I had an appointment at 3:10 PM they called me tell me to come at 3:30 fine I get there I'm waiting for 20 minutes. I show my Inspo picture which is just airbrush white French tip with a small airbrush design they said they don't have airbrush so I said OK I show her an ombré nude to White French which is pretty much the most basic thing nowadays besides a regular French tip and this is exactly what they said " sorry it takes too much time" I went there a few times in the past and had no problems today left the worst taste in my mouth and I am never going back after having me wait 20 minutes and then telling me that a powder hombre acrylic would take too much time just shocked me because that's the most basic nail people get besides French. Anyways I'm rambling on do not go here I do not recommend read more

This is my all time favorite nail salon. I've been going here for years and will keep coming back.

Nothing beats a mani/pedi and Splendor. I've been coming here for two years, and I never leave disappointed. I typically treat myself to the nicest mani/pedi packages, and leaving with only spending $120 including tip doesn't hurt the bank account too much; especially for the quality here at Splendor. Kind, clean, and my go to place every time. I always highly recommend! read more

Great service, find Loan (Lo-en) for the best customer service! She must be the best pedi tech in town

Got a nail infection from this place- I got my nails done here twice in a row after moving to the neighborhood and after a removal (at this same place) I found that a number of my nails had major discoloration & I now have to go to the doctor to make sure I can treat it properly. This has never happened to me before & I have found through research that this happens due to unsanitary equipment & practice by nail techs. I wish I checked reviews before so that I know others had this type of experience & avoid this whole situation. I will not be going back, the place "looks" nice but it's poorly managed... just sharing my experience so others know they could end up in bad situations from going to splendor too read more

The pricy pedicure does not include scrubbing the feet well. I have been coming to this place for many year. But the quality is no longer highI read more

I've been a customer for about a year and 3 mo. all visits in which were 5 mo. apart. No matter where I go, it's always the same service.. If you're going to be expensive, at least do the job to match the price. I should've known they aren't masseuse. I asked for 5 more minutes In hopes she'd massage my feet and legs; needles to say I wasted $5. I bet she didn't even time herself for 10 mins, that's my fault for not timing. Don't be shy like me and speak up about your nails, this s**t too expensive to giving away money. **I got my nails done on Saturday 06/04** **the pictures are from 06/08** read more

My favorite place to get my nails done! I am always satisfied with my mani pedis every visit. They have great polish options, amazing customer service, and takes their time to perfect your nails/toes. I got my gel mani done last week and they're still going strong - not a chip in sight! I recommend this place to anyone who wants to experience a relaxing and amazing time to pamper yourself. :) P.s. they are taking great precautions with Covid-19. Everything feels safe and sanitized! read more

Splendor Nails & Spa - I asked for nude nails with abstract lines - Nail Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

Friendly staff and hard workers. They have social distancing for their pedi and mani stations which is nice. Also have sanitation bottles at each station as well. First time visit and had a nice time. I ended up changing my mind on the manicure and went with an acrylic set. Had to wait for another person but was worth it. She did an excellent job with my nails and made sure each nail was straight and perfect. Lots of filing but she took her time. Thank you everyone that helped me out and the rest of my party. read more

If I could give less than one star I would.... I went here to get my. Previous acrylic Nails removed and I'm not sure what lady did my nails because I never got a name but she picked at my nails and made 3 nails out of 5 bleed. I asked her to change her method and to soak my nails instead of just cut away and shove a tool through my nail. And she blamed me for having "too" thin nails. My left hand was done the proper way after going through the pain of the right. read more

Splendor Nails & Spa - Ripped nails - Nail Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

Pro- Walked in and got a pedicure quickly. Cons- No nail color samples like the other nail places, you have to choose from the nail color bottle wall only. They give you a pre made ice water made from putting some water in the bottom of a plastic cup and freezing it for ice. Then they fill it up with water and an orange sliver. The woman that did my pedicure hurt me and was rough and didn't listen to me when I told her that it hurt. She just said, "Sorry it hurts" and kept on going. I have cuts on my toes from her. Only 25.00 but I won't be back. No customer service or personal care. A smile would go so much further. read more

Staff is super friendly and helpful. My mom and I have been going here for literally years since it changed owners and under its current ownership they have respectful, friendly, wonderful staff! Would definitely recommend. read more

I live fairly close to this nail salon and want so badly to like it but the results are always terrible. The service is very good and my nails look great that day and potentially into the next day but my gel nails NEVER last more than 3 days without getting cracks. The photos below are a week after the manicure and as you can see the cracks at the top of my nails look terrible. I've had this happen every time and never happens at other salons. Not worth coming here! read more

This past Sunday I decided I'd spoil myself and get a manicure and pedicure. I decided to go to my normal "go to" nail salon as I've been an off and on customer of theirs for almost 5 years and have never had a problem. There was the normal pick the service you want from the card and the pressure from the girls trying to sell you something more expensive.... I'm used to that happening every time, so not surprised, though a little annoyed. I had brought in my own nail polish as well (more on that in a minute). Now for the reason I will NEVER go back. Whilst doing my pedicure, the girl was using a pumice stone and literally grated the skin off the outside of my left toe from pushing too hard! She did not say a word, much less apologize! She just rested my foot on the basin and walked away. I looked at it as she was walking away and the skin was sticking straight off of it and I was bleeding. In fact over the past 2 days I've bled through 4 baindaids! (I know for a FACT that I did not have a callous where I was skinned. I NEVER get callous' there and in fact the day before I had used a ped-egg on my feet so I didn't have any rough skin that needed to be grated off anyway). The other girl doing my fingernails said that I have thin skin.... Excuse my french, but that's bull sh*t! I looked at her and said, "Um, no, I think she was pushing too hard!" When she returned from wherever, she took a cotton ball and soaked it with some blue solution which she called "bleach" and placed it on my toe which really frikin hurt! and then continued on with the treatment. I had opted for the slightly more expensive massage package with the hot stone which practically never touched my legs. My leg mucsles were aching and that was the main reason I decided to get the pedicure - to have someone rub my feet and legs.... with a hot stone. Sadly I did NOT get what I paid for... And now in hindsight, I'm a little embarrassed to admit, but they did not offer me a discount and I was too in shock (or too much of a push-over to demand a discount). So I paid almost $60 for a manicure and pedicure and left with my toe bleeding through the bandaid and staining the little slipper thing they give you to walk out of the store with. (see pictures above) Oh, and they still have my $7 nail polish that I brought in with me. I called and they have it at the front desk, but I don't know if I want it back. I don't think I can trust that no one else has used it.... Oh, and I'm not sure if the girl threw out the pumice that she used to scrape my skin off, which also had my blood all over it... NEVER again. read more

Great staff and recent refresh is nice! The fact that they give you a glass of fruit infused water is an added bonus.

I really like this nail salon. I can almost always get seated right away, they are super friendly, its clean and they do a good job. Like most salons where the majority of the employees don't speak great english, you have to pay attention to what they are doing, but I just consider it part of the deal for inexpensive nail services. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE! I have been going for over two years and I couldn't be happier! Is it perfect in every way? No. But, show me a salon that is. Overall, what makes me happy is that I definitely get what I pay for. I get the #2 pedicure, and as a victim of a bad pedicure over 15 years ago, I have chronic ingrown toenails. My two favorite ladies-- Vivian and Rosie-- show my bad toes so much tender love and care, keeping them clean and pain free. My biggest addiction however, is gel polish (set in UV light-they last me 4-6 weeks!!!). I get French and a cuticle clean up for a base price of 25 bux. (15 for gel +5 for french (the French looks better as it grows out) +5 for cuticle clean up) I usually pay more because I get extravagant designs. ROSIE IS THE BOMB FOR DESIGNS! So much talent!!! And she is a perfectionist! Vivian is a sweetheart and i go to her for everything but designs. The place is super clean, and as soon as you are established as a regular customer-- I go once a month-- they learn your likes and dislikes and make you feel very comfortable. I get that customer service shouldn't depend on how often you go, but it's not a bad trade off. AND, most of the ladies have amazing customer service even for first time customers. I'm gonna add some photos so you can see Vivian's and Rosie's amazing talent. (the more designed photos are all Rosie!) Ignore the rare bad experiences mentioned on this page and give it a try! read more

I was charged extra for having slightly pointed nails. When i ask why, the woman at the front desk is rude and acts like she is in a hurry and is bothered by being asked. The nails on each finger are different. One thumb nail us wavey, and the other thumb nail has a hump and tilts down. NOT recommended. read more

I have been going there for years. What I like the most is that no matter who you get, they always do a great job. The owner is nice and accomodating. Even my husband started going with me to get a pedicure. I highly recommend them. read more

This isn't my usual nail place but I came here because my friend was familiar with their eyebrow waxing. I wanted to get a pedicure and a set with one of my guy friends who just wanted a manicure and an eyebrow waxing. I had called to set up an appointment the morning before but they seemed so confused when I walked in. My appointment was for when they opened at 9. The pedicure I got was nice except the girl massaged my legs so hard I started to shake, but I didn't say anything since I feel that the massage was probably helping the blood flow in my legs. It's always funny because I don't make it obvious to the ladies at the salon that I'm Vietnamese so I kinda just let them talk and I just listen. The lady who did my toes was so interested in my eyeliner... Probably because it was so thick. But anyways, overall the pedicure was a good experience. They started the fingernail process while I was getting my toes done. I had showed a simple nail design but she kept trying to push having glitter nails on me. My nails turned out fine but I just wish that the designs were cleaned up better. It was a simple red French tip with a black line underneath it but the rest of the fingernail was to be painted a nude color. The black line was a little crooked and you could see the strokes/lines in the nude polish. I understand that they are trying to do their job but I don't like how they try to get you to get more things than you're asking. They complained that my cuticles or something was dry or crooked and that they could fix it for this much more. If you aren't persistent in saying no, you'll end up paying $100 for a simple mani and pedi. My friend enjoyed the experience of getting his nails done but the clear coat they put on him ended up chipping off the next day. That was a big disappointment. He was very happy with his eyebrows though. They were cleaned up really nice. read more

I have been coming to splendor since December of 2009. I have gone through ups and downs with this place depending on the person you get, but even my worst experiences here weren't even that bad. For the past few months I have been coming here consistently and am very pleased. The two people I highly recommend are the following: Hannah (manicure & wax) and My (pedicure). Both of these ladies are extremely patient and will do whatever you ask and even recommend other, potentially better options. My entire family comes here and we are pleased probably 90% of the time, but like I said we are pretty particular people. The one down side is they only take CASH for TIPS. I highly recommend Splendor Nails. read more

Excellent pedicure, very friendly staff, very clean and I felt very safe with the COVID precautions they were taking. Temperature was taken, hand sanitizer offered and plastic partitions between customer and lady doing nails/pedicure and very spaced out. I enjoyed a very peaceful Pedicure. Tented space with fans in front. read more

I truly love this place.. i just started coming here a few months ago and the consistency is what i love!

And you don't feel like they're ripping you off either. Try it you won't regret it! read more

It pains me to give a bad review and leave this nail salon for good but I have no choice. My most recent visit turned out to be disastrous for both my mom and I. I went for a normal pedicure like I've done so for the past 3+ years but this one caused me to have pain for a week and counting. After carefully examining my big toes I realized they were cut/shaped in a manner that resulted in 2 ingrown nails. Even the most basic things such as walking cause me to feel pain....super aggravating! My mom had it worse. TMI....she too began to feel pain in one of her big toes and after careful inspection found bloody pus coming out of a cut she received while getting her pedicure. Gross, GROSS!!!!! This place seemed promising...oh well! On to the next nail salon. read more

Had a pedicure previous week and it was excellent. Went back for a manicure and it was so rushed. Nails have ridges where the layers of polish were unevenly applied and gaps where left at nail bed with no polish applied. read more

I came with a friend, she loves it, which is great for her. But I didn't exactly feel like it was the best for me. She was rough, didn't pay attention to detail so when I mentioned something about a couple nails being bumpy, she got rougher. Which is ridiculous. I work In the service industry and you can't do that, it's noticeable! So I didn't say anything about the rest of the things that I don't like( because I didn't want anymore cuts) like not polishing all the way down the nail or filing the side of nails where the natural nail is. Just those minor details makes a HUGE difference. And charging for Coffin shape when they were already coffin??? You ALWAYS tell the client before doing a service you charge for. Won't be back. read more

At the suggestion of my hair stylist, I took my daughter here on her 13th birthday for a pedicure. I was really impressed! The store is well lit (with one solid wall of windows) and clean. The staff are friendly. Without an appointment on a Saturday afternoon, we got no grief for showing up and asking to sit together. The shop has "menus" that tell you what sorts of pedicures you can get, what's included, and how much it costs. My daughter got a basic one that included a hot stone massage on her legs, I got one with the callus treatment (which also has the hot stone massage). My daughter wanted an "american" pedicure (like French, but with colour instead of white nail tips), and I let her splurge on nail art too - which I then ended up doing too since my girlie-girl wanted Mom's nails to match (hey, it was her birthday and I wanted to spoil her!) It was expensive, but the callus treatment was excellent (my feet feel so nice!), we were in the chairs well over an hour what with my salt scrub, the massages, the pedicure activities, and then the nailpolish bits - and we were not rushed out before our toes had time to dry which is always a plus 'coz I'm just naturally prone to screw up nailpolish 'fore it's totally dry. read more

I have continued to go to Splendor Nails since I wrote that review. I found a great nail lady that I liked there and was very happy with her work. Their pedicures are also the bomb! But, I was shocked to show up today to find my lady had suddenly left. She had previously mentioned dissatisfaction with a new policy of the salon. If you are a current client and walk in without an appointment, you are not allowed to ask for your regular person. Even if they are just sitting there with no appointments and doing nothing, you cannot ask to see them for your service. WHAT? Why? As a customer, this makes no sense to me at all! In fact, it's stupid! I almost never call and make appointments because it's easier for me to just show up and take my chances. If my lady is free and I show up, why can't I have her do me? I am NOT a walk-in. I am a current client without an appointment. What difference does that make? I can always take my business elsewhere. I'd like to see this place give their employees a little more respect. Written in my travelogue: Hoping complaints from customers turn the owners back around on this silly decision. read more
