Went in for a fill, they finished in 25min, very fast. Should've known it was too good to be true. My nails are lifting 3 days later just from the part where the new acrylic was placed. One nail already popped off completely.

Toenail murdered
Sweet Stephany R.

I got my nails done last week Thursday July 20, 2023. It's been 1 week and my toenail look like this. It's painful and it's my 2nd time to come to this nails salon. After my nails got clean and done I feel a little pain on my right toenail and I thought it will heal right away but not. I didn't know it will become worst like this!

Had a great experience getting a gel mani here. I walked in around 10:30 on a Saturday and they had a couple customers already. I wasn't sure if they'd be able to squeeze me in since they looked busy, but they asked me to pick a color and then sit at one of the stations. Within minutes, someone came over (I didn't get her name unfortunately) and started working on my nails. I don't get manis very often, and especially not gel, but I was impressed at the efficiency and quality of her work. I left around 11:30 as a happy customer! Unfortunately they don't have a list of their services and prices, but I asked about some basic ones. Most gel manis cost $25 (though some premium colors are $30). It's $5 to remove the gel mani, unless you get another one, in which case it's free. A regular mani/pedi costs $28. Very affordable!

Peep the pink gel manicure

Return visit 3/13/2020 it was all pleasant until I showed a $5 off coupon from the San Mateo County Healthy Nails Program. Found this nail salon on an ad for county of San Mateo healthy nails. The salon does not use chemicals that irritate the respiratory system. Drop in appointment for gel manicure & was so happy with the work! Will definitely return

Needed a French manicure
Gloria O.

Needed a French mani and was taken on a slow morning so that worked for me. Clean instruments used on me. Nice staff, friendly and eager to offer a pedicure but I was in a rush. Would recommend calling to be sure chairs open. Parking a bit of a hassle but overall nice natural look and $35

Messy and poorly done
Ada L.

Came in as an emergency, needed a fill before a work trip and my regular tech (at another shop) was overbooked. Staying at my I laws for personal reasons, I chose a place close to their home. Called earlier in the day and scheduled an appointment. Got there on time, I waited about 5 min, not bad. The nail tech was nice in greeting me, didn't catch her name but one of the older ladies there. Made small talk and then she started my fill. It took forever! She was so slow and spent the first half of my appointment looking over to the lady next to her and seeing what she was doing. It also hurt when she would hold my fingers due to her long nails, they kept digging into me! When she filed my nails she kept filing my skin and it hurt. I didn't complain because I was already in the middle of the procedure and already took the loss in my head. The cherry on top was the horrible gel polish job she did. Messy and poorly done. Not planning on ever coming back. Enter at your own risk!

My new favorite nail salon! This is my second time going to this salon- I refused to go to Classy Nails at the mall. I had a fill from Tank and she may be my go to artist :)

Fresh full set
Veronica N.

Jasmine did my acrylic full set 2 and half weeks ago and my nails still look good! She took her time filing each nail and asked me multiple times if I liked the shape, or if I wanted them filed more. I'm really particular about my nails, I hate thick and wide nails. I'll be going here as long as Jasmine is here for sure! Two pics attached, first one is day of, second pic is almost 3 weeks later and they still look good.

Had a classic manicure for $15 and gel removal was an additional $5 plus tip. A little disappointed that each coat was not allowed to dry enough which caused some air bubbles and bumps in the nail polish making it one thick layer. However, the lady there was thorough with cleaning my cuticles which is why I'm still giving 3 stars.

One of the younger mail techs did my full set acrylics and it's the best manicure I've had in the Bay Area so far. I live in the east bay and was here with my partner so he could go to the casino(not my cup o tea) so got my nails done on a whim! Absolutely great service and a beautiful manicure

Brenda R.

I came in at about 4:30 on a Tuesday and it was pretty empty. There was only one person getting a pedicure. They attended me right away and sat me down. My gel manicure was $30 it was a really fair price. I loved how it came out , the nail tech named Jasmine was so kind and she did such a great job. She also fixed a broken nail I had at no charge, that was so nice of her. I will definitely be coming back. Tip: if you can't find parking in front, there is a parking lot in the back, behind Bank of America!

NORILY F.

So disappointed today! It took me a while to grow my own nails and the lady that did my nails just keep filing it short and uneven. I told her that it's uneven and she said no and defensive. The conversation between co workers are tooooo loud.

Nail smeared
Maria-Elena D.

Not happy with service . Mean girls wish they were more friendly. My nails are smeared and not very well done

TLDR: Avoid this place!…read more I came to Sunny twice - once to get my nails done and then weeks later to get the hard gel removed. Both times I had a negative experience. I only returned the 2nd time because Sunny made a big fuss about how other nail techs don't know how to take off products carefully but she does....boy was she WRONG. Sunny is unfriendly, rude, judgemental, and likes to argue. She has been late both times to my appointments as well. I got tip extensions because I wanted a little length. She expected me to have my nails super long but I asked her to cut a lot shorter and she got mad and proceeded to argue with me. I asked her to remove the tips so I can leave, because I don't want her doing what she's not comfortable with and I don't want to get something I didn't ask for. She refused and kept arguing and then ultimately said she would do what I asked for (I sent pictures beforehand, asked questions, and she accepted my request and scheduled me). She assumed I wanted an almond shape but I told her I wanted square, and she got annoyed and mentioned most of her clients prefer almond. She's pretty rough on the hands and nails, and doesn't carefully file the nails. She charges extra for a manicure, but she literally spent a couple minutes "cleaning" my cuticles. When it came to the design, she complained about how she doesn't do "American style" and only does Asian style...and how she usually doesn't do custom nails for first-time clients. Why book me knowing what I asked for and then proceed to complain the entire time? This was the sh*ttiest nail experience. She painted my nails pretty sloppily and then complained how it took her so long to do my nails. In the end, she started rushing because she was running behind and her next appt was already waiting (she yelled at them to wait outside and stop knocking). I returned to Sunny to remove the hard gel because she knows what products she uses and repeatedly has stated in the past that she knows how to do this carefully. My natural nails had grown longer and I wanted to keep the length but they were so brittle by the end she just cut it off and then shaped it round...barely asking and confirming. She doesn't use clean or sanitized tools...and she reuses the same nail filer with all clients. She did such an awful job filing off the hard gel and got too much of my natural nails ans even left scratches and dents in my nailbed. My nails were SO sensitive and are still sensitive (writing this weeks later). When she got down to the tips, she just flicked them off with her fingers and it ended up ripping off and further damaging my nailbeds. I had to trim my nails when I got home because the new growth was so flimsy and weak. I continue to trim my nails bc my entire nail bed is overfilrd amd messed up. This is the worst state my nails have been in and I can't believe I paid $30 for someone to damage my nails. Avoid this place and give business to nail techs who actually have customer service and care about a clients' nails.

I've been going to Sunny for over 2 years, and I can't recommend her enough. Her attention to…read moredetail is impeccable, and she's always honest about what will work best to achieve the look you're going for. She takes the time to explain her approach and make thoughtful recommendations. Her nail prep is exceptional, I've never experienced any lifting, and my sets consistently last 4-5 weeks. I always get so many compliments on the sets she does for me :) Definitely come prepared with your inspo beforehand, Sunny is really skilled at bringing designs to life and will help guide you toward the best version of your vision. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about her craft and delivers beautiful, long-lasting nails, I highly recommend Sunny.

I've been really hesitant to book a nail appointment since I typically get mine done in Asia (they…read moredon't rush the process, pay close attention to detail and are gentle throughout the entire process). After many months of looking on the internet and looking at reviews, I was recommended to Aperson, and everyone said to book with Tina. I actually booked her super last minute for my first appointment with her and she exceeded all expectations! She was really quick and yet so gentle, thorough and helpful with choosing colors (something I am very anxious about as it's something that stays on my nails for 1+ months at a time). The shop itself is really cute and cozy; I think working with such a small studio, you really need to find the right decor and furniture -- and it's really nice! The place is comfortable and set up in a way that eases your mind. Suffice to say, I'm so glad I found her! I booked my second and third appointment already -- just had our second appointment a few weeks ago and am about to go in for my third soon. She's really patient and gives great advice on what colors or styles work together. I'm really excited for our next appointment because I'm really going out of my comfort level and getting an intricate design for the first time, but I fully trust Tina will make it all work together. Highly recommend coming here - my nail health has been really great!

I appreciate finding this spot when my local spot was not available, because the nail tech had gone…read moreon a six-week vacation. I really needed my nails to be done for the wedding, but I also really wanted a place with Korean or Japanese nail polish. While they have Chinese nail polish here, I would say that the quality is similar, in terms of the translucent, romantic, shimmering type of appeal as Korean and Japanese gel. The nail tech worked quickly, and I was in and out after taking off existing gel in about 40 to 45 minutes. This is actually amazing, considering that the previous place I went to literally took maybe 90 or 100 minutes. I would definitely come back here because it's fast, and the work is good. However, I did notice that after a few days my gel developed bubbles that were more visible. I suspect it's something like when they're first done, the bubbles are lower in the surface, but because air is inevitably lighter, the bubbles begin to surface after a few days. Either way I appreciate the speed.
