Onyx Nails - National City (CA)

Dawn Redd I love my Mani/pedi shop! A little pricey, but worth it. I only get my nails and feet done once a month. I rarely break a nail! Clean shop!

Niki Anstrand I am so glad Alebrijes is so close to my home. I have been coming here for almost two years now, and Sandra does an absolutely amazing job on my nails every single time (I have gotten sculpture gel and acrylic nails with gel polish, both shiny and matte styles in a variety of colors). I have also gotten pedicures from multiple women who work here and my toes always come out amazing, and everyone who works here has been really kind and welcoming to me. I even recently brought one of my best friends who was visiting from Florida to come get a pedicure with me from Alebrijes, and not only did she love how her pedicure came out, but she also said the salon was the most beautiful nail salon she had ever been in, which I absolutely agree with. You can definitely tell that all the women who work at Alebrijes take a lot of pride in their work, and the beauty, cleanliness and atmosphere of the salon. I was surprised tonight to see that there are some negative reviews on here from people saying that there was no parking or that they didnt like that the salon is appointment only. I come here every two weeks, and my appointments have been all different days of the week and times of day, and there is always parking right around the corner at Santa Venetia park, I have literally never had a single issue finding basically half the parking lot open there. Of course, if youre only looking to park in the spaces right in front of the salon youll have an issue, because those spots are notoriously always taken, but the park I park at is only a minute and a half walk from the salon, is free and always has spots so I always go straight there. I have also always had a good experience with their online booking, it is super easy to add services or guests, but I do make sure to try to book ahead for my fills because they are very popular and its important to book ahead of time if you have a busy schedule. The fact that they are appointment-only is a good sign to me, because they provide high-quality service and therefore are busy because they are in high demand. Also, their sugar scrub that they give you to wash your hands with after a manicure smells AMAZING, I always leave Alebrijes super happy and relaxed. I very highly recommend this salon and will continue to be a customer and bring my friends for spa days for as long as I live in the area.

Sherdellah Anunciado My first time here and Ive found a gem! My assigned nail tech, Lien, took her time with removing my previous (gritty) gel manicure from somewhere else. Then when she applied the new gel polish, she meticulously went all the way to the cuticle and didnt blob on too much, unlike other fast seat turning salons. The entire time I was there, their customers came in like regulars, some even brought them holiday gifts, many phoned in for appointments and in return, they were all very nice to greet each customer walking in within 5 seconds of stepping foot in the salon. I definitely recommend and look forward to returning!

Jennifer Romero Kathys is great. Ive gone in 3 times now for a gel mani and they come out so cute! Gel lasts forever. I did not get my first chip until almost two weeks. Staff is nice. Will definitely keep coming back.

Kaiah I was pleasantly surprised and impressed by this place. My acrylic full set turned out beautifully and my technician paid full attention to detail. The whole salon was clean, organized, and relaxing. The pedicure was good and the pedicure chair was one of the best I’ve ever been in. The prices were very reasonable. My base acrylic set was $45 and I paid extra for design. I got my last set removed here and they were very gentle with my nails, didn’t hurt during the removal process and soaked the acrylic off instead of filing which tends to burn. This was not a salon where they were trying to get you out as soon as possible. I’m a licensed nail technician myself and I highly recommend this place and I’ll definitely be back for more services. It felt so nice I wish I had worn something nicer lol. I was a walk in customer and was helped right away. Everything is updated and felt luxurious. The only thing I would bring up was that I wanted a regular polish pedicure and they were very pushy about getting gel. Other than that, I’m happy here and pleased with the service I received.

Jacqueline Ramirez Cathy knows what I like and is always recommending colors that I’m not used to but always seems to get it right on point

Loulou Kaine Loved how Cathy is so careful and my nails are always perfect!

Jody Clark Happy I came here! My nail tech was very nice. I showed her what I wanted and got exactly that! I love that she used different techniques to try and get the right shading and blending for the base of my nail. I didn’t get her name but she was amazing! I’m definitely will be coming back here!

Amy Nguyen Loved my nails from here!! I got a full set of acrylics and a pedicure done and the ladies were super nice, and the value is great. This is my go to spot now.
