I called them this morning 10 minutes prior to opening to see if they could make an appointment for myself and my daughter for 11:00 a.m. they had no problem feeding us into their schedule for that time period we were running late and I called to see if that would be a problem and they should me it was not an issue, when we arrived we had some trouble finding parking but other than that getting us into the town was a breeze. My daughter had a specific design in mind that she wanted to have done and they did a fabulous job recreating it I was a little uncertain about what I wanted to do and along with their help and input the outcome I am very very pleased with! The only negative thing I can say is that I wish I had gotten a longer neck massage, because it felt so good! The salon is updated with all the new covid -19 precautions and there is a waiver they require guests to fill out and sign as well as checking your temperature prior to starting service. I will definitely be returning to them and highly recommend this salon! read more

I made an appointment a few days in advanced for 330 on a Sunday and waited about 15 minutes to be seen. They're pretty busy here so I would not recommend walking in without an appointment on the weekends unless you're okay with waiting. My nail technician was Nancy. She did a great job with my nails and I'm definitely coming back here!She was also really nice and kept asking me if I had any complaints. All the other nail technicians were also very nice! My only complaint is that three of my nails are slightly uneven because she had to blend two powders but I can't really tell unless I feel for it by moving my finger over my nail or if I look at my nails from the sides. I'm not upset though because Nancy probably would have fixed it if I had mentioned it but I didn't notice till I left. I think the prices are pretty reasonable as well but I'm also willing to spurge a little on my nails. I've been looking for a new nail salon for a while and this is the only one I've found that has a bunch of different powder options and a lot of glitter options! read more

K3 Nails N Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

After 4 years I came back.. I used to be a regular customer at k3 but as the nail salon got more known I felt the treatment to the customer was a bit rushed and try to get you out the door as soon as they can.. the work became sloppier but this year I decided to give them a try once again... Lisa was super kind and knowledgeable about her work, I asked her for recommendations and she gave me her input. She took her time making my nails right.. it's always scary for me... going to someone new, but thank you Lisa for easing me out of that zone & making my day feel like my day off read more

I've been coming to this place to get my nails done for a while now. When I first came I was seeing Wendy for my nails. She is always booked so she transferred me to Tina the nail technician next to her. Wendy is very good with details and hand drawn designs. Tina does a good job with my nails and is willing to change a design if I don't like it without making a big fuss. The rest of the ladies are just as talented. This place is always busy and they do their best to stick to appointment times but I have waited up to 25 minutes even after booking an appointment. The parking lot is shared so it's hard to find parking on busy days. The prices for most of the services increased by $10 in September 2018. They only take cash and have an ATM inside. My go to place for a full set! read more

K3 Nails N Spa - My Halloween Full Set. - Nail Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

Went here before Covid back in 2018. O M G .. was one of the worst experiences I've had. I was used to getting my nails done, but for some reason one of the technicians there jacked my nails up! She used the tool and grind it so thin. When she tried to remove the old set, it felt close to ripping off my nail. I never went back here gain. I really wanted to like this place because it was close to where I used to live. It might be different now though but the memory I'll never forget. read more

I love them!! Customer service was great!!! I came from a different salon that had badly done my nails, Even though that it was almost time for closing Nail tech NANCY help me out.

I'm so disheartened about the fact that I have to write this bad review, but I did not have a good experience at K3. My friend and I came here for the first time because we both had heard such great things about K3! Both of us came in for gel manicures and regular pedicures. First, K3 is EXPENSIVE. $25 for a regular pedicure and $30 for gel, whereas I'm used to $20 pedicures and $25 gel manicures at my usual nail place. My pedicure was fine, but my manicure was absolutely awful. All I requested was a regular white gel polish and it did not look good. At all :( The shape was off (round), she didn't even cover my entire nail with the polish, and the paint job was sloppy. I left feeling extremely upset because I had just paid so much for my nails and it wasn't worth the high price. The ladies here are so nice, but I can't justify the poor work done on my nails. Sadly I won't ever be coming back to K3 and I had to learn the hard way not to cheat on my nail lady. read more

K3 Nails N Spa - Horrible!!! - Nail Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

I already left a review when this happened back in September 2019 but I'm sharing again because of how insane this situation was. I went into K3 about two years ago to get a fill. I had been getting my acrylics done there for over a year at the time and had always LOVED how my nails turned out almost every single visit. I was so excited to get my nails done for my birthday in a few days. I get there and because I wanted an ombré design, the technician told me she had to completely take off the old acrylics and put new tips on, which was fine. Except for the fact that she didn't soak them before she tried literally prying them off. She was NOT GENTLE whatsoever. I remember turning to my friend while the technician was trying to take off the nails because it was hurting so bad. Then I turn back around after a strange and horrible feeling, and half of my nail is literally HANGING OFF. I think I was in so much shock at first that I physically couldn't react, but after a few minutes it was hurting so bad that I almost passed out and had to go next door to Sharetea to get something to drink. The lady who ripped off my nail didn't even care either...she told me to just sit down and wait for her to finish doing my nails!!!!!! I literally couldn't believe she actually thought she'd still do them and have me pay for them. I got up and left. I'm so upset I never got her name and had her fired. To this day I've never walked back into this place and even though this experience got me a viral video on TikTok, I will never vouch for K3 ever again. read more

DO NIT BRING YOUR BUSINESS HERE ! I am beyond appalled with the quality. And even more so the service! (I was called a liar, and the technician made my child cry after she screamed at her) To top it all off, These are the worst nails I've ever received ! UGLY AF $75 ?! And my nails look worse than when I walked though the door. If Owner does not respond, Will be reporting to bbb for my money back! read more

BOOK WITH TINA!!! Everyone has been giving K3 a lot of bad reviews because of their experience but I literally made a yelp just to leave Tina a good review so please read. It was my first time there around early December I called in the night before for an appointment in the morning with Tina. I came a few minutes late and she said she had been waiting for me and seated me immediately. She was super friendly! She conversed with me but didn't ask too many questions that would make it too personal and we took turns talking. The shape was gorgeous and she had made my nails look beautiful (an ombre design) She also gave me her suggestions on how she could design the roses that would make it look better than the photo I showed her. I took her advice and it turned out amazing! Here's the important part. I had a done some research before coming but I didn't know that the prices had raised and that ombre would be a base price of $45 with $5 per nail design. And because she had done both my ring fingers the total came out to $55. I had only brought $45 cash with me at the time and no card or other way to withdraw money. Tina was super sweet and told me it was okay and that she would just take $45. Literally the deal maker with my experience here. She was super sweet, careful, and made sure each nail was the perfect size and shape. I highly recommend making an appointment with her :) read more

I have been going to this nail salon for 3 years, just to see my girl Lily. She is hands down the best nail tech I have ever come across in San Jose. She spends so much time perfecting the nail shape, and nails it every time whether it's a true stiletto nail or a super skinny coffin. She takes my inspiration photos and gives me something even better than the picture I showed her! Not only that, but her sets always last at least 3 weeks to a month. She truly takes pride in her craft and it's evident in all her work. I get questions all the time about where I got my nails done and I will never stop recommending people come and see her! Thanks for being my nail fairy god mother Lily ‍ read more

I've come here about 4 or 5 times since the covid restrictions were lifted. I've gotten full sets, refills, and pedicures with different nail techs every visit and I've been satisfied each time!

Thank you to the talented ladies that always do a great job in my toes and nails! read more

Soooo got my nails done with Nina today. Needless to say nobody looked like they wanted to work there. It's a Wednesday evening and the place is packed. There is no menu to see price list and they do not take credit card so hit the bank before you go. I went in for a gel manicure and soak off. $10 soak off $20 gel manicure It's pretty cheap and it shows. Nina made two of my fingers bleed and didn't even apologize even though it bled for awhile. It's now been an hour since I came home and the gel has already started to lift. I'm going to have to go somewhere else to get it fixed. As far as sterilization goes, it SEEMS like they do all the right things, i.e liners and UV sterilization of tools? As for my manicure after she finished she rubbed some lotion on my hands for literally 45 seconds then asked me to wash my hands and told me my total. You get what you pay for! read more

Got my nails done here a week ago. There was a strong stench of chemicals which I just put up with since I wasn't sure about if other nail places were open because of covid-19. I've gotten my nails done at other places before and I'm used to a small smell but this smell was unbelievable. I don't remember the name of the lady who did my fill, but she made my right thumb "cuticle" bleed. She was quick to tend to it but the following day it bled again. Two out of seven gems on my left middle finger fell off the following day. There was chipping on 4-5 fingers! 5 days later and only one gem was remaining. I didn't want to leave a bad review because I know how tough it is at these times but the last straw was that my nail broke not even 6 days later of getting my fill. I don't wanna give the whole place a bad rep but my experience was not worth the $50 + tip I paid this place. Never coming back. UPDATE DO NOT COME HERE!!! I'm trying to take my acrylic off and IT IS MMA!!!! DONT even risk it !!! my nails are hurting and it is so hard to come off!!! watch this video to know the difference : https://youtu.be/g9rZvfJXZjE read more

I showed up 30 min early to my appointment but was helped immediately. I had a certain color range of blue that I wanted and the lady (I didn't get her name, unfortunately, but I was sitting at table 8 if that makes any difference) helped me find the right shade. I also knew I wanted butterflies on my ring finger but didn't know exactly how I wanted it to look like. I just didn't want it on a clear nail so I let her decide what to do. She made sure I knew how much my nails costed before she started. $40 powder acrylics + $5 nail art (each finger). It's more expensive than what I'm used to but I didn't mind considering she took her time to make sure it looked good. She made my nails thin, which I like, and always asked if I was doing ok or if I wanted to change anything. She also made me feel better about the fact that I have a crooked middle finger ((it's not pictured tho LOL)). I'm pretty happy w the end result but I do wish I used diff colored butterflies because some are so clear that it's hard to see on the nail read more

K3 Nails N Spa - By Nancy - Nail Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

K3 I came here today showed the nail tech what I wanted and she said she could do it even though she hadn't done it before. So I put my trust in her and we began the process. I asked for coffin shape and she started off correctly by cutting off the sides and filing. However once she applied the powder it became very blocky. I mentioned it to her (and spoke up about all the other corrections I wanted made) and she tried to shave it down and fix it. So the shape in the pic is what it looks like fixed... Anyways, time for the design--instantly I could tell her brushes weren't going in the direction she wanted them to and it was very difficult for her to achieve the inspiration look. After 2 hours this is what I left with & paid $105 for since it was a new set however the design alone they said is worth $45... The nail tech was super nice and kept saying how beautiful it was... but ultimately this is no where near the inspiration pic I showed. Next time I will trust my gut and not take the chance. Not coming back here since clearly they can't achieve this design let alone the right coffin shape. read more

Horrible experience! The tech that did my nails was very rude. When she was applying the nail tip to my nail it wasn't laying flat on my nail plate & the nail tip looked funny so I asked her if she can fix it & she told me rudely "you want someone els to do them for you" & I said yes if there's someone els that can do them then yes She did answer me & continue working. read more

I went to this place for a regular manicure pedicure. It's $15 for manicure and $25 for pedicure. Man did I waste my money! Pros: - Pedicure includes massaging chair that u operate yourself! - Great selection of colors! - Facility was clean Cons: - Staff doesn't understand English: that's a huge problem cuz when I was telling the lady to use warm water for my pedicure soak her response was oh no no. Like seriously she had my feet dipped in room temp water it was rather on the colder side, heard of that before? Got 0 relaxation from that! It doesn't relaxes the muscles or makes the skin soft for further cleaning. Also she did a very mediocre rather bad job at cleaning cuticles and the foot message was a joke! - They only take cash: Nobody in this time in California keeps cash! I don't at all! - did a very bad job At service The whole experience was more like polish change and not mani pedi. read more

I went in for this nail appointment a little skeptical and very desperate. My usual nail salon is in San Francisco, and having had my set for nearly a month, my nails were dying to be filled in (but my gas tank was not dying to make the hour long trip just for a set of nails). That was when I remembered that my friend had recommended a place in San Jose, so I grabbed on to that lead and made my way out to K3 Nails. I made my appointment for 4PM and I did arrive 10 minutes late but did not end up getting started until 4:40 because they were pretty busy. To be fair, it was a Sunday so I should have expected it and the quality of the services they provide speak for themselves! The lady who helped me was named Tina. She was very kind, warm, and welcoming (I think she sensed that I was growing impatient) and made sincere conversation when she felt necessary (didn't feel forced). She asked me what I wanted, said "ok", and worked her magic, no questions asked. She made sure I was okay with the shape, color, asked if I wanted glitter on them. Tina really went the extra mile and I appreciate that a ton! She even gave me her card with her name so that I know who to ask for the next time I come around. My nails came out so beautiful that I was truly stunned and even moreso when I saw the price tag was less than my usual! My full set fill was $30 + $10 for the nude ombré design I had done on every nail. This is a steal compared to my usual SF pricing - $40-45 just for the fill or set! At the end of the day, I can overlook the poor appointment system because of the bang for your buck that you get at this nail salon! K3, thank you for starting my 2018 off right! You have one a customer that will definitely be back. read more

K3 Nails N Spa - Full set of gel acrylics - Nail Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

I really wanted to like this place, but after my experience I don't think I'm going to get acrylics any time soon. My sister told me this place does amazing nails so I was like okay why not give it a try. I honestly don't remember who the first lady was who did my nails but she misunderstood me and thought I wanted an overlay...... when I never even said overlay. All I told her was that I wanted acrylics but to keep my real nails at the length I had it at. Idk how she mistook that as an overlay. At first I was gonna just leave it alone and just get acrylics on my real nail but then she started shaping it and I just hated it. It was all box-y and just not cute. I think I'm a little too nice bc I didn't want to speak up so my friend ended up telling the lady I didn't want this. They were like siding with the nail tech saying I wanted an overlay...... like I never said that. So I ended up having to soak the acrylics off and had a whole new set done by another lady. The lady who did my nails did a decent job. Not the best in my opinion but I can deal with it for a few weeks. I'm just irritated bc there was so much miscommunication. I forgot to mention but they shaved my nails SO deep too. It was bad..... to the point where the pink part of my nail was peeking through. It made my nails look blotchy like I I was bleeding from under my real nail. I wish I had a photo to show you but I didn't have a chance to take a photo. I really wanted to like this place but I just don't think I'll ever come back. read more

K3 Nails N Spa - tapered square done by Tina! - Nail Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

*over all this place isn't horrible, but after a first impression it isn't worth switching from my usual nail spot (Perfect 10 Nail Spa) Nails: I got an acrylic set ($30) with holographic powder (+$13) which was a pretty steep price for the powder compared to other places I've been. However the results were exactly like on the sample nails, so I'm not complaining on that part. Shaping wasn't that great for my coffin (+$5) preferences.. The powder was applied too thick and makes the acrylics look more bulky than necessary, and some nails could be skinnier. The room: pretty small, and when you walk in the fume of the products is pretty overbearing. Service: My technician in particular was nice, but some other ladies were arguing about booking in vietnamese while I was waiting which got a bit annoying to hear. read more

Well, after having a positive experience at K3 Milpitas a few years ago I decided to give the Cottle Rd location a try. The first red flag should have been when all the technicians were on a break at 11 in the morning. I got a pedicure with gel and paraffin it turned out ok. The Gel manicure was going great until the technician asked if I wanted my nails cut I said NO! She proceeded with the manicure and FILED MY NAILS OFF. I was unhinged! Who does this? She stated " I was making them even" I didn't ask you for this!! This all happened on 4/2/2022. Today is 4/4/2022 and the polish is chipping and peeling already.
