OMGosh, I am so impressed, and I'm a man in his sixties! Best service ever, in all respects! I got a luxury spa pedicure, and now I feel like a king - worth every cent! So happy that this business has survived COVID (and several closures as a result). The owner is surviving, even though business has dropped over the past two years and she's now running the place by herself. Please give it a try - you won't be disappointed!

Monalisa has been doing my nails for the past several years. She does such great work and is very meticulous. I appreciate that she listens to me and shapes my nails to my request. Choosing a color is always the hardest part and she is so wonderful in assisting me with which color looks best with my skin tone. Monalisa is very friendly and welcoming. her shop is very clean and our safety is important to her. If you need a place to go, this is it! Give her a call!

Lisa is simply the best. I've never had a better manicure or pedicure. Her salon is spotless with several nail stations and spa pedicure stations. I can't recommend this nail spa highly enough.

THE BEST NAIL SALON EVER! I have been coming here for nearly 15 years, and Lisa is heaven sent! The salon is very clean and organized. The owner, Lisa, is very nice, attentive, and detail-oriented. She is all about quality over quantity. Several of her customers have known her for a long time and has excellent working relationships with all of them. If you want a clean, quality oriented, and friendly environment to get your nails done, this place is it! I HIGHLY recommend.

The staff was polite, my nail artist was gentle and very nice. The atmosphere was calming and pleasant. One thing I did notice was the floor was quite messy with nails and such, that could use a little more upkeep. Overall a good experience.

I gave it one star so I could write a review There service is horrible for the price. I paid $45 dollar for white tip that anywhere else would of cost less. When I told the owner what i wanted she was rude unprofessional. All my nails are different shapes and look horrible. I will not be coming here again.

Love the Salon and the ladies that work there! Very professional, nice, and always do a great job. I'm never disappointed. This is not a "get you in get you out" Salon. They take their time and pamper you while doing an expert job every time. I highly recommend Nails by Mona Lisa.

Nope! I thought I had found my nail place cause the owner is so sweet. I went in with my daughter for full sets and pedicures. But I quickly realized that she doesn't know how to do pink and white gel very nice. She left all my edges ragged and some nails are lumpy. She told my daughter to get gel which she did. But the other lady that did my daughters nails made every single nail shape and size a different. Won't be going back. She was also very rough. I'm not asking for special treatment but she was rough.

I honestly don't like to write reviews but I had too this time. I don't even want to give it one star at all but I guess I have too. But this place is over priced for no reason! For a FILL I had to pay $35, that's how much I pay for a new set! Then to top it off my nails are NOT even, each nail literally has a different shape! Then she also left the acrylic on my nails SUPER thick and bumpy!

If you're going to charge me that much for a fill at least do a BETTER job! I'll never go there again, I was going to tell my family and friends to go here but yup I'm definitely NOT telling them.

The first time I stopped in here which was about 3 months ago. I felt very welcomed. The owner Lisa is very polite and attentive to your needs. Kim did my gel manicure and Tweety did my Pedicure. I was extremely happy with both services. What I loved more than anything is that Kim cares about the integrity of my nails. She does not file on top of the nail or use a drill to remove stubborn gel.

She takes her time with your service you don't feel like a number. She chats with you instead of her colleagues. This is the type of nail salon where I want to bring my business I am a customer for life!

Worst customer service! Went back as the atmosphere is quiet and serene. Got a french manicure, shellac. After one week the nails are breaking all along the white strip. Even though my nails don't break, have never broken like this, Lisa claims it's not their fault.nothing they can do! Seriously? Possibly don't skimp and go cheap on product? That would be my suggestion. She said I should get nail tips. At my expense. Now, my nicely shaped, medium length nail have to be cut all the way down. I'm just sick!

I usually come here with my sister to get mani pedis, and we BOTH love it here. We found our forever nail home & we love it. Not only are all the ladies who work here nice and lovely, but no matter who you Are, they'll go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. One thing I will not forget is Lisa remembered it was my birthday the week I came in and wished me a happy birthday. If you're looking for a forever nail place, THIS IS THE ONE!

I recently moved back to SD, found this place online and made an appointment. Kim is really sweet and did a great job! They are reasonably priced but the customer service, work and comfertable atmosphere are exemplary. I am definitely going back and would recommend it looking for a new nail salon!

Lisa and Kelly do my nails. I LOVE Nails by Monalisa. Wonderful atmosphere, personal yet professional. Very clean salon.

Honestly I've never had this horrible experience, the owner Lisa was very rude and overcharged me just because I did not get gel manicure like she wanted me to get. It was her way to punish me for not want to spend almost $50 on acrylic nails. Please do not go by her, there's plenty nails stores around with much better attitude.

The ladies who work here are very nice! The shop itself is modest, but very clean and their prices are reasonable. Definitely will be a return customer. :

This was my first time trying out this salon and I really liked it! I went with my best friend and her mom, there was a little confusion when sitting us down for our pedicures, but once everything got started it was a good experience! It was not overly busy and loud like a lot of nail salons, so I liked that a lot. They were nice and friendly, good customer service & my nails turned out really cute. Would recommend

I went in with no appointment, and needed a broken nail repaired. I ended up getting a fill, and 1 extra nail, the service was efficient, and very clean I will return

Almost 10 years ago, I was a regular customer of Nails by Monalisa. The only reason I stopped going is because I moved out of the area. I e recently returned and visited them today for a mani/pedi for my daughter and a full set and pedi for myself. As soon as I walked in, the owner, Lisa recognized me! I was floored. So was my daughter. The quality of the salon has not deminished in any way.

They take cleanliness and sanitation as seriously as they always have. The quality of their work is also still excellent. I'm happy to once again be able to patronize their business regularly.

We will NEVER go to this salon again. Daughter was charged $65 for a fill and pedicure! She doesn't honor the prices her signs and her website say for these services. She over charged and she knew it! Taking advantage of a teen. She should be reported to the state for charging more to customers then her signs/website says.it's against the law!

Amazing. I have been coming here for pedicures since I was old enough to walk, my mom would take me and the girls at the salon would bolster me up with pillows to keep me from sliding off the chairs! They would do crazy designs for me like turkeys on thanksgiving and pumpkins on Halloween! now at 17 I still come back and get the best service. I adore seeing familiar faces. IT IS ALWAYS SO CLEAN THERE! They focus on cleanliness. Wonderful salon, I hope to bring my daughter here in the future and enjoy spending that time with her.

Rude rude rude. I wanted to purchase a Mothers day gift certificate. I was looking over the services and prices. I was there for approximately 2 minutes, one girl told the other something in Vietnamese. Then I was told " hurry up we have to leave" I graciously excused myself and left without buying anything. The first impression is always the last. With that being said, I will not go back again not recommend anyone to go there for any reason.

This is my go to place. Granted I can walk it so it saves me gas. The prices are very reasonable. They always get my nails they way I want them, and I'm very picky about them. Once a month I get a pedicure. And the ladies remember I'm ticklish and need my calluses so they don't try to up sell me on anything. It's clean and there is relaxing classical music. It's warm in the winter and cool in the summer. They've don't my eyebrows a few times and I was pleased, but I have redhead invisible eyebrows so I generally forget they need attention and this isn't a regular treatment for me.

Been going here for years. They do an excellent job in a relaxed and friendly environment. They did a wonderful pedicure for my husband who had cracked callouses and ingrown toenails! I've also had them do eyebrow waxing and love the results. For the pedicure, they have a menu of services with the least expensive spa pedicure being $21. The place is very clean.

Best place you can go in ALL of San Diego County for a pedicure and manicure. They take their time and you always get the same quality service. This is a clean and very well run establishment. I even commute 30 minutes to get my pedi and mani. I highly recommend Nails by Monalisa!

I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for. I paid $36 for a Royal spa pedicure and it was worth every penny. My feet have not seen a spa chair since November so I was in great need. My feet feel amazing and my skin on my legs feel amazing. I have been to quiet a few nails places for Spa Pedi and I believe this place is a real hidden gem. Very nice and friendly! Make sure you bring CASH for a tip. I am definitely coming back for future Spa Pedi and I believe there basic one is $21.

I went to Lisa's for about 3 years for my nails, and I loved her & the women that worked there. They were always nice and really cheerful. I started going to a different nail salon but my mom kept going for their awesome pedicures, which, at a time, you could receive for 15 dollars. Recently, we went in to get our toes done, only to find they only offer spa pedicures for a whopping 30 dollars. Definitely won't be returning anytime soon.
