    I've had appointments with Sally and HaHa and I love that I have found such talented nail techs near home. I appreciate the variety of colors available and little touches like a phone stand so I can watch or read while they work. They are both very gentle and are so meticulous about their work. Thank you Sally and HaHa for taking care of this tired mama and making her feel pampered!

    Been coming to Aiko Nails for more than a year now. This is the only place in the Bay Area that does the best quality cat eye nails! As a mom, i need my nails to be "heavy duty" - Sally (the owner) does a great job making my nails tough and beautiful at the same time - They almost never chip! Highly recommend this place!

    I got Cat eye nails done and it's so cute and good quality finishing. Janisa is very detail oriented and kind as well.

    Janisa did such beautiful work, you can tell she takes pride in the work she does! She is very detail oriented. Loved my nails!

    I had a lovely time with Janisa! I came from out of town in desperate need of a new set of hard gel nails. I was able to schedule my appointment through their Instagram the same week (scheduled Tuesday, service requested on Saturday), they are very responsive. There is a $50 deposit that applies towards your total sent through Zelle. There was a big binder of different cat eye gels that the shop offers. I have been getting hard gel nails done for the last 2.5 years. Wow, the service here is amazing and Janisa takes great care of her customers! She blew me away with her technique and attention to detail. Janisa took extra care of my nails. She is so friendly and kind. I love how she paid attention to the small things, like going out of her way to snip a teeny tiny piece of cuticle she missed that others would usually ignore due to how small it is, down to to reshaping my nails and making sure each nail is symmetrical/even, ensuring my apex was perfect, taking extra time with the cat eye magnet technique, and making sure to remove any extra product under the nail/filing down at the end. As someone who pays REALLY close attention to details and is a perfectionist, it was so refreshing to see someone care as much about my nails as I do. I even texted my fiancé in the middle of the service, raving about Janisa's technique. In total with a removal and new set, it took 1.5 hours. I have nothing but great things to say and would recommend you book with Janisa!

    I'm always impressed when my wife gets her nails done by Sally. She's been a client for years, and the results are always stunning. As an observer, I can attest that Sally's attention to detail is truly exceptional--the designs are always flawless and a testament to her skill and artistry. I wish I had photos of her past designs. I'll upload more the next time my wife sees Sally again!

    Gel nails with glitters!!

    Been coming to Sally for many years. This review is WAY overdue! I love her good sense on design and colors. Plus she is really nice to chat with. Always a great experience getting manicure done here. The place is very clean, neat and has a nice and cute waiting area.

    Consistently amazing work! :) Aiko is very detailed and professional! She makes sure that each nail is perfect and let's me try different colors when I can't decide on which one. She's very careful when cleaning the cuticle area and ensures that each nail length is even with the other. Her precision and technique are incredible and she really cares about helping you grow out your nails. Her structured gel lasts 4-6 weeks for me, with no chipping or lifting. Her studio is very clean and intimate.

    I had such a wonderful experience here! They were incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in. Aiko took time and paid great attention to detail, my nails turned out absolutely perfect! I have been there for years. Highly recommend!

    Today was my first appointment with Sally and it was such a great experience! Five minutes in, I already knew I am going to be a repeat customer. I love how careful and meticulous she was. I'm usually hesitant of going to new places bc I somehow end up with at least one finger bleeding due to them cutting me when removing the cuticle. Because of how careful and detailed Sally was, no cut and no bleeding! I had multiple nails that had a tear on the side, she carefully added glue (and it wasn't super glue like other salons!) and filed it down so it seamlessly blended in. Thankfully only one nail needed nail tape and again she did such a good job that you can't tell there is nail tape at all. She was communicative about additional services (ie. nail tape) and got my approval before doing anything. I originally wanted French as my polish but was recommended to cut my nails short due to how weak they were. With her recommendation ended up with great cat eye color that compliments my skin tone. I can't stop looking at my nails!

    I reached out to Sally through yelp to schedule an appointment for a cat eye gel manicure. She was very quick with her responses and extremely helpful. The day of the appointment she made sure to update me on her availability, and let me know that if I wanted to stop by earlier, she would be free to start my appointment at an earlier time. The entire appointment went by very smoothly. This was my first time having cat eye gel nails done, so she was so kind to allow me to try on different colors until we found one that I liked. Overall, I had a great experience with Sally and look forward to coming back again.

    My favorite nail spa in Bay Area!! Super high skill, careful, efficient and always give me the exact result I want!!!

    I loooove my neutrals

    I've been in search of a nail tech who specializes in the popular cat eye gel and luckily, I found Sally who's super close to where I live - Once entering, she was already so welcoming and friendly towards me and made me feel comfortable in her presence. She takes her time and her work represents thorough quality. From the nail filing/nail shaping, she got it down to the tea! My nails looked so good after! I'm so in love with the result. Definitely rebooking with her!

    Review 4.5/5! If you are looking for a nail technician who prioritize your wants and creative…read moredetail, Vicky at TikTok Lounge is a standout choice. She has built a reputation for being meticulous, especially when it comes to shaping and intricate nail art. Many clients here note that her work holds up exceptionally well. Sets often last 3+ weeks without lifting or chipping, which speaks to her preparation and application technique so I had to come for myself. And after 3 weeks, I can write this review in confidence. They have been holding up super well. Because she is so thorough, she may take a bit longer than a standard service even without the nail arts. It's best to visit when you aren't in a rush so she can focus on the quality of the set. The place is like any other nail salon but very spacious with high ceiling and big windows. 2nd visit: I came back for a pedicure with Rose recently, also very detailed and thorough. Had a great experience with her. Maybe the blue color I chose was still good but my sister, who got the classic white pedicure, said her paint already chipped by the she got home from work that night. The top coat wasn't holding up well. There was a new employee that day so I give them grace but she was not professional and need to be trained with the same TikTok lounge skills & manners! Overall still a good nail salon to go to.

The first time I waited over an hour past my appointment time, which I find unacceptable. Henry is my nail tech and he's personable, and executes exactly what I want. I chose Kim this time because Henry's on vacation and I was unhappy with my nails. Her work was sloppy; she left streaks on my nails and didn't paint it fully. I called over the phone and they were more than happy to fix it. However, it's a huge inconvenience having to come back. Service definitely needs work. EDIT: The customer service team responded and said I probably walked in on a busy day. I clearly stated I had an appointment every time. They always accommodate walk ins even when appointments are booked. This is clearly the salons problem yet they try to blame the customer.

I do not think they keep track of appointments and, if they do, I simply cannot imagine how. I have tried texting and the response I get every time is "ok", even if I ask a question in my appointment request. I've tried making an appointment online and the appointment slots are always available and open, which can't be true. While in the salon, I've seen them answer the phone when someone calls to make an appointment, they are always on speakerphone, and I have never seen anyone write anything down after the phone call, they say ok and then just continue to work. Out of the 5 or 6 times I've been here I have only been seen at the time of my appointment once. Once! I am often waiting 30-45 mins and I stay because I have a very tight schedule and make appointments on the only days I can. I'm currently sitting waiting for my 5:00 appointment and it is 5:40 and there are 5 others also waiting, though I don't know what time their appointments are or were. (At 5:06 my manicurist asked me to wait 15 mins and I said fine....but I ended up leaving at 5:45 because she was doing someone's pedicure.) I have always been happy with the services I've received here and their prices are reasonable, which are the reasons for the 2 stars, but I simply will not be back due to their constant lack of respect of "appointment times".
