Uptown Nails

"I asked for dip on my nails and regular polish for my toes. I said, "usually I get gel but it makes my nails weak, so I wanted to try sns, do you think it's better for the nails?" And she said "yes dip is better." I picked a color (white) and asked for the matching color for my toes. When the dip started going on, it looked sheer so I asked to clarify I wanted white, like opaque and not clear (I don't think she understood what I meant by opaque) but it was good enough, so I said it was fine. When the color went on my toes, it was very bright opaque white and didn't match my nails at all. So I asked, is that the matching color? It doesn't look the same. So then she did 2 layers of white gel on top of the dip to make it match my toes (and it still wasn't a great match, she just picked a random gel white color to try to match my toes). And putting gel on sort of defeated the purpose of me getting dip, and made it way too thick looking. To make it worse, the woman who was doing my manicure acted very annoyed, by what I thought were very reasonable comments/questions. And then she charged me $20 more than what she said it would be over the phone (to give the benefit of the doubt, I assumed I just misheard her). But the whole experience was just bad, and not relaxing at all, which is the opposite of what I wanted on vacation :( The woman doing my pedicure was really sweet, though!"

"They did a great job! Especially considering I had a difficult/painful break from an acrylic set from another salon. Very gentle and did a lovely job with the shaping and design."

"All the ladies here are absolutely amazing. They are so kind and generous. I love how sweet they are. They are so good to me and my kiddo. This has become our new and only nail salon that we will frequent in San Diego. Our nails always look so beautiful after and they take good care of us if our nail paint chips. Everyone here is so kind and welcoming."

"This was my first time here and I’m disappointed to say the least. I have been doing dip powder consistently for the last two years and have all good experiences. My nails grew out to such a nice length that I didn’t need to get tips. I came here on a Saturday and within 6 hours, my one nail already chipped. Now it’s Monday and another nail just broke. Before this, I had my dip powder on for a month and never had any chips or broken nails. I don’t live in San Diego full time so I won’t be back for another month to even come in and fix this. This was such a waste of money."

"Probably the best dip manicure I’ve ever had!! Chloe is amazing & meticulous. They were able to fit me in same day I called, the salon is very clean and the check in/check out process is really easy. I can’t wait to come back, thank you Chloe!"
