I've been seeing Sandy for 15 years, and I've followed her from San Carlos to Mountain View and now…read moreto her current location in Cupertino. That probably says more than anything about how much I value her work! Her thoroughness, personal attention, and consistent care have made her someone I trust and happily keep coming back to.
The biggest difference for me has been my toenails. Before I started seeing Sandy, they were thick, discolored, and curved inward. I struggled with ingrown toenails and thick skin building up around them. I actually had an entire toenail removed by a doctor, but when it grew back, I still had the same problems. It was frustrating to go through that procedure and end up dealing with the same issues again.
Sandy told me she could help manage the nail with regular maintenance, with the goal of avoiding another removal. I see her every three weeks, and her ongoing care has made an enormous difference. She carefully cleans around my toenails, removes the buildup of thick skin, and maintains their shape. Today, my toenails look flatter, cleaner, and more beautiful than I ever thought possible, and I haven't needed another toenail removal. Having someone who understands their history and gives them such consistent attention has meant so much to me.
The transformation in my fingernails has been just as exciting. My natural nails used to be very thin and would break so easily that I could barely grow them past my fingertips. Now, my own nails grow incredibly long and are strong--a change I never thought I'd see! Over the years, we've tried dip nails and now TAP gel, which I've been very happy with. Sandy is always learning new techniques and expanding what she offers. She has a wonderful selection of colors, and I appreciate being able to explore different options with someone who knows my nails so well.
Her interest in beauty extends to skincare, too. She carries a wide variety of Korean skincare products and has introduced newer services, including nano fusion. The skincare product I've personally tried is the salmon cream she recommended for the crepey-looking skin on my neck. After using it every day for about a month, I noticed a significant improvement in its appearance. I've been so pleased with that recommendation.
Her studio is another reason I love coming here. It's clean, comfortable, and private--just you and Sandy. For regular clients like me, she also keeps an individual box of tools reserved for that client's use. I really appreciate having my own dedicated set of tools; it's another thoughtful detail that makes the care feel so personal.
You also know Sandy will be the person taking care of you each time. That consistency is especially valuable when you have ongoing nail concerns. She remembers my history and knows what works for me.
The massage chairs make it easy to relax, and the private setting is also convenient if you need to fit an appointment into your workday or take a Zoom meeting while you're there. Sandy works quickly and efficiently while still being incredibly thorough.
What I appreciate most is that Sandy cares about helping you feel healthy, beautiful, and happy. After 15 years and three locations, I'm grateful to have someone I trust this much. If you're looking for attentive, consistent nail care and a personal experience in a private studio, I wholeheartedly recommend Sandy.
