My favorite nail salon. I've been coming here for all my manicures for a year now and it's amazing…read more Chloe is so talented and has helped me get my nails to the healthiest and longest I've ever had. I will continue to trust her with my nail work. Yesterday, I went to Mandy and I was feeling bold and wanted to try design nails, and Mandy delivered! I showed her a design and she made it even better. I appreciate how she offered suggestions yet also respected and allowed me to have the final say ~ that balance is so hard! Her attention to detail is superb. Always a great experience at Hi Nail.

Note: This is a very tiny salon. 4 chairs are readily available for manicures and one big fluffy…read morechair for pedicures. I came in on a whim before an out of town trip as the ratings were high and every review seemed positive. I showed up, with no appointment for a manicure and a pedicure. And lucky for me, they got to me within 10 minutes! First and foremost the layout of the salon is very modern and very well kept--everything is in its place and all work areas were clean without smelling like cleaning solution. Definite thumbs up. The ladies here are extremely nice. I think what surprised me most, is how quiet the shop was. Literally silent despite the audibles of nails being worked on. The customers--three of four chairs taken--weren't talking to the nail techs and the nail techs only spoke to ask questions. Definitely a change of pace from other salons I've been to. Setting the expectation-- this isn't your average salon for pedicures... while you do get a big comfy chair to sit in, there is no fancy massager built-in or a giant bubbling basin to soak your feet in. In fact, I soaked my feet in a collapsible bucket with lukewarm water. HOWEVER... the pedicure was decent enough. Sugar scrub was included... and the nail filing and cuticle trimming was pretty good. Being that I didn't want to complicate my service, I opted for a solid white gel nail for my toes. Simple. Clean. Perfect for vacation. Worth $65? Debatable. We'll see how long they last. For my manicure however, I chose to do builder gel on my nails with a specific design my fiancé found on Pinterest. My nail tech, Mandy-- really brought the vision to life straight from the Pinterest board! The best part of this was having Mandy confirm with me every step of the way to make sure I was satisfied with how everything looked and felt. I'm so happy with how everything turned out, I look forward to coming back to this location for future manicure services! Just one last note: the ladies here prefer you pay for services on your card and tip with cash, so be sure you are ready for these types of transactions!!

She is kind, friendly and best of all she takes great pride in her work.

I must say, because of all the great things he says, I have been tempted! What he likes is that Diane doesn't overbook, her place is quiet, and he can get what he needs in record timing. Thank you, Diane, for making my husband enjoy his self-care routine.

I told the owner, Tracy that I was on a time crunch and she told me she could finish in 30 minutes and she was actually able to get me out the door in 30 minutes! I told her I wanted just simple hearts on two nails because I had limited time and she told me she could do the whole hand design and still get me out on time and she delivered. A newer nail salon in Redwood City quoted me $50 EXTRA for the design so I literally got up and left because that's ridiculous and I won't be taken advantage of. At other salons, my nails can take up to 90 minutes because they're helping other people and doing god knows what but she had me in and out with beautiful nails in 30 min so I definitely found my new nail spot. Thank you Tracy!

She takes the time to look over inspiration photos with me and offers her professional insight, and when I let her be creative and free-play with the designs, the results are always stunning. Tracy truly has an eye for detail. Her salon is adorable, painted pink inside and out, and she always has fresh-cut flowers from Trader Joe's along with beautiful plants that make the space feel so welcoming. Her staff is equally wonderful--attentive, friendly, and kind--and they even offer refreshments. I genuinely love coming here; they make you feel comfortable and cared for from start to finish.

Recently renovated with brand new chairs and brand new manicure stations. The owner goes above and beyond to make sure that the customers are receiving a great experience.

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.

I returned to get them fixed, and while they initially said yes, I ended up waiting 30 minutes before they started. Once they were done, my nails still felt floppy and poorly done, so I politely asked for them to be fixed again. This time, I had to wait another two hours just to get them redone -- and I could hear staff mumbling things about me, which felt really uncomfortable and unprofessional. This isn't the kind of service I expect from a place I've been loyal to. I understand being busy, but overbooking and rushing through appointments affects the quality and respect towards customers who are trying to support your business. Susan, I'm honestly shocked by your response. Those photos are 100% my own nails--accusing me of taking them from the internet is not only false but incredibly disrespectful. Instead of taking accountability, you're deflecting and trying to discredit me as a customer. I came in with a genuine issue, waited hours to have it fixed, and stayed patient through all of it--even when I heard staff talking about me behind my back. I never "insisted" on anything--I just wanted my nails done right, which I paid for. It's disappointing to be treated like this after being a loyal customer. If this is how you respond to honest feedback, I won't be returning, and others deserve to know how situations like this are handled.
