The amount of skill and concentration it takes to dip powder and Thuy possess that skill. As always she's a great conversationalist. This is my first time getting dip powder nails and I'm impressed. She also did my pedicure and loved the service for that as well. She's been my go to nail technician for the past - - years now and I'd recommend her to anyone. Happy holidays Thuy and thanks again!

I was so thankful I found someone who actually takes time and care into my nails it seems like everyone rushes these days but Thuy takes time to make sure you are getting a quality service She's really friendly too and easy to make conversation with

Thuy was able to give me the exact nails I wanted!! thank you so much. They are so perfect! Definitely book Thuy for all your nail needs!

Best service ever by any nail salon! Thuy is very nice polite and professional. Nails came out very nice. I rate 5/5 stars! Powder dip is the newest trend and I had to try it. Very great birthday treat.

THUY GIVES ME LIFE. LITERALLY. Earlier in the week I had gone to a different salon to get a new set of acrylics. I really wanted stiletto nails, but this other salon had done quite a botched job. I tried to convince myself I liked them because of how much I paid, but I really did not like them. I was so unsatisfied, I was looking for another nail place, and thank god Thuy had a cancellation the day I called her. She literally answered my prayers. First, Thuy is located at the back of Hair International at the Stanford Shopping Center. It's a nice secluded area away from the rest of the salon, and I felt welcomed by Thuy right away. She asked me what my nails had looked like earlier because I called her telling her how much I hated the nails from the other salon. After, she asked what I wanted, and I told her that I wanted pointed nails and referred to pictures from her Yelp page. I honestly cannot even explain in words how amazing this woman is. I'm still on a nail high right now because of how in love I am with Thuy's customer service and skill at nails! She gently took of my acrylics, filed with precision, and has the best aesthetic eyes. She took care of me so well, I'm shook. She's also the most wonderful woman to talk to, so open and genuine. I've never had the experience of chit chatting with a manicurist until today. One thing that I will take away from Thuy is that because she works on her own, you know she is driven by hard work and the satisfaction of her clients. She is not pressured in any way and makes sure her clients walk away with amazing nails. I walked away smiling ear to ear because of my experience today. I'm sold. I'm a regular!

Thuy the Nail Artist gives me my designer nails for the designer girl ;) - J Versace Here is the 411 I've been getting nails done for yrs . I tried a couple places in the area did not last after a week lifting . I went back they said I have bad nails (which I have never been told). I take very good care of my nails felt frustrated so I decided to go back home to SF to have them done Things u usually expect when getting nails done 1. Nails grind down with electric file 2. Cuticles cut 3.Smell of chemicals 4. Not fully polished (a gap leaving a little moon by the cuticle ) 5. Changing the price saying well I did more or nail longer so I have to charge you more afterwards feel pressure on your nail from them filing not being happy with end result My mom convinced me to try one last time. she called Thuy poor her my mom grilled her about how she does nails asked her a million questions then made an appointment. Well I ended up taking her appointment & when I got there I told her how long I've been getting my nails done she completely understood & was kind as could be. I walked out being very impressed, It felt as if I didn't even have nails done, my acrylic nails looked as we're done with perfection. so natural & they were shaped correctly. the true test was days after and the end result nails were not lifting they still looked as perfect as the day they were done The way she sculpts nails guaranteeing they look natural & they're strong That's what you want nail sculpted & to be strong especially for someone thats hard on nails taking apart computers & always cleaning My list above that says things to expect when getting your nails done, when it comes to Thuy none of those things apply when she does your nails. If I could I would give her more than five stars she is a nail genius couldn't be happier. You want your nails done anywhere in the peninsula call Thuy make an appointment go get your nails done by a true artist an professional. & That's coming from a perfectionist from SF

Had to do the Crome nail look and I LOVE IT!  THANK YOU THUY

I called Thuy and was lucky enough to get a same-day appointment. I'd never gotten my nails done from her before, but she was extremely welcoming and provided the best service I've had while getting my nails done. She also paid attention to the smallest details to make sure that my nails are exactly how I asked. It was also my first time getting nail art and I'm so glad I went to her. Best place I've been to!

My nails turned out stunning! Within the 8 months I've been living in the Bay Area she is by far the BEST. No exaggeration. I say this because she has amazing customer service skills does a fabulous job and charges a very affordable price. She accepts cash, checks, and venmo. Nails by thuy is Located inside of international hair (in the back right of the salon). I do recommend scheduling an appointment a couple days ahead though. I'm definitely going to return to Nails by thuy!

Amazing!!! Thuy really took care of my nails. I called last minute in the morning and she took my booking which is really great as its the day before NYEs and most places are booked out. She did an wonderful job getting the right color that i wanted. She was kind and chatted with me which was really nice. I've seen her on yelp a few times but never got the chance to book. Im really happy with my nails and will be coming back soon!

WOW. It's been a long time since I've written a review! But this place has brought me back lol…read more I have always wanted to get my nails done, but honestly a little nervous - spoiler alert, I am a man. Or at least I try to be Anyway, my plan was to go here to get something subtle, but it was actually recommend to me to just get a cut, clean up the cuticles, and I guess "buff" the nails? (Not sure of the terminology) The nail techs are super nice and the work is amazing but I mostly love the vibe. The place is gorgeous and the owner is super nice So I guess I'm back on yelp - every time I try to get out, they puuull me back in hahaha In short, this place is awesome, the techs are super good and the owner is super sweet. Thank you Meew!

If I could give negative stars to rate this nail salon quality and management, I would!…read more The first thing that happened after I had been going to Meew for about a year was, I went to checkout after my service one day and noticed that my total was $55 less that day. I asked the receptionist why and she looked at my service history and saw that I had been being over charged for a different service that whole time. When I reached out to the owner Anna to have her review my past services and issue me a credit towards future appointments she kept pushing me off, saying "I will look tomorrow" . As this went on for weeks. I came into the salon and saw her decorating the front door and asked if we could get this sorted and she told me she was busy decorating and would get back to me, continuing to put me off. I ended up taking matters into my own hands and requesting my history from the receptionist and added up the total and told them how much of a credit I have and had to keep a log myself until I was made whole in that situation. I had been going to this very expensive nail salon for almost 2 years. Before I took a nail break due to a fingernail infection that I suspect was caused by this salon. I had several issues with my gel polish peeling off of my nails over the last few months I was going there. Twice I had the gel polish peeling off same day/next day before even taking a shower and when I contacted the salon they were telling me that it had to be something I was doing. I had to go in twice within 72 hours to get my nails fixed. My guess is that the products they are using are no good and not sticking to the nail bed and I have several friends that experience the same thing. (My girlfriend got her nails done before heading to a wedding in Europe and had to attend with no polish on one nail because the whole thing peeled off in one piece. ) I reached out to an old nail tech I previously saw and she recommended which base and top coat to use. I then purchased those products and brought them with me the last time I was in and my polish lasted 2 weeks+ (that was the fix). But after that my nail became infected. I was diagnosed by my primary physician and was prescribed antibiotics to take for a week as well as an antibiotic ointment to use. Not using my best judgement, now that my finger is healed and I have an event coming up I tried to schedule an appointment and planned to bring my own products when I realized that I was blocked from booking. I reached out to the salon and this is what the owner responded to me. Telling me that I'm the blame, saying that I expect my nails to last a month, when my complaint was about my nails not lasting even 24 hours. She is now refusing me as a client and acting as if I have gotten aggressive with her and is threatening legal action. I have also had a friend tell me she had the same experience, they told her they would refund her. Never did, and my friend had to call her bank to get her money back. Over $200 for a manicure that did not last 48 hours. Unacceptable. I will attach screenshots of my conversation with the owner. Also, not registered with BBB.
