Absolutely amazing experience! All of the nail techs are incredible, professional, and pays such close attention to every detail. They take their time, makes sure everything is perfect. My nails always come out beautiful. The salon is clean, welcoming, and relaxing, and I always leave feeling pampered and happy. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about the quality of their work and making their clients feel special, I highly recommend Nailtones. I wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

Tried this place because it was close to home and had great reviews, but unfortunately my experience wasn't great. I came in for a basic pedicure and the technician didn't really follow my requests for trimming and shaping my toenails. She mostly just filed them, and now they look crooked and uneven. Paint job is a little horrendous. Communication was also difficult since she spoke very little English. The service felt rushed, and I was left waiting for my toes to dry without much guidance. Maybe they're better with manicures and nail art, but I'll probably go back to my usual salon for pedicures. read more

I am beyond thrilled to see Nailtones under the new ownership of Sam! I've been seeing Sam for years, and she is truly the best in the business - so sweet, incredibly careful, and a true perfectionist with her craft. The salon itself is impeccably clean and inviting. It has such a calm, professional atmosphere that makes every appointment feel like a treat. I also have to give a huge shout-out to Vivian, who does the most amazing pedicures. She is thorough and consistent every single time. I've attached a few photos of my recent sets to show the quality of their work. If you're looking for a salon that balances technical skill with a warm, welcoming environment, this is it! read more

Absolutely love my nails. Went in for a full set of GelX nails and a pedicure. Everyone is always nice. I original picked a color that was more neutral white and my nail tech recommended my color which was perfect. Service was great. Good vibe and clean establishment. read more

Nailtones - Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

My previous nail tech moved to a salon that's too far for me and referred me to Sam at Nailtones instead. I've been seeing Sam for the past few months and every time I leave completely satisfied. When I was in between nail techs, I went to a different establishment where they told me that my nails weren't suitable for builder gel and I was 100% going to settle on doing an acrylic overlay. However, Sam told me that it was possible, it however does take a bit more time. I've gotten builder gel every time and the retention is crazy! I only come once a month once my nails are too long for me to handle. Sam is meticulous at her craft and incredibly sweet. She helped me achieve the Japan trip nails of my dreams! 10/10 would recommend. read more

Nailtones staff was friendly and the building inside was updated and clean inside. However, after everything was done, I was a little sticker shocked. I had gel nail refill and 1 nail was a fake because it had broken and fell off. I ended up paying close to $70 before tip. Maybe I'm old but I don't remember it costing that much. There was nothing fancy about it. Just one regular solid gel color and a new nail. To their credit, the fake nail fell off two days later and I called right away and they fixed it for free. Something I liked also was they use liners for their pedicures, which should be standard practice but I don't always see it in other places. In the end, it's my fault for not asking for the price ahead of time, not theres. I'd stop by if that part doesn't bother you. read more

If I could give 10 stars, I would -- Nail Tones is hands down the BEST nail salon experience I have ever had. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warmth, professionalism, and an atmosphere that feels clean, elevated, and relaxing. Now let's talk about Sam -- truly the BEST nail tech ever. Sam's attention to detail is unmatched. The shaping? Flawless. The designs? Next level. The durability? My nails last forever and still look fresh weeks later. Sam takes their time, listens to exactly what you want, and somehow makes it even better than you imagined. I constantly get compliments on my nails and proudly tell everyone where I go. There is simply no one better. And Vivian -- my go-to for pedicures -- is AMAZING. Her pedicures are perfection every single time. She's meticulous, gentle, and makes the entire experience feel like a luxury spa treatment. My feet always look and feel incredible after seeing her. Clean lines, perfect polish, and the most relaxing service. The salon itself is spotless, organized, and clearly committed to high standards. You can tell they care about quality and customer experience. If you're looking for a salon that consistently delivers top-tier results, Nail Tones is it. I will never go anywhere else. Highly, highly recommend. read more

There was no one at the front desk so it took a long time before I was greeted and asked what services I need. The manicure was okay she used some various drill bits and tried to be gentle but did hit the sides of my nails twice which was a bit painful, but the price was not transparent and not worth imho for what I had done. Usually for manicure services would include removal with service but ended up having to pay more for a basic manicure with no polish and removal as an extra add on? which is typically included in other salons. I ended up asking for clear polish in the end as my basic manicure wo had ended up being more pricier than expected.. the aesthetics of the salon itself seem pretty clean and bright, and there were a few ladies getting pedicures. not sure if I just came in at the wrong time or if the pricing model is just different here.. read more

I went here a couple of times but this last time was the worst. The person doing my pedicure was rude and gave so much attitude. She was mocking the things I said so I would recommend to never come here. read more

Absolutely loved my nails! Went in to get my two broken nails fix but decided to get a brand new full-set of GelX because why not ! My nail tech Sam (manager) was wonderful. She was gentle, took her time on making sure I'm happy with the shape, length and color. Did not felt rush at all. She also gave me a discount. Thank you Sam for the amazing work! If you're looking for a great nail tech I recommend Sam and Elena. They are my two best nail techs! Not to mentioned the staff there are friendly and great atmosphere. read more

Updated Review. After seeing my previous review about my disappointment at the quality of my mani pedi, the manager, Sam reached out and offered to redo the polish and designs at no cost. She and Elena did a wonderful job! I am very happy with the result. If you want designs and not stickers, definitely book with Sam or Elena. read more

his was my fourth time at this place, but I had the worst experience; my nails were painted terribly. I'm including a photo and video so you can judge for yourself. On previous visits, the work was excellent, but I left very disappointed this time--especially since I was really counting on a great result for a very special and important event. read more

Nailtones - My nails were painted terribly. I'm including a photo and video so you can judge for yourself - Nail Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

In an unassuming location right around the corner from home lives a nail salon that's outstanding. I have been getting my nails done for about 20 years and never have I had an acrylic at last more a couple weeks (max) at a time. That was until I met Sam. Although I have only been to the salon a few times, Sam's work is beyond impressive even when you're looking for simplicity...3 weeks and probably could have waited longer for the next fill. She is meticulous, pays attention to every detail and never makes you feel like she's trying to rush you out of the chair. The salon itself is very clean and inviting. Can't wait to keep coming back. read more

this nail salon has been taking care of me for the longest time and at this point they're stuck with me. they've been taking care of my nails through every phase. i'm super picky and particular with my nails so they have to be perfect and they always are. i get stopped all the time because of my nails and i always recommend them to everyone. if you've ever complimented my nails, this is where i go. sam especially!! the artistry is actually insane. i come in with random ideas all the time and somehow sam makes it look even better than what i imagined. it always comes out clean, sharp, detailed, and they actually last. you can tell sam really cares about the craft and not just rushing through appointments. the staff is amazing too! the entire team has been welcoming, professional, and so consistent with their work. the place is always busy (for a reason), so book online ahead of time. trust me, if sam has an opening, grab it. if not, any of the other staff will still give you an incredible set. i 100% recommend going to nailtones 100000/10 every single time. read more

Okay so apparently I reviewed the wrong nail salon because I didn't know it had switched owners/name but omg I am absolutely OBSESSED!!! I came here on New Year's Eve. I was a little nervous because I needed to get my nails done ASAP, but I've had a hard time finding a place that would be able to Match the ins pos I've brought in. I wanted to start the new year with beautiful nails! I called This place the same day just earlier in the day and Sam was able to squeeze me in at the end of the day. I showed up to my appointment and I was worried because when I walked in there was only one other employee their closing up. Sam then came out while she was cleaning and immediately ask me if I had called & made an appointment with her! I was so RELIEVED!! My appointment was at 6pm on a short day bc it was like I said NEW YEARS EVE!! I didn't know what to expect but as soon as she got started I knew she would be GREAT! She took her time with me. She made sure I was okay with the size and the shape of my nails. I was in between colors and she was so patient with me and did one nail first to make sure I liked the color before she continued. She was very detailed and didn't rush at all. I am so in love with my nails! I'm so glad I decided to come here!! SAM is my new favorite nail tech!! Definitely recommend her! Lily has also done my nails and she also did a great job. I got my pedicure done as well and every one was so careful, detail oriented and took their time. My new favorite place! read more

The ladies at nailtones are the best, everyone is so friendly and so talented. They pay attention to details and take their time with mani and pedi.
