Top 16 Reviews Nail and Spa San Jose, CA new update 2

Lyn Villanueva I Saw Rosie nail spa when I was going to Safeway to get groceries. So today I went and tried it out, and I was so happy with the spa like treatment I received, the attention, the kindness, and excellent work on my manicure and pedicure! This will definitely be my new place! They also offer Clients Several types of beverages, including Red and white wine! In addition, the prices were fair, especially considering the great service i received!

Galina Chzhen Big and bright space, modern interior, nice music, complimentary drinks and madeleines. Always friendly staff, I truly suggest this business! This time I went for a more natural look and Lucy did a great job! Have done acrylic nails with here with ombré and it looked very beautiful but my own nails were filed down a lot - not sure if it’s a requirement when doing fake nails. Just make sure to ask not to file a lot if you didn’t want it. I do my eyelashes extensions with Myy here, she is very sweet! Pedicure (gel) done by Kevin lasted me over a month, he does a wonderful job! Bring your besties and pamper yourself. They even offer champagne or mimosas ;)

Amanda Tapia Came here for the first time last week and had a horrible experience. I have never left a bad review anywhere. The interior is beautiful, but the nail work was horrible. I have never had such a poor French tip done out of all the nail salons I’ve visited. The next day after I got my nails done, multiple nails started chipping. Not to mention, the lines were not done well and some of my gel was left super thick. I also asked for regular polish on my toes and they gave me gel, and charged me for it. I repeated regular polish multiple times and it was still done as gel. I called to see if I could come in and get my nails re done, one single color as it seems the French tip is poor quality so even if I got the tips re done, the rest will keep chipping. But they refused to change to a single color, and said they would only fix the French tip within a week. So I’m supposed to come back everytime a single nail chips, and I’m sure they will continue to chip after the week. Such a waste of $120 and bad customer service. Choose another salon.

Raquel Raygoza Came in to try this new nail salon and so glad I did! I just moved to the area and I tried another salon previously and wasn’t too satisfied with my experience so I hoped to have a better experience here to do my acrylic fill and the staff took great care of me! They were happy to take me. I came in last min hoping they would have time to accommodate me and as soon as I walked in they took care of me, gave me some water and even offered to do my toes at the same time so it was hard to say no:) not only do they give great service but my nails came out so cute !! Can’t wait to come back again.

Sehej Anand visiting from out of town and walked into this spot. it was a very relaxing space. staff is very kind and professional. i really enjoyed coming here; however, I did have some cuts under my nails which hurt for a few days. I’m still giving a 5 as it is a new business that has potential to succeed and I’ll be back (hopefully) this summer!

Daiana Tineo I had such a great experience at Tipsy Toes! The salon is clean, beautifully decorated, and has a relaxing atmosphere. The staff was welcoming and professional from the moment I walked in. My nails turned out flawless, and they’ve lasted beautifully. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends. If you’re looking for high-quality service and a great overall experience, this is the place to go!

Jordyn Quen Mayra did my gel x nails just like what I had asked for & super fast it took maybe just over an hour & I get really long nails! They’re super accommodating & do exactly what you ask for. During the whole visit she kept making sure I liked how they were turning out. I’ve been there many times & with other stylists & they have always perfectly met my needs. (Galaxy & centipede are by Mayra & the pink w. The black designs was Hanna I believe)

Chelsea My daughter and I always get our nails done here and they do such an amazing job!! Everyone is amazing ! I highly recommend Ivy , Helen , or Hannah for designs . Hannah has been doing mine recently ( the cheetah print nails and the colorful eye ) and I have not been disappointed . I always receive so many compliments .

Monica Ranglani I had blood coming out of one finger(index finger) while the person was filing my nail. I had to tell her to stop, as it was hurting. It’s been two days now and every freaking finger nail and cuticle hurts. I am travelling and this definitely has ruined it for me. Won’t recommend this place. The redness in index finger is still there and I don’t know why my cuticle looks like this!!!!!!

Suchismita Sahu Pedicure was good. Manicure was NOT. They didn’t understand what design I wanted and did a poor job at executing whatever they at least could. I was left with uneven paint on the nail and air bubbles on the nails. I asked for Oval shape and grew my natural nails for that - They cut it too short and made it sadly very round. Very disappointed. I would recommend please assigning someone who knows something for new folks coming in so they have a good experience. I will not be coming for my nails here ever again.

Teri Brown I have been going to Luxury since they opened. I have been extremely happy with Tram and Luxury Nail Spa. She does a great job and Bo the owner is very personable and takes time to talk to all his clients. I highly recommend Luxury Nail Spa. Ask for Tram, she’s the best!!!

Liz P. Update on July 2024: Im writing this review while sitting in their new massage chairs--great chairs. Cindy, who is new to this spa, is giving me a Tangerine gel pedicure. Shes so sweet and has a lovely personality. I love how gentle and attentive she is to detail, and she takes pride in her work. My toes look fabulous. I havent had a bad experience here, and I think Cindy is a wonderful addition to Luxury Nails Spa. Ill definitely be requesting her next time. At the moment, shes off on Tuesdays, but works all other days of the week. Thanks Cindy! Five-star service! Luxury Nails Spa stands out as a terrific destination for manicures and pedicures. Over the years, Ive frequented this establishment, consistently appreciating its pristine environment, spacious open layout, and the professionalism of the nail stylists. The male owner is incredibly friendly and welcoming. While I usually schedule appointments, I imagine they also accommodate walk-in customers. In our locality, nail salons abound, with one practically every half a mile on both sides of the streets. Its a fiercely competitive area. However, having explored numerous alternatives in the vicinity, I continue to choose Luxury Nails Spa due to its commitment to cleanliness, top-notch professionalism, and overall quality of their work. Unlike some of the other mentioned reviews, I’ve never had a problem and I take my family there too. The ambiance is inviting, relaxed, and friendly. Moreover, theres an absence of the typical nail salon odors, creating a genuinely comfortable and health-conscious atmosphere during your visit. The owners clearly invested in a good air circulation system. And I personally appreciate not inhaling toxicity like some of the other stuffy salons. They do good work and their prices are quite competitive and some services are more affordable than other places.

Alvarez Daisy (4oh8mommy) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I absolutely love getting my nails done by Hanna! She is incredibly talented, detail-oriented, and always make sure my nails look perfect. The atmosphere is always welcoming, and the staff goes above and beyond to make sure I’m happy with the results. Whether it’s a simple manicure or a more intricate design, they never disappoint. My nails last for weeks, and I always get so many compliments! If you’re looking for a skilled and professional nail tech, I highly recommend Hanna For pedicures I usually go with whoever is available, never had an issue… my feet always feel pampered and look cute

Reka Kovacs I can’t say enough good things about Jackie and Hanna at Nails 4 You & Spa! My friend actually found this place about three years ago, and we’ve been loyal clients ever since. From the very first visit, we knew we’d struck gold. Jackie and Hanna are both so talented and welcoming, and they make the entire experience feel special every single time. Jackie is incredibly skilled and creative—she somehow knows exactly what I want every time, even if I come in with the weirdest idea. Her attention to detail is amazing, and my nails always come out looking flawless and exactly how I imagined, if not better. It’s clear that she genuinely loves what she does, and that passion shows in her work. Hanna is just as wonderful! She has such a warm personality and makes sure you feel totally relaxed and taken care of. She remembers little details about our lives, and it feels like catching up with a friend every time we go. What’s also fantastic is that the prices here are super reasonable, especially for the quality of work you’re getting. It’s not easy to find a place that combines top-notch skill, a welcoming atmosphere, and affordability, but Jackie and Hanna have nailed it! Plus, they’re really flexible with scheduling, and you can usually book an appointment on the same day, which is such a lifesaver when you have a busy week. If you’re looking for a spot where you’ll get amazing nails and feel right at home, this is it. Jackie and Hanna have turned Nails 4 You & Spa into a hidden gem that I’m so happy we found. I honestly can’t imagine going anywhere else!

Deborah Pineda I had an amazing experience! The service was top-notch, and my nails turned out absolutely stunning. Im thrilled with the results!

Isabel Youngs I love this place so much they have always been so sweet to me and done Ana amazing job!! Sandy is very talented and does my nails every time!!!

Desiree Petree Came in for a fill. Left with this ridiculous mess. Being this is their specialty and profession, Id expect to be warned that not removing the type would wreck my set to just start over. Instead I pay $40 for this. Nice people, Im sure is great when she starts fresh. But look at my nails. Its embarrassing

Karen Dippel Its always easy to schedule an appointment and the service is top notch. I have been coming here for years and the quality of service is consistently great—way better than other places Ive been. I always leave happy after my pedicure, manicure and waxing. I highly recommend!

Tina My all time favorite nail salon! I’ve been going to Julie for all my nail needs. No one I trust with my nails as her! I love crisp French tip nails and she always delivers! Julie is patient and makes sure the customer leaves happy! The store is nice and clean, which is a big deal for me. The staff is also friendly! I love how attentive the staff are.

selinnilesy What I showed them vs what I got. Been here 3 times. Manager of technicians is also the cashier of the place, and she is a bit meh. The problem was that I did not know my design needed a transparent base, but they did not prefer to fix it either. My technician was Maddy and she was always nice and hardworking. However she does not communicate well, for example when selecting the base color for the dip ombre. I paid a full charge and left unhappy and they were aware.

Wheres Tawny This is THE pedicure spot in my humble opinion. I always get the deluxe and not many places will do hot stone massage with every pedicure package, but this place does that. My deluxe also comes with paraffin wax & massage. They even serve complimentary beverages like tea, coffee, water, and sparkling water. The workers don’t have ful blown conversations in their native language like many other places, which I appreciate (I’m Vietnamese, so I understand it all, but I’m just speaking up for my other girlies). So this is definitely a relaxing vibe kind of place. It’s usually very quiet when I go even with the salon chairs all filled. If you do come here please say hi to Julie the manager there, she’s the best!

Rosa Castaneda Sophia is the very best. Every time I give her pictures of crazy off-the-wall design every time satisfied with the detail to art. She is great with my daughter as well she always needs to tag along to see all her friends. All the other girls tend to her like if she’s they’re own. such a family oriented feel of a place been going here about six years plus now and I absolutely love them. They’re the best. I definitely recommend. don’t get me started on the pedicures. They’re the absolute best.

Rose Abesamis Excellent service. They welcome you with very sweet greetings. The owner is very active and hands on to whatever customer needs. However I just dont like when the owner scolds employees (in their language) in front of customers. But I know for sure that he just wanted the service to be good and with customer satisfaction. Amy is my favorite. I have been to many places but I couldnt find a good one until I met Amy. She is the reason why I chose this place. She will listen to your request and consistently good.

Sabrina Martinez First timer here and Anna was amazing, super sweet and I didn’t even have to tell her about how I like it or want it, she just knew. Sofia understand everything with just looking at a photo, I was amazed with both ladies. Will definitely be back: they didn’t make you feel uncomfortable and Super reasonable prices..

Camber Governski Wonderful service & beautiful nails! Took my cousin in for her first Pedicure and she loved it! The actual nails were stunning and I just got a normal polish manicure that turned out perfect! They have gel, acrylic (only one tech does this) and dip. Will definitely be back.

Aaradhana Sethi It’s honestly the cutest place with the most polite people there!! I was so confused with the colors, but they were so kind enough to help me and told me to take my time. They even applied the colors to show me how they would look!! Prices are good as well. They did such an amazing job!! Such a cozy place. Love it!! The name has changed, so just keep that in mind. Will be definitely be going back.

Lt Finesse Now dont get me wrong... the place was super cute and the ladies were nice and tge name is completely different then online buttttt it hasnt even been a week and I paid extra for gel and my nails are chipping .... came here from across town because of the wonderful reviews but had I had known that 4 to 5 days my nails would be chipping I wouldnt have paid extra for gel or came at all its almost like she kept going over it to fix all her mistakes

Kiele Faulk Vivian was my nail tech and she was so lovely! Absolutely love how my nails turned out, it was my first time doing gel x! I definitely will go back to refill

Mark Hassin This is our second visit to Elite Nails. As a man, it can be a bit uncomfortable going to nail salons, but the staff here are very welcoming, and the service is excellent. We had the Royal pedicure, which was an hour of pure relaxation and pampering. They treated my dad with great respect, which I really appreciated. My sister chose different colors for her gel nails and said they did an amazing job. Vivial and the owner (I forgot her name!) are both fantastic.

Shadeh The ladies at Elite Nails were so lovely when I came in! My nail tech, Vivian, was very attentive and made sure I liked how my nails were turning out every step of the way. I don’t get my nails done often and I was really happy with the way I was treated and the pricing! Will definitely continue to come back to Elite Nails and I highly recommend it!

Jyoti Dharmakumar I called and went here first my nails. She charged me $75 for nails!!! This place is a rip off! The service was ok but its ridiculously expensive compared to any other place.

Cristina Castellanos Best gel nails ever. They repaired a bad acrylic job, replacing it with gel base and gel paint on top, with a technique to ensure the painted tips were well sealed and attached to the gel base. Super gentle with my nails to ensure the least damage. Everything was super clean, and the pedicure chairs look new.

Elizabeth Shannon I have gone to this salon since it opened, and to Le and Tiffany even before that. This is a great nail salon, and the manicurists are incredible. Theyve been doing nails for decades. Their gel nails are perfect. They are friendly, polite, and efficient. I cant say enough about their skills!

Samantha Moreno Leipchack Okay so, I personally did not go to this place (thank goodness). I am writing this review for my friend who has been so distraught after her visit here. If I could ZERO star I would. My friend came in asking for a simple ombré nail. What she got was a terribly done French tip of some sort, honestly I don’t even know what it’s supposed to be. She even tried to tell the nail technician it wasn’t what she wanted and she said “I already started”. Now I’m not saying this lady isn’t a good nail tech.. I’m just saying her eyesight may be a little off or something. My friend needed these nails for her engagement shoot and now she has to cancel it because she doesn’t have time to go get them fixed. She was too nice to say anything to the lady so that’s why I’m here. I’ve attached the pictures because y’all probably think I’m over reacting till you see what I’m talking about.

Evelyn Zepeda One of the worst places Ive been to. Their customer service was very insulting. The lack of english and rude behavior has drove me away indefinitely. Not only that, but their nail polish must have been old, because the day after my last appointment, the nail polish started chipping.

Arian Khorsand DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE!!! I AM BEGGING YOU ALL. I went their first a simply pedicure and I saw a rat nibbling on a cockroach on the corner of the building, i informed one of the staff, and she just said “it is fine”. Next up, you might be wondering how they clean their tools that they use for nails....they run them under water....this is vile and disgusting please don’t go here for your own health and safety

Anna Arsaeva I highly recommend Master Dasha and Chinara! My manicure was absolutely perfect, just what I wanted. The attention to detail and professionalism were outstanding. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Janette Wong I’ve been here a few times and am pleased with their work. I can only speak for their hard gel manicure since I do them regularly as maintenance thing It’s appointment only and in a tiny office building with ample parking since it’s healthcare and tutoring businesses mostly. The place is clean and spacious, very meticulous on the millennial pink theme. They also have a separate area/business in the same suite (room behind the manicure + pedicure stations) doing lash/brows and waxing. They’re not chatty with the clients but they are professional. They speak Russian with each other and even with my limited listening comprehension, I can tell you that they aren’t gossiping about/saying mean things about the clients (they don’t even cuss). When you get a Russian/dry manicure, the focus is on good cuticles, good nail shaping, and with hard gel, building the correct apex. I’ve had different nail techs and they are all meticulous about their basics. I’ve asked them about nail art and seen what they do on others and while they can do some basic things, fancy nail art is really a completely separate specialty. The thing you might not be used to is them manipulating your hand in different positions so they can get the product to cover your nail completely to the edges and to build up that apex. That apex is key to giving your nail extra strength as it grows. It’s not something that gets as much focus on in conventional gel manicures that simply uses gel as an all over layer of polish. Hard gel is thicker than gel polish but it’s in no way as thick as acrylic. They also offer soft gel but I have not tried that and can’t offer an opinion. They informed me it is a better option if you have thinner, flexible nails. They’ve updated their estimated time to finish a hard gel manicure because it is most definitely more than 1 hour (ie. The estimation when I first started getting these done in summer 2024). I appreciate this because even though I’m just getting my old hard gel removed and a single color done, this is NOT the kind of work you can get knocked out during a lunch break. Their prices and estimate time it takes to do basic things are listed on the booking website but if you are on a strict schedule, you need to communicate that to them and see if they can do your nail art in the time allotted Aside from the typical growth, this kind of manicure can safely stretch out to 6 weeks for me personally (and I’m not particularly careful with my hands) without the gel peeling off the nail at the edges, my nail breaking underneath it, or it cracking. My nails are normally pretty healthy and this generally just ensures that they won’t break as they grow. These are workhorse nails and is the reason I keep coming back. I think that if you understand what this kind of manicure entails and that it’s a different from conventional manicures, you can benefit a lot from it. If you’re looking more for things like lots of color options/nail art, conversation, a pampering spa experience, there are plenty of salons at different price points, within a 5 mile radius, that aren’t appointment-only that you can go to. If you want a more quiet experience and a quality manicure that lasts, this is an excellent choice

zahra anari This salon is a scam! I booked with Chinara because they shared so many good french tip nails in their instagram page presenting under her work! But she said it was her second time doing a french tip and she didn’t even want to do it accepting she is not good at it! I asked her to reschedule my appointment with someone else but she just chose to do the french tip anyway! She was so rude and nervous and unprofessional! The worst part is that she double charged me for a french tip and charged me for acrylic removal which I didn’t have any on my nails before starting her work! And it’s because she knew she wouldn’t get a tip so she decided to add extra items to my bill! I had to remove and redo my nails at another salon! See the difference in the pictures!

navreen kang I had Ping to do my manicure and Linh did my pedicure and they are absolutely amazing!!!! My service was quick and so relaxing! It’s not loud in here at all, the girls are extremely professional and they let me change my decision of my color within making me feel bad about it ! I love it here I’ll be back for sure

Cherryl Marie Dahilig Great customer service! Sophia did an excellent job on my manicure! She suggested a beautiful color for my nails that complemented my skin color. My hands are dry and my nails are dark. I can’t often wear nail polish due to my work. But Sophia made them look pretty again! Queenie did an equally great job on my pedicure and meticulously made sure my nails are on point. Price is reasonably affordable. Other places charge more but they do shitty job that lasts for only a few days. I’ll definitely come back here! They don’t rush you either! Dont forget to ask for their points system so you get discounts next time. Happy customer here!

Nancy Huynh Wow, Day Nail Bar reminded me why I love getting my nails done. Kim did an amazing job with my pedi. It was my first time doing a french tip pedi and she made it look so easy. Sophia did my gelx mani and I’m in love with the set. She was patient with me and took her time with the little details. I definitely recommend coming here for your mani/pedi needs. The staff here are great and the ambience is chill. I’ll be back!

Marne Chiccarelli Was out of town and needed an emergency gel manicure. Ann did such a great job I squeezed in a pedicure. The polish was meticulous and she even went the extra mile to add a base color so enhance the pink sparkles I chose. Massage was amazing and I left feeling refreshed after being on my feet all day.

Jen D This is honestly the best nail salon around! Ive moved 3 times in the last 2 years and even though I live an hour away this will always be my go to spot to get the best quality nails. My normal technician is Lilly and she does an absolutely beautiful job every time. Yesterday I had the pleasure of having my nails done by Trinh who typically does my daughters nails. She is a true artist! She did a very detailed amazing job on my nails! The design and shape are always perfect with these ladies. I also must add that these nails do not break easily. Ive been to many nail salons where just a day or two later my nails have popped off. In the last several years I cant think of a single time Ive broken a nail less than 2 weeks after getting them done.

Ally Hikido I loved my manicure from Shelly. I gave her creative freedom and she didn’t disappoint. Love the Halloween theme ♥️. Definitely will keep coming back!

What is going oOn Nice group of girls. Let them know what you want, theyll assess and do. Not expensive. They do a beautiful job and at the best price. Come and support and get your nails done here, you wont regret it. My mom comes all the time, shes been coming here for years and shes a picky lady, but she loves it here.

Sandra Paez This is my first time getting a manicure and they gave me EXACTLY what I was looking for! Ive neglected my nail care and both my hand and foot nails/skin were in pretty rough shape. I got a gel pedicure and gel manicure w/ nail extension. For $100 I got: - foot soak (pedicure) -foot exfoliation (pedicure) -cuticle care(pedicure) -nail clipping + shaping (pedicure) -foot and calf massage (pedicure) -hot stone massage (pedicure) -cuticle oil (pedicure) -gel nail polish (pedicure) -nail extension (manicure) -cuticle care(manicure) -nail shaping (manicure) -gel nail polish (manicure) -cuticle oil (manicure) I cant believe how nice my nails look now! The extensions look so natural that my family didnt realize I had nail extensions. Note: The nail color is more rose-gold/copper IRL but it looks more gold in pictures.

Jetzemani Diaz Villalobos BEST NAIL SALON I HAVE BEEN TO!!! The first time I came to their salon was the day before my wedding. I had an appointment with another salon but they cancelled on me last minute and I was devastated as I live in Reno, Nevada and I panicked not knowing any other salons. I called Venice explaining my situation and they let me come in immediately. They even let 4 of my bridesmaids get their nails done with me! I had such a beautiful and relaxing experience that day and I loved how they got all our nails exactly like we wanted them. Ive gone 3 more times and every single time Ive gone they have made me feel like a goddess! I definitely recommend Lee for acrylics and designs as she loves to take her time and makes sure they are perfectly how you want them before walking out but then again all the other ladies have been spectacular. I cant wait to go back!!!!!
