First time at Maison De Nails. It looks to be a grand re-opening according to the sign! Jessica is my go to technician for nails so I followed her recommendation on coming to this location. She always delivers beyond what I had in mind, and the fill is so clean and even every time. Over the 5 past months of her doing my nails since I found her, she really understands the look and feel that I want. We've tried gel x, builder gel, and powder. So far we both agreed that powder suits my nails the best. I also got a pedicure with Tiffany this time, and she treated me with so much care. The finish looked flawless. Tiffany spent so much time meticulously cutting my cuticles! Together they made my hands and feet look so cohesive and put together. If you want technicians who really care about how your nails turn out, they'll take care of you! My previous nail salon was on the pricey side but I'm so happy to have found a more affordable salon without missing out on the quality work! read more

I came here to try a new nail salon instead of my usual spot, and sadly I was disappointed. I got a gel overlay on July 24th. Unfortunately, one of my nails broke on Monday night, and I didn't have time to come back until Thursday to get it fixed. I do appreciate that they fixed it for free and got me in and out quickly. However, the repaired nail didn't match the rest of my nails. Ironically, I actually liked the color they used on the repaired nail more than the original nail bed color they had applied. Another thing I noticed both times I came was that I felt a little rushed. At my regular salon, they take their time and really pay attention to the small details, like making sure every nail is shaped consistently and everything looks even before I leave. That's something that's really important to me, and I just didn't get that same experience here. Now it's only been about two weeks, and I'm already noticing issues. I normally get my nails done every two weeks, but they usually still look great by then. At my regular salon, they easily last four weeks without breaking. Between the durability, the shape, and the overall quality, it just wasn't what I'm used to. I'm very picky about my nails, and I'd rather pay around $100 knowing I'm going to love them and that they'll last. I came here hoping to try a new place and save a little money, but unfortunately it just didn't work out for me. I do appreciate that they fixed my broken nail at no charge, but I won't be coming back. I'll be sticking with my usual nail salon from now on. Every time someone recommends I try a new place, it never seems to work out for me. read more

I have followed Jessica to her new place, and couldn't be more excited about it. She is so amazing with doing my nails, it's comparable to Russian manicures where you really get your cuticles and shapes done with high attention to detail. Jessica is also really talented with design, and quick. She is careful with my natural nails by not filing rnedown instead just buffing them which I prefer much more. The new place is cozy, clean and very cute. They have a huge selection of nail polishes. And the pricing is also much better than most places especially for the quality of service offered! I have done both gel x manicures as well as regular pedicure and I will be coming back. read more

First time at Maison De Nails and the service and quality was exceptional. Everyone was so sweet and welcoming. I love that they have remodeled the place and it feels like a spa where to relax. My Gel pedicure was done by Jessy & my Gel manicure by Ann, they both did a great job. Recommend to check them out. read more

Hippo nail bar - Gel Manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

Small shop with affordable prices. I came last week when they were having their 20% off promo. I got a gel-x manicure, half chrome with polka dots and half cat eye with polka dots. The owner did my nails and he was very patient with me, I couldn't decide if I wanted to do the same design for both hands, so he painted test fingers with a cat eye and the chrome powder. They are a little short staffed, the owner stepped away to fill the foot bath for a pedicure for another guest. I would come here again to get a mani or pedicure, but I would ask for the owner if I wanted nail designs. read more

Today was the last time I'll be a customer at Maison De Nails. I texted Dan saying I just wanted to come in for a builder gel removal that I got done here a month ago. Amy was my nail tech. She kept trying to pressure me into getting a manicure service while I was there. She kept telling me how paper thin my nails are and that she "recommends" that I get a gel manicure. It took all of 15 minutes to remove the builder gel and it cost me $20! She trimmed my nails down and they are all uneven and one even broke! I used to love coming to this location when it was Happy Garden Nail Spa. It's upsetting to have to write this review... read more

Unfortunately I can not recommend this nail salon. They do not value their customers time. I've tried this salon twice, both times with an appointment but was still made to wait 45 minutes each time with my 85 yr old MIL. No thanks. read more

I recently came here for a gel manicure/pedicure. I booked online and it was easy to get a time slot. The website is a bit confusing as it doesn't confirm which services were requested if you choose more than 1. When I arrived, I was able to confirm both services and was helped right away. Both of the ladies who helped me were very nice. They asked for my preferences, but left me to relax and enjoy the time there. I was offered a drink and snacks as well. While the ladies were nice and friendly - the quality of service was somewhat lacking. My pedicurist was very intent on making sure my toes were clean - so much so that I was cut in a few places. I noticed that it stung while I was there, but didn't realize I was cut until I noticed it pink at home. She also kept placing the lamp edge on my nails and leaving marks that needed to be fix by someone else later. My manicurist did a great job cleaning up my nails/cuticles, but the shaping/polish left a lot to be desired. There were dents in almost all of my nails where the brush was pressed a bit too hard. Overall - it was a relaxing experience for when I was there, but I'm looking for something. read more

Dan has given me two beautiful manicures now. I've included photos below. I've been experimenting with floral nails for my wedding. Both times I gave him a photo and he just made it happen. The second time (the lilies) the photo was ai generated and I said he didn't need to match the picture perfectly. He did SUCH a lovely job, though, and really got the spirit of the picture. Dan is incredibly calm and patient and was able to handle my sometimes challenging cuticles without any issues. I would happily get more manicures from him. I also received a pedicure from Anne the first time I went in which was relaxing and looks lovely. The shop is calm and pleasant. Parking is easy. It was very affordable. read more

Madison De Nails is amazing! I first went in to get my nails done, and Tammy was so efficient, professional, and kind. While I was there, she suggested that I try a facial as well. I decided to come back the following week for the facial, and I'm so grateful I did! I am genuinely so happy with the results. I could see such a noticeable difference in my skin afterward, and it looked fresher, smoother, and more refreshed. The before-and-after pictures speak for themselves! Thank you so much, Tammy, for your professionalism, attention to detail, and wonderful service. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend Madison De Nails!" read more

Very great service. Pedi was amazing. Everyone very kind and professional. I would recommend this place. Also waxing is great. read more

This place was previously Happy Garden and we loved going there because it felt very personal. It wasn't like the newer, more upscale nail salons in the area -- it had a warm and familiar feel, and it was always the same three ladies working and they had a cute dog walking around which my daughter sets this salon apart from the other ones, everything just made it special to us. I'm honestly a bit sad to see the rebrand and all the changes. I had an appointment scheduled for 3:30 PM, but unfortunately had to leave at 4 PM without getting my nails done because of the long wait just to be seated, and I had dinner reservations that evening. read more

Amy and Dan did a great job on my manicure and pedicure gel. It was my first time for this place. I used to go other nail salon but it is closed and I was looking for a new place and I left several messages to the various nail salons on Yelp and Dan was the first one who responded to my message. Their service was exceptional and place was clean and nice. read more

Wonderful personalized attention. New management were attentive and personable. Service was excellent.

I recently moved to west San Jose and needed to get a new nail tech since my old one moved away. I've gotten my nails done here twice acrylic sets twice as well as two gel pedicures. The first time I had my nails done was before the new managament took over, it was a younger female with a bad impatient attitude and my nails didn't last. I came back and DAN fixed my nails and did a great job. He did my nails the next time too and I love them! He is professional and patient. No issues with my gel pedicures they are always great. I like this nail salon better after the new management came in. If you are coming during the weekend I recommend coming early or calling ahead of time to set an appointment or check on wait time. read more

I recently went in for a wax specifically for my eyebrows and was honestly so impressed with my results. After looking in the mirror, I looked like a different person. The name of the person who did my service was Tammy I believe. She also did a facial on me which I felt really good after. I love her skills with waxing and facial, so I definitely will recommend this place to my friends. read more

I have been coming here to see Tina and her wonderful friendly crew for 5 years now and will never go anywhere else! I even come with my husband every month now.

I feel absolutely pampered whenever I come for my monthly new set! She even has complimentary snacks and drinks, offering coffee & various drinks! read more
