I love to celebrate down to my toes and I'm grateful to have found Thu who can help me share the enjoyment of doing so! She is very sweet, kind, and focused on creating a great experience for you. I have been many times and not only has she created cute designs on my toes, that my clients ask about, I love the hot towel and her massage on my legs as well! That might be saying something as I do massage & bodywork for a living here in beautiful Del Mar. ;) Plus this time of year is perfect to sit there to look at the beautiful cherry tree outside while relaxing inside! Thank you so much Read Less

The owner is seriously the best. She is a perfectionist so make sure you're not in a rush.  She does a custom gel color for me which is lovely. It is a blend of sheer pink and sheer white gel.

Horrible place,would not recommend anyone!I called nail place I got appointment for 2 people.I asked lady how long it will take,she told me one hour for me and my friend.I requested do same time,she told me no problem,she has 4 people do pedi/mani same time( it is call lie person) .I asked her if she can do nail disayne,she said yes.Ask if it can take more time it is fine.So we will have 2 hours spend there.I booked my next appointment for massage in other place.My friend visited me in town and we wanted have a good time.I came there,lyft  dropped us there we had 2 hours.I came with my friend did not think righ and she putted us in chair both .I ask her if she is only one?Her anwser was yes.I said we have only 1 hour and 30 min.She said no problem.She said she called me back and wanted tell me couple of her employees not show up.(I did not have any misscall)I tried to come down myself and enjoyed my pedicure.My friend already set in chair and putted fit there.I did the same what lady told me.She is started to do my pedicure with files and buffer which is she used on many clients.I ask her to changed she did not even listen to me.The Place was in process remodeling as well.It was very dusty and dirty.After 10 min filling and cleaning she wanted put lotion and I told her she has to removed and clean my cuticles and remove a callus again.She did not have anything new to used on my feet.I told her I do not mind to pay more if she can not rush and just do good job and used everything new and clean.My friend sat in chair with water already disappointed and he wanted do pedicure in his hotel,where he stayed.After callus remover with used files,she did not removed at all.Horrible job!She putted lotion and did 2 min feet massage,which is end up with a bruise,not massage manipulation at all.I do pedicure every 3 weeks and never end up with like this bad experience in Del Mar.Finally she pained my nail all over my toes,nail polish was very tick did not dry on my toes.She waisted almost 2 hours my time with horrible job,never got disayne on nails,because she did not know how to do.I ask her simple disayne and even showed her picture of simple flower.She putted white dots and I asked to remove it,because it was not a flower.I paid 29$ plus 11 $ tip for pedicure,which is I would not want even for free.I never got my mani ,refused to do,after horrible job with pedi.Lease my friend enjoy hot feet bath and end up with cold water,just waited on pedicure chair.My dress was very dirty after chair,because was a lot of dust there.I do not know how State board approved this place to provide services.After her service I end up with nail fungest.If you love yourself,stay away from owner who is lying on the phone,make sure she can get some business.,or bring your own files and tools to not get a nail fungest.I believe all 5 starts reviews is fake!Because this place is underconstraction and dusty,not clean at all.The worst experience ever!P.S.we went in other place next day and I redone my pedi and Did mani too.For 29$ they added me pineapple scrab as well and did good feet massage for 15 min.

Unlike some salons where the manicurist seems to rush, Thu takes her time to do it right. She includes a hand and forearm massage and preps the nails properly so that the manicure lasts.

Horrible job on my nails. After 24 hours they started lifting and they will not last the two weeks. All the edges are rough and she didn't either use enough gel for my expensive $40.00 fill or put gel around the edges. For Del Mar the shop is old, out dated and dirty. Her light over her station turns on and off constantly which is annoying. Don't waste your money on this over priced shop which does a horrible job. She probably asked these other people to write a good review on her. I noticed her appointment book was pretty blank too as she works on you and answers the phone. Read Less
