Amy’s Nails and Hair

Cindy is the best nail technician I have ever had. I went here right before closing and she was more than happy to help. She does a great job on my nails and is the sweetest to talk to. She didn’t rush me even though it was 30 min after closing. I will be back for her every time, I highly recommend her!

Despite being a long time customer, I’ve noticed lately the ladies seem to be rude to me, make shaming comments about my toes, and are hurting me when I get a pedicure to the point of bleeding several times. When I say ouch, it seemed to make them mad. It seems as if they no longer want me as a customer, and have even hung up on me a couple times. I always tip very well, and am quite puzzled, but have now gone down the street to nail expressions, and they do a great job and are friendly!

If I could give this place no stars I would! I noticed half way through my manicure that the woman doing my nails had been using DIRTY instruments, sharing them between clients instead of using a fresh pack for each. absolutely horrific! I was so freaked out I didn’t wait for my nails to dry, I payed and ran out! She also went very fast, it was very unwelcoming and uncomfortable. i do not recommend you using this place unless you don’t mind catching bacteria and germs from their unhealthy habits!

I have been going to Cindy for 15 years. The girls need to learn that when you make an appointment it means «appointment.» The past year she had made me wait several times because she took someone who walked in off the street and did not want to turn them away. What courtesy is that to me? The last time I waited 40 minutes for her to finish someone who walked in and I had another appointment somewhere else and had to go. I just left! I didn’t even get a call apologizing for inconveniencing me. Cindy lost an every two week manicure and a pedicure from a good customer just because she didn’t want to lose a customer that just walked in. Wake up… this is not the way to treat a long time customer.

This review is for me and my boyfriend. I would have given 3.5 stars if it was based on my experience alone. They have me an extra long massage and took care of my nails.
What I didn’t like is that I had to ask them to use new tools on me. They weren’t clean. I don’t think they sanitized there tools and they tried to use a used file on me.
For my boyfriend. His first manicure and pedicure. Worst experience of his life. They cut way more then his cuticles off. On top of that they made him bleed. Like alot. I’m not over exaggerating. It was dripping blood! They tried to put they liquid band aid in on him. He told them he didn’t want it but they still did it. And made look the cut look even worse. They tried to make him pay for his whole service!

I been going here for over a year and and I LOVE LOVE L O V E this place. First of all ask for Lee, and make sure you get an appointment with her. She literally is the est and i have searched high and low for a good nail tech. Not to mention I’m a frequent customer, which means I’m there every two weeks. My nails have never broken and I like them medium long. she always updates colors and she does great eyebrows! If you like acrylic, coffin nails, kylie Jenner or stiletto she really gets the shape on point to a tee!
The prices went up $ 5 so a fill is 25 w/​gel and $ 35 for a full set with gel, but even when I consider going to a different (cheaper salon) i am NEVER satisfied and to be honest she has had to fix other peoples fills and mistakes when im in a rush or forgot to make my appointment. so dont forget youll be sad

That was literally the worst manicure of my life. Never mind that I made an appointment and still had to wait 20 minutes. The files and scissors weren’t freshly cleaned. She slathered my arms in lotion — like kept slathering 3 – 4 times — and then had me get up to go wash them. I may be spoiled in SF but I usually have my arms wiped down with warm towels when I get a mani.
But the worst part is how she painted them. It looks like a 5 year old did it. Polish all over my finger, except at the top of the nail which already looks chipped. Ok $ 7 is cheap but I want the last hour of my life back. Yes it took an hour. Wow.

Lee is a polished professional she lays acrylic so well shapes nails naturally cleans underneath (with out asking) and paints good nails always perfect she is so efficient the shop isn’t fancy but the work is excellent Lee is gentle and really knows how to do nails. This is my new spot 5^th time oh and pedicures very simple but good Tina rocks.

This place is really great! I got a gel manicure for $ 20 from Lee & she is very nice! I felt very comfortable & will definitely be returning. Thank you Lee & Amy’s Nails!

Meh. Not the greatest experience, yet not the worst. They don’t seem to understand the point behind having an appointment; I had to wait 15 minutes while they took care of walk-​ins.
Gel manicure was quick and not very thorough. Polish is a little sloppy and my nails feel «rough» for lack of a better term.
If the polish lasts the normal amount of time, I may go back. But I’m expecting it to chip faster than normal since it looks like they use cheaper products.
In my experience, a gel manicure is usually around $ 28. This place charges $ 20. So maybe it’s just more of a «you get what you pay for» type scenario…

Lee = best nail lady everrrrrrr! Highly recommend. she never disappoints & is always very quick. Always friendly and sweet. Great service. I’m always happy with my nails.

Instead of getting my eyebrows threaded, I decided to come back to see Lee to get my brows done! She did a phenomenal job!!! Usually, I come here to get a gel mani and pedi, but Lee is great with brows too! What’s also great is that Lee is very personable! I’ve moved around San Diego quite a bit and still come see Lee every so often and she still recognizes me! I highly recommend this place and highly recommend Lee!

This place is just alright. I just moved to the area from IB so I’m in the process of finding a new regular salon.
They had one customer when I got there for a pedicure and I still had to wait ten minutes.
The two ladies working only talked amongst themselves and I don’t think ever stopped chit-​chatting to each other the entire time I was getting a pedi.
Not a great selection of colors nor great selection of good brands (where’s the OPI?)
All in all, my pedi came out fine but the customer service is not so great. I’ll probably go elsewhere next time.

Thank you so much. I went to luxury salon down the street for my nails and couldn’t believe how bad my nails cane out and for all that money I spent. They were hideous.
I came here on a Saturday afternoon, it wasn’t busy but there were several women ahead of me with appointments. However, their appointments were very fast. Lee took care of me and listened to my horror story. She was amazing. She gave me her card with cell phone number. I’ll be back for sure.

A fan of the prices, not so much the gel manicure. She sanded my nails with the thing they use to sand down acrylics and she sanded them pretty thin on the surface, so it hurt in the UV light, then painted over little hairs that I can see through the coating. She also should have done three coatings instead of two. She offered to redo the nails with the little hairs trapped in the paint, but I declined because I’d really rather not thin them out further.

Came here last night to get my nails done. I loveeee them. I always ask for very simple nails but somehow nearly every place manages to mess them up. But Lee did a great job. she listened to what I wanted & thats what I got. Im happy. They painted my little sisters nails too, she had a fun time. Everyone here is really friendly, I will be coming back. (:

I’ve always been the kind to only get acrylics done for special events but once I started going here I was so happy with the service I’ve started getting done by Lee regularly. She always listens to what I want and does it perfectly! I always have had a hard time getting my nails done because it is usually painful but Lee is very gentle. If you want a design bring a picture and Lee will let you know what she can do. I’m in love with mine and highly recommend her!

I came here earlier this week with my two cousins. When I called, I asked if they could do 3 people at the same time and they said yes. When we arrived, we were the only customers, but there were only two employees working, so one of us needed to wait (not what I wanted).
The color selection was okay – lots of red and pinks, but thankfully I found a taupe/​grey.
There was a major fly problem in there and no one wants flies bothering them when they’re trying to relax during a pedi.
Then, a woman came in and started some drama, and the employees felt the need to vent to us and justify the nail repair pricing they gave her after she left, and even hypothesized where she got her horrible nails done. A little TMI if you ask me, and we don’t really care.
Then, as we were getting our feet done, they painted our toes before giving the massage. What? Everything was done backwards.
I guess you get what you pay for. All the neighboring salons couldn’t accommodate 3, so we went with this one. I guess for $ 16 you can’t complain too much, but the experience was just s little weird.

Lee is seriously so good! I really like coming to this place because I don’t feel like I’m a burden! They do a really good job, and I always get a full set when I go in!
I highly recommended this place for anyone that goes to sdsu, it’s close and it’s affordable for that college student life!

Finding a nail artist is as risky as trying to find a new stylist but at Amy’s Nails, I have NEVER been let down. Friendly staff and the very talented Lee always make me feel at home and always make me walk out happy. Doesn’t a pretty mani pedi make you feel good?
Although I live downtown now, I still make the commute to see Lee every two weeks so she can make my nails look great. I like my nails (acrylics and shellac) real short, and I still have the horrible habit of biting them, but she always transforms them to exactly my preference and not a day passes that I don’t get a compliment on how great they look.
I SERIOUSLY recommend making this your new home as well! Lee for the awesome manicure and Nyguen for your pedicure… You’ll walk out feeling like a new women. A staff that is friendly and listens with a massage pedicure chair to go along with them is a girls perfect getaway. Go see them! You won’t walk out unhappy!
