    Gel manicure
    Rachel S.

    This is by far the best gel manicure I've ever received. I recently removed my acrylics and usually I'll get a gel manicure after. I decided to get a gel manicure at Scott and Benton nails for the first time, and typically my nails will feel frail and weak. That did not happen this time! This is the strongest gel manicure I've ever had. I got them done after two weeks but I easily could've gone another week or two before getting them done. She also has an amazing selection of colors. Any any color you can think of she will have it. She takes her time which is why the manicure lasts so long. For me to get a gel manicure it took about 45 to 50 minutes, which for me is the perfect time to spend in the chair. I love that I can make an appointment and get in on time anytime I need to come. I will be making this my regular place for nails. My gel manicure was $30

    Unfortunately I did not get my nails done here. I tried to get a mani (fill in, no appointment) but they were closed at 5:30pm on a Monday. The door was locked. I called and got their answering machine requesting to text. I sent a text 45 minutes ago to ask whether they'd be closed for the rest of the day and just received a response apologizing and stating that they're open but only go by appointment. I wish their listing and/or answering machine stated this. Upped from 2 stars to 3 because they did respond (by that time, I was getting service at another nail salon.)

    Lana has been doing a fantastic job since I go to her last work location near Valley Fair shopping mall. I have visited her for more than a year and a half. I have always been happy with her manicure and pedicure service! She is diligent, detail-oriented, and cares about her customers' experiences. I'm glad she has successfully operated her own business and has offered a variety of new nail colors for customers!

    Lana does such an amazing job! She takes the time to make sure everything looks perfect. Personally, when I go to nail salons, my cuticles already start to lift within a couple of days. But that never happens when Lana does my nails. I also love how private the experience feels. It's typically just you there, so it's a nice break and some quiet while having time to yourself. There's also great wifi, if you need to take a meeting or want to be on your devices during a pedicure. You can also text to schedule your appointment, which is a great win. 10/10 recommend this place to all my family and friends!

    I've been coming here since December 2023 to get acrylic nails. Lana is really good at and she is very nice, too. The salon is clean and relaxing. Also, there are a lot of colors to choose from.

    Luv the way my nails were done by Lana

    Lana did an excellent job on my pedicure and acrylic nail fill with shellac polish. She has such a clean and beautiful nail salon. She is also very cautious with keeping her clients safe so she does not overbook clients. Highly recommend her for your nail and waxing needs!

    Lana is absolutely amazing and sweet! She's always on time and never rushes. It's just her so it's by appointment only. The nail spa is super clean, bright and quiet! I love getting my nails done with her!

    I love this Mood Gel Polish!!!

    The owner, Lana, has been doing my nails and hair since 2001. I have tried several different nail salons over the years, and have come to the conclusion that there is no one better than Lana! She is very accommodating when it comes to making an appointment, and she does an excellent job on my nails, hair and pedicure! I always get lots of compliments. And her prices are very competitive. Up until now, she has always worked for someone else, and I am so excited to see her start her own business and will continue to support her for years to come!

    Lana always does such a great job on my nails. I just come in with a picture and she's able to recreate it! Her salon is super clean too! It's super COVID friendly she does it by appointment only so you're the only one in the salon while she does your nails.

    Akiko C.

    This is the place I go for all my self-care needs. It is so peaceful, clean, organized and the owner Lana is professional, honest and prompt. I am so glad I found Lana and her salon. She is the best!!

    So many nail colors! How will I choose!?!
    Dana M.

    When your manicurist of 15 years opens her own shop and you follow her because 1) she is all about customer service 2) she's the only person who hasn't screwed up your delicately thin nails EVER 3) you always get compliments on your nails 4) you are confident enough that you refer even your pickiest friends and family members. Want a great mani/pedi? Need some acrylics or gels? Tired of that menopausal moustache? Call Lana and enjoy great service and great nails.

The staff is incredibly sweet, hardworking, and genuinely caring. They consistently do their best to accommodate me and my grandma, and we always feel welcomed and well taken care of. I believe they also do a good job handling any issues that come up with care and professionalism. I've seen them handle situations and communicate with their clients when there's an issue, and they have always been upfront and honest. I'm also awful at deciding what I want for my nails, and because I trust them so much, I usually just let them decide for me and they always do a great job. There's a comfort in coming here that feels like being remembered and cared for, not just as customers but as people. My grandma and I truly love this place and are so grateful for them.

I also really appreciate how flexible and accommodating they are with scheduling. The store also has waxing available and has a bathroom. There's always plenty of parking in the plaza and they accept both cash and card (with an available ATM in case). It feels great to support a local family owned business that's been serving the San Jose/Santa Clara area for over 10 years.

No refund, no solution, and deeply unprofessional behavior. *~~ Service Overview & Pricing I booked a same-day appointment that the owner accepted. I requested: * #108 Gelixir purple gel polish + acrylic fill manicure * #108 Gelixir purple regular polish + basic pedicure The owner upsold heavily throughout. I even let her do extra work on my pinkies to build rapport. Total: $81 Tip: $15 (tipped before the service was completed) She opened the shop ~5 min late despite accepting my 9:30 AM appointment, & complained aloud, setting the tone for our session. *~~ Where Everything Went Wrong 1. First Mistake Toe spacers were applied after polishing but before the paint was dry, immediately smudging the big toe. 2. Second Attempt They only partially removed the polish to "fix" it. Because the initial coats weren't fully removed, the application was thick and uneven. After 40 minutes of "drying," the nail dented and the texture caught the lip of my shoe, scratching again. I told them I still had time if they wanted to properly redo it. 3. Third Attempt A kind staff member accidentally damaged the other big toe while helping me into disposable sandals. At this point, my toes had been ruined three separate times--all due to staff actions. *~~ The Owner's Response When I asked if they could use gel on the big toes (since the mistakes were theirs), the owner refused and claimed: 1. The colors "wouldn't match." 2. Gel and regular polish can't match--despite the Gelixir palette offering both and my manicure proving otherwise. 3. That because I chose regular polish, the outcome was my fault. She repeated this many times. 4. That regular polish takes "hours to dry in cold weather," something she never mentioned and is simply not true. By then I had been there from 9:30 AM to 12:20 PM, and the pedicure was the first service we started. *~~ Escalation & Unprofessional Conduct When I calmly asked for a reasonable fix (or at least accountability for my time), the owner became rude, defensive, and dismissive. She offered: * No refund * No partial refund * No refund of my tip * No solution She repeatedly told me I could "leave if I didn't like it" while her staff was trying to help me with bare toes. Instead of accountability, she lectured me with constant "you" statements and kept shifting blame. I stayed polite and attempted to de-escalate, but she kept escalating. My friend who was with me also felt the owner was short, judgmental, and rude from the beginning. As a Filipina, I'm familiar with cultural bluntness--this wasn't bluntness. This was aggressiveness and unprofessionalism. *~~ Service Quality & Safety Concerns * They used a pumice scrubber on my inner ankle bone, leaving raw skin and micro-cuts. * The owner drilled harshly on the sides and cuticle area during my fill, causing irritation and cuts. When I said "ow," she told me I "needed lotion." (I regularly moisturize; the issue was her technique.) * During upselling for designs/gems, she asked about two fingers. When I agreed, she worked on the wrong fingers, insisted I said "all," and did the same thing to my friend. * Despite her picking my friend's shade, she acted annoyed when we asked to see it on one toe. Odd behavior throughout--there's truly no winning with her. *~~ Final Thoughts Based on quality alone, this could have been a 2-star experience. But the owner's behavior makes it a 0-star experience. Earlier, she told me her business struggles with retention but has some regulars. Now I understand why. The recurring reviews about poor customer service suddenly make complete sense. Even her responses to negative reviews show the same pattern--confrontational, defensive, and unwilling to take responsibility. It's impossible to relax when the owner is hostile, unaccountable, and provides no customer care. This was my first time going (only to accommodate my friend's work schedule) because in theory the 9:30 AM start time is competitive. But honestly, you're better off walking one minute over to Winchester Nails, which is actually my regular spot. I'll never cheat on them again.

I'll also add they gave me a bottled water when I came in and even gave me a nice quality mask when I asked for one. I am immunocompromised and there was a lot of sanding going on at the next station so I felt taken care of as best as they could.
