I think I found a new nail spot! Pro Nails Design is located in a "sketchy" area. Plenty of parking, so it shouldn't be difficult finding a parking spot. I needed a new nail salon because the nail salon I was going to prior was not exceeding my expectations anymore. I found Pro Nails Design via Yelp. I saw that the average reviews were good and the prices were within my budget. I called in to make a nail appointment for a full set. When I showed up to the nail salon, I was seated on time. I believe my nail technician was named Anna? Or was it Hannah? Anyways, she was super friendly! She listened to how I wanted my nails, she would check-in on me, and she was just very polite and pleasant to talk to. I absolutely loved my nails - the color, shape, and everything! Definitely a happy customer and will be returning. I actually just made my appointment for this Saturday! So happy to have found a good and inexpensive nail salon. read more

Pro Nails Design - White/pink ombré nails (coffin shaped) - Nail Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

This is how bad they left my nails... I usually don't complain, but my nails are horrible. Now I have rings of fire. I'm upset and very disappointed. The vibe felt okay. My first set was horrible at first. I was told I was going to have a fresh set if I came another day. When I came again, they said only " One nail" could be re done. Last minute, they said that they can refile. Which they did but they were still ugly after. I took them off last week. Very disappointed..... read more

I feel bad leaving this review because the new owners are very nice. They get 5 stars for how nice they are. However, I went in knowing exactly what I wanted (see pic), the results were okay but definitely not what I asked for. The blending of the pink/white ombré isn't done well either. Also, it has only been 3 days and my nails are already lifting. I won't be going back. read more

I used to only come here to get my nails done (pre-covid) and I was given the absolute best service. Hannah used to always do my nails. She is great at design and always delivers. This is the only reason I am not giving this place 1 star. I was rather disappointed coming in today. When I used to come in more frequently, the staff would always help me pick the best styles, be kind and ultimately would provide a fun experience. Today the staff seemed to be in a rather bad mood. She told me she would come back and do my nails and never returned. Ultimately decided to leave after getting my pedicure. The service has severely decreased. Sad to say this place is no longer the same. Also the have increased the price a ton (I understand COVID has changed the prices and everything has increased), but I would much rather not pay MUCH more than I paid and get yelled at. Like please pick a struggle read more

I've been coming to this location for four years. However , the owner decided to move , and she sold the place to someone else. I was hesitant to get my nails , but the new owners are fabulous.

I went to get my nails done this morning and the person doing my nails, tuan, was very sweet and patient with me when it came to choosing a design I wanted. He was very attentive to his work and paid attention to small details & he was very open to feedback ! They also have a promotion going on right now for nails 35$+ for a free hand lotion which I thought is very sweet. I recommend following their Instagram @pro.nailsdesigns for more pictures & information read more

The plaza is old one, been around for years. It has some places to get something to eat and a few other businesses. The shop was as well, nothing fancy about it, but for me as long as they're clean with their supplies they use and how they treat people then I'm good. Being a first time customer the location was convenient, no wait on a Monday at noon walk in, friendly and welcoming ladies. I was immediately seated for my pedicure. Mindy was thorough and did a great job on my feet especially my ingrown nails on my big toes. It's hard to find someone who's good at taking care of that and I think I found the place to come back to just because of that! I paid $20 for a basic pedicure and left a happy customer Not sure how busy they get, but today I was in and out. read more

I love this place! I have been coming since my freshman year in college and they do not disappoint. This place is what we like to call a hole in the wall. Doesn't seem like much but man the women in here know what they are doing! Everything I call they are super sweet and flexible which is sometimes often hard to find good customer service. I always get a full acrylics set & a gel pedicure. The best thing is the price. Not too expensive but Forsure is up to date with the 2022 prices.

I came here and I thought it was okay. The service was pretty good. I liked talking to the lady who was doing my nails, I don't remember her name though. I thought I knew what nail shape I was getting, but I apparently didn't, so that's why my left hand's nails are a little more shaved down than my right hand's nails. I'd comeback here. They did a good job on my nails in terms of color and design and process. I decided to hold back on reviewing the same day I got them done because I wanted to see how they would hold up after a few days and they are great :) decently priced too. I'd comeback here. read more

I came in today and the Owner of the nail salon was fighting with her worker. I don't know what they were discussing about since it was in their native language but I kept hearing the Owner say "Call the police". I am guessing that the worker was discussing about money with the owner ? I got a simple red gel acrylic. Months ago I was charged 25 and today I was charged 40 from the same lady(owner). I questioned the price and mentioned she charged me 25 last time, she laughed in my face and said I got a " manicure" today. She didn't even lotion my hands, massage or anything special.I noticed they were uneven and crooked.. read more

Pro Nails Design - Short Coffin nails, with special requested design - Nail Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

I've been coming here for acrylics for almost a year now, but my experience today really rubbed me the wrong way. I walk in a few mins after 2 PM and the ladies working were each helping someone. I would have called ahead, but the other times I've come in the middle of the day they weren't busy at all and the nail techs were either sitting in the pedicure chairs, or laying on the couch so I didn't expect it to be busy when I came in today. They ask what I wanted and I told them an acrylic fill. I was told a lady called ahead of me and was on her way right now, and they asked if I could come back after 3. I already drove out there and was not about to leave to just have to drive back in a little bit so I said it's fine, I'll just wait. Then the salon phone rings and it's on speaker so I can hear a girl on the phone asking for 2 nail appointments at 3 PM, to which the lady confirmed that she would take them. After that, I was asked again if I could come back later because the ladies were helping 2 people at the moment, 1 was on her way, and they now had 2 more coming in at 3 PM. They prioritized the person who called AFTER I had already been in there sitting and waiting and were going to take them both before me even though I was there first and waiting. What kind of BS is that?! I have been loyal to this nail salon since last year, but now it looks like I'll have to find a new go-to spot. read more

I am so beyond angry. My nails are ugly as fuck. I came in there asking to get my nails off and then a regular manicure. This girl knicks me and has my nail hitting me in the face multiple times while she's taking off my nail. They puts this poor excuse of nail polish on. There's bubbles and fuzzys. She gives me a FAN to dry my nails. You're kidding..... and I walk out with this ugly $20 bullshit. Never coming here again read more

Pro Nails Design - The fact that they let me walk out with these UGLY nails. I'm pissed. I will never come here again. - Nail Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

Hanna's precision skill with her tools is her saving grace. Call ahead. Mani with Hanna PROS: fast, accurate, great with nail shaping, attention to detail (even if rushed), I can get 4 weeks from a fill without a chip and zero lift. (I keep mine fairly short and business-like). She has an eye for art and is focussed and methodical about her hand drawn designs. CONS: She has fallen into factory-like, assembly line - type way of customer service. Even on an empty weekday morning. And she comes off as grumpy. She's not gentle, but she doesn't burn or draw blood either. I keep going back for her work. It's not a spa treatment environment by any means so if that's what you're looking for... You won't find it and she doesn't care. Because she doesn't have to. Pricing - her prices are below market which baffles me because she's really good. So I tip her well to make up for it. HOWEVER.. Be sure to be up front about what you want and what you expect. **Example: A fill is a fill and it's $30 for gel (recently raised from $27). This DOES NOT include cuticle trimming, wax, scrub or hand massage etc. If you want those done, it's $5 extra per request. I pay the extra $5 for just my cuticles to be cleaned up every other fill. PEDI with whomever. PROS: I've had two different girls, 6 times.. They are both good. I prefer the $35 treatment which does include the sugar scrub, wax, callous, stone and massage. This does feel like spa treatment. GEL IS EXTRA. CONS: Not much here except I prefer to not have my hands and feet done at the same time and it seems I have to be adament about it even when no other customers are in the shop. Brow wax- Meh. Not a brow bar. Don't expect it to be. No frills place. Expect great work. But don't expect to feel like a million bucks or even slightly special when you're there or when you leave. read more

This is an update to my last review. My first visit was nice for a pedicure (as was mine today), however, today I also opted for a gel manicure as well. I came in and my natural nails were long. It's taken me weeks to grow them to that length and I only wanted them cut down and filed a little bit. The chick who did my manicure cut them down so short it looks as if I bite my nails! I was furious but what am I gonna do, as her to glue back on my natural nail? It was too late to say anything at that point. After I looked at my filed nails, they were all uneven and choppy looking. I had to ask her to fix them, which only took them down shorter. After coming home I noticed she left some of the polish still on my fingers. Also, my right thumb nail was completely dull looking! It was as if she didn't even paint it with a top coat of clear gel! I had to go into my nail polish at home and repaint my own nail with a regular top coat to give it some shine, which isn't the same as gel. Also, after leaving this salon, I had a pain in one of my nail beds that would hurt anytime I applied pressure to my finger. Well, today, 4 days later, PUSS started coming out of my finger next to the nail bed!! (Pic attached). I also made an appointment for 2pm. Showed up at 1:58. Their clock was behind a few minutes and they told me "you have 5 minute still". I waited until 2:25 for them to even start running the water for my pedicure. Don't agree to an appointment if you're going to take priority over walk ins. This is the third time I've come here and my last visit also had me waiting even though I made an appointment. Today's pedicure was nice but my last one I was not massaged. So it's really a hit or miss here. I'm incredibly disappointed and will Not be coming back here again. read more

One of the worst nail salon experiences I've ever had I was supposed to get a fill but the lady who did my nails didn't even fill them. She sanded them down until they were sore and put the nail polish over that. It was clumpy and messy. I paid and left but my bf convinced me to get my money back for how bad it was. The lady refused to give me back my money unless she took off the nails. I was fine with her taking them off because they were done incorrectly to begin with and looked horrible. She would have left my hands soaking in acetone for about 15 minutes if I didn't take them out myself. My nails were in horrible condition when I left. The photo says everything. This place is also extremely unsanitary and dirty. Avoid this place at all costs, it's worth paying a little extra for the sake of your nails. read more

Friendly professional staff! Very small nail shop, so try to book an appointment ! Walkins are by luck, but usually it gets pretty busy. I ended up having extra free time after class and decided to do my nails. I looked around for a good, cheap nail place and found this place ! $20 for a manicure luckily they were able to take me in within 30 minutes after my call due to a cancelled appointment ! Don't be fooled and think "$20, must be a crappy job!!" NOPE. Nails were so on fleek! I got D. He's the only male worker. He did an amazing job and was very fast too. + his sense of humor and talkative personality is a plus ! Thanks D! Def coming back. Cheap and good !! read more
