    French tip fullset with Kathy
    Oanh D.

    First time here at Perfect spa& tan and I got appointment with Kathy. I love her!!!!! Got a fullset with french tip and it came out just so perfect. She is very nice and professional. She is the only one did my nail without scratching my curticle( my curticle is very thin)The french tip is on pointed and elegant. Definitely will come back.

    I LOVE my nail tech, AVA!!! She can recreate whatever nail style I show her! She's amazing at what she does

    Pedicure
    Silpa D.

    Pedicure was quick and very basic for $38--and I was surprised by the extra $5 charge for an ingrown toenail. Manicure with powder acrylic was neat and I liked her work for $55, but again, charging extra to clean cuticles felt off. That's basic nail care, and it should be included. Overall, clean finish but not worth the hidden costs.

    Service is wonderful, very sweet girls The quality of my gel is where I'm frustrated. I went in for a mani/pedi and my toes look amazing! My fingers though.. they look great, but I paid to have gel, and the gel is chipping off 2 days after having them. I went and requested they fix 2 of my nails, which they did, free of charge and they were so sweet about it... But literally not even an hour after getting them fixed, another nail chipped. I'm just frustrated and wish that they lasted. Unfortunately I think they're all going to keep chipping off until I get them redone.

    This is the only nail place in San Jose that I trust to do an acrylic set on me because they get it right every. single. time. I've been going to this place since 2018 and I've tried many different salons since and there always just something off, but the nail techs at Perfect Nails & Tan (@nailsby_melissa on IG) do an amazing job every time I visit. I always make an appointment through text and never have had to wait to get seated. I've gotten service from several different nail techs, and all of them do a stellar job on my requests. I also LOVE how efficient they are as someone with a very busy schedule. When I ask for a very simple design, I'm typically out of there in 45-50 minutes! Also, these nails last AGES. I don't have a labor intensive job but I do lift weights at the gym and these sets will last me over a month! I typically am very safe with my designs and get a French tip or a single color, but today I decided to branch out and try a design I saw on Pinterest and I truthfully was very nervous because I don't love being adventurous with nail designs. I was seated with Kathy and oh my goodness SHE DID WHAT SHE HAD TO DO!!! I showed her a photo of my inspo which was a mermaid nail design with 3D detailing and she got to work. The nails came out EXACTLY how I wanted them to and I am literally OBSESSED. Kathy is so talented and was so patient with me as I showed her many different inspo pics and had her do a different design for each nail. I mean this when I saw that this has seriously got to be my most favorite set I've ever gotten. Thank you Perfect Nails and Tan for being my tried and true, I will forever be a loyal customer!!

    Day after, I went back to have it looked at. Same pain and more swelling

    Update : 04/09/2025 , I went back to the shop and spoke with the nail salon manager . She was understanding , apologized and gave me a refund; on the otherhand , my thumb nail was badly burned under the u.v lamp which unfortunately a refund does not compensate for the nail burn . I made an appointment with a doctor and had it looked at . I was prescribed a antiobitic ointment and numbing cream for the pain. This incident should've never happen . I will not personally be returning to Perfect Nails & Tan for any kind of services . I can't recommend this business due to the bad experience I encountered.

    9 days later and I have fungus. Attached pictures. This I'd disgusting. Do not come here

    this was my inspo pic. i wanted the set on the right
    Thuy Anh T.

    I texted the number on their IG page, @nailsby_melissa and they told me I could walk in at 5:30 today. In my texts I said I wanted a gel-X set, and Bebe confirmed that I wanted a gel-X set when I came in. However, she talked me into acrylics instead. I didn't want acrylics but she insisted that the design I wanted wouldn't work with gel-X (in hindsight I doubt if this was true, and I regret letting her do acrylics). Although she was not mean or rude to me, Bebe was VERY ROUGH with both the e-file and the regular file. She filed my nails so hard that I was visibly wincing in pain. I noticed that the nail tech next to me was much more gentle when she filed her client's nails, and the client next to me kept glancing over at me because she probably noticed how rough Bebe was being on my nails. Bebe seemed very rushed as she sawed at my nails. I asked her if she could make my nails a little shorter, and she clipped my nails so quickly and roughly that she cut into the tip of my thumb. This was the only time she realized her mistake and said "sorry". My nails are still so sore and painful hours after getting them done. I also overheard a lot of gossip in Vietnamese. I don't think they realized that I am also Vietnamese and could understand everything they were saying. I didn't feel comfortable to speak up, but they should be aware that customers can hear them. As for the design, I used an inspiration photo directly from their own IG page, @nailsby_melissa. I figured that they could recreate it since they've literally done it before at their salon. I wanted the set on the right (the photo shows two people's sets, I wanted the right one). The glitter on the index and ring fingers turned out badly. The glitter she used on me was much chunkier than the inspo pic, and she put it on thickly all over the nail instead of doing a subtle gradient like the photo. She never asked me if I liked the nails before she finished, so it was too late to ask her to redo it by the time she told me to go wash my hands. She seemed like she was so rushed and she already caused me a lot of pain so I didn't think it was worth it to ask for a change. I'm unsatisfied with my nails and I'm sad because I only get my nails done maybe once a year. I'm going on a vacation for the first time in a long time so I wanted to get my nails done today-- I'm disappointed that it was such a painful experience for nails I'm not happy with.

    Finally found my new go to Nail Salon!!! My sister recommended this spot for a while and I finally listened to her after struggling to find a nail salon closer to me but wasn't successful. Should have just gone here from the start, I would have saved myself money and disappointments lol. SARA is going to be my go to. She listened carefully to what I wanted. I showed her the reference picture I had and she nailed it! My sister has been going to Sara for over a year now and she always gets complements on her nails. Sara would check in and make sure I was satisfied. I came on a Saturday and they were very busy. Good thing I had a 5PM appointment. So make sure to make an appointment before hand.

    Left the salon with sloppy unfinished nails .
    Miri Y.

    Made a 6pm appointment for a new set with Bebe ( station 6). I showed her a picture of the color and shape I wanted . After leaving the nails way too long , I asked her to cut them down. All nails turned out to be a different length and thickness. I asked Bebe to keep my nails at medium thickness . After asking her to fill them in a bit more she got an attitude and told me not to come back to her station . This was a horrible experience. The entire process felt very rushed and sloppy . Why work in the service industry if you're not willing to listen to your customer? Definitely won't come back !

    Tech missed 2 spots. Poor service. (Gel pedicure)
    Christine L.

    The quality and service gets worse every time I come back. Last month (May), I got a french gel manicure and gel pedicure. The tech who did my manicure applied cuticle oil before my nails were even finished. This caused my manicure to start lifting in 1 week. This month (June), I got a gel manicure and gel pedicure. The tech who did my pedicure kept touching my freshly painted nails with the UV light. A day after getting my nails done, I noticed that she missed a huge spot on 2 toes. (UPDATE) This was 2 days ago and now two nails are lifting. The service is no longer reliable nor great. The techs rush their work. They're super pushy about upgrading service packages. They always hurt me when cutting cuticles and they're messy with gel polish. I'm never coming back here.

    I came in with natural black hair with damaged ends that were still clingy onto the last coloring…read moresession I did probably 3 years ago. I was a mess! Michael is like a magician. I mean, just look at the photos. I wanted my hair to be brown with light brown highlights and he definitely delivered! Not only did he nail the color, the cut and the blow out afterwards was *chefs kiss* .. Michael is so friendly and works quickly. He doesn't waste any time, but also doesn't rush! I don't even want to share how much I paid because it's such a steal! I definitely recommend this place!! Where has Michael been all my life???!!! Never leaving him again!!

    So glad I found Meraki Salon! I was looking for a place that accepts walk-ins for haircuts that…read morewere nearby. I was overdue for a haircut since my last haircut was around 4 months ago. Meraki Salon is only 5-minutes from my house and super affordable. Michael was able to layer my hair and made it look like it has a lot of volume. I've always hated choppy layers, so I was happy that Michael was able to execute the haircut to my liking. My hair now looks healthy since he was able to cut all the dry ends off. He works fast but is meticulous. Michael is very sweet and knowledgeable regarding haircuts. Highly recommend him if you're looking for a great haircut without breaking the bank. I'll be a returning customer. Thank you, Chu Michael!
