My first time here- Vicky did a great job. Staff was very welcoming and friendly throughout. Salon looked very clean and organized. I gave 4 instead of 5 because nails are beautiful and great quality but not "perfect". But I will be returning. Would recommend. read more

I go here, their staff is good, the color choice is great but my daughter and I have experienced that they do not shape the nails properly, the shape of each finger nail does not match, they want to finish the work very quickly. read more

Highly recommend this place. I came in for a walk-in manicure and Bella was available to help me out. Bella had so much attention to detail and my nails came out wonderful. I did a basic gel manicure in a pink color. Would definitely return for a manicure for Bella again! Highly recommend this place and Bella for painting your nails! read more

All I needed was a fill. I wanted ombre. Paid $47 and I can still see where the fill SHOULD HAVE BEEN and I have idk what all on my fingers (feels like glue but I'm sure it's acrylic) and I'm still peeling it off my fingers. My cuticles were cut however she cut all around my fingers. I'm bleeding on 3 fingers and my fingers all hurt. I use to go to this place for a long time years ago but I'll never go back after this. My fingers hurt so badly and my nails look like crap. I am so upset if I could give no stars I would. read more

Used to come here a lot. I've always got super simple nails, either one color or French tips. This last time I went was horrible. I've never had a problem here getting French tips on stiletto shaped nails before. They're all so uneven. I asked in the shop for her to fix them but they don't look any better. My nails are so thick and oddly shaped, I actually hate them. The stilettos are not pointy and they are really wide. read more

My friend and I walked in for a fill on a Thursday night. We wanted some Valentine's Day nails! The gentleman greeted us right as we walked in. The nail techs where able to see us within 5min. They did our nails just like we wanted including the design we wanted! At a great price. We found our new nail place. read more

Well... I tried this place once again, after years of going to other nail shops, hoping that things might've changed. The reason I never returned just came SCREAMING back to me. There is zero consistency and quality in the way they do nails. The pictures posted with us. We're just from four days ago. I had to file and paint over with a similar color, hoping no one would notice well celebrating Christmas with family. Super frustrated that when I came by to fix it, they didn't seem to want to help me fix the problem without charging me for it, or potentially, didn't believe that I had gone to them in the first place. And I'm ALWAYS a really good tipper. I wish I could get my $30 tip back. I will ABSOLUTELY NEVER be returning to this place.!!!! read more

Today was the first time in over 20 years that I've had a full set of nails done. The special occasion for me is my daughter's wedding this weekend and Mimi did not let me down. She works quickly, yet is very meticulous in getting things straight, even and smooth. I wanted a little bling but did not know exactly what would look best. She took it from there and the results are sleek, clean and stylish. Thank you Mimi for your excellent skills and my beautiful mother-of-the-bride nails! read more

My photos of my nails are from April, July & August-September. The nails photographed with black and purple or my most recent unfortunately this morning I broke a nail so I went back and ask Kathy to fix the broken nail told her black would be fine instead of going through all the trouble of having to redesign the broken nail she offered to freestyle with black acrylic not a problem for me, the last picture with the circle is the end result. I love Kathy, considering every time I go in there with my own design in my head Kathy will always put it into play and she never disappoints me. Thank you Kathy read more

Not a great experience. The first visit resulted in a terrible manicure. When I went back to get it corrected the technician was annoyed and rushed through "fixing" my nails. The results of the "correction" was not much better. Then she actually wanted to charge me for "fixing" the work that should have been done correctly the fist time. I don't recommend this place and no I will not be going back. read more

As a hand model, I have to get manicures very often. I trust Lucy with everything! Lucey is amazing! She always has my nails very clean and perfectly painted. I had a woman here, I cannot remember her name but she was amazing also, and till she moved to Texas the period since then I have been working with Lucy and I am so so happy she is as amazing as she is. I have been going to this nail salon for over 10 years, I am moved to the East Bay so although I cannot come here every single time, I come here as often as I can. Expression Li if I have a commercial I am doing. I remember back when this spot used to be a lot smaller, since then they have expanded so much. I am very happy for their growth. read more

I came here for the first time with my coworker and was helped by Kathy, she did a great job and was the first to ever ask me about cleaning my cuticles and though two nails were slightly crooked I didn't mind because the shape was really nice and they were smooth. Had a mommy daughter date and brought my almost 8 year old daughter to get her toes and nails done with me. I showed them pictures of what we wanted, and the lady doing my daughters nails looked very stressed out because she wanted multi colored with little kitty designs, and I wanted something like an ombré glitter heart nails. Pics are provided of what we wanted compared to what we got. They did not do the gel and I paid as much as I would somewhere else for my daughter for her not to get gel so it will chip soon. My toes did not get gel, and my acrylic nails are bumpy and the butterfly designs are poking out from the gel. I will not be coming back, spent a little over $100 and feel like I wasted my money. Going to find somewhere to fix my nails.. read more

Mimi is the BEST nail technician there! I stopped going there due to pregnancy, but I returned for my mani and pedi. She still got it! She will listen to you, and will analyze the photo inspo you give her. She will do everything possible to replicate the photo and to make you heard. You can not find nail techs like her. Thanks Mimi! read more

Did a walk in at 8.50 am. 2 ladies were there . They asked if I had an appointment and I said no. I just need 1 nail fixed. They said they had appointments and to wait as someone else will be coming in. 2 customers came in, neither one had an appointment. 1 wanted a pedicure and the other wanted nails. Both ladies helped the walking and not me,and I was there first. Both Customers were even saying that they should take me first, and the techs would not help me. The next tech came in and she said she had a 9 am appt, but another tech would be in shortly. So that tech came in but didn't do the powder. I finally did get helped from the tech who had a 9 am appt, because she had to at least wait 10 minutes for a no show before she could help me. I called and reported this to the store manager Kevin. He said he would review the camera and then talk to them. I will never go back to this salon and I have been a loyal Customer for the last 1 1/2 years. I guess having only 1 nail to do was not worth their time.. that's how it felt!!! read more

After looking at their reviews I was so excited to get art done on my nails. I mean the name of the business is Nail Art!! Too bad no one out of the 10 employees there was able to actually put 2 simple hearts on my party nails. So as you can see below in the picture, I asked for the cute red with jewel and white with red hearts party nails and I got blah. I prefer bubblegum pink so that was the only difference I asked for. (Yes that pic in red is from their actual yelp pics and not an idea I just made up on the spot). I normally grow my nails long but since I broke some, they were a little shorter than normal. But after my nail tech filed them, all of my nails ended up looking short and squat. Ugh! The front desk lady ended up spraying the hearts with a stencil and couldn't even make them look like hearts. I was so frustrated that after multiple times of her trying to make a heart I told her to just wipe it off. I gave up. This is supposed to be a place of relaxation and beauty and I felt the opposite. Also, I hate when I go to nail salons and they all speak in a different language to each other. You know they are talking crap about you or the situation and It's rude! The only positive was the pedicure. You can't mess up painting toes. read more

Hidden Gem!! My family and I have been coming here recently and we love the service and technicians. We found this establishment on yelp. Don't believe the 1 star reviews, people just feel the need to give a negative review because they couldn't get serviced. People also would take the time to write a negative review and not a good one. I usually book an appointment with Vicky or Jenny, they're patience and efficient. When I'm normally there I see a lot of their regular clients return because they're addressed by name. They would ask if you're happy with the service before you pay therefore many clients leave content. We come to realized that sometimes the places with not high ratings are the good ones especially in restaurants too. read more

Overall a pretty nice spot. I always come here for my acrylic nails and my pedicures. Most of the times my nails turn out great, some times they turn out just okay, maybe a little uneven or funny shaped, but never horrible. Definitely returning here. read more

I wanted to try a new nail salon because previous nail salons didn't meet my standards . However , this nail salon did . I personally like acrylic nails that are a bit "Extra" and I can say that Lily did an amazing job . I have never seen someone who makes sure that the nail is perfect and doesn't have any bumps . She took her time perfecting everything! She made sure I was comfortable with the powder she used and the colors , just incase I didn't like what the color looked like on my nails. She did outstanding! The customer service is amazing , the Manager welcomed everyone ! The nail salon is kind of hidden . Everything is done outside and they make sure to sanitize everything! My mother got a pedicure from Julia and she loved the way she took her time to get everything! read more

This place is the worst I've been to in a long time. They had about a 30 minute wait on a Saturday morning, which was understandable so I my friend and I just walked about until our turn. When they did both out nails, it was super fast. I asked for an almond shape while my friend just stuck with square nails. The shape was awful! It was so uneven and crooked that when I got home I had to reshape them myself. I filed the color off too since so much shaping had made the gel chip. It's been one week and without color I can clearly see how much lifting there is! Like every single nail! I paid $37 for a new set and shape and it's more than what I usually pay at other salons. read more

I usually get my pedis here so I thought I'd try a full set white powder tip for the first time in 6 months since being pregnant. I've been wanting to grow out my nails but maternity photo shoot is tomorrow so I figured a new set would be pretty. I was so wrong. I showed the nail tech the inspo nail picture and she said the white tip can't be too far up because of my nail bed, fair enough, I asked her just as far up as you can make it please. Throughout the process not once was I asked what shape do I want so I'm assuming she's going based off the picture. Wrong again. Then we get to the pink powder. I told her I don't want it that pink. More natural. She tells me "that doesn't look pretty". I'm way too nice and proceeded to shut my mouth. Overall horrific experience with this set I just want to take them all off before my maternity photo shoot tomorrow, I should've known. I'm sitting here at home filing the sides in hopes to make them look somewhat decent but as soon as I was given an older nail tech I should've requested someone else. The thing is I still tipped her for her service and when paying I said "everything was good" but the more I sit at home and show my friends, bf & daughter, the more horrified I am with this set.

I've lived in San Jose for nearly ten years and this is hands-down the best place I've found as long as I've been here. The service is great and they always have the newest nail trends available before anyone else. I was getting chrome from this shop MONTHS ago! This came in handy the other day when I was stuck on an elevator with a coworker I can't stand who kept bragging about her "new" chrome nails. I took one look, then smiled and said "Oh, chrome! Cute, I had those back in August." Haha, that was fun. *evil smirk* Now I'm into holographic nails and after calling around I quickly found out that most shops in the area don't even offer them yet and those that do are charging way too much. Nail Art on the other hand is extremely reasonable, especially considering the level of service they offer. The people working there are also really great. Connie, the lovely girl who does most of the nail art is super sweet and always up on the latest nail trends. Leon, the guy who runs the shop, is a sharp looking dude who treats customers like family and makes sure we always leave happy. I know personal appearance doesn't have anything to do with nails, but if I'm going into a shop because I wanna step up my nail game, I'm not expecting much if the first person I see when I walk in is wearing slippers, knee socks, and a Nickleback t-shirt with carne asada stains down the front. That's definitely not the case here! They also have a huge staff and lots of stations so it's pretty easy to get an appointment, even it's super busy when you come in. If you want gorgeous, Instagram worthy nails at an affordable price, this is the place to go! read more

Nail Art - Holographic nails. I'm obsessed! - Nail Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

This is my second time going to nail art. First time I went was great Helen did a job! I loved it!!! But i went again today and i did a walk in because i realized late it was time for a fill. But I got a different lady, I don't know her name but she was in chair 12 and it was the worst time I've had ever at a nail salon. She was so rough with me and did a horrible job. I didn't even tip because she just wanted to finish and didn't even care. she left nail polish all over my fingers. I would understand if she just wanted to leave or something but they could have sat with someone who didn't mind getting a walk in. I never was rude or anything. I also work catering to people so I understand how it can feel with working with rude people which is why i never complained nor had an attitude. I would only ever come here again if I had an appointment with Helen. read more
