I had such an amazing first experience at DEP Beauty Lounge! I came in with a concept for my nails,…read moregave it to Mia, and she absolutely RAN with it. She took what I had in my head, added her own creativity, and collaborated with me so easily throughout the entire process. I couldn't be happier with how they turned out. Mia was also so easy to talk to. We spent the appointment chatting about life, her passions, and her goals of becoming a medical assistant. It genuinely felt like hanging out and getting to know someone while she casually made my nails look incredible. Nina did my pedicure and was wonderful too! Normally I'm the type who has to match my toes to my hands, but since this was my first time at DEP, I kept it simple and just got a little taste of what they could do. After this experience, though, next time we're going all in on both. While I was there, Anna, the owner, also took the time to introduce herself and tell us about the many different services they offer. That little interaction really added to the experience. The whole salon felt welcoming, personable, and like they genuinely care about building relationships with their clients. 10/10 experience. I'd tell everyone to book with Mia and Nina... except I also need them to have availability when I call. JK -- FILL THEIR BOOKS! They deserve it.

Treat yourself! I booked an appointment for my birthday set…read moreand wanted to find a salon near me that I could Commit to. I had a previous gel x set that I wanted gone & they removed it right away. My inspo was chrome French tips with a bow charm - simple and elegant. I loved the prep work done for my nails. A lot of places will do the bare minimum to maximize the number of clients but girl took her time, asked me if the shape was right, adjusted accordingly - COMMUNICATION 1000/10. The vibe was so chill and I left feeling so happy with my birthday set. One of the things that I appreciated was that she was super transparent about the price ahead of time when I showed her my nail inspo. We adjusted as the design and color came through. Overall: 10/10 treat yourself when you can I would def come back & ask for Kaddy!

I didn't have an appointment but went to Kitchen Nail Bar on a whim because it's boiling hot, they have great service (and AC) and can fit me in. Despite being crazy busy Tulip was able to see me and boy am I glad she did! She was so incredibly thorough, taking great care and even having fun with the cat eye (can you see the cross design on the big toe? I'm a terrible TERRIBLE photographer) and then did a complimentary powder to give a real disco glow. Ridiculous on my old lady feet, most certainly. Incredibly fun and deeply appreciated, also yes. I have now been soaked, oiled, massaged and pampered until I'm so relaxed I'm uncertain I can effectively drive home. My toes look chubby and moisturized and distinctly human. Tulip gets it. She really took her time, got my vibe and gave me a fantastic experience. Another win.

Really bad manicure, and wouldn't recommend. I saw the good reviews and had positive/okay…read moreexperiences with their Sunnyvale location, so I figured this would be similar in quality, but I was wrong. The nail tech seemed rushed and aggressive when filing my nails, grabbing my hands/flipping them over roughly, etc. At one point, she began filing hard and fast so suddenly that I had to yank my hand back because it hurt. She damaged my actual nails underneath the builder gel and left a lot of residue around my nails like you can see in the photos. She also kept using equipment like the nail file drill tips from a box labeled, "soiled," which made me uncomfortable. At the end, I didn't bother asking her to correct it as I had an event to go to right after, but would definitely not come back here. Pros: - Appt started on time - Checkin process was smooth, and front desk person was professional - Pleasant ambience

Helen, Nina and Thania do my nails, and they are both fantastic. They pay so much attention to detail, never rush, and always make sure everything looks perfect. My nails always turn out beautiful and last for weeks. One of the things I love most is that they offer so much more than nails. I've also had massages there, and they're wonderful. They also do hair coloring and styling, so it's easy to take care of everything in one place. What really keeps me coming back is the people. They genuinely care about their clients and always make me feel comfortable and appreciated. It's hard to find a salon that's this consistent, and I highly recommend Beautiful Moon Salon.

Very disappointing experience. I would not recommend this place…read more I chose a service that was advertised at $65, but by the end I was charged over $100 because of multiple extra charges. I was charged extra for things like cutting my nails and applying the nail color, which I was not clearly informed about beforehand. When I asked the woman for an explanation of the additional charges, instead of calmly explaining the pricing, she became upset with me. Customers have every right to know what they are being charged for before agreeing to additional services. On top of that, the nails were not done well, and after paying over $100, I was still expected to leave a tip. I don't mind paying for a good service, but I do not appreciate feeling like I am being charged extra for every little thing without being clearly informed. I would not recommend this nail spa. I feel the pricing and the way the situation was handled were very disappointing, and unfortunately I left feeling taken advantage of rather than satisfied with the service.

I got a powder dip and I appreciated that she really took her time to do my nails when I feel like a lot of people rush these days.
