Camelot Hair & Nails

It’s been months since I had a pedicure and you know how sad your toes can get. Tracy took care of each and every one of my ten toes with her gentle, yet effective, caress. I had picked out the gel polish and she reminded me that’s it’s a gel with an extra charge. I’ve had gel before and know about the premium price but it’s totally worth it… Appreciated the reminder though. Best results ever! The gel was super shiny, smooth and covered the entire nail. No mess. No excuses on why it looks undone. Just perfection! Thanks Tracy!!!

Love this place! I’ve been going here for two years and they consistently do a terrific job. I wasn’t sure at the beginning– their storefront is a little out of date– but I’ve recommended them to all my friends and they all agree. I used to get my hair done downtown and literally this place is a third of the price and they do a better job. I even got a ‘Brazilian blowout’ once and it was amazing! My dry, frizzy processed hair has been straight for 4 months now. I would definitely recommend them.

It was my first time to go to this nail salon and I came because of the reviews on Unilocal,I was a walk in customer and they weren’t so busy but when I told the lady what l would like to do she was completely rude and said I need an appointment and there short on employees when she wasn’t doing anything, she ignored me and started talking to the other customer that walked in after me and didn’t even say sorry. I felt embarrassed…

Tracy was amazing!!! So affordable and so sweet. The salon was pretty quiet when I popped in on a Saturday for a blowout. She curled my hair and tamed my frizz ones perfectly!

I saw this place had good reviews and just needed a wash a dry so I went in today seeing if I could get my hair washed and styled. just a regular blow dry. I talked to a lady named B and told her my request. She said, «sorry, my customer is on her way.» That’s fine, I see three other workers in there doing nothing but they all might have regular customers who had appointments soon… totally fine with me since I was the walk in. I get. So I asked if there was a better time today I could come back and she just said, «I don’t know my customer is coming now» and gave me a blank stare and then continued to sweep the hair off the floor. Yah lady, I get it. were all four of you going to work on her at one time all day today?! She wasn’t even polite enough to say, «sorry we don’t have anything available today.» Politeness and customer service go a long way even if you don’t end up getting any services done.

My first time haircut after i moved in to San Diego. And i found my salon at first attempt. The prices are very reasonable and the service is goo. I would definitely recommend it and i plan to just stick to this place. Tracy gave me a real nice haircut

This place is a jewel! My picky college-​aged kids won’t go anywhere else (and believe me, they have been to other locations near their colleges and are not happy that they can’t find a decent salon near their schools that can do good cuts at reasonable prices). Their friends won’t go anywhere else.
Tracy, Be, Ken and Tina are professionals who love what they do and are good at it. If you don’t know what you want, bring in a picture and explain how your hair frizzes or dries/​shortens and how much care you do for your hair (shampoo-​and-​go, or, intense product and time). The point is you need to be exact in your description.
Ask the regular customers who have standing appointments on the weekends because the shop gets so busy. My neighbors and friends go here, as do people who I’ve recommended from work who don’t live in the neighborhood. My latest convert is from El Cajon.
As for people who throw stones, when you bring in a picture that has 4 different hair colors and you ask for the same exact thing-​that is what you are going to get. I came in on the same day at the same time, and it is different from what she’s claiming. They asked several times if the client was sure that’s what she wanted and she said yes. Don’t you think that someone having their hair color changed would notice the color in the bottle and say something?
The staff here doesn’t read minds and are not CAPABLE of yelling at their customers, it’s not in their genes or in the fabric of their being.
Good people and good prices.

Lets make this review short and straight to the point. Today was my first time at this salon and I thought it would be great since it had pretty good reviews on Unilocal.Too bad I left the salon crying with four different colors in my hair. Currently my hair is red, black, brown, and blonde. I came in asking for a balayage with pictures and they said they could do it but I guess not. I never even asked for red hair, I dont understand how they managed to turn my hair red. They all started yelling at me and blaming everything on me. How is it my fault? I paid $ 75 dollars for ugly hair and to get yelled at by all the workers. Great! I’ve been to bad salons but I have never walked out crying before.

I love this place so much. It is hard to find a stylist that takes great care of you and your hair for a decent price. Everyone here does a great job. Be did my wedding hair and makeup and it turned out perfect… and again super affordable! She also does beautiful acrylic nails. Today I went in and got a hair cut, eyebrows, full set of acrylics w/​gel, and a spa pedicure for $ 80… I cant remember her name but the lady who did my pedicure was so sweet and she made sure I was relaxed and comfortable. My feet look great too. I am moving to Japan and will miss being able to come here very much.

This review is for the man working there. I went in to get my brown reddish hair toned down to a cool brown instead he colored it black black darker than anything. I paid 70 dollars and left and spent 30 more on color oops to try to fix his mistake. I’m really dissapointed. I will never go back and urge people to choose wisely. I get so depressed thinking I just threw that money away on something I hated.

This place is awesome! Tried sooooo many places for a much more higher price and my hair doesn’t even look that great.
My two sisters and I came here for the first time and we are very satisfied with our hair.
Haircut for girls-​$ 20
One of my two sister is a really really picky person. She has never been satisfied with any salon she went too. She is actually satisfied with her hair for the first time! No joke. That has got to mean something right?
This is now the place I will always come back too: D

This review is strictly for the mani. I came in for a simple manicure. The person working on me was polite but not as skilled as other places I’ve been to. I sat at the counter while she worked on my nails, which is a bit of a different setting compared to other nail salons where you either sit at specially designed stations or in the cushy massage chairs.
The pricing is decent for the mani/​pedis here, but I wish the quality would have been better. It was barely a day before the polish started to chip. I could’ve done the polish myself for that quality. Bottom line, wouldn’t recommend this place for nail work, but from what I hear the hair stylists are amazing and they are one of the few places that use oil based hair coloring products. So maybe this place is really primarily a hair spot.

First of all, I have been here for a cut and B did an amazing job. So I’m extremely disappointed after my most recent experience. .
I got eyelash extensions and they were awful! I’ve had eyelash extensions many Times in the past and thought I’d give this place a shot.
The eyelashes were glued to my eyelids, not my eyelashes! They are called EYELASH extensions for a reason. I couldn’t even wash my eyeliner off because B used so much glue. The «individual» extensions were bonded to each other because of all the glue that it was like one full strip lash. I took a shower that night after getting them and the ones in the corners of my eyes immediately fell off.
I went back the next day to have them removed. I figured if it’s this bad already then I don’t want to continue to come here for touch ups! She kept telling me that they were beautiful and to just leave it. I repeatedly told her that I did not like them, I’m unsatisfied and just want them off. B said she didn’t see anything wrong and offered a discount on My next touch up.
We continued to go back and forth and I ended up leaving feeling completely frustrated and embarrassed of how my eyelashes looked. My husband saw how frustrated I was and went back to demand a refund. They finally caved and only paid me half of what I paid.
I just want to warn people to beware! They are terrible business people and lack people skills. They are not accommodating in any way!

Great place to get a hair cut! I got it by B & she did very good job. It took her only 20 minutes. I used to go 5 star salon with $$$ haircut, usually takes more then 1 hour with extra fancy staff but I was not happy with haircut itself.
B does so much better with so less $!
And FAST! LOVE it.

The first time I came here, it was almost closing time, but Ken still took me with a smile. He was friendly and knowledgeable of the trade. I told him I wanted layers with long bangs and was not disappointed, having been practically to every San Diego neighborhood to find a stylist. He didn’t charge me an arm and a leg either!
The second time I came here, I walked in again because I happened to be in the area getting my car detailed, and Ken immediately took me for a manicure. He did a beautiful job and didn’t try to up-​sell me once! I believe her name was Bee or Vee (?), but she did my pedicure, which was soothing and relaxing in a spa massage chair. She was extremely sweet and friendly. $ 30 for both, which I think is a great price.
What I love about this little salon is that they always make you feel welcome. They make the effort to get to know you and it seems they have quite a following of clientele. Will be back again soon :)

It is hard to find a good hair cut place and I finally found one! I’ve been here a few times and each time I leave a happy camper. The haircut is $ 14 plus a few extra bucks to style. The guy who cut and styled my hair is amazing! I wish I knew his name! He spends extra time making sure that your hair is perfect and cut evenly, and leaves your hair looking great and exactly how I wanted it.
I have to give them extra stars for giving me a haircut when I came in 15 before closing (I thought they were open later OK!?). Great place with great prices!

This place is absolutely amazing! I have been here a couple times to get my nails done and it was always comfortably, relaxing and very affordable!
I came in last week after making an appointment to only get my toes and nails done. When I walked in I asked if I could also get my eye brows waxed and my hair done, not expecting them to have time to do it all. They were very accommodating. After 2 hours I walked out with toes done, nails done, eye brows waxed and hair cut, colored and curled. All with an AMAZING price.
I will continue to come here and ask for Bee and Tracy! So happy I found this place! Another great find on Unilocal
