it was good nails looked nice there was a massage and it was good. The vibes were good

I am not the one to write bad reviews or point every negative thing but I had really high expectations for this place since it had alot of good reviews. I went in last friday 06/19 with an appointment time. The lady who did my pedicure seemed like she was in a rush the whole time.. I got the cell treatment pedicure with gel. I didn't even get the full 5 minute massage because it seemed like she wants to attend to other customers that just came in. I was looking forward to it as my feet have been aching. I also saw on the receipt after I paid that I got charged $5 extra.. Isn't it $50? Amy did my gel manicure and I did like how my nails came out however, they just started peeling today.. I thought they were supposed to last for a couple of weeks. Unsure as to why they started to peel off. Overall, I just wished my experience was just as good as the other reviews. read more

This is a great place for nails, pedicure and waxing. I love that they are on top of new technologies. They have a new AI nail lamp that it is safe for your skin, just ask for it when you get your nails done. Cindy does a great job with using gel to make your nails look natural. Amy is the best for pedicures, she is great cleaning ingrown nails. Bella is amazing with waxing, she just waxed my husband ears and nose hairs and he is super happy. Give Vanessa nails spa a try! read more

They always let you pick a little gift out too which is super nice! read more

The ladies are extremely nice ! Every time I go, they're not busy so I'm seen immediately. I also commend how they deal with difficult customers. This lady came in, got mad that not everyone greeted her (they were busy) and then said it was because of her skin color - what!!! Anyways, the ladies handled it very professionally. I recommend them !!! read more

I always come to beauty queen nails. My nails last about 3-4 weeks. These are purple and white ombre Easter egg themed. Amy and I came up with these just in time for the new holidays read more

Venessa Nails Spa - Easter egg nail design by Amy - Nail Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

Pros: -never busy -never a wait -always get tended to right away -most of the ladies who work here are older but very sweet -Michelle the owner is just wonderful. Remembers me even though it's been months. Always greeting everyone. That's why it makes me sad to have to give such a low rating... Cons: As you can see from my picture, they do a sloppy job. Probably 70% of the time. But I come because there no wait, the ladies although there's a definite language barrier are sweet enough. And I figure I'll be back to have them done in 2 weeks anyway. But this recent visit might just be my last. Just too messy. I'm sorry. read more

Venessa Nails Spa - What is going on here!!?!?.. and No, my 5 year old did not do my nails - Nail Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

I got my nails done by Amy .. she always does a great job.. all the ladies are amazing and extra friendly.. Thank you Amy read more

Venessa Nails Spa - Got my nails at Beauty Queen.. always a pleasure getting my nails by Amy ... all the ladies are always super nice .. Thank you Amy - Nail Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

I had been going to this nail shop for a few months with my significant other but what stopped us both was, I went in to get my nails done/pedicure and they charged him $92. read more

Beauty Queen Nails is an unpopular nail salon. They're never insanely busy whenever I pay a visit. However, I still call in to book an appointment just to be safe. :) They recently renovated half of the salon, but the interior still leaves a lot to be desired. The employees here are super nice and have always done exceptional work on my nails. Nancy was my manicurist the past couple of times and I left really happy with her work! Shellac nails ($25) with chrome ($10) + regular pedicure ($15) came out to $50. Not bad! read more

Love going here. Prices are great, I have never been over charged like most places. The girls are friendly and listen to special requests. There is never a long wait but calling in first will guarantee you a chair. One plus is that they remember everyone, makes you feel like your business is appreciated. read more

After a few nice visits alone, I decided to share with my mama what will be our new spot. I like this place. I don't feel rushed. I feel I am getting my $$'s worth and leaving relaxed & satisfied. The girls are accommodating and nice, having done all I request. I've witnessed an unpleased customer rudely display her dissatisfaction to the girls. (From where I was sitting, her nails just needed a bit of clean up, but she refused) However, the girls handled it as calmly and as best as they can and of course, discounted her. Shocker... Running a business is difficult at times, as you cannot please everybody, nobody is perfect and WE ALL HAVE MADE MISTAKES. Give second chances and communicate thoroughly what it is you want. And if you're still unsatisfied, then maybe that business really wasn't for you in the first place. Or, Your hands and feet are just unattractive and can't be beautified. Just kidding. Maybe. In my opinion, Yelp can be businesses's nightmare. I don't Yelp much at all, but when I do, I will only leave positive reviews. If I have a negative service or a complaint, I will reach out to owners and staff. But if a business has rude staff members or repeated bad service,(lack of proper training) those will be reasons for some YELPIN! You will win some, and you lose some. BeautyQueen Nails, they definitely won me over ;) May you have much success! read more

I just finished getting my nails done here, will elaborate more when my nails are dry! Edit: 03/19/08 Finally they revamped this ghetto area on White Road and made it somewhat classy! Ask for Van and Haha (yes that's her name), they're a funny duo and will keep you entertained with stories of Van's obscure married neighbor with feminine tendencies, and give you tip on how to make great pho. But before they broke the ice, I got the typical nail salon vibe where they speak Vietnamese and periodically stare at you to indicate that they're talking shit. That didn't last long coz as soon as we met gaze I gave them a dirty look and out came their English. Yeeaah what now!? Better WORK for your tip beezy's!! Anyway, I got my manicure and pedicure done at the same time. Haha used to work for Mary Queen nails down on McKee Rd. but her sister opened up shop and now works here at Beauty Queen Nails. She did a great job in making my toes all cute and prettified! I've never had it look this perfect before! You know how some nail technicians take a little too much meat off that you feel the pinch? Well I got none of that, she was quite gentle actually. I got the basic manicure from Van coz I wasn't really feeling the whole french manicure, gel/acryllic or airbrush crap that I see most girls get. I like my nails looking neat, trimmed, and painted - nothing fancy. Even though this was a basic manicure, she still did a great job. Some nail techs don't really take the time to make sure that their work looks great, but Van totally did. The fact that I was the only customer during that time probably had a lot to do with their job being done perfectly because they're not being rushed, yes? Anyway, they finished and my nails were all nice and pretty again, wrapped up my conversation with them both and paid my $20 (regularly $23) for their service and left a five dollar tip for them both. I was almost going to get my eyelash extensions (for $30!!!) but I decided to wait on it til maybe next week. These supposedly last for 2 weeks. They take Visa here, but let them know before hand that you'll be putting tip on your card so they can ring it up with the service. FYI, they just opened up last week, and are currently giving 15% off all services. I'll for sure recommend this place to friends, so definitely check them out! There's also a Subway next door if your bf doesn't wanna get a manicure with you so he can munch there for 30 minutes. read more

It's been a while since my last update. Most of all the people in the aforementioned review have left and been replaced. I still go to Michelle (the owner). She's super friendly and talkative. She's the only one who does my eyebrows the way I like it. If I'm getting a solid color pedi, I don't mind going to any of the other girls there. BUT- if I want a French tip pedicure, Michelle is the only one who can freehand it, so I prefer her over the girls. She's always so busy doing nails though, so it's rare to get her to do your pedicures. read more

Just remember to never rub your eyes. Also ask for Hoa if you're planning on getting acrylics. She does a fantastic job of getting them thin and very natural looking. She gets snippy and bossy sometimes, but since she's the owner of the nail salon ...she IS the boss. Have I mentioned that I love how it's clean and there's always tons of parking..always. read more
