    Helen always does a fantastic job!!!!!!!
    Tina W.

    I've been going here for years, and i've never had a problem with my nails. I love the atmosphere, and they are so friendly.

    Love this design!
    Natalie M.

    I loved this place! They do creative designs and I loved how long my nails lasted, while still looking very good. Helen did my design and was able to flawlessly make suggestions for the pattern. The staff are kind. Please note you have to make a $25 deposit but you can use that towards your service. A simple pattern is 50$ and more complex is 60$ for gel manicures. They offer massages too. I was very satisfied with the services.

    Got my Coachella nails done today! So fun!

    My go to place for all fun nail designs! Love the attention to detail to get to the perfect result!

    I meant to say, yes it is appointment only - not walk in. But if you call, it's pretty easy to get an appointment booked.

    Gel manicure -$43

    I did a walk in for gel nails and I was serviced in an instant! Pros: the gentleman with long hair was very patient with my gel nails service. Quick when you come for a walk in. Cons: No cons yet but I did see a fee of $20 if you are a no show for your appointments. They has their masks on, and the service tables had the plastic barrier for customer and technicians protection. I paid $50 for gel nails and tip. Gel nails included a nice hand massage and wipe off with a hot towel.

    I usually have mediocre experiences at nail salons and I have yet to find one that I am 100% in love with. However, Fabulous VIP Nails comes very close. I was able to easily make an appointment over the phone for the next day and reserved my spot by sending a $25 deposit via Venmo. I shared my inspiration pic and Helen was able to recreate the design beautifully! I still have PTSD from a previously botched nail design done at another nail salon so I was watching Helen carefully but her great attention to detail put me at ease. I especially appreciated how she would keep checking the designs to make sure they looked the same on each opposite finger. The only hiccup was when I got a small cut on my pinky finger during the filing process. Usually this alone would make me not want to come back HOWEVER I was very impressed by the way Helen remedied the cut -she wiped it clean and put nail glue over it to seal it so it didn't hurt for the remainder of the appointment. I was really pleased with how the design came out so I will definitely come back again!

    Acrylic Nails - $68 plus 8 dollar design for both hands
    Dijia W.

    This was my first time getting acrylics and a pedicure! I had a truly wonderful time getting my graduation nails. Helen did this beautiful set of nails and guided me through her expertise on what color, shape and it's resemblance to the picture I showed her. During my whole set, she always checked up with me if I liked the shape and color. You will feel heard and treated like a person when you are with her. Talking to her brought me so much joy and as a student, you can tell how wise and knowledgeable she is. I learned more lifelong lessons than ever! Why would you not want to get your nails done here? She is understanding, kind, genuine, experienced, wise, detail-oriented and so so lovely! The pedicures were great too!! Helen's brother did my toenails and he was able to cover up my bruised toe. He was attentive and caring about your needs, and made sure you felt comfortable. Great job!! READ - There is a $25 deposit in the beginning when you make an appointment. Please do not let this hinder your decision because it was so worth it to me. As a student, I was a bit hesitant at first but quickly came to see the perspective of her family business. With her talent and skills crafted over many years, people do not respect businesses for their time and efforts. Some customers call last minute and just say, "I can't make it," try to understand their frustration... Regardless, the $25 payment goes to the final bill for your nails and you have 3 hours beforehand to cancel your appointment. Overall, everyone there had a great vibe and went above and beyond my expectations! Please come by one day

    Perfection, always on time, respectful, great colors and quality of work. Helen would work on my acrylics in a flawless matter :))))

    Overall good service! I walked in and didn't have to wait. Just had a solid color gel manicure and it looks good. The only thing I would complain about is that my cuticle got cut a little (bled) during the manicure. Other than that I think this is a good place to get basic manicures.

    A bit messier than I had expected. Wished there was more attention to detail given the price and raving reviews.

    Ask the Community - Fabulous VIP Nails

    How much is a regular pedicure and regular manicure?

    Regular pedicures cost 35 dollars for when I went.

    Was justing wondering what the price is for an acrylic fill with gel polish?

    $55 pre tip

    Is there a number that i can text for appointment?

    I recommend calling as texting is sometimes missed. But try texting their appointment number @ +1 (650) 347-9490

    Do you do dip powder here?

    I just called and was told they do not do powder dip. But some reviews say they do, so I am confused.

    How much for a gel full set?

    Hi Jeanine we charge $55 up for gel full set.thanks

    How much is a gel mani and a reg pedi?

    $65 thanks

    Hello! I am trying to call the phone number to make an appointment but it's not working. Did you change the phone number or is there another way to make an appointment?

    Is the dip powder only for acrylic nails or can it be used on natural nails?

    They can be done on natural nails. The length will just depend on your natural length 💜

    Do you offer acrylic/powder toenails services?

    Yes we do more information call at the phone number 650-347-9490

    How much is acrylics & how long does it usually take?

    My acrylics here are around $50 more or less depending if I am doing a pink and white ombré or not. Helen gets me done in 45 mins or less! I'm always surprised and a fan of her speed and attention to symmetry and beauty.

    Do they do "Powder Dip" nails? Been wanting to try that out!

    Yes ma'am! $45 and flawless

I found Linda on Yelp, loved her work, called the salon, and she just happened to be available that same day -- which already felt like fate. And of COURSE... before driving there, I tried swatting a fly on my porch (don't ask ) and somehow broke my thumbnail literally in half. By the time I arrived, I was anxious, embarrassed, and fully preparing myself for pain and disappointment. But Linda immediately made me feel comfortable. If you're someone who gets nervous walking into a new establishment -- whether it's a salon, restaurant, or even a medical office -- you know how important energy and kindness are. Linda greeted me so warmly, reassured me instantly, and handled my broken nail SO carefully that I barely felt discomfort. I genuinely thought my nail was doomed, but she saved it beautifully. The whole appointment honestly felt like hanging out with a friend while getting your nails done. We spent the visit talking, laughing, and getting to know each other. She shared stories about her salon and her team, and you can genuinely tell these are hardworking, humble people who truly care about what they do. That part especially stuck with me. I've always been a neutral nail girlie, but Linda started showing me different styles and ideas that actually got me excited to branch out and try new things again. That's the kind of nail tech you want -- someone who not only does beautiful work, but inspires confidence and makes the experience feel fun and safe. Finding a new nail tech after years with the same person can honestly feel weirdly emotional lol, but I left feeling SO relieved and happy that I found her. Safe to say... I found my Bay Area nail girl

With so many better options nearby, I won't be returning.

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.

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!

He was polite, quiet, and gentle with my nails, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the removal technique was not a great experience. My fingers were placed in a tub of acetone and I was told it would be about 5 minutes, but it ended up being about 10. My fingertips became very dry and pruney. In my past experiences, other nail techs typically use acetone-soaked cotton applied directly to my nail and wrapped with foil, which better protects the skin. After the removal, I was asked to wash my hands and was told the service was done. However, I noticed gel residue left on my skin and some still on my nails. When I mentioned it, I was told "no worries, it'll come off in the shower". Well it felt uncomfortable for me! The remaining gel was only wiped after I requested it, and there is still visible residue. For the hour that he spent removing it off, it definitely was not worth the price at all. I've had many Gel-X removals before and they were usually much cleaner and more efficient and cheaper priced ($15) and took only 30 mins. Giving 2 stars because Martin was kind, but I wasn't satisfied with the overall result.
