    My latest set. Was nervous for a change but it's so cute!!

    I've been coming here since I moved back last year and honestly, Tu is the reason I keep coming back. The first time I came in, she was so sweet and actually took the time to talk to me and make me feel comfortable. I never felt like I was just another customer coming in to spend money. She genuinely made me feel welcomed, and that meant a lot to me. And on top of that, she does such an amazing job on my nails! They always look so good and somehow last me forever. Everyone else here is seriously so nice too. I've always been treated with kindness and respect whenever I come in. You can really tell they care about their customers. The music is a vibe too! I just wish they got more recognition because they really deserve it. I'm so glad I found this place and Tu!

    Went at 6pm and Tu was the sweetest and fastest! Will come here again thank you so much!!

    Tu is your girl to go. She's always very detailed and knows what I like! Thank you! Usually so quick as well.

    Absolutely obsessed with my Cat Eye Gel X set! The shape is flawless, the finish is super smooth, and the magnetic cat eye effect came out so stunning and dimensional. My nails look elegant, clean, and expensive, and I've gotten so many compliments already. My go to Bay Area Nail salon ((:

    Service for cat eye gel nails was quick and great! There were plenty of color to choose from and the nails checked all my boxes.

    This was a great experience!!! In town visiting my boyfriend and we went in to get my nails done for my birthday. He decided to get a pedicure too (so cute). Very friendly, clean, and professional!!!!

    I've been to Winchester Nail and asked them to help me find the best fit for my nails. I like a thin layer of liquid builder gel, and she did it perfectly--very natural and clean. I'm extremely happy with the result. Highly recommend

    I had a great experience at Winchester Nail. I felt comfortable throughout my visit and was very happy with the service, especially Lee. She was kind, professional, and did an excellent job. I highly recommend this salon!

    Love the color pink! Always go there and staff is polite& friendly . My nails last a month.

    pedicure with regular polish $35

    It was Sunday afternoon, and I had some time to kill before my lunch plans and really needed a pedicure. I typically don't like going anywhere because decent service is so hard to find. One of my spots was closed on Sundays (which I didn't know) I was at Santana row and since kitchen nail bar had no openings, I walked over to Winchester nails. I was able to get seated right away which was really nice since I was on a time crunch. I was seated in a massage chair (yay!) and had a nice relaxing pedicure. I'm usually really nervous when they cut my cuticles out of fear of being cut but didn't have that problem here. Very happy I was able to get in and out without any worries. Had to leave a review for my great experience. The place DID feel clean when walking in :)

    Nails done by Kim

    Thank you Kim for such an amazing experience!!! I brought my husband for his first pedicure and Kim did SUCH AN AMAZING JOB! She made my husband feel welcome and taken care of. She was even willing to paint his toe nails! The salon is clean and sanitary, and their costumer service is above and beyond. I am a regular for a reason!

    What I wanted to
    Kimberly D.

    Matched what I wanted, went on a weekday so there was only me. I asked and she delivered. The inside was spacious but you should wear a mask since you might inside all the plastic in the hair from the nail shaping. Person who did my nails was very detailed and I got the feeling that she was so into her job she forgot I exist sometimes cuz she only saw my hand but I liked that cuz I was tired and just wanted the job done. I had an inspiration pic but only wanted to change the bow color to matcha my birthday outfit which was red. The bow was done really well, I was super surprised. Idk how parking would go but I didn't see much parking but the place is worth visiting.

    Tu took her time to soak and drill my old acrylics off (I've never had a tech not just rip them off with a tip).

Sometimes there is a barking dog in the salon, and most of the time the place feels dirty and not particularly well-maintained. My most recent visit will definitely be my last. I stopped in for a walk-in pedicure and asked the man at the front if they had time. He said yes and directed me to a chair. After I sat down and he started filling the foot bath, two customers with appointments walked in. Shortly after that, another walk-in came in, and he turned her away. It was obvious he was annoyed that he had accepted me before realizing his scheduled clients had arrived. He rushed through my pedicure from start to finish. I actually don't mind a shorter massage, so that wasn't my main concern. What bothered me was the quality of the service. He applied only one coat of polish--no base coat and no top coat--and then immediately moved on to the next customer. Once my nails were dry, they told me I was ready to leave and charged me full price for what felt like a rushed, incomplete pedicure. I paid full price, but definitely did not receive a full service. I won't be returning, and based on my experiences, I can't recommend Q Nails.

Over the years, ThatMan has become more than just my nail tech--he's someone I genuinely respect and look up to as a true example of what it means to be a professional. If you're looking for the best, you won't find anyone better.

    TL;DR: My big toes were messed up 3x and instead of taking accountability, the owner blamed me for…read morechoosing regular polish--a service she provides. No refund, no solution, and deeply unprofessional behavior. *~~ Service Overview & Pricing I booked a same-day appointment that the owner accepted. I requested: * #108 Gelixir purple gel polish + acrylic fill manicure * #108 Gelixir purple regular polish + basic pedicure The owner upsold heavily throughout. I even let her do extra work on my pinkies to build rapport. Total: $81 Tip: $15 (tipped before the service was completed) She opened the shop ~5 min late despite accepting my 9:30 AM appointment, & complained aloud, setting the tone for our session. *~~ Where Everything Went Wrong 1. First Mistake Toe spacers were applied after polishing but before the paint was dry, immediately smudging the big toe. 2. Second Attempt They only partially removed the polish to "fix" it. Because the initial coats weren't fully removed, the application was thick and uneven. After 40 minutes of "drying," the nail dented and the texture caught the lip of my shoe, scratching again. I told them I still had time if they wanted to properly redo it. 3. Third Attempt A kind staff member accidentally damaged the other big toe while helping me into disposable sandals. At this point, my toes had been ruined three separate times--all due to staff actions. *~~ The Owner's Response When I asked if they could use gel on the big toes (since the mistakes were theirs), the owner refused and claimed: 1. The colors "wouldn't match." 2. Gel and regular polish can't match--despite the Gelixir palette offering both and my manicure proving otherwise. 3. That because I chose regular polish, the outcome was my fault. She repeated this many times. 4. That regular polish takes "hours to dry in cold weather," something she never mentioned and is simply not true. By then I had been there from 9:30 AM to 12:20 PM, and the pedicure was the first service we started. *~~ Escalation & Unprofessional Conduct When I calmly asked for a reasonable fix (or at least accountability for my time), the owner became rude, defensive, and dismissive. She offered: * No refund * No partial refund * No refund of my tip * No solution She repeatedly told me I could "leave if I didn't like it" while her staff was trying to help me with bare toes. Instead of accountability, she lectured me with constant "you" statements and kept shifting blame. I stayed polite and attempted to de-escalate, but she kept escalating. My friend who was with me also felt the owner was short, judgmental, and rude from the beginning. As a Filipina, I'm familiar with cultural bluntness--this wasn't bluntness. This was aggressiveness and unprofessionalism. *~~ Service Quality & Safety Concerns * They used a pumice scrubber on my inner ankle bone, leaving raw skin and micro-cuts. * The owner drilled harshly on the sides and cuticle area during my fill, causing irritation and cuts. When I said "ow," she told me I "needed lotion." (I regularly moisturize; the issue was her technique.) * During upselling for designs/gems, she asked about two fingers. When I agreed, she worked on the wrong fingers, insisted I said "all," and did the same thing to my friend. * Despite her picking my friend's shade, she acted annoyed when we asked to see it on one toe. Odd behavior throughout--there's truly no winning with her. *~~ Final Thoughts Based on quality alone, this could have been a 2-star experience. But the owner's behavior makes it a 0-star experience. Earlier, she told me her business struggles with retention but has some regulars. Now I understand why. The recurring reviews about poor customer service suddenly make complete sense. Even her responses to negative reviews show the same pattern--confrontational, defensive, and unwilling to take responsibility. It's impossible to relax when the owner is hostile, unaccountable, and provides no customer care. This was my first time going (only to accommodate my friend's work schedule) because in theory the 9:30 AM start time is competitive. But honestly, you're better off walking one minute over to Winchester Nails, which is actually my regular spot. I'll never cheat on them again.

I specifically asked for a square shape but the corners were cut off and one of my toes was also noticeably crooked despite me pointing it out several times during the service. I spoke with management afterward to see if there was anything they could do to make the situation right. Unfortunately the only resolution offered was 10% off a future service. Even with the discount my horrible pedicure was still over $80 which I don't feel reflects the quality of the service I received. This is a very expensive nail salon and I would be willing to pay their prices if the quality and service matched. Unfortunately that wasn't my experience. I appreciate that management took the time to respond to my concerns but I was disappointed that they weren't willing to offer any resolution beyond a discount to return. I personally won't be returning even with the 10% discount and I would advise no one else to come here as well.
