    BTS Arirang pedicure

    First Russian pedicure experience! Anastasia did an absolutely meticulous and beautiful job getting by my feet BTS Arirang concert-ready (iykyk). Mimi took care of husband with men's pedicure including "cracked skin treatment." He says his toes have never looked better. This will be our go-to place from now on. Everyone was very professional and took the time to make things perfect. Thank you so much.

    I've been getting my nails done here for about 6 months and each time they are perfect. Structured gel lasts about 3 weeks for me and never cracks or chips. The attention to detail and cuticle work here is so so good. I've gone to a few techs and they're all great, but Adina is my favorite.

    It's been 2 weeks and my nails are still amazing! I had the polygel extension which I've not had before but it's so much better than tips. Typically I have problems with tips breaking off. I also did the French manicure and it's done very well, tips painted on where I requested and uniform across all the nails. I'm very impressed and will be back! I've included a picture and note this is TWO weeks after!

    Amazing Russian Manicure that my cuticles so clean. Julia did my nail, very detailed and neat. The quality is good . Highly recommend

    Gel Manivure
    Cathy T.

    My first time getting a manicure that cleaned up my cuticles so nicely! I opted for the gel pedicure and gel manicure. With the manicure I noticed that they were actually placing a gel base on my nails and "gel construction" to shape some of my nails that had less nail to work with. This is great because my pointer fingernails don't grow naturally square like some of my other nails.

    I found a great nail place ! The nail tech was very attractive to detail and my nails have never looked so beautiful!

    I was originally given a gift card to VALENAILS for my birthday and saved it for a special occasion. When I first made an appointment I was already amazed by the service they offer here by asking me if I would like coffee, water, or tea and chocolates! The ambience is also very calm and welcoming. Their attention to detail and keeping up with all sanitation/ cleanliness is impeccable. I returned back most recently to receive a pedicure and am so happy. I will definitely continue my nail appointments here !

    Russian Manicure + Gel with Zamira
    Saraya B.

    I've been to Vale Nails a couple of times in the past, but for the last year, I had been seeing someone who used to work there. Unfortunately, her prices skyrocketed, so I found myself back at Vale--and I'm so glad I scheduled a Russian Gel Manicure with Zamira. I'm the kind of person who doesn't talk much during a manicure or pedicure. I talk enough at work, so being able to sit quietly and listen to a podcast for almost an hour and a half was honestly perfect for me. Zamira was respectful of that, which I appreciated. For anyone who prefers a more chatty appointment, I'd recommend calling ahead to ask which technicians are more conversational. I've seen one or two techs in the past who also kept things quiet--it seems to be more of a cultural thing, which I personally don't mind at all. I was greeted right away and offered water, coffee, or tea. The service was prompt and professional, and I left with a simple single-color manicure in a soft pink that I love for its clean, understated look. Best place to get your nails done if you want perfect cuticles and nails!

    Updating to 5 stars because the online portal is now current on pricing. Also, with the quality of work, my manicures last 4-5 weeks! Julia is who I usually book with. She is friendly and gets my nails perfect every time!

She has such an artistic eye and somehow can take any inspiration photo or random idea I bring in and make it look elegant, refined, and flattering on my hands. Her shaping is what keeps me coming back. The nails never come out thick or bulky like so many places do. They look slim, feminine, clean, and beautifully balanced every single time. What I also appreciate is that she genuinely takes her time. You can tell she cares about the details and takes pride in her work instead of rushing clients through. On top of that, she is warm, friendly, and easy to talk to, which makes the whole experience relaxing. Finding someone who can consistently do beautiful, natural-looking nails with this level of precision is honestly rare. So happy I found this place.

    Great nails, but unprofessional and predatory payment practices…read more I have been coming to this salon on and off for the last few years living in San Carlos. While the mani-pedis are consistently wonderful, the staff's attitude is hit-or-miss, and after today, I will not be returning. As a stay-at-home mom, I was looking forward to using a $100 gift card a friend gave me for some much-needed "me time." My $70 service was lovely, but the experience turned sour the moment I tried to pay. I asked to use the full gift card to cover the service and the tip (which my friend had specifically allotted for). The staff flat-out refused, insisting that tips must be paid separately via Venmo, Zelle, or cash. When I asked them to show me where this policy was posted--or if they disclose to people buying gift cards that they can't be used for the full service--they couldn't give me an answer. Instead of honoring the store credit, they brought the manager over to pressure me into paying through an app or walking to the bank and getting cash. They made such a public scene that another customer actually offered me cash because she thought I couldn't afford the service. It was humiliating, unnecessary, and felt like a blatant attempt to avoid credit card fees or taxes at my expense. When someone bought that gift card, the salon received $100 in cash immediately. By refusing to let me use that money for a tip, they are essentially saying: "We're keeping the $30 left on this card for ourselves until you come back and spend more money, but we still want you to pay our employee extra today." It's a "double-dip" strategy to ensure I remain a repeat customer or leave money on the table. One common excuse salons give is that they don't want to pay credit card fees on a tip. But with a store-issued gift card, there is no processing fee for them to "run" it at the register. The fee was already paid (or not) when the card was originally purchased. Using the balance at the desk costs the owner $0.00. California law is very strict. If a business allows tips on credit cards, they cannot deduct fees from the worker's tip. By forcing me to use Venmo or Zelle, the owner is likely trying to: Avoid reporting the tip as income (tax evasion). Avoid the paperwork of paying the tip out to the technician through their payroll system. It is incredibly disappointing that a relaxing afternoon ended with me being ganged up on over a payment method. If you plan to use a gift card here, be prepared for a confrontation.
