I have been to must have nails three times and the first two times I came out loving my nails, Natalie does 5 star work. Unfortunately today there was no availability with natalie and i had Luna do my nails. I showed her what i wanted which was pink french tip but I told her i wanted them to be super square and sharp. I came out with chunky round looking nails and a sloppy looking french tip. If she did not feel confident in being able to do what i showed her in the photo I wish she had been honest about it before starting to do them, it would have saved us both our time. I want to cry at how bad they look and I have a hard time telling a nail tech when i hate the nails especially in front of the rest of the clients. I cant believe I still paid for them and left her a tip. I had my nails done for a trip and now im stuck with these nails. **update** Thankful that Natalie was able to fit me in to get my nails repaired right away the next day. I appreciate the quick response! I will definitely keep coming here because overall the staff is very kind and understanding. I posted updated photos after Natalie fixed my 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

The overall salon has such cute decor and I love the ambiance. My set was a little pricey but for the quality and attention to detail I'm not complaining! My nail tech Natalie was amazing! She did such a great job with the details on my nails! I'm so happy with the outcome! I would def comeback again! read more

It is always great to discover a local business that fits my busy schedule! I found this gem nail salon while looking for a last-minute Sunday pedicure and was thrilled to see that they open at 9:00am (earlier than other nail shops)! I made reservation online just 30 minutes before they opened without a problem. The location is very convenient with plenty of parking and a Starbucks right next door. I was greeted warmly by Chloe and paired with Philip for my pedicure. He was wonderful, sweet, gentle, and very detail-oriented. I'm so glad I discovered this spot. I'll definitely be asking for Philip next time and I look forward to becoming a regular! PS - Prices are very reasonable. Place was clean and I observed good cleaning/ sanitizing after each customer. 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! I did builder gel for the first time, showed and inspo pic, and asked for little tweaks here and there. My natural nails feel so strong and healthy, and it's been a week and I've only gotten compliments! Highly recommend :) read more

Thanks to all the Yelp reviewers: I am so impressed by Must Have Nails! My appointment is at 4pm on a weekday. Chloe is so sweetly welcoming and checking me in. The studio is modern, cozy, and so clean (like the light woody style), with a soothing music calming my mind. Each customer gets an individual plate for all the products used (photo attached). Kevin, who spent 50+ minutes on doing my pedicure, is so detailing, gentle, and nice. Thank you, Chloe and Kevin! I will definitely come back (with friends)! read more

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 just came back from getting a pedicure here and wanted to leave a review before I forgot. This place has only been open 6 months, but I hope they do well!!! Helen was absolutely incredible. The care and attention she put into nail prep alone had me impressed from the start. Chloe at the front desk was warm and welcoming. Great first impressions and great nails? We love to see it. The salon itself is super clean, adorably cute, and parking is a breeze. They had plenty of colors for me to choose from and the music selection was chef's kiss! 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

Always super clean and staff is friendly! read more

Must Have Nails - Builder gel with design + gems - Nail Salons Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

After hearing raves about this place on TikTok, I had to give it a try! I was pleased to find out that they do cat-eye designs and have a variety of jelly-style nail polishes as well. I booked my appointment, and they texted me ahead of time to let me know they were running behind, which I really appreciated. Other nail salons sometimes have you waiting without notice, so I appreciated the great communication from this salon. When I walked in, I was immediately seated and offered water and a snack. They had instrumental music playing in the background that gave Bridgerton vibes (iykyk). After signing in, Luna, my nail technician, got to work. She did almond-shaped builder gel nails with pink cat-eye polish. She was very detailed and always asked if everything was to my liking. Overall, they turned out amazing! I'm so glad I tried this salon, and I definitely recommend that you do too! read more

First time at Must Have Nails and the service and atmosphere were amazing! Luna did my nails and she was detail oriented, did exactly what i asked for and was so nice to work with! The whole team were welcoming and the place is overall relaxing and aesthetically pleasing and clean as well. Will definitely be back! read more

I have been getting my nails done for over a decade (not very frequently though). I used to get cheap acrylic nails done by a random lady next to my high school & the nails were rarely uniform and were pretty thick. I loved them. Basically, that's to say that I didn't really have many expectations getting my nails done as an adult. I found Must Have Nails on Yelp, and since they had so many positive reviews, I bit the bullet and booked for today at 13:30. There was some sort of scheduling error & the woman at the front asked to see my confirmation (thankfully it was correct, or I would've disintegrated from embarrassment lmao). The women all kept apologizing, but I wasn't in any sort of rush, so I happily waited. My appt finally started at around 13:45-13:50. Also, the entire salon had relaxing music, nobody was speaking too loudly or anything, and there was such a lovely smell the entire time. The tech who did my nails today was Luna. She initially started off kind of shy, but once I started talking about animals with her, she excitedly showed me a picture of her dog, and we chatted about different animal-related things. I opted to do Gel-X, since I love how thin and natural they look. The entire time Luna and I were chatting. She didn't take her eyes off my nails and thoroughly worked on them and focused on them while still maintaining conversation. I had a design in mind, but more so as just a guideline, and told Luna she could have creative freedom to do what she liked. She very effortlessly worked and the final product, to me, outdid the reference photo I showed her, which is incredible! I also appreciated that, after applying and shaping my nails, but before doing any design, Luna went over the price with me. That shows there was no chance of random added-on charges (and actually, she ended up making it lower than anticipated!). I paid via Venmo and also was able to tip Luna directly with the app. Since it was my first visit, they also gave me a cuticle oil! It was overall a bit pricey, but in my opinion, the price absolutely matches the quality. All in all, I will absolutely be going here again! Maybe after saving up a lil, but still! read more

Rating this a 5 stars for the quality of my nails + excellent service + ambiance. Salon is def on the pricier side - my gel mani was $80 but you pay a premium for the luxe amenities - super aesthetic studio, high quality materials and seats, + 5 star treatment. The quality of the gel mani I will say is excellent - looks perfect with no signs of chipping after a week. The studio itself is one of the prettiest nail salons i've ever seen and the workers there are super sweet and greet you with a little snack and water! I also like that they provide you with a cute wooden phone holder so you can scroll tiktok while waiting for your gel mani. read more

Must Have Nails is the best nail salon in my opinion. The salon is very aesthetically pleasing and has a cool yet calm vibe to it. I came in one morning for a mani appointment and I was the only one there so I ended up deciding to get a pedi too. It was so relaxing! Nancy gave me my gel pedicure and she gave the most amazing leg and foot massage. My muscles and feet were so fatigued from exercise, and Nancy gave me a real massage with excellent technique. Some nail techs just rub the lotion in but Nancy's massage was SO GOOD! Natalie did my mani nails and she is so skilled. She always gives me the perfect shape, length, and design I ask for. I had seen another girl get a nail set design at Must Have Nails on their insta, and I asked for something similar. Natalie delivered on the design and color choices. She exceeded my expectations. I love it here! I feel rejuvenated and my nails are so cute. read more

I really liked this salon the first time I came, they did such a cute polka dot French tip design for me! This time I came in for a fill and chose a simple ombré design. I thought it would be quick and easy, but it ended up taking about two hours. Since the ombré wasn't coming out quite right, I switched to a pink cat-eye design instead. I'm happy with how my nails turned out! the color is super pretty, and the customer service was great. They even served me Nespresso coffee and cookies, which was such a nice touch. I just wish they could do ombré designs more smoothly and be a little quicker with the process overall. read more

Super cute nail salon! I found this place on instagram and made an appointment. They were very nice to greet you once you enter the salon. They also serve you a madeleine and a water bottle. They only opened a few months ago so the salon is very new. The interior is super cute. Very nice chairs and lighting fixtures, Very calm and welcoming ambiance. I got both a gel x mani and a gel pedicure. Natalie did my nails and Hana did my toes. The nails turned out so cute. Natalie was very accommodating with my nail design requests. She perfectly executed my nails. I will be returning. My foot massage and pedicure turned out great as well. Hana did a great job painting my toes and massaging them. Since it was a soft opening, I got a 10% discount on my nails and a 15% discount on my toes. Overall I paid $172! Pretty reasonable pricing for both a pedicure and manicure experience. Overall this was a great experience and I will be back read more

I wanted to update my review. I made an appointment to get gel x for my second visit here. I booked online with Natalie. When I arrived at my appointment time, I checked in, gave them my name and the worker told me a few minutes wait. For a Friday, they were busier and much busier than the Friday I was there the first time. I waited for about 15 minutes and another worker, I believe may have been the owner, asked me for my name and asked if she could help me. I told her I had an appointment at 5pm and I assume they are running behind. I finally got seated and I showed the technician my photo and what I wanted. I had another meeting after and didn't want to be late, since online the appt time scheduling said it was an hour 15 min for gel x. But she did get it done with an hour, however I felt like there were things that were not done during my service. She didn't wipe the nail dust under my nails and I have a build up which made my nails look "dirty". I tried to wash off but it stuck and I'll have to wait till next time to get it removed. Overall, the nails from the top look great, but I was annoyed that I had to wait for 15 minutes and gave my name twice which I felt like they didn't check in on me. read more

My new go-to nail spot! Saw this pop up on tiktok and what drawn me in was the aesthetics and overall ambience. I was also looking for a new salon so this was perfect timing. Once you walk in, it absolutely felt warm and bright. The pop instrumental music makes it even more cozier and inviting. The owner is super friendly along with all her staff! They even give a snack/water while waiting which I appreciated it. Natalie did my nails twice and both times she did amazing! She's super gentle, takes her time, and pays lots of attention to detail. I didn't feel rushed and felt like I could relax and enjoy my experience. This time I opted for a chrome polka dot design and she nailed it! They also have a wide range of colors from cat eye, jelly, gel, etc. Another lady also did my pedicure as they were offering 30% for their soft opening and she also did an amazing job. I never felt so relaxed at a salon and appreciated all the details and gestures that were put into their new salon. They also have Aesop soap at the sink (my fav). Highly recommend. Thank you must have nails!! read more

Brought a group of 5 girlies here to get their manis & pedis done for a surprise early bachelorette gift and it was supper amazing! Staff was super friendly and super sweet, and made an effort to put us all near each other! That can be so difficult to do when you're coming on the weekend, so I appreciate the thought. (I was only getting a mani and everyone else was getting a pedi so they let me sit in the comfy chairs to be close to my friends). The place was overall really clean and well kept! They also gave us a choice of tea, water, or coffee during our service and some snacks as well. I loved that! Luna, thank you for your amazing service! You were so attentive and precise in replicating my inspo design!!! I really appreciated how thorough you were! read more

For my birthday, my daughter treated me to a Pedicure Package that includes massage, feet mask and different oil/cream scrub at Must Have Nails salon. It was the first time that I received such wonderful treatment. After an hour and a half, my feet and legs felt so soft and my mind was lifted . It was truly relaxing . The ambience is very nice, the deco is simple yet elegant, the chair was comfy. Everyone was polite and courteous. The whole thing really elevated the experience, especially with KIM, my nail tech. She was very attentive, professional and thorough. She's done a fantastic job rejuvenating my "boring" and dried feet/legs. I couldn't be more pleased ! The receptionist , Chloe, was pleasant . She served me beautiful champagne and chocolates as part of the package. At the end, the manager, Natalie, came over and gently checked on customer service to make sure I was satisfied. What a team! Thank you Must have Nails ! read more

I've been going to Naomi before she even opened this salon and have been a loyal customer for years due to her attention to detail, professionalism, quality of work and truly how much she cares about her clients. It was no surprise that when she opened this salon she would transfer those qualities into her salon. The moment you walk in you are immediately greeted by her kind staff checking you in and giving you a drink and treat. The salon, extremely well kept, beautiful and clean. The quality of work continues, they'll always pay close attention to every little thing. I go to Naomi primarily and I'm extremely picky on the length, design, cuticle care, shape and thickness and let me tell you Naomi delivers! The ladies who do my pedicure are as caring and great. They make you feel great and pampered all times. Naomi goes above and beyond for many reasons, even if you aren't her client she's always there paying attention and making sure everyone feels good and everything is up to standards. I moved to SF and do the hour commute every 2-3 weeks (I like to change my color) if I'm able to, shows truly how much I love the work here. read more

I've gone here every month since January, so that's a total of 5 services. I specifically booked with Naomi and even worked my schedule to ensure I'm able to book with her even when offered other techs. Came in with a friend which I referred and I showed her my inspo. Something really simple this time. She passed me off to another nail tech who would start my service and she would "finish it off". She mentioned she was on her lunch and would be back. Salon was empty, you knew a client had booked with you - so now, at 2pm is when you need to take lunch? I don't know if it's because it was a simple nail? Regardless; that was a turn off to me and I won't be coming back. read more
