The 10 Tiny Canvases — Local services in San Diego

I cannot say enough positive things about Sara’s work, but I’ll try because people should be booking with her ASAP.

The first time I saw Sara I vowed to be a regular client of hers and she recently opened her own location which is so beautiful, clean, and intimate! You’ll adore the atmosphere and huge selection of top notch LONG lasting products. (I mean it, Sara did a manicure of mine using her CND shellac and it lasted OVER A MONTH. THIS IS NOT A DRILL)!

Aside from her comfortable studio and top quality products, Sara takes her time to pay close attention to your cuticles, shaping, and paint. She has nailed multiple manicures and nail art requests. I leave every appointment with a new favorite design.

Finally, since seeing Sara, my natural nails have been so strong. They used to crack and chip endlessly and I never thought natural long nails were in the cards for me, but with Sara’s light and dedicated touch, she’s made it possible.

If that’s not enough, check out pics from mani’s I’ve received from her!

Sara provided a phenomenal service! I got my nails done by her Oct 31, and while the product is advertised to last 2-3 weeks it lasted me 7 (first two photos below)! I went back today (Dec 19) with barely any chips or lifting in the polish. She was very welcoming, and made sure to prepare my nails thoroughly once she started. She also made sure I was happy with every step, from the length and shape of my nails to the color and design of the nail art I was getting. Sara was very attentive and detail-oriented throughout the entire appointment, and made sure everything matched the inspiration photo I showed her. The service ended with a coconut oil and hot towel hand massage, and I left her studio feeling pampered and very satisfied with how my nails turned out (last two photos below). Her studio itself is very clean and relaxing, and Sara is always a pleasure to be around and have conversation with. I’ve been going to her for half a year and every time...

I can’t say enough great things about Sara! I had the most fabulous shellac French manicure today and left feeling well taken care of. As someone who is very apprehensive about having her nails done due to the lack of cleanliness in many salons, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I can assure you that I left my worries at the door when I saw that all of her tools were wrapped in a packaging from being sterilized. She also assured me that the nail file and buffer were single use and that I could take them home at the end of the appointment. I had never seen anything like it. She took her time and tested out a few colours to make sure I was going to be happy with the results. She also encouraged me to provide feedback throughout which I loved! The vibe in her salon is that of a spa and you will leave feeling so refreshed with your nails having never looked better - I promise! I will absolutely be back and will be recommending Sara to my...
