Emily is amazing! She cares about her customers and is so personable! The best manicure every time!

I booked an appointment with Emily after reading her Yelp reviews, and I'm so glad I did. I hadn't had my nails done in years because of bad past experiences and I was also dealing with painful ingrown toenails on both big toes. Emily immediately put me at ease and took such great care of my toenails. The relief I felt afterward was incredible. She really takes her time and never made me feel rushed, which was very important to me. She's incredibly sweet, easy to talk to, and makes you feel completely comfortable. You can truly tell she loves what she does and cares about her clients. Her little studio is super cute, very clean, and has such a chill, relaxing vibe. I absolutely love my nails, and her massages feel amazing. Emily has definitely gained a loyal customer, and I'd highly recommend stopping your search and booking an appointment with her! Thank you, Emily! read more

I was in need of fixing up my claws for Halloween and since my go to is on maternity leave; I headed to Yelp and found Emily. I texted her and she was able to schedule me in the following day which was amazing that she had a 4pm Saturday slot open. I sent her a few inspo the night before so when I got there she was ready to work on my overgrown claws. I had accidentally cut myself the night before and she took great care to work around the injury. She was very meticulous with her work which I appreciated. 10/10 for care and service read more

Highly recommend coming here and getting your nails done from Emily. She's super sweet and easy going, thorough, and pays attention to detail. I got my builder gel nails removed and Emily recommended getting gel builder nails as they're less thicker and keep your real nails healthy. We had a nice conversation and it passed the time while she was doing my nails. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Emily did such a beautiful job on my nails! I requested to keep my nails short, but enough to reshape as square with round edges. At first, I was afraid my nails were too short to reshape and I told her I'm okay with having nail tips too, she carefully observed and suggested my natural nails are healthy and a simple gel polish will achieve the look I want. She delivered! And I'm so glad to agree with her suggestion! She carefully takes her time to perfect each nail and is so professionally skillful at what she does. I absolutely love my nails! I thoroughly enjoyed talking to her too, she is so cute and funny! We laughed a lot about anything and everything! I finally found my go to nail artist! read more

I started going to Emily last summer and was so glad that I found her in the Aborn/Silver Creek May Salon Suites. Emily who I fondly call "Em" does manicures and pedicures. Because it's just her in the suite, it's very relaxing and she totally takes her time with you. She's very kind and will aak you what you want to achieve in your mani or pedi. I've gotten both services done by her and I love her style of working and treatments. I feel that her prices are decent and you can pay cash or via a cash application like (Cash App or Zelle) which helps a lot of out when we forget to make a trip to the bank. I must also mention that there is a lot of parking and several nearby businesses for one to multitask before or after an appointment. The shop is located near the freeway and major roads for easy access. Give Emily a try...I don't think you'll be disappointed at all. If you feel any type of disappointment, just tell her and she'll do her best to make things right. read more

For the price and quality of her work, I am so glad I found Emily and I will definitely be paying her more visits in the future! read more

Emily is so friendly and she is talented with a steady hand. I appreciate that she puts in great time and effort to making your nails look the way you want it. I took a couple of stars off due to the quality of the gel and builder gel that she uses. She did a French builder gel fill on my nails and I was obsessed with how beautiful my manicure turned out. However, the brand that she uses for the builder gel is low quality. How I know this? It's because I have purchased the same brand that she uses at DTK Nails Supply in downtown San Jose that costs between $5-$13 per bottle. Due to the subpar quality gel and builder gel, it started lifting around the cuticle area. My nails are less than a week old. I paid $85 for the manicure which is pretty steep for low quality materials. I would love to return to her business, but until she uses higher quality brands, I won't be returning. Her work is really impressive and I am sad that it didn't work out for me. read more

Emily is the BEST! She has been doing my Nails for over a year now. She has been taking care of my nails. When I first came in I had short nails and they were weak.

Emily also is great with pedicures. She always makes sure I am satisfied with shape & color. Her salon is so relaxing and the atmosphere gives absolute comfort. read more

Emily did a good job and was detail oriented in both nail and cuticle care. While the nails were cute and she was kind, they weren't exactly what I asked for. I was very clear about what I wanted prior and during the appointment with pictures shown, but she added chrome on both without my request, and was going to charge me $20 extra. I have never had chrome add-on before, therefore I didn't know what she added during the finishing coat. She also touched and used her phone frequently during the appointment, which didn't feel very hygienic. I also noticed that my credit card was charged more than the amount I paid in person. read more

Emily is the best manicurist I've ever been to, and I've been coming to her for years. She moved to this new location which is less convenient for me, but absolutely worth the drive! I've tried all the nail salons in my area that have more than 4 star ratings, and Emily is by far the best. She's very gentle but thorough, and the gel always lasts a minimum of 2 weeks for me. When I can't make it in to change, they'll last 3 weeks without chipping, and 4 weeks with minor chips. Incredible! read more
