Helen’s Nails & Spa

This place was okay, I guess you pay for what you get… It’s cheap. I recommend coming early in the morning like any nail salon. I did the ballerina shape and the lady was very inconsistent with the nail shape. Some nails were very crooked and lumpy. I loved the plum color I chose, however I had to ask her to add a second coat of top coat because the first one was horrid. The color faded the second day I had the nails. I probably won’t be going back here.

I have try lots of places around my area where I leave! But NON OF THEM are like this place so gentle on your hand !! And prices are good too!

My mother and I have been coming here for years now. They are all talented and very sweet. Mimi does my nails and they are just amazing. She takes her time while doing them and makes sure there are no uneven nails or no acrylic left underneath my nails, which a few other places I have been never take the time to do. My mom is seen by Helen and she always enjoys her nails as well. We always enjoy our time there and the people as well. thanks ladies!

Today was my 2 week annual update time for my manly dawg paws. I’m on the road in California right now so I choose a new nail spa, and boy am I glad I did The 1^st thing that struck my attention was how magnificently huge the spa chairs were. Seeing that i am 6’2. I decided to go with the deluxe pedicure for $ 30 and it was pure freaking heaven. The nice lady rubbed and scrubbed all over my legs and toes. Well worth my money and time. Definitely my go to place while I’m on the road I. Poway, California

I am in town visiting family and decided to get a mani/​pedicure because my polish was chipping. After reading the reviews on Unilocal I decided to go here because it was close. It is a nice little no frills place. It appeared to be clean and they had a nice selection of polish. Helen’s was very cheap compared to salons back home but I am not sure if the price is typical for this area. One of the best mani/​pedis I have ever gotten.

I really really appreciate a nice clean nail salon and meticulous caring nail artist! You will live the pedi chairs and the ladies are such a pleasure! I feel like I am cheating on my regular salon but I have driven outbid my way more then once now to go see the ladies at Helen’s so if that makes me a cheater so be it! Prices are very affordable and they are open till 7 on weekdays which really helps a working mamma!

So I got referred here by a friend. I’m very picky with my eyebrows. I don’t like them super thin so I’m cautious on where I go. So I went here and I was immediately greeted by one of the woman. She told me it’d be about 10 minutes before they could get to me, which I expected since I hadn’t made an appointment. So about 10 minutes later one of the ladies took me to their waxing room. I wish I had remembered her name. She was very, very friendly. She made me feel very comfortable and we talked through the whole wax. She did a great job on making sure how I wanted my eyebrows done and she executed it very nicely as well. It was $ 8, which is an amazinggg price for a good eyebrow wax, so I was very pleased with that. I highly recommend this place for eye brow waxing and fully expect myself on coming back to see how their mani’s/Pedi’s are.

A relaxing atmosphere with lovely attendants here to pamper you and with welcoming smiles! The have a great menu!
Come have a relaxing visit for yourself!

I’ve been to a million nail spots in Poway.
I can tell you each one not to go to and my experiences.
I was told by my client that this place was amazing.
How I must go!
I was shocked honestly because I never even noticed this place and I’ve been to that shopping center 100 000 times.
The inside has no thrills it’s not up to date with décor BUT REALLY IS THAT WHY I CAME HERE?! No!
The owner and all the ladies are beyond friendly.
Classical music plays in the back ground and really relaxes me quite a bit. In fact last time I was nodding off while having my nails done. Lol
Helen is so wonderful. She knows how to do pointy nails /​stiletto nails like a champ.
She doesn’t do designs another lady does so they usually switch when you want a design which isn’t a big deal the lady comes and sits in her seat and you stay in the same chair.
Helen is very good, gentle and her attention to detail and creating the perfect shape is amazing!
My husband loves her and likes to come with me to pick out my nail color (yes my husband is amazing)
If you want quality nails this place delivers quality service at a very affordable rate. Oh and Helen waxed my eyebrows so perfectly.
All around great experience each and every time we come here.
They also use quality products and the Massage chairs are brand new and so nice!

Love this quiet little nail spa. Always do a great job and have availability. Older building but keeps prices low. Staff is great, polite and efficient.

Great mani pedi and shellac, not where I would go if I was in a rush. Nice gel and shellack selection, maybe a little dated and dingy inside but worth the cost reduction for me.

I came here because all of the reviews were good. It’s a decent nail spot, nothing fancy but they were nice and did a good job.

I absolutely love Helen’s Nails! I went there on a Saturday when I thought it would be super busy, and they were able to fit me in right away. Helen was my nail tech. She was super friendly and very sweet upon arrival to their shop. The shop was very clean and inviting and I felt very comfortable there. Helen did a wonderful job on my nails and I absolutely love the way that she shaped them and fixed them so that they all looked pretty. (when I came in, I had a broken nail and they were all too long and too flared.)
My only complaint was that there was no sign lit up stating that that was Helen’s Nails. It’s tucked away in the corner next to Joann’s fabrics. I did find it and I am super glad that I did.
I will be back for sure!

First off it was very hot outside and they didn’t have their air-​conditioning running when I came in. It was uncomfortably unpleasant during the pedicure and the shop smelled badly. I thought they didn’t have air-​conditioning but then noticed they decided to start running it once more customers came in. The pedicure was good the brow wax was not great. Other than that the staff was very nice and friendly I just didn’t feel relaxed and wasn’t enjoying my spa day like I should have.

Tina is amazing! Just met her today! She did a beautiful acrylic fill for me. She’s very gentle and sweet She’s been doing nails for 10 years. She kept them thin and painted them with precision. They look so natural. I would highly recommend Tina, I’ll be booking my next appointment with her.

Came here based in recommendations & Unilocal reviews. The salon is a little dated, but it was obvious most customers are regulars. I walked in with no appt & was seen right away. My nail tech (Mimi?) was friendly & fast. She did a good job, not great, but pretty good. My only complaint is that 3 days later the corner of one of my nails broke. I haven’t had that happen in years.

I have been coming to Helen’s nails now for a couple of years. The reason why I come to the salon has definitely is definitely due to the lovely ladies and the great service they provide. They are meticulous at their task and always make me feel comfortable. I highly recommend this little salon.

One of my clients recommended Helen’s. She said she had been going for years and loved it. I had a really nice mani/​pedi today. The salon is clean and the staff was very friendly. I will go back.

This has been my regular nail salon for the past 3 – 4 years. I love this place! The workers are nice and do great work. I always just pop in after work, and they always get me in for a pedi, without too much of a wait.
The prices are reasonable, and I always love the designs I get here. I also love splurging on the callous remover — it makes my feet so soft! There are lots of great colors to choose from.
The pedi chairs are pretty new and the back massage is awesome — a little bit of heaven on a hectic work day.

Love this place for the price and the service. I like to call to make an appointment, but you can try to just show up. They will tell you if they are too busy which is nice super honest!
I like that they always remember my name because they my name and phone number saved to their phone! I generally get tips or a full set of acrylics and a pedicure. They do great work, I should know I have been to dozens of salons throughout my Many years of living! Enjoy! Oh, they like cash only for tips, but at this price I bring cash for the entire job and I tip $ 5.00 for nails and $ 5.00 for toes.
