    personal filing accessories
    Melissa T.

    I have heard about Nick & Vans for a while. Several of my friends have gone. They had me follow Jen, who is a manicurist there, on Instagram. Jen does amazing artwork. While I liked the place I have been going to for a long time, I truly missed the artwork I would get all the time when I lived in San Jose, CA. So I decided on a lark to call to get an appointment. I was given an appt time by the owner who was scheduled to do my nails. He called me to let me know he was done earlier with a client and if I wanted I could come earlier. Of course I took him up on his offer. I was so pleasantly surprised by the covid precautions they were taking and the place was spotless. They had all kinds of products to choose from which was fantastic. The owner look one look at my nails that have acrylic on them and he said you bite your nails right? He was 100% correct. I loved how gentle he was while filing my nails. There is a mandatory nominal fee which he brought to my attention before he began that they give you a bag of filing products so that you have your own each time you return. While my other nail place as clean I can't be sure they cleaned the files between each customer so in the respect Nick & Van Nails have taken every aspect of possible covid spread and made sure to protect it customers. I have to say they now have a new customer! Loved the artwork too!

    I am extremely satisfied with my overall experience at this nail salon. Jen is an amazing manicurist who is so talented and careful. They also require you to buy your own personal nail file set that you keep with you so there's no cross contamination between customers. I've never seen that before and was more than happy to purchase my own nail file set. This is such a great salon!

    I'm updating from my last review because I want to call attention to the person who did my nails today. His name was Ben. Of all the people who've done by nails here he was the most personable and the least pushy about upgrading my nail services. He would check and make sure I liked what he was doing and was just a nice presence. He did a great job on my nails especially since My engagement party is this weekend. Overall I used to frequent this place more out of settling but today changed that because he was great! I got a gel manicure with acrylic add ons for $45. Very happy with them!

    5 stars for the BEST acrylic tips around! I've been going to Nick & Vans since I was in middle school, and I'm 28 now! I've never been picky with who I get. I usually come as a walk in, but there are times I schedule ahead of time. Best nail technicians are Van, obviously! I think Van usually works appointment based, but he's worth the wait. If you're looking for another great tech, I recommend Kenny - he's nice, professional and does an amazing job. And last but not least my FAVORITE Benjamin! Ben is quiet but personable, never pushes you towards an up-sell, and always doubles/triple checks if you like the polish before completing the hand. He does a flawless job and I love the way he shapes my tips, 5 stars for The Salon, and 5 stars for Ben!!!

    What I got done!

    I went here to get my nails done for prom and I loved it. I got a gel manicure and regular pedicure and it cost me $43 which is an average price around this area. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by someone and was asked to put my name down on a list. I then went to go pick out colours. The same guy who greeted me helped me find matching colours for both gel and regular nail polish which was very helpful! The lady who did my pedicure was very nice and talked to me here and there while she was working. The guy who did my nails was named Jason and he was fantastic. I came in with already very long nails and he knew exactly what I wanted just by looking at them. He worked very well always checking with me if it was okay and what I wanted. When it came time for colour I showed him a picture and explained a few modifications and when he was done he got it spot on! I was very pleased. I didn't use this but they also have an airbrush station there so they can literally do anything with your nail design. The only annoying is the parking lot is pretty small but there's a restaurant next door which I'm pretty sure people park in for the nail salon. Overall very happy with my experience!

    There isn't a shortage of nail salons. What makes a salon stand out is their service, consistency,…read moreand reasonable pricing. I've been coming to Elite Nails for over 5 years for these exact reasons. It's located in a shopping plaza with plenty of parking in a lot. The salon is small and a little outdated. It could use a paint job and new flooring, but at least it's not unsanitary. There's around 6 pedicure chairs and 6 manicure stations. If you want a luxurious ambiance, this isn't the place for you. Their prices are very fair and lower compared to other salons in the area. I always get a gel manicure ($35) and regular pedicure ($23). There's plenty of nail colors and brands to choose from. Just a heads up, they don't do acrylics or very intricate designs. I always call to make my appointment and the owner, Joanna, is very accommodating. She's squeezed me in last minute with no issues. I don't recommend coming as a walk-in because they are usually booked. The best nail techs are Joanna and John. I usually go to John. He's gentle, has good attention to detail, and works efficiently. He doesn't rush and ensures I'm happy with my nail length, shape, and color. As a client of over 5 years, I've had a mix of good and bad experiences with other techs. Some are more experienced than others. My biggest pet peeve is getting my cuticles cut, so once that happens... I lose my trust! I'm not as picky with my toes, so I'm happy with any tech doing my pedicure. The ladies are really sweet and make my feet look ~pretty~ The quality of their nail products are great. My polish lasts for a looooooong time and doesn't chip or lift. They even have a rewards system. Gain points for every $ spent and you get free services. Looking forward to my next appointment!

    Been going here for years and they never disappoint. This is one nail salon that actually honors…read moretheir appointments, so please make sure to make one. Plenty of parking as it's located in a shopping center. Super clean and everyone that works there is very friendly. Go check them out.

Before I drove over I called to make sure that they had any availability and they did on a Saturday afternoon. Grace had such meticulous attention to detail. She continuously checked in on me to make sure that I was comfortable every step of the way. It was quiet and peaceful such a huge difference from the nail salons that I have gone to previously. Also, during my service I was offered coffee, tea or water. At the end of my service, she used a collagen hand glove and a hot towel. The price was extremely reasonable, and I will definitely be returning.

I ended up going across the street to get my acrylics and they did a wonderful job, but my cuticles are messed up and VERY irritated from the gel X and itchy and my contact dermatitis is coming back. (refer to the pic, the did not do the nail set.) I wish they would've been honest from the beginning and not money hungry enough to lie to me about the service they're doing on MY nails. never going back and would not recommend. They did apologize a lot though for what it's worth

My nail beds are sensitive and I stick with someone who can make my nails look good and not hurt me. I get compliments on my manicures all the time. The current owner/manager Michelle is friendly. She's always hustling, not in a bad way. (Why don't you get a massage?, You should try our new facialist!, etc). They do offer A LOT of services and have private rooms for waxing, facials, eyelashes, etc. What I love about the place is it is relatively quiet and relaxing. People are asked to keep cell phone use short, children do not come in and get noisy, there is no TV. Kids are great but grown-ups are allowed some peace and quiet in some places. It has the most spa-like atmosphere of the nail salons in the area.

My appointment was obviously rushed which hugely impacted the quality, as both services were completed and I was out the door by 10:30am. This was evident when the following day, on the day of my wedding, two of my finger nails chipped halfway through my pre-ceremony photos (approx. 2:30pm). Additionally, the polish was completely chipped and gone from one of my toes by around 6pm. A gel manicure and pedicure should last more than 24 hours, especially when you're made aware it is for an immensely important occasion for the client. The only positive about my experience is the salon appeared clean. Would not return or recommend to others.
