Pro Finish Nails

POSSIBLE INFECTION! I want to like this place because it’s so close to my house, BUT… they were really rough when taking my original gel polish off and cutting my cuticles. I bled on both my thumbs and ring finger. She tried to hold pressure to stop the bleeding and then later just tried to paint over the blood. I’m an RN so I know possible infection when I see it, and so I ended up soaking my fingers in peroxide. Keeping my infected fingers crossed that it works.

Just moved to San Diego & need a new nail salon. found this location with good ratings close to where I was working. Unfortunately when I walked in and asked for a pedicure & manicure the lady was on the phone and told me they were too busy. mind you there was zero people waiting only 2 techs and 2 customers already in progress. Unsure why I couldnt wait or they didnt want to help me as I get regular services and shellac. oh well.

Got my eye lash extentions for the first time ever. Stephanie did them & they look amazing! She also did my eye brows for a discount. You can’t help but love this lady, she knows what she’s doing and knows what she’s talking about. She takes her time to make sure the job is perfected.

I come here for pedicures because I’m always in the area and want cheap, affordable pedicures. I have nothing bad to say about the regular pedicures.
I’m going to back track real quick. A year ago, I got a French pedicure and didn’t notice til the next day that my toenails had air bubbles. I stopped getting French pedicures here and just went in for regular pedicures… until today. Went back and got a French pedicure and noticed air bubbles. I asked my nail lady about it, and she was gracious enough to redo the toenails that had air bubbles… but they were still there… For this establishment being around for years, you would think they would perfect their techniques.
If you’re coming in for regular pedicures, I recommend. As far as French pedicures go, I wouldn’t recommend unless you have the time to wait longer to get the air bubbles fixed.
Two stars for the super nice ladies and the price for their pedicures.

5 stars for Jennifer! At first sight, this nail salon is not that nice inside, but I have been to Jen a few times now and she has not disappointed. She is fast, does a great job at my pedis and gel manis, and you can’t beat the price. Her foot/​hand massage is nothing to brag about, but as long as she does a good job on my nails, I don’t mind about the mediocre massage. Go to Jennifer!

Basic pedicure for $ 18. Cheaper compared to most places.
The atmosphere wasn’t very welcoming. The massage chair I had was broken. And the ceiling fan was squeaking.
They also charge extra $ 1 if you pay with card.
I most likely won’t come back.

I’ve been going here for about 7 years and have had an amazing experience every time. There are two locations in Mira Mesa, both in which have an amazing staff. I would suggest making an appointment before hand since they’ve been getting very busy lately.
Stephanie, Lily, and Julie are usually the ones I see. They’re amazing! If you tell them exactly what you want, that’s what they’ll do!

My family and I have been going here for probably over ten years! And the only person we will go to is Julie. She is very thorough with everything make sure you have an appointment though because she can get very busy.
I’ve done everything with her from acrylics, gel, mani, and always pedis. You can tell she has an ocd with her work she wants to make sure you are satisfied and if she feels that it doesn’t look nice she will redo it (this means her custom flower designs which are the best). My favorite things to get from her are pedis. The nail polish last over a month they never chip off. And the way she cleans your feet is amazing she even massages your legs and feet not a lot of salons do this anymore. As far as gel and acrylics they both last about a little over a month as well and here they don’t over charge you. A few days ago I got a gel manicure with a pedicure for only $ 37! That includes the flower design she did on my toes.
I have gone to other places and people even to different states and I’m very picky with how my nails look. And it’s nothing comparable to her work. Wouldn’t recommend any where else!
Picture posted of her work from a few days ago still looking new!

Horrible. The old lady could not perform my ombré fill so I just settled for a repair on one of my nails– to be painted white. EXTREMELY shaky hands. Almost 1 hour for 1 nail. She did not get the shape (casket) or length right although she compared it? Got acrylic stuck to my finger and kept scratching my hand to get it off had to use a nail clipper to cut it off. She said she was done but only used white primer acrylic –_​_​– I asked for it to be painted white! And to top it off, I had to put my hand in the LED light 6 times. She came and checked on me and commented, «oh, it’s still not dry?» –well I don’t think it was LED polish & topcoat to begin with. Even the paint job was horrible, all over my cuticle.

I’ve only been to Pro Finish 3 times but I don’t want to go anywhere else now! I go to the one next to Lucky Seafood & Stephanie always does an amazing job on my nails-​super thorough & clean! She never disappoints & she really cares about the client. The service is excellent they certainly don’t drain your wallet. My new number one nail salon!

I’ve been here twice. The first was when I got my acrylics for the first time and the owner did for me. She was on her phone the whole time which made me uncomfortable since I want her concentrating on my nails. I thought she did okay. My second time was to get a mani and pedi and Katie was the one who did my nails. She’s is soooo good! I really recommend her. My nails are so clean and perfect. Better than what the owner had done. It’s cheap and good quality service. Now I know who to book for when I make an appointment.

This place sucks it was small and they have you sit on an office chair instead of massage chairs. Their also kind of rude NO CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE what’s so ever!

I came here today to get a pedicure after I had such a great experience last time but unfortunately, I did not receive the same experience.
The nail polish colors on the shelves were old and some of the color had already separated into two colors. They also have very limited color selection which made it hard to pick a color.
I was immediately taken in and I sat in the office chair that was uncomfortable this time around and soaked my feet in an electric bucket covered with a trash bag with warm water. The lady that was doing my nails seemed sweet but very quiet and barely talked. She gave me the most painful pedicure that I had experienced in my life. She was really digging at my cuticles and filing my nails super hard. It wasn’t even relaxing at all, with the pain and the uncomfortable office chair.
As I sat there trying to distract myself from the pain, I was observing how everyone else was doing their jobs and it makes me really wonder how sanitary this place is. It made me nervous and gave me anxiety to even think that this nail salon was unsanitary and that there was a high possibility that I might contract something.
As she painted my nails, it was looking pretty horrible but miraculously, my nails turned out to be pretty good. But I could’ve just saved myself the pain and my $ 14 and just done it myself at home.
I don’t think I’ll come back unless I specifically make an appointment with Lily (the first girl that gave me such a pleasant experience).
I still do not like the interior. It looks ghetto, dirty, and outdated.

Outstanding experience, all around. I went to the location by Wings n Things at first, telling them that I needed both a pedicure and manicure, and what kind for each. The owner told me that there wasn’t enough staff at the moment to do what I needed done, and immediately called her other location across the street by Lucky Seafood and told them in detail what I needed done and that I was on my way over. As soon as I got to the other location, they started filling up the footbath and getting out supplies. Very prompt. I received a gel, French tip manicure (with blue polish) and matching toes with designs. I got them done late November, both the manicure and pedicure are still in tact with no chipping whatsoever. The cost was $ 44, not including tip. The music was also played very low volume, which was very nice. I will definitely be going back here.

I went there yesterday and got pink and white and I left with bubbles from the gel and too much of the pink at the tips where it looks like a shadow on some nails. They were too much in a hurry to get to the next person. Going back today to see if they will fix it.

I just went in today and I got a seat right away. I was brought to a woman named Julie and she was amazing. You could really tell she really cares that she gets your nails done right. I got an acrylic French tip with gel for only $ 30. Pretty good deal. She was really friendly too! Definitely will be going back.

Im on vacation and was Unilocaling for a place and saw the reviews about Jennifer being fantastic at profinish nails. I made an appointment with her for 315pm and my bf also got a Mani Pedi. She was on time for my appointment and another lady took my bf. They both did a quality job. Jennifer takes her time and the polish looks great from the way she applies it. I always prefer OPI nail polish. I was glad to see that even the base coat was opi.
It’s been a while since I got a pedicure. Jennifer really knows how to clean and trim cuticles. She is very careful and doesn’t hurt you one bit. The only reason I give this place 4 stars is because they didn’t have spa chairs. It was 21.00 for a mani and pedi. Great deal, can’t complain.
I’ve been to many fancy places, but sometimes all the fluff isn’t worth the money when you walk out and aren’t satisfied. I was totally satisfied and tipped Jennifer 8 dollars.
Got my lip waxed, it was basic. Nothing to rave about. I tipped two dollars. My bf tipped his lady 5 bucks. They really take goo care of you here. I would recommend it if you don’t mind mediocre setting to get your nails done.

It was the first time I ever got my nails done professionally.
French manicure-​$ 25
Plus gel-​$ 5 more
$ 30 total including acrylic nails.
It looked fabulous, I got many compliments. It was for homecoming :)
But still pretty expensive.

I have actually been going here off & on due to being moved around and wanting to try something different. Something about this place always has me coming back, maybe it’s the affordable prices, maybe it’s convince (since I live in Mira Mesa). A week before my birthday I decided to get a pedicure, I called the shop & informed the person on the other end I wanted to make an appointment with Jennifer. Unless the phone calls are forwards to a house & Jennifer lives there — Jennifer herself said, «I don’t work today» In my mind I thought «Why are you at the shop?» Anyways, I made an appointment with Jennifer when she is available which is the next day Monday at 6pm.
When I arrived to the shop I was greeted by 2 of the 3 workers. I sat down and was instructed to pick my color, I did.
After Jennifer was done with her client I was told to have a seat. Water was perfect; they protect the plastic machine with a plastic bag (looks ghetto but works for them). Jennifer took her time & was very through. I originally picked a pink/​orange OPI nail polish but when she looked at it she suggested another polish that would work with my skin, which was pink/​pink. I actually liked it a lot better. She said, if you don’t like it I can change it.
When the polish was finished I sat in the drying area for 45 minutes (my choice). Then I watched her complete another persons pedicure. I like Jennifer’s work ethic, she is nice, attentive, detail oriented & make sure the client is satisfied.
PRO
— ample parking
— plenty of colors to choose from including OPI
— Jennifer is the best
— workers are attentive
— $ 1 off if you have own nail products (file/​foot scrub/​buffer)
— $ 14 for a regular pedicure
— Jennifer will do her best to talk to you with her limited English but will converse with co workers in Vietnamese
CON
— they charge $ 1 if you use their credit machine
— no spa pedicure but they do an excellent job with regular pedicures
— do speak Vietnamese but not as much as other nail salons
When I got home, I told my mom about my new pedicure person & she laughed. Not only was she mine but my mom’s, my aunt’s & grandma’s. Talk about running in the family!
Definitely will be back — can’t beat $ 14 pedicures ($ 13 if you have own nail products)

I haven’t gotten a mani-​pedi for a month and a half. So i went to see Jennifer. She always does a great job. I can always take a nap and wake up with beautiful hands and feet. I love that they carry OPI nail polish too. I always leave the nail shop with happy hands and feet.
