    The owner Van is sooooo sweet and accommodating. From my first visit and encountering her other clients, she's so timely. I am surprised. I had set an appointment but from past experiences... I'd always end up being taken in far later from my appointment so I came early but was seen on time! Surprise surprise! And I hadn't initially setup the appt for a manicure but she decided to include when a client had to cancel last minute.. during her starting my manicure that client ended up being able to come in anyway and Van came up with a time on the spot and she finished with me minutes before then! I'm amazed because I have never seen nail appointments ever being on time... and I saw it twice on my first visit. She is also so clean and meticulous. I had no idea how much dry skin I've incurred. She kept cleaning even during and after painting my nails. I don't recall my nails ever being cleaned so thoroughly lol. If we piled my dry skin altogether I'd be embarrassed. I also adore her sweet personality. I can see why her clients come back even after moving a state away.. and why they bring their family and friends. I can't wait to come back and how lucky am I to live closeby to do so. Cheers to prettier and happier toes and nails

    Gel mani with glitter design $30

    I had a nail appointment yesterday with Van and she did an amazing job with my gel mani and regular pedi! I needed my nails done in a pinch since I was traveling out of town for my wedding reception and Van was able to fit me in. Since it's still Covid times, an appointment is necessary for any service. The salon itself was clean but this was definitely a no frills zone. There are no TVs or bubbling creek/spa ambience. The decor and massage chairs are a bit outdated and faded but the services are top notch. Because Van currently only takes appointments and is the only nail tech in the salon, she does the pedi first then the mani. She took her time with my mani/pedi, I think also because I was the last appointment of the day. I showed her a pic of what design I wanted and she delivered. Price is pretty good for the Bay Area too: $30 for gel mani and $30 for regular pedi, not including tip. Covid restrictions are still in place (ie: masks and plastic dividers between client and tech). But it didn't affect the services. I'd definitely go to Van again when I need my nails done. She is a sweetheart!

    Rose gold looking ombré tips with sparkles. If you like the color it's called June Bride!

    It was my first time here and Van was super patient and sweet with me. I told her I usually get a French manicure but kind of tired of it. She suggested the ombré and tested out a bunch of colors for me until I was happy. I also really appreciate that she took her time and didn't rush the process even though I was her last appointment. I ended up with a color that looks rose gold-ish and she suggested I try a mermaid mix one of these days. I love my rose gold looking ombré tips and am already planning on what I want next time I come back to Van!

    I really like Van's work on my nails. She takes the time to do my manipedis and always does great work. Her salon never reeks of chemicals and never gets too loud. I don't end up feeling like some racecar being worked on by a pit crew like at other salons that have chairs lining the walls and where two or more girls work on you at one time so they can crank out customers. Her work is methodical and I never have to worry about sharp tools going way too fast for my comfort. When I get distracted by all the glittery nail polishes she helps me pick out colors based on what I like and what would look good with my skin tone Appointments are highly recommended, and totally worth it.

    Halloween nails by Van!! :)

    Okay been coming here for a while now ever since the first few fateful times with Van and Lucy. And they have officially converted me. However this is not your typical salon, Van and Lucy are great in all the ways that you want and need without all the frills that bigger salons have. But if you want all the frills and pushy-ness go for it. Not my cup of tea is all. A few important things you should do is try and make an appt if you are planning on getting a mani-pedi. There are only two stations and a lot of the time Van is by herself. Although Van is one of the most hardworking people and always makes sure she goes out of her way to make you happy.

    I absolutely love coming to Van. She is the owner of the shop and knows what she is doing. I have been coming to her for 5 yrs now and never go to anyone else. She is very patient and takes time to work on your hands and feet. She has almost cured the bunions I had on my toes (for all my life) when I first started coming here. Don't go by the modest look of the place. She has a great selection of quality nail paints and her service is great. I have even been to her during Covid times ever since they allowed salons to open. She takes one person at a time and is a cleanliness freak herself. You will see her wiping down everything with clorox even when you are with her. I feel a lot safer coming for manicure, pedicure and waxing than going to a restaurant :) would highly recommend her.

    Van is amazing - she is very patient, doesn't rush through the job (pedicure takes almost an hour and manicure another 45 minutes). She also gives you a nice foot massage. Plus her place is very clean- she takes only 1 customer at a time ( much appreciated in these Covid times).

    Pauline G.

    Super happy with the service and COVID measures in place. Van will take her time and do things right - even recommended good everyday care

    Had a great experience at Starlite with Van on my Gel manicure and Pedicure. Right from appointments till walking out Van made it easy and comfortable. She was very patient the whole time and definitely honors your appointment time. Her place is clean and she packed the manicure set for me to take home in a ziplock which was really nice (that way it confirms this place doesn't reuse other ppl's). Will be going back. Thanks Van!.

    Very clean salon with all COVID-19 prevention requirements

    I have been Van's client for years. I love her clean and private salon where you are the only customer. Van spends a lot of time on cleaning the nails and take care of my skin. I love having pedicure the most, since I sit in the massaging chair while Van does her magic with my toes. Van removes cuticles very nicely. I always have baby feet after Van's treatment. Since the salon is small, my husband likes to go their with me. He wouldn't go anywhere else, where more clients are present. My husband and I visited Van recently during the quarantine and COVID-19 situation. We were surprised how seriously she takes the safity of her clients. Van gave us face shields and wiped everything with alcohol wipes. It felt very safe. We highly recommend this place at this difficult time.

    A very heavy duty emery board, a little Peach buffer, and a yellow pumice stone for my heels!
    Laur C.

    This was a wonderful relaxing experience, as my feet sat in a whirlpool bath of hot water for a pedicure, and I sat in a really strong massaging chair, this sweet lady, Van, cleaned up my cuticles, massaged my feet and offered me hot tea, she was very kind, friendly and accommodating and was a great example of top notch customer service! Lots of parking outside... a very calm peaceful experience with relaxing music... after using some of the tools that she used on me, she gave me a little bag of them to take home because of course using the highest standards of cleanliness these would not be reused by another person so I thought that was very thoughtful! I usually don't like my feet but I think she made them look as pretty as possible :-) I will be back again when I'm in the San Jose area!

    Credits to Van, love my new manicure!

They use high-quality products that never leave my hair feeling dry or fried. What I appreciate most is the honesty.

Honestly, I still get compliments on my highlights even 6 months afterwards! You can tell they put their clients first, not just the payout. Insider Tip: They are rightfully very busy! They do welcome walk-ins, but it's definitely not guaranteed. Do yourself a favor and book an appointment in advance. Honor your appointment time or else you might need to get back in the queue.

I was browsing various salons on YELP and…read morehappened to come across this location as it was right down the street from where I live. called this location on a Saturday afternoon asking if they were accepting walk-ins and the lady I spoke to on the phone said yes. I came in 10 minutes later and upon walking in I was approached by the lady I spoke to on the phone, her name was My. She was the absolute sweetest lady ever! She took me into her chair and asked me what I wanted. I told her my hair was dead (I was previously blonde then went brunette and just got tired of my hair breaking from brushing my hair) I told her I wanted a medium length, straight blunt cut. She listened to my concerns and even had suggestions on how to take better care of my hair. She then washed my hair and started snipping away. She cut it medium length and last minute I wanted to cut it shoulder length LOL. I just wanted to start all over again as my hair grows pretty fast anyways. She was so sweet and didn't even mind that I wanted to cut more off last minute. When I tell you she took her time with my hair, she took her time! My was so easy to talk to that it felt like I knew her forever. I can honestly say that I'll be back to see her for all future hair cuts and trim touch-ups! Like just LOOK at my hair, she did absolutely amazing and I feel amazing. Thank you My for blessing my hair and I!

The moment Yvonne started cutting my hair, I can immediately see that she is professionally trained. I had a salon back in the Philippines so I know when a hairdresser is really trained. Also, their pricing is very reasonable. I've been so happy with the result! Thank you Yvonne. I will definitely recommend you and the salon to my family and friends!!!

I'm very picky with my hair and have been blonde for over a decade, so finding a reliable stylist in the Bay after moving from OC was important to me. Unfortunately, the scheduling process was frustrating. The website was confusing if you don't know the exact service names and kept logging me out, so I had to restart multiple times. Communication was also difficult,I had to follow up more than once and even call just to confirm my appointment. The day before, I was told Cindy had an emergency and needed to reschedule. I understand things happen, but I had seen similar reviews mentioning cancellations. We rescheduled, but I ended up getting sick and had to cancel. Getting my deposit back required multiple follow-ups, and I was initially refunded the wrong amount, which I had to correct. They were really apologetic which I appreciated. I can't speak to the actual quality of the hair services, but from a scheduling and communication standpoint, it was a hassle. Since I know I'll need consistent, ongoing appointments as a blonde, I'm really looking for somewhere with easy, reliable booking. Unfortunately, this experience felt too difficult, so I'll keep looking for other options!
