    Unfortunately I did not get my nails done here. I tried to get a mani (fill in, no appointment) but they were closed at 5:30pm on a Monday. The door was locked. I called and got their answering machine requesting to text. I sent a text 45 minutes ago to ask whether they'd be closed for the rest of the day and just received a response apologizing and stating that they're open but only go by appointment. I wish their listing and/or answering machine stated this. Upped from 2 stars to 3 because they did respond (by that time, I was getting service at another nail salon.)

    Lana has been doing a fantastic job since I go to her last work location near Valley Fair shopping mall. I have visited her for more than a year and a half. I have always been happy with her manicure and pedicure service! She is diligent, detail-oriented, and cares about her customers' experiences. I'm glad she has successfully operated her own business and has offered a variety of new nail colors for customers!

    Lana does such an amazing job! She takes the time to make sure everything looks perfect. Personally, when I go to nail salons, my cuticles already start to lift within a couple of days. But that never happens when Lana does my nails. I also love how private the experience feels. It's typically just you there, so it's a nice break and some quiet while having time to yourself. There's also great wifi, if you need to take a meeting or want to be on your devices during a pedicure. You can also text to schedule your appointment, which is a great win. 10/10 recommend this place to all my family and friends!

    I've been coming here since December 2023 to get acrylic nails. Lana is really good at and she is very nice, too. The salon is clean and relaxing. Also, there are a lot of colors to choose from.

    I got a manicure and pedicure done at Scott&Benton Nails today Lana did a fabulous job of both,she was really sweet,polite and helpful and am truly happy with her service Her salon is spotless and spanking clean and hygienic- will definitely recommend her to everyone and will return to her when I visit Santa Clara again

    Lana is absolutely amazing and sweet! She's always on time and never rushes. It's just her so it's by appointment only. The nail spa is super clean, bright and quiet! I love getting my nails done with her!

    Luv the way my nails were done by Lana

    Lana did an excellent job on my pedicure and acrylic nail fill with shellac polish. She has such a clean and beautiful nail salon. She is also very cautious with keeping her clients safe so she does not overbook clients. Highly recommend her for your nail and waxing needs!

    I love this Mood Gel Polish!!!

    The owner, Lana, has been doing my nails and hair since 2001. I have tried several different nail salons over the years, and have come to the conclusion that there is no one better than Lana! She is very accommodating when it comes to making an appointment, and she does an excellent job on my nails, hair and pedicure! I always get lots of compliments. And her prices are very competitive. Up until now, she has always worked for someone else, and I am so excited to see her start her own business and will continue to support her for years to come!

    Amazing top notch service. Great quality nails and happy provider. The amount of care and thoroughness Lana provided was incredibly professional I would definitely recommend this place. And will go there again and again

    Lana always does such a great job on my nails. I just come in with a picture and she's able to recreate it! Her salon is super clean too! It's super COVID friendly she does it by appointment only so you're the only one in the salon while she does your nails.

    I have been to Q Nails several times, and unfortunately, my experience has gotten worse with each…read morevisit. Sometimes there is a barking dog in the salon, and most of the time the place feels dirty and not particularly well-maintained. My most recent visit will definitely be my last. I stopped in for a walk-in pedicure and asked the man at the front if they had time. He said yes and directed me to a chair. After I sat down and he started filling the foot bath, two customers with appointments walked in. Shortly after that, another walk-in came in, and he turned her away. It was obvious he was annoyed that he had accepted me before realizing his scheduled clients had arrived. He rushed through my pedicure from start to finish. I actually don't mind a shorter massage, so that wasn't my main concern. What bothered me was the quality of the service. He applied only one coat of polish--no base coat and no top coat--and then immediately moved on to the next customer. Once my nails were dry, they told me I was ready to leave and charged me full price for what felt like a rushed, incomplete pedicure. I paid full price, but definitely did not receive a full service. I won't be returning, and based on my experiences, I can't recommend Q Nails.

I've tried many other places over the past 20+ years, but no one has ever come close to his level of skill, precision, and consistency. Not only is his work exceptional, but his professionalism truly sets him apart. He is always focused, detail-oriented, and dedicated to delivering quality every single time. Over the years, ThatMan has become more than just my nail tech--he's someone I genuinely respect and look up to as a true example of what it means to be a professional. If you're looking for the best, you won't find anyone better.

No refund, no solution, and deeply unprofessional behavior. *~~ Service Overview & Pricing I booked a same-day appointment that the owner accepted. I requested: * #108 Gelixir purple gel polish + acrylic fill manicure * #108 Gelixir purple regular polish + basic pedicure The owner upsold heavily throughout. I even let her do extra work on my pinkies to build rapport. Total: $81 Tip: $15 (tipped before the service was completed) She opened the shop ~5 min late despite accepting my 9:30 AM appointment, & complained aloud, setting the tone for our session. *~~ Where Everything Went Wrong 1. First Mistake Toe spacers were applied after polishing but before the paint was dry, immediately smudging the big toe. 2. Second Attempt They only partially removed the polish to "fix" it. Because the initial coats weren't fully removed, the application was thick and uneven. After 40 minutes of "drying," the nail dented and the texture caught the lip of my shoe, scratching again. I told them I still had time if they wanted to properly redo it. 3. Third Attempt A kind staff member accidentally damaged the other big toe while helping me into disposable sandals. At this point, my toes had been ruined three separate times--all due to staff actions. *~~ The Owner's Response When I asked if they could use gel on the big toes (since the mistakes were theirs), the owner refused and claimed: 1. The colors "wouldn't match." 2. Gel and regular polish can't match--despite the Gelixir palette offering both and my manicure proving otherwise. 3. That because I chose regular polish, the outcome was my fault. She repeated this many times. 4. That regular polish takes "hours to dry in cold weather," something she never mentioned and is simply not true. By then I had been there from 9:30 AM to 12:20 PM, and the pedicure was the first service we started. *~~ Escalation & Unprofessional Conduct When I calmly asked for a reasonable fix (or at least accountability for my time), the owner became rude, defensive, and dismissive. She offered: * No refund * No partial refund * No refund of my tip * No solution She repeatedly told me I could "leave if I didn't like it" while her staff was trying to help me with bare toes. Instead of accountability, she lectured me with constant "you" statements and kept shifting blame. I stayed polite and attempted to de-escalate, but she kept escalating. My friend who was with me also felt the owner was short, judgmental, and rude from the beginning. As a Filipina, I'm familiar with cultural bluntness--this wasn't bluntness. This was aggressiveness and unprofessionalism. *~~ Service Quality & Safety Concerns * They used a pumice scrubber on my inner ankle bone, leaving raw skin and micro-cuts. * The owner drilled harshly on the sides and cuticle area during my fill, causing irritation and cuts. When I said "ow," she told me I "needed lotion." (I regularly moisturize; the issue was her technique.) * During upselling for designs/gems, she asked about two fingers. When I agreed, she worked on the wrong fingers, insisted I said "all," and did the same thing to my friend. * Despite her picking my friend's shade, she acted annoyed when we asked to see it on one toe. Odd behavior throughout--there's truly no winning with her. *~~ Final Thoughts Based on quality alone, this could have been a 2-star experience. But the owner's behavior makes it a 0-star experience. Earlier, she told me her business struggles with retention but has some regulars. Now I understand why. The recurring reviews about poor customer service suddenly make complete sense. Even her responses to negative reviews show the same pattern--confrontational, defensive, and unwilling to take responsibility. It's impossible to relax when the owner is hostile, unaccountable, and provides no customer care. This was my first time going (only to accommodate my friend's work schedule) because in theory the 9:30 AM start time is competitive. But honestly, you're better off walking one minute over to Winchester Nails, which is actually my regular spot. I'll never cheat on them again.
