Called to get a gel pedicure the same day & they accommodated me at 5:00pm. Lin was so sweet & she really took her time. The location is far but if I'm ever in the area, I will definitely come back and ask for Lin. 1.5 hours for a gel pedicure, quality massage, scrub, cuticle cleaning by Lin :) *Parking is a bit tough esp when the TKD studio next door is in session. Try the Starbucks parking lot or the commercial parking lot next door (not during business hours) read more

They never disappoint for nails. This place stays packed so come as soon as they open during week day if possible. Or make appointment for your next fill right after your service. read more

B**ch please! I should have kicked your face! The second time I went with my friend who told me about this place and I wanted something a bit "fancy" not fancy by Vivian's Nail Bar fancy (which is my ultimate nail place if it wasn't so far) but fancy. She was able to do what I wanted to some extent, I went home and touched up a bit. Anyways, it lasted 2 days before the gel started lifting! By the end of the week I just peeled them all off. Stupid me to go there a third time. Three strikes your OUT! I called around noon for a 5:30 appt. I got there around 5:10 knowing I would have to wait a bit. Well this bit of a wait is pretty damn long. 4 other women who also stated they had 5:30 appts were taken rIght away and they showed up after I did. It was 6:30 by the time I got sat at a pedi station. An hour wait for an appt made well in advance. The lady who did my pedi. RIDICULOUS! Talked the whole time to her homie, didn't even look at what she was doing a majority of the time. I swear if she made me bleed I would have kicked her and she would never see it coming! And when I asked her to cut a nail she missed, she missed trimming one whole side and I asked to fix just one of those nails! And she gave me attitude! B**ch! You neglected my whole left foot, no trim, no scrub! And I didn't say anything except trim one of those poor neglected toes! And from then on she acted like a little child. She did my mani too. Oh yay me! First let's talk about the safety of my seat. Right under the table where my feet go is an open electrical socket and loose cords. The least of my worries was touching the cords with my fresh wet pedi but oh I don't know how being electrocuted!!!!!! Any who, After asking to file down 3 nails that were super uneven she had me check my own nails (oh please let me do something I'm paying you to do) and he would practically throw my hands back at me and had sarcastic smug comments like "oh yay!" "Goodie" when I said they were fine. No they were not fine but by that time I was over it and just wanted to get the hell out of there. So I got there early for my 530 appt. I walked out the door at 8:02!!!!! 2 AND A HALF HOURS FOR A PLAIN MANI AND PEDI!!! Horrible! read more

I wish I could take away all the stars I had previously given this salon. I've had numerous bad experiences with this place and the latest time was my last. This place gets really busy and they rush through each person to get them finished. I've had my nails ruined because they sanded down my nails so bad trying to take off the shellac that it started to burn! Even if you make an appointment, you'll still be waiting 30min-1hr because they don't have a sense of time and they don't want to lose clients. So even if they tell you 15 min, don't believe it. It's most likely double that time. Lastly, I took my younger cousins (9 and 12) here to get their nails done as a birthday treat. Mind you, all the ladies there knew that they were with me. I was charged $12 dollars extra because they asked my 9 year old cousin if she wanted a design. Now, I'm not complaining about having to pay $12 bucks. I'm upset because they didn't ask my permission if they could add a design which is extra charge. Well, they painted a design on each of her 10 fingers and 2 big toes. If you get your nails done regularly, you know that each design is about $5 for hands and feet. Well, when I went to pay, I told one lady that I was not asked if she could have a design done but they still charged me $12. When the cashier asked the lady who did my cousins nails, she responded "well she's little so it's ok" How is that ok? Never, ever, coming back. Never, ever, recommending this place to anyone. Go down the street and you'll find a much better, more sanitary place to get your nails done. read more

It is rare that I give out any five star reviews, but this place deserves it. I came here late again with my girls.. I know I promised to come early again, but oops. Next time, next time. Jen was accommodating to me and she did another wonderful set. I made her stay late again, Sorry Jen! A good business is somewhere where the management takes time to hear their customers' feedback. In this case, Jen goes above and beyond. She reads the yelp reviews, and I did notice a difference when I walked in this time. She is a great manager as well as very talented in her line of work. Make sure you read my previous review to get the entire scoop on this nail salon. Call to make your appointment with her today!! read more

I needed a fresh manicure and pedicure. I went here because it looked reliable esp the ratings. One of the ladies was very kind while the other was just a little loose with remarks and didn't seem to give a shit. It's only been one day and my manicure is chipping like crazy and it's just a poor job overall. I would not recommend and it's over priced. I usually try to be understanding and rarely give bad reviews but cmon. Pedicure was okay but manicure job really is poorly done read more

***COME HERE IF YOU WANT AN INFECTION.*** I've recently seen a post on Twitter of this girl who got an infection by getting her nails done at k3. (See photo.) Please don't go here! There are so many other nail spas that have proper cleanliness of their business and MUCH better customer service. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ My personal experience with k3: I've visited this place many times but last night was something different. I was sitting outside waiting for almost 2 hours for a refill. They were also serving customers who got there after me, before me! Wtf I was here first, and you're going to serve her first, idc if she came 2 minutes after me both of us were getting a refill too and i got their first so that really bothered me. The service was so shit. Once I got in the salon, the girl that did my nails was very rude. At first everything was going good, I was getting mediocre service. When she was done doing the acrylic part of my nails, it was time to paint. I picked a light pink. When she put it on, it didn't look like the color shown on the example. I kindly asked to change the color of my nails because I didn't like it. She was like okay. The second one was meh, so I asked for her to change it again. I get it, it's annoying if I keep asking to change the color but if I'm going to pay you to give me service it better be good. My god, she was already catching an attitude! All of the other nail techs I've had in the past were super nice and were not annoyed about something as little as changing colors. It really wasn't a big deal, but you could tell she was annoyed. I was looking to see more colors and she rushed me. She told me that there were customers waiting and I get that, but there was literally one girl waiting. Lmao. I understand if it was 5-6 girls waiting but one girl. Literally, so rude. This salon really needs to up their customer service. Don't waste your time and money here. Especially when their tools aren't even clean. read more

I would say this is probably the best nail salon here in Milpitas. I'm so upset that I haven't been coming here before! The service is excellent. It took 5 tries to get the color that I wanted and Vivian was determined to pick a color that fit what I wanted and she did just that. For the quality of their work, the prices they charge is a complete steal! I'm glad I got in before the rush. Definitely gotta go during the day, I came in at 1 and there still a little bit of a rush. I like that they give out frequent cards so that the 11th visit you get a free spa pedi OR mani. SO ecstatic that I have found a place that is down the street from my house! read more

I love this place. I only went once and i already know that this will be my nail spot. Its so hard to find a nail place but not anymore. This place is cheap but they do such great work there and the shelac is only 20 BUCKS compare to other places that charge 30-40 bucks which is a rip off.

Never again!!! I mean never. I've tried to give this place several tries. The first time I tried this place was in 2016, it was ok. But I would have to go in after a day bc my gel polish would chip. Smh!! Anyway I went here two weeks ago bc I was on my way from Sacramento on a Sunday and it was the only place that was open. The wait was crucial, they make u wait outside bc there is no sitting. Mind you it was rainy and windy. I got my toes done with gel, it looked horrible, lumpy and air bubbles. I pointed it out and she tried to convince me that it was normal, I didn't take that crap so she redid one toe. By then I was fed up. I got my nails done by A very energetic nice nail lady. I noticed that the the girl before me nails were perfect. Mines turned out ugly, the chrome ombré that I got was not neat not blended well. My nail shape was good but they looked like they needed a fill. I hate when nail techs use that method. I've had my nails for two weeks and they are lifting like crazy. I've never had a problem with that. Overall I'm pissed. My toes looked like I did them or my three year old niece did them. The prices are to much for what I got. Never again. Don't go here. They suck!!! I've been holding my disappointment in for two weeks but I'm not biting my tounge. They suck!!! read more

So after 3 weeks my nails were all still intact and in perfect condition except that it has grown out. In those two weeks, I have cleaned, wash dishes, garden, etc. I am rough with my hands so I was shocked that my nails were still in great shape after all of the abuse. I called and made a same day appointment to let them know 4 girls will be there for pedi and mani's. Upon arrival, the place was packed. All of the pedi and nail stations were occupied with someone sitting in the waiting area. After only a 5 minute wait I was on the nail station picking out my design. I decided to go with lavender glitter tips. Jen was working on my nails again. She did an excellent job with my 3D design so I was happy to have gotten her this time. She did my nails quick and perfect. She did a fabulous job on my nails!! The one thing I like about this place is they have great ethics. My friend came in a little late and they worked on her nails well past their closing time. Talk about dedication right? and they didn't rush either. Jen took her time to get all the right colors and designs. Like I said before, will be going out here for my nails from now on. Thank you K3 Nails & Spa!!! read more

Just moved from AZ to CA couple of weeks ago and wasn't sure I was going to find a nail salon that could do what my other mail tech did for me over 3yrs ... I stumbled upon this place and low and behold I feel in love... Seriously ... Hannah was my nail tech and she was very quick and efficient... Now keep in mind this place is nothing fancy and the girls are nice but they don't talk to you much.. They take their job seriously and tally amongst themselves but I presumably don't mind... It sa different experience and I really enjoyed it... Coining the phrases "don't judge a book by its cover " or "diamond in the rough " this small shop is definitely my go to place and really changed my mind on how different the salons are from AZ and you get even better quality coming from a humbling place rather than a fancy place. read more

I really wanted to give them 4 stars. I saw the pictures and reviews. I was terribly mistaken. They don't deserve any stars. 1) Ugliest and sloppiest nail service. 2) One finger and one toe infection. 3) When you go back the second day to get the nails redone by another manicurist, and tell the owner/manager what happened, she'll look you in the eye, nod, never apologize, and will not reprimand her manicurist. Go and see for yourself what the raving reviews are about! You'll be seated at a chair and the ladies are nice and all, but the tools are not sterilized well and they cut so close to your toe and finger cuticles that you'll get painful infections. Good thing I'm not diabetic. Some have died going to nail salons like this place. By the way, the manicurist said she had over 10 years of experience. I wanted to ask her how many places has she been fired from. The acrylic nails was applied so thick, it was better would have served then hoofs on a horse. The paint job, I thought Jerry Lewis would have done it better...cross-eyed! read more

Stopped by to get a gel manicure. Luckily I made an appointment. There were a few other ladies who had to wait almost 10-15 minutes for the next available person. My lady was very nice. I got a gel manicure with 3D bow art. With tip it came out to $30. They did a very nice job and the employees were very friendly. There really is nothing bad to say about this place. I will definitely come back and upgrade to a 5 star if I receive the same treatment! read more

As you can probably tell from the other reviews, this place is not a winner. I walked in at 12:45 for my appointment at 1pm and it was a zoo. It was a weekday, a Wednesday or something like that, so I was shocked but I had made an appointment. Walked up to someone and let them know "I made an appointment with Jenn for an acrylic set with design as well as a pedicure" and waited about 5 minutes til I got started. The pedicure was amazing! I can't remember her name but I was helped by a lady with glasses and she was so sweet, asking me about school and telling me about her family. To that lady, I'm so sorry you miss your son in Vietnam! I wish you the best and I wish I could come back to talk to you more, but I really couldn't tolerate this place otherwise. After my pedicure, I told them I had an acrylic set with Jenn again and this is where it got bumpy. I sat and waited for 10 minutes only for Jenn to come over and tell me that she thought I didn't show up to my appointment because I didn't say it when I walked in when I clearly did. Then proceeded to shame me into thinking it was my fault because "I didn't say it", like really? That's how you treat your paying customers? Anyways she had a nice younger guy help me, but he had no idea how to do the design I chose. After about 8 attempts and him trying to get help from Jenn, ONLY for her to brush him off repeatedly, I told him I just didn't want a design anymore. It was not going to turn out the way I wanted. He proceeded to offer marble nails to which I agreed, but it was another 5 attempts for him to get something halfway decent. I didn't have the heart to let him know it was not for me, the marble didn't look like marble. But I tipped him regardless because he tried so hard to make me happy and was truly so sweet. At the end, I got one "marble" on each ring finger, one gem on the middle, total $40 for the set. Overall, this place is cheap but the environment sucks. It feels rushed all over the place (one lady next to me was pissed that Jenn made her wait when she had to go to work) and is crowded. Service is generally rude, ESPECIALLY JENN. You get what you pay for, it's nothing like their Instagram at all. Save yourself a trip and go to K3 in San Jose instead! read more

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. I really wanted to like this place. The first time I went, my gel mani was just ok but it was so cheap that I had to go back. This time (my second visit) I got a gel mani with a design again. It's only been 1 day, and my thumb is already chipping. I thought gel was supposed to last at least 2 weeks? Maybe it's my bad, but I've had gel manis before that have lasted at least 3 weeks. Granted it's just a tiny chip, but I wasn't expecting it so soon. 2 stars because the girl who did my nails was sweet, but unfortunately it's not enough to make me come back again. read more

I wanted to like this place but after my results on my nails I left unhappy. I made an appointment on a Tuesday morning... obviously trying to avoid any wait or being rushed. She stopped my nails and proceeded to do two other girls nails while I was direct to go do my pedicure in the middle of her doing my nails... when I went back for her to finish them... she rushed. Shaping is inconsistent and I still have my old polish on the sides of my nails... when it came time to pay I did voice what I didn't like about them and she told me I should speak up... but it's hard to speak up when you are in the middle of doing someone elses nails and proceed to rush through mine. I felt awkward trying to tell you what I wanted when I feel like I'm being rushed. And some of my nails are missing acrylic on the sides... When I left I tried to call back the shop to speak with the manager but phone wouldn't ring. If a manager could reach out and call me that would be nice. read more

Hey y'all! It was my very first time getting my nails done at any other place than the comfort of my own home. I had made an appointment for two people (my friend and myself) a day in advance, just in case it was packed. We waited about 5 minutes before we were seated, and the ladies were sweet enough to allow us to sit next to each other for a full-on girls' day salon experience! Because of my short nail curse, I settled with a set of acrylics ($42 for mine in particular). After showing Thu the design I wanted, she got straight to it, working extremely fast and diligently. My nails ended up looking almost exactly identical to the photo I had shown her! ^_^ The only complaint I have would be that she snipped away at my cuticles a little too excessively, and thus, I ended up bleeding a bit... BUT, beauty is pain like they say lol. As for the atmosphere of the store, it was relatively relaxing. For a somewhat smaller salon, everything was decently organized and put together. All in all, I would try out other nail salons just for a comparison, but K3 is definitely substantial and capable of doing a good job! :) Welp, that wraps up my first nail job experience AND Yelp review! :-) I hope reading this helped you somehow! ^^ Best wishes, Kristine read more
