I've seen almost every nail tech there, and no matter who I book with, the quality, attention to detail, and overall experience have always been on point. Today I wanted to give a special shoutout to Sofie, who did my deluxe pedicure. She was incredibly thorough, gentle, and made the whole experience super relaxing, especially the foot massage. Also, Michelle deserves a huge thank you for introducing me to buildable gel. After trying both regular gel and dip over the years, I'm officially converted! The finish looks more natural, lighter and feels healthier for my nails. What really sets White Heaven apart is how well they take care of their customers. The staff is always professional, the salon is clean and well-maintained, and they're great at listening to what you want while also making recommendations. Appointments run on time, and you never feel rushed, which I really appreciate. If you're looking for a nail salon that consistently delivers high-quality work and great service, this is it. Highly recommend!

A Truly Exceptional Nail Salon - Rie & Peter Are a Must!…read more This was my first time coming here, and I'm honestly so impressed that I need everyone to know about this place. The moment I walked in, the whole atmosphere felt warm, welcoming, and full of good vibes. It's rare to find a salon where you instantly feel comfortable, but this one truly feels like a place that cares. I had Rie for my hands and Peter for my pedicure, and both of them exceeded every expectation I had. Rie - Hands/Nails Rie was absolutely amazing. She spent real time talking to me about my nails--my habits, what I struggle with, what I prefer--so she could help me care for my nails long-term, not just for the day. That alone stood out to me. Her technique is incredibly gentle, precise, and detail-oriented. Nothing felt rushed. She paid close attention to shape, length, and symmetry, and made sure I loved each step before moving on. One thing I really appreciated: the tips she put on feel like my real nails. No heaviness, no bulkiness, no thick edges. They feel light, natural, and perfectly blended. I actually kept touching them because I couldn't believe how natural they felt. It's the best and cleanest application I've ever had. Peter - Pedicure Peter was just as impressive. He was: * Extremely thorough with calluses and cuticles * Gentle but effective * Very attentive and made sure I was comfortable the whole time My feet feel soft, refreshed, and genuinely cared for--not rushed through like at most places. The polish application and massage were perfect. Overall Experience The biggest difference here is that they truly take their time. Not one moment felt rushed or overlooked. Everything was done with intention, patience, and care. The overall vibe was: * Easy-going * Relaxing * Warm * Detail-focused I walked out feeling pampered, valued, and honestly amazed at how beautiful and natural everything looked. Would I Recommend Them? Absolutely YES. If you want: * Natural-feeling tips that look and feel like real nails * A nail tech who genuinely cares about the health of your nails (ask for Rie!) * A pedicure that's detailed, gentle, and leaves your feet baby-soft (ask for Peter!) * A salon with amazing energy and zero rushing Then this is the place you need to go. I'm already planning my next appointment.

I went to this nail salon on July 23rd. It was a last minute appointment for me but they had enough…read moreopenings. I needed a pedicure done so bad and given their yelp review I trusted this place. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed walking out of here. I posted a final photo of the work done on my toes as you can see how messy and and honestly just not good work at all. The person who did my nails was a male Vietnamese guy. Honestly, I was so annoyed by the end of it because he was cleaning the sides of my nails and since he was so busy talking literally cut my skin cause he was using the tool and looking behind him while talking to everyone else. I also had to ask him to clean the sides of my nails just so its not filled with skin that he had already cut up. So when he applied the nail polish I waited to see what else he was going to do because I can see how messy it was. Once it was dry the picture below was the result of this mediocre work. I think they're only good for their manicure which I haven't tried but it appears that's majority of their photos on their yelp.

I moved to Hayward recently and had been bouncing around trying to find a new nail spot--came across Sam's page because I was curious about Russian manicures and she does them beautifully. Just a heads up on the booking process: the site directs you to request an appointment, but it's not auto-confirmed--Sam has to accept it manually. For my first appointment, I booked for the next day and wasn't sure if it was going through, so now I just DM her directly to check in. Super easy once you know the flow. Sam herself is super sweet and easy to talk to. She recently went solo with her business, so it's just her now--and honestly, I love that. It's chill, one-on-one, and you can tell she really cares about quality. She has a gorgeous selection of colors and uses high-end products, which I think is why everything lasts so long. The first time I went, my nails were in sad shape and I honestly didn't think they'd bounce back. A month later? I've got legit nails I'm proud to show off. If you're looking for a new nail tech who's talented, kind, and really knows her stuff, definitely give Sam a try. I've already planned my next visit.

I attached photos of my broken nail that needed repair, how it looked after Sam fixed it before polish (you can't even see the crack!) and the final set once Sam was done.

The intent was to…read moreget a pedicure($30) & a gel manicure($32) on a Sat.morning w/a call & I was able to do so, since it wasn't too busy. Service was attentive & I got to speak with I believe the owner who had been there for 16 years so it made the experience more memorable. Since I don't want a gel pedicure I opted for a regular lacquer nail polish. The polish was a bit old & gooey but she added a few drops of nail polish thinner & it worked. My daughter had a gel manicure & she mentioned the color she chose also has that issue. I guess when you have so many options to choose from there are bond to be bottles that don't get regularly used. The experience was pleasant for my pedicure, but I would suggest making an appt.w/the younger male nail specialist for details on your manicure. It seems like he has a keen eye for details.

He did apologized and explained I can go back without charge to get my nails redone by Helen who has better experience. In the middle of my response, he cut me off and said "I don't have time, you can come back or book. Have a good day". The customer service here is so bad. The comment was just to make them look better on Yelp. Please look at other people's reviews before deciding to come here! This is the first time I'm giving 1star review. I don't normally give reviews lower than 4 stars, but I'm really disappointed since I paid $120 for a manicure and pedicure that I didn't like. The pedicure was fine since it was just plain white polish. The reason I'm upset is because the lady who worked on my manicure seemed to have an attitude after I asked her to trim the acrylic shorter. I understand misunderstandings can happen, possibly due to a language barrier, but I clearly explained at the beginning that I wanted short almond nails. As a customer, I didn't appreciate feeling like my request was an inconvenience. She even said it's harder to work on short nails. It's frustrating to pay $70 for nails that I'm planning to remove the next day and pay another salon to redo. I still tipped her though I wasn't happy. I also blame myself for not reading the reviews beforehand since there are already a good amount of negative reviews. I'm getting married on Sunday, so things have been hectic, and this was one of the only salons near me that was open late. I really wanted to like this place because the late hours are convenient. * Some nails are crooked
