    I love coming here they always make you feel special me my mom and daughter have been coming here for years thank you Cindy for my nails

    just right now I left this Viva Nails Place and SO DISAPPOINTED and actually ANGRY with the job they did. in my 20 years of doing nails this place is the worse I ever experienced.. I came in with three weeks old nails that looked MUCH BETTER then freshly made nails. Feel so bad that I actually PAID for such a terrible work... planning to call the owner with a complain...

    just now New Jackie did a terrible job on my toes and she has a very bad attitude. She hurt my heels and made them sore and bleed.She is Totally in the wrong field. A five year old could have done a better job. Thankfully another technician fixed it. I don't think I'll ever be back. I will say though Chee is very nice, she is the only reason I went there. I will not go back just so I don't have to see Jackie she made me very upset because getting your nails done is not cheap so if I have to pay that much I would like to get a nice clean job. Not a messy one plus a bad attitude

    I love the ladies (& Vincent!) at Viva nails. My mom and I have been going there since I was in middle school. I recently got married and they did a fabulous job! Thank you for always providing the best service and for making my nails look perfect!

    Nina was my nail tech and she did a wonderful job on my nails. I love how it turns out. Thank you Nina!! Will be coming back again.

    I cannot tell you how happy i found this nail salon close to my house . Tiffany and Chi are so friendly and did a great job. I have gel pedicure, acrylic nail and design. Tiffany and Chi creates beatiful art on my nails my toe they always take a challange when i have various design. The staff craters to your need and so sweet.

    Best nail place around. Have tried a few other salons but keep coming back here for the customer service, willingness to do what I like and redo if needed so I get exactly what I'm looking for. Nails always look great and the owners and technicians are so nice, personable and sooo much better than other salons that call themselves the best but are really terrible (don't go to perfect10). Viva Nails won't let you down.

    i got the best mani-pedi at viva nails salon. Lauren provided me with beautiful nail art and was nice to me the whole time, kept the conversation going and asked questions . I totally recommend Viva Nail salon to my friends and family.

    Horrible service.

I…read morehappened to stop by this salon bc I was in the area and the original salon I wanted to go to wanted me to wait 2 hours before someone could get to doing my nails (my fault since I didn't make an appointment). But what a blessing it turned out to be because then I wouldn't have come across Nhi!! So I walk into this salon without an appointment around 12 and the owner immediately greets me. She tells me, "I'm going to put you with Nhi. She's young and really good!" I've gone to Nhi twice, and the best part about her is that I've shown her inspo pics and asked her to freestyle, she does an AMAZING job. I always get compliments on my nails. I did gel builder with chrome, and with designs on each nail it came out to $125. I moved closer to SF and was hoping to find a shop here that could compare and so far, i can't find one on her level. This shop deserves 5 stars. I've been to shops in the south bay with higher ratings, and the customer service here is excellent and the work is great.

That's the reason I keep coming back. Unfortunately, the scheduling and appointment management have become really frustrating. Almost every time I book with a specific technician, I don't actually get the person I requested. On top of that, even with an appointment, I regularly wait 30-45 minutes past my scheduled time before getting started. What should be a normal appointment turns into me being there for close to 3.5 hours. I also feel bad for the technicians because they seem overbooked and overwhelmed. The salon accepts so many walk-ins that the staff barely gets a break, and it affects the overall experience for both customers and employees.

They are always very friendly and accommodating for a walk-in appointment. The salon is hygienic and clean. They also have a very nice selection of gel polish colors, especially cateye colors. I recently had an ingrown toenail (my first ever in 33 years) after my latest visit but the owner was quick to help communicate this with the nail tech doing my pedicure so it doesn't happen again. This made me feel very understood and respected as a regular customer here. The owner also tries to remember the regulars at the salon and always offer a warm welcoming, which is very nice of her. They offer a discount for cash payments, but also accept Venmo (even for tips) while credit card has a small charge. I think their prices are very reasonable and definitely cheaper than the last salon I went to before switching to Pedi Nail Lounge. There is a large shared parking lot in front so plenty of parking nearby. I also like that there is a coffee shop (Blvd coffee), food spot (Chispiro's) and Lucky Grocery store right next door that makes the location extremely convenient for me. 5/5 , definitely recommend if you're looking for a new nail salon

The nail tech was super sweet (i think) and the place is immaculate! Super clean!!! As for the nail lady: overall she did an ok job. (I guess) let's get into it. -- sooo during the process I saw that she made two of my nails extremely crooked. The first nail, I noticed was my ring finger. I asked her if she could please file it more because it looked like it was going to too much to the right. Immediately, she said something in her own language to her friend sitting next to her I did not want to assume they were talking about me, but I had a feeling. She did file it and she asked me if it was better and I told her " almost" I requested she file it just a little bit more so it looks more straighter and she started saying something to her friend again. I went from assuming they were talking shit to they most likely were because they were talking in their own language and all of a sudden her friend said in English " she does a good job" and then continue to talk to themselves in their own language so it was very obvious, they said something about me in my request to make my nails straight. This already made me feel uncomfortable to tell her about my thumb, which was ridiculously crooked and very noticeable but I did ask that she would fix that one also and she got my thumb and filed it quickly and was like "is that better?" I just told her yeah, even though it was not better. I didn't want to make a big deal about it but inside I was super annoyed. Nails are expensive and when you go for a service you want it done correctly you don't want to come out with crooked nails. I also asked if she could do a small gel design and I showed her a picture of what I wanted and it was absolutely nothing like I showed her. The design she gave me look like she spilled glue on my nail and was like whatever about it looks nothing like the picture I showed her. I was upset. I just didn't say anything. I'm going to post a picture of the gel design of what I wanted versus what I got. The gel design that I requested was supposed to be what looks like a swirl and thick as I mentioned above, she looks like she just rubbed a glue and the line was super squiggly . As a professional nail tech....like why???? I feel like the potential for this nail tech is absolutely there I just know that I can't ask for a design the next time I try her again. (which I will be going back to her to give her another chance.) I will share a picture of my nails. It wasn't a horrible job, it was just OK. Moving forward if I go with the nail tech again, I will not be requesting for her to do any type of design just because what she gave me was not what I asked for. I'll do an update if I ever go back

It's a little gem tucked away in a plaza and I'm so happy she brought me as a guest the first time. I went for the middle tier pedicure treatment option, and it's such a relaxing experience, they wrap a warm towel around your neck and after soaking your feet , depending on the tier, you get a hot stone massage.

After checking in, a staff member simply pointed me toward a chair to soak my feet. No one spoke to me for the next 20 minutes, and my feet were left soaking in cold water. A technician briefly approached me but walked away again. The service didn't actually begin until 1:55 PM. At the start, the technician seemed somewhat impatient, repeatedly telling me to lift my feet higher for the scrub. To her credit, she was polite enough to double-check with me that the nail polish color would be quite sheer. The entire service wrapped up by 2:40 PM. If you are just looking for a rushed, quick appointment, this place might work for you. However, if you are looking for a high-quality, relaxing experience, I would highly recommend going elsewhere.
