What can I say, Kim knocks it out of the ballpark again and this time with an ocean inspired set. Took less than 1.5 hrs and she was SUPER quick since I hadn't broken any nails this time. We combined 2 cat eye colors to get a nice deep blue since I wanted a darker blue and we swapped out the flower decal to a drawn flower since I don't enjoy the bulky decals. It was busy inside as usual but service was quick and drinks/snacks are always offered.

Hands down one of the best nail places I've been to. Ask for KIM because you won't be disappointed. The interior was clean, all the staff members friendly and the design came out soooo nice. Kim was so friendly and sweet as she came highly recommended. I just showed her design and it came out looking better . I'll definitely come back for my birthday set

Gel manicure with nail art

First time trying this nail bar as recommended by a friend and the experience did not disappoint! The decor is trendy, cute, and clean. I did not notice a strong odor of chemicals which I understand to be part of the environment at a nail salon, but it was a pleasant surprise. The technicians were efficient and did great work. I brought a picture of my inspiration and my nail tech's version of it was even cuter than the image I brought to her. You also get a discount for paying with cash which was great. I will definitely be back!

My beautiful nails! Thank u, Pink!

It's my first time here and their service is amazing! My nail lady, Pink, did a great job making my nails so pretty!

It's still a five-star experience for me--every single time! I just had to add this update to highlight the beautiful nail artwork they continue to deliver. The team is consistently courteous and genuinely makes you feel seen and heard, especially when it comes to nail design. They go above and beyond to ensure you're happy with the final result and that you leave feeling valued. I can't even count how many times strangers have complimented my nails and asked where I got them done. The attention to detail they give is unmatched, and it truly shows in their work. My original review may have been written over a year ago, but my feelings haven't changed--if anything, I'm even more impressed now as a regular. The quality of their craftsmanship and customer service hasn't faded with time. If you're looking for a place that blends talent with heart, Bamboo Nails is it!

Monday broken nail
Amanda P.

I loved bamboo for so long. I recommended some many friends here. I came in and got a new set, 3 days later a nail broke. I went to get it fixed, they fixed. 2 days later another nail broke, I called and the lady on the phone said "I don't have time to deal with you". So I came in, I was met with attitude and meanness. They proceeded to make me wait over 30 minutes to get my nails taken off. The entire time I was waiting they were talking bad about me to each other and the other customers. Save yourself the time, the heartache, and the money. Update: after an hour of waiting, they never took care of me. Update to the response to the owners: I have a recording of your techs talking bad at me. I also had someone on the phone who heard the entire thing. I did not demand. I also showed up to remove the nails and told I would be helped and than I wasn't. I left an hour later with nothing try again. It's also illegal to record a phone conversation without consent. Also Kim was one who on the phone said I don't have time to deal with you. Than she was awful to me in the salon.

This place is very professional and amazing costs too. It was my second time visiting but I will continue to come back.

My boyfriend and I just moved to San Jose and decided to treat ourselves to our first visit at Bamboo Nail Bar and we're so glad we did! It was both of our first times here. I got a manicure with Kim and my boyfriend had a pedicure with Lana. We both absolutely loved our experience. The salon is super clean, peaceful, and the whole staff is so kind and welcoming. From the moment we walked in, we felt totally at ease. Can't wait to come back again! 10/10

Natural nail with polish. 2nd coat created a line. Not happy with the finish .
G K.

I really want to give this new salon a good review,but my first experience is off the mark. This review is for a classic mani/pedi with my natural nail. My nail color was not fully covered. Pic shows 2nd coat not quite covering the 1st leaving a visible line by the cuticle. It's a common complaint from other customers. Also, no hot stone massage with the classic mani/pedi not the end of the world. I thought the salon is really clean and I like the light decor. Staff are all very friendly. Price is reasonable $55 not including tips for a classic mani/pedi is reasonable. Disappointing 1st experience though. I may give it another try perhaps not with the same person.

Unfortunately one of my worst manicure:( I wanted to find another nail salon for a variety. Despite if the negative reviews I decided to give them a chance because their other clients seem to really like them. Here's what went wrong: - Some of my nails were coated more times than others causing some nails to be darker than the rest - I asked if I can get my cuticles cleaned (as I thought this was part of it because it says it on their website but either way it's usually a default when you get a manicure) I was told it too late and there's no more time - I felt like they were rushing me. I had excess nail color in my fingers - My nails wasn't fully coated all the way I'm a bridesmaid for a wedding coming up and I'm embarrassed for my nails. For $110 total is didn't feel like I got my money worth. I will most likely try to get my nails done somewhere else tomorrow. Hopefully it doesn't cause too much damage to my nails.

Halloween/Baby Boy Shower Theme!
Christine C.

Unbelievably impressed with Le's work done on my Halloween/Baby Shower nails! So many compliments, and was such a perfectionist - much appreciated and can't wait to come back! Lots of referrals to come! Very casual and relaxing atmosphere here, too!

I asked Kim for purple nails and she DID NOT DISAPPOINT. I LOVE  these nails.

I regularly see Kim, and she's always so meticulous with shaping and filing which is most important to me.

After my first appointment, I intentionally started booking with other estheticians at this location, and those experiences were excellent. I never had any issues with pain or my skin. This time, I didn't realize I had been assigned to Emillee again. During the waxing, I repeatedly asked her to be gentler because the pain was unbearable, but she continued anyway. The experience was extremely painful, and afterward my skin developed blisters. I've had waxing done many times before, including by other staff at this location, and I've never experienced anything like this. Throughout the appointment, she repeatedly commented that I had darker skin and darker hair. Those comments made me feel very uncomfortable and singled out. I also noticed her adding something to the wax during the appointment, although I wasn't told what it was. In addition, wax was spilled on both the floor and the table, making the entire appointment feel disorganized and unprofessional. During the service, I told her how much pain I was in and warned that I would consider taking legal action if my skin was injured because I felt my concerns were being ignored. Despite that, the service continued without any noticeable adjustment. Overall, this was one of the worst waxing experiences I've ever had. Based on my experience, I would not book with Emillee again.

A girlfriend and I decided to do a spa day. I had no idea where to go, but she suggested Ritual. I found two appointments on their website and booked them a few weeks prior. You must hold the appts with a CC, but no deposit is needed. Parking was pretty easy to find. I found parking right away across the street. We started off with my massage therapist asking what type of pressure I prefer. I said I like it hard. No pain, no gain. Get those knots out. And since I work at a computer all day, I told her I carry a lot of tension in my neck shoulders. After voicing that, I did find my massage felt more like a relaxing swedish massage. The pressure wasn't that hard. One thing I did note, they start on your feet but don't wash their hands afterwards when they move on to the rest of you. I kinda found that a little weird. I mean, I did just shower before I showed up, but still. I will never say no to a massage so glad my gf and I did this. Tho I wish I spoke up more during the massage. Completely my fault so I won't dock them for that. Still a nice relaxing experience. REVIEW #3923
