This place has great pricing, conversations, AND cute nails!!! I don't think i'll be going anywhere else anymore after how much my sister and I liked the experience. We met dedicated customers who have been coming here for longer than I have been alive. I also want to mention that Kim is not only really great at nails, but a lovely person. Make reservations in advance if possible for groups/more than one person, as this is a smaller business. We still loved the experience with Kim, who was sweet and patient while doing both our manicures back to back. read more

I've been a Tsume client since I was about 11 years old. My first services were with Vicky, a beloved staff member who has since retired, and when I moved back to the area as an adult, returning to Tsume felt like coming home. Sally, the owner, is truly a master of her craft. She listens, makes thoughtful recommendations, and always considers my style. She introduced me to my all-time favorite shade--OPI Funny Bunny, and she does a perfect French manicure every time. As a working mom of a toddler and a dog owner, I'm hard on my nails. Tsume is the only salon that consistently gives me long-lasting, beautiful results. Sally is simply the best nail technician in the Bay Area: skilled, honest, and an all-around lovely person. Tsume will always be my go-to. read more

I'm sorry I hate to write bad reviews but this was truly the worst dip manicure/mani pedi experience I've ever gotten. The ladies were so nice, but they had me sit in a swivel chair and then did my pedicure - so no massage chair - and then had me rotate my torso 90° to the right for them to do my nails at the same time. I kept sliding back in my chair unless I fully engaged my core and legs to hold in place, which is not the relaxing vibe I was going for. It was physically uncomfortable to be twisted so far to the side, and the manicure is very bad. I got a dip manicure and they left the nail polish remover on my nails for too long so my nails kept and keep breaking. Additionally, they did not file down the sides or bottom of the dip, so it just looks really bad. I would not come back here. The French pedicure was good, but I can get that anywhere. read more

Tsume Nail Salon - Nail Salons Near Me - Los Gatos, California

My favorite place for pedicures. They have a handful of smaller, cozy rooms for pedicures instead of one big, loud room. This makes the vibe quiet and relaxing since there is only one or two other people in a room. read more

I live in the neighborhood and it was my first time here and am happy I found a nice, friendly, and clean nail shop that I can go to. All the other ladies working there are nice and friendly and it's in a great location. It's amazing how these ladies can fit me in, even last minute. Would definitely recommend this place, and we are planning on booking our next services as soon as we return. read more

The salon was clean, cozy, and had such a relaxing vibe. My nail tech was friendly, listened carefully to what I wanted, and delivered perfectly. I appreciated that she didn't rush and took her time on the details. The gel polish is super shiny and hasn't chipped at all after a week. I already booked my next appointment., read more

Poor communication skills. Would not suggest!! Staff would not return calls to make an appointment.

Sally and Cathy did a lovely gel manicure on my nails. I like to experiment with my nails and decided on a beautiful mauve color (#094) with silver chrome. They have a great selection of colors. The first and previous time I visited Tsume Nails was February 2024 and they had Korean jelly nails but I'm not sure if they offer that selection anymore and didn't ask. I hope to get jelly nails next time if it's still available! I'm happy with my nails this visit (as I was the last time). The silver chrome gives my nails a more festive feel. The lotion they used to massage my hands with smells so good. The women at this salon are always so pleasant and sweet! Looking forward to my next visit, thank you both Sally and Cathy! read more

I always get my nails done by Sally and I absolutely love her! She knows that I usually don't like getting my nails done (because I'm scared of the file lol ) and she always makes sure to be careful. Great salon overall! read more

A huge thank you to both Sally & Cathy! You two are fantastic! I've never been here before and had a bit of a nail emergency. Not only did they squeeze me in and even stay a little late for me, but did a spectacular job. I was very impressed by the way Cathy did my pedicure and paid such attention to detail. Likewise, Sally, listen to every word I said, and did my nails just the way I like them. I know that I'm a very picky customer and openly admit that. But she knows her stuff! She listened to what I said, made suggestions, and we both came to the perfect agreement on what to do. My nails turned out fabulous! If you're looking for a new nail place, or maybe you just want to try something because you've been a little dissatisfied in the past, this place. The atmosphere is wonderful and relaxing. Between the water fountain, the plants, relaxing music, and the rest of the decor, you will feel at ease. Thank you Sally for your wonderful salon. I understand why you've been here so long with the quality of work that you do. Your standards are high and it shows. read more

Tsume Nail Salon - My own real nails, which Sally was careful to protect. - Nail Salons Near Me - Los Gatos, California

I love every time I visit Tsume Nail Salon! Not only do they exceed my expectations with my manicures and pedicures, but they go above and beyond with their service. I went in for a gel pedicure and loved how Cathy cleaned up my feet and toes. She was gentle with her tools, but also very efficient. loved her massage too, by the way--thank you Cathy! I also got a gel manicure from Sally, who did my nails so flawlessly. Truly one of the best manicures I've ever gotten in my 20+ years of manicures. She was careful with maintaining the strength of my nails, shaping and filing. The location has separated rooms from pedicures and manicures which was a great vibe overall to relax and enjoy the services. If I could give a 6-star review, I'd give more stars, but definitely coming back for more. Thank you Sally and Tsume team! read more

Waste of money and time. I will never come back. It's extremely disappointing that the quality of service is such trash since I work down the street and coming here to get my nails done would have been so convenient. Either they don't have an esthetic eye, or they have no standards and pride in their work. In my opinion, being in the beauty industry myself, without these qualities you have no business doing this kind of work. Please for the sake of having some dignity, find a new career. I came in for my fist time and after 2 hours got the results of the fist pictures. After showing the owner herself, she apologized and did my nails again saying she will do her best work and take her time (1 hour and 20 min). Her work is in the last picture. I am embarrassed to walk around with these nails. read more

This was my second time at Tsume Nail Sal on, and I'm so glad I came back! After having such a great experience with their nail services before, I decided to try their lash extensions this time and wow, they did not disappoint!The technician was super patient and took the time to make sure every lash was perfect. I was a bit nervous since it was my first time getting lashes done, but they made me feel so comfortable. The process was relaxing, and the result is amazing my lashes look so full and natural, but not heavy at all.The salon is clean and cozy, and the staff are just so friendly and professional. Honestly, it feels like a little self-care retreat every time I come here. I'm absolutely hooked and will definitely be coming back for my fill soon! read more

If you are looking for a new nail salon to do your nails. They have more than 20 years of nail tech experiences. They really do take care of your nails. I've been coming here for a long time and my nails are always looking healthy. I've made a mistake going to other places and they thinned my real nails, but not at Tsume nail salon, it took me awhile for my nails to grow because my nails were so thin. I think it was because the other nail salons weren't experienced. However, Sally, Jackie, Vivian, Kim, Julie are trusted woman that can do everything. Love love this place! read more

Sally always does a great job on my nails. She offers suggestions on colors & designs.

Sally, the owner, is fantastic! I started going to Tsume in high school and have probably seen most of their nail technicians over the years, all of which are great! Now graduated from college, I consistently see Sally and my nails are always great. Before I come home to visit I always have a appointment set up for when I arrive and before I leave. The pedicures are wonderful as well, you can choose from different scented scrubs and masks, there is always paraffin wax, and great massage. They recently updated the interior over the last few years and it is such a nice and welcoming space. Many other services besides nails, and a great coffee/treat bar in back! Sally goes above and beyond for all her clients, don't miss out on Tsume Salon! read more

Tsume Nail Salon - Acrylic Full Set by Sally - Nail Salons Near Me - Los Gatos, California

I grew up in Los Gatos but I didn't get into fake nails until a few years ago after I moved to downtown LA. I'm visiting my parents here in town to recover from a surgery I had in LA last week. I didn't have a chance to deal with my grown out nails before I left. I got so pissed I just cut all my acrylics off last night thinking I could deal with them all ripped up and short and rough even after filing and buffing. It would only be for a week. I didn't even last 12 hours. I called Tsume Nails today around 12pm to see if I could come in. They said yes and I was seated in there 20 minutes later. I'm used to sitting in salons silent, eyes averted like a lab animal being experimented on. I was attended to by Kayla, who was so sweet and friendly - she even asked my name! I'm not really a micromanagement salon ogre but I still appreciated that Kayla was very attentive to me throughout the process, checking with me to make sure I was happy. So much attention given to details! The final result is beautiful. Thank you! read more

Beautiful salon - nicely decorated, very clean, updated with all new high quality equipment. Great service - my mom got a pedicure from Kathy and said she was super nice. She also gave her an amazing massage. My mom felt that Kathy was very attentive and my mom really appreciated that she took her time. Kathy did an awesome job. My mom also got a manicure from Ann, she did a good job as well. In regards to Covid - all staff are wearing masks and they have screens between guests and staff for all services offered. Amazing location in downtown Los Gatos with ample parking. Highly recommend! read more

My whole life my nails have been incredibly weak, brittle and thin to the point of it being painful so I have to get acrylic on my nails to protect them. I'm a nurse and cannot have chunky big fake nails, and I have trouble with other methods of protecting my nails such as dip and gel don't last but a few days on me. Sally does the most beautiful set of acrylic every time I see her without fail! They always look so clean and natural! AND without fail, can last up to 3 weeks if I need! Always smiling and always willing and eager to make her clients happy as well! She's the best there is! I recommend her 150% , 10x over ! and promise you will not be disappointed ! read more

Hands down the worst gel manicure I've ever had. Length and shape is uneven, gel thickness is super thick, I have paint on the fingers, missing paint along the French tip and the clear coat doesn't cover the nail bed at all. When I showed the mail tech what I wasn't happy with, she didn't care. All she said was "it's good"... Currently trying to find a new spot to go to to get them fixed. read more

What I asked VS what I got. Two hours later... the pic says enough. Waste of time and money I work in the beauty industry if you can't or don't feel comfortable doing something SAY it and please don't waste my time or money. Multiple cuts and every nail completely uneven. Very very unprofessional considering downtown Los Gatos. read more

It's very hard for them to understand their customers and vis versa. They had me look through all kinds of nail polishes to tell me 10 min later that I can only look in the number 400 and up because they are gel. Thanks for telling me that earlier... What a waste of time. One worker who I think is on charge is rude and walks away while I am talking to her. Thanks...The owner actually came up to me just now and explained things, which was understood, but again, nobody else can really communicate with me. So frustrated and don't need this hassle and confusion. High End? Funny, not at all high end. No water offered, no greeting. I will not be back here as I can't communicate with them and they only have 1 type of pedicure. No upgrades. Ok... read more

I went in as a walk-in wanting an acrylic fill-in and a design which the staff agreed they could do. This appointment took over 2 hours ending with the woman who was originally working on the design being replaced with another. I wanted yellow but the polish seemed to be giving them trouble so I asked if I should pick another color for the first woman and she said no even though the design was turning out pretty choppy. Once the 2nd woman stepped in it did not get better it looked nothing like the picture and I noticed she was putting on a top coat when the nails weren't done. She said that we have run out of time and that if I wanted it to be done nicer I need to make an appointment. I am seriously displeased as I wish they were honest about not being able to do this design in the first place within the time constraint that I didn't even know we have. The appointment ended with 2 nicks to my fingers and a bad paint job. I had this exact design done somewhere else where I needed the whole acrylic done and it took under 2 hours and came out great. I am going to a different nail place tomorrow to get this fixed. *The owner has been in touch, and I will post another review in July. read more
