    Nail

    My 5 starts are for Danny's work! I went in explaining how other salons don't listen when I specifically ask for a certain shape but he delivered amazing results. I really loved my nails.

    $50 for my gel nails $55 for my friend's acrylic full set worth every penny for how thorough our nail techs were. thank you Chị Uyên for such attention to detail to my cuticles and nail shaping there were only 2 nail techs working today and they were trying their best to take in all walk-in customers including us-- at one point they were working on up to 5 clients so i'm pretty impressed at how they adapted to an employee calling in sick. clean and well-lit bathroom but there were no paper towels in there so i needed to dry my hands with one of their cloth towels

    Last minute thing. I visited the area and had a lot of time on my hand. I got gel manicure and regular pedicure. Good quality work and relaxing vibe and fair prices. I would go there again and recommend this place. Loved the foot and hand massage!

    Every time I get my nails done at blue nails. I'm always happy and satisfied. Danny and everyone always make sure that I'm satisfied with my nails and experience. Everyone is always nice and welcoming. every time I show them what nails and color and design I want they always make it happen. thank you everyone at blue nails!

    Beautifully designed by blue nails  they gave me exactly what I wanted no alternations. Definitely going back!

    Excellent customer service and excellent service! I showed them a photo of what I wanted and they understood assignment with no problems or questions asked! Perfection is their signature.

    Menu of services - more expensive than advertised online.

    The staff are VERY nice and the salon is clean. Seriously- the staff are really very nice. Sadly, kindness doesn't replace skill and attention to detail. The cuticle and polish job shown in the pictures speak for themselves. Also, they up charge for the very basics (e.g. callus removal- without paying more it's just a few strokes with the pumice stone- although it varies by staff- I sat next to someone who had at least some callus removal done). Furthermore, advertised prices online aren't accurate. The price list is available by scan code once in the shop. So, I dropped $65 (mani/pedi) and will be spending even more time removing all of the gel polish on my own, filing down my cuticles so that they're smooth, pumicing my own feet, sanding down my own calluses, and repainting my own nails. While I waited for uneven layers of my nails to air dry (no fans), I watched someone come in a 10 minutes before close) and had a better result than mine. That was hard to accept... The mani was okay - I didn't want polish, and they didn't buff, so - again - more DIY. I called in advance, came in with flip flops, all of my nails were clean and bare, and I paid in cash. I even brought my own polish (but liked one of their colors more). I was polite and courteous (I wasn't on my phone. I really hope that they use their friendly kindness to create a better and more consistent (and professional looking) result for all of their patrons. My expectations from a nail salon are: 1 - I'll be able to use the features of the chair (e.g. sitting upright, using the features of the chair). Even though I tried to adjust the chair and asked for help, the nail tech didn't understand me, and kept inviting me to scan the QR code for the menu of services. I gave up and stuck my purse behind my back to help me sit upright. 2 - The basic pedicure/manicure includes the basics - full polish removal (although I came in with clean nails), cuticle removal and smoothing, a good effort at exfoliation on my feet, heels, and toes/corns, I'll tolerate the: "massage" (which is usually just a slathering of stinky lotion; I'd much rather more exfoliation), filing nails into a uniform and flattering shape, smoothing of skin, a base coat, 2-3 even and professional looking coats of nail polish, a top coat, and for my nails to be dry enough to drive before leaving. I expect my nails to look as if they were professionally done. 3 - if there are two armrests, and my manicure is happening at the same time as my pedicure, I expect the manicurist to switch sides instead of asking me to stretch my arm to the other side. Like me, many women my age have frozen shoulder - so it's painful to sustain that stretched position. Again, I explained, but was nodded at.

    Loved their work as a first time goer and will definitely be going again!! They did a very good job and worked very fast and were able to work with the photos I showed as inspo!

    Thank you gift (lotion)

    Blue nails is amazing! This is the second time I get my nails done here and let me tell you, they don't cease to satisfy you. Their attention to detail without the attitude is phenomenal! In addition to taking the time to educate their clients on nail health is really appreciated. Oh and I almost forgot, they have a top of the line warm mist treatment to go with your pedicure, take a look at the video and pictures I posted to see it in action! If you're tired of changing nail salons because they fall short of your expectations , look no further give Blue nails a try and I guarantee you won't be disappointed! Thank you so much for my Thank you gift!!! Pedicure mist treatment A pedicure leg mist treatment is a refreshing and revitalizing step often included in a pedicure service to soothe and invigorate tired legs and feet. Here's how a typical pedicure leg mist treatment works and its benefits: 1. Refreshing and cooling Leg mist sprays often contain ingredients like menthol, peppermint oil, and eucalyptus oil, which provide a cooling and tingling sensation to tired feet and legs. This cooling effect helps to alleviate fatigue and swelling, especially after long periods of standing or wearing tight shoes. 2. Hydrating and soothing Formulated with moisturizing ingredients like aloe vera and natural botanicals, leg mists can help prevent dryness, irritation, and cracking of the skin on the legs and feet. In essence, a pedicure leg mist treatment provides a quick and effective way to refresh, soothe, and deodorize tired legs and feet, leaving them feeling revitalized and pampered.

    Do you do gel X or a builder gel?

    Currently we do not have tools to make gel x and builder gel. Maybe in the future we will. Now we just do acrylic nails.

    A Truly Exceptional Nail Salon - Rie & Peter Are a Must!…read more This was my first time coming here, and I'm honestly so impressed that I need everyone to know about this place. The moment I walked in, the whole atmosphere felt warm, welcoming, and full of good vibes. It's rare to find a salon where you instantly feel comfortable, but this one truly feels like a place that cares. I had Rie for my hands and Peter for my pedicure, and both of them exceeded every expectation I had. Rie - Hands/Nails Rie was absolutely amazing. She spent real time talking to me about my nails--my habits, what I struggle with, what I prefer--so she could help me care for my nails long-term, not just for the day. That alone stood out to me. Her technique is incredibly gentle, precise, and detail-oriented. Nothing felt rushed. She paid close attention to shape, length, and symmetry, and made sure I loved each step before moving on. One thing I really appreciated: the tips she put on feel like my real nails. No heaviness, no bulkiness, no thick edges. They feel light, natural, and perfectly blended. I actually kept touching them because I couldn't believe how natural they felt. It's the best and cleanest application I've ever had. Peter - Pedicure Peter was just as impressive. He was: * Extremely thorough with calluses and cuticles * Gentle but effective * Very attentive and made sure I was comfortable the whole time My feet feel soft, refreshed, and genuinely cared for--not rushed through like at most places. The polish application and massage were perfect. Overall Experience The biggest difference here is that they truly take their time. Not one moment felt rushed or overlooked. Everything was done with intention, patience, and care. The overall vibe was: * Easy-going * Relaxing * Warm * Detail-focused I walked out feeling pampered, valued, and honestly amazed at how beautiful and natural everything looked. Would I Recommend Them? Absolutely YES. If you want: * Natural-feeling tips that look and feel like real nails * A nail tech who genuinely cares about the health of your nails (ask for Rie!) * A pedicure that's detailed, gentle, and leaves your feet baby-soft (ask for Peter!) * A salon with amazing energy and zero rushing Then this is the place you need to go. I'm already planning my next appointment.

I needed a pedicure done so bad and given their yelp review I trusted this place. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed walking out of here. I posted a final photo of the work done on my toes as you can see how messy and and honestly just not good work at all. The person who did my nails was a male Vietnamese guy. Honestly, I was so annoyed by the end of it because he was cleaning the sides of my nails and since he was so busy talking literally cut my skin cause he was using the tool and looking behind him while talking to everyone else. I also had to ask him to clean the sides of my nails just so its not filled with skin that he had already cut up. So when he applied the nail polish I waited to see what else he was going to do because I can see how messy it was. Once it was dry the picture below was the result of this mediocre work. I think they're only good for their manicure which I haven't tried but it appears that's majority of their photos on their yelp.

He did apologized and explained I can go back without charge to get my nails redone by Helen who has better experience. In the middle of my response, he cut me off and said "I don't have time, you can come back or book. Have a good day". The customer service here is so bad. The comment was just to make them look better on Yelp. Please look at other people's reviews before deciding to come here! This is the first time I'm giving 1star review. I don't normally give reviews lower than 4 stars, but I'm really disappointed since I paid $120 for a manicure and pedicure that I didn't like. The pedicure was fine since it was just plain white polish. The reason I'm upset is because the lady who worked on my manicure seemed to have an attitude after I asked her to trim the acrylic shorter. I understand misunderstandings can happen, possibly due to a language barrier, but I clearly explained at the beginning that I wanted short almond nails. As a customer, I didn't appreciate feeling like my request was an inconvenience. She even said it's harder to work on short nails. It's frustrating to pay $70 for nails that I'm planning to remove the next day and pay another salon to redo. I still tipped her though I wasn't happy. I also blame myself for not reading the reviews beforehand since there are already a good amount of negative reviews. I'm getting married on Sunday, so things have been hectic, and this was one of the only salons near me that was open late. I really wanted to like this place because the late hours are convenient. * Some nails are crooked

For my first appointment, I booked for the next day and wasn't sure if it was going through, so now I just DM her directly to check in. Super easy once you know the flow. Sam herself is super sweet and easy to talk to. She recently went solo with her business, so it's just her now--and honestly, I love that.
