    Beautiful heart design set

    I have been repeatedly returning and getting my nails done here over the last few months. Kevin is my go-to person. He has great skills and always professional. He has done an amazing job attending to my mom and two daughters as well. The salon is clean & provides a calming vibe.

    Definitely stop by here if you can. Tracy and Jenny did an amazing job on my nails! I got regular pedicure and gel manicure. I always have a hard time finding someone who can do a good job and make the gel thin but Tracy was amazing. They were both friendly and super funny. I kept my nails natural because of work and Tracy helped me find the perfect color :)

    These are my latest. I'll try and remember to come update this occasionally. Lol.

    I've been going here for well over a year now. To think, I only stopped in to it due to it being downstairs from the gym and I've never loved a place more. Ask for Keit, or Kevin, and you won't be disappointed. He always goes above and beyond. I've presented him with the weirdest ideas, or "inspiration" and I always leave with nails I love. Side note; I'm a drag queen in my spare time, and these nails are solid. I put them through handstands and cartwheels frequently and they don't chip or break.

    Gel manicure

    The nail tech that did my gel Manicure was very nice and through. She really took her time to clean up my cuticles and color match the polish to a photo I showed her. I took off one star bc my appointment for a simple manicure took two hours bc some of the nails ended up with really thick polish and they had to redo it. But overall happy with the service and results for the price

    Hard Gel Cat Eye Manicure

    Loved my cat eye hard gel manicure done by JC (forgive me if that's misspelled)! Also got the best gel pedicure. They took their time and the quality of the service was excellent. Highly recommend going here for your next nail day.

    One of the male staff members did my Gel X nails and the application was great. The only problem was when I showed him the reference photo for my nails he painted the base color nude when the color was pink. But then he led me to Tracy where she did fixed the base and the design perfectly. She cleaned up the nail and made it more cleaner. Her design and my reference photo was close to perfection! I really love the detail she put into each nail especially when she added power on top. I definitely recommend Tracy as she was very attentive to detail. I'll definitely come back and get a fill after this set is done!

    My friend said she was going here and I said as long as she doesn't have Kevin she'll be good! Guess who she got... I'm seriously shocked this guy still works here. She was left bleeding like I was and just the overall quality horrible. He doesn't file the nail he files skin. I love the ladies in here but me and my friend will not be back until he's gone. I'm shocked.

    Tried this nail salon. Here are some thoughts. This place feels like recently refreshed. Interior is pretty updated and fresh. You can book online which is a plus. It is located in downtown of Millbrae. There are plenty of parking around, street parking, parking lot between trader Joe and living spaces, and parking lot across the street near the old staples. I tried the basic and regular pedicure. It is super efficient here. Within 20 min, I am waiting for drying. Cleaned well and colored. Massage chairs look modern and gets the job done. Overall feeling of this place is a super efficient. The regular here is really the bare minimum of service.

    great service, i was super satisfied with my nails here i get them done at golden spa everytime and im always happy with my results !!

    Gel pedi
    Mary X.

    I've been here several times now and unfortunately I don't think the quality is consistent when it comes to manicures. The gel pedicure is usually great, no problems. However I added on a regular manicure this time since I wanted a rest from gel. I wasn't really happy with the end state and I could tell it was a bit rushed. You can see that the paint layers don't look uniform from tip to bottom of the nail (see my photo labeled "June 2024". It just didn't look like a paint job from a nail salon imo. Disappointed with the last few manis I've had here so likely wouldn't come back for that.

    I had been going to this salon for about 6 months and then last November 2024, I discovered that I had a nail infection. I had mentioned to the lady doing my nails that I needed a new set and she said that it was still fine. I had also asked for a new set the time before and they also said it was fine. Now I know they were being lazy. I hesitantly proceeded with my acrylic fill. A couple days later, my nails were already lifting. I thought that was weird since I've been getting my nails done for 10+ years and it's never happened. I put some nail glue on and that only held for another day. I looked under the nail that was lifting and saw that it was green. I panicked and too the nail off to discover a really bad "greenie". It had developed because water was trapped under my nail and got infected. Luckily, the infection had not gotten to my nail bed so my actual nail didn't fall off. I got all of my nails removed at another salon and she said they should have never given me a new set. It turned out I had greenies on 4 of my nails. It is now 3 months later without nails and the greenie has finally grown out. My nail was stained so I decided to leave acrylics off until it grew out. I do not recommend this place. I'd give them no stars if I could. They are lazy and don't listen to the customer.

    Full set done by Kevin!

I am not great on the phone so using massive text for someone has awkward as me really takes some of the pressure off of tripping over my words! They have a great color selection and when I sent them my inspo they made a wonderful color recommendation! They also DO NOT do nail art for gel manicures without the gel extension, but for a little squiggly line on a couple fingers - they were able to accommodate! They are definitely more pricey than the other places I've been in the area, but honestly I'm pretty happy with their work and didn't feel like bailing at any point during the session. The environment is also calm, quiet, and relaxing - so it was just such a wonderful treat to get away. For both manicure and pedicure, plus a little squiggle it cost $100, then another $20 for tip so I'm glad only get my nails done maybe 3 times a year lol. This is definitely the spot!

The atmosphere is great, but unfortunately, I have to share a cautionary note regarding their pedicure services. During my appointment, the technician worked very deep into the corners of my toenails. While she was able to remove an ingrown nail on my left foot, the pressure and digging were quite painful. On my right big toe, there was a moment where she was working on the side and had to stop suddenly. By the weekend, my right toe was severely inflamed, and I ended up at urgent care. I am now on a course of antibiotics for an infection, sadly needing to taking them during my vacation. I truly appreciate how kind the team is, but I would urge the salon to be more cautious with how aggressively they handle ingrown edges to prevent these kinds of medical issues for future clients.

Unfortunately, ever since he became the manager/owner, the quality of his work has noticeably gone downhill. I decided to stick around because I understood he might be overwhelmed, but the experience just kept getting worse. Sitting in his chair now feels rushed and stressful. It's like he just wants to get you in and out as quickly as possible, regardless of quality. He gave me three sets that I didn't like. On the fourth visit, I finally spoke up because it was a French tip that wasn't done well. He spent maybe five extra minutes fixing it, and that apparently was too much. The unspoken rule seems to be that you're not allowed to spend more than 30 minutes in his chair. When I tried to make an appointment again, he told me not to come back. I find this extremely disappointing and unfair, especially to customers who were loyal for years and supported him by sending business his way. Being fast shouldn't come at the cost of quality or basic respect for paying customers.
