Coming back here forsure!! The owner took a photo of my nails. It was my first time being a hand model but it felt really special! 100-stars! read more

Our couple's pedicure together and it did NOT disappoint. We tried the Bali in the City Retreat Pedicure at Must Have Nails in Sunnyvale, and it was 100% worth it. We chose the $135 Bali package since i didn't want gel polishcolor or cuticle care, they even gave me an extra 5 minutes of massage, making it 30 minutes total, which i absolutely loved! Such a thoughtful touch. If you're looking for a relaxing date idea or want to treat someone special, I highly recommend it. My boyfriend and i left feeling so relaxed and refreshed. Definitely coming back! read more

Booked two mani/pedi appointments and confirmed them multiple times through their automated text system, only to arrive on time and still wait 10 minutes before being seated. Once we finally got to our pedicure chairs, it became obvious they had completely forgotten that we had also booked manicures. Everyone around us was getting both services at the same time while no one even acknowledged our hands. After I finally tracked down the manager, instead of simply admitting they had forgotten, she gave me some excuse about how "some clients prefer to do services separately." No one asked us that when we booked and there was nowhere to indicate a preference. What should have been a relaxing spa afternoon turned into a three hour ordeal that wasted half our day. They try to create a spa atmosphere with cookies and water, but the reality is cattle service, and mediocre cattle service at that. Definitely not the relaxing experience they market themselves as. Definitely will not be returning! read more

Came here to do a Hard Gel Removal that I had done in taiwan. The service is amazing, they take care of the client very well. Very professional, clean, peaceful music. The environment is super organized and they have a very good balance of staffing that explains what they do while the nail tech does your nails at the same time. The quality of the service is excellence. They also offer water and a snack! I had NiNi as my nail tech and she did an amazing job removing the gel. My nails look so good and don't look weak!

Really gorgeous nails and great service from Nini and Huoang! I came in at 9:30am for an appointment and was surprised by how busy it was. Of course it got busier throughout the day, but loved how calm and peaceful the environment was the whole time. I brought a picture of a really complex nail design and Nini truly delivered. I was not expecting that level of detail and every time I thought she was done, she was capturing more details from the photo than I would have expected. Even though we went over the allotted time she took her time to make sure everything looked perfect and was cleaned up nicel read more

I have been to plenty of nail shops in my lifetime however Must Have Nails is my new fav salon. Everyone is so kind and sweet. You check in with their iPad & payment is thru Venmo or Zelle. They're detailed with their work and I love how they explain the breakdown of services and pricing with you. They also have someone checking in on you to see how you are doing or if there are any concerns. Today, Henry took care of my nails and Kim took care of my pedi. OMG HENRY brought the shaping of my nails back to life. I'm so in love with the color and shape. I typically do builder gel because as someone who has had weak brittle nails in the past, builder gel has been a life saver. Kim is very sweet as well. My toes are so cute because of her. The shaping and color of the toenails are beautiful. I would 1000% recommend Must Have Nails. & booking is so easy. read more

I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Such an incredible experience! My friend and I made an appointment for new year for builder gel and it was so amazing! I went in with an inspo nail in mind but was really picky about the color. My nail tech Kim was so wonderful and patient and she let me try on multiple different greens and suggested creative design alternatives. She was so thorough and detailed and intentional throughout the entire process and took her time with the details. I felt soooo well taken care of. We ended up doing a mix of 2 different greens and a white for a jade marble design with Cat eye and also gold accent nails. Loved it so much. I also love that after the nail design and massage she let stay in the seat to chat with my friend and offered more tea and coffee on the house. read more

I really appreciate the salon reaching out to me after my experience yesterday and inviting me back for a complimentary service. It meant a lot that they took the time to address my concerns and genuinely wanted to make things right and ensure I left with a much better experience. The owner and front desk staff were both accommodating, sincere, and kind. Their effort to make things right really stood out to me. I also really love the atmosphere of the salon it's welcoming and relaxing. I'm happy I gave this place another try, and I'm glad to have had a much better experience this time. I've been looking for a new nail salon that I can continue going to, and I'm looking forward to coming back again soon! Thank you for making things right and showing that you truly care about your customers. read more

I'm visiting from SoCal and my sister wanted to try a new nail salon so we stopped by on 12/29/25. She called to make an appointment for her and my mom, but when we arrived, I decided to join in, so three of us ended up requesting to get services done. The owner was nice enough to accommodate with no issues. When we walked in the vibe was definitely relaxing and had a clean aesthetic. It was minimally, but spot on decorated for the holidays with burgundy velvet ribbons throughout the salon. As soon as our services were decided we were then offered drinks and received small waters and traditional madeleines. Nice touch! My sister and I were taken to the spa pedicure chairs where the water was already filling up. The spa chairs were very comfortable and had various back massage options. The salon opened approximately 3-4 months ago so everything was still in pristine condition. Amy started on my gel manicure and then she was switched to complete my gel pedicure and Kim came to finish my gel manicure. The owner was very apologetic about having to make the nail tech switch after my services had already started, but I was totally okay with it since I was a last minute addition. My mom received a gel manicure and she said her nail tech was very gentle, so she loved it. My sister and I both requested a gel pedicure and gel manicure and our nail techs were awesome! Mia and Sandy worked on my sister, while Amy and Kim helped me. They listened to what we wanted and rendered their services professionally. Everything the nail techs did was done in a pleasant manner; they were delicate while being detailed and moved with the right amount of pressure during the leg and arm massages. Our techs made sure we were comfortable every step of the way throughout our visit. My total was $140 for the Touch of Calm Retreat pedicure and the Harmony Glow Retreat manicure, both with gel fees. Including the tip, I paid $175. Overall, this salon provides calm spa feels, played subtle jazzy holiday music in the background and treated patrons with VIP level service for all. Next time I'm in northern Cali visiting family, I'd return. Since it was our first time there, we each received a small gift (hydrating body lotion and CBD massage body oil), which was an unexpected thoughtful surprise. There's plenty of parking, which is a plus. Come check them out if you Must Have Nails... done right! read more

It is always great to discover a local business that fits my busy schedule! I found this gem nail salon while looking for a last-minute Sunday pedicure and was thrilled to see that they open at 9:00am (earlier than other nail shops)! I made reservation online just 30 minutes before they opened without a problem. The location is very convenient with plenty of parking and a Starbucks right next door. I was greeted warmly by Chloe and paired with Philip for my pedicure. He was wonderful, sweet, gentle, and very detail-oriented. I'm so glad I discovered this spot. I'll definitely be asking for Philip next time and I look forward to becoming a regular! PS - Prices are very reasonable. Place was clean and I observed good cleaning/ sanitizing after each customer. read more

Rating this a 5 stars for the quality of my nails + excellent service + ambiance. Salon is def on the pricier side - my gel mani was $80 but you pay a premium for the luxe amenities - super aesthetic studio, high quality materials and seats, + 5 star treatment. The quality of the gel mani I will say is excellent - looks perfect with no signs of chipping after a week. The studio itself is one of the prettiest nail salons i've ever seen and the workers there are super sweet and greet you with a little snack and water! I also like that they provide you with a cute wooden phone holder so you can scroll tiktok while waiting for your gel mani. read more

Must Have Nails is the best nail salon in my opinion. The salon is very aesthetically pleasing and has a cool yet calm vibe to it. I came in one morning for a mani appointment and I was the only one there so I ended up deciding to get a pedi too. It was so relaxing! Nancy gave me my gel pedicure and she gave the most amazing leg and foot massage. My muscles and feet were so fatigued from exercise, and Nancy gave me a real massage with excellent technique. Some nail techs just rub the lotion in but Nancy's massage was SO GOOD! Natalie did my mani nails and she is so skilled. She always gives me the perfect shape, length, and design I ask for. I had seen another girl get a nail set design at Must Have Nails on their insta, and I asked for something similar. Natalie delivered on the design and color choices. She exceeded my expectations. I love it here! I feel rejuvenated and my nails are so cute. read more

I really liked this salon the first time I came, they did such a cute polka dot French tip design for me! This time I came in for a fill and chose a simple ombré design. I thought it would be quick and easy, but it ended up taking about two hours. Since the ombré wasn't coming out quite right, I switched to a pink cat-eye design instead. I'm happy with how my nails turned out! the color is super pretty, and the customer service was great. They even served me Nespresso coffee and cookies, which was such a nice touch. I just wish they could do ombré designs more smoothly and be a little quicker with the process overall. read more

Super cute nail salon! I found this place on instagram and made an appointment. They were very nice to greet you once you enter the salon. They also serve you a madeleine and a water bottle. They only opened a few months ago so the salon is very new. The interior is super cute. Very nice chairs and lighting fixtures, Very calm and welcoming ambiance. I got both a gel x mani and a gel pedicure. Natalie did my nails and Hana did my toes. The nails turned out so cute. Natalie was very accommodating with my nail design requests. She perfectly executed my nails. I will be returning. My foot massage and pedicure turned out great as well. Hana did a great job painting my toes and massaging them. Since it was a soft opening, I got a 10% discount on my nails and a 15% discount on my toes. Overall I paid $172! Pretty reasonable pricing for both a pedicure and manicure experience. Overall this was a great experience and I will be back read more

Love coming to get pedicures and gel x! The environment is very relaxing and the staff is so sweet!

I wanted to update my review. I made an appointment to get gel x for my second visit here. I booked online with Natalie. When I arrived at my appointment time, I checked in, gave them my name and the worker told me a few minutes wait. For a Friday, they were busier and much busier than the Friday I was there the first time. I waited for about 15 minutes and another worker, I believe may have been the owner, asked me for my name and asked if she could help me. I told her I had an appointment at 5pm and I assume they are running behind. I finally got seated and I showed the technician my photo and what I wanted. I had another meeting after and didn't want to be late, since online the appt time scheduling said it was an hour 15 min for gel x. But she did get it done with an hour, however I felt like there were things that were not done during my service. She didn't wipe the nail dust under my nails and I have a build up which made my nails look "dirty". I tried to wash off but it stuck and I'll have to wait till next time to get it removed. Overall, the nails from the top look great, but I was annoyed that I had to wait for 15 minutes and gave my name twice which I felt like they didn't check in on me. read more
