Solar Nails & Spa, San Diego CA

This is the best place ever if you need your nails done. All the ladies are amazing. Kathy is my girl, and the owner. She and all the staff work so hard and do such a good job with mani pedi. This is my hidden gem!

This place is my go to spot to get nails! Everyone there is so friendly and lovely My nail technician, Peter is always on point with what I ask for, you can always ask for a change in nail design if you want. The wait isn’t that long either!

From my experiences being here, I have throughly enjoyed it. My main nail technician Kathy has been wonderful and understanding. If anything happens, please let them know.

Had a gel manicure done on Thursday within 5 days it started chipping off. I am very easy on my nails, my job is a desk job. I went back asking if they could fix and they said no they only guarantee gel nails 3 days. I’ve had pedicure here and it great.never get gel nails here there gel is bad and they obviously know that by only guarantee 3 days

I've had a good experience up until today when the manager refused to reimburse me or work with me for my messed up eyebrows.

My eyelids were bleeding due to a mistake the waxer made so I kindly requested a refund which was denied. She also took way too much off the middle so I have to color them in now.

Instead the manager offered 10% off my next wax (70 cents off LOL) I informed the manager that I would no longer be getting my eyebrows waxed there but I'd be happy to receive a discount for a different service because I like they way they do nails and lashes. She said no because it was my fault my eyelids were too sensitive.

I'm not going back. Not because they made a mistake, but they refused to work with me when I asked them about it. Mistakes happen and I'm okay with that. But this is not a good way of keeping business. You just lost a customer over a $7 refund.

TERRIBLE! Lady made me bleed to the point when i walked out I had to put a bandage on my toe.when i asked for a refund she said i can give you $10 max for a $55 service.do not go here.if i could give you guys 0 stars i would. I will be coming back in Monday for my FULL refund! I can’t get my toe wet because it’s still burning even after cleaning it.it was my skin they cut not my toe or cuticle!

NO ONE WILL LET ME TALK TO THE OWNER OR MANAGER! They say they are busy or not here then tell me they are busy.i’m over it! Do not go here at all.all i want is my $55 back and you guys have lost not just 1 but 3 customers that go here.

I just moved to San Diego not to long ago and I absolutely love this place! I come here to get my nails and eyebrows done. It's so clean and all the staff are so nice! Hannah is my girl! She's so sweet and does beautiful designs!

Please “USE each layer” of service INCLUDED IN MY PACKAGE I PAY FOR “more thoroughly! ”
I LOVED AMYS MESSAGE! Really great! I’m missing MIA!
Communication is a bit off but I use the translator when I’m there… Thank You for GREAT ATTENTIVE THOROUGH LOVING CARE Lauren

Indulged in one of the finer things in life. Greeted with a smile and my pedi went well. My person did well and I would come back. I enjoyed not only my pedi but the location of the salon and lighting inside. Large parking lot available and grab a Starbucks next door before you come in. (Sorry I can’t speak for their acrylic/nail work)

Im never disappointed by the services given at your nail salon. I will always recommend this location to friends and family. Thank you!

Made to wait more than 30 minutes for pedicure with feet in cold water. Two other people taken out of order ahead of me. Walked out.

The best customer service! They’re all so friendly and accommodating. I asked to come in for a gel manicure 30 minutes to close, and they said it would be no problem. They didn’t rush at all and were so nice. I will continue to come here!

It was hard to enjoy and relax in the spa due to loud customers I wish you guys had a "keep conversations low to allow our other customers to enjoy their spa day" aside from that the nails techs where wonderful"

They always get me and whoever I have (daughter's, husband) with me in right away and do exactly what I want. We've been coming here almost a year and don't plan on changing!

I love how my nails turned out, and everyone is always very nice at Solar Nails that’s why I have been going there for over 5 years, but slowly over time I have began to have cause for a bit of a concern. I have noticed that the prices they tell you or quote you on the phone are not the prices they charge you after you have had the services completed. They did this to a friend of mine that came with me to get a mani & pedi. She paid the same for her mani and pedi that I did for my fill and pedi. And I got 3 different color nails on my hands and feet.
I also realized after I left that I was not given my military discount that I was told previous times would be 10%.
Any time I would let them know I am military and ask for my military discount I am told it is already deducted from the total price that they are telling me I owe. Which once I look at their prices, isn’t true because they are charging me for every little thing I get. (fill, nail polish removal, design, nails filed or cut down, and this is for my hands and my feet) you would think that cutting the nails, filing the nails, and removing the polish would be added into the price of the fill and the pedicure.
So today I got my nails done, and after I left some of my polish chipped off so I’ll be returning tomorrow, but also….
I asked for my military discount… and the young lady checking me out was speaking to me in English, but then began to speak to the other ladies in her native language… and then when she was finished she looked back at me and said that the other lady said I could have $2.00 off. $2.00 off was not even close to 10% off of the total price of what I was told I owed. So this really upset me, because I always tip them really well and I still tipped them $20 today.
It’s not good business to be dishonest with your customers, especially the ones who are loyal, give you good reviews, tip well, and keep coming back. We will notice, we are not stupid, we all work hard for our money and we do not deserve to be gipped out of it, and lied to.
I am very disappointed.
The managers were not at the nail salon today. But they were there the previous time when I was overcharged with my friend.
