    Chipped gel manicure
    Genevie I.

    On Thursday 09/12/24 was my first time coming to this business. Unfortunately I should've just went to another establishment. My experience at this nail salon was NOT PLEASANT. When I arrived I wasn't greeted I was just asked what I needed done. Before being sat down at the chair to get my feet done I used the restroom and a worker was sitting on the floor eating her lunch right next to the restroom, red flag. That was very unsanitary and unethical. The owner should have designated areas for her employees to eat. The owner clearly doesn't give a dam to have her workers sit on the floor to eat near the bathroom. While the owner ate at an empty nail table. This place looks super cheap inside they tried to make it look expensive but completely looks cheap! From the old drapes and chandler. The service I requested was 1 gel pedicure and 1 gel manicure. No type of conversations between the ladies giving me the nail service. First, the woman doing my feet was new and I was a trial/experiment. She had NO CLUE what to do. The woman doing my manicure constantly told her what to do. I told her from the beginning I wanted my toe nails clipped a tinny bit as my toe nails were grown out and I like them left longer. I asked her to shape my toe nails into square. She stated she understood. As I am looking at the other woman doing my manicure the lady doing my feet cuts my toe nails SO SHORT! And I tell her that I asked for her to clip a tiny bit. She ignored me. I know my feet and I like what I like. My thing is if she didn't know what I meant she should've clarified. Now I'm stuck with short uneven toes nails. I told her she cut to short and she tried to do better on my other foot. The lady who did my gel manicure did good. She gave me a massage after doing my manicure. I've never received that at any salon. I was definitely in pain the next morning she was extremely ROUGH. As I am paying the owner Mimi asked if I was leaving a tip on my card I said yes $5. She's said "only $5 but what about the other girl" I said look at my feet they are uneven you want me to leave a tip for someone who didn't follow instructions? Then she stated she would fix my toes I stated to her "HOW CAN YOU FIX MY TOE NAILS THEY HAVE BEEN CUT ALREADY ARE YOU GOING TO GLUE THEM BACK ON? She went silent and I paid and left very unhappy. Mimi should've done better handling this situation she failed as business owner. As an owner you should handle this in a better manner instead of giving a customer attitude. Not one bit did I give her attitude even though I was NOT happy with her worker's service. Today is Sunday and the gel manicure is already chipping. JUST HORRIBLE. I paid $75 for gel 1 manicure and 1 pedicure. I WILL NEVER EVER GO BACK AND I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. There are multiple negative reviews about this place. No care for clients wants and needs. Do me a favor and don't waste your money with this garbage business.

    I found my new go to nail spot! Theyre super close to me and have THE BEST staff. Everyone is so well trained, the facility is clean and nice, the treatment that come with your service are great. I got a gel mani/pedi which came out to about $78 for both. The color selection was incredible. Theyre very thorough with all their work. What surprised me was at the end of the service, they even gave you a MASSAGE. Like a legit massage!! Even aside from the massage chairs! One time I called in super late 15 mins before they closed and they STILL TOOK ME. Theyre really super nice, caring, and I'll definitely frequent them more often

    Had to take one star off because one of my nails came off in 5 days and I wasn't doin any hard labor :(

    "T" absolutely rocked the pedi game today

    My grandmother has been coming here for years. I tag along occasionally and haven't had a bad experience. It's a typical salon with typical service. However, after my grandmothers triple bypass, and watching how careful they were with her, how caring, how much they helped her in and out of the chair, how they listened so intently to her, I decided to make the drive to bring her here as often as possible. I had the best pedicure today, and found my new favorite lady! It's clean, the bathroom is clean, the chairs are nice and the ladies are awesome. There are a ton of nail salons in CV, but if you come here more than once, chances are Mimi remembers your name.

    I really liked how my nails came out! I have gotten alot of compliments about my nails.

    The ladies were all attentive and friendly.The vibe was great. The service I requested is what I got.

    My Wedding Nails by Mimi... They look beautiful & still do, 6 days later! Mimi always makes my hands look pretty

    I can always count on Mimi to do a superb job on my nails. She's been doing my nails for 15 years (hard to believe it's been that long) so that speaks volumes because let's be honest ladies, and gentlemen, we're picky about our manicure and will go somewhere else if we're not happy. Mimi makes me happy and my nails always look fabulous, I get compliments constantly.

    Gel manicure infection
    Bri P.

    I found this spot closer to home & I thought they did a good job. Well I got cut after this last gel manicure which they applied some green numbing liquid to stop bleeding I guess? Now I've got a painful infection & I won't go back. Update 3/25: my tiny infection got way worse & ended up at the dr for antibiotics, never had this happen to me before & not fun at all. Just be sure sure that your nail tech is using clean supplies

    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.

She made sure to check in with me throughout my appointment to make sure my nails were the length and shape I wanted. She took her time and was attentive to the fine details that are often ignored or overlooked. I will continue to book my gel x with her. See for yourself.

    I've been to see Sam at Nailbox twice now and I'm so happy I found her. I get the builder gel…read moremanicure and pedi, and they last. Like, really last. 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.
