My partner and I have been to Vu three times (four manicures.)…read more Over those three appointments, not one has started on time, each time Vu has been at least fifteen minutes behind. The two Gel manicures my partner received came out beautifully, so if you're not on a time crunch and that is all you are looking for, you will walk out happy. My first visit was a fill, as the integrity of my previous Gel-X was maintained, and overall both the fill, shaping, and nail are were satisfactory. I needed a new set on this visit, and things went downhill quickly. I pointed out that numerous nails were too narrow, and it was shrugged off (some builder gel was placed on the sides, but nothing further.) He then tried to push acrylic on me, and laughed when I expressed that acrylic does not work for me, and I had not previously had issues with Gel-X over nearly two years. I would have walked out if I had the option. As a result, not a single pair of fingers is consistent (as pictured,) the "stiletto" tips are not centered, the shaping is horribly unflattering on my hands, not one nail has a proper apex due to the initial application being significantly longer than the length I expressed I would want. The "cat-eye" I paid additional for is barely noticeable. At least the color itself is pretty. Back to the drawing board, as my quest for a competent apres gel-x tech in the area now continues.

I really like the relaxing ambiance and the spa treatments they offer, but there's been a few…read moreissues that I've encountered during my past two visits. On both visits, they had staffing issues. Even though I made an appointment, it always seems like they get delayed because they've overbooked and/or don't have enough nail technicians. The first time I got a pedicure with spa treatment done and I watched as people who came in with appointments waited past their appointment times to be seen. A pedicure with spa treatment is supposed to be an hour, but I was there for two to three hours. On my most recent visit, I opted for the therapeutic pedicure. The menu listed it as "60 minutes", so I was under the impression that the massage session would be sixty minutes. It lasted fifteen minutes. The nail technician I had spent at most forty-five minutes with me before moving on and never coming back. I still had the paper towel between my toes. I waited half an hour before having to wave someone down to assist me. One of my nails was not trimmed straight, so I asked if they could snip it for me. Another nail technician (sorry, I forget her name, but I think she's the owner), ended up filing and repainting the whole set. She did a great job and offered extra massage for next time. I brought up the confusion with the therapeutic pedicure session twice throughout, but the receptionist still charged me for the therapeutic pedicure. So long story short, unless you are expecting a fifteen minute massage and spending $20 extra for it, DON'T go for the therapeutic pedicure. In the future, I'll opt for the traditional pedicure or splurge on another spa treatment (rose and champagne is currently my go-to). Also, if you can, book your appointment earlier in the day before they get backed up with appointments and walk-ins.

The first appointment was a great experience, she explained everything she was doing step by step and executed what I asked for flawlessly. It was very much worth the price + tip and commute. My second appointment with her was supposed to be today @ 1pm, I drove to Pleasanton super early to avoid traffic and made it by 11am... She texts me at 11:12am that she has to cancel because she woke up with a terrible stomach ache. She asked me if we could reschedule this week but when I gave her the day I'm available her response was she's fully booked and could ask her coworker to fit me in. Nothing against her coworker but idk who that person is nor have I seen their work so that wasn't an option. I ended up not rescheduling at all. When clients are paying the premium (AND TIPPING) for a service there should be a certain level of professionalism. I understand things happen but still can't help being irritated and feeling like my time was wasted.

My best friend and I were hoping to get mani/pedis following our tea time next door. She was sooo accommodating and open to take us right after our lunch. We had the whole place to ourselves and for this mama of 3, was just the rest and relaxation I needed. We were pampered in a massage chair for our pedis and received the most thorough treatment. My toes were super embarrassing - not having had a pedi for months and she was just soo sweet and did not leave any stone unturned. We received lavender scrub and had a glass of wine during our treatments. Ann Marie has an awesome machine that shakes your body and gets your blood flowing after sitting down for long periods.

I mentioned this before booking because I know most salons primarily work with gel polish. The receptionist confirmed they could accommodate my request, although they had a limited selection of regular polish colors. She even offered to text me photos of the available colors, which she did. During our conversation, I explained that I have contact dermatitis, which is why I normally choose regular nail polish instead of gel. Even after I explained this, I felt I was repeatedly encouraged to switch to gel. I even said that if regular polish truly wasn't an option, I would consider trying gel despite my concerns. Instead of honoring the appointment they had already agreed to, I received a message stating they would not provide the service because of my contact dermatitis and that they would be refusing service altogether. I completely respect a business's right to decline services for safety or liability reasons. However, what I found disappointing was that my appointment was initially accepted after I clearly explained I wanted regular polish, only for the decision to change after I disclosed my medical condition. I would have appreciated clear communication from the beginning rather than being led to believe the appointment was confirmed.
