French tip fullset with Kathy
Oanh D.

First time here at Perfect spa& tan and I got appointment with Kathy. I love her!!!!! Got a fullset with french tip and it came out just so perfect. She is very nice and professional. She is the only one did my nail without scratching my curticle( my curticle is very thin)The french tip is on pointed and elegant. Definitely will come back.

I LOVE my nail tech, AVA!!! She can recreate whatever nail style I show her! She's amazing at what she does

Pedicure
Silpa D.

Pedicure was quick and very basic for $38--and I was surprised by the extra $5 charge for an ingrown toenail. Manicure with powder acrylic was neat and I liked her work for $55, but again, charging extra to clean cuticles felt off. That's basic nail care, and it should be included. Overall, clean finish but not worth the hidden costs.

Service is wonderful, very sweet girls The quality of my gel is where I'm frustrated. I went in for a mani/pedi and my toes look amazing! My fingers though.. they look great, but I paid to have gel, and the gel is chipping off 2 days after having them. I went and requested they fix 2 of my nails, which they did, free of charge and they were so sweet about it... But literally not even an hour after getting them fixed, another nail chipped. I'm just frustrated and wish that they lasted. Unfortunately I think they're all going to keep chipping off until I get them redone.

This is the only nail place in San Jose that I trust to do an acrylic set on me because they get it right every. single. time. I've been going to this place since 2018 and I've tried many different salons since and there always just something off, but the nail techs at Perfect Nails & Tan (@nailsby_melissa on IG) do an amazing job every time I visit. I always make an appointment through text and never have had to wait to get seated. I've gotten service from several different nail techs, and all of them do a stellar job on my requests. I also LOVE how efficient they are as someone with a very busy schedule. When I ask for a very simple design, I'm typically out of there in 45-50 minutes! Also, these nails last AGES. I don't have a labor intensive job but I do lift weights at the gym and these sets will last me over a month! I typically am very safe with my designs and get a French tip or a single color, but today I decided to branch out and try a design I saw on Pinterest and I truthfully was very nervous because I don't love being adventurous with nail designs. I was seated with Kathy and oh my goodness SHE DID WHAT SHE HAD TO DO!!! I showed her a photo of my inspo which was a mermaid nail design with 3D detailing and she got to work. The nails came out EXACTLY how I wanted them to and I am literally OBSESSED. Kathy is so talented and was so patient with me as I showed her many different inspo pics and had her do a different design for each nail. I mean this when I saw that this has seriously got to be my most favorite set I've ever gotten. Thank you Perfect Nails and Tan for being my tried and true, I will forever be a loyal customer!!

Day after, I went back to have it looked at. Same pain and more swelling

Update : 04/09/2025 , I went back to the shop and spoke with the nail salon manager . She was understanding , apologized and gave me a refund; on the otherhand , my thumb nail was badly burned under the u.v lamp which unfortunately a refund does not compensate for the nail burn . I made an appointment with a doctor and had it looked at . I was prescribed a antiobitic ointment and numbing cream for the pain. This incident should've never happen . I will not personally be returning to Perfect Nails & Tan for any kind of services . I can't recommend this business due to the bad experience I encountered.

9 days later and I have fungus. Attached pictures. This I'd disgusting. Do not come here

this was my inspo pic. i wanted the set on the right

I texted the number on their IG page, @nailsby_melissa and they told me I could walk in at 5:30 today. In my texts I said I wanted a gel-X set, and Bebe confirmed that I wanted a gel-X set when I came in. However, she talked me into acrylics instead. I didn't want acrylics but she insisted that the design I wanted wouldn't work with gel-X (in hindsight I doubt if this was true, and I regret letting her do acrylics). Although she was not mean or rude to me, Bebe was VERY ROUGH with both the e-file and the regular file. She filed my nails so hard that I was visibly wincing in pain. I noticed that the nail tech next to me was much more gentle when she filed her client's nails, and the client next to me kept glancing over at me because she probably noticed how rough Bebe was being on my nails. Bebe seemed very rushed as she sawed at my nails. I asked her if she could make my nails a little shorter, and she clipped my nails so quickly and roughly that she cut into the tip of my thumb. This was the only time she realized her mistake and said "sorry". My nails are still so sore and painful hours after getting them done. I also overheard a lot of gossip in Vietnamese. I don't think they realized that I am also Vietnamese and could understand everything they were saying. I didn't feel comfortable to speak up, but they should be aware that customers can hear them. As for the design, I used an inspiration photo directly from their own IG page, @nailsby_melissa. I figured that they could recreate it since they've literally done it before at their salon. I wanted the set on the right (the photo shows two people's sets, I wanted the right one). The glitter on the index and ring fingers turned out badly. The glitter she used on me was much chunkier than the inspo pic, and she put it on thickly all over the nail instead of doing a subtle gradient like the photo. She never asked me if I liked the nails before she finished, so it was too late to ask her to redo it by the time she told me to go wash my hands. She seemed like she was so rushed and she already caused me a lot of pain so I didn't think it was worth it to ask for a change. I'm unsatisfied with my nails and I'm sad because I only get my nails done maybe once a year. I'm going on a vacation for the first time in a long time so I wanted to get my nails done today-- I'm disappointed that it was such a painful experience for nails I'm not happy with.

Left the salon with sloppy unfinished nails .

Made a 6pm appointment for a new set with Bebe ( station 6). I showed her a picture of the color and shape I wanted . After leaving the nails way too long , I asked her to cut them down. All nails turned out to be a different length and thickness. I asked Bebe to keep my nails at medium thickness . After asking her to fill them in a bit more she got an attitude and told me not to come back to her station . This was a horrible experience. The entire process felt very rushed and sloppy . Why work in the service industry if you're not willing to listen to your customer? Definitely won't come back !

Finally found my new go to Nail Salon!!! My sister recommended this spot for a while and I finally listened to her after struggling to find a nail salon closer to me but wasn't successful. Should have just gone here from the start, I would have saved myself money and disappointments lol. SARA is going to be my go to. She listened carefully to what I wanted. I showed her the reference picture I had and she nailed it! My sister has been going to Sara for over a year now and she always gets complements on her nails. Sara would check in and make sure I was satisfied. I came on a Saturday and they were very busy. Good thing I had a 5PM appointment. So make sure to make an appointment before hand.

Tech missed 2 spots. Poor service. (Gel pedicure)
Christine L.

The quality and service gets worse every time I come back. Last month (May), I got a french gel manicure and gel pedicure. The tech who did my manicure applied cuticle oil before my nails were even finished. This caused my manicure to start lifting in 1 week. This month (June), I got a gel manicure and gel pedicure. The tech who did my pedicure kept touching my freshly painted nails with the UV light. A day after getting my nails done, I noticed that she missed a huge spot on 2 toes. (UPDATE) This was 2 days ago and now two nails are lifting. The service is no longer reliable nor great. The techs rush their work. They're super pushy about upgrading service packages. They always hurt me when cutting cuticles and they're messy with gel polish. I'm never coming back here.

I've come here about 4 or 5 times to get my toes or nails done and never had a problem until now. I come in to get a gel pedicure and the whole time, it's just PAINFUL! She cuts the "ingrowns" out my big toe. When this happens it never hurts, but the pain i felt was so bad. It ended up dripping blood afterwards and I asked her to please be more gentle, but she was still pretty rough. The next day, I realize the polish came off on 3 nails AND the toe that was bleeding is so sore and red. I called and let them know my situation and asked if I could get refunded. They said they have a no refund policy due to the service already being done-- the service was ass?! DO NOT COME HERE, YOU WILL GET AN INFECTION

I had a full Brazilian with Koko today and wow! She is amazing. Ewc is very lucky to have her…read moreworking for them. I had not had a wax for 4 years and I was anxious. I'm a woman of size (I identify as fat) and she made it quick and easy. I want to say painless, but not going that far. I did take an 800 Motrin beforehand. I'm an Electrologist, but I still love a good wax on occasion? I highly recommend koko. I can see why she has so many excellent reviews! If you're anxious, book with her!

I've been a long time customer of EWC. I don't normally go out of the way to write a bad review but…read morethis was just a poor experience at front desk. I lived all over the bay area and southern california this past decade and loved them. Today's experience with the front desk reception is the final nail in the coffin for me to stop being a return customer. I saw there's plenty of small wax businesses with high reviews and for less than what EWC is charging. I never thought to look elsewhere because i was loyal to the brand. I didn't realize i was overpaying! first red flag was being asked if i completed my pre-wax survey and that it should be in my email in what felt like a rude tone. my waxer then came out and was ready for me and the receptionist held me from going until answering the questions - i get it that's fine but being held back from my appt has never happened to me before. my waxer was wonderful! a great experience. i don't want to minimize that the waxers are great there. afterwards the receptionist asked me to charge my card, i said the last 4 digits and normally that's not a problem and the last 2 times i was there at this location it worked fine. but for some reason, now the payment wasn't going through. we think it's the zip code and i ask is there a way i can just pay and update all that at a later time - i am so used to just being able to leave right after that i ended up being late to another appointment having to tap my phone and card several times and each time the machine stated approve but their systems said failed. i check my bank statement and there were 5 charges to my card - all the same amount. i hold up my phone to show them. this is now ~$700 in held pending transaction funds going into the weekend - its was 4pm on friday and banks close over the weekend. i honestly don't understand why i couldn't just tap a credit card like any normal transaction and be on my way - the woman at the reception really had me staying back asking me for my whole address to update instead of just letting me pay and leave! )-: ADVICE: Do not keep tapping your payment method when updating info or if they tell you the charge isn't going through, just ask to pay normally like at any other merchant as a one time charge. i really wish i advocated more when it didn't feel right to be tapping my payment so many times and seeing APPROVED across the payment machine. my appointment was at 3:30pm i was out at about 4pm on friday, may 15. there was only one receptionist at the front at the time. i didn't recognize her so maybe she was new but this experience just really tipped it all over for me. there's a lot of waxers in the area! i advise looking around before deciding on a large chain that has some customer service quality issues. EDIT: yes i have challenged the charges on my bank app already - i just don't have the time to call before lines close for the weekend and the experience over all with the higher prices made it feel like value didn't match spend.
