Absolutely amazing! One of the best nail salons I’ve been to! We are visiting from out of town. Susan did my gel manicure and really listened to what I wanted in terms of the nail art design I wanted! I love how it turned out! She was very sweet snd kind! I would definitely recommend this nail salon to anyone visiting San Diego or to any locals!

Nice staff & place, but didn’t get what I asked for. I asked my tech if she could do ombré french tip toe nails. She said she could, but the correct answer was no. I showed her what I wanted and she gave me something completely different. She asked me if I liked it, and I said “it looks nothing like the picture I showed you”. She didn’t fix anything, but kept asking me if I liked it, and I was just annoyed and irritated and said “sure”. I didn’t want to throw her under the bus when the receptionist asked about how I liked it (since I had already let the tech know, that wasn’t what I asked for), but really I was so dissatisfied with my nails and the price I payed for something I didn’t want. (Attached is a picture of what I got v.s what I asked for).

AMAZING! This was the first time Ive gotten my nails done with falsies. Apple was my nail tech and she did an excellent job. She stayed late to finish my set and still took her time. It was a wonderful job. I got acrylic gel nails and it was so fun to watch her build them! Apple is an artist for sure! 💙🥰

I have had the pleasure of visiting this shop many times. The employees are very personable and go the extra mile to make you feel comfortable. Nail service is always divine and the staff is great with giving suggestions if needed. Waxing is thorough and the workers do an excellent job of creating a soothing and relaxing environment.

The person who did my nails was fantastic. I had a lovely pedicure which has lasted at least 2 weeks. Unfortunately, not everyone here is quite as well trained. My mother-in-laws nails were wrecked within minutes because her manicurist applied giant globs of nail polish. My daughter had a similar experience, and she chose to redo her nails on her own when we came home. I dont recommend this place because they are expensive and the quality fluctuates.

Honestly I’ve been to quite a few nail salons and never have I had one do the most incredible job the 1st time. Annie is INCREDIBLE and I highly recommend. This salon had amazing customer service and were just overall amazing. The best in San Diego with the best prices as well

I don’t even know where to start with this review! Immediately Walking into this place was amazing and clean. The girls in the front had amazing customer service skills. Now for the nail techs. Susan is my new favorite person! Not only is she super nice, she is amazing at what she does from the massage to the way she’s able to do a gel mani. My constant issue with so many nail salons is that every tech I have ever seen has had me walking out with nails that look like they’ve already grown out some. But Susan has surpassed my expectations. I never thought I’d ever get my nails so nice. And let me not start about the complimentary mimosa’s! They were perfectly mixed! This place is officially my go to and I will definitely be recommending it to all my girls! 💜 thank you for the amazing experience Blush Hour Nails! (I’m trying to upload a picture but for someone reason it’s not letting me )

Review №11

This is the best nail salon Ive been to by far. Susan did my gel manicure and Rubi my pedicure. Rubi really went to town on my feet so I give her that. Susan was nice and sociable. Fast forward a week later I notice the hot pink is not the same color match from gel to regular polish and Im noticing a dark line across some of my fingers and toes that Ive never seen before whenever I get them done. So thats concerning. Ill give them another try down the line.

Review №12

Had an amazing pedicure I wish I remembered her name but she took her time and was very careful and thorough. I had an okay experience with the acrylic nails. They look okay but it felt rushed and she began applying polish before washed my hands which led to an ugly residue in my nail bed. I also took my niece for her birthday and the nail tech claimed she could do the design she asked for but the design was not executed well at all, my niece also bled because the tech was was rushing.

This is my favorite nail salon ever with an amazing atmosphere! I have been coming here for almost FIVE years. Kathy the owner is so sweet and professional! Tee always does my nails & I just absolutely adore her. She is fast and so good at design. I would give them 10 stars.

Review №17

Won’t be going back again…been here twice and even with an appointment you still wait. They have trouble even doing simple designs. She couldn’t do three out of the five nail photos I asked for and the girl next to me was just fed up when all she wanted was a blue ombré look.I called to make one but was told no appointments made after 4 PM and just walkins after.I got there at 6 and the first thing the girl with the black low cut said was “hello do you have an appointment?”.. umm everybody should be on the same page if appointments are allowed after 4pm or not.I ended up walking out after an hour and 10min waiting.. wait time she stated was 30-40min

There is absolutely nothing I can say bad about this Nail spa. I have been coming for over 2 years and I look forward to my appointment with Misa and Susan. Hands (and feet) down the best place for a full set and pedicure. I have always felt safe even before pandemic of how well kept and clean the spa always was and still is. Nothing but love to all my ladies at Blush! ❤💚💛

My feet were long overdue for pedicure because of the shutdown. I called Blush Hour to make a reservation and was able to get in same day. They take very good precautions on Covid. Cyndy helped me out and she was so sweet. She took her time and made sure I was happy with the service. Everyone in the shop seems very happy and helpful. Definitely recommend this place.

I love Blush Hour! They always do such an amazing job. Everyone is so nice and professional. I went for the first time after the stay at home restrictions were lessened and they were very cautious and clean. I saw them constantly disinfecting and sanitizing. It gave me peace of mind that they were doing their due diligence during this unprecedented time. If you want great service in a super cute place, come here!

I 100% recommend this place. Ive been to so many nail salons and nothing has compared to this. The service was unbeatable, everyone was so kind and welcoming not to mention they answered every single question I had. They also had complimentary drinks and snacks plus their salon is beautiful. I got acrylics and Im so in love with them. Shout out to Kathy for doing such a wonderful job!

Review №47

I expected better, Especially for the price! The manicurist did a fast and sloppy job! I was extremely disappointed! I also got a pedicure. Also didnt take her time, didnt massage my feet, instead massage the same spot on my legs..was very confused on why she wouldnt spend more time on my feet! That is why I payed for a pedicure! Did a fast wipe with scrub brush, didnt actually scrub! Extremely upset for a $30 basis pedicure!!I didnt leave a tip! I always leave a tip when I get my nails done! I will not be returning to this nail shop! I looked at the stars and reviews before coming here. It was definitely not a good review from me!

Review №48

I bought my wife and her friend pedicures as a suprise. Called in and was told it would be $30 a person. I was charged $37 a person cause they added on a callus treatment that neither my wife or her freind recieved. So this is just another typical nail place that will lie straight to me and my wifes face and overcharge you for services that you never get...

Al
Review №49

Nothing like paying $65 for an upgraded pedicure to get ridculously and obviously hurried through to make a room for a dad to sit next to his wife and two sons on Mothers Day. She did an excellent job on the nails, but the added services on the Blush Hour pedicure were far from worth the extra money.

They always take care of me here. Everyone has always been pleasant with a smile. Ive been coming in for almost 2 years now. The recent/ current remodel is going great and the place is looking fantastic. I cant wait to see the final product. I drop recommend calling to check the wait in the weekends. Will keep coming back!

Review №51

We were super late to our appointments because our flight was delayed and so we called them, they said “No problem! We will wait for you.” Very clean and well kept place, super nice staff, very quick we got 3 mani pedis and were in and out in under 2 hours. Tiffani was the one who did my nails and she was so speedy and kind, plus she did an AMAZING job! All of the other girls were awesome as well, hers was just the only name tag I noticed. Hands down the best mani pedi I have ever gotten.

Review №52

Every time I come here I am so happy with my nails. I have had different nail techs every time. The new expanded salon is beautiful!I was told the wait would be about 15 minutes as a walk in but I was given a mimosa and seated in about 10. Kathy the owner did my nails today and was so sweet. We talked through the whole service.To take gel off and do a new gel manicure took about an hour. I always find them to be quick but perfectionists.They have a new online system to check in and collect points.This has become my favorite nail salon.

Review №53

Im coming back, and I cant wait! I came for a pedicure, this place is very clean and doesnt smell of polish. The temperature inside is nice Im not too hot or cold. There are plenty of colors to select from and theyre numbered and have their own spot which makes it easy for next time if I want the color again. The manicure stations have outlets and purse hooks which is very nice. They arent very busy and I havent felt rushed to get out of the massage chair so Im not gonna! :)

It’s always a great experience whenever I come here. The place had a recent remodel and it’s beautiful inside, everyone is friendly and welcoming.

Absolutely amazing work! All the ladies are so sweet and they offer you drinks while you get worked on. Extremely detail oriented. My nails are the perfect sharp claw every time. I’ve been here 4 or 5 times and have never had to wait more than 10 minutes even when they’re busy. Best nail shop in San Diego hands down

I was in a hurry one afternoon, trying to catch a flight but sneak a pedicure in on the way. Von, did a top notch pedicure in under 30 minutes (at my request)! They are pleasant, professional, and they dont hassle with trying to up-sale services. I have gone back in since my express pedi, and the experience was relaxing and thorough.

NEW updated review: I’ve been going to this place pretty often for months now and I overall am really satisfied with everything. I’m actually going here soon again! It’s a beautiful with lovely decor and always a lot of people always there. My only complaint is that sometimes the customer service isn’t as it SHOULD be. One time I had scheduled an appointment and arrived on time, but everyone was busy. I ended up having to wait a long time, about an hour, to get my nails done, even though I had made an appointment! I saw other people get their appointments in before me, who had just arrived as well. I was confused and stressed out. I had something else happening later that day but had to move it because the times ended up changing.On another note, I really LOVE the nails I get done here. Although sometimes they rush their work to get people in. You can really tell that the work could’ve been done a lot better, the people working there do know what they’re doing! I personally feel like they should expend their nail art and offer more things to do. Sometimes I’ll show a picture and they say they can’t do that because they don’t know how, so we end up having to think of an alternative way to do the desired look. It would be awesome to see more advanced work, if that makes any sense!Also like I mentioned earlier, sometimes customer service isn’t the best. One time I was asking a question about the nails in a really respectful tone, and the woman doing my nails quickly said “I know what I’m doing!” I didn’t really say much after.Overall this place is OKAY. Definitely need improvements on costumer service.

First time coming here. Had a question about the dip powder with the young lady that looked like she runned the place she wasnt so helpful she just gave me the menu of what services they provide, then went back to talk to another employee there. So she was not helpful at all. Aside from that Linda (pedí) and Ivy (dip powder set) did an amazing job. Love my nails! Will be coming back for Linda and Ivy.

Absolutely a hidden gem in San Diego, I first found out this place by having lunch at the Sushi restaurant. This Nail salon is amazing clean and the staffs are so awesome. Taylor and Kathy are super entertaining to talk to. The technicians are amazing with the dipping powders. I have friends gotten their Powder nails done from different salon and now they are all ended up at Blush. Don’t forget to do the Pedicure while getting your hands done, the perfect combo.

Review №93

I literally just walked out of this place and they didnt even try to stop me. After arranging an appointment and showing up on time, they proceeded to keep us sitting for 20 minutes because of poor planning. Having not been acknowledged, they finally prepared a chair for me to sit in and left me sitting with my feet in the hot water for another 15 minutes without anyone even saying anything to me. Finally, I had enough and decided I couldnt in my right mind pay them any money for this kind of horrible service, so I left. With so many other quality nail places around, it isnt worth your time to take the risk that they will just waste your life. Find somewhere else to go!
