Italy Nails & Spa - San Diego, California

Lorelei

Bruce Lee did my gel manicure with design and was meticulous about getting good shape and the design I asked for. He provided me gloves to protect my skin from the gel lights which I thought was a great touch!
Tammy gave me a great, and relaxing pedicure with massage. I just moved into the area and will be back. (I’ve been moving, so the condition of my skin is my fault!)
Italy Nails offers a variety of drinks to relax with while you get pampered!

Bruce Le did a great job as always! I’ve been going to Bruce for a very long time and for a good reason. He’s very patient and does a great job. Also, my toes are immaculate. I forget my technicians name but she took the time to make sure my pedicure was perfect. Thank you!

This place is absolutely amazing! Bruce Lee has been doing my nails for the last couple months but he really outdid himself this time. If you are looking for someone who can do designs this is your place, Bruce is a true artist!

Tammy was very friendly & did a beautiful job on my mani! Especially enjoyed the hand/arm massage. Update: My only complaint is that when doing my cuticles she pushed down so hard I started bleeding. Woke up the next day & my fingernail is bruised.

I just went to this salon for the first time and got my nails done by Katie. I did hard gel with a simple nail design. Katie was amazing, really listened to what I was looking for and was so sweet. She was also incredibly quick without it feeling rushed. I was in and out in 1 hour.

Bruce did an excellent job on my nails! The staff were very welcoming, and the environment was relaxing. I am very happy with their services!

I really wanted to like this place because I live in the neighborhood. I asked for a simple natural nail look and ended up with cuts along my cuticle line from the nail file and buffer he used. I told the man who did my nails several times that he was hurting me and although he apologized, no adjustments were made.

At the end the owner asked me how my service was and I told him the man who did my nails hurt me. I showed him and he responded with "he did your cuticles for free of charge". I never asked for anything to be done to my cuticles, nor was there a discussion had at any point about my cuticles other than when I pointed out that he was hurting me. This was extremely invalidating as I have had my cuticles cared for many times before and there is no bleeding or pain involved and clean tools were used, but not here. I went to pay and the owner asked to make sure I was sending the correct amount through- I left in tears and in pain.

I have serious concerns about the training of the employees and the cleanliness of the facility (none of the tools had been sanitized prior or unwrapped in front of me like other salons) and the fact that I had to pay full price despite leaving with my fingers in pain. I have paid the same price for competent, skilled, and most importantly sanitary services before and was totally shocked. I am still in pain.

I’m extremely disappointed with my experience at Italy Nails and Spa. I went in for a simple nail design and ended up spending 1.5 hours in the chair, only to leave with something completely awful. I uploaded a photo of the design I requested and what I actually ended up with. Despite the time spent, the technician clearly didn’t have the skills or understanding to achieve what I wanted. The final result was sloppy, uneven, and nothing like what I had asked for. It was a huge waste of time and money. I wouldn’t recommend this place if you’re looking for quality work or have a particular design in mind.
If I could give zero stars I would.
