Writing this review for my gf, This place is so bad the nails don't even look like what she referenced.. U can still see her actual nail and they're not shaped right. Also the color is a tan/brown and no where near the pink shine she asked for save ur money and time do not go here LMFAO.

My wife had zero complaints and she says that they provided exactly what she wanted. The nail tech asked if she had a photo of what she wants a gave her exactly that. We'll have to see how the nails hold up. If they hold well, then I'm sure my wife will be back.

It was my first time going here and I LOVED the way Kelly shaped my nails Definitely coming back

Never disappoint. Vivian is an artist and her ability to do exactly what you want is amazing.

I've been coming here off and on since I was in high school. Currently a few years out of college and I've been recently coming back to Vivian for my acrylic nails. She's tried to accommodate my design ideas and I've been fairly happy with each time I go to her. I've always felt pretty rushed since I have to book after 5pm so I started booking weekends mid day so she can take her time. I recently had her cancel an appointment and change me to a weekday appointment after 5pm. This wasn't a problem for me so didn't think too much of it. I started my appointment and she ended up going to file another clients nails while she was still doing mine. She ended up finishing my fill in 35 minutes. Normally I would be happy that I was in and out pretty quickly but from the result of my nails I'm disappointed. You can see where the separation of the nails underneath the new fill (maybe the previous set wasn't fully removed?) they're uneven and much shorter than I wanted. I want to support this salon because I've been going here forever but the feeling of being rushed and my nails looking sloppy has made me not wanting to go back.

my favorite place to get my nails done in san jose, by a LONG SHOT. Vivian and Kelly are amazing, warm and so talented. They never miss.

This is the best nail salon I've found in the whole Bay Area!! Vivian is a true artist. If you're looking for the most unique and creative 3D acrylic nail art..then you've found your new home. There are very few artists here that do this style of nails..it is a sculptural Japanese style where she uses an acrylic powder to mold tiny shapes - hearts, bows, flowers..you name it. The possibilities are endless and it's truly magical to watch her work! I generally design all of my own nails..after countless searches through Japanese nail magazines..though checking out Vivian's past designs and tweaking them (changing the color scheme etc.) is another option if you're not feeling very creative. Vivian has a beautiful eye and design aesthetic so she can def guide you in the right direction. She can almost always achieve any design you find online too. All of the girls in the shop are amazing. Their deluxe pedicure is to die for and their color selection is huge. I've been going to Vivian for maybe 8 or so years now and the whole crew has become family. Absolutely love it here :)

This place is a life saver! I had an appointment with a nail tech from a different nail salon that canceled on me without any notice. I was frustrated and desperate to find another salon and tech that could fit me in last minute. Once I ran across Vivian's nail bar on yelp, I called immediately and Vivian made a way to fit me in! I wanted my nails designs to be dope and blinged for my 30th birthday and they were just that!! I enjoy when creatives can freestyle. Vivian took one look at the 5 photos I like bed and went from there! I lovvvvvveeeeddd my nails!!! I got my nails done on the 10th of April... it's now April 25th and they still look great. Not only are the quality of their work is remarkable, but the customer service and hospitality is awesome! This is my new spot! 5/29- my second time going to Vivian and she killed it again!!! Ugh... I just love her work! I let her freestyle Bc I trust her. I simply told her I wanted unicorn nails and she executed effortlessly!

This is my second time coming and I love their pedicures treatment! My friend brought me because…read morethis is not a place I would have found on my own. It's a little gem tucked away in a plaza and I'm so happy she brought me as a guest the first time. I went for the middle tier pedicure treatment option, and it's such a relaxing experience, they wrap a warm towel around your neck and after soaking your feet , depending on the tier, you get a hot stone massage. I got the 17 minute one and once my technician started to massage, with the combination of the warm towel, I fell asleep and had a little 15 min nap. Best feeling ever! I like that they don't pressure you for gel polish or to move to a higher tier treatment, that's my concern with most nail salons. The pedicure chairs are comfy and all the nail technicians are sweet and friendly. It's a cozy setting and I would definitely return back.

I called this morning and confirmed an appointment for 1:30 PM. However, when I arrived, I was left…read morewaiting at the front desk for a long time. After checking in, a staff member simply pointed me toward a chair to soak my feet. No one spoke to me for the next 20 minutes, and my feet were left soaking in cold water. A technician briefly approached me but walked away again. The service didn't actually begin until 1:55 PM. At the start, the technician seemed somewhat impatient, repeatedly telling me to lift my feet higher for the scrub. To her credit, she was polite enough to double-check with me that the nail polish color would be quite sheer. The entire service wrapped up by 2:40 PM. If you are just looking for a rushed, quick appointment, this place might work for you. However, if you are looking for a high-quality, relaxing experience, I would highly recommend going elsewhere.
