full set acrylic - $50 + tip
Trinh A.

Was intrigued to come here from their IG. Even though their IG says you need to make a reservation - there was no one else there when my friend and I were there lol. They do take Venmo as well if you forget to bring cash. I like the shape and thickness of my nails, especially considering the price ($50 for a full set) which is not bad at all.

Dark gray chrome with 1 glitter nail and 1 snowflake nail.

Holly is an expert with nails and art. Always amazes me with her talent. The pedicures are fantastic too, never rushed. I am very picky about my nails and here they never disappoint!!! Great work ladies

Douyin inspired nail set done by holly
Ashley S.

If you need a nail tech that understands your needs & wants, then look no further because holly will be your next & last girl! Not only does she pay attention to details but she's also very quick! This set was done in less than 2 hours and when most places would probably take 3hrs+ I also had an old set prior that required take off but I was in an out in about 1 hr 45 minutes. I usually have curved nails so most nail techs would make my sets super thick and only Holly knows how to work her ways to make them thin and natural! Give her a try and thank me later!

Design i booked for

Honestly this experience was really frustrating. I booked with one nail tech specifically. She was the reason I found and went to the salon. I didn't get her for my design the first time because she took a walk in, but the tech i had was able to do my nails really well. This time i made sure she was booked for my nails and design. I get a text before my appointment asking to reschedule to later, i couldn't, they said it was fine. I get there and there are people in the middle of getting their nails done so I wait. Someone else started my nails but the tech i booked with, tech #1, took my design picture. I figure that tech #2 i'm with will do the prep, and I will go with Tech #1 once she finishes the girls nails she's currently doing. After 50 minutes and 5 rounds of my natural nails being drilled down, a girl shows up for a 6:30 appointment. The tech i was booked with--Takes her. Another hour goes by, that girl finishes her nice long full set acrylics while I still have 4 nails left. i feel bad because I know the tech i had was trying extremely hard, and I truly appreciate the effort. But being in there two hours to not get the service by the person I scheduled with, or get the design i wanted at all, is unacceptable. A french tip, builder gel fill has never taken 2+ hours to do. I ultimately gave up on my design because I was exhausted with being there and still having so many nails unfinished. It was at that point the tech I was originally booked with offered, with a drill in hand, to fix them since she was now done. No. I couldn't be there any longer, that's why i made an appointment and booked someone specific. I paid the slightly discounted price ($50) and left. I don't want them fixed, they're brittle now from the filing and being soaked in acetone in-between each round. They're bending despite now being short, when they weren't bending at all previously. The almond shape I had that matches the design pic, is basically gone. I just want to share so people are aware that booking means nothing and not everyone is trained equally.

I came in to get birthday nails by Holly and I'm obsessed! I was recommended by a friend and made an appointment about a week in advanced. Upon arriving, I had an old set I needed to remove and Holly actually removed it the correct way unlike other salons I've been to (it was really gentle on my thin nail beds). I was told Holly does really great almond shaped nails so I asked for almond shaped French tips with one cloud accent nail and it came out so nice! I'm always super hesitant with getting almond shape because all the times I've tried elsewhere, everyone seems to make my nails too fat and I didn't like that. However Holly, took her time to shape and file them evenly and they look so cute. Yes, their pricing might be on the pricier side but I think her skills speaks for itself! Would def be back again when I'm in town

It took me a while to find a place I like and that did a great job. I usually get designs and every time they come out perfect. I highly recommend and the staff is very nice. I always make appointments because they do get busy but they do allow walk-ins. I always forget to take pictures of my nails but they post all their work on the ig.

Paradise nail is my go to place!! They never disappoint, ever! Holly and her staff is always so welcoming and professional, they recently remodeled so the place looks amazing and so relaxing. My sister and I have been coming here for a while now, any nail ideas we show them they recreate so perfectly! I always get compliments on my nails Definitely won't be disappointed. I HIGHLY recommend them!! Here are some of the nails I've gotten

What I love about this place is that the nail techs, especially Holly, always understand my style and my request. Holly always pays attention to the details, uses the high quality product and provides the excellent designs. I always leave the salon feeling beautiful.

Nail fungus from glitter ombré set by Holly
Rowena C.

Two words: nail fungus. The reason I know it's Paradise Nails is because the fungus came from the glitter they applied to my nails - when I filed my nails off, you could clearly see the fungus surrounding a large piece of glitter. This, and given that it was the last nail salon I went to and haven't reapplied or filled my acrylics is how I know it was Paradise Nails. Holly did a mediocre application as well, I had some lifting on a couple nails which thankfully didn't contract fungus.

Neza G.

I'll start off by saying that Holly is one of the best. She is extremely talented! I've been coming here since before they went under new management, and I was NOT disappointed when it switched over and Holly began doing my nails. I love the detail she puts into her hand drawing, and the added care she takes. Come by, you won't regret it :) I will say you may be waiting a bit for your appointment because sometimes another persons it may run over, but that happens at other salons too.

Wrinkled polish
Chanelle O.

I asked for matte black mani/pedi. They said no problem and got to work. 1) after my pedi was done I looked down and she had put a shiny top coat on. When I inquired again about wanting the matte top coat, she said they didn't have matte for regular polish. I don't know why this wasn't told to me up front, I would have changed my polish colors if I had known. 2) they let me walk out with a gel manicure that was completely wrinkled in texture?! And this was after she tried to fix it twice, completely removing all the gel and filing/shaving my poor nail beds down until they were incredibly brittle. I pointed out the fact that it was still not even close to smooth but they did nothing. It might have been bad product? Or mis matched brands? In any case, incredibly unhappy customer. Paid full price and tipped.

Esma Z.

5 stars!!! I finally found a real nail artist. This place does amazing nails. I'm very happy I found them. This is my go to now. Yay!

Dip powder nails
Faith L.

Holly killed it with the dip powder on my natural nails. They keep fairly busy so I would make an appointment but walk-ins are also welcome. Holly and Jenny are the best

My set just after 5 weeks! No lifting!  Amazing quality!!

Note that all 3 appts were walk-ins in 2026. 1. June: 5 min wait. Good work. Organized. 2. August: Told me 5 min. Seated me after 20. Just tell me 20 from the beginning, you know? Then I know I can get a snack or coffee at Safeway and come back. I paid the manicurist and pedicurist to their separate Venmo accounts and tipped 20% for each. As I'm walking to my car 2 employees run after me claiming I didn't pay. ? And then one of them bellows something from the doorway and the one at my car just walks away. This turned me off and I decided never to come back if that's how they treat people. Didn't even say sorry. Just treated me like a thief. 3. September. Ok, I came back. I was at Savers already and thought a pedicure sounded fun. The four workers had clients so I checked in and they said 5 min. So I waited...25 min later I asked how much longer and guess what? 5 min. I waited 10 and then walked out. Now I'm at Viv's Salon on Santa Teresa. Love this place. Celine needs to get their priorities in order and stop appeasing customers with fake wait times.

I'm surprised it took me so long to leave a review when I've been coming here since they opened…read more This is my go-to nail salon for pedicures and I recommend it to everyone. They are always very friendly and accommodating for a walk-in appointment. The salon is hygienic and clean. They also have a very nice selection of gel polish colors, especially cateye colors. I recently had an ingrown toenail (my first ever in 33 years) after my latest visit but the owner was quick to help communicate this with the nail tech doing my pedicure so it doesn't happen again. This made me feel very understood and respected as a regular customer here. The owner also tries to remember the regulars at the salon and always offer a warm welcoming, which is very nice of her. They offer a discount for cash payments, but also accept Venmo (even for tips) while credit card has a small charge. I think their prices are very reasonable and definitely cheaper than the last salon I went to before switching to Pedi Nail Lounge. There is a large shared parking lot in front so plenty of parking nearby. I also like that there is a coffee shop (Blvd coffee), food spot (Chispiro's) and Lucky Grocery store right next door that makes the location extremely convenient for me. 5/5 , definitely recommend if you're looking for a new nail salon
