Originails

Great place! Brought in my own 3 price gel polish and they accommodated me quickly and were very friendly. My new favorite place. Plus a manicure is $ 8?!? Yes please

Love this place! Michelle did my nails and she’s the best. Very accommodating and prices are reasonable. The shop is very clean and nice. Will definitely recommend and will né coming back!

I have gotten my nails done at this place with Sandy and I have not been disappointed once!

Exceptionally clean– very professional and courteous staff. Centrally located and plenty of spa pedicure chairs too!
Michelle is the owner and takes pride in her staff and salon!
She specializes in gel fills and sets too!
Emily and Christine do great pedicures and they have waxing services too! A bit pricey but cleanliness counts!

I have been getting my nails done here for years, even though I moved to Bankers Hill. I love how friendly everyone is and I’m always happy with my pedicure and full set!

Great place, great staff and great quality
Of service. You never wait more than 5 mins.
There’s always a full staff to serve you.
I love that it’s very clean and all tools are
Sanitized, very important! All the ladies there
Are great, but my absolute favorite is
Christine… She’s amazing! Love this place!

Ben left and he was the best !! He now working at 5114 El Cajon Blvd QUEEN NAILS
Please spread the word. He’s absolutely wonderful and so is the new salon and staff.

I have been a loyal customer for years… But I am sadly going to be looking for a new spot.
1– they have recently raised prices, for seemingly the same service
2– they charge $ 2 to pay with a credit card… For each service.
3– tonite my service was stopped and transferred to another employee due to a (rude) customer who demanded a new employee for no good reason. So literally in the middle of my manicure I had to pick up everything and move to a new station and have someone else finish half way through. My hands are now mismatched.
I certainly hope that other customer gives them repeat business because they have now lost mine to accommodate her. I know an owner has to make choices with difficult customers, but they should never be at the cost of another customer. Very disappointed.

Ben and Lynn are my fav! Great atmosphere, very friendly and actually have conversations with you! Awesome prices!

A bit expensive but absolutely worth every penny! They have tons of color options for gel manicures, and excellent pedicure packages which range from 28 – 50 $. I always get the most expensive just to pamper myself. It includes the following: chair massage, callus remover, marine mask, some type of scrub, paraffin wax, warm oil massage, and a hot stone massage All for your feet and legs! You definitely can’t find a nailshop that gives you all of that Good stuff in this neighborhood! Also you don’t need to purchase the most expensive package to get that stuff. Each package, even the least expensive package comes with a scrub and callus remover so you can have a great pedi experience!

Ben is my artist and he’s up to date on art the cool new styles, he does great nail art. I don’t go to anyone else !

I stopped by here on my way home from work several months ago. I was greeted very nicely by Michelle and she recommended Ben for my nails and I have been coming her ever since. I had my feet done, I don’t know her name, but I like what she does to my feet and legs. Where I went before they been trimming my toenails incorrectly and causing them to grow upwards. That is fixed now!
Great service and quality work!!! See you soon, I need a color change on my feet!

Ben is the best !! Had my nails on for about a lil more then a month and no lifting or none of them came off !!

Not coming back here. I used to frequent this place whenever I needed a service when I was at my boyfriend’s house. Got a pedicure and specifically asked the lady to cut my ingrown toenails in my big toes. When she looked at them she said I didn’t have any– red flag because I’ve lived with them for years, which is why I force myself to get a pedicure every 2 – 3 weeks to get rid of them. For paying $ 26 for my pedicure, I expected a lot more. Either the nail tech was too lazy to cut them, or she didn’t know how. Other than the service, the salon itself is fairly clean. They recently redid the salon and it’s beautiful, but the service is lacking.

Weird. when i Unilocaled «Nail Salon» on my way home from grocery shopping, this place said their hours are from 11:30am to 5pm… When i drove by it around 10am their sign said «Open» — so i had to bust a U-​turn. Yay!!! Luckily I was the first customer cz it got busy after 20mins.
I got french mani/​pedi/​wax for only $ 40. I’m glad the little lady didn’t try to suggestive sell for 5 dowlah moor LOL! I told them exactly what I wanted, needed and got it! They were gentle and did a great job on my toes and nails.
I haven’t pampered myself in years because I enjoy doing my own nails and pedi’s tickle my toes. Anyways she did a good job on my french.
The ladies that assisted me were both friendly she even gave me extra coffee candy they had on the counter.
I’m definitely coming back its so close to home. I might even try their Brazilian Wax here :)
Less the one star… Due to it getting busy she kind of rushed the manicure towards the end.

I love going to Originails to get my nails done. It’s super convenient and one of the cleanest salons I’ve ever been to. Today Michelle did my gel manicure. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she did a fantastic job even though I have the tiniest fingernails. Their regular salon manicure is a great deal and their pedicures are super relaxing too.

Decided to come to hopefully make my home pedicure spot.
Horrible service.
On the door it says «Spa Pedicure 16.99»
(On Tuesdays and Wednesdays– I came on a Wednesday.)
They denied the special saying «oh it’s wrong, that’s the special price for «regular pedicure» I explained that that is not what the sign said. She then went and got the owner and the owner said the same thing. I asked what the sign meant. And she started to get loud with me and said that I was wrong and the sign outside was incorrect. The spa pedicure is 25 today and the regular pedicure is 16.99 (the special) I told them they needed to change the sign then and I walked out. All of this as I am sitting in the spa chair with my feet in the water, waiting.
As soon as I came in, I felt discriminated against, which should of been a good enough reason for me to leave in the first place. I worked the service industry for five years. They just lost a great guest that ALWAYS tips more than your average person and always gives great referrals.
Change sign if it is incorrect as you said it was!!!
Very unprofessional

Got the basic pedicure ($ 18). She did a quick and horrible job. Did not file my nails, didn’t do anything except clip my nails, a little massage and polish. The Polish is terrible. This picture was even after I had her fix the big toe cause there was a gash through the middle. Then when I went to pay they said I had to pay cash, and the cash machine was down the block! Then I read the pamphlet to see where it states that. and it said you can pay by credit for 10% more, so I told her I would pay by debit since that would still be cheaper than going to the cash machine. She then had to talk to other people to see if I could do that! Finally came back and said fine and took my card. They were rude and not good at all. So after the extra charges and bad service I only gave a dollar tip from the cash I did have. The lady taking my money (who was staring at the slip the whole time I was signing) laughed at me and to the others when I only gave one dollar.
Well…sorry but I’m not going to tip you well if you don’t do well and are unprofessional… it’s a TIP!

So stoked with my Star Wars nails Tammy did for me today! I’ve been coming here for two years now and get the usual full set & mani but this time because it’s for a costume party and my nails weren’t looking so great. So I came in (as a walk in) and was hooked up with Tammy. I had her two weeks ago and was very please but this time I asked for a but more.
Artoo Detoo & See-​Threepio, Star Wars inspired. I’m obsessed and so happy!

I made a reservation and found out the nail tech I liked wasn’t there any more :-(. This is my second visit. Manicure was great first time. Not that happy today. I don’t recommend the basic manicure if you don’t know who you are getting or want a glam look. It’s eight bucks, thus the quality isn’t great, but it works for a computerholic nail biter like me. I tip very well, but hate having to be vigilant about nail edges or uneven polish.
Their spa pedicure for $ 25 was worthwhile, The scrub was excellent though I wished more focus on my feet not legs. I love that it is very clean, just observe the work and speak up, they will fix it. I loved their face and eyebrow wax last time and will go again, that was four stars. Today it was solid pedi. But underwhelming mani. It’s affordable so it’s give and take. OPI products rock!
