    I will not be coming here any longer. I had a horrible experience today and the last two times I came it was just weird. I gave them benefit of the doubt and kept giving a chance. The shaping is not good and the price was crazy. Normally I pay $55 and today I got charged $95 just for her to do two of my fingers as a French tip. I can do that myself at home for cheaper. I am very disappointed with whoever did my nails the second time I came (Don't know her name but might've been Kim?) but she kept cutting me and also disappointed with Tina today. I specifically requested Tina because last time when I came, she did them super fast. I was literally out in 30 minutes. I came with my friend today and it took way longer and it doesn't even look right. My thumbs are different lengths and my left thumb thumbnail is way too big for my finger and has fallen off. I got them done at 12 PM today and it is currently 7:36 PM. My friend got a gel manicure and seemed to like it but she said it felt rushed too. The previous times I came my nails only lasted two weeks whereas at other salons it lasts 3-4. I'm done being ripped off. The only nice person is the lovely gentleman who seems to own the place and speaks perfect English but unfortunately I am too upset to come back. Whoever did my nails in my first review, which is the first time I ever came is the best but there's no way to book with her on the website according to my receipt it looks like her name might be Ivy?? These were supposed to be my Christmas nails and I'm so upset.

    Unfortunately the nail technician was rough cutting my cuticles and made me bleed in the beginning. She said my skin was too dry and my skin was thin? I don't understand, then why not adjust your method. She then charged me $10 for cutting my cuticles. Plus I noticed only after there was a gap between my nail and the tip she glued on, plus her top coat was messy on my thumb. Wasn't a good job. My fullest cost $107. Maybe I need to try another person. If you're wondering why didn't you give her a one star? It's because she did try to accommodate an attempt to create a design I found on tiktok (didn't work out as they don't have gold cat eye).

    Best nail salon in the South Bay!! I love this place so so much. From the convenient location to the beautiful establishment to the quality work, everything is 5 stars. The nail techs are all very attentive and detail oriented and they listen to the client. They don't miss a single detail. This is my 2nd time coming here and this is my new spot. The prices are also very competitive, the place is super clean, they offer tea and coffee, and they have a huge selection of colors and designs as well as a big menu for pedicures.

    As a parent, this experience at The Valley Nail Bar was extremely disappointing. I took my daughter to this nail salon to get acrylic nails, and at first, we were happy with how they looked. Unfortunately, after about three weeks, the nails started falling off one by one. Some were partially broken and still attached to her natural nails, causing damage and significant pain. The broken acrylics would snag on her hair and clothing, making everyday activities uncomfortable and upsetting for her. Seeing my child in pain over something that was meant to be a fun experience was very frustrating. We went back to the salon to have the nails removed and explained what was happening. Instead of concern or accountability, we were told that acrylic nails are only meant to last about 10 days and that we should have come in for a fill. This was never explained to us at the time of service. When I questioned why this information wasn't shared, the front desk staff said they don't provide it unless customers ask. Considering the high cost of acrylic nails, it's unreasonable to expect parents to pay so much for something that lasts such a short time--especially when it causes pain and damage. The lack of empathy from the front desk staff made the situation even worse. There was no apology or understanding, despite the fact that my daughter was clearly uncomfortable. Because of the poor communication and lack of care for a child's experience, I will not be returning to this salon.

    The nail technician was very thoughtful and kind to my daughter. I decided to choose this place specifically for the hello kitty chair. They also had a variety of hello kitty nail stickers which was super cute. She had a great time- the timing is about 30 minutes for kid mani and pedi, for adults it's about an hour so my daughter had to wait a bit of time For me. Cash tip only!

    The best! I've tried nail salons all over the Bay Area & have always loved my visits here. I get Gel-X & am pretty rough with them, but never have any lifting/ peeling polish! Love their team.

    I've been to this nail bar a couple of times, before Covid, or during that timeframe! I'm not sure I'll be back after my latest experience. First off, if that mattered to you, they've dropped the 5% cash discount to just 3%, and they don't give out stamps anymore, which was kind of disappointing. Small perks like that make a difference, you know? On the bright side, Tiffany was amazing! I had a hard time narrowing down a color (I mentioned like 5-6 options), but she really took the time to help me find the perfect one. She did a fantastic job with the filing, paint, and cleanup too. Big thumbs up to her and the other lady who did my hand nails! (Sorry she didn't have her name on and with all the other conversations on I couldn't fit in the, oh what's your name).. That said, the overall experience wasn't great. The manager was a bit weird, and the team seemed rushed. She had this strict "teacher face" vibe and made me feel like I was wasting everyone's time for taking a few extra minutes to decide the color for my feet and hands. Sorry, I'll do my "homework" next time, right? It stressed me out and took the fun out of it. Also, the massage they do is so basic--it's really just lotion on your arms. Nothing relaxing about it. Pricing is pretty standard, I mean this is how much it costs in a good-looking nail bar. Again on the bright side, the salon is pretty and well maintained! Parking is easy, loads available in the shopping complex. They seem to stay busy, so definitely call ahead to check availability. At this point, I think it's time for me to try out some new nail bars and see what else is out there. I would have appreciated a warmer and welcoming experience overall, for the time and money put in.

    I've been going to The Valley Nail Bar for a couple of years now and it never lets me down! All the staff are wonderful and attentive I keep coming here because I never feel rushed it's always calm and front staff is great. Maria and Tina are my go to's :)

    My girl Tina rocked my socks off. I'm always cautious on what salon I book to get my nails done and how they turn out because I am a perfectionist. They turned out better than I could have hoped for. She continued to check in with me if I liked the shape of things and didn't do anything I didn't ask for which was wonderful! The gel polish application is so smooth I can't stop touching them! Big open vibe was nice, lots to look at. Will be back 100% the guy at the reception was so nice! Thank you!

    Another reason to begin the new year vibes with a strong set of nails. I'm loving this new cats eye design for a classy look for New Years. Helen delivered another beautiful piece of artwork.

    Always a great experience! Tiffany and Tina did a great job on my mani and pedi. They were quick and painless and paid great attention to detail.

    My nails done!! So GOOD, thank God! All the techs are amazing, thoughtful and pay attention to detail. I have been coming here for over 10 years. Absolutely bring all of my friends, family and coworkers here

    Auntie Helen knocked this out of the park. It seems simple to get a long almond/stilleto nail in ballet pink. But it's really not that simple. Helen took her time and attention and executed my request and vision perfectly. She even helped me pick the perfect color when my initial choice was out of stock. 13/10 highly recommend this shop. Thank you!

    And most of my nails look like crap and streaky.

    Are they allowing walk-ins right now (June 2021) or is it appointment only?

    They always allow walk ins. :)

    Would your staff be able to do a nude/white (2 color) gradient in acrylics?

    I've definitely seen them do this before but I strongly recommend calling in advance to ensure the technician who does this is available, they book up fast!

    Hi am looking forward to go to this nail salon and I am a male and wanted to get a full set but I didn't want to feel like am one those people who couldn't get their nails because of there gender. So I want to know if I would be accept here?

    This place is very welcoming and there are often men here getting manis and pedis. The owner does everything possible to make his customers feel valued. It might make you feel more comfortable if you call ahead and make an appointment.

    Can you host a small birthday party of about 5-8,eight year old girls? What's the cost for a child's pedicure?

    Hi, we can accommodate a party of 5-8, 8-year-old girls. A child’s pedicure is $12. Please call us directly if you would like to book an appointment or have additional questions. (408) 412-8861… Read more

    Do you offer matte black nail polish? Or matte finish? This is for gel.

    I've had multiple times where I asked my gel polish to have a matte finish (including black). They used some sort of top coat that transformed it to matte when it was complete. So I believe you can do any color and the finish coat changes it. They… Read more

    Looking for beautiful lashes and a much healthier alternative to lash extensions? Look no more!…read more I've been going to Erica for several years now to get the YUMI Lash Lift. I've tried this with 3 other aestheticians prior -- one had recommended Erica while she was traveling and the other two I never went back to because the results were mediocre and one even caused my lashes to crinkle (!!!). Btw if you don't know what a lash lift is, it's like a push-up bra for your lashes. The treatment uses chemicals to lift and curl your lashes and can last from 6-8 weeks. Because there are chemicals, it's important you go to a reputable and knowledge person that understands how to adjust the process according to your lashes to avoid damaging / over processing. Plus the treatment Erica uses has keratin which is less damaging! Although I live almost an hour drive away from Erica, I religiously drive to see her every 6-8 weeks to get my straight Asian lashes lifted. Erica is super meticulous and will get every lash (including the baby ones on the corners) lifted beautifully! I always come out feeling like a million bucks and can get away with not putting on makeup every day which saves so much time. Tl;dr I LOVE the results of getting my lashes lifted with Erica, and trust Erica 150% with my lashes!! Also, recommend doing a growth lash serum every day (like Rodan & Fields which I find works really and saw results after 2 months) to lengthen your lashes. I use this in conjunction with the YUMI Keratin lash serum Erica sells to strengthen my lashes so I can maintain healthy and beautiful lashes!

    Needed a Brazilian while my esthetician was on holiday so I looked up the highest rated locations…read moreand then read reviews until I found Nina at this location. Her name was mentioned several times all with great things to say so I scheduled the same day to find all the reviews were true. Highly recommend you book with her if visiting this location! Nina was friendly, informative, so kind, funny and overall professional. She took great care to ensure I was happy with my service. Really important to share that the waxers at EWC locations have a limited window of time to help you so it's important you show up on time so they have all that time to help you instead of doing a fast job to stay in that window. Rooms are very bright and they ask you to undress while the waxer is in the room. Not sure if this is for me as my esthetician's space has a light dimmer and she also provides privacy and a cover for you to use so you're not completely naked on your bottom half. She then uses those glasses with lights to do her job. Plays soothing music. Whole 9 yards. She also charges significantly less than this place. She charges me $45. EWC charges $70! She can't be beat especially when she books out an hour for your Brazilian vs the 15 minutes waxers get here. Place likely won't be one I come back to regularly but I will return for Nina when I need to.

    I had such a wonderful experience and just had to share! Rosemary did my armpit wax, and she was…read moreabsolutely amazing. She made me feel so comfortable from start to finish super professional, gentle, and genuinely kind. You can tell she really cares about her clients and takes pride in her work. Also, a big shoutout to Gabby at the front desk! She checked me in and was incredibly polite, welcoming, and caring. Her warm personality really set the tone for the whole visit. Both of them made the experience smooth, comfortable, and honestly enjoyable. I highly recommend coming here you'll be in such great hands!
