I've been going here since I was in high school. Even when I left for college, my kit was always on the shelf waiting for me, fresh, new, and clean every time I come home to visit my mom. These people have become like family, and they're always so sweet. My nails are consistently done well and never trimmed too short or unevenly. The little candy bowl to nibble on doesn't hurt either (; read more

Wonderful service, quality work and neighborhood gem. Called in today and was able to get a same day appt! They have even services for kids. read more

I arrived 15 minutes late to my appointment 45 minutes before closing, but the ladies still took the appt. Lee took her time even though it meant staying after closing and did a lovely job with my pedicure. I have been coming here for years and always had a good experience, but this went above and beyond and inspired me to write a review. They also have labeled individual boxes where they will keep tools just for you. Thank you, Lee and all the ladies at L'Chic! read more

I have been going to L' Chic Nails for a while now. I like the cleanliness of the facility as well as the fact that they take their time to do a thorough job. In addition, they give a brief neck massage as well as hand and foot massage as part of their services. Ha is a master at her craft. I've recently started using dip powder for my manicures, and my nails have never felt stronger which has not only resulted in lengthier nails, but a longer lasting manicure as well - up to 4 weeks at times. For this past visit, I told Ha I wanted something unique with lots of shimmer as I was attending an Auction Gala later in the evening with the theme being 'Under the Stars' . I was contemplating using Chrome, but she showed me the Diamond Cat Eye samples and I decided to go with that option, which I'm glad I did. They turned out amazing and was it was also interesting to watch the process she went through to create the design I was going for which is a little bit glittery, a little bit metallic, but with a minimalist and luxurious vibe to them. To be honest - the photos don't do it justice - they look much better in person! read more

The photo says everything. And this is after I complained how horrid of a job she did with two coats. So she puts the 3rd coat to "fix" it. Enjoy the final product $35 read more

L' Chic Nails - Yes, they are cheap. But this is appalling. - Nail Salons Near Me - San Mateo, California

They are overpriced and my gel mani started lifting and getting caught in my hair couple of days later. The lady who did my nails was not very friendly and I felt rushed. Still tipped 20% hoping that I would at least get what I paid for (despite their lack of hospitality) but barely lasted 2 weeks and that's being generous. Based on my experience, it was not worth my time and money. read more

Nice ladies and great service, clean set up. I've been coming here for the last two years and have never been disappointed with my nails and how long they stay without chipping. read more

This place is a gem. Small quiet neighborhood place that is clean and not crowded like most places where you are treated like cattle and everyone is rushing an yelling .For $32 I recently got a regular pedicure and the manicurist really took her time and gave me an outstanding foot and calf massage. Will definitely be back! read more

This place has consistency I can count on there is thoughtfulness in every manicure. I get their dip manicure monthly. I absolutely love that they give you a shoulder and neck massage while they are removing your polish. Such a nice touch. This is the only place I go to on the peninsula and I recommended to everyone! read more

I like this nail salon. Appointment time is kept. They are attentive and take their time. Usually fairly quiet unless you get a talker like today. Lyn runs the place but I have been happy with all technicians. read more

Kind, patient staff, comfortable environment, reasonable prices, and easy parking! very convenient!

I have been coming for awhile now since we moved nearby last year. It is the best service I've ever had at any salon. The staff is wonderful and there are so many nice touches - from personal boxes to shoulder massage! Absolutely love this place read more

Sweet little nail place in the neighborhood. This place is clean, technicians are friendly and detail oriented. I appreciate the reasonable pricing! Lots of parking read more

We love this nail salon, so much I'm not sure I want to sing their praises. Clean salon, convenient location for us. Nothing fru-fu here, just an efficient, well done, pedi from nice friendly women. read more

I've been going to L'Chic Nails for years, and they are truly the best! All three of the ladies are kind, great at doing nails, and have excellent memories. They are constantly buying new colors and keeping up-to-date with the newest trends. The cherry on top is that you get a neck massage when you get a manicure!! You can't beat the price either. After you go in a couple of times, you get your own box of supplies that they clean after each use. I had an ankle injury and Lien was so careful and took extra good care of me. Ha does amazing designs. Kristine is incredible at everything too! They are all very talented!! HIGHLY recommend!! read more

Gel polish started chipping from the cuticle within a week. The quality is just not worth the price.

L'Chic Nails has always been my go to place for what I need. Honestly, there are some bad reviews, but it was really due to the management of the place before. They've had multiple mangers throughout the years, but have finally settled down recently. I'm happy to say they now have better and new management, all while keeping the staff members who have been deserving so much more. The staff here works so hard and does great! With this management now, I can come here feeling suuuuuper satisfied because I've always loved the nail technicians here and what they do to my nails. What I like: - Friendly nail technicians who are certified and trained - All staff has been trained for YEARS - Always does a consistent job to make my nails look beautiful and NATURAL - Great color choices - Offers great variations of nail techniques - CLEAN!!! (old management might have had this issue, but not anymore!) - Bomb massages - Fast - Nails last a long time as they do not feel the need to rip off their customers (we always come back!) Give this place a try and check out their sale going on! read more

This is a great soon. Very personable with a desire to make their customers happy. Reasonably priced.

Very good service and great prices. They did a great pedicure and manicure. The deluxe pedicure is worth it. Very clean, they had masks and plexi screens. I like that you get your own set of tools. read more

I had a very good experience getting a manicure and pedicure done. The staff is friendly. I like the fact that they have two hand nail drying fans to help your nail paint dry during the service. Also, they don't rush you to leave the massage chair after your pedicure letting your nail paint dry. read more

I LOVE this place! My sister and I had been looking for a new spot to get our nails done, and we found it here! It's such a relaxing, cute spot, and we leave every time loving our nails! The ladies who work there are so nice too! Highly recommend :) read more

best nails in town!! good pricea and great service , all the ladies are very nice. the place is very clean.

Chic Nails The ladies who work here are simply awesome. They know what they are doing. And they are always in a happy mood and ready to go the extra mile. The prices are also competitive. Cash is king because they don't accept credit cards. The best thing is that they have my personalized box with the tools! I feel like a VIP! After each use the clippers etc. are sanitized and packed and stored in a plastic box. Give this place a try. You won't regret it. read more

The gals at L'Chic nails do a great job. They stick to appointment times and are very kind to me and my kids. I waited to write this review until after I had visited 3 times... my experiences were consistently delightful. We've done the shellac mani, the deluxe pedi, and the child mani/pedi. They don't take credit card but do take check so I avoid the enough cash panic. read more

Amazing salon. affordable prices and the ladies that work here are absolutely wonderful.

I'm so confused by this place. Walking in I asked if they had time for a quick mani, they started speaking in their language and the lady asked me what color I wanted and I'm like, I still need to pick one from the wall. So then they tell me to pick a color. I was going to leave bc of what seemed to be attitude coming from the girl that was going to do my nails but I was patient and wanted to see what this place was about. Manicure was ok. She was quick but didn't remove my old nail polish thoroughly. Cleaning of my nails was ok as well. Application of the polish was terrible. She applied the polish messily and then "cleaned" the edges with a brush. Look at the picture of how messy the polish application was and how the sides of my nails weren't painted. Girls there seem to be smart asses. They speak in their language amongst themselves and giggle. I know most places do that but the vibe I got from this place I know they were talking about me and the other 3 customers. I hoped to like this place since it's so close to my house and it's a cute shop but like the other reviewers say, workers there aren't inviting. Won't be coming back read more

This place superseded my expectations. The colors were spot on and they even gave a little free massage at the end. It was so nice and relaxing! great prices too! Btw- they only accept cash/check or zelle!! read more

I was overdue for pedicure since not having one due to Shelter in Place. Luckily this county opened nail salons a few weeks ago. I called ahead and I was seen that same afternoon. Staff are wearing masks and you are expected to do the same. Only two patrons when I walked in. Every other station is blocked off and clear plexiglass panels separate the staff and customer. You area asked to wash your hands as soon as you walk in. And no more magazines to leaf through. The place was clean. The service was good and did a very nice job on the pedicure. Completely satisfied. Only cash accepted. read more

Today was the second time I got a mani / pedi with Lynn She is wonderful, as all the girls seem great. It is a small, friendly, clean and comfortable salon that is very welcoming. I'm thrilled that I have found a great, neighborhood salon where I feel comfortable and enjoy going to. Massages are the BEST!!! read more

Update- This one lady there is mean and harsh. I got stuck with her the 2nd time i went there. My favorite person is Lina. I do not know the name of the mean lady, but that is the reason I'm not going back. Almost unoticed in a corner of a strip right across from the Safeway plaza, this is definitely the most intimate nail salon I have been to. Thuy and Lina talk to you and basically the customers all talk together too. They close at 7pm. Within 3 hours they are able to tend to at least 5 clients. Thuy is great at multi-tasking and still does a fine job. They can do glittery nail tips and nail art. Their pedicure massage chairs give one of the best mechanic massages. I am happy with my gel silver glittery nail tips done by Thuy. However the lady working on my toes did not use strength while massaging my feet and did not thoroughly paint my nails.She did not know how to do the design I asked for and seemed a bit upset. Lina had to keep telling her in vietnamiese what to do. Eventually Thuy did my design and finished my nails. Next time I am definitely asking for Lina for my pedicure, she was working on my friend and did an excellent job while making us laugh. They really do have individual boxes for your personal tools. This place doesn't amaze me with their decor,but the personalities of Thuy and Lina create a warm environment for all their customers. read more

Just had another fabulous pedicure with Oanh! So, ladies and gentlemen, why is no one else in here with me? Ok, it's Monday morning, but still..... Reasons to come here: 1) You want to treat your friend to a manicure/pedicure and then go to lunch to finish catching up. 2) You have had a long day at the office, or shopping, and you want a relaxing pedicure and leg massage before going home, or out to dinner. 3) You need to purchase a gift certificate for a birthday gift, a teacher's gift, or for someone who's hard to buy for. 4) You don't need a reason to pamper yourself! Book now, or just go there! You won't regret it! read more

I love this nail salon! The ladies working there are very responsible, even calling you if you are late for an appointment to see if you are coming in. It is very clean, has great color choices, an array of services and most importantly, they give you a mini massage after they do your nails, which is my favorite part!! Well priced! If you want your nails done and want to feel relaxed when you leave, come here! read more

I have been coming here for years and they've always done a great job on my nails. My favorite manicurist is Lynn. She's attentive to details and very friendly. If you become a regular, they'll keep a private box of nail tools with your name on it! For hygiene they also use disposable plastic liners in the foot bath. They offer a bottle of water and their prices are good. read more

If I could give 10 stars I would. This place is the best I've been able to find. Prices are very reasonable. The staff is super friendly and amazing on what they do. Being a guy and getting the nails done, most places do a half job, not here, I feel like I get a great service. They even have a little tool box with your name on it. ;) read more

I have been coming here for over twenty years, and I am their biggest fan. This place has the friendliest technicians who do the best work! I have never had a bad mani/pedi in all my years of coming here. This place is super clean, and regular clients get their own box of utensils used just for them, cleaned after every use. They know your name, ask after your family and do amazing work. They have done my daughters' mani/pedis when I brought my daughters in as wee tots for a "special" treat - through my daughters' prom dates, up to my daughters as their clients too! I have had mani/pedis done on my broken foot...gently! Oh so gently through the top of my cast! And gotten compliments on the pretty toes. This place is terrific. read more
