I don't usually do pedicures, or spa stuff but my feet really, I mean really called for it after yet another jaunt abroad. The "all equipment is sterelized" sign on the window freaks me out just a little...I'd hate to think why it needs to be there...lawsuits from infected consumers?? And, is this something that is not automatic and needs to be advertised?? I took the plunge anyway...walked in and was immidately served. Massage chairs, spa basins with lights...it was just like the Angela Johnson skit...I didn't understand what they were saying to each other...maybe I didn't need to. The final result I was happy with...maybe it helped becasue of the "very much in need" before but my dancer/traveling feet are pretty again! The cuticle trimming didn't hurt and the mint stuff is a good tingle. The basics is what I reccomend. They helped the ladies next to me put on their shoes strategically...a nice perk I thought. One thing though...I saw someone leave and another come in next to me and I didn't see them do anything but hose down the basin...does that mean sterelized?? I'm likely to go back 6 months from now as I'm sure I didn't catch any fungi. read more

I hear a lot of negative things about the current work done by the new staff they have there... My former coworker got a staph infection underneath one of her nails after getting them done here for YEARS. Her nail had to be REMOVED. I am sure most people know that a lot of the the original staff moved. I go to Lynn, who used to work at neo nails but is now the manager at Hollywood Nails. Good job Lynn! read more

This is for Amy. I love the way she does nails! I have not had a chance to do this review sooner but Amy is now at Vivian's Nail bar - I went to get my nails done this weekend. Luckily I found her by reading Yelp reviews. I will follow her since she is amazing. So if you are looking for Amy you know where to find her. Other then that I have not been to anyone else at Neo Nails. read more

I don't like writing bad reviews, but I went here because of all the good reviews they had. I was very disappointed. The place did not seem clean to me. I brought my 10 year old step daughter with me for a mani/pedi. Her French mani was very sloppy. Both of our mani's chipped off the next day. For $85 (with tip), this was not what I expected. I normally go to Sakura nail bar in D.Town SJ. My mani's last a week! The extra drive is well worth it! read more

worst manicure of my life, I think she was the owner but did not know how to give a basic manicure. I'm a cosmotaligist so I know how it should be done . She cut my nails toooo short very uneven ,I could have done a better job if i bit them off. She was more worried obout the other emplyees and kept leaving the table and answering the phone ,gad no people skills. After I was done I went to longs to by a file to smooth and even them out. will not return read more

I REALLY REALLY REALLY wish I could remember the name of the girl who did my nails, but if you walk in she is the one who is stationed right by the massage chairs on your left. What a Bleep. I had actually gone to Neo Nails before (found thru Yelp) and had a good job done by another girl, but this time for the refill... it was VERY unpleasant. Worker-near-massage-chairs was very rude and did not want to talk to me at all. The last time I had been there, I didn't notice that the person made the curve for the French tip crooked and asked her if she could fix. She brushed off my question and told me she couldn't do it until the next time and was stayed silent the rest of the time. Also, when she messed up, I kindly asked her to fix it. And not even waiting for me to finish my sentence, she turns to one of the workers next to her and says something in Viet. This went on the whole time she did my refill. After she finished applying the gel to my nails, she turned on a busted lamp to dry my nails and it kept turning off on me before the time was up. Even though it kept doing it, she insisted on keeping me on it until another person finally told me to go to a different station. I sat down on Nicky's station and she pulled out a working lamp for me and was very nice. And just to let you know, I have never had an experience so bad that I did not want to leave a tip until now. Actually ... I felt like giving Nicky the tip even though she only helped me the last five minutes I was there. Not sure if I want to go back, but might go back just to give Nicky a try. read more

I've been going to Neo Nails for about 6 months, Christy was the one to go too, she's great, Will on Saturday I went there and found out she quits, because of her manager, I heard from the girl that was doing my nails, (if you want to call it it that...) Christy got in a argument with her Manager and Christy QUIT.. I was very upset to her about this. So I had another girl do my nails... big F#%&* mistake there. I will never go back to this place, there is no one there that knows how to do nails like Christy, If that Manager as any since in her head. She would have never let her go.. Just save your MONEY!!! And don't go there.. Christy, Where Are You!!! read more

my girl and i went here today we both got fills and pedicures...loved the pedicure! she was very good about making my toes look pretty i mean how much is there too say about a pedicure except i was satisfied!!! My fill on the other had was something else! first off ill say she didnt burn me, or hurt me in anyway which is always a plus because ive been hurt pretty bad! without getting to crazy with the review to some things up: my left thumb is slanted, i left with my gel still somewhat soft, my glitter tips look dull and foggy not shiny like what im use too, and she didnt buff the underside of my nail to thin it out like most if not ALL place do! and i think she over charged me!! $52.00 for a fill!!!! I repeat FIFTY TWO flippin dollars for a damn fill!!! mind you my nails are a decent length but if the sign says "FILL 25& UP" at what point does it double in price?! for that i shouldve just got a whole new set!!! Actually a new set may have been cheaper then she said to me $25 for my pedi... so to sum things up slanted nail, foggy, non-shiny, glitter tips, possible OVER charge, and cute toes... some how i doubt ill ever come back or recommend my girls to go here!!! thinking about it i may have the nerve to go back and ask for a refund!! im going on a trip on wednesday and wanted pretty nails now im stuck with what i think is a botched job!!!!! read more

can i give it zero stars?? The place was FILTHY!!! nail dust everywhere. She used an old DIRTY nail file and did a half hearted job filing my nails. After washing my hands I was handed a dirty towel to dry off, with nail dust all over that too. And after the lady was done with my french mani i developed BUBBLES all over my nails. Instead of taking it off and starting over, she just brushed some acetone over the clear part and then applied some more top coat over it. Needless to say that the mani did not turn out ok. It's not smooth and looks messy. again. I ask: can i give it zero stars?? read more

The week preceding my trip to Sint Maarten was horrendous. Work was really kicking my ass, and I really needed a vacation. Thank god I was heading off to the Caribbean. I had grand plans to go to my favorite nail salon, La Monique, prior to taking off for a much needed pedicure. But as the week drew to a close, and more crap started to fall on my head, I realized that the likelihood of me getting over to Mountain View was slim to none. I was desperate, and so I decided to see what my fellow yelpers had to say about Neo Nails, which is RIGHT around the corner from my pad. Lo and behold! My hair stylist and yelp friend Bobby U. goes to Neo and loves them. I decided to give them a shot. I called them at 2:20ish on Friday afternoon, and asked if they had any time for a pedicure. "When you want come in?" "Uh, I can be there in about 5 minutes if that works for you." "Ok!" I was tickled. I hopped on over, and was pleased to see a long row of pedicure chairs. Sure, it wasn't a glamorous place, but I liked the feel of it. I got a pedicure, with a leg scrub, french polish and a fun little nail design for $35. They take credit cards and have a line on the slip for a tip. Hallelujah! Overall, I was very happy with the service, and will most likely make this my regular pedicure place, unless I decide I want to make the trek over the Mt. View to go to La Monique's (the best place, EVER). They didn't do anything that I was unhappy with, and I left significantly more relaxed than when I came in. My polish did come off on some of my toes after a few days, but I am not sure if that is due to their polish, or due to the fact that I was hanging out in pools, the beach and in the ocean, not to mention ill-fitting flippers for snorkeling. The little design and the rhinestone thingys they put on my toes are still going strong, however. As long as you don't expect it to be a really high brow place, you will not be disappointed. read more

Everyone who works here does a great job. Everyone so welcoming and accommodating. Very nice people, only spot I come to do my nails and pedicure read more

This review is for Kimberly!!! She is such an artist!!!! Love her!!! She does such an amazing job...I work with a lot of customers and they always complement my nails...even 3. Weeks later lol...she's very nice and has a lot of experience...I swear once I didn't have time to get a fill because I was soon busy for a month!! I did not have one chip of paint missing!! I was shocked because I am a bartender, mom of twins Ect.. So I use my nails quite often :) read more

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

**Don't let the owner/manager lady do your nails. She will cut you up!** I came here twice. The first time I got a gel set which was OK. The lady didn't fill it all the way to the cuticles so by the end of one week, I had to get them filled (at a different and better location, Art Nails). They were also a little on the fat side and also started lifting and chipping by the end of the week. My 2nd time here, I came to get my gel set removed. I figured it would be a simple process so since this shop was close by, I went there again. The owner lady was the one who serviced me. She sold me on a manicure as well for a total of $15. Removal was a pain but I didn't complain. She managed to crack a few of my nails, not even saying sorry and told me that my nails were weak from having fake nails. After removing all the fake stuff she proceeded to doing my cuticles. Now here's where I got pretty frustrated. This part was even more painful but, I knew it would be since I've gotten manicures done before. But OMG, the lady ended up cutting my skin!! My fingers were BLEEDING! I regret not saying anything, I was just so shocked at the time, I didn't know what to do. =,( I think she put some iodine on it which stopped the bleeding after a few seconds but it stung like heck. She had me wash my hands afterward and that was painful too. When I came back to her station she said she was going to put stuff on my nails to make them stronger and then use clear polish. Ok whatever I thought, I wanted colored polish but I also really wanted to get out there ASAP. After painting it w/ one coat she told me I was ready to go. I'm said "really? it's dry?" So she said, ok a couple minutes... -_- I paid her her $15 and left. I will post pics. Oh, before I left she even tried to sell me a new gel set, saying that they will make my nails stronger. I'm really upset. Does this lady even have a manicure license? Also, she seemed pretty bossy to her workers who don't look very happy working there. read more

I wish there was a negative one for this place. It smells so bad like acrylics/polish you will gag once you walk in. The girl giving me a pedicure got upset when I wanted to move chairs to one that actually worked. sorry i didn't want to sit in the broken one?! My pedicure was 15 minutes long. The polish looks horrible, and oh, when I tried to leave she couldn't get up to help me, she was getting her nails done. I've been here 3 times, and everytime the experience is bad....enough is enough..never again.... read more

today was my first visit ever!! i guess the place got a whole fresh face! renovated. as so i hear from the regulars walking in.. the chairs are so relaxing. but they dont like you touching the remote! so dont! haha..they get irritated!! pedicure alone was the most relaxing pedi i've ever gotten in my whole life at a nail salon... the exfoliating beads were the best part!!!! the ladies were friendly.. my nails were 50 bux, pedi was 35.. tip was 10..i can say that my nails werent the best.. i asked "vivian" which was supposed to be reaallly good, to do one from the purple book i saw, the first page/bottom pic, but it looked totally different.. and they have pics you can choose from and than tell you afterwards they dont have the big stones.. false advertisment, but she was friendly. that's a plus.. i actually had to edit this review, cause after i posted it and game 3/5 stars, i rated down and gave them 2/5 cause not even a day after i received my french pedi, 3 toes chipped off!!!! what a rip of 35 dollars!!!!!! truly expensive and a waste of money, i think they bumped up the price cause they remodeled the place. my nails were bulky, and i hate bulky!!! read more

I had Nikki do my nails and i am an extremely picky customer. I let her do a freehand design of whatever she wanted since i didnt bring any pictures with me. She did a super clean, neat job. I got a french tip with white powder and purple glitter powder and a flower with a stone. they are sooo Pretty. I cant wati to bring her in a picture and see what else she can do... read more

Deluxe pedicures here are the bomb. Massaging chairs with foot spas. Afterwards it's like my feet are floating on clean minty clouds. Cindy is my girl! I'm hooked. read more

I've been a customer of Neo nails since 2007 and each time I've gone it has been nothing but a pleasant experience. I highly recommend Bebe she really knows what she's doing when it comes to your nails and pedicure. To sum it up I am a very happy customer. I recommend paying with cash because their credit card terminal can sometimes freeze up, especially if you use Citibank. read more

one of my coworkers sent me here and i have to say i love it! the staff are very friendly and i always feel like they have time for me and are happy to have me in their salon. the spa pedi is so relaxing. they use hot towels to clean off your feet at the end and they provide heated wash clothes to dry your hands with. very nice. on my last visit the owner asked me if i'd like my eyebrows waxed which i am very particular about ever since i had a bad experience, so i'm not one to happily try a new place. however i have to say hands down best eyebrow wax ever! i love the shape and it was almost painless! i have never had any sanitation complaints or problems and always feel comfortable knowing my hands and feet are being taken care of professionally. read more

i love Nicky....i have to say that she is the best!!! so talented she hooooks me up...its afordable i go every two weeks for a fill and i like to do diferent things with my nails and she always has something new in mind to do...never rushes to do anybody and the best of all is that she listens....5 stars 4 u Nicky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Uh.. don't care too much about this place. I only come here because I followed my gal Diane (from Nail Art), who I have been going to for the last 5 years. She is awsome @ performing artificial gel and manicures. The owner greets me sometimes, but I know she is fake! The spa tubs doesn't always look clean to me, so I have not purchased a pedicure service yet. However, they did get new ones, so maybe I'll try one day =) Diane gets 4 stars, giving this place 3. read more

Well as someone stated earlier... it is like any other hole in the wall. But unlike my three favorite nail salons, who were all booked and unable to fit me in despite my consistent patronage. So I was left SOL with no where else to go and leavin for a business trip in less than 10 hours, that didn't alott any time for personal fun. So I hoped on yelp/google to find the most convienent place. Neo nails won. The lady althought Veitnamese was no where near a sterotypical Miss Swan. She spoke very good English to me, wasn't pushy at all and was very sweet. The owner and her co-worker did a french manicure (natural I don't do fake anything) and a pedicure in an hour flat! I didn't feel rushed at all it was perfect becuase I still have to pack! The mani looks great a bit wider than I usually go for but I got compliments the moment I left. My only negative for the mani would be that she left me with 3 bubbled nails (all you anal ladies know what I'm talking about) which drives me crazy. Other than that she was the sweetest lady and did a great fast job! My pedi was nice apart from the owner giving me a twisted look at my thick mexican legs when I told her I danced, But she (and the other clientel especially this one guy who had us all cracking up) was very talkative and apologized for being inturrupted repeatedly. She still took her time cleaing and scrubbing which felt great. I could have used a harder massage but the expirience was great. Oh did I mention the best part..... It was only $40 !!! They take Visa but prefer cash. Yea a 1 hr french mani/pedi with a few laughs and a quick moment to myself. Definately worth it if your not wanting super luxe princess status..... Its definately the girl next door quicky spot :) ANd believe me when my salon gives their snobbish attitude (which is often) I'll be going back here again! read more

I went to Neo Nails after a long hiatus. They are under new management and I will never be back. I guess the old management took the talented nail tech when they left and the replacements cannot hold up to the former excellance that was once Neo Nails. I only wish there was a negative star. Neo nails tried to pass off Avon Nail Polish as a Matte polish . They did a horrible wax job on the eyebrows of my friend and my fresh new set looks like ive had them for a month and as of this review my nail set is 6 days old. Do yourself a solid and find a new nail bar. read more

I've been here for pedicures a couple of times and got my first gel manicure here over the weekend. I didn't catch their names but the girls that helped me were great. I love the pedi's, just a standard pedi nothing out of the ordinary here, and I'm really liking the gel manicure. Reasonable prices and they try to get you in a chair as quickly as possible. read more

I originally went to this shop to get gel polish manicures because my former shop didn't do them. I absolutely love Kim -- she does a wonderful job every time I go,and people often compliment me for how beautiful my nails are, so I recommend her whenever I can. I appreciate that Kim speaks fluent English too. I haven't experienced any of the problems others have reported here. Every employee in the shop has been very friendly and polite every time I have been there. read more

I went to this nail place based on the previous yelper's review. My experience turn out to be very disappointing. First, This place is NOT CLEAN. I saw NAILS on the floors and inside the pedicure sink next to me. The manicurst who helped me with my pedicure cut my cuticle too much and made me bleed. The worst of the experience was that I got an infection from it and have to take antibiotic for 7 days. I will NEVER RETURN to this place again. I just want to share my experience with other follow yelpers and let them know that previous reviews are false representation of this place. read more

Where is Sally? I found her! She is at New Fashion Nail, 1760 Winchester Ave, Campbell. 408.866-8180. I will follow her wherever she goes. I am picky and she does a perfect set every time. Absolutely beautiful! read more

I was going to Neo Nails for over a year and just recently I noticed the service going down hill - I started feeling rushed. I was very disappointed especially since I knew everyone and I give VERY good tips. This was my spa time I want to relax and enjoy not be rushed like I'm at a fast-food place. read more

Visited san jose and tried this spot today. Very impressed, nice clean inside. New pedicure chairs that were awesome. I jusr got a french tip pedicure. Very good for the money. read more

Went to this nail salon and was shocked at how dirty it was. As I received my nail services there was a man receiving a pedi. After he was done I then watched the girl take a scrub sponge and only clean out around the top where it would have left a film. She then was more concerned about what she was going to each for lunch. I would never get my feet done here. My service was not cheap and she did not give me a hand massage after my service which is usually done at other nail salons. Also, the rhinestones are already falling out and it has only been a short time. read more

I've been living around this area of San Jose for almost 9 years, and for those 9 years, Neo Nails services have declined tremendously. Now, I only go to get my eyebrows done, and that too I think I might stop doing because the chair they have you laying in is dirty, with strands of nasty hair still lying on the head rest area. The towel that is placed under you looks like it is NEVER washed. As for the nails. They are horrible. Their paint never stays on, even the jell. It's like they have bad quality of paint or supplies. I have seen so many different women workers coming in and out of that place and NONE OF THEM have any skills. Hella limited. I started going to Mt. Pleasant Nails on the east side (They are the best, kinda small, and the girl who does my nails is a perfectionist as she takes her time. And they're cheap). Anyway, one time I had jell on my toes and the girl acted like she didn't know what to do. I was thinking, 'don't you know how to take off jell???? she was taking it off so roughly and in a way Ive never seen. She clearly didn't know what she was doing. They don't fully invest any time in really giving you a good manicure or pedicure, skipping over certain importance services like cleaning up cuticles and such. Even the massages are half-ass and sloppy. I stopped going here a few years ago, but the few times Ive came recently was due to last minute stuff and I didn't have the time to go anywhere else since they are literally right down the street. My excuse before for getting my nails done here was based on the shop being so close, but for the past 5 months I have been travelling to the east side to get my nails done. Its so much worth it. Don't waste your money on Neo Nails. read more

This salon is great. After reading so many great reviews courtesy of Yelp, I decided to try it out. I called for an appointment for that same evening, and was pleasantly surprised that they were able to fit me in. I wanted to try something different, so I got pink glitter gels. They're so cute! The lady did an awesome job on my cuticles and the wasn't rough on the drill at all. (I've gone to some places where my fingers were sore afterwards). I also, got a french pedicure, as well. She also did a great job on my toes. Very symmetrical and she kept asking if I liked what she was doing which I liked. The warm towels felt so good! Too bad I don't remember her name, but I'm sure that the other ladies in the salon do a great job. I paid $70 + tip. Kinda pricey, but the experience was well worth it. I'll be back again! read more

Neo Nails is definitely not the cutest of places but that's not what I came here for, I found Neo Nails through Yelp because I wanted to get some fun glittery nails, and that's what I got, and they did a beautiful job with white glittery nails with light pink nail beds, not only that, it was very cost effective. For my full set and my boyfriend's daughter to get her nails painted with little flowers it was only $50!!! How can you beat that?!? I know that I will definitely come back.... read more

I had already written a review and gave them three stars and after today I am changing it to 5 stars. I decided to go back and get a pedi from this place and I am so happy I did. I have been very picky about places and how clean they are and usually Neo Nails is clean. However today I went in there and I saw how they clean and disinfect the tub and I have to say they REALLY clean! To start I was sitting in a chair which the massage was not working, the owner came over and asked me if I wanted to change and of course I changed seats and I was in heaven not only that, they took a whole hour doing my peddi. And I have to say they did an amazing job. I would recommend this place to anyone who is pick and really needs a good peddi. read more

I've came here two times to get my pedicure done. The first time I came in, I mentioned to them that I love Hello Kitty, so they drew a Hello Kitty on my big toes with rhinestones! It was really cute. The second time here, I got a french pedicure with just a flower design on my big toes. They draw the BEST flower designs, ever. It actually looks like a flower. The paint doesn't usually last very long though. Some paint chipped off on my nails 4 days after I've gotten my pedicure, when I had pedicures that doesn't even chip until 3 weeks within the pedicure. The pumice and tools they use on you are used I believe, so if you're very hygienic, this salon isn't the place for you. $25 for french pedicure and $5 for designs. I usually just do walk-ins for my pedicures, and luckily it's not busy when I'm there. read more

I have only gotten pedi's at Neo but everytime I go it's been a good experience. Well, the last time I went, all the nail ladies were busy helping other customers so the owner actually gave me a pedi (I've been here enough times to know owns the place. she the older lady that sits near the front with glasses). I was like...ookk I don't mind waiting but she pointed me to the spa area and told me she'll be helping me. So I agreed. This was the only time that I did NOT enjoy my pedi. She didn't trim my cuticles and only getting a pedi every 3-4 weeks, they need to be trimmed!! The massage wasn't much better. Even though I paid an extra $5 to get the lavender scrub which gets me an extra 5 mins of massage, the whole thing probably lasted less than 5 minutes. She proceeded to give me my french tips and it looked horrible. It was like something I painted on myself. I thought it'll look better once she's done but I was wrong. I didn't wanna to say anything since I go there so often and they all know me. But I didn't want to walk around for 3-4 weeks with a messed up pedi. So I told the girl who was helping the lady next to me. She took one look and said I'll fix it. And she did once she was done helping her customer. She removed the nail polish, trimmed my cuticles, and repainted my nails. In the end, I got what I wanted and it looked good. But I felt bad for having to trouble someone else to fix the owner's mistake. So if you go to Neo, any of the ladies will give you a decent pedi. If the owner offers to help you, politely decline and wait for someone available to help you. Update 11/26/13: all the good nail techs left this salon and moved on. From what I've heard its due to lousy treatment from the owner. My last spa pedi was rushed and not at all relaxing...it was like herding cattle! No thanks. read more

I'm so picky when it comes to nail salons...but I decided to give this place a try, after my SIL came here. Its the typical nail salon, not fancy...but they do know what they're doing. However, the only person I will only go to is....KRISTI =) she's so sweet! I love the fact that she calls me by my name and not "honey" like all the other nail techs I've gone to in the past...LOL! Kristi, does EXACTLY what I want, never knicked me, and she does really nice designs. (hand painted, 3D, etc) I promise you will not be disappointed! Go to Kristi, she's the best! read more

This place may not be fancy spa quality (or even that clean)...but they give damn good manicures and pedicures that last 100 years longer than any spa mani/pedi I've ever had (and trust me I've had too many)...and their treatment is really high quality too...the price is excellent and well worth it..I don't know about that part of town, but hey...we risk a lot for beauty...The Vietnamese ladies are very nice and they do the best nail art by hand that I have ever seen! ...this place is a good catch. read more

I was recommended to this place after having gone to Marvelous Nails and not liking how the lady had done my nails. I noticed that they were really thick and always growing out within days of getting them re-filled. I was recommended to have Christi do my nails which I did. I found her to be very professional, quick, and I could hold a conversation with her while she was doing my nails. I'm quite picky when it comes to filing my nails as I like them to be shaped in between square and round and she filed them perfectly the way I like them. After filing one nail she'd ask me how I liked it before filing the others. I got pink and white refills and they turned out to be perfect and not thick like when I went to the previous nail salon. Christi told me that whoever did my nails before didn't do a good job as they were lifting and too thick. I've been to Christi twice now and will continue to go back to ther as long as I get my nails done. read more

Well, I came here because Im on a quest to find a GREAT nail salon that doesnt charge $50 for a maniure. The yelp reviews for Neo were pretty high, so I went for a manicure. Looking at this place, there's nothing outstanding or different here from any of the small typical nail salons I've seen everywhere- strip mall location, fluorescent lighting, soft rock. The ladies working here were pretty nice. The price is very good- $10 for a decent manicure. However, within the first hour of the manicure, I already had several nicks....all in all decent but nothing special. read more
