    I got glazed donut French tips nails today & It's amazing & it's literally a hidden gem. The lady made it so fast & neat as a professional. I do highly recommend cuz I'm so satisfied. I'll def go back again.

    I LOVEEEEE , My go too since I was 11-12 years old I am now 20 MY GIRLSS! I love Lisa and B they do such a great job always , here are a few of there work

    Full set.

    I paid for deluxe and they didn't even fix my ingrown toe nail. I also got full set and the nail polish they put on my nails looks see through, you can see something in the middle of the nails, they are really thick! They did such a fast job on my feet and nails. Lastly I know they were making fun of my legs because I had hair like that's not right Save your money

    Acrylic under the nail

    I called to see if there was any availability on 1/28/22 and was told to go ahead and come in. Lisa started my full set ( I don't know about anyone else but I don't like Multiple people working on my services) Once Lisa put on the nails, and shaped them, another customer came in and Lisa left me to work on her. The lady that came to finish my full set had some of my nails slanted and i had and I had To ask her to file multiple nails multiple times. On top of that she asked me if I had cash in the middle of my service because they forgot to mention that the card machine was down when I called. The lady made my nails really thick and they aren't consistent( see photos below). She left acrylic under my nail and I didn't want them fixed by the same shop let alone the same Person. The design is slightly sloppy and I will never be returning here

    Uneven and thick. Ugly design

    Probably the worst nails I've ever had done. Pictures speak for themselves. They charged me $60 for this bullsh*t!!!!

    I found this place in February of 2019 and they have done an AMAZING job on my nails each and every time. Lisa is great at designs and Brian is my go to for the perfect shape (I'm VERY particular and he never ceases to amaze me) I come religiously every two weeks at the same time (pre COVID), it's better to come in early when they first open. I CAN'T WAIT FOR THEM TO REOPEN!

    Gel manicure after acrylic nail removal.

    Came back to this spot after years and it looks a lot busier than I remember. The male nail tech is awesome, very friendly and gentle on the hands. Also, he has this dry humor that's hilarious. His personality reminds me of someone from the show - The Office. Received 3 services in total: Acrylic nail removal - Soak-off was fine, it took 15/20mins longer but I prefer it vs the traditional way. Gel Manicure - I didn't catch her name but she looked very young with a ponytail. Super nice and she excelled in nail shape. Gel Pedicure - it was ok... Lady was pretty rough on my feet and went exceptionally fast. Nail painting wasn't the greatest but you get what you need here.

    So I've been going to this place for awhile, and today they just did me completely dirty. Every time I go here, a guy does my nails. And I'm surprised he can do a better job at it than this girl who did my nails could. I went to get a Full Set/ Gel. The first picture with the pink polish was the first time I got it done. I went back maybe 10-15 mins later and told them that I was not happy with the way they looked. So the same girl redid them, and the second picture with the yellow polish was the aftermath. I told them POLITELY that I just wanted to remove these and I wanted my money back. They refused. And said they'd fix it. Keep in mind, I WAS ON A TIME LIMIT. I didn't have time to have the girl who did my nails remove the polish and reshape them to make them look even more shitty than they already are. Not to mention, as she was removing the polish the first time with the mechanical file, she cut my thumb. Honestly, the past few times I went here, I started loving this place. But after today, I am NEVER coming back!

    They are professional and nice and friendly people .. I would definitely come back in here again and recommend to everyone. Thank you for my beautiful nail design my hubby love it

    The service is very bad. Not satisfied with the results. The nails aren't even dried up. Sat there for more than 20 mins to let them dry with a fan!

    I was ripped off here. This place was recommended by a close friend since my shop in Fremont is closed on Monday's. Went in yesterday for brow threading. I informed the lady know that I only wanted her to clean around my brows. She did a horrible job. I left with hair that she didn't get but was obvious to see, and she had the audacity to use tweezers!! When it was time to pay, she said the service was $17.00! Due to my disbelief, I asked her the amount again, and she repeated $17! I was furious but didn't let it show. I gave her a $20 and walked out. I hope Lisa (the owner) reads this. If she was there, I would have reported this incident to her. I've been to many places for threading and this was by far the worst experience ever. I was robbed, I wouldn't be surprised if the lady pocketed the entire amount. If you're needing your brows threaded, avoid this place by all means. Go to Shiva in Fremont and ask for Aman. The price for threading is $7.00

    Why did I wait so long?! I love my eyebrows now!!! Mine were so wimpy and misshaped. I had…read morewanted to get my eyebrows done but put it off for various reasons. I'm so glad I found sweet Jenny at Brow+K-Beauty Lab. She was very detail oriented and listened. She was patient and kind. Her place had the ambiance of a spa. I love how she sent reminder texts and emails since life always seems to get so busy. She made my eyebrows look so natural and even. If you want to get lots of compliments, save tons of time in the morning, and get a great deal with a professional, this is definitely the place to try. Be sure to check out her deals on facials, too!! This place is a hidden gem!!

    Booked a Tuesday appointment for a back facial, because I've been searching everywhere for one in…read morethe East Bay and I was so excited when I found her website listing one for $120 for 60 minutes! Booked through the website, Paid my deposit and everything and was super excited for the experience. The description is: "Treat your back to a luxurious Back Facial that improves elasticity, hydration, and texture while stimulating collagen production for firmer, more youthful skin. With deep cleansing, exfoliation, and nourishing masks, this rejuvenating treatment revitalizes dry or uneven skin on your back, leaving it smoother and brighter." Got the confirmation text and email and confirmed everything. When I got there, Jenny very kindly informed me that she actually no longer does the back facials, she only does face facials now. I was definitely disappointed, but I had already driven there and had the day off, so I opted for the 10 step Korean facial instead ($199 before tip). She said that she was currently doing an offer for $199 instead of $300+, so I figured why not. This one is 90 minutes instead of 60 minutes. If it's your first time coming, I would recommend getting there 5 mins ish before your appointment so you can park and find the entrance to her room - there's a lot of other businesses here so I did have to take a lap to find the right door in the hallway. Pros: The whole facial experience was actually pretty great - the whole place is clean, easy parking out front. And it's very involved, in a good way. it includes massage to the face, shoulder, neck, arms, as well as all the regular facial stuff like extractions and a mask. She also uses the Plasonic machine (which can feel hot like it's burn/zapping your skin) but you can tell her if it feels too hot and she'll change the settings. She got rid of my blackheads with an ultrasonic skin scrubber and extracted all my whiteheads. There's also red light therapy. The studio is super clean, and Jenny is super sweet and nice, definitely easy to trust the Korean lady. I definitely would not mind coming back for another facial - I left there with my skin feeling super soft, she gave me some skincare tips, and it's a great location if you live in Castro Valley or San Leandro. I would definitely recommend wearing comfortable and thinner pants, because it gets pretty hot in the room with all the treatments. My highest praise would include that the extraction part wasn't as painful as other facials I've had, and the shoulder/neck/arm massage was surprisingly really helpful in relieving some pain I had from work! Cons: - I think it was really hard for me to give a 5, since I feel like I fell for false advertising thinking I was coming for a back facial. Things worked out in the end and I was due for a facial anyway - but I would have done some things differently (like not washed my hair beforehand, since it got a lot oilier after the scalp massage) if I had known I wasn't getting the back facial. Her service is great and I would highly recommend her for facials - and it sounds like her microblading is well appreciated too - but just be aware there are NO back facials here.

    I really wanted to love this place because the salon itself was beautiful and the staff was…read morefriendly, but unfortunately the prices and quality were incredibly disappointing. First, I was shocked that a basic kids' pedicure for my 8-year-old son cost $27. All they did was trim and clean his nails, followed by a short leg massage. That price seems extremely high for such a simple service, and there was never any discussion of pricing beforehand. The biggest issue, though, was my own nails. I paid about $55 for my gel manicure--$35 for gel polish, plus an additional $20 for a French tip and a small Mickey design. When I woke up the very next morning, less than 24 hours later, the entire gel polish had already peeled completely off one of my thumbnails. The French tip and Mickey design on other nails were also already lifting and peeling. I've never had a gel manicure fail this quickly. If I lived closer and didn't have to drive across the bridge, I would absolutely return to request a full refund because this level of quality is unacceptable. Between my dad, my two kids, and me, we spent close to $500, so we expected much better workmanship. My daughter's nails actually turned out great, so this review is strictly about the quality of my nails. One other thing that bothered me was my dad's pedicure. The staff kept offering him additional services during the appointment, and he kept saying yes without realizing each one came with an extra charge. By the end, his pedicure totaled over $100 plus tip. I really think pricing for add-on services should be clearly explained before they're performed so customers can make informed decisions. I've attached photos showing my thumbnail the morning after my appointment, along with photos I took the night before. It's incredibly disappointing to spend this much money and have a gel manicure start peeling in less than 24 hours.

I'm looking for a new tech so I stopped in after reading their good reviews. When I first walked in, no clients were in the salon so I would think that they would welcome business. The tech almost seemed bothered by my visit, wasn't welcoming or friendly. I engaged in some conversation throughout my service to no avail. The other staff weren't friendly either. It also didn't help that their young child was unruly the entire hour I was there. Screaming and running around. It was super annoying and unprofessional. TBH I'm not sure I would have minded the kid's tantrums if the service was better and I loved the place, but it just made it worse. I told her specifically I was looking for a new salon and tech, so I would think she would want to do a good job, or perhaps go above & beyond to gain a new client. Well, I got the bare minimum. In fact, in all the years I've gotten my nails done I've never had them done so fast. I had a fill, and was in/out in under 1 hr. It almost took more time to air brush the ombré than the actual fill. Normally I'd be OK with that, but her work was rushed and the final product showed. At first glance, my nails look beautiful, but when you take a closer look, they're not so great. The most annoying to me was, I asked for her to clean up underneath, and told her one nail was separating/lifting from underneath. It felt as though it was gonna snap off soon. She never did that. When she was done, I had to ask her to glue it to help hold down the nail, because it still felt "loose". Also, my real nails under the acrylic were sticking out from the side edges on several fingers. That drives me crazy! How do you miss that? Or is it just laziness? Well, that loose nail popped off, and 2 more are now loose. I also unfort had a reaction to a product or polish she used. All my finger tips and cuticles the next day were swollen, red and sore. This hasnt happened to me in a long time, but last time it did was due to either HEPA gel products, or bad/expired/old products. (It also has happened in the past due to dirty tools, and she did cut all my cuticles and edges with a nail clipper, but that is an unfounded assumption that I cannot prove.) At payment time, I was charged $75. but their website said $65 for the service I got. I did not question it, and I still gave her a good tip. She still did an ok job, and being in the service industry myself, I'm not going to begrudge her a tip. I just will not return. I'm glad that other clients have better experiences, maybe I got them on a bad day.
