Everyone is super nice and they all do amazing jobs. Highly recommend! The salon is also super aesthetic and quiet.

Great service! Have had a wonderful experience here and all the ladies are so kind and caring. Very calming atmosphere.

I first came to this salon as a walk-in after another salon had completely butchered my nails, and they were able to take me in right away and fix them. I've been coming back ever since! Every time I come in, I leave with my nails looking perfect. The nail techs are always so attentive and check in throughout the appointment to make sure I'm happy with everything. I also really appreciate that they're more than happy to make adjustments if there's ever something I'm not completely satisfied with. I booked an appointment today, which just happened to be their 1-year anniversary of opening! They celebrated by offering complimentary matchas and coffees to their customers that were made to order, along with adorable little gift bags and flowers on the way out. Such a thoughtful touch and such a fun way to celebrate their first year! I absolutely love this salon and the people who work here. They've earned a loyal customer in me, and I'll definitely continue coming back! read more

It pains me to write this review, because although the ladies who did my nails were sweet and my nails came out nice - the experience was not what I expected. It was very chaotic, the music was extremely loud and it was hard to relax. The chair was also really uncomfortable, these chairs need to be upgraded or something needs to be changed. I also felt my pedicure was kind of rushed. During my service I was asked about five times if everything was good by the two receptionists which seemed really excessive during a service. It was too much going on for me. I am also in a lot of pain after this pedicure, manicure because of the chair and feeling really squished in order to make the manicurist have an easier time doing my nails. I am only 5"3, and the manicurist pushed me super closer to her causing a lot of pain to my knees. The pedicure I got was $85, and the gel to remove callus was applied with the paper and plastic rapper used to package the manicuring tools, this was embarrassing at this price point. This is more expensive than the pedicures I get in Palo Alto, and I've never had anyone apply used packaging to my feet to apply callus remover or any products This experience was totally strange and was not giving "Bali Spa Treatment," like they advertised - it was a huge disappointment. A lot of effort was put into aesthetic, but the basic elements of quality service need fine tuning. Also my feet are hurting a lot after they were placed in a dryer for 10 minutes on the pedicure chair in a very awkward position. Everyone was nice but it's too much money to spend to be in pain. Hopefully it is something they can fix for the future, due to the pain I'm in and the haphazard experience I unfortunately won't be able to come back. An Update: It has been less than 24 hours since my appointment, I am in excruciating pain from my services that were done here. Please come here at your own risk if you have any injuries. I was just in recovery and this did the opposite. I was feeling so much better and this made it worse. Please be careful people. read more

I had an amazing first experience at Must Have Nails! The staff welcomes you warmly when you arrive and the space seats a surprising amount of people. They are booked and busy! GelX full set w/ nail art done by Henry and he was so meticulous in getting the perfect shape and design. Didn't feel like I was sitting in the chair for long at all. Highly recommend - I will absolutely be returning. read more

Must Have Nails - hard gel, with a pearly white french tip, with gold stars and small pearl like details. - Nail Salons Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Short story: I was rushed to pick a color and my technician overfilled my nails and left the underside a textured mess. This is a health issue, both because bacteria and fungus can be trapped under the nail and exposure to uncured gel on skin can cause life long allergies. Long story:Unfortunately my experience at Must Have Nails was mixed. The atmosphere was great. Not overpacked, neat, and clean. They offer refreshments and snacks. I felt very rushed to select a color even though I arrived early, and almost settled for a color I didn't really want. Everything else was fine, but the technician overfilled the GelX extensions and didn't tidy them up. I asked twice for more filing under the nail to make them safe (the glue had attached to my fingertips under the nail, which can cause fungus) and comfortable. She obliged but didn't do nearly enough to fix the problem. She told me if I washed my hands the undersides would look smooth. They didn't but I was out of oomph to push further. At least most of my skin was unstuck. The front of the nails look great minus a few teeny tiny bubbles, but the undersides are a mess and look dirty; Hard to clean and visibly choppy. There's even something black trapped in the gel on one underside. I've been carrying a nail brush in my purse because EVERYTHING sticks on the surfaces. I tipped generously because I'm not a monster, but I can't recommend Must Have Nails. read more

Came here to do a Hard Gel Removal that I had done in taiwan. The service is amazing, they take care of the client very well. Very professional, clean, peaceful music. The environment is super organized and they have a very good balance of staffing that explains what they do while the nail tech does your nails at the same time. The quality of the service is excellence. They also offer water and a snack! I had NiNi as my nail tech and she did an amazing job removing the gel. My nails look so good and don't look weak! Highly recommend coming here! I'll be back for a manicure! read more

Went back for a gel builder refill and had the best time with Mia. She was so skilled at making sure my nails looked as natural as possible and she was just a delight to chat with as she took care of my nails. She has a heart of gold. I'm happy to say that I continue to come back to Must Have Nails and have a wonderful experience every time. The vibes are immaculate. And if you get a chance to chat with Chloe she will make your day Update: came back on 5/4 as a walk in and was helped right away Update: 9/15/26 happy to say that I keep coming back. Today Nancy helped me with a builder gel refill and she did a great job and was quick. I prefer to be in an out as quick as possible and the quality of the service was not compromised with the speed. Very grateful for that. They stay consistent with service and always check in to make sure the services were on point. Thank you to everyone at Must Have Nail. read more

I'm not one for almond nails or designs, but I wanted to try it this time, and I'm so happy with how it turned out!

Kayla did such an amazing job on my nails! I have an upcoming wedding at a winery, so I wanted something that matched the warm, elegant winery vibe, and she absolutely nailed it. The quality is beautiful, and I love how much attention she put into all the little details. The cat-eye effect and design came out so pretty and are perfect for the theme. The overall vibe was also super comfortable and welcoming. I'm so happy with how they turned out and can't wait to show them off at the wedding! read more

Our couple's pedicure together and it did NOT disappoint. We tried the Bali in the City Retreat Pedicure at Must Have Nails in Sunnyvale, and it was 100% worth it. We chose the $135 Bali package since i didn't want gel polishcolor or cuticle care, they even gave me an extra 5 minutes of massage, making it 30 minutes total, which i absolutely loved! Such a thoughtful touch. If you're looking for a relaxing date idea or want to treat someone special, I highly recommend it. My boyfriend and i left feeling so relaxed and refreshed.

Such an incredible experience! My friend and I made an appointment for new year for builder gel and it was so amazing! I went in with an inspo nail in mind but was really picky about the color. My nail tech Kim was so wonderful and patient and she let me try on multiple different greens and suggested creative design alternatives. She was so thorough and detailed and intentional throughout the entire process and took her time with the details. I felt soooo well taken care of. We ended up doing a mix of 2 different greens and a white for a jade marble design with Cat eye and also gold accent nails. Loved it so much. I also love that after the nail design and massage she let stay in the seat to chat with my friend and offered more tea and coffee on the house. read more

I'm visiting from SoCal and my sister wanted to try a new nail salon so we stopped by on 12/29/25. She called to make an appointment for her and my mom, but when we arrived, I decided to join in, so three of us ended up requesting to get services done. The owner was nice enough to accommodate with no issues. When we walked in the vibe was definitely relaxing and had a clean aesthetic. It was minimally, but spot on decorated for the holidays with burgundy velvet ribbons throughout the salon. As soon as our services were decided we were then offered drinks and received small waters and traditional madeleines. Nice touch! My sister and I were taken to the spa pedicure chairs where the water was already filling up. The spa chairs were very comfortable and had various back massage options. The salon opened approximately 3-4 months ago so everything was still in pristine condition. Amy started on my gel manicure and then she was switched to complete my gel pedicure and Kim came to finish my gel manicure. The owner was very apologetic about having to make the nail tech switch after my services had already started, but I was totally okay with it since I was a last minute addition. My mom received a gel manicure and she said her nail tech was very gentle, so she loved it. My sister and I both requested a gel pedicure and gel manicure and our nail techs were awesome! Mia and Sandy worked on my sister, while Amy and Kim helped me. They listened to what we wanted and rendered their services professionally. Everything the nail techs did was done in a pleasant manner; they were delicate while being detailed and moved with the right amount of pressure during the leg and arm massages. Our techs made sure we were comfortable every step of the way throughout our visit. My total was $140 for the Touch of Calm Retreat pedicure and the Harmony Glow Retreat manicure, both with gel fees. Including the tip, I paid $175. Overall, this salon provides calm spa feels, played subtle jazzy holiday music in the background and treated patrons with VIP level service for all. Next time I'm in northern Cali visiting family, I'd return. Since it was our first time there, we each received a small gift (hydrating body lotion and CBD massage body oil), which was an unexpected thoughtful surprise. There's plenty of parking, which is a plus. Come check them out if you Must Have Nails... done right! read more

This salon was highly recommended to me so I drove from San Jose to try it out. It was my first time and Kim was friendly, professional, and did an excellent job from start to finish. The salon was very clean, and I appreciated how transparent they were with their pricing. What really stood out was how often Kim checked in throughout my appointment to make sure I was happy with everything. That level of attention made me feel comfortable and well taken care of. I'll definitely be coming back. read more
