Summer Nails And Spa

Terrible you walk in and they say «we busy now». Don’t even want to help customers. I wouldn’t even give them 1 star

Where do I start… one, i can be understanding of the area as to why this nail salon may not be «up to date». But they are outdated by ten years… the machines, the polishes, the techniques, whats in, terrible. not only are they «backwards» but my french pedicure looks like my ten year old did it. im seriously ladies… i can be understanding but this was horrific. the nails are not cut straight, both polishes, color and french layed thick… i have bubbling and ripples… i have corners not filled and let me also add my french isnt straight either. i had to come back to the salon to have them please donit again because it was layed on so thick, so terrible, and the color was coming through and still… then my gel manicure… when i say theyre ten years behind, they are. do you girls remember when gel manis came out? you had to layer it on with a bunch of different lacquers and gels and the uv was like 3 minutes long each time you out your hand in? yes… thats what youre getting. If you remember back in the day, the gel color would thin out by all the edges of your nails, not like today where you have a solid color throughout the whole nail. she even missed more of my nails on my mani. i even made a joke about needing my glasses to see or i cant live without them but she laughed and said she can see ²⁰⁄₂₀ so its obviously not her sight why she did a terrible job. and shes been a manicurist for years… i want my money back im very upset. the job i received is expected from a student learning how to be a manicurist. im very upset. i came in for a simple french pedi and gel mani, and im disgusted. do not come here AT ALL!!!

Best costumer service I have had yet! Cindy did my mani and pedi and I enjoyed every minute!!!

So I wrote a review about this place last week, here’s my follow up; i came back in today to speak to a manager about getting my set removed. They refused to let me speak to the manager, wouldn’t give me his/​her number. Came up looked at my nails, and said I had been scratching my cuticles? My complaint was that the gels never cured (dried) completely and I’d like them removed. The nail tech, was extremely rude, kept interrupting me and refused to help. I am so appalled at how TERRIBLE THE SERVICE is here. They do not give a single care about the clients.
I left out that KELLY (who did my nails) stopped in the middle to handle some personal errands like write down her finances right there on the mani table during. My nails are crooked as all heck and there was a layer of gel I had to pry off my skin. F-​this place!

A different business brought me to the shopping center but I was in dire need of a pedicure so I decided to check this place out.
The woman who took care of me was Kim. I have pretty high expectations when it comes to pedicures. Nowadays, I guess they are considered high. I don’t want it to feel rushed. It should be a relaxing experience. A massage is something that always needs to be involved… I recall I went to this one salon and the [insert massage part here] was a towel drying off the moisture from the soak.
The pedicure was great! Massage had nice pressure. I got a French and today is 2 weeks and 1 day and they still look fresh.
I also opted to get a gel manicure.
Let me start by saying I’ve been bare fingered for some time now. The better part of the past 9 years I’ve had all types of fun things going on with my nails. 3 years or so ago I ditched the P&W and went au natural with gel. But the last year gel wasn’t working as well for me anymore. It could’ve been a shammy product or improper application but I was maybe get 3… Yes, 3 good days out of a GEL manicure and by 5 they be all chipped or I’d be frustrated and peel them off.
My natural nails are long and I’ve been dying to make them look pretty. Well, like my pedicure, I’ve gone over 2 weeks and this gel held tight!!! I’m honestly so impressed! If I wanted to, I still had life left but my nails are getting too long. I’m planning on going back this afternoon! I’m looking forward to finally having a go to spot!

On vacation in San Diego I thought I’d treat myself to a manicure. I came in to this nail salon on Nov 15 and asked for a manicure. They sat me down in a pedi chair. I agreed to the pedi after she said she didn’t understand. They charged an additional $ 5 to scrub my calluses?! What? Isn’t that why you get a pedicure? She was in a hurry. My manicure was awful. I have dry cuticles still and nail polish is pealing after less than 24 hours. My toes are messed up too. They spoke to each other the entire time in another language which is completely rude. She acted like she was in a race. It was absolutely awful. 34 $ for lousy job and lousy service. At my home salon I can get a scrub and hot rock massage included in the pedi price. So disappointed with the service. Don’t go here. It was a major disappointment.

Typical nail salon with newer massage chairs. Simple and clean. Friendly staff. Kim did my nails at a salon across the street and I followed her to this salon when it opened. I see her about once a month. I’ll call her and ask for an appointment ASAP and she’ll get me in right away. She knows I always get a French pedicure and plain manicure, no polish– only shine stick. I don’t even have to say a word. Once in awhile I feel rushed, but only when they’re super busy. No biggie– she squeezes me in, so I can’t complain.

This place was terrible! Despite the good deal they display in their window it’s not worth it. I got a gel manicure which had bubbles on every nail and the nail tech tried to convince me it looked good and it was okay. It definitely wasn’t okay and I asked her to take it off which was another nightmare. I had to go to another nail salon up the street to fix her poor performance of a manicure.

I love Kim. She’s been doing my nails since she was working from that other horrid place. She’s great and does a good job and takes her time with you.

Will never come here again. Came here because it was close to home and it had a crowd which to me meant they were good and had loyal customers. I had a gel mani and pedi. It was the fastest pedicure I’ve ever had. The girl barely spent anytime doing what is typically done on a pedicure. My manicure was horrible. The gel began cracking and peeling in just a week. I might as well had regular polish. It was really just a waste of time and money as I already need get them redone.

Cindy took care of me and she was wonderful. She did a great job with my French pedi. I was extremely pleased. They have an $ 18 pedi special :)

No, no and no. Never going back. Not impressed. Terrible pedicure and the paint job was gloppy. Very disappointed.

Had a mani and pedi from Kelly and was not impressed. It seemed that her conversation with her coworkers, phone calls, and even the TV were more important than me, her paying client. It seemed like she was trying to make it appear as if she was completing all of the steps but was NOT. Hard to explain, but she literally tap the cuticle pusher on each finger (so she touched the tool to each finger but actually did nothing). Possibly the are cameras that she was faking it for? Whatever the case, the mani and pedi were below par and I won’t be coming back.

I had a great experience here today! I got a gel manicure and regular pedicure. Both were awesome & Kelly is very nice. She did a great job. I love the new massage chairs and nail table chairs! Also the prices are really reasonable! I would definitely recommend Summer Nails and will return.

Kelly is the best! And you can’t beat the price. I have been going to Kelly for years and even followed her here from another salon. Ask for Kelly any time you can!

I had a pleasant experience at this salon and they did a really great job. I’ve been looking for a nail salon since I moved to mission valley recently and they have a mani/​pedi special for $ 27 so I decided to try it out. I walked in around 4:00pm on a Saturday and there was only a few people in the salon so they were able to take me right away. They also let you put tip on the credit card, coming from someone who never has cash on them I appreciate this a lot. I am so glad I decided to try this place and I will definitely be back as I stated above they did a really good job. I only gave it 4 stars because they need to upgrade their chairs and repaint the walls, just minor upkeep. They also have a huge tv which is nice to watch when you are getting your pedicure and waiting for everything to dry.

KIM is fabulous. Consistently gives a great mani/​pedi. Have never been disappointed.

I had a gift certificate that a friend got me for my birthday. My friend & the certificate said Mani & pedi & tip included, that was really nice of my friend to include the tip when she bought me the gift. Summer Nails and spa would not honor it!!! She said that I only get one or the other that if I want both I have to pay full price for one, when I tried to ask questions she was busy texting on her phone.
I got the pedi, when she was done she just walked away. I was polite and asked if there was anything else I owed her she yelled «NOPE» from across the room at me.
Needless to say I will never go back here and I will never recommend it!!!

Easy on the wallet… but the woman that did my nails was so snooty. She hardly said two words and after it began to feel very awkward, I finally (half-​jokingly) mentioned how beautiful the weather was and she kind of shrugged. I know there was a language barrier but she did speak a bit of english and having received her manicurist’s license you’d think she would know how to respond to a basic conversation-​starter statement. Anyway, I had my first gel manicure which all in all looks decent-​there are a couple of nails that don’t have polish all the way up to the nail bed but by the time I noticed I was too annoyed with her attitude to go back.

Clean and friendly with great prices!
