I will...

After looking at nail salons all over downtown San Diego, I decided to stop by and see if they had anytime for a walk in. I immediately got in and just got a gel manicure. In my hometown I’ve always just gotten an acrylic set but with me being here for an extended period of time I decided it would be fun to get my nails done with something simple and “long lasting”. They turned out great with a great price! I would go back there if I actually lived here or am going to be here longer. I did noticed a few walk ins that were able to be taken care of in a timely manner, so that seems to be popular here. It was a plus for me! My only advice is to preplan your walking route if you choose to walk there. 8th and 9th street coming from ash street are very populated with homeless crowding the sidewalks with tents. Coming from 9th street I decided to detour to 7th as I was walking alone and then cut across. It’s definitely not their fault but just...
