    This was both my first visit to Nailvana, as well as getting a full set of nails. My experience was what I needed, the service and care was amazing; my wheelchair was handled with ease, and I was able to navigate the space without feeling like a burden. Though I've never had nails, my mother was a nail tech, so I did have some expectations of quality and service. Michael Nguyen, and all the staff were professional and competent. My niece had a pedicure leaving her feeling pampered with her cute pink toenails. I'm looking forward to getting my first fill!

    The stunning art that was created has made me so happy.

    I have to come back and update my review. It is almost 2 weeks since my drop in appointment. Holy Hell they are beautiful and eye catching. I haven't had my hands held this much in forever! I'm sitting in the sun on a December in California and this is what I see.

    Loving my nails!

    As always this team here does an amazing job. I enjoy working a design out and then normally Michael will tie it together for me. Nancy was sooooo good too! I hope she enjoyed this set as much as I did. A simple Xmas design. Cateye red #15 with gold accents.

    I left crying out of this place because of the negligence and impoliteness that Michael showed. They got upset because I was a walk in (I offered to wait until they were free). 1. He rushed me to sit down, 2. I asked for manicure and dip powder and he went on and did full on acrylic and totally skipped the manicure 3. I asked for a specific French tip and he got upset that I was asking for "less color" 4. During the whole time he did my nails he kept using a super hot and rough drill on my nails. My nails are STILL sore, you can see the drill markings on my nails and also bubbles. The gel started lifting off already. If you go here be careful and speak up. That drill was not changed not once! He was so rough and it was on high speed it burned but I was already uncomfortable enough so I was afraid to say anything.

    Review Title: Extremely Disappointed & Hurt - Unprofessional Experience I was really looking forward to trying this place out and even drove 30 minutes to get there, but I left extremely upset and in pain. When I arrived, I asked for a gel manicure, which I had clearly stated over the phone beforehand. Instead of confirming my service, they immediately began doing a new set of acrylics without asking me--which felt very misleading, as if they just wanted to charge more. I was passed between three different technicians during my visit. The second was Michael, who I believe is the owner. He was extremely unprofessional and visibly frustrated. Before even starting on my nails, he was distracted and texting -- it seemed like he was dealing with another upset customer. When I told him I didn't want acrylics, he said "OK" -- but then proceeded to aggressively rip off my old set, causing me significant pain. I politely asked if he could soak them off with acetone (like every other salon I've been to does), but he refused and claimed that method was only used for dip powder. His tone was hostile, he sighed loudly, and was clearly annoyed -- making the entire experience stressful and uncomfortable. Eventually, I had to ask to stop the service and leave. I was then passed to a third technician, who was thankfully kind and removed the acrylics the proper way -- by soaking them gently in acetone. Additionally, I didn't see them sanitize their equipment, which raises serious hygiene concerns. Michael's behavior was completely unacceptable, and no customer should be treated this way -- especially when they're trying to communicate respectfully. If he didn't want to do the service, he could have simply said so instead of hurting me and acting so angry. I will never return and do not recommend this salon to anyone. I cried so much because of the disrespect I've received from Michael. Please see all the different reviews, he has caused a lot of people to cry due to his attitude. I left respectfully & paid $15 towards the cleaning of my nails & Also tipped $10 even though i was treated so unfair.

    I went in today to get my nails done for prom. Tina helped me and she did a wonderful job, she took her time to make sure the shaping and french tip was clean and as smooth as can be. I appreciate the amount of time and detail she put to doing my nails, she stayed an hour past closing to make sure they were completed tonight, doing an amazing job. Another employee did the acrylic flowers on my pointer and ring finger, she did a wonderful job making them as close as could be to the inspiration picture given.

    Loved my experience there! It felt homey and the staff was so welcoming and kind. The prices are super reasonable for what I got, which was one of the deluxe pedicures. The men that work there really know what they're doing! And the free wine was the cherry on top! I want to go back, but it's only been a week since I was last there.

    Great customer service and most importantly, the best manicure/pedicure ever! I show them any photo and they can recreate. They listen to your preferences.

    I've been waiting for another local nail spot, and this one hits the mark! Michael has done my nails twice, and I'm super picky, and he has always left me with nothing to pick about. Love how he does my nails. The last time I went, I had a pedicure by Rose and she was very attentive. I have an issue with my big toe nails sometimes growing in and she handled them gently and expertly. Highly recommend.

    Getting my Eyebrows done! Ask for Michael or Nancy for Brows!

A tech came out to start the manicure then when the other tech was available she headed over to the 2nd woman who came in after us. I had been sitting for nearly 10 min by this point. My BF's tech noticed what I was witnesses and said something. After that one of them reluctantly came over to take care of me. It was a strange vibe and a bit irritating b/c I actually made an appointment and had already been waiting. So that is why I am taking a star away. Aside from that, the quality of the manicure/pedicures was excellent. I opted for a gel pedicure which came out perfect and my BF had a wonderful experience. The woman who took care of him was great.
