    Simple gel mani. Lines aren't super straight but I don't mind.

    I'm very particular about where I go because Ive had my share of experiences getting my nails done. Susan did my manicure. Not only is she super friendly. She took her time doing my nails and was super thorough. She was gentle cutting my cuticles. Ive never had a manicure so clean and nice. Nhi did my pedicure. Let me tell you! She was thorough and gentle. I always get scared getting pedicures since I do not like when the ladies dig too deep or are too rough. But Nhi did an awesome job! My feet feel super clean! Definitely would recommend coming here. I went in on a Sunday at 10 and there wasn't a wait

    Shop is currently under construction and new ownership! Highly recommend to support this family business, very professional and understanding to your needs. Very dedicated to helping and providing outstanding service. I went in for a full set gel-x, they provide a variety of different types of services ranging from manicures, pedicures, acrylic, gel-x, & waxing. Shop is open from 10AM-7PM seven days a week, be sure to check out this family business and support them during these tough times. You won't regret it!!

    I've been coming here for pedicures for around 3 years. The owner Cindy always treats me with such kindness and she's the ONLY person I trust to do my toes in all of the South Bay Area. I'm never disappointed with her work and the prices are more than fair. Don't hesitate to come here

    I found this place when I finally got fed up with the other nail salon across the street from this place who always said there was no wait then you get there and you wait almost an hour. Found this place on Yelp and saw recent reviews saying it was under new management and it was better. When I got there it was not busy at all!! So I had Christina I think was her name who did my bails and was really nice and good! I showed her a pic of what I wanted and she executed so well! I got a pedicure too. In time for my Cancun trip! Definitely gonna go back!

    the lasy was so nice which makes me feel bad because of this review but the guy tht did my nail was mean and did not do my nails at all like the picture. all my fingers were cut and burning for days after. i was bleeding on 8 fingers i was visibly in pain and he kept sanding away at my fingers. why?? 90$ spent on this embarrassing set. i left crying because i spent 90$ on this ugly bday set. my fingers were too sensitive to try and take it off everytime i put acetone it burned so bad my stomach hurt

    I will be back! I picked my color and she came up with the design:)

    I will be back! They are very nice and friendly. I had my baby with me and they were very understanding and patient. I picked my color and she came up with the design The vibe was very relaxing.

    I've been here twice now and had to write a review. The ladies here are all friendly and…read moreprofessional. Clearly their products are top of the line, in the past when I got gel on my nails a week tops before it started to peel. This picture is of a three week old service. Actually headed to the shop now. It only peeled in one nail and that's cause I chipped my nail. That tells me the previous shops I went to must've watered down the product to stretch. Based on the quality alone they have made a permanent customer out of me! Can't forget the music is always a vibe.

    I came in for a simple color change on my toes. As soon as I walked in, I greeted the woman sitting…read moreat a station. Instead of a greeting back, the first thing she said was, "Can you close the door because the air is on?" There was no "Hi, how are you?" or even a polite request. It immediately set the tone for the visit. When she finally asked how she could help me, I told her I was there for a color change. She looked around, sighed, and said, "We're not gonna have time for you today." I paused, expecting her to offer another appointment or suggest another time, but instead it just felt like, "We can't help you." I said, "No problem," and started walking out. An employee (who I believe was her assistant) ran after me and told me another customer had offered to let me go ahead since my service was something simple. I honestly hesitated because of the owner's attitude, but I wanted to give a black owned business the benefit of the doubt, so I came back. I thanked the customer who let me go ahead, but the owner never acknowledged me. Even something as simple as, "It's been really busy today, but we appreciate you and we'll be with you shortly," would have gone a long way. When it was finally my turn, I sat down and the owner asked, "You're just getting a color change, right?" I said yes, and she didn't say another word. It honestly felt like she still didn't want to service me but was doing so because I was already there. A little while later she yelled across to me, "Hey, blue shirt... what's your name?" After I told her, she said that from her angle it looked like I had my leg resting on the technician and that her client didn't want to turn around. It was awkward, but I laughed it off and once again tried to give her the benefit of the doubt, figuring maybe she was just someone who was a little rough around the edges. After my service was finished, I went to pay. The technician asked if it was my first time there. When I said yes, she then informed me there was a $10 fee because they had to remove someone else's polish. The "removal" was simply sanding off my previous color. My issue wasn't even the fee--it was that it wasn't disclosed before the service started. Any additional charges should be communicated upfront so customers can decide whether they'd like to proceed. So I ended up paying $30 for a simple color changed when I could've just waited and got a pedicure at that point. The final straw was leaving the salon without so much as a "Thank you," "Have a great day," or "We appreciate your business." The owner said absolutely nothing. While I was there, I also watched other customers come in asking for pedicures. They received the same short, dismissive responses and were simply turned away. As they walked out, the owner called after them, "Keep us in mind." Honestly, that's difficult to do when customers aren't greeted warmly, prices aren't fully explained beforehand, and there doesn't seem to be much effort to make people feel welcome. The salon itself is nice, but customer service matters just as much as the quality of the work. A little kindness, professionalism, and clear communication go a long way in building loyal customers. Unfortunately, because of how I was treated, I won't be returning, and I can't recommend this salon based on my experience. I hope this brings awareness to the owner and no one else has to go through this experience

    This was my first time for Acrylic removal, replaced with Gel X Builder plus pedicure. The care,…read morequality, attention to detail, and ambience was excellent and this will keep me returning. I booked my next appointment before I left. Pricing was fair for the work that took place. Thanks Mai and Jenney!

    Edit: Here is some updated information after receiving the response below from the owner. It was…read morestated that my service began at 5:45pm. That was around the time when the nail tech walked over to me for the first time to ask if I had chosen a color, not when my feet were in the water or when I was receiving the service, as I stated. She also walked away after the initial contact and returned a couple times, throwing supplies on her cart before proceeding. Regardless of that, my Zelle payment for tip was also confirmed at 6:54pm. So I do want to acknowledge that my time there was about an hour and a half total from my arrival/ appointment time. There was also not a "light residue" of the scrub left, there was literal exfoliating pieces/ beads and cream that I was able to scrape off my leg with my fingernail. There is no need to note my preferences as I will not be going back. If I had known that later appointments were known to be thrown off schedule, I would've just showed up late so I didn't have to wait. There was no update or follow up. While I understand it is the business owners responsibility to ensure all reviews are accurate, the repeated attempt to disprove what I stated was unnecessary when the issue still stands: my appointment time was not honored, i had literal pieces of scrub and gel on my leg, and someone used a cuticle cutter to PULL pieces of my toenail off without asking me. I understand these services are a luxury; I would not come in expecting to be waited on but I do expect basic communication and respect. The service and response were both disappointing.
