got a Gel pedicure and I recommend! It was good price ($40) which included cut/shaping, sugar scrub, oil, hot towel & lotion. Lady was very friendly and offered me water :) Went as a walk in and only took 30 minutes. I'm happy with the service and work she did read more

All nail techs are friendly and very careful with your nails. Affordable too. They remember each customer and their preferences.

I went on a Monday kind of last minute because I wanted to get my toes done since it's starting to get hotter. I honestly just looked up the first place, and I'm so glad I did because this was the best service I've gotten in a while. Usually I stick to certain shops because I already know I like their work, but the only reason I didn't this time is because I don't live in that area anymore. This is technically my first summer in this area, so I decided to try out a new shop, and it was really, really good. She actually takes her time, and on Mondays it's only one person working, so if you want to go on a slower day, I'd recommend calling to make an appointment. I would for sure go back. She is so sweet, super nice, and very gentle. read more

Rude lady, she has bad attitude. I only had my waxing just this afternoon. Please teach your staff to go nice to customers. I was just asking if she's gonna take out the tiny hair, she just went out and told me to look at the mirror. The way she spoke to me she was very rude that's why I didn't give tip to her. Because of that, I will not go back to your parlor anymore. There's a lot of beauty salon around anyways. read more

You get what you pay for but I didn't want to pay for a lot this time around so that worked out. I came in on a slow Monday night and had only one person there for nails. She greeted me right away and sat me down at the pedicure chair. I asked for a regular basic pedicure and she got started. I didn't have much to say and she let me enjoy a silent service without having to ask. The pedicure was good nothing extreme but again I didn't ask for much. It's a small mom and pop shop that' still does the job and prices are reasonable. Will definitely be back when I need another quiet me time. read more

Had an amazing experience with getting the most awesome pedicure. Kim never disappoints! She has the lightest touch and the foot massage is the greatest! If you're looking for a personal touch please come and check out Pinky's Nails & Spa. The best place for "ME TIME"! read more

**review for Nancy!! She is so talented, quick & pays attention to detail. She listened to what I wanted - full ombré coffin set. She shaped my nails perfectly (coffin) and didn't question me when I asked to go shorter. She pays attention to detail and I didn't have to ask her to fix any nails. She is talented and my nails came out thin & perfect!! $45 full set + $10 tip. Totally worth it!! Love that this shop is open on a late Sunday afternoon too!!! I will definitely be back to see Nancy next time I'm in town visiting my Mom :) read more

Nice people doing great service. Easy to make appointment with lots of parking. Highly recommend.

I am very happy to have found a new place to do my acrylic nails, I was looking for a place that didn't make me feel like they were doing me a favor. I was looking for a place that welcomes new customers as well as cares to keep them. After calling to ask for prices I was given a time I could come the same day since they were busy right then, plus they followed up with a call and a text as soon as the opening happened sooner. I was greeted with hospitality and my technician introduced herself as well as asked for my name, something so simple that goes a long way. Kim did my nails and I'm absolutely thrilled with my new acrylic nails! Kim was both friendly and professional, taking the time to really listen to my preferences and create a look that exceeded my expectations, she made some magic by combining two colors! The salon was clean and inviting, and the prices were fair. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a new spot. read more

i came here to get acrylics for the first time, and the experience was very pleasant! the ladies were very nice and welcoming. i didn't get the name of the lady who did my nails, but she made sure i was happy with my nails and they turned out amazing! i also came back to get my acrylics removed, and the process was a little painful because they peel off the fake nail, however i think it's because my nails are weak/thin to begin with (so if you nails are thin like mine, i would wait and strengthen them before getting acrylics) i would definitely come back again to get my nails done! make sure to bring cash, they do not accept card! *pictures are of my nails a little over 2 weeks later, no lifting or chipping!!* read more

Man this is like the 3rd time I forgot to ask for the name of the woman who did my nails but compared to other nail salons I've been to, she does acrylic sets really good considering the price. I always like to let her know that my nails are sensitive or feel weak and she takes it into consideration while doing your nails :) Always will come back here! read more

I got a special deluxe pedicure from Nancy on Christmas Eve. Nancy is skilled and professional. I especially like reading while using the reclining massage. Nice to have a pedicure and foot massage after a long weeks work. The shopping center has many restaurants and other businesses if you need to shop also. read more

Great people. Good work. Nice environment. I will continue to go there and they do good work

Brought my sister here the day before Thanksgiving, they were empty so she was seen as soon as we got in. $75 for a gel pedicure and a gel full set. Nice and clean place. Parking can get tough as there is a lot going on in this parking lot. The photo she showed the lady wasn't what we ended up with, bummer. read more

Went in about an hour before closing for a full set and a pedi for my kid. Nhung was there and helped us both. She was so nice and just super easy going and easy to talk to. My brain was fried after a long day at work so I got there and drew a blank on what I even wanted to do with my nails. I told her just a milky pink and she got it. I said she could just paint my girls toenails and she went above and beyond, added flowers and a glitter coat. Very patient and nice lady. And the shop was so empty and quiet (because they were going to close). She got us in and out quickly too. read more

This was my first time here. I will defiantly be back. I think price is a big part. This place is a good price compacted to other local spots. The lady there (didn't get her name) did a pretty quick job of fixing the broken nails I had (2) and filling and trimming the others. No smudging or crooked nails. No stuff underneath my nails. She did a clean, quick job. I like the place. I want to give it another try in 3 weeks. It might be my new hidden gem in Union City. read more

I've never been in so much pain getting my nails done before. I called in to make sure they had time to take me, they said sure come on in. I was asked to pick a color when I got there and to my disappointment they didn't have any of the colors I chose (they didn't have 4 of the colors I wanted, finally settled the 5th time for a color that I didn't really want). Fast forward I had to wait for almost 20 minutes (I was in a rush hence why I called before, but was told I'd be helped right away). Service: terrible! The lady helping me seemed like she was in a rush the whole time and she was very inattentive. Filing way too fast which resulted in multiple cuts; literally 1-2 cuts on all my fingers. The salon itself is nice, I just wish the service was better. Maybe I went on an off day. However I don't think I'll be returning. read more

It's very much obvious that they didn't remove my previous extensions. When I asked the lady (I believe her name was Nancy) , she was rude and started speaking in her native language. She wasted 45 mins of my time and still didn't have an explanation why she didn't remove old extensions. Please avoid this place. read more

They did me right! I stopped by for a last minute Father's Day mani pedi and the staff got me right in. The woman who did my nails was able to do the design just like I showed her. She also made friendly conversation and was easy to talk to. Place was clean and I love that they accommodated my daughter while she waited as well. The pedicurist took her time on my pedicure using the paraffin was and with the hot oil massage--very relaxing! Also appreciated their use of the plastic liners for the pedicure tub. They do their eyebrow waxing in a little room off near the back for added privacy so that was nice as well. Happy to tip them and would visit again! read more

So my last two experiences here were positive with Kimmy and another woman, but this time around, work was terrible and low quality. Made an appt at 5pm and it was completely empty in the salon for the first 1.5 hours I was in there, so I really don't understand there being an excuse for messy work. It wasn't crowded or closing time. I'm pretty disappointed despite pointing out flaws and I just couldn't wait any longer to stay and fix more mistakes. My shellac was lumpy, uneven and not completely covering the entirety of my nails. Just make an appt with ONLY KIMMY who works here or Christina Nails in Newark with Christina for solid, consistent high quality work. read more

Came here yesterday to get a mani pedi and overall didn't have the best experience. While the ladies were very nice, I felt rushed during my time there. The ladies seemed to be going as fast as they could as they had other appointments coming soon. When trimming my cuticles, they were a little rough about it and I felt like the area around my fingers kept getting nipped. Mind you, I had also made an appointment several hours in advance, so it's not like I was a walk in. I felt like they should have allocated more time into my service. One of the best parts about getting a mani/pedi is the massage that comes with it. However, my hand massage was literally about 30 seconds per hand. In addition, the lady that did my pedicure finished off my leg/foot massage by pounding on my legs, which by itself, is very typical of an asian massage. However, she hit my ankle bone a few times pretty hard, and I'm surprised that she didn't notice she was hitting a hard bone. This morning, I woke up with a bruise on my ankle which is very sore right now. I was disappointed because this place had really good reviews but I'll be finding another nail salon to go to moving forward. read more

I can't understand how they book you for an appointment when they know they are booked!!!! I called at 430pm and they said come at 530pm. I came in and 3 people are already seated and they told us to pick colors and wait. But I noticed they are still doing pedicure on 2 and has not started on the 3rd one. When I asked how long they said they are running behind! I was dropped off and don't drive so I have to call to get picked up! There's a girl that. And in after and she too has a 530pm appt and they made her come back tomorrow How inconsiderate!!!! read more

Excellent service from the minute I walked in! Greeted with friendly smiles and great energy. Van was my nail tech and she was fabulous! She paid very close attention to detail and gave such a relaxing massage! I recommend getting the deluxe pedicure because you have to get the parafin wax treatment-makes your feet feel rejuvenated and so smooth! I can't wait to come back in 2 weeks! I appreciate the cleanliness and overall friendliness and welcoming environment of the salon. read more

I came here once and it was a good experience. I got a mani and pedi with my mom. I was with the salon owner I believe and she was attentive and asked me to let her know if I didn't like something which I appreciated! This second visit, it was a different story. I was with a different lady, did not know her name. I had to ask her a couple times to fix something. First, the nail shape for my pedi. Then, she took off gel polish from my manicure before but left some on. When I did this, every single time I would ask for something she would say something in her native language. Maybe she was upset I was asking her to correct things I didn't like? But she started doing it every single time after I asked her to fix something. First, I told her if she was going to take off the excess gel from my previous mani. She got the drill and drilled my nail until it burned. My nails are so weak, thin, and brittle. Next, I asked her to add polish on the side of my nail (missed spots), same thing happened. The gel is so uneven. It was just not a good feeling. At the end, I tipped her $2 and she chuckled and started speaking in her language again. So unprofessional. Didn't know what she was saying, but you just know. If it was a good job, I would have tipped more. $68 for gel/mani pedi. That chipped after two days. Worst nail experience I've ever had in my life. My nails are ruined. read more

The atmosphere was lovely and I truly wanted to like this place, but no. I waited 15 minutes for an gel mani/pedi APPOINTMENT (called two days before and no one wrote it down), just to be placed in a pedicure chair with lukewarm water (I asked twice for hot) for an additional 15 minutes. "Kimmie" was rushed, as she was trying to squeeze me in between appts and CUT me twice on my toe and finger. I bled. Rubbing alcohol at home helps. And the final straw: 5 days later my "gel manicure" has chipped. Save your money and your time and go anywhere else but here. There's too many nail salons in UC to bother with Pinky's. read more

July 26, 2019 Fri Our first time here. Appears very pleasant and clean. It's next to Marina market and Daiso. My daughter treated me to a pedicure. It was a fun and relaxing experience except towards the end when my attendant had trouble with artwork and had to start over a couple times. My daughter's turned out great, so it just depends who you get. Still, overall, thankful for the girls day out :). read more

UPDATE: after having my gel mani for exactly a week, the color has already chipped and lost its shine. The edges started lifting up on each nail on day 3. This is so unfortunate since I enjoyed the place. But for the amount I paid I can get a gel mani that lasts well over 3 weeks! read more

Unlike some other places I've been, she didn't pressure me to accept nails that I wasn't comfortable with! read more

I know this place has great reviews but unfortunately my experience wasn't the greatest. The design and shape were cute... BUT I felt like the Nail Tech had no respect for my natural nails and just didn't "get it". I feel like all she may be used to are acrylics. I take great care for my natural nails and get gel on top to strengthen them and prevent them from breaking. She buffed them SO THIN they bent and broke one by one. I've grown them for months and this has never happened. I was heart broken. Lesson learned. I'll stick to Yvonnes Nails off of Mowry where they have more consideration. read more
