I had an amazing experience with April. I appreciated the thoroughness of the business with taking precautions so that their clients are safe. It was very clean and cute inside! April did an amazing job and took her time to make sure that my nails looked amazing. She is very easy to talk to as well! I am very happy with the final look and my overall experience at Hello Birdie.

Great, calm atmosphere, and great job on my pedicure! Parking is a pain, so get there a little early. Parking pretty standard for the area though.

The best nail salon in San Diego. I love the atmosphere / decor here. The staff is very kind and attentive, beverages offered upon arrival. The chairs are vey comfy. Claire is the best nail technician Ive ever met, she has amazing nail art and tons of attention to detail. I have also had my lash extensions done here and they were great, lasted a very long time and were done meticulously / to perfection.

I’ve been in search of a nail salon to call my nail home for awhile now but that is easier said than done. From poor customer service to racial micro aggressions and shoddy workmanship, this has been a long and unfruitful search.So when this nail salon was recommended to me, I was very hopeful. They’re little pricier than I normally pay but I’ve always been willing to pay extra if the service is worth it. My first couple of visits were great and I actually had the nerve to hope that maybe this was the place for me. Wrong!My last visit was my on my birthday on July 11. I came in for my usual gel mani and pedi. First off, the vibe was weird. Both ladies were completely silent for the first half of the service. No friendly banter. Nothing. Eventually I started up a conversation because it was too dang awkward sitting in complete silence.Next while Alexandria - who has done my nails before but I guess she didn’t remember me - was filing my nails, I noticed she was filing me nails back and forth in a saw-like motion. Now I know that’s wrong but I asked her if that was the right technique because to my understanding that wasn’t good for my nails. She told me that it didn’t really matter. Also, there were other moments during my appt that just weren’t up to par. While my nails looked alright, it just didn’t feel right. Customer service is very important to me. Being warm and friendly matters as is not outright lying to a customer.Now when I left, I made another appt but the days following, I decided to cancel because this place is not cheap by any means and while a business doesn’t have to be perfect, I shouldn’t feel weird when dealing with an establishment.I cancelled my appt in person and talked to the manager - I believe her name is Diane - to share my concerns with her about my experience. The whole time I was talking to her I got the distinct feeling she really didn’t care, even though she offered all the right platitudes. She even went as far as saying she would talk to the owner about my experience. I really don’t think she did. The nail tech outright lied to me about the nail filing and that should have been taken seriously. I haven’t heard from them and I don’t expect to. So guess my search for a nail salon continues. I refuse to spend my money somewhere I’m not valued.

Absolutely love this nail salon. Next-door you can get your hair done, and in here it is personal and comfortable, they ask you upon entering if you would like any kind of refreshment including wine, bubbly, or Boochcraft!

Carla did an absolute amazing job. This is both my mom and Is favorite place to go to get our nail art done. Although they only work on natural nails, they do allow you to come in with acrylics as long as its just the acrylics (no color polish). The staff is ALWAYS super friendly and helpful as well as welcoming. Theyre the best place to go in my opinion.

Ive been getting my lashes done for about 2 months now and Ive had a great experience. Its calm and quiet so I always end up taking a little nap and my lashes look amazing when I wake up! Street parking around here can be tricky but there are several affordable lots nearby.

It was a really good experience and excelent service

The best!! Aileen for lashes is tops

Excellent service. I like It.

I never thought I’d be a lash extension gal. I’m all about low maintenance and thought it would be too much upkeep. It turns out, it saves me time every day which is a luxury I wouldnt live without. Very sweet and caring staff that puts in the effort to accommodate my needs. I’ve been getting lashes since they opened shop and have had great experiences with all their techs. Kai is the gal I see most. She listens and puts so much care into understanding what I like and achieving it. Such a talent!

These ladies arw artists! You have to get nail art here. Cindy the owner is a great bosslady and has done well with her business. I recommend this place.

Staff were friendly and did very well with my nails. I heard that a lot of people come here for the nail art but didnt get it myself. They gave me and my friend Juneshine hard kombucha during our visit. Its a bit on the pricier side for my wallet but I would come here all the time if I could afford it.

Jessie does an AMAZING !!! Job. I love going to her as she does great job and always takes her time to make sure I get the best manicure ever!!!

The lash expert are always friendly and great. Got 3 fills already and I love the way my lashes look. Reception is slow though but that doesnt bother me too much.

I’ve been part of the lash club for almost 3 years and can’t believe I’ve waited this long to write a review. Between the talented lash artists and high quality products my lashes always look amazing, even right before a fill. I get compliments all the time. Thank you Hello Birdie!

About a year ago I smashed one of my finger nails really bad and needed some professional help to keep it intact. After calling around to a few shops and explaining my problem the ladies at Hello Birdie assured me they could fix me up. I went in and received fabulous service, its a very warm fun atmosphere and they made it easy on a guy who was in a nail shop for the first time.Fast forward a year later and I received an email with a special offer for my birthday and figured why the hell not. I again was just blown away by how warm and fun the atmosphere was, Cindy booked me with Claire who had helped me a year prior as well and it was just a great experience. I cannot recommend Hello Birdie enough, they truly exemplify what it means to be a customer oriented business.

Her kind service and quiet environment made us comfortable. Her mother was there assisting Sarah, she provide us snack thank you! She did beautiful art again on my wifes nail. Amazing nail style creative art work!

Want a masterpiece on your nails? They can do it. Period.

Friendly staff, cute and clean place. I have been a lash client of Kai’s for quite some time and will not go anywhere else. This girl knows what she’s doing and keeps my lashes looking and feeling great! Looking forward to my next appointment!

I’ve been a nail and lash extension client of Hello Birdie since it opened in 2015. Cindy, the owner, does a great job in hiring her team. These ladies are absolute artists! I’m currently apart of the lash club, I pay a flat rate monthly to upkeep my lashes with a twice a month appointment. This helps immensely with my procrastination, I’ve been guilty of that the past with my lashes. I most recently have gone to Kadeeja and Aileen and highly recommend them both. They are both very thorough and I don’t have any poking or irritation between appointments. They also offer adhesive for sensitive skin. The lash room is very comfortable and they offer blankets if you want to cozy up, sometimes I have conversation, other times I listen to a podcast with headphones.This is a special place to get your nails done, everyone is an artist. Get nail art while your there and let them know if it’s something that takes some time so they book enough time for your art. I will usually book with Ashley Janson but have been very happy with all the gals. A big concern when it comes to nail salons is catching any fungus, right?! Any fear of “nail shop uncleanliness” is over when you come here because they use autoclave to sterilize their equipment. So any concern there is wiped clean. There’s some feedback about the price being on the higher end, yes that’s where I’m putting my money, on cleanliness and artistry.I want to mention I’m a hairstylist next door at The Lab A Salon, being in the industry gives me opportunity to know many salons and artists, I’m familiar with the “behind the scenes” in a salon and I’m very confident choosing to be client at Hello Birdie. They are doing things right!

First time going in as a walk in everyone was super nice the service was great and they were really nice to my puppy too. Pedicure was amazing my feet feels so soft and my nails look beautiful. Will definitely be coming back!

If you have allergies, please do not use Hello Birdie Services. I told multiple employees I was highly allergic to latex and they all said it will be fine! I got eyelash extensions on a Thursday and couldnt open my eyes on Saturday. Spoke with the owner after I had them and she had to call the manufacturers to make sure there wasnt any latex. She said she would send me a list of ingredients, which after five minutes of researching I found one of the ingredients is in latex. After going to urgent care to get steroids, being in extreme discomfort, and missing days of work I would have hoped they could have offered more than Im sorry we couldnt have known. I truly hate to complain, but if I mentioned this multiple times why wouldnt they have tried a patch test or given me literally any information? Makes me think maybe the money is worth more than the clients well-being.

I have really mixed feelings about this place. My friend and I both went together. My experience was not so great and hers was amazing. So I suppose it depends on who you get. My tech seemed rush to get to her next client who arrived early. I didnt really get a massage and one of my toe nails was not completely painted. My friends tech luckily fixed it for me. I expected more for the $60+ I paid (w/tip). I dont feel that it was worth it. There was nothing special about it vs what I can get at another salon for much less.

I love this place! I make the drive from San Marcos just to go here. Ask for Carla she is just the best!

This place is pricey but worth it. The nail technicians are so amazing at what they do. The nail art is off the charts! Look them up on Instagram for some pics of their fantastic work

Clean, welcoming, and aesthetically pleasing environment. Everyone who works here is super talented and friendly.

A gem in San Diego! The best nails in town... anything you can dream up, they can do! The lash extensions are to die for too! I go there for all of the above. Last but not least... the ladies there are fun to hang with but also professional.

Out of all the nail places in San Diego this is by far my favorite! All of the girls are super talented when it comes to nail art. The only issue is the exhaustion you get from saying thank you all the time from all the compliments you receive :)

I recently purchased premium lash extensions at Hello Birdie. The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was clean and nice. Erin was gentle and did a thorough job. The experience was comfortable.The day after receiving the lashes, my eyes swelled, turned red, and exhibited extreme reaction, including small bumps on my eyes and lids. I called Hello Birdie and left a message. They called back the next morning after opening and set up a time two days later when they could perform complimentary removal. They also apologized and provided a full refund.The lash removal (which happened today) lasted about fifteen minutes. Erin also performed this. She was friendly, thorough, and made the process comfortable and easy. Shes seems very good at her job.The only reasons for the lower rating are that I wasnt warned of the possible reactions, the sensitive adhesive was not used even though I indicated having sensitive eyes, and the response was not immediate for removing the lashes. You cant remove the adhesive yourself and my eyes were red, patchy from missing lashes, tearing, and extremely painful. I obviously also couldnt wear any eye makeup. It was hard to function for the days that I had the lashes, and the pain was constant, even through the night.Hello Birdie seems like a nice establishment, but would caution anyone with sensitive eyes. This was an extremely painful procedure. I have a formal gala tomorrow night and am hopeful that my eyes heal to the point that theyre not red/ swollen/ bumpy, and that I can return to wearing makeup.

It may be more expensive than every other nail place in the neighborhood, but it is 100% worth it. My pedicure lasts 3 weeks! I love the atmosphere and the women who work there are fantastic.

Ashley is a talented nail technician with a pleasant, fun personality. The place is swanky but also as down to earth as North Park. Have a glass of wine and a piece of chocolate, sit back and enjoy your investment in yourself.

Overpriced. Dont take walk in appointment. Very snooty and better then you staff. Was so rude to my daughter she didnt even get her nails done that day. Just wanted to go home and cry.

For Fantastic nail art, look no further. Worth every penny.

Great salon, but horrible front desk customer service to say the least. Aside from that I would have given this salon the full 5-star.

Great service

Very good service
