I needed to find a nail salon where i could become a regular, for both manicures and pedicures. I…read moreno longer want to handle these tasks on my own. I had initially been referred to Bliss Nails on Fletcher Parkway at Jackson Drive. However, when I went there on a Tuesday with a 2:00 pm appointment, it was jammed and the sour man at the door did not make a good impression. Accordingly, I walked out on that day. That brings me to the Nail Studio of San Carlos. It is located directly next to a Starbucks Coffee House I like to visit. One day as I was leaving Starbucks, I looked up and noticed the nail Studio San Carlos. I had a walk in pedicure and everything was perfect. I have since become a regular at the Nail Studio of San Carlos. My technician is Wendy ("Hang") and she is wonderful. Very efficient, and she does a perfect job on both my manicures and pedicures. In addition, Kevin, at the door on the weekends, offers a very gracious welcome. Be sure to pay your respects to the statues of the two gods placed on a lower shelf on the little table to the left of the check-in desk!

They did an ok job. Would have been nice to have felt pampered instead of as a body in a seat. Sometimes it's the little things that make a difference. For example not having to ask twice to have a bottle of water (they were kind enough to provide) opened while my nails dried. Or if you say your going to provide something for the feet so pedicure isn't ruined provide it vs dessert ing the customer as you're eager to close early. One person did my hands and one did my feet. They chit chatted with each other the entire time basically ignoring me. So , treating myself' did not quite feel as special as expected. Overall the service was ok and my nails look good but the experience was not as it has been in the past nor as anticipated. Go when you want a decent mani or pedi and bring cash.

This place is the best neighborhood salon with so many longtime customers…read more I have a monthly appointment to get a gel mani pedi with callus scrub and parrafin. HOLLY does my mani and is so fast and efficient. Every month, I get compliments about the different designs (I always pick a nude base so the regrowth isn't noticeable). THUY does my pedicure and she is the best at massaging my calves. She also really takes her time to clean up my cuticles and scrub off the calluses I have from walking a ton. After coming to the salon for 10yrs now, I was even able to convince my boyfriend to try a professional pedicure for the first time. He now comes with me for a monthly pedicure with DAISY. She always has the best smile on her face is gentle and efficient.

Friendly & accommodating!…read more Popped in last-minute on a busy Saturday with my mom for a mani-pedi and they squeezed us right in. We both got the Deluxe Manicure and Spa Pedicure Plus. Both services were reasonably priced. The spa is small but clean and bright. The staff were friendly, and there's plenty of parking right outside. The only minor hiccup was a brief communication mix-up (English isn't everyone's first language here), but once I clearly restated that we wanted pedicures too, they immediately moved us into a booth, and took excellent care of us. Overall, a solid, no-fuss experience. Great for a quick, affordable pamper session. I would definitely return!

The owner and her family are incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive. From my very first visit, they went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and happy with my pedicure. Their attention to detail and genuine care really stood out. During that visit, I met one of their longtime customers who had nothing but wonderful things to say about the salon. She recommended that I try a dip powder manicure instead of gel, and I'm so glad I took her advice--I've been beyond happy with the results ever since! I've recommended Ohana Nails to everyone I know who lives nearby because they truly deserve the support. If you're looking for a nail salon with excellent service, beautiful work, and a warm, family-friendly atmosphere, I highly recommend Ohana Nails!

This salon was nice for a basic and cheap pedicure. If you're someone who isn't fancy about your…read morenails but just want a little pampering without breaking the bank, this is a good place to try. It's a bit more old-fashioned - instead of folders of colors to choose, you select from their wall of polishes, many of which looked old. They have lots of well-worn towels and mismatched decor, so it looks a little rundown. But the ladies were nice and efficient. I went with my teenage daughter who doesn't prefer cutting her cuticles, which they respected. But then didn't offer any massage or scrubs for her either, which I was surprised by. The lady who did my pedicure offered a really great massage and scrub. Overall, it's a great time if you're looking to save on the experience and lower your expectations compared to other salons. I'm not a fancy nail person and don't use gel polish, so I like it for what I'm looking for. Will be back!

The salon looked clean, and parking was easy. My pedicure was decent, though it felt a bit rushed. The older lady who helped me was kind, but she only went over my heels once--and very lightly--so it didn't feel as thorough as I expected. For the full set, the person who started my nails handed me off to a man to finish without saying anything. It wasn't a big issue, but a little courtesy would've been appreciated. Overall, the vibe in the salon didn't feel very attentive, possibly because it was a Saturday around 5:00 pm. Still, for the convenience, I'll come back for my fill and another pedicure.

Not a good lash experience. Cindy arrived for the appointment late. She rushed in and told me to…read morelay on the table as she removed her sun glasses and placed her cell phone on her lap. I asked if she needed a minute to settle herself and prepare the room and she said no. I then asked her to wash her hands prior to starting (as she would be touching my face and since she just came in and hadn't prepared the room or anything...and I don't know where her hands had been just before she arrived). She gave me attitude but I asked her again, and even said, "or use hand sanitizer." She grudgingly went to the bathroom, turned on the water for 3 secs, loudly grabbed paper towels, balled them up and returned. So, it was clear that hands were not washed. At this point, I'm regretting the decision to have given this place a try despite some of the negative experiences I've read about. But, I decided to make the best and see if it can be a good experience after all. She begins, and does not clean or prep my lashes...AT ALL. She puts tape on my undereye area, sticks some things on my forehead and starts applying the lashes. When I told her that I noticed she didn't put anything on before starting, she told me that she doesn't use anything because they contain alcohol which isn't good. After a few minutes, she takes my hand, puts a fan in it, telling me to hold it there for a bit and that I'm done. I said, what? I look at the clock and it's been 7 minutes. Yes, SEVEN minutes!!! I tell her that I have never had my lashes done in seven minutes. She told me that she's fast and that she's been doing lashes for 15 years. Once I get up and look in the mirror, my lashes on the right side are not straight. She said it was because my natural lashes were curly. I told her I've had my lashes done plenty of times and have never had that issue. I had to ask several times for her to fix it. To her credit, she did finally have me lay back down to correct the visibly crooked placement. But the final product was definitely below standard. I was in and out in under 30 minutes (mind you, we started late). When I got home, I looked in my magnifying makeup mirror. The lashes are sloppily applied and glue chucks are visible and can be seen on my eyelid. I definitely won't be going back.
