Flora Blanc Nail & Lash Studio

I absolutely love this salon! Such a great experience every single time. The entire team is incredibly sweet and you can tell they genuinely care about their clients. Everyone here is so kind and welcoming, and they always take their time to make sure you leave happy. Claire does my lashes and she is AMAZING! So gentle, so attentive, and truly cares about getting everything just right. I always feel relaxed and taken care of. Highly recommend!

Read Update below What a great new nail salon in Encinitas - the atmosphere is perfect for a relaxing experience. UPDATE The above review provided a discount but now I can share my real thoughts. This salon does have a nice atmosphere but the service is very slow with inconsistent results. You will always have to wait. My experience has been waiting anywhere from 30 min to days. Yes, days. One month they were so overbooked and behind that I was asked to forego my appt and come back in a few days. Routinely I’m asked to wait or even come back hours later. My service today was 30 min late and I needed to leave at a certain time 2 hrs past my original scheduled appointment. I kept reminding the nail tech of the time but it was of no concern. Once I was already 7 min past my needed departure time another lady took over. Once I got home I noticed that on 8/10 nails the hard gel is not even attached to my nails and separating already. Also this tech kept grinding into my cuticle causing pain and filed my nails so thin that the UV was very painful. I hope they fix my current nail set but I am hesitant to ever come back again. See pic where nails popped off the very next day. I had to go to a job interview missing 5 nails!! I called the salon and they were apologized and offered to fix the very next day. Today, after calling 8 times with no one picking up - finally the manager came on the line and said they are fully booked and cannot fix my nails today. Instead they did offer a refund but failed to notify me I will never return to this nail salon. I am left with wrecked, sore nails and have to find time and somewhere else to fix

I’ve been here multiple times now and my experiences have been getting worse with every appointment. This past time to remove the hard gel from my previous manicure, the tech chipped it off the old gel from my nails and kept pulling when they weren’t coming off. Then as she was applying the gel x, she didn’t check all the nail beds for the proper size and a few of them were too small and I had to ask for her to fill it in. She rudely responded “you tell me which ones” rather than taking pride in her work and correcting the mistakes on her own. Multiple extensions were applied crooked and I asked her to fix them and she kept saying they were not. Got to the point I gave up asking. Then for color I wanted Cats eye gel and she didn’t even apply a base color so the nail is sheer and you can see through the tip where my natural nail ends. The website lists gel x as 65+, but always charges 90 with the $5 discount. Not sure why I was charged 90 when they didn’t even do cuticles, I was willing to pay more when I left the solan happy. Unfortunately this will be my last time at this solan, not worth the price.

Flora Blanc is by far the BEST nail studio I have ever been to! The atmosphere is welcoming and every staff member is incredibly kind and attentive. I have gotten both Gel X manicures and Gel pedicures and they have all been phenomenal. Linh is incredibly talented and if you are looking to get any intricate nail designs she is always my go to! Her attention to detail and perfectionism is unmatched. I drive almost an hour everytime I want to get my nails done but I cannot stress enough that it is WORTH IT EVERYTIME! I cannot recommend this studio enough! They run on appointments only which also takes the stress out of waiting for a tech to be available. After going to Flora Blanc I feel like I can't go anywhere else. I very very highly recommend them!

hands down best nail salon in encinitas! they do such a good job, I get gel x and it always lasts 3+ weeks! interior is so cute and aesthetic and they always give you a little bottle of spring water which I love a perfect location right in the heart of downtown encinitas
