Yuka and Marie are the absolute sweetest nail techs! My friend and I wanted to get our nails done for the first time ever, and I'm so glad we came here. We wanted Japanese gel manicures--something cute, durable, and simple. Booking an appointment was super easy! We reached out to Yuka on Yelp, and she was able to help us pick out designs and schedule a pair appointment. One of the things that drew me to Yuka's (besides her incredible designs!) was the option for a pair appointment, as my friend and I wanted to experience our first mani's together. Make sure you know what you want before booking--it's helpful to have inspo pics on hand, or you can choose from the many designs posted on Yelp or her Instagram. We both went with a single color nails, with one accent nail. The overall experience was quite quick, but we never felt rushed at any point. Yuka and Marie were efficient, gentle, and patient with our first-time shyness and nerves :) I seriously can't stop looking at my hands and touching my nails! I received so many compliments on the adorable dry flower accent and I never want my nails to grow out. I feel like I couldn't stop myself from gushing, "sooo cuuuteeee!!" every five minutes. We were even inspired for our next set of nails by Yuka's current matte knit set on her own hands~ The whole experience has converted me and I'm never painting my nails at home on my own again. Counting down the days until our next appointment~ read more

I arrived for my 6:30pm appointment only to be asked to wait 15 minutes. Apparently someone doesn't know how to tell time because I had to wait until 7:50pm to finally sit down and be seen. Missed my dinner reservation because of poor time management. Prior to the appointment I shared an image of what I would like done and was told that's not a problem. I questioned what appointment type I would need. I booked an appointment expecting to pay approximately $200 as stated on the website. I didn't leave until almost 10:00PM that night. I was charged 508.00 for a manicure that consists of gel, glitter and two plastic gems per nail. She can't manage an appointment book nor can she give clarity of her pricing. Don't bother, your time and money will be wasted. read more

Nail Design by Yuka - Nail Salons Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

My first and my last time here. I would give this place zero star if I can. This place is super money hungry and over charging customers. Showed up, someone else did my nails not Yuka herself. I showed Yuka a picture (extension and 1 color), she quoted me $70. Despite from the point of booking to the point I get my nails done, I told Yuka and the person who did my nails I just want 1 color gel and don't want to spend starting $200 even for the simplest design. She told me no extensions is $70. (Deduct 2 points) Constantly pushing to up sale and not telling me how much it costs up front when offered. One color, so the girl recommended me this cat eye glittery color (~$70 more?). Then she offered to put a couple pieces of bling on it (~$80 more), my bill came out $190 + $25 I deposited for booking. The Angela Johnson's nail salon comedy flashed before my eyes. At least that comedy said how much more it costs. (Deduct 1 more point) I saw they have press on nails for $80 with designs. I thought that's nicer and priced better than getting a set done live. Immediately, Yuka told me to measure my nail sizes. I asked if they could do it for me (thought with a strip tape like online order at some places) right now since I was already there and got nails done. She said no and added $10 on my bill for a set of clear nails (use for extensions) packaged on paper and plastic bag w/ sharpie $10 on it. (Deduct 1 point) Then on to my nails, she did a mediocre job on cleaning and I didn't like how it was colored so far from my cuticles. Brand new set but looked like it's already been a couple weeks grown out. Usually when I get nails done, 1st week looked as good as new and then 2nd week is when started to see signs of growth. (Deduct last point) for the overall bad experience. I don't think for what they offered was worth $200 or even $300-$400 for anyone doing more designs. They're not challenging to be charging that much. read more

Nail Design by Yuka - New set of nails painted too far from cuticle and skin was not well cleaned. - Nail Salons Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

One of my favorite nail salons, and the only one I will go to now that I moved to the Bay area. If you are into nail art, then this is the place for you! Yuka is extremely detail oriented and nothing on your nails will be missed. I can here 3 times this year and look forward to coming back in the future. It definitely is on the pricey side, so make sure you bring enough cash... I usually bring $500-$600 just to be safe. The first time I came in, I had an inspo pic and I think that Yuka made my nails look even better than the picture that I showed her. The total came out to $400 before tip. The second time, I had told Yuka ahead of time to come up with a design and Marie was the one that helped me that day. The nails once again was super pretty!! I didn't have to do any search about what kind of design I wanted since they determined that for me. It was only $415 before tip. The last time I went, I wanted something simpler and got just cat eye design with gold lines, that came out to $360? which I think was not worth it as much since for only $40 more I could've had a full design. Now keep in mind that all three times they had to build the extension again. I probably wouldn't come here if you are just looking for plain nails. Anyone can do that, but I definitely recommend coming here if you are looking for something unique and special. Be prepared to sit in the chair for 3hours +. read more

(English below) かなり左右非対称な眉毛になり、毎日非常に後悔しています。タッチアップで修正箇所を伝えるも逆ギレされたのか、高圧的な接客を受けました。左右対称な綺麗な眉毛にしたくてお金を払ったのに、後２年くらいこの眉毛だと思うとやり切れません。鏡や写真を見るたびに、施術日のことを思い出して嫌な気持ちになります。 修正費に当てたいのでせめて返金してほしいです笑　こちらのサロンで眉アートを検討されている方の参考になれば嬉しいです。 I was very disappointed and dissatisfied with her microblading technique and attitude. My eyebrows are now very uneven and weirdly shaped. I didn't like my eyebrows at all after the first treatment but I still had a little hope that they could get better after a touch-up. I tried to consult with her via text prior to the touch-up, which she never really replied. At the touch-up, She seemed pretty grumpy and upset with me the whole time, idk maybe because I told her I didn't like the eyebrows she designed? I tried to explain how I liked my eyebrows to look like. But She was not so patient with me and didn't really try to understand my preferences. I sometimes felt like she made fun of my opinions/preferences. Here I'm posting a photo of my eyebrows about 5 weeks after the touch-up. I really don't like my eyebrows. They're very uneven. I still need to draw my eyebrows every morning. (I got the microblading bc I didn't wanna draw them every morning lol) it wasn't worth the money at all. I wish I had never done it. I really can't wait for the microblading to fade away. read more

Update: Yuka now offers custom designed press-on nails shipped to your home and I can still have super cute nails during lockdown!! The press-on nails are so great--it's easy to apply, easy to remove (I prefer the adhesives over nail glue), and best of all, they're reusable!! Just take care not to damage them or lose them :) You can send your inspiration photos to Yuka, choose from her many designs posted on her Instagram, or ask her to help you create a new design! You measure your nails to find the correct sizes according to her guide, or buy a nail sizing kit so you can try the actual press-ons to find your sizes. You can also customize the length and shape. You can see some already made press-on designs + their prices on her website. I am super picky and as always, Yuka is so responsive and friendly! I am usually pretty particular with my desired designs and colors, and she always gives me lots of suggestions. I also trust her to choose what looks best for the design if I can't decide. I've ordered two sets so far (autumn plaid, winter bear) and I'm in love with both! Definitely consider supporting Yuka and ordering a press-on nail set! Her detailed designing and the ability to reuse them makes it so worth it :) read more

This would be 1 star, but it's 2 because the person who did my nails (Marie), did an EXCELLENT job. If this was a review for the nails alone, I'd give it 4 stars (minus 1 bc the price is astronomical). However, I was horrified by the lack of professionalism while doing my pedicure and callous removal. Yuka herself filmed the removal without my permission because she was surprised by the amount removed. She and her assistant made fun of me, making me as a first time customer feel really weird. I didn't know if this was their normal, "friendly" banter but it felt really off and hurtful. To her credit, when I followed up after the appointment to tell her that what she did was wrong, she acknowledged her mistake and apologized. However, the whole experience didn't sit well with me. I can't chalk it up to a cultural difference because Japanese culture emphasizes customer care and excellence. So I was truly at a shock. You also have to bring your own nail polish for the pedicure FYI. Besides this, the prices are SKY HIGH. It was the most I've ever paid for 3d nails + gel extension ($500+). I've paid less in both Tokyo and Los Angeles. I cannot in good faith recommend this place for callous removal or a pedicure. I'd just stick to simple 3d nails done only by Marie. read more

Yuka is AMAZING! She specializes in Japanese gel nail art, and is one of the best in the Bay Area. I've been a regular customer since 2018, and I'm always impressed by her artistry and attention to detail. Any design I ask for, she nails it (pun intended)! She has made a great effort to ensure that her salon is sanitized and follows procedures to make sure that customers feel comfortable with covid guidelines. If you're in the South Bay check her out! read more

Hi Yuka, Thanks for responding. I dont think you understand the simple logic. I did not cancel. You were the one who did not honor the appointment. I don't understand why you cannot comprehend. I have disputed the charge. I plan to report to BBB if it is not resolved. Thanks for understanding as well :) read more

Marie did an excellent job with my nails (nude color with partial gold flakes, on full set extensions), but the price is just too much. $276 after tip. For one color and gold flakes. Just let that sink in. Three days later, my pinky nail snapped off in the shower. That just ruined everything for me. For almost $300, I expect the quality to last for weeks. read more

I had to find a new nail artist after my previous one closed up shop and moved out of the area. I found a few nail artists I wanted to try (all the ones who do Japanese nail art seem to be in the South Bay area btw) and was able to get an appointment here. Let me get this out of the way: I cry a little inside when it's time to get my wallet out lol. My appointments here take at least twice as long and cost at least twice as much as the previous salon I went to. Yuka though is upfront with her pricing. There are fees for paying by anything other than cash it seems (again, it makes me cry a little inside), but it's made clear in the confirmation email and on the pricing menu that's displayed in her salon. Yes, it's pricey, but the work is meticulous, there's zero peeling, and I haven't had any charms come off at all. In addition, their designs suit my style and I get along with Yuka. Another thing to note: they're good about following Covid protocol. The two stations inside are socially distanced, and they usually keep the door to their suite open. They clean and sanitize their stations between customers and have clients sanitize their hands upon arrival. They limit people entering the building so you have to call when you arrive and wait to be let in by Yuka or Marie (unless a building worker is there to do that). In addition, Yuka's station has an iPad that plays things like Kpop or America's Got Talent for your entertainment which is nice as appointments take long. As for parking, there is a garage around the corner with plenty of free parking. I've been pretty satisfied with my experiences here and find myself often staring at my nails in admiration. I no longer feel the need to try any of the other nail artists in the area and feel I've got my new go-to nail art salon! read more

I had a great experience with Yuka! I easily made an appointment online. There's lots of options, but I had an idea of what I wanted so I went for a gel mani with nail art on up to 5-6 nails. I've been interested in Japanese manicures for a while and am impressed with the intricate details and how long they last. It's no wonder they cost about 2x the price of regular gel manis. I've gotten one other Japanese mani before elsewhere so I was familiar with the process. This time around with Yuka I wanted dry flowers. I arrived on time and went to the back of the Sparkle Salon where Yuka's station is. She greeted me and started prepping my nails. I showed her a design that I liked and gave her free reign with the colors of the dry flowers and charms. The whole process took about 1.5 hours for one base color and placement of the flowers and charms. She is a pleasure to talk to and I will definitely be back. She accepts Venmo! read more

I got a mani + pedi from Yuka today and she did an amazing job! I always get either buff & shine or just clean polish on my finger nails and then color on my toes. I usually keep it pretty simple but I can tell that Yuka does amazing art designs as well (she has an Instagram you can check out). She is by appointment only so you have to call/text or you can book online. Also you have the option of going to her or having her come to you at home! I will definitely book with her again read more

Yuka really takes her time to get your nails right. I absolutely love my nails and have gotten so many compliments on them. Also for the custom work, pricing is very reasonable. Just make sure to give yourself ample time if you're looking for something more intricate. She's located at the bank of hair salon and while her chair is comfy, I still found that my back didn't like it so much. My appointment was running long and she had another person waiting. I offered to come back so that the other person wouldn't have to wait so long. She was willing to finish my nails later that night. Definitely glad to have another place to go to when I need my fix of cute Japanese nail art. Another plus if that she accepts Venmo! read more

I had a manicure and pedicure appointment with Marie and love my final results. Yuka's studio is located in salon republic where you can also get other services like massages done. When I arrived, Marie was finishing up with another client but came out to greet me and give color options. There are so many color options-pastel, cat eye, shimmer and glitter among others. I opted for cat eye because of the holographic effect. This is the ideal place to get cute, elegant, or whatever your style is nail art done. On the walls are many examples of beautiful nail art because you can also buy sets of pre-made nails as well as nail art tools here. If you know what kind of design you like, come prepared with reference pictures. Marie was excellent in giving design and color recommendations. I wanted a cloud manicure but not sure what colors just that I wanted a different color on each nail and some nail art done on my big toes. The entire experience although quite long yielded beautiful results and I'm really glad I found this place on Instagram. I don't often get my nails done because I'm afraid it will hurt but Marie was very gentle with cleaning up nails using her dremels and buffing pads. Pricing is clearly posted and there were some promotions for frequent clients and if you refer others when I came. I'll definitely be back. read more

BEAUTIES BEWARE! If there was an option for no stars or negative, I would've opted for it here. Yuka is a scam artist and not an honest nail technician. She baits and switches the pricing and will charge you well over $250 for a simple gel mani-pedi. I booked over text with an image of what I wanted. She texted back with the price. After the service was complete, she had doubled the price! ABSOLUTELY ABSURD! I spent my twenties working in nail salons from some of the top spas in Silicon Valley. There are expectations for the level of service for the rates that she is charging. This is not a spa experience by any measure. She provided mediocre service. My foot was literally in a plastic bucket, such a rip off. I was very uncomfortable throughout the entire service. I don't typically review vendors, but this is a special case of outright fraud. Actually, this simple negative review is not truly sufficient to highlight how scandalous Yuka is. How she conducts her business is criminal. When asked for an explanation of charges, she could not provide a simple receipt. When she finally did produce one 4 hours later, the full amount was not reflected. Miraculously, she failed to include the cash payment of over $100 and the Zelle payment required to secure the appointment. I have never had such a horrid experience with any vendor in my life be it beauty or otherwise. My recommendation is to spend your money with a professional that has earned your business, it will save you a headache, heartache, frustration and a boat load of money. For $260, I could have treated a gal pal to join me for a full-service mani-pedi at Burke Williams and enjoyed the afternoon in a hot tub. That's for the both of us! read more

Yuka is THE BEST! She is super friendly, so talented and just so good! While it's definitely on the pricier side, you definitely get what you pay for. The work lasts for a whole month and the one of the reasons I make sure to go back each month is because my nails are too long for me to handle. No chipping too, which is more than can be said for 90% of other nail salons. The other reason is because Yuka is such a pleasant person to be around and I always come out of my appointment feeling super happy and satisfied with everything. Overall, if you want nice, strong nails that'll last forever and then some and a pleasant conversation with a super nice person, go to Yuka! She also has an Instagram page with photos of all her previous work. Trust me when I say, you'll be impressed! read more

Overall great experience and cute nails! I would go again when I feel like treating myself. I made an appointment on their website a week ahead for omakase gel nails. I chose this one because I didn't know what kind of designs I wanted. Yuka contacted through text about what I wanted such as color, theme and design. I only requested a few colors but I really liked the design that I ended up getting. On the day of the appointment, I contacted Yuka when I was there so I can get in. Marie was the one who greeted me, designed and did my nails. The studio is pretty small, probably fits about 4 people at most. There was a tablet playing a thing show which was pretty nice to keep myself entertained during the appointment. Marie was very attentive and made sure that my nails looked nice in the end. Marie asked me if I was going to an event as I was getting these nails done and I said nope just for fun. Marie will give it her all and give you fantastic nails that are worth having for an event! My friends have been giving many compliments for my nails. Nail Design by Yuka gave me a wonderful experience when it came to communication and quality for my nails. I would recommend this place for Japanese Gel nails. read more

Only come here if you want NAIL ART. And if you want to pay more than $500 for gel nail and mani. Do not come here to be charge more than $200 for a mediocre pedicure with gel and some cat eye glitters. They do not have actual pedicure chairs. You will be sitting on a small computer chair. Space is very limited, therefore the furnitures are dorm-like, small functional BUT very uncomfortable. For a such a luxurious price, it is NOT a luxurious experience. Pedicure feet are soak in a manually filled bucket and the water was cold. Also, it is a very very terrible idea to get your nails and feet done at the same time because your shoulders will be facing forward for your manicurist and your hip/two legs will need to turn left or right completely to face the pedicurist. You will strain or sprain your lower back or probably dislocate your hip! read more

Very bad experience with the owner. Would rate 0 stars if possible! Like other reviews have said, this salon is very money hungry and shady. I went to go get my gel nails removed, and booked the appointment online. The online menu led me to believe that the removal would cost $15 dollars (though after carefully looking at the menu and interpreting the broken and grammatically incorrect English, I realized it would be $45). I received confirmation emails, none of which had any pricing information but did have the service requested: "only gel remove - no new set" (which online is $45). When I went to the salon, the conversation with her wasn't too pleasant as she was bashing other salons in the area. When it came time to pay, the register rang up at $60!! She didn't explain the charges and seemed rushed and annoyed since another customer was waiting (p.s. be aware this salon does charge a credit card fee). She made me feel pressured to not ask any questions and to hurry up and pay. After returning home, I decided to call the salon because a $15 discrepancy is pretty significant. Her attitude over the phone was bad, and she claimed that she had told me that "cutting and filing" cost an $15 and that's where it got added on to the $45 price . I was asked during the appointment if I wanted my nails cut after the removal, but there was no mention from her that it would be an extra charge, nor does it say anywhere on her online site that that is a provided service associated with a charge (and she lists multiple extra charges so I find it hard that that was an omission). Additionally, she claimed that it was posted on a menu with prices, however I never saw the menu nor was I shown one before I could make a decision. Overall during the phone call, she was rude and seemed completely content with her business practices. What happened happened, and it can't be helped, but it seems shady that she would just arbitrarily add charges without being upfront and transparent about the cost (and it seems like reading other reviews that other customers have had similar experiences too). What I found more disappointing than the charges though, was her attitude and tone when dealing with this ordeal. Future customers, tread lightly and beware. Best be very clear and ask about charges before agreeing to anything at this salon. Very unfortunate and disappointing experience. Edit: Turns out she cut and filed my nails way too short. She was in rush while she was cutting my nails. It's bleeding and applying any pressure on it causes a lot of pain. Really not a great experience at all. Highly do not recommend. Also I posted the same review on Google but it got deleted on the next day. Seems like the other one star review wrote by someone other about a couple of week ago also got deleted. read more

Yuka was absolutely incredible! I've been scarred by other nail salons attempting to do really simple nail art and failing miserably, but Yuka restored all my hopes & dreams. She was super easy to communicate with leading up to the appointment and transparent with her quotes. It's definitely a splurge, so be ready for that, but the end result is worth it. She's very detail-oriented and fully recreated what I was hoping for. Thank you, Yuka! It's definitely one less thing to stress about prior to my honeymoon :) read more

From my experience, I think that the business practices and professionalism could be much better. I never visited the salon myself, so I'm not speaking on behalf of their nail work. This review is for an experience in mid-October, so I am recalling as best as I can. I scheduled a nail art lesson, which was going to be about $100 (which is fine)! There was a $50 deposit, and in the end I had to cancel because I had something come up on that date. I definitely cancelled more than 24 hours in advance. I asked about the deposit when I cancelled, then was left on read for a while. I had to message again to ask about the deposit, and was told I wouldn't be able to get it back. The deposit was not clearly stated that it was non-refundable, and there was also no policy or cancellation window mentioned during the booking process. I can't even find their policies anywhere. I just think it is very important to be transparent as a business, especially to avoid possible legal matters. My biggest issue is, usually non-refundable deposits are associated with the lost of potential business or materials used to prepare for an appointment. In this case, I don't think 50% of the cost of the lesson was fair, especially since they didn't really have to prepare or buy anything, and I definitely cancelled far enough in advance for them to easily find someone to fill that slot (assuming that someone would've wanted that time/date in the first place). It was a lesson for "ice cube nails" which would definitely be less than a few hours, and they already had all the materials for it. So in the end, I'm sure the ladies are lovely and sweet, but I think that the deposit system or what I experienced was particularly unfair. Cancelling in advance, I'd expect my $50 back especially when it costed them practically nothing. Next time, at least inform clients of your deposit policies. I still would like that hard-earned $50 haha! read more

I went to Yuka to get my nails done for my wedding after a recommendation from my friend. I couldn't be happier with the results!!! I sent her some pictures over Messenger beforehand and then we discussed more in person. She was flexible with scheduling. Yuka was super accommodating and patient when I decided halfway through I wanted a different base colour. I also got a pedicure + callous scrub. She lets you bring your own nail polish for regular pedi! Super convenient. It was also great that she has an iPad and so you can watch Netflix while you get your nails done My nail chipped a few days before but she was able to add an extension and it looked perfect. It takes a while to finish everything, but so worth it I had a great experience!! I would definitely recommend. read more

Wow! What a great experience here. Yuka has a keen eye for detail and very precise with her work. I highly appreciated that she took the time to make sure everything was perfect with my nails. She was very friendly and easy to talk to. I can't wait to come back! Especially since it's such a beautiful work of art :) read more

Perfectionist! Came here to get nails done for my birthday and could not have been happier with them! Yuka is a perfectionist and super gentle with your hands I got gel extensions with nail art. I brought in a photo from IG I wanted to replicate and she had no problem doing so! She has sooo many art pieces to choose from and will suggest changes that look 10 times better! My nails lasted much longer than acrylics and didn't make my nails feel damaged after they came off! I would love to come again for another special occasion. Thank you Yuka for my beautiful nails read more

Absolutely in love with my nails! It was my first time going to Yuka's nail salon, and I have nothing but great things to say about the service. All of the staff members were extremely friendly and kind, and they had amazing attention to detail with the nail art. I showed them a photo of a design I wanted and they did exactly as the photo showed. I'm not exaggerating when I say this is the best my nails have ever looked. I will definitely be coming back in the future. ありがとうございました！ read more

Very satisfied with the cat eye nails design, Yuka was patient with me when I selected the color/design and I was able to find the color I wanted and it turned out perfectly! Definitely coming back for new nails:) tips: her workplace is inside the Salon Republic next to the Ulta store. I was lost I couldn't find the way, good thing Yuka was helping me finding the way. read more
