Long overdue review - I got my wedding nails done here last year with Gel X by Jamie, including chrome and ombré, and a pedicure by Phi. I can't remember who cleaned up my husband's nails, but overall the pricing felt fair and the service was great. They also take Venmo, which made payment super easy. I showed Jamie a reference photo of what I wanted and she made them look even better than the picture. My nails came out really well and felt very wedding-day ready. My husband's hands also looked clean and well-groomed - everything felt polished for our big day. I don't live nearby so it's a bit out of the way for me, but I would absolutely make the trip again specifically to get my nails done by Jamie. read more

I came here at 6:20 PM, and the salon was already empty and getting ready to close. Hannah did my nails, and understandably, it felt rushed since the place closes at 7 PM. The salon itself was so dirty that I almost wanted to get up and leave. The floors and equipment were unclean. When I placed my hand inside the blue light to cure, I ended up with clear nail polish stuck to my fingers, leaving my hands feeling gross. They also charge an extra 2.5% for paying with a debit or credit card, so keep that in mind. While my nails did turn out looking nice, there are definitely cleaner, more relaxing places to go for better service. I would not recommend. read more

I rarely get my nails done, but my cuticles were driving me insane. I searched for nearby studios and found Iconic Nails. The amazing reviews convinced me to give them a try. I first reached out through Yelp and was quickly in communication with Merry. She was super friendly and responded promptly with all the details. :) As an introvert, I really appreciate the low pressure vibe during my appointment. My nail tech, Kim, was kind and professional without being overly chatty. I am a little hard of hearing so I missed what she was saying at the end and just nodded..turned out it was a hand/shoulder massage. Ooopssss! The total came out to around $71, which felt a bit pricey for a simple design. HOWEVER, it was worth it. She did an amazing job cleaning up my cuticles. No pain, no irritation, no aggressive cutting like I've experienced elsewhere. I'd definitely come back if I didn't live too far! read more

Iconic Nails is my go-to in the Bay Area. The staff is always so friendly and everyone does a great job with the services. Incredible attention to detail too. They also give long massages depending on the service you get. Always look forward to getting my nails done here. read more

I really wanted to like this salon, but my nails had other plans. It's only been a week and they're already lifting. The base of the nail wasn't prepped right, so everything is popping up like they're trying to escape. One finger doesn't even have full coverage--like the dip just gave up halfway through and called it a day. On top of that, the texture is... creative. Some are lumpy, some dented, some just plain confused. Consistency clearly wasn't on the menu. And then my toes. No, I'm not providing free foot pics, but my polish chipped within a day. A day. I never have issues with regular polish on my toes lasting, so that was a real surprise. End result: nails that look like they've been through a construction site and toes that already need redoing. Funny in hindsight, not funny for my wallet. read more

Enjoyed a solid pedicure here by Jamie today. They have a range of service options to meet all budgets/needs. Excellent customer service especially by the owner (Merry) and reasonable prices explain the constant flow of regulars. Large selection of colors and easy to make appointments online. Looking forward to my next visit! read more

I'm so disappointed with the nails I got here today. I just came in wanting a manicure and pedicure. It was super busy today but I called and they gave me an appointment so I figured it should be fine and that I wouldn't be rushed too much. I was so wrong. I came in with long natural nails and they were almond shaped but I asked for them to be cut down a little bit and made into a natural square shape, they cut my nails all the way down like as short as they could go and they filled them super roughly. Then they also switched the girl who was working on my nails to a different girl and then she filled them even more. Now I have short nubby nails. Once she started painting them she just kinda slapped them together and I saw her getting paint on my fingers and I figured she'd clean them up well before I was done but no, I still have gel polish on my skin. Also she didn't paint all the way close to my cuticle so they already look grown out. Once I was done and I looked at them the manager saw that I was disappointed and offered to file off some of the excess gel in between my nail and my skin, she tried to file down the goopy gel on the tip of my middle finger but it was no use. Just a plain sloppy application. Finally, for my toes I just wanted regular polish so that I don't have to commit to gel if I want to change out the color. But the lady said I need to do gel so that I could get my shoes back on to which I replied, "Maybe next time." but she started doing gel. I guess she also charged me for callous removal so my stupid gel pedicure that I didn't even really want cost $70 when I wanted a basic regular pedicure. When I went to pay my total was $120 before tip. And I left with a sloppy SHORT manicure and gel toes that I didn't even know I was getting. I'm so disappointed I never want to get my nails done again, I think I need to just do them myself from now on. I'm also just so sad about my nails being cut so short when I wanted to keep them long. Worst day ever. read more

My girl Hanna has never done me wrong. I found this place on Yelp because of the amazing reviews and they truly live up to them. I've had my nails done at many places and can say the quality of the work here is unlike any other. Hanna's attention to detail is amazing, she gets the shape perfect every time and color matches my inspiration images perfect. As long as I live close by, I will never go elsewhere. I get builder gel and my nails last 5+ weeks. Pricing is very fair as well. read more

This is my go-to nail spot! I've been coming here for two years, and the staff is always warm and friendly. My gel nails consistently last about three weeks, which I love.

I chose this place because I saw they had an exceptional amount of positive reviews and they did not disappoint. I was able to make an appointment for the same day and texted them to confirm that they were able to do the type of nails I was looking for. I got my nails done by Hanna and she has so much attention to detail and patience. She made sure I was happy with the colors and offered me plenty of options for how I wanted the design to turn out. These nails cost about $120 before tip. I get my nails done once a year so I don't mind splurging on a set, especially when it turns out as beautiful as this. The place gets pretty busy and for good reason! It's run by a team of amazing ladies, and I was able to witness the community of regulars that stop by to get their services. Will definitely be back :) read more

After my experience the second time I went. I would not be returning there. It is unfortunate because I liked the other two who did my service the first time. But the second time.. Kimmie who did the pedicure was unethical and very rude. Jackie took over two hours to do my nails and it was painful, end up with a lot of glue underneath. Like really caked up. I fairly warn you go when the owner is at the shop. Cause they will treat you wrong without her there. read more

I got my nails done by Jamie for prom and for summer so far. She pays really good attention to the details she adds and double checks to make sure you get what you want! My prom nails lasted a bit over 4 weeks, they grew out nicely and stayed pretty strong until removal. The place is never too crowded and I almost always start drifting off lol but compared to other nail salons, this one is me and my mom's go to. I highly recommend this place read more

I was quickly seated as a walk in for my requested pedicure. Nice and clean salon - just moderately busy which was nice - so calm environment for a Friday midmorning. Definitely tried to upsell me for the $69 pedicure a few times claiming it will make my skin really soft lol Just wanted a bit over the basic - mostly for the massage and getting some color done. I would come back with a few reservations - I had a parafin plastic bag added to my feet just a few minutes into my 10 min on a timer massage starting - which was odd - and she massaged my feet through the plastic and goo - definitely unpleasant and not fun - no way would I let that happen again. Ended up cutting my toe nails too short especially on the big toes so now's a bit uncomfortable wearing closed shoes but hopefully the nail growing out soon will alleviate that - I did request barely a trim since i just had cut them all recently. Anyhoo... And checking out was really really weird - no where was I told that I was going to get hassled about using a credit card - first I was told by my technician that the card payment wasn't working...I didn't have enough cash on hand to pay and leave a tip - owner came into help - she said well you could Zelle? I don't have that I answered - well we have a ATM here - I don't carry a debit card around normally - and then she asked me how much cash I have - I told her and then she said give me that and I will charge your card the remaining...totally confused - I replied I would rather charge the whole amount please. Miraculously she has a phone where she could tap my card and voila - credit card payment done...sorta of ruined the whole relaxing spa vibe I was aiming for.... Also not offered any water/tea etc as mentioned on their site. read more

After having a rough nail experience with my usual place I started looking around the area for a new nail tech that was good with intricate designs and acrylics. I found reviews here for Jamie and instantly knew she was my girl! Every style I have brought her has been a masterpiece!!! Her attention to detail, patience, and kindness have made me a loyal customer! I love the vibe in this salon as it is super calm, very clean, and doesn't smell like chemicals which I really appreciate. I love telling people where I get my nails done and hyping Jamie up! I also want to mention that scheduling appointments with Merry is so easy and she is so kind which makes the experience even better! If I can suggest a place to go for beautiful nails it is Iconic Nails Studio with Jamie :) read more

This review is long overdue! Hanna always has impeccable attention to detail and creativity when recreating/embellishing design requests for me. She is very gentle with my hands and always goes above and beyond to improve designs where possible: e.g. using an airbrush (I didn't even realize this was possible!), mixing a new gel color, finding an accent shade of gold that is just right, finding pearls of the right size/color, etc. I always leave very happy and relaxed, and my nails do not chip even with extra pearly designs added on. My nails are quite strong and the gel x rarely breaks off (only after 5-6+ weeks); I am happy to let my nails grow out for a very long time because the designs are so beautiful/resilient and I don't want to remove them yet! Every pedicure I've received here is also very nicely done. I don't get gel on my toes, and yet they do not chip for many weeks! I'm very impressed by the quality of services I've received, and recommend Iconic Nails Studio to anyone looking for a beautiful and refreshing experience. read more

This is my second time coming here and I am obsessed with Jamie's work. She is both quick (~2 hours for both sets, blue had new Gel-X, red had fills) and really detail oriented. Normally I do my own nails and stick to one color but wanted to do something fun for the holidays. Her work is so good that I've decided to keep coming back. Nails are super strong and none fell off between visits. She can take a look at a picture and put it into reality. Definitely fairly priced! Blue and white set: $112 without tip Red/maroon set: $95 without tip read more

by far the best service i've experienced at a nail salon. i initially had booked an appointment with Fara but due to time constraints had another nail tech, Jamie, work on my nails. i was really disappointed by the end result and reached out to Mary to express my dissatisfaction. the nails did not look anything close to what i had shown her and i was in disbelief how they turned out. i wished she had told me if my nail inspo photo wasn't detailed enough. some of my nails were also not glued entirely well and so they were also beginning to lift. i also told her that i would be out of town for a month and that i only had a few days to get them redone. I was able to make an appointment two days after my initial visit. Fara inspected the nails and removed two so that they can be redone. She also went above and beyond to do a hard gel fill so that my nails last longer. she took her time to make and asked me every so often if my nails were what i wanted. i was so happy by the end results! i'll definitely be coming back. please note that Fara is a very very skilled nail tech so she is a bit pricier than others. in terms of pricing, I had to pay an additional $40 (before tip) on top of the $90 (before tip) that I had paid for the nails Jamie did. read more

My go-to is simple one color nude nails. My nail tech was really helpful in helping me color match to my desired look. Love the environment, very relaxing space that isn't rushed the way many nail salons can feel. Definitely book an appointment. Their complimentary arm massage was wonderful with great lotion they apply with it. So relaxing and I left in a great mood! One star off for minor peeling/chipping after ~1 week. I don't think this will last me more than 2 weeks before things start peeling off. Still a great experience and I'd come back for the ambience read more

I get my nails done by Jamie and Hannah. I love them both. They are so patient and detailed in doing my nails (and I have short nails!). We always joke about me giving them a hard time with the details on the nail art, but they do it with such ease and always looks amazing. I highly recommend them as they are so sweet and have not disappoint. I've been going here since this year and it's worth the 25 min drive. read more

Had a fantastic experience. After getting Gel X at another salon that I absolutely hated, I walked in and asked if I could get them removed and replaced with a set of acrylics (my nails were trashed at this point). Ly was amazing. She not only took the time to remove the Gel X as delicately as possible, gave me a fresh, classic "normal" manicure and she took the time to clean up my cuticles. Great experience! read more
