I have been getting my nails and waxing done at the Golden Nail Spa since their grand opening 2…read moreyears ago. I have a standing appointment with Amy for the "dip" powder. However, drop ins work very well. I have occasionally been serviced by other staff and I usually like their work too. Im just very loyal to Amy. I dont have pedicures very often and Im choosy about who does them but I have had great experiences with that too. I should say, I am tough on my nails. Usually, they won't hold up well to my abuse- but they do now. When I first came, I was used to the pink and white powder- instead of acrylics. Amy suggested the dip. I have never gone back. My nails grow a lot, they hold up, looks good, and rarely break. I go every 2-3 weeks. Sooner than later is better. Tiffany, the owner, usually does my waxing. Something about the way she does my eyebrows makes them stand out. However, Amy does them too and so have other staff and they have always look good. As for the shop, Tiffany loves to put up beautiful decorations. And she is very very good at it. Every time a new season is coming, she has new decorations going up. Ive noticed they are always fresh, and colorful. This year the Winter theme is pink and I love it already. They were just putting it up recently. It's not loud here. And the employees dont talk to each other in another language a lot when they service you. They mostly dress in a uniform top-focus on you. There is NO TV. And no LOUD music. It's a relaxing experience. They offer you water, mimosas and on special occasions, customary finger foods. During certain holiday seasons, they offer gift products to their clients. I wont even consider another nail shop. I had a pedicure once when I was out of town and decided I wouldn't be doing that anytime soon. Ive been to many places along the years. I have found great places and stayed with them until i moved or they closed. Before I found this place, I had been to many around the area which had all been referred by friends. I found this one on Yelp because of a review about Amy. I am probably wrong but I think Jennifer is at the front desk. Im terrible with names in general. I always love to see her at the front desk- she has great energy and is always smiling and warm. When she isn't there for a while, I kind of panic. She is a part of what makes my visits enjoyable! I'm relieved when they tell me she is on vacation. They tend to be busy. And tend to run a bit late for appointments- when I go. So I dont go when I have to be out at an exact time. But nail shops can't really estimate exact times. And occasionally we mix up appointments. But that is not their standard. And I dont care because the other shops dont have the package they have for me. Their prices are competitive- I am not looking for the cheapest prices. I will add pictures from the them next time I'm there. You should go.

One of the things I truly appreciate is that they are mostly appointment-only, which means you get quality work without feeling rushed in and out to accommodate walk-ins. The shop has a relaxing, mini spa-like atmosphere, and they offer a beautiful selection of colors to choose from. The owners are very kind and clearly take pride in running a great business. If you're looking for a place where you feel valued and not rushed, I highly recommend giving them a try.

I am not great on the phone so using massive text for someone has awkward as me really takes some of the pressure off of tripping over my words! They have a great color selection and when I sent them my inspo they made a wonderful color recommendation! They also DO NOT do nail art for gel manicures without the gel extension, but for a little squiggly line on a couple fingers - they were able to accommodate! They are definitely more pricey than the other places I've been in the area, but honestly I'm pretty happy with their work and didn't feel like bailing at any point during the session. The environment is also calm, quiet, and relaxing - so it was just such a wonderful treat to get away. For both manicure and pedicure, plus a little squiggle it cost $100, then another $20 for tip so I'm glad only get my nails done maybe 3 times a year lol. This is definitely the spot!

I've been coming to this Today's Nails in Millbrae for years , and it truly feels like coming home…read more Rose, Nancy, and Helen are not just nail technicians to me -- they feel like family. I've watched them work hard year after year, always honest, kind, and genuinely grateful. Their service has consistently been good, and more importantly, it's always been from the heart. They remember their customers, they care, and they take pride in what they do. Like so many small businesses, they were hit hard by COVID and haven't fully bounced back -- and that's exactly why I make it a point to support them as often as I can. They deserve it. They are hardworking, humble, and appreciative in a way you don't see everywhere anymore. If you're looking for a place where you're treated like a person, not just another appointment, this is it. I truly hope more people discover (or rediscover) them and help keep this little salon going strong. They've been there for me for years -- and I'll continue to be there for them.

Emily was also very friendly and helped me choose a beautiful combination of two cat-eye nail polish colors, which turned out absolutely stunning! The price was very reasonable for the quality and service. It was my first time visiting this salon, and I was impressed by how clean the space was. Another big plus was that there was no strong chemical smell like you often notice in nail salons. Overall, a great experience, and I will definitely be coming back next time!

The atmosphere is great, but unfortunately, I have to share a cautionary note regarding their pedicure services. During my appointment, the technician worked very deep into the corners of my toenails. While she was able to remove an ingrown nail on my left foot, the pressure and digging were quite painful. On my right big toe, there was a moment where she was working on the side and had to stop suddenly. By the weekend, my right toe was severely inflamed, and I ended up at urgent care. I am now on a course of antibiotics for an infection, sadly needing to taking them during my vacation. I truly appreciate how kind the team is, but I would urge the salon to be more cautious with how aggressively they handle ingrown edges to prevent these kinds of medical issues for future clients.

I've been coming to Diva Nails in Millbrae for about a year, mainly to see Son. I was very loyal to…read morehim and referred many people (my mom sister other sister MIL sister in law friends etc.) because he was fast and, at one point, consistent. Unfortunately, ever since he became the manager/owner, the quality of his work has noticeably gone downhill. I decided to stick around because I understood he might be overwhelmed, but the experience just kept getting worse. Sitting in his chair now feels rushed and stressful. It's like he just wants to get you in and out as quickly as possible, regardless of quality. He gave me three sets that I didn't like. On the fourth visit, I finally spoke up because it was a French tip that wasn't done well. He spent maybe five extra minutes fixing it, and that apparently was too much. The unspoken rule seems to be that you're not allowed to spend more than 30 minutes in his chair. When I tried to make an appointment again, he told me not to come back. I find this extremely disappointing and unfair, especially to customers who were loyal for years and supported him by sending business his way. Being fast shouldn't come at the cost of quality or basic respect for paying customers.
