    nails at giants game

    I got recommended by my coworker to come here and I'm so glad I did. I loved how my nails came out and they still look great 2 weeks later.

    I absolutely love my nails! The design was a white, nude, and glittery color just like I asked for and they also glow in the dark which was a big plus! Even after two weeks they still glow and my nails felt intact and no chipping! The shop felt very welcoming and service there is fantastic!

    I love Kiet but I gave this shop way too many chances, From them Fighting in the salon, throwing things while I was pregnant to overcharging me for a plain nail design This past weekend I went in for my regular appointment with the intentions of getting treated like a loyal customer but nope my nails came out horrible- I never get square and he applied it- the acrylic was hella thick for no reason the shape wasn't filed right at all as you can see in the picture and when I came back to change the color they didn't even knowledge that maybe a different hand design with different colors would work like it was bad customer service I'm really sad to go from here but I shouldn't get treated like that at all with the amount of money I spend that's why I didn't tip P.S the funny below is the owners girlfriend lol look how they take it as a joke smh they ain't professional at all

    I normally don't write reviews but I had to this time for my daughter's experience with an acrylic set! After going to multiple nail salons we came across Lush Lyfe Studio. Kiet did an amazing job of explaining the process the whole time and was nice enough to offer advice for future manicures. He is very friendly and super fun to talk to. My daughter loved her set especially the simple but nice design Kiet's wife did. (it can be hard pleasing a teenager!) This will definitely be our go to for acrylic! Thanks!

    Kiet is the absolute best! His work is gorgeous. Heard about him from a friend. My daughter was adamant about scheduling an appointment with him so we Sent him a message around 7 PM the night before we actually wanted to schedule. He replied right away and locked my daughter in. He was very clear on his pricing and asked for a deposit to hold the appointment, which I sent though Venmo. It's so hard to find a nail tech who does exactly what you ask for with a little twist of his own personality so no one else has your nail design. If your looking for amazing nails and one of a kind designs, you will need Kiet. His schedule is usually pretty full so definitely book in advance. We got lucky he had an opening on short notice.

    Wow, I think I have found my new go-to nail tech! I heard about Kiet from one of my good friends who always gets her nails done by him and they always look on point. My birthday is coming up so I wanted to make sure they were POPPIN'. She helped me book an appt since he is appointment only but lemme just say that he's worth the time and money. I came in with a horrendous crooked set from a different shop and he did me a favor by fixing my nails. He took his time with me throughout the whole appointment (2 hours) and explained everything he was doing step by step. His work is powder only and it's pretty nice and clean compared to the usual work I get done from other shops. He definitely takes pride in his work and won't let you leave til you're satisfied with your nails. Book with him today, your nails will thank ya!

    Kiet is amazing. He is fast and very easy to talk to. I told him exactly what i wanted and he hooked me up!! I'm coming back again for sure

    First of all, idk why there is hella bad reviews, but my experience was great and fun. This was my first time getting my nails done by kiet and I'm in LOVE with my set. Kiet is super friendly and talkative! You won't be in that seat in silence, which I think is nice because majority of my nail techs never had the interest in talking to me.. or to any of their clients. During my appt he gave me a run down of what he was doing and using--which was a plus. He's not the type to throw unnecessary bs when doing your nails. Really straight forward and upfront with his work. He takes credit of his work and if something goes wrong with your nails within 3 days of after geting your set, he will accommodate you--no questions asked. As far as how my nails are doing--IM IN LOVE!! The shape, detail, and precision of my nails are on point. I'll give an updated review with the longevity and quality of the products. Big s/o to Kiet, Lan, and Christian for making my first time a great experience!!

    DONT GO HERE This place is overhyped & overpriced. 100 dollars for nails that are breaking off a week & a half later. Let me just save you the trip.

    This is some of my work, if you wanna see more of my design go ahead to my IG : nails.by_tiana Dm or text me there to book appointment

    ********Pro Tip: BRING QUARTERS/CHANGE FOR YOUR PARKING. Kiet is incredibly hard working and passionate about his art. He doesn't just do your nails and go. He walks his clients through whatever he's doing and makes sure they understand why he does what he does. He takes his time and genuinely works with the acrylic powders to create a unique piece of art on each of his clients. Kiet, Lan, Cristian and Elise all do amazing nails. They are all welcoming to everyone, and anyone who walks into their shop.

    I'm so happy that Kiet is in Burlingame! I've been looking for a nail salon in the area that could do amazing things with nails but the closest was going to San Francisco. I normally just get white tip nails but I am extremely happy with his work. Definitely recommend and will continue going here. I can't remember the woman's name that did my pedicure but she was phenomenal as well! It's very quality work.

    Thank you again, Helen!…read more I came in for a fill since my last set was about a month ago. It felt so nice that she remembered me from my previous appointment, especially since this was only my second time coming in. She pays attention to detail, as she took the time to read my review and made slight adjustments, like making the apex thicker for better structure. Definitely book with her :)

    TLDR; more affordable place to get a gel manicure but come with an open mind. Staff are nice but…read moreyou must bring up issues to them early on (before you put in UV light). Details: Made a same day reservation online for gel x removal (set from another place) and gel manicure but ended up changing the manicure to have gel builder so my nails can still be as strong. I had Quy as my nail artist and he was overall good but needed some help. The removal process was different than what I'm used to. After shaving off the coating, he soaked my hands in a cup of acetone and repeated that for about 3-4 times. After each soak, he would wipe my hands with a paper towel which was interesting. This process took about 30 or so minutes. After that, he cut, filed and shaped my nails. My nails were just long enough to have them almond as I asked but he shaped them pretty round. I had to ask him again to make them more pointy. I also asked if we could use gel builder instead of regular gel so my nails can stay strong and he confused that by thinking I needed extensions to put the gel builder on top. Just as he said he should I do dip powder instead, thankfully his coworker let him know he can use gel builder as a base too so we were able to continue. I will say, this is where his gel experience started to show because he would paint my each hand then put it in the UV light to cure/dry. If you've done gel before, you'd know that 1-2 fingers can be painted and dried at a time so it's a long and tedious process. But it's necessary so that each finger is dried properly to apply the next coat and doesn't get messed up string the application because they're still wet. I think he wasn't aware of that and just wanted to be quick and efficient. But 1 minute for the entire hand to dry was not enough and my coat was still tacky. I raised it to him and he said it's fine which ended up not when it came to the end. He was flexible whenever I asked for thin French tip design and when I asked for a charm midway but not too late. He did the French tip pretty well but i noticed he didn't connect the end lines higher like other salons I've been so that if you see a side view of the nails, you'd see a gap, especially when it grows out. I pointed it out to him and he tried correcting but I just let it go - it's a very minute detail. After that, he applied top coat which I was surprised because we hadn't done the charm yet. I'm used to the charms and designs being applied first and then you cure it and then top coat it. And as expected he worked on one hand at a time it was still tacky after curing. When it came to the charm, a different staff member applied it for me. They have a variety of charms which is nice. But their application was a little sus for me. They don't apply top coat over the charm - just at the base so the charm is exposed and unprotected and got caught in clothing. They also don't realize you cannot put the entire hand and twist it for the thumb to cure. My charm slide off while curing because of the hand position, so they head to start over which became messy. I honestly would only come back for a simple design and gel manicure.

We can chat for HOURS about all the things- when they say your nail artist is a part-time therapist, it's true. It really feels like hanging out with a girlfriend whenever we have our appts.

I've brought so many intricate designs to her & she's been able to execute flawlessly (even looking better than what's posted online). Additionally, my nails have never been longer OR stronger.

I love that she adds her own flare to them making each design unique in their own way. Her attention to detail is unmatched, you can tell she takes pride in her work. I am known for sending Bonnie multiple inspo pics before our appointment and I really appreciate Bonnie takes the time to look at each of them and provides me with her feedback and suggestions. I always end up going with Bonnie's suggestions. I trust her so much that I tell her to surprise me with a design and colors. She understands each of her clients style so her suggestions are made accordingly. I really look forward to my monthly appointments with Bonnie. She is so warm and friendly, the studio has such a welcoming energy. I have recommended people to Bonnie before and everyone raves about her! I even took my mom to see Bonnie when she was visiting and she cannot stop raving about how excellent her work was. She is already planning on seeing Bonnie the next time she is in town. I am always getting compliments on my nails and how amazing they look. People are always asking who I go to. I see Bonnie every 4 weeks and my nails still look flawless at 4 weeks as they did freshly done. I get structured gel manicure with cuticle treatment and design every time. No chipping or lifting! Her studio is in Burlingame and very easy to find (inside Chic beauty salon - in the back room). Parking is easy (metered or 2 hour neighborhood parking). I highly recommend making an appointment with Bonnie!! I promise you that you will fall in love with her work!
