I love this place. I cannot rave about it enough. Every few weeks I have a ritual of coming out here and getting my eyebrows waxed and my mani and pedi Linda is the friendly and beautiful owner who waxes my eyebrows. She always shapes them just perfectly! Hannah is definitely the best nail technician in the bay. I ONLY go to her for the past 2 years. She sometimes goes on long 3 months trips to Vietnam and I am left alone with waiting for her to come back. She always knows exactly what to do with my nails. She is the sweetest person ever and does simply the BEST job. I will keep coming back. read more

Came here last minute because I had a free hour in my morning schedule. I usually do my gel nails myself but I decided to come here to relax a little. I am always very skeptical about new places I am very picky when it comes to my nails. I didn't have an appointment but they took me right away only had to wait ten minutes or so. Lisa helped me and she did an amazing job. She really took her time to make sure each nail was perfect. I was reminded why it's no nice to have someone else do your nails who knows what they are doing. I will definitely come back and see Lisa in a few weeks. read more

Nails L'amour - Thanks Lisa!!!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Milpitas, California

Can I give no stars?! Linda - the salon owner is very irresponsible. Don't let her work on your face. She has just burned my eyebrows - Eventhough I told her I was using retin-A, instead of tweezing - as agreed, she decided by herself to wax them! Don't have to say the she burned the area between my eyebrows and eyes, which are very red and painful. And, believe it or not, she was ready to continue!!!!!!! I am considering how serious I want to go about this with her. To be fair, Tina who has done mani/pedi for me is great. Efficient and caring. read more

I was already a little but wary about going in to this place based on my previous experience that ended with my brows looking and feeling like they'd been hit by a truck. This experience was the same but in a different way. To say their customer service is lacking would be a gross understatement. This time, on desperation alone, I went to have one, single nail repaired. That's it. I waited easily 20 minutes while three ladies chatted and ate while there were two stations obviously not in use. They came to check out the damage multiple times but did nothing about it. When I was finally seen, the tech was pushing and pulling my hand out of the machine. A couple of times, it felt like she might have pulled my wrist out of socket if she pulled any harder. Very passive aggressive. Too bad this place is basically within walking distance from my house. read more

I have been going to get my nails done by Linda for a few years now. She's amazing. She does nails, eyebrow waxing, and she even applies false lashes for you! :) I'm always satisfied with my nails and if I'm not, she doesn't have a problem with making adjustments. Tina is also a really good nail technician. She usually does my mom's nails and my mom is always satisfied and happy with her nails. I plan to keep going here as long as I live in Milpitas. They're nice and we usually never have to wait too long to get serviced. I definitely recommend this place for nail services! read more

This is my first time at Nails L'amour. So the pedi was only $14.00, can't really expect much for this price. The blucket was a little weird but it served it's purpose. The place is really small, with office chairs lined-up against the wall. I think the lady did a good job cleaning my feet. I wish there were more space to move around. I didn't even have a place to put my purse down. This is a quick and go place. How come i wasn't offer the $5.00 massage? I wish they use the O.P.I Drip Dry solution. When i got out of my car, i hit the brake too close and it messed up my big toe polish, i have to re-do my toenail myself. This happens after 30 minutes after the ped. =( Overall, i think this place is affordable and OK. read more

$23 bucks for a manicure and pedicure! I only go to one nail tech and that's Tammy! She does an amazing job and she's fun to talk too :) If she's not there, I don't bother getting my nails done because she's the best! Don't come here expecting amazing service/ spa chairs..nothing fancy schmancy here. I've had good/bad new techs, in the end i just learned to always stick to Tammy and I'm never disappointed! read more

I went to them because of your wonderful reviews YELP..and how you surprised me...(& not in a good way) Background: The store front looks big, but wait till you see what's inside. 5 nail stations. No pedicure station, just some black patio/office chair with ladies sitting cross from you - doing your toes. The bathroom sink is where they fill your pedicure "tub" - a plastic container that looks like it was bought from Chinatown. But $9 for mani and $14 for pedi - gotta give them a chance, cause that is dirty cheap. 1st time - open their glass door and thinking, "Is this a joke? this place looks like a individually run Beauty College" I thought the chairs along the way was some "waiting area" until they start rolling the "pedicure station" to me, then I realized, this is my permanent seat for the next hour. I picked a nude-nectar color from their non-reputable brand of polish collection. Then my feet was soaked in a green portable plastic box with warm water. Mind you; they didn't use a plastic bag as a barrier between the water and the container - for sanitary purpose that made me uncomfortable. I soaked as I watched "E! True Hollywood story" on their flat screen. They DO do a pretty good job of cleaning your feet & dead skin cells. So I thought "Fine, I'll put up with the non-massage operated chair that I normally get from other places - which doesn't lean back, so I can't read a magazine, cause it will slide down my thigh into the water." End result: my toes were cute and clean. Except I asked for round shape but the girl gave me this flat-big looking square shape & my butt was numb from sitting on the uncomfortable non-cushioned chair. Followup: The colors started peeling 4 days after. So by the 7th day, my colors were 70% peeled off. (I've been getting pedicures for as long as I can remember and they normally last you 2-3 weeks) 2nd visit - $14 pedicure - can't beat that, I'll just bring my own high quality Essie color & OPI top coat, to prevent the massive peeling from my 1st bad experience. This time, I got Hannah - tanned Vietnamese lady/girl. Hannah's good. Takes her time, did an excellent job at cutting the dead skin cells around my toes. She actually try to have a conversation with me, unlike Lady #1 (inexperience looking young girl). End result; my butt was numbed again, but I had the cute U-shaped toes that I asked for. Well more tips for you Hannah. Followup: the color lasted for 5 weeks. 3rd try (2 days later) - Hannah's pedicure gave me faith in them again, so let's try the cheap $9 mani - again with my own colors - to ensure lasting results. (BIG Mistake!! - should've just left when Hannah was working on some other lady) I was told to sit down at the mani station, some lady came to work on me, then left, then another older lady came, and lotion my hand, then left, then came back like 15mins llater - the whole time, no conversation or greeting exchanged. Through out the process: she made 2 of my fingers bleed by snipping too deep & too fast. (And she said I had too many "cuticles" that I should have manicures more often - yeah, not by you woman!) Painted my pink OPI nails HELLA fast and missed hella corners - I had to point 4 fingers out of the 10, to have her redo it. She slapped on the top coat quickly (Forgot to bring my own top coat - damn!) and left me by the mini fan w/o a word to conclude our session & went to eat her dinner. Conclusion: no manicure here - EVER! and only Hannah can do my toes. Why 2 positive stars? 1) $14 pedicure. 2) Hardworking professionals like Hannah! Why 3 negative stars? 1) Cheap nail color collection & top coat. And they don't apply base coat. 2) Mix of good and bad customer service. Sometimes they treat you like a customer. Sometime they treat you as you're their "practice" for their next gig. 3) Crappy chairs. read more

I've been going here off and on for the past 15 years-since high school. Linda, the owner is always friendly and always remembers me no matter how long it's been since I've gone to her salon. She's a hustler, always trying to talk you into getting something you didn't go there for and I've seen some customers who don't know her well be really put off by that. I've had her wax my eye brows a few times and they always come out too thin and the wax is always too hot. I like going to the Benefit counter in Macy's at Valley Fair much better for my brows now-they touch up your make up there too. This place isn't the nicest or cleanest, and they don't have those massage/pedi spa chairs. It's usually loud in there too, all the nail girls are always talking in Vietnamese to each other and sometimes it seems like they're talking about the customers. Sometime I wonder why I even come here still. I think it has something to do with it being familiar, so close to home, and so cheap. She charges like $15.00 (cheapest in town) for a pedicure, which is quick and only consists of the bare minimum, which is good for popping in real quick on your lunch break if you work close by like I do. One of the girls in the salon always offers me a 15 minute shoulder rub for 5 bucks and does those cute little flower designs few a few bucks more. When I come in during the weekend I bring my 7 year old daughter with me and the girls paint her nails and do flower designs for her for 5 bucks-she loves it and they're totally sweet to her. I used to get the gel nails with white tips here, but after less than a week the edges around the cuticle and sides would lift, leaving discolored areas so I gave up on them. I'm not sure if it's my nails or what they use on them. Also, they don't have OPI polishes and I see a bunch of random brands that are lower quality. Their manicures don't last on my nails beyond a day or two before I start getting chips. If I want a good manicure and color that lasts, I go to Nancy at the Nail Nook-their manicures always last me two weeks before they start to chip-worth the slightly higher prices there. Bottom-line, Linda is a sweetheart, has been at that spot for years, has very affordable prices, is always open when I need to pop in unannounced, and never makes me wait.... I think that's why I keep coming back to her, despite everything else I've said here =) read more

Don't go here! They are rude, talk crap about you (I'm Vietnamese but I don't look Viet so they talked shit about me right in front of my face!), and slow service. I was ignored for a while when walking in and had to stand there awkwardly waiting for them to acknowledge me. All I wanted to do was remove my acrylic nails (not done at this location, thank goodness) and it took forever even though the place was empty! Won't be coming back ever and I already warned all my friends to stay away. You can find way better places -- GO TO MAGGIES ON MAIN STREET! read more

So this review is solely based upon the lady that drew the flowers on my toe nails. There were two ladies...the one thats all bubbly and makes sure everything is good and the other one that acts happy but talks bad about their customers. First off my friend and I called in to ask how much a pedicure was and they quoted us $14 which included paint and a design on two toes. That being said we were still hesitant but we still came in and we also invited two friends to get a pedicure too (four people total).The owner of the store even asked her employees how much they were charging us (in vietnamese of course) and the person on the phone told her $14 (plus 1 star). We were deciding on what color to get and notice that they have some random brand of colors and no OPI, China glazed, etc (minus 1 star) but we finally decided on the colors and were satisfied with our selection (plus 1 star). Everything was fine and we sat down to get our feet soaked in this bucket of water. Mine was warm HOWEVER my friend (Jessica)'s water was extremely HOT (minus 1 star). The other lady who was massaging another customer took notice and told someone to pour cold water in to even it out (plus one star). The lady that I had was an older looking lady with glasses and my friend had the bubbly lady that also knew how to draw designs, and my other friends had two other ladies that were nice- they all did a thorough job cleaning, removing our nail polish, and painting our nails. BUT after that my friends were done and the bubbly lady had to leave so sudden- I was left waiting for the lady to draw flowers for me (she thought we weren't vietnamese so she said "they can wait"...at first I just thought okay whatever, another customer came in..maybe she's waiting for my nails to dry). however, once it completely dried she told me she couldnt do the flower and to choose something else since the paint dried (WELL EXCUSE ME...i think its your fault that you took so long). She pointed at the most ugliest design and told me to do that and I told her no i wanted that flower. She painted my toe nails and did three colors (which i did not ask for) but the way she drew it was really nice and i smiled and she asked me if i like it and i said yes. so i was going to give this place 3-4 stars because everything was good except for the wait. I was thinking of coming back later on in the future and support the asian nail salon until she told me that mine ended up costing $17 while the rest of my friends were $14. and everyone else said "that would look bad if you're charging the rest of them $14 and her only $17" when you quoted them all $14 and she said she doesn't care because another lady drew flowers on my friends but she drew flowers on me therefore she gets to determine how much I should pay her, and because i didn't want the other design (well excuse me my friend got the same design as me for $14 as well), and that she had to leave another customer just to draw the design for me....uhm...first of all....if you wanted to KEEP your customers and have them be your long-term customers you should charge me what YOU QUOTED me on the phone; second of all, my friends and i came in before that one gentleman did, therefore, shouldn't we get first priority esp. if we're only getting our pedicures done and was close to completing the process whereas the guy was just getting his feet soaked in water? At least come to me and explain the situation instead of talking shit in vietnamese...The lady that painted my nails blue and cleaned it did a fabulous job though and i tipped her (i included the tip that was suppose to be for the lady that drew the design), however the person that drew flowers on for me (did three colors that i did not ask for, made me wait for 30 minutes, and charged me extra) i decided that with an attitude like that...she doesn't deserve my tip (she jacked $3 extra bucks from me anyways). the price for a mani and a pedi is $23...i paid almost $20 to get only a pedicure when they quoted me $14. for three bucks more i could have gotten myself a manicure as well...i do not understand the logic that was going through her mind. and the owner was hidden somewhere in the back. IF THAT WASN'T BAD ENOUGH, they all started talking in vietnamese saying "see now they're not going to tip any of us, they're not going to tip any of us". OMFG first of all I DID TIP the lady that gave me a perfect pedicure; second my friend's lady went home and she was not going to give the snobby lady another person's cut of the tip, and my other friends only got their feet soaked in water with cuticle oil. (subtract all the stars left) and didn't tip them due to that lady's unprofessionalism. The store needs to realize that one person is bringing the whole store down; the $17 was okay with me but her talking crap in vietnamese is the reason for this one star. I wanted to like this place despite their lack of updated technologies and paint brands/colors. read more

I always come here 'cause it's pretty convenient for me since I just live a few blocks away. And the price for the service is pretty reasonable. I usually am happy with their work. The only thing that I don't like about this place is that the ladies talk too much and loud, I mean, there's nothing wrong with it but it's always in Vietnamese. You never know if they're talking smack about you (which is possible). read more

Worst. Pedicure. Of. My. Life. I never write reviews, but I need to for this place. Avoid at all costs. Low budget raggedy place. They soak your feet in a cheap plastic bowl. I got the worst paint job I've ever gotten in my life. It looks like when you paint 3 layers of nail polish and your toe nails have been growing out for a month and you have to go somewhere urgent so you threw on another layer of polish over your old junk and it looks uneven, thick, and bad. Paid $14 before tip for this awful pedi. Look at the pics I posted (mint green toe nails). read more

So I got a pedicure 2 1/2 weeks ago, and now my big toe is infected!!! It hurt when she was digging at it but I figured she knew what she was doing, but she obviously didn't! Now there is puss coming out of the side of my right toe and I have to go to the dr., even though I have no insurance! Any $$ u may save due to their cheap prices u will have to put towards a dr. appt. I guess you really do get what you pay for. I hope no one else has to go through this because it is disgusting! Hope this helps someone! read more

I've had my nails done 6 times here in the past 3 months or so. The Salon itself is pretty ghetto. Looks dingy from the outside and the same goes for the inside. Looks can be deceiving because it looks huge from the outside- but in reality, it's the size of the average household kitchen! I guess it doesn't matter, since there are no spa chairs. There are just rolling "computer" chairs against the walls for peeps to do their pedicures. I've only done the gel sets here- so I am not sure how the pedi's are. I love the designs! They have everything from pink and white- to any color imaginable w/ gorgeous glitter if you desire! The gel set me back 25 dollars + tip, but it was well worth it. I walk out with my fingers looking like a million bucks every time! Okay- now to the cons of this place. - There is only 1 or 2 nail techs that do the gel sets. For a small place, their always busy, so you have to wait, even if you've made an appointment. - OMG do these ladies talk shit! If you've watched Anjelah Johnson's imitation of a "nail salon" you know what I am talking about. LOL Overall- would I come here again? YES. The price/nails are well worth it regardless of the cons listed above =) read more

They're ok here. It's not that great, but better than the other places in Milpitas. The fake nails look hookerish though. I took my friend here for her birthday, and they gave her a free nail design. I'm vietnamese so I can communicate with them easily, however my other friends have told me that cannot understand the women at all. read more

This place is meh for sure. It seemed like any other nail place around the corner. I went with a friend to get her eyebrow's tattooed and Linda was the one who helped us. She was very patient and explained the procedure thoroughly. We went to this location because it was a referral. My friend called the store and spoked with Linda in advance to ask how much the service would be. She was told it was $100 flat, but when we got there, she tried to charge us $180. Other than that little mishap, we were in and out of there within an hour, the service was great. read more

I've been coming to see Linda and her team for over ten years! Very friendly and fast service. Walk ins welcome but should call first because they are always busy. read more

This review is for Hannah..Tina and Lisa. They give the best pedicure and manicure shellac I have ever gotten. Cleans my cuticles and takes my ingrown nails out to the T!! and they take their time.This is not one of those fancy nail salon that has chair massages but they will give you a good neck and shoulder massage for $5/15mins. Color selections not too bad for my liking. Love this place! read more

Hannah, where have you been all my life!? I can't express how thrilled I am to have finally found my dream nail tech!!!! The ladies are very sweet and actually converse with their customers! That says a lot in my book!!! Anyways, search no more and give this salon a try! read more

I've been coming here for the past 5 years and always leaving satisfied. I came in with an unhappy set of nails from a different salon but Linda fixed them right up for me!! Come to nail Lamour for satisfying nails and wonderful customer service! read more

Love coming to this place. Not the fanciest but they do a great job for the price you pay.

Love this place because of the women who work here who deliver consistent quality pedicure and manicure! I've been going here for more than 3 years now for manicure (shellac) and pedicure. Everyone knows how to give a great pedicure at this place, but I especially go to Hannah or Tina for my shellac manicure. They do a great job with attention to detail! Every time I went to another salon (because sometimes they get so busy at L'amour and I need to get my nails done for an occasion), I regret it. Other places can't compare to the quality manicure/pedicure work they do at L'amour! And that is why I give them 5 stars. read more

This is an awesome nail shop that's been around for over 20 years. The fact that Nail's L'amour name is still hear after 20 years speaks for itself. Even though I live down south San Jose area, my wife & I have been driving up to Milpitas to get her nails done for the past 11 years. While waiting for my wife there, I usually get a pedicure for myself. I know I'm a dude, therefore, I shouldn't have any business in a nail shop. However, I've been taking my wife there for many years, I figured what the heck; mind as well try their pedicure since I noticed some men actually does it also. I was hooked after my first pedicure. They're massage along with the pedicure feels great! My wife usually goes a long with her friends (when I'm working) and her friends seem to like the place as well. I keep hearing them rave about how inexpensive this place is for the service that they provide. For those of you who's looking for a nice place to get your nails done, you should definitely try this location. read more

I went there to remove acrylics and get gel over top my natural nail, they're all very friendly and did my nails well for only $25

I've been coming here for over a decade now. Always ask for TINA. If she's not in the salon I always have Hannah or Lisa do my nails. They are the best. But you will not regret it with Tina. read more
