Top Reviews about 19 Nail Salons in Sunnyvale, CA

chloe alcairo I have been coming to this salon for 10 years and I highly recommend ONLY Raj! She is amazing and she done an amazing job on my eyebrows, always. I only trust her with my eyebrows, I refuse to go with anyone else! She’s on point every time. She only works Saturday and Sundays. I have told my friends and family to come here and they all love her!

Juliana Regalado I have been getting my eyebrows done with Gurpeet . She does an excellent job and their prices are very affordable!

Sukhmani Sehgal Durga is great at what she does: threading, waxing, etc. Super quick, painless, and great results. I come to her whenever I can. Very good service.

K S This was my first visit to this nail salon, and I had an absolutely amazing experience—definitely a 10 out of 10! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcomed and at ease. Mandy, went above and beyond to ensure I was happy with my service. She was incredibly friendly, patient, and helpful when it came to selecting the perfect color for my nails. She worked quickly without sacrificing quality. I left with beautiful nails and a big smile!

Vanessa Michau Tee was recommended to me through a friend. I drove 45 minute to get here and it was worth the drive. I’ve been looking for a ride or die nail tech and I’ve found my guy! Tee is conversational, but super meticulous. He was so attentive and sweet. I’m looking forward to my next appointment!

Alice Bui Ive been getting my nails done for a while, and I used to always just pay for the gel manicure and it wasn’t until I’ve visited this location where I was introduced to gel builder! Gel builder has been a game changer! It’s a lot more thicker but still natural looking, and I haven’t chipped or broke a nail since! I’ve been coming here for a while now and I’ve loved my experience every time! Tiffany does an amazing job with my nails, and she’s so nice and patient with me. Tiffany understands my style and she always recommends the best color combinations. Im obsessed with the recent session. 884 Floral Fields with chrome! Ask for Tiffany when you book your appointment! You won’t be disappointed!!

layla el ouezzani Its been 3 years since i started going to Hannah and im all time happy with the result, either for the Brazilian blowout or for the waxing service.

Armaan Singh This place is run by people who are disgrace to humanity. Very rude and mannerless lady. She uses fake products that will burn ur skin. BEWARE. STAY AWAY

Herhairgame Hannah’s very quick and definitely makes your fill comfortable. She’s my go too. I’m so happy I found her.

Alexandra Flinn I booked an appointment day-of and had my GelX nails done by Rose. She was very professional, friendly, kind, and talented. I’m definitely coming back!

Claire Qin Hoa ngo did a beautiful job on my ombré pink glitter nails. It was my sister and I’s first time going to a nail salon ever. They set the bar high! All the ladies were so friendly and the customer service attitude was great! They also gave me a mask because of the product smell. Will def come back….Will definitely recommend to friends in the area interested in a manicure!

Angela Hofrichter Update: I went back in and Rose fixed my nails very nicely. I appreciate the effort she put in to make sure my nails were what I wanted them to be. My nail tech did a great job with my acrylic fill and the shaping of my nails. But the French tips left much to be desired. The lines are not at all straight and the color is splotchy at best. I ran out of time and short on patience otherwise I might have tried to have it fixed.

Valerie Tribujenia Got a groupOn for this place, the lady is nice, she took her time explaining what lashes would look good based on my eye shape. It was good consultation for someone who hasnt had lashes at all. She was also gentle, the set up was comfortable, she offered a blanket and pillow under my knees as well. She got good after care instructions and you can see her work on IG. I just think lashes are for special occasions, i dont think id do it on a regular basis. I wouldnt mind going back if i decide to continue on with it. VICKY is very nice and cares for her business.

Bingying Ma Came from Groupon. Had a wonderful experience at this nail salon. The nail technician was incredibly attentive and patient throughout my entire service. The nail care was thorough - she took her time with cuticle removal and the hand/foot massage was very relaxing and professional. While the color selection was somewhat limited and didnt have the exact shade I was looking for, the owner went above and beyond to help mix and match colors to recreate my desired look. The salon is clean and cozy. Although they could benefit from expanding their color options, the excellent service and attention to detail make this place worth returning to.

Jillian Aceves DO NOT go to this location unless you have like 4 hours to spend doing nothing. They had one person working. And so if you go with friends or family as I did. You will have to take turns and you cant sit and visit with the people you went with in less it is just 1 other person. It is a very small place. Not very many colors to pick from,and the colors she has if you want your finger nails and toe nails to match forget it. It wont happen here. This place charges WAY to much.

Divya kathiravan I visited this salon after a disappointing experience with another local place, and I’m so glad I did! I called to check if they could accommodate a waxing appointment in 20 minutes, and they immediately confirmed. I opted for their chocolate waxing service since I have sensitive skin, and it was fantastic. Having tried several places around the Bay Area, this one stands out for its excellent value and quality service. Navpreet did an amazing job—quick, efficient, and very professional. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be returning!

Oindrila Dawn Ive been a regular at this salon for threading for quite some time, and they consistently deliver great results. This time, I decided to try their facial, and I was equally impressed! A special shoutout to Aman. She does an absolutely amazing job with threading and facials, etc. The rest of the staff are also pretty welcoming. Jyoti, the owner, is pretty accommodating and always tries to go the extra mile to ensure a great experience. Overall, I highly recommend them.

Aishwarya M iyengar Best haircut i got here in bayarea. I got haircut from naina. She is very good in all kind of hair cut. Extremely friendly and i definitely recommend. Also if you are looking for painless eyebrow threading, do with naina, literally painless compared to others. Overall loved the experience

Veronica Esquivias My mother and I went to get our eyebrows waxed here, and it was a painful experience. When we returned the next day, the staff kept telling us that we have sensitive skin and that our eyes looked fine. They almost convinced us that its normal. I dont usually rate my visits but I dont recommend going to this place for eyebrow waxing. I have posted pictures of our after look, you can judge whether or not its normal.

Nikki Mishra Excellent customer service. Friendly staff, clean salon, and my nails turned out perfect. Good selection of colors and efficient service. Will definitely return.

Mike Padilla I really like the pedicure service, very helpful and friendly.

Moe *I wrote and posted this review on the day I received the service at this salon, but my review got deleted on the next day. This is the repost of my original review. Also seems like the other one star review wrote by someone other about a couple of week ago also got deleted. Very bad experience with the owner. Would rate 0 stars if possible! Like other reviews have said, this salon is very money hungry and shady. I went to go get my gel nails removed, and booked the appointment online. The online menu led me to believe that the removal would cost $15 dollars (though after carefully looking at the menu and interpreting the broken and grammatically incorrect English, I realized it would be $45). I received confirmation emails, none of which had any pricing information but did have the service requested: "only gel remove - no new set" (which online is $45). When I went to the salon, the conversation with her wasnt too pleasant as she was bashing other salons in the area. When it came time to pay, the register rang up at $60!! She didnt explain the charges and seemed rushed and annoyed since another customer was waiting (p.s. be aware this salon does charge a credit card fee). She made me feel pressured to not ask any questions and to hurry up and pay. After returning home, I decided to call the salon because a $15 discrepancy is pretty significant. Her attitude over the phone was bad, and she claimed that she had told me that "cutting and filing" cost an $15 and thats where it got added on to the $45 price . I was asked during the appointment if I wanted my nails cut after the removal, but there was no mention from her that it would be an extra charge, nor does it say anywhere on her online site that that is a provided service associated with a charge (and she lists multiple extra charges so I find it hard that that was an omission). Additionally, she claimed that it was posted on a menu with prices, however I never saw the menu nor was I shown one before I could make a decision. Overall during the phone call, she was rude and seemed completely content with her business practices. What happened happened, and it cant be helped, but it seems shady that she would just arbitrarily add charges without being upfront and transparent about the cost (and it seems like reading other reviews that other customers have had similar experiences too). What I found more disappointing than the charges though, was her attitude and tone when dealing with this ordeal. Future customers, tread lightly and beware. Best be very clear and ask about charges before agreeing to anything at this salon. Very unfortunate and disappointing experience. Edit: Turns out she cut and filed my nails way too short. She was in rush while she was cutting my nails. Its bleeding and applying any pressure on it causes a lot of pain. Really not a great experience at all. Highly do not recommend.

Jade New Finding the location may be tricky, its located inside Salon Republic where multiple independent artists have their own rooms. Its right on the corner of Target. Yuka and Marie are very friendly and really make sure they do a stellar job. Theyre meticulous and careful and very talented artists! I was lucky to call ahead and get a same day appointment, but making an appointment is definitely recommended as their art can take some time, (thats why it looks so pretty!) I felt very comfortable the whole time, Marie also made sure to ask questions along the way :)

Kellie Rong Posting my Yelp review here to help support Yuka’s business! Yuka was absolutely incredible! Ive been scarred by other nail salons attempting to do really simple nail art and failing miserably, but Yuka restored all my hopes & dreams. She was super easy to communicate with leading up to the appointment and transparent with her quotes. Its definitely a splurge, so be ready for that, but the end result is worth it. Shes very detail-oriented and fully recreated what I was hoping for. Thank you, Yuka! Its definitely one less thing to stress about prior to my honeymoon :)

Ultra Violet I did a walk in appointment around 1pm. I’ve been here one other time and loved the atmosphere. The ladies doing nails are so nice. They also didn’t rush doing my nails and took time. I tried GelX nails and they were also happy to size the nails to my preferred length. Overall, I had a great experience and was happy they accommodated me! Thank you Elegance Nails and Spa!

Jonelle Dinglasa This was my second time coming to the salon. I was please with my first experience with Yen and wanted to come back for my birthday nails. I spoke the Emily (whom I believe is the manager) and sent her a picture of the design I wanted. Yen learned how to do the 3D flower design the same day I came in. Ivy did my pedicure and she was nice just like everybody else in the salon. I strongly recommend coming in!

Vanessa Kumnoonsate I came here with my cousin for both of our first nail appointments, and the ladies made it a wonderful experience! Although it was a busy evening and my appointment was pushed back a bit, they made sure to accommodate us. My appointment ended up running past closing time, but Yen, my nail tech, never rushed and took her time to make sure my nails turned out great. I’m really happy with the results! Overall, the customer service was excellent, and I really appreciate them staying late for us. Plus, they even gave us snacks!

Sai Prabhakar I always have good experience with my hair cut here. Brenda takes the time and doesnt rush through the cut and always gives me the cut I ask for. The place gets busy sometimes so call ahead for a reservation. This is a no-nonsense clean place, the staffs are nice, and is quite affordable at 18$ for the cut.

Jerome Demers Very kind and we were able to get hair cut with no reservations. Price is very fair for men hair cut. Will come back.

Abbi Jain I have been coming here for over 10 years and very friendly and accommodating staff. Very good service at a reasonable price. Got my kids first hair cut here too. Thanks for your great service over the years

Ellie Furness I can’t overstate how skilled the team here is. Alley worked with me to achieve an extremely unique design that I could only describe to her and the results were stunning. The most gentle and delicate work I have experienced. I am beyond pleased and will be recommending this spot to friends and family.

Gege Or The Best nail services: I’ve been around for the longest time, travel all over the world, and never have nail services as good as Wen’s! I was referred by a good friend, and this is my first time to this salon, I have gel nail service, cat eyes, manicure and pedicure…., due to my nails was crooked n have been abused from many nails salon before, it took Alley 4 hours to fix all my nails, she was helpful, the owner was kind n did not rush me at all, top-notch services, from making appointment n explaining all of my questions. I am so lucky to find them, if you in need of the best nail service experience, this is the place to go! **** still going strong, after six months of services, it’s only gets better, and I see the improvement of my nails condition, thanks again Wan♥️

Libby Li This salon and spa is amazing! Ive been getting my nails done here for the last few months and plan to continue to do so. I get gel nails with builder gel, and they always last 6+ weeks without very minimal or no chipping. Alley is really meticulous and great with designs as well; she hand painted intricate designs perfectly for me in the past. I also have gotten lash extensions here before as well, and the retention is really good. I usually only do them for special occasions so I dont typically go in for fills, but I still have a good amount of the lashes 2 months later. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for quality nails and lashes!

Leonna Arbre I love this place with very friendly and calm atmosphere and good quality job in both: manicure and pedicure. I have been with Tina and her team for last 8 years. Yes, I tried different places, but always come back. There is something unique in this place, trust me and try yourself.

Melissa Maiga Worst experience ever. My nails look terrible and I my nails beds are hurting. I tried to make recommendations about how I want MY nails to look and the tech was mean and rude everytime. I will never return. I have to go find some polish to cover this up now. Im so frustrated. It looks like a rushed job and im not sure why bc no one esle was in the shop. BEWARE.

saru kc Finally, I decided to write this review about this salon. This is one of the worst salon I know in my life. I had two bad experiences with them 1st I went to color my hair and mistakenly they mix the wrong color so my hair look really ugly. Everyone make mistake so I thought its ok and I went to professional salon to fix my hair. 2nd time I make an appointment for my nails, they start getting busy so they mess up my nails again. Look like they are really unprofessional. They dont have any knowledge about hair and other beauty stuff. I choose this salon because its walking distance from my house. Now I am ready to drive rather choose a bad salon. Really unprofessional salon. I dont suggest anyone to go there. Please, if you care about yourself, dont choose this salon.

Kim Jackson Annie is so cheerful and caring, and does wonderful work. She massages my hands, feet, and lower leg as part of her manicure and pedicure service. My nails and feet always look so good when I walk out of the shop!

Eyanna Brumfield Im so happy to have had great service!! The ladies here just took over the place in January. Its beautiful upgrades, skilled technicians, and so many colors to choose from leaves you feeling so pampered!! The prices are great as well!!

lanadelreyOG14 I was just walking around the area and I see this nail salon place and wanted to give it a try, when I walked in I was greeted by this really kind lady Helen, and she’s very talented, she did my nails really pretty just how I liked it. The interior inside of the salon isn’t really finished I’m guessing they opened early. Apparently they have like a 20% off deal for the grand opening for all services aswell, so I thought that was a really good deal, the prices were fair , I had a wonderful experience, definitely coming back

Hana N I’ve decided to give this salon a try and it was better then expected. this nail salon has a new owner now and like everything’s renovated, remodeled and brand new, its really neat , they still kept the old salon name. The workers here are very attentive artistic and talented.There are many options , many colors and patterns, when you come you will receive a wonderful experience coming here so i recommend you should come give this a try

Frank Mario Castellon Vivian provides excellent hair cut and shave. I drop by every 2 weeks. Walk in look like caveman and exit looking like James Bond. Doggie friendly. Highly recommend.

XY Peng Had an appointment with them on 10AM on ClassPass! But the store is closed. I waited for 15 mins but no one showed up! I called them three times but no one answered! Then I went to hair focus, which is super close. They are much cheaper but pro!

Shraddha Wairagar I’ve been going to Vivian for my haircuts, nails, and facials, and she never disappoints! She always goes above and beyond to ensure everything is perfect. Vivian gives such detailed attention to her work, and you can tell she truly cares about her clients. Her warm and welcoming personality makes every visit feel special, and she takes personal care to make sure you’re comfortable and happy with the results. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for top-notch services!

Petya Simeonova Finally I found my nail technician. Thank you Valeria!!!Amazing service. Amazing customer attitude. I was looking for such good service for more then 4 years and now so happy that I found it here at Loft nails.

Lisa Clark It was so nice to come to a relaxed setting to have a manicure and pedicure. And to have it done in my own personal space at Salon Republic. Thuy was very attentive and did an excellent job on my nails. She made sure I was comfortable and followed all COVID19 safety protocols, which I appreciated. My nails look great, I’ll be back!

Franik Williams As a 69 year old grandpa, my grandkids think I am coolest grandpa ever. Besides that it was the best experience I’ve had. Quality service and quality nail polish. I am also a swimmer and it lasted for three weeks before my nails grew out and needed them done again.

Robert Shanney I have funky feet, very embarrassing. After getting a pedicure from Thuy, my feet look 1000 times better. A very nice environment, great care taken with the service, personal space with 1:1 appointments.

Nidhi S I went for pedicure and gel manicure today. Just before the appointment, I broke my toe nail in half. Hanna was super patient with me and worked her way around my broken toenail. We discussed in detail, what could we do best with that. She was really thoughtful and still painted my nails, without rushing. It took us more than an hour but she was very sincere about it. Overall great salon. This salon is spacious and felt better than rest of the counterparts in the area. It has a dedicated parking in the complex and situated next to El Camino tea, which is a great location. I would highly recommend this place.

Aeija Jones Before I share my experience, if you don’t personally mind leaving a salon bruised and bleeding, you might like it here. My advice to the nail technician ladies who work here is slow down, take your time and please be more gentle to any future customers. Thank you. My first impression here as a new customer is everyone is pretty friendly, average prices and convenient. I was referred by a family friend, who is no longer a loyal customer of 6 years. She later ended up having unpleasant experiences here. I’ve had a total of 3 appointments so far at this salon, my first 2 appointments were decent… even though during my gel manicure I was cut by the nail tech. She proceeded to continue until I mentioned I was bleeding which was obvious. She cleaned it up and finished. I still kept a positive attitude at this point because it seemed like a simple mistake. The cut was on my cuticle and happened from the electric drill filer. The pain lasted about a week. My last appointment recently was for a French acrylic manicure and gel pedicure. It was one lady doing my pedicure and one lady doing my manicure. They did both at the same time which was uncomfortable. The lady who did my manicure did good but she was very rough so it was a bit painful. The lady doing my pedicure is the reason I won’t be returning here ever again. She cut my toenails down to the nubs, before asking me if I was ok with the length. Other than that everything else was fine up until she starting cutting my toe cuticles. She cut a big piece of skin on the side of my toe and continued to work on it while itwas continuously bleeding… I asked her if it was going to be okay to work on. I really didn’t want to have to stop the whole process, I just wanted to make sure it wouldn’t get infected or later cause more pain. She cleaned it up and told me it was an ingrown nail, which was not there before I arrived. All in all, the pedicure is decent definitely not worth pain or price. My toe is now sore and bruised on my birthday weekend.

Bea Sharp My local place walking distance and convenient. Mai is so sweet and she really is personable. They do quality to work! Love the chrome finish my new favorite.
