I'll keep the rating at 4 stars as this has only happened twice now, but did want to say a couple of things in regards to my most recent experience: 1) if you're going to accept appointments, you shouldn't accept walk-ins that will overlap with that appointment time 2) if you know you are running more than 15 minutes behind, you should call or text your customer to let them know. I never walk-in to salons/restaurants and only make appointments/reservations because my time is precious and I hate waiting around. It's disrespectful to your customer's time to not at least give them a heads up. I was waiting 40-45 minutes past my appointment time today and left in the middle of what I was doing to get here on time for you. In the same way you would not take me 45 min late, it's unacceptable to do so with me. Please give me a call or text next time as I'd like to continue being a regular here; that's all I ask. Thanks. read more

I have been going to Venice Nail Salon for years. It's not fancy but the manicurists are really good. Mai is my go to person. My pedicure is always a treat and lasts really well. Thank you Mai! read more

I've never written a review before this but after what I experienced today I needed to leave one. The woman who did my nails today took the builder gel off of my nails when I asked for a fill multiple times. She either didn't know what I was saying or just didn't care. Then proceeded to push my cuticles back with her fingernails while I winced in pain. She seemed to push them too far back and cut too deep because I started bleeding. She tried to remedy it by gluing my skin? and then she proceeds to poorly paint my nails. She did nothing I asked for today. Yet I still paid and tipped. Just save yourself the time, money, and energy and go elsewhere. read more

This business is a neighborhood gem. The staff are all excellent at mania and pedis. The suite is at the back of the building with large windows for natural light. It's clean but the decor is not the reason to go here. The pedicure is the best for the price in our area. read more

I got acrylics done here and they did a great job! I've tried going in several times after and they never have an opening. I definitely wouldn't try this place if you're wanting same day. It's actually very annoying. They don't even let you wait they've always just told me no. They should have a sign that says appointments only. It sucks because I'm across the street but I won't be making this my go to place because I like walk-ins. There's so many nail salons, they should staff better. read more

Really happy with my decision to try this place out while my husband got his haircut at another place in this center :) I called ahead and when I got there she was ready for me right away, which is always nice! I got a sugar scrub, hot rocks and a nice massage!! And she did great on the pedicure :) Price was super reasonable!!! read more

Great! One of the few places I am not scared to get chipped while getting my nails. They are very careful and gentle. Small & cute place, clean, well maintained. read more

Best nail techs ever!! In this nail salon they truly care about their customers and the customer's nails This is not like other salons where they rush you and damage your natural nails. I've been to so many salons and I finally found the one I love! The environment there is really nice and the prices are really good for the quality of work they do. I do recommend to make a appointment. read more

I came in 3 hours before closing to remove my gel polish. They told me they were "too busy". I would have been more than happy to wait. Mind you, there was no one else waiting for service... I don't think they were interested because it would have been a cheap service. Anyway, that sucked... read more

Nail Salon does not present a PRICE LIST! #1 This is a violation of California and local laws. #2 Prices are arbitrary - They look at you and decide the price. #3 Nothing in the store is marked with pricing, and services costs not displayed - Arbitrary. When confronted with the Manager or Owner - they claim that they ordered a List... A Price list can be temporary hand written on a sheet of paper pending a printed one. read more

I called in advance looking for an appointment. The person on the phone asked me a lot of questions about what I want. It was a simple set of acrylic nails, and I explained that my nails where short and I wanted them longer. She told me that it was okay, and she setup an appointment two hours after our conversation. I arrived on time to my appointment, but the person hosting told me to come back later because they didn't have time to do my nails. Apparently, the person who I talked to put me only for a regular manicure. The person that answers the phone should be a person with better understanding and communication skills. I waste my time coming to this place and I didn't get my nails done. read more

Came to this salon while on vacation. I was really happy they were able to fit me in super quick. Kim and Mai did an amazing job on my manicure and pedicure!! The massage they gave with the service was just what I needed and they made my gross cuticles and nails look really good! I will definitely come back next time I am in the area. Wonderful service and great prices! Bring cash, especially for tips!!! read more

I haven't gotten my nails done in a few years because my last experience at a salon wasn't a great one so I was a bit skeptical but I had a wonderful experience! There was a bit of a wait time despite me making a reservation but that was the only downside. I showed the nail tech a picture of nails I found online and she did an amazing job making my nails look just like the picture! They were very kind, open to my requests, and my nails did not cost as much as I thought they would. I will definitely be back! read more

I went in for a full set, asked for pink and white ombré. The nail technician said I had to tell her later, I told her I thought it was specific powder and she kept saying later later. After she put acrylic on me she gave me a box of gel colors to choose from. I explained again I wanted pink and white ombré and she said I should have told her earlier. I had to to choose a color and left with really thick deformed nails. Now I have to go somewhere else to get them off and replaced with what I want. read more

Venice Nail Salon - Thick nails - Nail Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

Get the spa pedi, it is heavenly! This little hidden gem is tucked away from the busy San Carlos side and is a great place to relax. It is such a treat every time I come here for my pedi. The ladies are all so sweet and do an amazing job every time. My nails absolutely look perfect after I leave and they last for a long time too! Their prices are so affordable, it's worth it. Make an appointment cause the salon isn't too spacious. Highly recommend trying out their pedi if you're in the area. The massage with hot stones, Amazingg! read more

Asked for a fill, my nails were only 2 weeks out and she took them all off . (But they were completely fine because it was my first set in almost a year) and charged me for a full set. Also didn't do the manicure cuticle thing that I asked for because she said she was too busy. At least they look ok read more

I received a pedicure and the nail tech was very gentle with my feet, which I prefer. Nice staff and good service

This nail salon has been there for several years or longer the staff is super friendly and professional I appreciate that they take their time working on my nails, they don't rush the customers. This environment is relaxing. Prices are good/fair. Mai has been helping me for a while now. read more

Came in today because my regular salon was closed and so happy I did. The nail salon was slow with 3 workers, honestly the set up was not as "fancy" as a typical salon but the experience was amazing. Kim did my pedicure and really took her time shaping my nails, cutting my cuticles and really taking her time and going out to clean my nails! she gave me 2 types of scrubs and a hot stone massage followed by a towel wrap. Thank you Kim for the great experience! read more

I hate to give this place 3 stars because they did a great job it just wasn't what I asked for. I read previous reviews and saw that people had gotten dipping powder or SNS or said that the salon did it. I called and made an appointment for SNS dipping powder and when I got in, i was given acrylic with a gel top. My nails look fantastic but it's annoying to do your research and be particular only to not receive what you asked for. If you're looking for acrylics this is a great place though. read more

Venice Nail Salon - Acrylic with gel. "Beauty-Bride To Be" - Nail Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

Meticulous work. $35 (and tip) for acrylic fill with gel polish on top. Parking situation is atrocious but the great service makes up for everything else. My technician was incredibly thorough with her entire process and made sure that my shape was even, the acrylic powder not too thick, the nails even and symmetrical, etc. She also asked me if I was okay or had any pain since I was hesitant to get friendly with the electric file. I can't say much for the ambience of the place, but it was relatively clean and the tools used on me were clean. Definitely will be back for more manicures in the future, but I'll have to set some time aside for the longer appointment. read more

I feel comfortable writing a positive review after being here twice now. The first time 3 of us walked in on a Saturday evening and we all loved the job the ladies did on us. The ladies provide great service and do a wonderful job with their hot stones! Last week I went back alone, and was greeted right away and placed in a chair. I was pleased once again with a fabulous job and my toes were looking ever so pretty. I complimented the delicate flowers on my pedicurists' toes so she asked if I wanted to jazz up my freshly painted red toes. I agreed. What the heck...I've had art done on my toes before and this was a lot better than my previous experience. So it's a done deal. I have gotten several compliments on my feet and have already made up in my mind that every time I get my hair done (next door) that I will treat myself to a pedi. Shout out to all the ladies at Venice Nails! Keep up the good work. read more

Venice nail salon service is the ultimate best nail service I have ever had. I been going here now for the past year, and I was able to grow all my natural nails. From someone who used to just go to random places to get her nails done. I have experienced from those other places ripping the acrylic off my nails and refuse to soak them off. This place takes the time to soak them off and really takes their time. Their service is amazing and I love the feeling of going to a salon to relaxing. Having my own time as I get pampered. I completely recommend if you are trying to have gorgeous, healthy nails Venice nail salon is the place. read more

This is after my second time at the salon and the work was done by Kim. I love it!! I went for gel many and pedi. She did such a thorough job on me, as the first time, and my cuticles didn't hurt afterwards unlike after other salons! Overall atmosphere in the salon is very warm and relaxed. The ladies were busy, but it didn't feel like they couldn't wait to be done with the clients. Also it didn't feel that they tried to pack as many customers in one day as possible. This place is a hidden gem -- give it a try! read more

I have found my new Forever Nail Salon!! I called ahead of time just to make sure they could get me in... Knowing this is a new salon (that serves wine and beer) I knew they would be busy. They were able to get me in for a pedicure and acrylic fill both with gel polish. When I walked in, I was greeted by David who was very nice and informative about their new salon. Did I already mention that they serve beer and wine during your service ... The salon is brand new and absolutely beautiful in a simply classic design. Cleanliness is a HUGE DEAL to me, so this was very refreshing. David explained their wine and beer services and handed me a menu for their salon services. Their services menu was pretty typical with the exception of their highest end being about $10 higher than what I have been used to. That being said... Service, cleanliness and atmosphere are all part of what you pay for and in my opinion... Could be worth it.... Angel was my service provider and she was amazing!! She is very friendly, attentive, professional and did a great job. While working on my pedicure, I realized that she also does SNS Dipping Powder (which can look horrible if the technician doesn't know what they are doing). We decided to remove my acrylic nails and put on new SNS dipping powder, and she did the best job with this that I have ever seen. As I mentioned in the beginning, this will be my new Forever Nail Salon... For me... The slightly higher price was absolutely worth it based on location, service, cleanliness, options, and yes...the wine service. P. S. They are running a grand opening special of 40% off right now, so get over there soon and enjoy that special!! read more

I've been going to Vince since shortly after they opened, probably a few years. I have always had a good experience. The ladies are friendly and the hot rock massage with the pedicure is really a treat! I didn't think I was that picky when it came to how my nails and pedicures are done but I realize that they take the extra time and everything always looks good. If I'm ever not completely happy with a design or anything (which rarely happens), they are more than willing to change or fix it. read more

A friend of mine suggested that I try this place, as it was her preferred place to go--especially being near where she lived. I received a nicely done pedicure here for only $33 (I had acrylic designs painted on my pedi + 2 stones added to the middle of the acrylic design flower). The nail job seems well-done--not quite the best that I've had, but definitely not bad at all (there a tiny bubbles in one of my toes, but barely noticeable. However, what I'd like to rave about is the massages! They've given me the best foot massages with hot stones that I've had yet! NOTE: I uploaded two pictures of the design they painted on my toes. =) Overall I like it, but they seemed a little limited in the artistry and acrylic paints. read more

Went for in for a pedicure 08/03, felt a little unwelcome but decided to give it a try. I asked for the pedicure menu and they said they only had a $30 pedi that included: polish, shape, scrub and massage. Bit pricey for the service but, again, giving the benefit of the doubt. When she started, I began getting scared lol. She started with the massage -___- then she pulled the yellow scrubby sponge from her cart. It was sitting in a puddle of water and the scrubber was brown with no texture. I asked if it was new, that's when an older lady sitting on one of the spas confirmed it was new. I refused to have it used on my feet. She then asked if I wanted to pay for a new one, that's when I asked, "I thought it was new" which kind of left her speechless. At that point I just got up and went across the street to JJ nail care where I paid $30 for: trim, shape, cuticles, scrub, cooling mask, hot stone, warm towel and polish. Save yourself the headache! read more

I went in with my sister and my brother in law for the first time today, and we all got manicures. I got acrylic French tips. My technician was kind, friendly, and really took her time, paying attention to the details. These are easily the best French nails I've ever gotten! They are also very COVID safe. Plexiglass shields at each station, 6 feet of separation between customers, everyone had masks, and the first thing she had me do was sanitize my hands before she began. We will definitely be coming back! read more

I've been coming here for years. My mom and I love the friendly staff and how they have an attention to detail. They make sure you come out loving your nails. They have a wide connection of colors and they are acrylic specialists. I love coming here every time I'm in my hometown. Some salons in NYC don't even compare. The quality is top notch and they have such a loyal customer base. read more
