About · 134 Broadway, Chula Vista

A local studio built on care, color, and craft.

The Nails Stop is a small, friendly nail salon on Broadway in Chula Vista, CA. We focus on clean technique, lasting finishes, and the kind of one-on-one attention that turns first-timers into regulars.

Clients come to us for hand-painted nail art, crisp French tips, and our signature Royal Ceramic cat eye gel — a magnetic, jewel-toned shimmer in 24 shades.
