    So happy with my mani for Sunday
    Shima L.

    Quality manicure. So happy with the attention to detail and polish lasted over 4 days no chip.

    I called if there was appointments available and they said yes I came and requested Gel X the lady who did my nails seemed like she was in a rush to finish quickly the color was ok but the problem came when I looked down my nails it seemed like they had used a lot of glue and it made look unclean and messy and the worst is that I was charge $85 dollars for a messy final result. Please always make sure they are professionals and for sure I won't be back again.

    Less than a week

    Thought I'd give this place another shot, but what a waste of money!! My gel nails didn't last even a week... For the price I pay, I'd expect this to last 2 weeks AT LEAST.. Never again.. I'd rather drive out of my way and give a nail salon my money than go here again..

    This is honestly the best gel manicure I've had to date. Every place I go it's either to thick, or just a horrible paint job. I am picky, I own it, and this place was great and would go again and suggest to friends and family.

    I'm not one to usually leave reviews but Aqua gives the best gel manicure in Burlingame (and for a fair price). I've had a different nail technician just about every time I've gone in and each one was as precise and kind as the last. I'm someone who will chip a regular mani in less than 4 days so I always get gel and the gel manicures at Aqua ALWAYS last at least 3 if not 4 weeks on me without chipping or peeling!For reference I got my nails done a little less than 4 weeks ago and this is what they look like now!

    I wanted to try another nail salon in the Downtown Burlingame area and found this place through Yelp. After reading the positive reviews, I wanted to come in and see it for myself. I am a fan of these massage chair/pedicure water basin stations and I wanted to try the Spa Pedicure for $25. I lounged for a good 20 minutes while the pulsing water jets calmed my feet. Wei attended to my feet and she was gentle. She scrubbed, massaged with oil and lotion, not only my feet but my legs, too and then applied two hot towels on them when she was finished. You also get a no frills back and bottom massage via massage chair. Love it. She even cleaned up the streaks of polish around my nails with a thin brush with nail polish remover and that's actually the very first time someone did this; instead of removing the polish with their long fingernails after a line of polish is stranded in the side of the nail meets the side of the toe. Ladies, you know what I'm talking about. LOL That usually is the dealbreaker and she passed with flying colors! The place is very clean, well lighted and organized. They have a wall rack full of OPI, Essie and China Glaze nail polish to choose from. They even have a nail drying station (for both manicure and pedicure customers for the post-service). They turn on automatically and has a sensor motion. Freakin' cool! ;o) When it was time to bounce, Wei came over and sprayed the nail dry on my feet and I was ready to go! Sweet. I give Aqua Nail Salon four (4) stars, I'm a fan.

    My shellac manicure PEELING 48 hours after getting it done!!!!! (SAD!!!!!!!)
    Rie P.

    I hate giving this place a 1 star review... BUT I have no choice! After seeing positive reviews here on Yelp, my friend and I decided to come visit this salon. This review is 100% for my experience with the shellac french manicure that I had done here on Sunday May 13th, 2012. As everyone states in the reviews, the girls who work here are pleasant and very quiet. They are not like most nail salons where the girls are speaking in Vietnamese to each other and laughing hysterically. In that sense~ it was nice and relaxing. The girl working at the front reception area was very nice and sweet as well. Unfortunately, that is all with the positive comments. 24 hours after my shellac manicure, the polish started to lift / peel. 48 hours after the service, PLEASE SEE THE PICTURE I've added to this page. :( It really speaks for itself!! They used Gelish Shellac polish on me. According to the Gelish website it states: "Gelish stays on nails for three weeks with NO chipping or peeling, and soak completely off in only 15 minutes." Again-- please see the picture I attached. This was 48 hours after I got my nails done. Not 1 week... 2 weeks or 3 weeks later. 2 full days later... and ALREADY PEELING!!?!? $30 USD for a Shellac manicure isn't bad, but it was VERY expensive considering it lasted ONLY 2 days AND I had to go to another nail salon to get the shellac removed and redone. The girl I usually go to at another salon in Fremont stated that the original job done was poor. The cuticles were not cut well. The nails were filed crooked and the shellac was just peeling...... Maybe I was just one that got very unlucky on an off day but I had to share my end result of my nails since... well it simply sucked.

I was asked if my foot bath water was warm enough, and also if I needed a water to drink during my treatment. Their spa chairs have a relaxing massage feature which I took advantage of. I also noticed that all of the nail techs were speaking in English with one another. Candy did an excellent job on my pedicure. She was extremely gentle and very thorough with her painting technique. The spa pedicure comes with a complimentary sugar scrub, paraffin foot wax, and quick hot stone treatment. My toes came out beautiful! Lyly did an incredible job on my hard gel fill. Honestly it was one of the best, if not the best, manicure I've had in a very long time. We noted that the builder gel from my previous service (not from here) was too thick, and she took the time to make sure that didn't happen today. She was meticulous with making sure my nails were the shape I desired as well as matching on both sides. She was very friendly to chat with. Nail services aren't cheap these days, so it's nice to know you're getting the best of the best here for your hard earned money. I highly recommend Candy & Lyly for your nail techs. Love this place!

The location is right off of Burlingame ave, there is street, metered parking all around unless you park on a Sunday, then parking is free! The ambiance is nice, their pedicure chairs have to be my favorite. I've never been in a more comfortable chair that feels and looks luxurious. For a regular gel pedicure, they charge $55 which included a hot stone massage. The lady who did my toes, confirmed if the shape looked good and was patient when I was a little indecisive with which color to go with, which I appreciated. My toes came out great, so much better than what I walked in with! Definitely worth it, if you're looking for a nail salon that offers a relaxing pedicure experience in Burlingame.

    I came in as a walk-in for a gel manicure because this salon looked promising. What I experienced…read moreinstead was painful and honestly upsetting. I was initially seated with one nail tech, I believe his name was Leo, who randomly decided someone else would take over. He didn't go help another client--he just stopped working on me and passed me off, which already felt unprofessional since he sat down few seats down from us just chatting. The second nail tech, Tina, was extremely rough from the start. I had to pull my hand back and say "ow" multiple times. She filed aggressively without checking length or shape and repeatedly filed my actual skin. Halfway through, my fingers were burning. She wasn't wearing gloves so as she was cleaning the polish up, she was using her nails that didn't look clean to dig up my skin and polish. 2nd, The color wasn't what I asked for, but I agreed to it anyway because she kept showing me options that weren't even close to what I requested. I was trying to be respectful and not cause a problem and just settled for this color. Furthermore, the polish application was a mess. She constantly repainted and removed polish on every nail using a buffer, nail file, and even a paper towel. I've never seen nail polish removed that way.. weird. The final result was bumpy, uneven, and sloppy, with polish all over my skin. By the end, both of my thumbs were swollen and slightly bleeding. Instead of stopping, she kept filing my skin and drilling around the sides, making the pain worse. I stayed patient thinking that she'll clean it up properly, but I realized this was truly her final work. At this point, I let her finish and asked for her manager. When I asked to speak to the manager, the nail tech became defensive and started yelling in her own language. I didn't cause a scene and I wasn't rude, but the change in tone was obvious and made me so uncomfortable that I started crying. The manager offered and gave store credit, but that doesn't change the fact that my skin flesh has been filed down multiple times and I left in pain. I walked out with injured fingers and nails that looked extremely sloppy. Please listen to the bad reviews. I'm not sure how this place has a 4-star rating. A nail appointment should never end in pain, and tears. I will never return and wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.
