About

Kayla and Hana took over ownership and management of UME Nail Lounge in December 2025. Both work as nail technicians and each has more than ten years of experience in the nail industry, according to the salon's about page.

The salon says it follows a clean beauty approach, using high-quality products and techniques meant to protect natural nails. It describes itself as a high-rated nail care provider and as one of the most loved nail lounges in San Diego, and its Instagram describes it as one of the best nail salons in Rancho Peñasquitos; these are the salon's own descriptions.

The space is described as clean and relaxing, and not overly large. Manicures come with regular polish or lacquer, and gel is an added cost. Pedicures run from a quick Standard service up through The Deluxe, Recovery, The Royal, UME Special and UME V.I.P, with soaks, exfoliation, masks, hot stone and massage at the higher tiers. Recovery, UME Special and Builder Gel/T.A.P Gel are marked as bestsellers or client favorites.

Prices can change depending on add-ons, customization or design. Adding any manicure to a nail enhancement earns a $10 discount, according to the services page. Kids' services are offered for children 12 years and younger, and waxing covers both face and body.
