    Top coat lifting on sides and underneath nail due to drooping and trying to clean
    Wamil J.

    *updated: 3/19 8:45pm - I went back today after my visit earlier (see below), I spoke with Kevin the owner and he was super helpful as well as Monica(she redid my nails) and Vivi (helped assist removal). The second time around my experience was unbeatable and my nails look better than I could've imagined, thank you Monica! Thank you Kevin for reaching out and hearing me and getting the experience corrected. So excited to come back to this place and have this spot close by! Definitely recommend for anyone looking in Almaden, please check out Garden Nail Bar! --------------------------------------------------- Original review: I was excited to try this place, been in search of a spot close to me - unfortunately this may not be one of them. Needed to get my nails re-done last minute for a wedding and in a bind for time or else I'd do them myself. I showed the inspo and they recreated the look. I mentioned one finger needed to be fixed and was denied saying it looked fine and then I mentioned it again before they applied the next coat but they continued to do so anyways. They added thick layers of top coat which fell to the sides onto my cuticles which will lift and has already started to... I asked if I should hold my hand upside down so the apex could build but they said no they've got it and tried to fix it and asked me to cure. My nails are now a 1/4 inch thick on the sides and flat/droopy in the centers/tip. They look good from afar(see pics) but the quality of work ruined it for me. My nails are extremely thick, due to the multiple uneven and streaky layers of top coat.

    They saw us right away and we had a lovely time. I would definitely recommend you for a walk in!

    Located in the shopping center where Safeway is, this nail salon gets really busy (especially with walk-ins). I feel like the owners are eager for business and over estimate how many customers they can accept at the same time. I had to wait 20 minutes past my appointment to get serviced. The owner tried to keep me busy with water and snacks, along with selecting colors. But that didn't stop me from checking the time. The lady who did my pedicure quickly came over and began working on my toes. I didn't have a pedicure in months so I definitely needed some cleaning. I was skimped on my callus scrub, ingrown nail remover and massage. Oh, and paraffin is an additional charge, boo. The pedicure was enough to shorten my nails and color my toes. But the shape and extra clean look just wasn't there. Pro? They have a huge color selection to choose from.

    These are my nails less than an hour after being done. Judge for yourself.

    Highly disappointing! See the pics of my powder nails. They speak for themselves. Positives: Take walk ins Offer water, snacks Have a wide array of services Negatives/Needs Improvement: I asked for powder dip nails. Most places remove your powder dip and put a fresh coat on. They filed it down, then did the powder dip on top. And, instead of doing the powder dip color they suggested--more like insisted--I do clear powder dip then they'd put color gel on top. When I asked why they had no explanation. They failed to fill in, cover areas of my nails adequately, left polish and cuticles uncleaned and untrimmed. (See pictures). I'm super disappointed!!

Everything looked new and fresh, with the new owners having taken over. Check-in process was easy through the kiosk, and by the time I chose a polish color, the seat and foot bath was ready for me. What was extra nice was the complimentary beverage service that came with my pedicure. I wish I could have tried the Vietnamese coffee, but I knew I wouldn't be able to handle the caffeine so late in the day so I went with a water. Even sweeter was since they were brand new, they offered a free gift at the end of the session to celebrate their opening. I got the basic pedicure, but I appreciated the spa treatment that came with it, the foot rub and hot stone massage. The owner Nina was meticulous and made sure the color was perfect, and did a great job of catching any stray color and doing touch ups during the drying process. On top of that, I was happy I could relate to Nina as she had a new infant at home. What a hard working and dedicated person balancing both family and business. Would definitely come back!

Amazing! She understood that I have a fear of getting my nails filed close to my cuticles and she took her time. She displayed experience, talent and care for her customer. After all these years of wearing nails, today I see it can be removed while keeping the complete integrity of your natural nails! She can do it, my nails look beautiful! Thank you Lannie.

When I went to my appointment, they told me they didn't have Dysport and only had Daxxify. I ended up getting Daxxify twice and paid $500, which was almost double what I usually pay for my forehead treatment. It didn't work at all--no results. (I personally recommend not wasting your money on Daxxify.) I called them several times and asked for a refund. Eventually, they gave me another appointment for a Dysport treatment at no cost. But even after that, I still didn't get satisfying results. After all these injections and spending $500 just for my forehead, I personally do not recommend Ava Rejuvenation. I will definitely contact the Better Business Bureau about my experience. Please do your research before choosing where to go for your treatment.

After about 10 minutes, she started trying to put a purple sugar scrub on my legs. When I asked if it was lavender, she looked shocked and said "oh my gosh yes I am so sorry" and switched it out with a Cherry Sage sugar scrub instead. The rest of the pedicure went fine, until we hit the massage part. She put purple lotion on my legs, so I again asked: "is that lavender" she said yes and started to rub it in as I jerked away and said: "I AM ALLERGIC!" she immediately grabbed some towels and water and got it off but by then I was already getting dizzy from the smell. She finished my appointment with no other accidents, but for my safety I will not return. The owner of this establishment really should have a talk with his staff about what the words "allergy" and "allergic" mean.

It's about the overall experience surrounding it, which consistently felt far more difficult and time-consuming than necessary for relatively routine aesthetic treatments. From January through May, the process involved paid consultations, long scheduling gaps, delayed communication, unclear coordination, waiting, and repeated back-and-forth. Communication with Bella directly, including over Instagram, often felt fragmented and inefficient, which made even basic scheduling feel unnecessarily complicated. I also felt consultations frequently expanded into broader and significantly more expensive treatment plans than what I originally came in seeking. While I understand recommendations are part of aesthetics, the overall experience often felt more focused on escalation than simplicity. Most recently, I mistakenly arrived on the wrong appointment date, which I fully take responsibility for. However, after months of coordination, rearranging childcare, driving to Los Gatos repeatedly, planning around travel during Mother's Day weekend, and then waiting another 20 to 30 minutes to see whether I might possibly be accommodated, only to ultimately be told no, I realized this simply was not the right fit for me anymore. What stood out most throughout the experience was the complete lack of flexibility or operational ease at any stage of the process. Luxury service should reduce stress, not create more of it. Ultimately, I realized I no longer have the bandwidth for this level of friction around relatively routine aesthetic maintenance, especially when there are many other talented providers in the Bay Area.
