    I absolutely love my nails! The design was a white, nude, and glittery color just like I asked for and they also glow in the dark which was a big plus! Even after two weeks they still glow and my nails felt intact and no chipping! The shop felt very welcoming and service there is fantastic!

    I love Kiet but I gave this shop way too many chances, From them Fighting in the salon, throwing things while I was pregnant to overcharging me for a plain nail design This past weekend I went in for my regular appointment with the intentions of getting treated like a loyal customer but nope my nails came out horrible- I never get square and he applied it- the acrylic was hella thick for no reason the shape wasn't filed right at all as you can see in the picture and when I came back to change the color they didn't even knowledge that maybe a different hand design with different colors would work like it was bad customer service I'm really sad to go from here but I shouldn't get treated like that at all with the amount of money I spend that's why I didn't tip P.S the funny below is the owners girlfriend lol look how they take it as a joke smh they ain't professional at all

    If you want a specific design I highly recommend coming to this salon.My nails came out exactly like the picture I just ask for a different color. Absolutely love my nails. Will be coming back again

    I normally don't write reviews but I had to this time for my daughter's experience with an acrylic set! After going to multiple nail salons we came across Lush Lyfe Studio. Kiet did an amazing job of explaining the process the whole time and was nice enough to offer advice for future manicures. He is very friendly and super fun to talk to. My daughter loved her set especially the simple but nice design Kiet's wife did. (it can be hard pleasing a teenager!) This will definitely be our go to for acrylic! Thanks!

    Kiet is the absolute best! His work is gorgeous. Heard about him from a friend. My daughter was adamant about scheduling an appointment with him so we Sent him a message around 7 PM the night before we actually wanted to schedule. He replied right away and locked my daughter in. He was very clear on his pricing and asked for a deposit to hold the appointment, which I sent though Venmo. It's so hard to find a nail tech who does exactly what you ask for with a little twist of his own personality so no one else has your nail design. If your looking for amazing nails and one of a kind designs, you will need Kiet. His schedule is usually pretty full so definitely book in advance. We got lucky he had an opening on short notice.

    Wow, I think I have found my new go-to nail tech! I heard about Kiet from one of my good friends who always gets her nails done by him and they always look on point. My birthday is coming up so I wanted to make sure they were POPPIN'. She helped me book an appt since he is appointment only but lemme just say that he's worth the time and money. I came in with a horrendous crooked set from a different shop and he did me a favor by fixing my nails. He took his time with me throughout the whole appointment (2 hours) and explained everything he was doing step by step. His work is powder only and it's pretty nice and clean compared to the usual work I get done from other shops. He definitely takes pride in his work and won't let you leave til you're satisfied with your nails. Book with him today, your nails will thank ya!

    Kiet is amazing. He is fast and very easy to talk to. I told him exactly what i wanted and he hooked me up!! I'm coming back again for sure

    First of all, idk why there is hella bad reviews, but my experience was great and fun. This was my first time getting my nails done by kiet and I'm in LOVE with my set. Kiet is super friendly and talkative! You won't be in that seat in silence, which I think is nice because majority of my nail techs never had the interest in talking to me.. or to any of their clients. During my appt he gave me a run down of what he was doing and using--which was a plus. He's not the type to throw unnecessary bs when doing your nails. Really straight forward and upfront with his work. He takes credit of his work and if something goes wrong with your nails within 3 days of after geting your set, he will accommodate you--no questions asked. As far as how my nails are doing--IM IN LOVE!! The shape, detail, and precision of my nails are on point. I'll give an updated review with the longevity and quality of the products. Big s/o to Kiet, Lan, and Christian for making my first time a great experience!!

    DONT GO HERE This place is overhyped & overpriced. 100 dollars for nails that are breaking off a week & a half later. Let me just save you the trip.

    This is some of my work, if you wanna see more of my design go ahead to my IG : nails.by_tiana Dm or text me there to book appointment

    ********Pro Tip: BRING QUARTERS/CHANGE FOR YOUR PARKING. Kiet is incredibly hard working and passionate about his art. He doesn't just do your nails and go. He walks his clients through whatever he's doing and makes sure they understand why he does what he does. He takes his time and genuinely works with the acrylic powders to create a unique piece of art on each of his clients. Kiet, Lan, Cristian and Elise all do amazing nails. They are all welcoming to everyone, and anyone who walks into their shop.

    I'm so happy that Kiet is in Burlingame! I've been looking for a nail salon in the area that could do amazing things with nails but the closest was going to San Francisco. I normally just get white tip nails but I am extremely happy with his work. Definitely recommend and will continue going here. I can't remember the woman's name that did my pedicure but she was phenomenal as well! It's very quality work.

    Kiet always does my nails good and I've never had a complaint! They've always come out nice and I've been going for years now If you're looking for a nail place that doesn't make you feel like just a customer this is the place! I felt welcomed the first day I came in years ago and every time I come it's like being around friends. You won't find people faking who they are, you're gonna experience real people, honesty and jokes lol! If you can't deal with that then this place isn't for you. I love coming here, I always leave with nails better than what I had in mind! Not everything is 100% perfect but they are pretty close to being that!

    Cuticles raggedy from reaction to previous work done elsewhere, but my NAILS are ON POINT!!!

    I came in today for a hard gel fill and spa pedicure. I made an appointment which got me seated…read moreright away. All of the employees I interacted with were super friendly. I was asked if my foot bath water was warm enough, and also if I needed a water to drink during my treatment. Their spa chairs have a relaxing massage feature which I took advantage of. I also noticed that all of the nail techs were speaking in English with one another. Candy did an excellent job on my pedicure. She was extremely gentle and very thorough with her painting technique. The spa pedicure comes with a complimentary sugar scrub, paraffin foot wax, and quick hot stone treatment. My toes came out beautiful! Lyly did an incredible job on my hard gel fill. Honestly it was one of the best, if not the best, manicure I've had in a very long time. We noted that the builder gel from my previous service (not from here) was too thick, and she took the time to make sure that didn't happen today. She was meticulous with making sure my nails were the shape I desired as well as matching on both sides. She was very friendly to chat with. Nail services aren't cheap these days, so it's nice to know you're getting the best of the best here for your hard earned money. I highly recommend Candy & Lyly for your nail techs. Love this place!

The location is right off of Burlingame ave, there is street, metered parking all around unless you park on a Sunday, then parking is free! The ambiance is nice, their pedicure chairs have to be my favorite. I've never been in a more comfortable chair that feels and looks luxurious. For a regular gel pedicure, they charge $55 which included a hot stone massage. The lady who did my toes, confirmed if the shape looked good and was patient when I was a little indecisive with which color to go with, which I appreciated. My toes came out great, so much better than what I walked in with! Definitely worth it, if you're looking for a nail salon that offers a relaxing pedicure experience in Burlingame.

    I came in as a walk-in for a gel manicure because this salon looked promising. What I experienced…read moreinstead was painful and honestly upsetting. I was initially seated with one nail tech, I believe his name was Leo, who randomly decided someone else would take over. He didn't go help another client--he just stopped working on me and passed me off, which already felt unprofessional since he sat down few seats down from us just chatting. The second nail tech, Tina, was extremely rough from the start. I had to pull my hand back and say "ow" multiple times. She filed aggressively without checking length or shape and repeatedly filed my actual skin. Halfway through, my fingers were burning. She wasn't wearing gloves so as she was cleaning the polish up, she was using her nails that didn't look clean to dig up my skin and polish. 2nd, The color wasn't what I asked for, but I agreed to it anyway because she kept showing me options that weren't even close to what I requested. I was trying to be respectful and not cause a problem and just settled for this color. Furthermore, the polish application was a mess. She constantly repainted and removed polish on every nail using a buffer, nail file, and even a paper towel. I've never seen nail polish removed that way.. weird. The final result was bumpy, uneven, and sloppy, with polish all over my skin. By the end, both of my thumbs were swollen and slightly bleeding. Instead of stopping, she kept filing my skin and drilling around the sides, making the pain worse. I stayed patient thinking that she'll clean it up properly, but I realized this was truly her final work. At this point, I let her finish and asked for her manager. When I asked to speak to the manager, the nail tech became defensive and started yelling in her own language. I didn't cause a scene and I wasn't rude, but the change in tone was obvious and made me so uncomfortable that I started crying. The manager offered and gave store credit, but that doesn't change the fact that my skin flesh has been filed down multiple times and I left in pain. I walked out with injured fingers and nails that looked extremely sloppy. Please listen to the bad reviews. I'm not sure how this place has a 4-star rating. A nail appointment should never end in pain, and tears. I will never return and wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

I am known for sending Bonnie multiple inspo pics before our appointment and I really appreciate Bonnie takes the time to look at each of them and provides me with her feedback and suggestions. I always end up going with Bonnie's suggestions. I trust her so much that I tell her to surprise me with a design and colors. She understands each of her clients style so her suggestions are made accordingly. I really look forward to my monthly appointments with Bonnie. She is so warm and friendly, the studio has such a welcoming energy. I have recommended people to Bonnie before and everyone raves about her! I even took my mom to see Bonnie when she was visiting and she cannot stop raving about how excellent her work was. She is already planning on seeing Bonnie the next time she is in town. I am always getting compliments on my nails and how amazing they look. People are always asking who I go to. I see Bonnie every 4 weeks and my nails still look flawless at 4 weeks as they did freshly done. I get structured gel manicure with cuticle treatment and design every time. No chipping or lifting! Her studio is in Burlingame and very easy to find (inside Chic beauty salon - in the back room). Parking is easy (metered or 2 hour neighborhood parking). I highly recommend making an appointment with Bonnie!! I promise you that you will fall in love with her work!
