Picasso Nails & Spa

Amazing service, amazing quality, super clean ! I love them ! Been going here since they first opened and I always have a good time while getting a pedicure.

Was a walk in for a pedicure today, was immediately greeted and sat for my pedi. The technician started removing my nail polish when someone walked in and signed in. Apparently this lady had an appointment they had forgotten about so they had started on me. The technician asked me if I could wait 30 minutes while she did her appointment or she could just paint my nails and I could leave. I was blown away by the way I was treated and left with my nail polish off and nothing completed. Awful!

The absolute best place for a mani or a pedi! Mine last forever! Only reason to go back in is because my nails are too long. Girls are super nice and do a great job!

I love Picasso Nails. They always do a great job and are always so sweet and kind. They always check to make sure I am comfortable and offer me a bottle of water. I always get gel manicures and they last a good 3 weeks plus sometimes. This is a great salon and I promise you will have a great experience every time you come in.

My first time using this nail salon. AMAZING! Was greeted by Ruby who was very friendly and accommodating. Offered me ice cold water, had a conversation as if she were an old friend. Made me feel really comfortable. Got the green tea scrub pedicure and manicure. She used a green tea scrub on my feet and legs, followed by a hot wet towel. She then put a hot mask on my feet and legs, followed by another hot wet towel. Then she continued on with massaging my feet and legs with lotion. She scrubbed and rubbed my feet and legs for 1 hour and 20 minutes. All while sitting in the fancy massage chairs. Almost fell asleep. My legs are super soft. She massaged my hands and arms as well. Total mani pedi spa time = 2 hours and 20 minutes. Great place to go if your not in a hurry and want quality time done your feet and legs. Place was really clean, had a nice ambiance. I will definitely be back! Thank you!

I love it, love it, love it! Super attentive staff. Make you feel comfortable and do exactly what you want. Absolutely love it!

Out of all of the nail salons I have tried in La Mesa, this is the best by far! I have been here about 5 times now and my experience is consistent every time. I am always greeted with a cold bottle of water and quickly seated. The menu of options includes a couple of pedicures with hot stone massage. Amazing. This alone is worth the visit. The technicians do a great job.

My friend found this place on Unilocal,it’s like a block from our house. Diane did our nails, we both got gel French tips. My friend went first and they look amazing. I was second and because the place was packed I could feel her rushing a bit, she was still great though so I didn’t say anything. After we left I noticed some of bottoms of my nails were a bit bumpy but I was ok with it. Not an hour later one of my nails chipped when I scratched my fiancé’s head. I went back to see if she would fix it and she did. Diane was super sweet and apologetic that it had chipped and she fixed the previous bumps that were there. I already made an appointment to go back!

Have been here 2 times. And no more for me. The first time was right after they opened. And it was a great little clean salon. They gave us what I know know as a opening price special for mani-​pedis.
The other night we went again. Tuesday afternoon at 4. It was empty besides one other person finishing up. The pedi was ok. The lady working on me stopped paying attention to detail once a regular of hers came in. I mean no top coat polish. No stone massage. I was rather dissapointed.
We were given a «new» high priced menu. And we’re not offered the standard options. Very deceiving.
I do not recommend this place.

I am pretty disappointed at my recent visit here not for my personal service that I received but for my BFF and I left feeling deceived as well.
Like the time before we did not have appointments, there were a couple people sitting in chairs close to being done so we didn’t mind waiting a few minutes. As they started with our pedicures they handed us a menu with some pedicure, manicure and facial choices, the prices were significantly higher than the time before and the treatment we had prior was not there but thought maybe this was something new and didn’t think to ask if there were any other available because if they are handing me a menu I expect there should be all they offer not just the high priced ones, so I went ahead with the lowest priced at $ 31.
While we sat there several people walked in, one person seemed to be a regular and quickly grabbed the attention of my friends nail tech, which she became a little distracted while talking with this customer. Towards the end of our pedicures we were asked if we wanted to add on a manicure, or anything else. I asked the pricing on the manicure which was only $ 11 so I went ahead with it, my BFF on the other hand wanted to get a full set of nails which she mentioned to her distracted nail tech but by the end of her pedicure she was completely blown off, the woman did not once ask if she was still interested in getting the full set done she handed her, her shoes and went to talk with the other customer. I, in the meantime went to the front counter and grabbed a paper menu and saw that they do have other options not just the ones on the menu we were handed as a matter of fact they had a spa mani/​pedi special for $ 29, $ 13 difference than what I ended up paying, quite sneaky on their part!
Overall I was happy with my service and the tech who I had but very unhappy with feeling like I was misled with the menu, ok I can admit maybe I should have asked but again like I said previously if you are handed a menu at a nail salon or even a restaurant there should be all services and options not just the high priced ones, if you are trying to gain business and profit this is not the way to do it… Word of mouth is everything for small businesses and because of my experience I will make sure to pass the message of mine and my BFF’s to my other friends, this really rubbed me the wrong way seriously!

The salon is Beautiful and clean. Diane and her amazing staff go out of there way to make you feel relaxed and give you what you want! Everything is top of the line products & services. So glad they moved into the neighborhood
I love their pedicures!

Diane did a great job! I like my nails a certain way, and she executed my request PERFECTLY. The gel was even, no bubbles or lumps or anything. She had to completely re-​shape my nails, which had been done thick and wobbly by another salon, but she was still super fast. On top of that she was super gentle. Sometimes when the technician is moving quickly I come away with torn cuticles and sore nailbeds, but my nails were not sore at all, and there was no broken skin.
The salon was really clean and had a nice, new vibe. Everyone was really nice. My one quibble was that it was kind of expensive for a fill, but maybe that was because she had to kind of re-​shape the whole thing, plus I did gel. I’ll be coming back for sure, I just might do regular polish next time.

Very clean, very nice offered bottled water when I arrived. Got a fabulous massage from Rose. Highly recommended!

1 star for being nice, 1 star for effort. My shellac mani was too thick, uneven, and all over my fingers. I went across the street to get them redone the next day!

Being that my nail lady sold her nail salon, I was on the quest to find somewhere to get a pedicure. I came to Picasso because it’s so close to my house. I called to make an appointment for my mother and I. Once we came to the salon we were greeted with warm smiles. We were seated right away and given a bottle of water. I received my pedicure from Diane who did an excellent job and gave me one of the best foot massages I’ve had in a while. My mom got her pedicure from an older woman who (according to my mom) did an «ok» job — she was too rough for her liking but liked the end result. One thing I really like is that they offer to give you the buffing and filing tools they use on you to take home.
We also met, Vanessa, who was very personable and makes sure you are receiving great service. Looking forward to my next visit!

First time in last week, I am so very impressed with the cleanliness of this salon as well as the service. All the ladies were very friendly and welcoming. The chairs are worth the visit alone. .OMG love those chairs. Holly went above and beyond in making my nails and feet beautiful. .I WILL be going back… great place

Received a gift card for Christmas for Picasso. It is a brand new salon and it is perfectly clean and has a nice ambiance. My sister and I walked in and were seated right away. Even though we got there kind of late, only 30 minutes before closing, they took their time and didn’t rush at all. Both of us had excellent gel manicures and pedicures. Lots of color selection. The nail technicians were friendly, took their time, and gave great massages, especially considering the excellent prices!
I’ve been to many nail salons in the Mt. Helix/​Rancho area and this was my favorite.
