    This thumb is my top issue. It's bumpy and airy. Could've been because gel was clumped on.
    Alyssa Z.

    On the hunt for a really good salon in San Jose I'm not sure if this was from the acrylic or gel (see pictures) but it's ugly. This was a refill/fix from another salon I do think it is better from the last one I will be giving them another try for a fresh set, hoping I won't be let down. I did only pay $30 but this isn't professional.

    They are very nice ladies. But the nails 0-10 Big 0 . She did a terrible job,took 2hours my appointment was at 11, it is now 1:28 most ridiculous timing of my life mom you they haven't started on my pedicure yet. She has been stuck on filing and lastly she didn't file underneath. I could of done a better job with Walgreens glue ons.

    My hands got all dry and hard from the acrylic removal process. This has never happened to me before.

    I've never even seen this place before until my coworker told me about it since she found out that it's so close to me. With that being said, I said "why not?" Ever since, I've given this place two chances. The first time, I went with my mom to get manicures- one regular and one acrylic. I was quite satisfied with mine but the employee that did my mom's nails left hers quite messy. My mom nicely asked the lady to fix it and she immediately started talking in her own foreign language to her coworkers. Perhaps talking smack? I think so. From the way everyone started talking AND looking at my mom after, we would only assume so. She didn't even bother fixing it. She just walked away.. After this visit, my mom said she'd probably never come back but since I still liked mine, I told myself I probably would. Because I needed to get my acrylics off for work, today (03/28/2019) I came back to get them off. I had the same lady that helped my mom out last time, hoping for the best. The way she did this was quite interesting to me! She literally just drilled it all off, layers by layers. While drilling off one hand, she had my other hand be soaked in acetone. This was so odd to me because I've had acrylics taken off before and the process usually is just them scraping it off. I was quite upset because after having my hands soaked in acetone about 20 times for 2 mins each, my hands got all hard and sticky. What upset me the most was this was $10! $10 for acrylic removal?! Like I said, I've had my acrylics removed before at a bunch of different nail salons and it was never over $5. I think today was my last visit to AP Nails.

    Came here for my friends birthday pedi and mani morning. We got mimosas and such a wonderful treatment. Hannah did my mani and pedi, she is amazing! They were so professional and everything was very safe and sanitary.

    They left two huge globs of clear powder acrylic on the sides of the bows. When I asked to have them removed the nail pro refused giving a bull crap explanation that it's there to keep the bow on. I've gotten bows from several other places and they've never left it like that. I didn't leave a tip (first doing that EVER) and told them I will not be returning. They charged me $60. Overcharged and underdelivered.

    I've been trying to find another alternative nail salon place to get acrylics done and I think I've found THE ONE. Majority of the places I've gone to are either overpriced or the work just isn't great to me so I was on a hunt yesterday morning for a nail shop. I actually booked my appointment through Yelp and the owner responded really quick. We booked my appointment for Kelly at 2PM. As I arrived, I was seated right away and with complementary water bottle for my visit, which was really nice of them! I had my acrylic nails taken off by Annie. She was very gentle and very sweet. Kelly then took over and got started on my nails and let me tell you, I am so happy with the results and how my nails look! I love the thin coffin shape and I got it done perfectly. The prices here are very reasonable and the customer service is excellent, would definitely recommend coming here! I will be back soon!

    Hello! I went to AP nails spa recently and loved there service the nail technician that did my nails was super nice and helped me with my indecisive self: the salon was tiny but was really calming- the music was relaxing they only accept cash which isn't very convenient or Zelle. My overall experience was great I would come here again to get my nails done

    Cute salon with cute ladies who made me feel pampered! I originally wanted a pedicure but the ladies there made me feel so relaxed that I WANTED a manicure to feel even more relaxed. The color choices are endless and they currently have many shades of metallic or chrome (which is what I was looking for). I thought they took their time, the quality shows. I don't like acrylics so I went with gel because I work with special needs and need it to last LONG. I got the lavender scrub because it was a treat yourself, self care kind of day. I'm glad I walked into this salon, they just so happened to do my sister's lashes the week previous which came out very natural and neat looking. I feel it's important for them to look natural and not like spider legs.

    Brought my mom here for a little pampering.. Although she didn't know what to 'expect', i know she enjoyed it cause she went home showing her toes off. However, i must say, it is a little warm in there.

    AP Nails Spa exceeded my expectation and I would highly recommend this place for anyone. As Vietnamese New Year is approaching, I came here to get my done for the festivity. When I first came in the receptionist greeted me with a big smile,showed me all kind of services and made a lot of great recommendation on mix matching nail colors. After that, the lady did my nails and I was amazed with her skill and detail to attention. She took her time to make sure that all the nails were even and all the cuticles were clean. I just got a basic gel, but she really invested in painting my nails as if she is painting an art master piece. They know how to take care of their customers and they truly invested in their work. Overall, the place is clean and new, the workers are friendly and welcoming. I would definitely come back in the future. Although they just open a few months, but they are constantly booked. It is best that you make an appointment before coming.

    AMAZINGGGGGGG. Only words to describe Kelly! I used to have her do my nails at K3 and since they're usually packed I decided to try some place a little closer to my house. OHMYGOD she literally put he sunset on my nails! I have always been one for designs (b/c I like compliments lol) but this set changed my life. Everyone complimented them and I even had people take pictures of them. It lasted soooo long and I only took it off b/c I was going skiing and was scared to break them when I fell I also got a hot store pedicure and loved it as well! Super clean and everyone's really nice and even gave me water! Will definitely be coming back! Thank you Kelly!!

    I came to AP nails to get my pedicure and manicure done. The salon is very clean. The staffs are very friendly and professional. They did great jobs with my nails and my feet. I got the Linlin pedicure with fresh orange and honey, deeply clean my feet with calus remover, long ger massage with hot stone. My feet are very clean and fresh. My gel french manicure come out really pretty. They also serve drink like orange juice, mimosa( they are free). I love to come there. Thank you! I will be back!

    Being a little hesitant when it comes to new nail salons nowadays since ones I've gone to for a…read morewhile start going down hill. However, Eclipse Nail Bar exceeded my expectations and more. From booking a last minute same day appointment to the entire experience. Nothing but positive things to say all around! The person who answered the phone was very helpful and accommodating! He warmed me that it does get busy after work and was able to book me the appointment no problems! Upon arriving, I was able to check in and seated at exactly my appointment time. That was the first green flag for me as I know other places like to overbook and I have to end up waiting for an appointment which was suppose to cut down wait times. Additionally, I really liked how the front desk and the staff that was doing my nails did not push me to get gel where I know other places will really be pushy and try to get more money out of you. Vy was the lady that did my pedicure and i was really impressed with how thorough she was. She definitely did not rush and took her time where I felt so relaxed and not worry whether the nails were going to look bad. At the end, she was able to check in with me to see if I liked it and if needed to fix anything. I paid with card but i didn't have cash for tip but the guy that helped me in the front/on the phone, who actually turned out to be the owner share the tip to ask the workers for their venmo to tip them! Absolutely best service so far in San Jose I've been to! I will be returning!

    Looooove my nails! Cat eye with French + jelly $80…read more I love how when you check in they match you to a stylist based on what you want.
