By (aka Maddy) and Jules did an exceptional job on my deluxe mani and pedi! They both were so detail oriented and made sure I loved the color and styles. Both of them sampled the color I wanted on one nail first to ensure it was exactly what I wanted before moving on to paint the rest. Jules was so great that even though we came in late, she stayed over her time and went above and beyond in making sure I had the best experience possible. I've been to MANY nail salons over the years, but this is now my go to place with my go to people! By and Jules were both very warm and kind, they were extremely professional. The salon itself was immaculate and well designed. The massage chairs were top notch and had multiple functions to choose from. I have nothing but positive things to say about this place, I might actually say I would rave about it! Thank you Jules and By! read more

Nails Haven - French ombré by By aka Maddy! - Nail Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

This salon was my back up to go to when the place I used to go were closed or too busy. I have not been turned away or waited too long since Ive been a regular patron now for 3yrs. They are always friendly and accommodating to what you want done. I really like how they do Ombre nails and some salons are not as good or do not do this type of nail art. I dont have a favorite person I go to, but each one has been able to do what I asked. Their spa packages are relaxing and awesome too, when I can afford it , but still a nice treat for yourself! My tip...make an appointment for something you want in detail. They run pretty busy at times, so getting a quick fix or dropping in may not be best if you got other appointments or things to do afterwards. Been fortunate I haven't had a problem dropping in, be best to call and let them know if you need to be somewhere else. read more

(This review is 1 week after my appointment. I wanted to see how well the gel x nails held up). I called the day before to make an appointment for Gel X French manicure with simple flower designs on two fingers. I came a few minutes earlier than my appointment and was seen in about 10 minutes. My entire appt lasted about one hour. My nail tech worked quickly and gently while multitasking either checking in other clients or helping clients pay. She listened to what I wanted and gave me suggestions. Cons: No cuticle care, no shaping/filing of my original nails before application of the gel x was performed. Additionally, the gel x was applied on my nails in a way where some of my original nail is visible (please see the picture). Pros: no nail lifting, no cutting, paint application wash done well, gel x nails feel secure This is my second time getting gel x, so I'm not too knowledgeable about the process. The first time I went elsewhere and they performed cuticle care. FYI prices are cheaper than other places I've checked and everyone in the salon seemed nice. read more

It's an 50/100 you'll get what you want. My first time here was great. I got a cute simple design of French ombré tips. They even asked how I wanted them done. At first I was just thinking simple paint the French tips, but then asked if I to try air brushed ombré. Which of course I did and they came out great. My second visit I showed a picture from their reviews that I wanted to try which they looked confused but did it. It was another French tip design and my OCD kicked in the lines looked off. I had to ignore it because I didn't want to walk back to let them know. And yes I didn't notice tell I got home. I was pregnant at the time and was too tired to look. But if you're okay with basic designs they can do it. Theirs shop is cutely designed and there's no waiting time either. read more

Nails Haven - They shape is to ugly - Nail Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

Julie did an amazing job! Literally exactly what I wanted and willing to work on the spot to combine a few inspiration photos. The quality is so nice, the smoothest nails without blemish I've ever gotten. She went out of her way to match my extensions, even shaping another shaped nail to fit a nail that was in between sizes for almond. The entire store is clean, neat, and provided drinks/snacks. My only recommendation is they aren't strict on their appointment system so come early if needed as they take a lot of walk-ins/late customers which might cause a delay. 마음에 진짜 들어요 원하는 이미지대로 100% 해줬어서 만족해요. 쥴리라는 직원 영어 엄청 잘하셔요! read more

Update: Julie(the business owner) reached out to redo my whole nails to ensure I am satisfied with it. The business owner ensures she doesn't lose her long term customer which I appreciate. I loved this place, it was my go-to stop to do my nails. However my experience today will change that. I went to ask for a small simplistic french design. I made an appointment at 5 PM to do an express pedicure and a full set. I called the other day to confirm the technician I usually work with which is Julie (I am always happy with Julies work). However when I arrived I learned that Julie wasn't available, even though I called to confirm my appointment specifically with Julie, I was like it's okay I will still go on with my appointment as I am traveling and I can't come another time. I arrived sharply at 5 PM but had to wait 35 minutes until someone was free to be able to work on me. I made sure before the start of the appointment if my nail tech can do this design and whether it was easy. The nail tech who worked on my hand was sweet and patient. The problem is since my appointment started late, I was close to closing time which was 7:30 PM. There was no room for any mistake. I even asked if she would like me to come tomorrow because I felt bad that we were close to closing. However, I was bothered because it seemed the design was hard and she wasn't able to do it, even though before the start of the appointment I asked... emphasis on asked. I showed four designs and asked her to pick the easiest one. Unfortunately, it looks like I made it home not worth 100$, the french don't look french or take the shape consistency through all nails and the hearts are an irregular shape. read more

UPDATE: It's been a little under three weeks and one of my nails is lifting off :( I guess the glue didn't hold. I've never had this happen before, not any of the other times I've gotten my nails done. I'm rather sad about it as now I have to remove these nails earlier than I'd like to. -------------- 10/10 attention to detail!! This is how getting your nails done should be. I didn't have to constantly check to make sure the shape and angle of the nails were straight and in line with my fingers. They offered my friend and me little water bottles, which I appreciated. Also, there's a 5% cash discount! Very reasonably priced either way though. read more

Nails Haven - Acrylics with flower design - Nail Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

I usually don't write reviews but this experience made me want to! This was my first time at Nail Haven. My pedicure was a good experience overall but getting full set of nails was devastating. The nail tech definitely was unexperienced because as she was applying the powder to my nails, she was unable to create the "apex" of the nail. The form of the nail was flat and did not have the appropriate shape. She then accidentally cut my skin with the e-file which caused my skin to bleed. She tried to stop the bleeding by applying nail glue on top of the wound This was definitely my worst experience at a nail salon!!!! read more

Julie is amazing!!! The other girls are also super nice and the salon is spacious and clean. I'll definitely come back! I've been getting acrylic fills for years now and just moved to the bay recently and I've been looking for a new tech/salon to frequent. I went to a new salon before Nails Haven and they did a really horrible and uneven/rushed job. I was literally on the verge of crying because of how bad it looked! I looked up another salon right away and Julie was kind enough to take me in and help me fix my nails. I changed my mind a lot about what I wanted to do and she was fine with that and was communicative with me the whole time. She did a beautiful ombré look on my nails and really took the time to make sure the set was even and the shape was to my liking. I'll definitely be coming back here from now on! read more

Nails Haven - Julie ombré - Nail Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

Keeping their appointments. Every time I make an appointment, I show up and they aren't ready for me or need to change it. I come here very regularly due to the location convenience but they need to work on making and keeping their appointments. read more

I made an appointment online before our appointment for 8/28 for a Gold Mani and Acrylic Fill, for myself and my friend K, at 12:00pm. I didn't make the appointment wildly late at night or anything, and I used the website that's linked on Yelp (and confirmation from "Fresha", and an SMS). I received email and text confirmations for the time and services. It was 8pm the night before, but the booking service allowed it. If they weren't able to accommodate both the appointments, they should have contacted me or said they were not able to make that time - or not allowed the booking service to make the reservation. So, without any kind of alert to the contrary, we showed up for our appointment. The girl that was behind the counter at the time and another woman were surprised and confused, asking if we had a reservation or appointment - which we did. They said they would be able to take the Acrylic Fill immediately, and then could take the gel mani next, as soon someone was free (despite this being the easier of the services). They were not specific to anyone that would be freeing up soon, or even what "soon" would be. My tech started my acrylic fill. She tried telling me I needed a new set, because I was going from Coffin shaped nails to Almond shape. I was super confused, because I was going from *more* width to less - and I was very concerned about the damage to my natural nails, super weak and brittle, swapping to a new set. She brought someone else over to translate, who I guess explained how she needed to do the service/change in shape, and we were trekking on from there. My other complaint is the bulkiness of the acrylic even after shaping, and application of the polish. However, that pales in comparison of K's experience. Forty minutes into my service, someone had still not "freed" up for K. I had to ask whether K could sit at the open station next to me, which they said would be fine. Somewhat annoying that they didn't think to offer this on their own... After that, two different women came and asked my friend what she wanted. K stated a gel mani each time. However, in response, no indication was given that K would able to have her service - which was now almost an hour past our appointment time. Finally someone said they could take K. K was seated at the end of the row away from me. K did have very old gel polish that needed to be removed on a few nails, and her nail tech started a soak. The tech got all her items prepared, and confirmed the design K wanted. It was a simple french, with a hint of a design. Note: the "Gold" Mani on their website was the only one that did not state "regular polish" but states the following: "Cleansing, shaping, cuticle care, 5 minutes hot stone massage, Mask and Paraffin wrap." A photo on Yelp, from June 4th, 2022 shows an image of the same service list/description (photo is "Current Prices by Elizabeth L.") K's tech immediately started clipping her nails after removing the old gel, with tips placed on her station. K never asked for her nails to be shorter. The tech started asking K if the shape was fine, but after any kind of length losss, her previous design was really not doable any longer - which she said to the tech. The tech said she image that K showed her were acrylics, so instead of remembering "gel mani" or even asking, she just started doing... something. My own tech was rushing because there was a walk in, waiting for an acrylic fill. By the end of my appointment (not the end of our visit) 3+ women were waiting. After my polish was cured (albeit, poorly painted), I went to sit by K. Sometime shortly after I sat next to her, those same tips (magically) vanished from the table top. K and I chatted through the rest of the appointment. The additional "benefits" of a Gold Manicure (mask and paraffin wrap, and hot stone massage) were never done. I didn't even realize until after we got home. Her tech basically trimmed her cuticles, overly filed and cut K's nails, and painted. However, K's tech continued to file after the Gel was applied. Not just to clear up any messiness or paint out of place - the tech was filing K's nails even shorter still, and at the blunt end, where the gel shouldn't be tampered with. I fully expect K's mani to chip in a couple days. We paid and left as soon as we could. We were already fairly upset having to wait over an hour for one of two services after a set appointment time. Then not even having the level of care put into it that any other nail salon has demonstrated was essentially salt in the wound. I don't write this to complain, but just share our experience and let others know. Nail Haven does not seem well prepared for a weekend for services (even a Sunday). They did apply a 10% discount for some Grand Opening, but as far as I can see online and on Yelp, they have been "opening" forever. I agree with the other reviews that say the techs are somewhat inexperienced, and don't listen to the clients. We won't be back. read more

I've always had very difficult ingrown toenails that are very difficult to take out. Many different nail technicians were unable to get my nails cleaned out. It was frustrating that I'd need to return several times for them to remove the remnants. Luckily, I found Nails Haven online. My technician was super detailed and patient to carefully cut out my tough nails. It takes a long time, but she doesn't rush my pedicure. When I had to return a couple of times, she didn't even charge me. Now that is excellent and responsible service. They care about doing a thorough job. One time, I came in for bikini wax. The technicians were all meticulous to remove all hairs in that area. They didn't rush either, and were as gentle as possible. I'm going to come back here for all of my future pedicures. Thank you, Nails Haven read more

Nails Haven - Wonderful pedicure - Nail Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

absolutely loved my nails when I first got out of the salon! The nail techs were friendly and they all worked with me to help me copy my reference pictures and get the color right. However I did have my pinky nail come off (I got extensions) the very next day which is quite upsetting Edited: A week in and my nails have started to crack. The in store service was great however these nails were not long lasting at all. It's not worth spending so much money if my nails start falling off a day in. read more

Can't recommend. It seems like the experience of the techs here is inconsistent and the quality of service varies based on who you get. Came here to treat a friend who lives in this area and saw this was a new spot that seemed promising. My nail tech was rough on my cuticles and cut skin to cause bleeding. Communication wasn't great. The gel on my nails was bumpy and the application wasn't smooth on the edges or sealed so I had peeling shortly after my appointment. I normally can keep gel nails up to 5 weeks without issues when done properly. read more

Just feed me and tell me I have nice nails. What else could a girl want? I was grocery shopping at my local Safeway when I saw the "GRAND OPENING" sign on Nails Haven so I made a point to visit and treat myself after a long day's work. My OCD-ness when it comes to nails: I usually hesitate when getting my nails done because I am extremely OCD on how a tech files my nails. One time, at a different location, I even took the file and filed it myself. The first time I entered, Julie greeted me and recommended the organic pedicure. Julie foot massage is amazing. just the right amount of pressure and she is so meticulous when it comes to the shape of your nails. My nail tech, Nina, helped me with the gel on my fingers, equally meticulous on the design. I loved her so much, the second time I came in , I was lucky enough to get her again to help me with my dip powders + tips for a wedding I attended. I received so many compliments. The third time, I wanted to remove my tips, and get gel so I could grow out my regular nails so I requested for Nina specifically and she did not disappoint. read more
