Ladies. Listen up. This place is the real deal. First, these have been the best longest lasting gels/acrylic manicures I've ever had and I've been getting my nails done since 1997. I only go every three weeks or so, but my nails have never cracked, chipped, or lifted. What more can you ask for? Keep reading. I wanted a very short length ombré French manicure. Most of the time when I go places they try to talk me into longer more feminine (I guess) type of length. I just can't type when they're long and I have to give room for growth, so I like them short. No arguments from them. She started long and checked in until I said stop. Yay! Also, they are quick and reasonably priced! I was in and out in 75 min (hands and feet done at the same time). That's at least 30 min shorter and $30-35 cheaper than my (old) regular place with the same services. I drive 20 miles round trip just to come here and it's worth it. It's bright, clean, and the ladies are friendly/sweet and more than capable of delivering what you ask for. I've brought friends and family here and am so glad I found this place!!

I was visiting family in the area, so my cousin and I decided to treat ourselves. The person doing my pedicure did such a great job that my feet feel brand new. I, unfortunately, didn't get her name. However, Natalie took amazing care of my full set. I told her I wanted a French ombré and she knew exactly what to do. I didn't know what nail shape, so I trusted her to pick the shape that looked best on my hands. SHE DID NOT DISAPPOINT! I love my nails, and I have no complaints. Will return because of Natalie. Update: The business informed me that my pedicure technician's name is Thuy! Thank you very much, Thuy!

I don't know how many times I've passed this nail spot and never thought about going in. Well, today I did! I arrived around the early afternoon beating the morning busyness. I forgot the name of the tech who did my nails but I'll remember her face. She gave me some info about diffretypes of styles & sets, which ones you can full & ones that are new each time. I left very satisfied with my nails and the price. I found my new spot

I love love love the customer service at Niki Nails!!! My nails come out perfect every time. My pedicures are also relaxing and I would suggest an extra 5-10 minutes of the perfect massage for the ultimate pedicure. Amazing! I have had parties inviting all my sisters to share this great experience. I highly recommend the service and perfect nails!

Niki did my nails today, "nailed" IT!!!

I've had the same nail technician for over 10 years but now work in San Jose and needed a place more convenient. I was referred to Niki Nails by a co-worker and I have now been twice. Both times I was so pleased! Niki is so nice, and she really gave me what I requested. I brought in pictures for her to see and she "nailed" the shape & length I desired. I will definitely continue to patronize!!

Today was my 1st time at Niki Nails and I will definitely be going back! I made an appointment online through Yelp and Niki messaged me even before they opened! I appreciate and respect that hustle and dedication. There's a decent parking lot, but do remember to lock your cars always & keep valuables hidden away! Kind of sketchy people loitering around the lot. The shop itself is easy to find. If it's not too busy, someone will simply ask if you have an appointment. Luckily I was seated right away even though I was early. I had a SUPER THICK gel nail that I had done while I was in Japan around January. The nail tech (forgot to ask for her name) was very careful because at one point you wonder where my actual nail is. Haha. She made sure to ask me if I felt any pain or discomfort during the gel removal. She was really sweet and shaped my nails very well. My nails were inspired by an IG post I saw the other day. I believe Niki took over on the design and it came out looking fantastic! I know how tricky it is to get straight thin lines, but these are dang perfect. Overall, super satisfied, $35 affordable! And excellent service! :)

I've been going to Niki Nails for a few months and absolutely adore this place. Niki does these marble nails that I absolutely love and turn out just like the pictures I provide as a reference. Prices here are also very reasonable and staff is always very sweet and accommodating. My gel pedicure lasts about a month without chipping and never had problems with my acrylics lasting or lifting. 10/10 would recommend

I been going to Nikki nails for 4 years and absolutely loved this place. this set was done by Nikki every time I get my nails done here she always does an amazing job

Blanca R.

Me and my sister went in to get our nails done and the outcome was astonishing! Before she started she offered us water and made friendly conversation. She gave me her input on what would look best with the design I was getting. I was completely satisfied with the end result and couldn't have asked for anything better!

I really wanted to like this place but I left a little unhappy. My first visit here I was going to book the number two bundle which was $50 included hot stone paraffin wax 10 minute massage and sugar scrub. But the nail tech insisted on me getting the bundle number three said it was better the only difference I really saw in pricing and what they offered was that the number three bundle offer two more minutes of massage and your sugar scrub would be scented. This was listed as $55. So I said sure let's go with the bundle number three because two more minutes of massage sounded nice to me. As you see in the picture, the polish wasn't really cleaned off my skin all that well. You can clearly see paint on my skin and the work was a bit patchy you can see on my nail some spots look more coated than others uneven work. And when it was time for the massage, I saw her set up a timer which didn't even work so I looked at the clock on my phone. she did maybe about seven minutes of a "massage" which during that time she kept getting up to get stuff so really I got maybe a five minute massage which was upsetting because I was going to pay for the 10 minute massage and she insisted on me purchasing the bundle for 12 minutes of massage and I didn't even get that. And to top it off my skin got burned from the hot towels. I'm sure it'll go away but it left my legs are very red .I don't think it was worth the money I paid which was $70 because I chose to do gel polish . The only good thing was they were pretty friendly and their establishment was clean, but I don't know you look at my nails and tell me

Just tried Niki Nails for the first time with my cousin we needed a new nail salon and stumbled across this one. We loved the service we got! They take their time and are very friendly. Prices are reasonable and the salon is very clean and tidy.

Melanie R.

I love this place!! I have been coming to Nikki Nails for about two years and I keep coming back because I feel so comfortable here and they do such a great job. Everybody's friendly and I know I can always count on getting my nails done perfectly. I tried other places but this is where I belong. I hope you will find it the same for you.

It was really to make an appointment online. Niki responded back really quickly. Very clean salon. Huge parking lot. Great price. Niki and her staff were really nice. Very helpful on helping me pick a color.

She is always prompt about appointments and flexible at getting back to me if we need to change things. She's a professional who knows how to remove hair. She will also try new products or things that might help the experience. Her space is very clean and orderly, and you feel very comfortable when you walk in. It's very easy to make appointments with her. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair removal needs at this point!

I have been getting waxes (brows and Brazilian) done with Cristina for well over a decade. The commitment she puts into her craft is unmatched, her care for her clients is unmeasured, and her efforts to make you feel as comfortable as possible makes getting a Brazilian wax feel like a walk in the park. I remember 6 years ago, I was super anxious to get waxed 8 weeks after my c-section, but I trust Cristina, so I let her work her magic, and again she made the experience very comfortable by checking in with each patch near my scar. On a light note, there's no one else id go to for these services because she knows all my gossip lol She is definitely a girls girl and keeps allllll the secrets lol I go for the waxes, stay for the tea. 20 out of 10 recommend!

After my first appointment, I intentionally started booking with other estheticians at this location, and those experiences were excellent. I never had any issues with pain or my skin. This time, I didn't realize I had been assigned to Emillee again. During the waxing, I repeatedly asked her to be gentler because the pain was unbearable, but she continued anyway. The experience was extremely painful, and afterward my skin developed blisters. I've had waxing done many times before, including by other staff at this location, and I've never experienced anything like this. Throughout the appointment, she repeatedly commented that I had darker skin and darker hair. Those comments made me feel very uncomfortable and singled out. I also noticed her adding something to the wax during the appointment, although I wasn't told what it was. In addition, wax was spilled on both the floor and the table, making the entire appointment feel disorganized and unprofessional. During the service, I told her how much pain I was in and warned that I would consider taking legal action if my skin was injured because I felt my concerns were being ignored. Despite that, the service continued without any noticeable adjustment. Overall, this was one of the worst waxing experiences I've ever had. Based on my experience, I would not book with Emillee again.
