I spent about 2 hours to get my nails done and it totally worth it! The friendliness and attentiveness of the owner and staffs impressed me. The nail salon is located in a cool and quiet area, surrounded by pastry and coffee shops. The price is really good and the colors are varied. My nails were done by Vivi. She did a great job and really does very carefully, patiently from nail polish, powder to painting. My nails were neatly painted in exactly the same way as the pictures I showed her.

I'll probably follow Van to the end of the earth, she's so great at what she does! She takes her time, she is creative, and she will tell you what she thinks will look good if you need a little guidance. She's also really good with designs if you like that. I would highly recommend asking her and you can text her for an appointment which is really easy and convenient!

How thick the polish was on top of the application the day before

I've been going to my regular nail lady for 8 years. When I need a pedicure or a quick nail fix if my regular person is out of town I will stop by here on my way home from work. Nice quiet salon. I've always had a great experience except this time. I don't like to write negative reviews but I need this addressed. I loved my nails yesterday the nail tech made my nails feel brand new my hands were so refreshed and my cuticles were amazing! Hence the 2 stars. They were a little thick but oh well. Today at work I noticed that my top coat was chipping so I gave them a call and told them I was gonna stop by after work for them to fix it. No problem at all. I got there and the tech started buffing my nails. Then she added a new top coat and more chrome. You could tell the difference from where the previous topcoat and chrome was, I asked her to just remove the polish and I would pay for the removal and redo as they were already thick and if she kept putting polish on top they were going to be thicker. Instead she put another layer of base coat (pink) saying it was going to make it even. Yeah it did but it was so thick! I asked her if she can make it thinner and just buff them out more if she wasn't going to change my color. She buffed them more and added the chrome. As you can see in the photo of my nails in the car, they were so uneven. The corners were so thick! Thankfully I didn't get charged to get them "fixed" Needless to say I am not going to go back a third time, I came home super unhappy, my nails looked like press-on nails. Thankfully I still have my stuff from the when I did my nails during Covid. But when I was filing my nails down to remove the gel myself you can see how thick the layers were on top of yesterday's application. It's ridiculous! 2 hours later I did my nails myself, yeah they aren't the best but at least they don't look like I stuck putty on my nails and they are even. I'm so disappointed, I asked for her to fix them, even offered to pay whatever I needed for them to be redone the right way. Next time, just listen to your customers....especially when they aren't asking you to do it for free.

Fantastic customer service! I've gone twice and both people I went with either went back or want to go back! Both times I've gone, my nails were fantastic! Vanessa is incredibly skilled, patient, and sociable - can't wait to catch up next time. Calm atmosphere, great color selection, and very caring workers.

Van did an excellent job on my nails. She was so friendly, creative and patience. If I want something on my nails, she would do her best to satisfy my request. This is my first time getting a gel manicure and I'm really satisfied and will definitely come back.

Gel manicure

This has been my nail salon for the past 7 months and I highly recommend it! I always see Lena, who is now the new owner! She is so kind and so attentive to detail. She always makes sure you have water, the massage chair is on, and your feet stay warm. The prices are very fair, $35 for gel manicure, $35 hour long pedicure with wonderful massage. They do only accept cash or check so come prepared- ATM available in the shopping center. I feel very well cared for here and always have perfect, long lasting gel manicures and pedicures. Lena takes the time to get to know you and she remembers what you tell her! Call/text Lena for an appointment. I've never had to wait when I arrive with an appt. Favorite nail salon experience ever.

I just moved to the area and was looking for a nail salon that did acrylic. Great job done by Vanessa . She took her time and did exactly the shape and color I asked for .

Alison S.

Vanessa did an amazing job on my nails! She was so kind, creative and professional. I LOVE her work. Leena also did an amazing pedicure for me. I'm really picky about my nails, and for me I give this place 10 out of 10

Love it

I really like the way that Vy did my nail... she is very careful and listen to your idea and advices. The shop is very clean and comfy. The owner is very friendly and welcoming. The pictures can tell everything... I will for sure come back here again for my nail. Especially the price is affordable for your pocket... thumb up and recommended...

Richelle G.

I really wanted to like this place because it is a convenient location for me. I got a regular manicure and pedicure. The place itself is clean and the technicians are friendly. I am happy with my pedicure which is why I gave 2 stars, however, my manicure was peeling and chipping by the next day!I am posting pictures of 2 days later. I did not do anything that would cause them to do this. Poor quality nail polish?

Hanna N.

Vanessa does the best job. She is the sweetest person and I definitely will come here again. She takes her time making sure every client is happy and even accommodated my friend and I with some water refreshments. I love my nails so much and she will assure you are happy leaving the salon. You need to come and get your nails done here. Thank you Vanessa‍‍‍

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.

I've been a long time customer of EWC. I don't normally go out of the way to write a bad review but…read morethis was just a poor experience at front desk. I lived all over the bay area and southern california this past decade and loved them. Today's experience with the front desk reception is the final nail in the coffin for me to stop being a return customer. I saw there's plenty of small wax businesses with high reviews and for less than what EWC is charging. I never thought to look elsewhere because i was loyal to the brand. I didn't realize i was overpaying! first red flag was being asked if i completed my pre-wax survey and that it should be in my email in what felt like a rude tone. my waxer then came out and was ready for me and the receptionist held me from going until answering the questions - i get it that's fine but being held back from my appt has never happened to me before. my waxer was wonderful! a great experience. i don't want to minimize that the waxers are great there. afterwards the receptionist asked me to charge my card, i said the last 4 digits and normally that's not a problem and the last 2 times i was there at this location it worked fine. but for some reason, now the payment wasn't going through. we think it's the zip code and i ask is there a way i can just pay and update all that at a later time - i am so used to just being able to leave right after that i ended up being late to another appointment having to tap my phone and card several times and each time the machine stated approve but their systems said failed. i check my bank statement and there were 5 charges to my card - all the same amount. i hold up my phone to show them. this is now ~$700 in held pending transaction funds going into the weekend - its was 4pm on friday and banks close over the weekend. i honestly don't understand why i couldn't just tap a credit card like any normal transaction and be on my way - the woman at the reception really had me staying back asking me for my whole address to update instead of just letting me pay and leave! )-: ADVICE: Do not keep tapping your payment method when updating info or if they tell you the charge isn't going through, just ask to pay normally like at any other merchant as a one time charge. i really wish i advocated more when it didn't feel right to be tapping my payment so many times and seeing APPROVED across the payment machine. my appointment was at 3:30pm i was out at about 4pm on friday, may 15. there was only one receptionist at the front at the time. i didn't recognize her so maybe she was new but this experience just really tipped it all over for me. there's a lot of waxers in the area! i advise looking around before deciding on a large chain that has some customer service quality issues. EDIT: yes i have challenged the charges on my bank app already - i just don't have the time to call before lines close for the weekend and the experience over all with the higher prices made it feel like value didn't match spend.
