I am so happy with how Tracy did my nails, this was a previous technique another nail tech did and I briefly explained to her and she understood the assignment. I appreciate her attention to detail and making sure I am satisfied with the shape & the color bcs sometimes I vary from a beige nude/pink base. Thank you Tracy! read more

YNOT Nails & Spa - French Tips on natural nails - Nail Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

Honestly, I don't know how to rate this place . I have very mixed emotions here . First, It was my first time coming in today never been here before. 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 read more

I rarely write reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience after giving this salon two chances. I had high hopes, especially given the glowing reviews, but unfortunately, my visits were disappointing. My first appointment was with a nail tech named Lien. I had taken seven months off from doing my nails to allow them to grow back strong and healthy, and I was genuinely excited to treat myself again. After doing some research, I decided to try a builder gel manicure--something natural, short, and non-damaging. When I explained what I booked for, Lien told me she needed to add tips to even out my nails. That made total sense, and I appreciated her input. She chose a pretty pink natural color, which I loved--until she said she was finished. That's when I noticed every nail was a different length and shape. It was almost unbelievable. I genuinely thought she was still in the middle of the shaping process, but no--she was done. I was close to asking for someone to fix them, but I didn't want to complain, so I paid and left. To top it off, I was charged nearly $60 for what I assumed would be a simple builder gel manicure. I didn't get any design or extra add-ons--just uneven nails. Later, I realized she hadn't done any of the basics--no cuticle care, no hand massage, not even lotion. I had to go home and file the nails myself just to make them somewhat presentable, and I'm not even a nail tech. Still, I wanted to give the salon the benefit of the doubt. Maybe I just got unlucky. So a couple of weeks later, I booked online with a different tech for a 6 PM appointment. When I arrived, the front desk staff seemed confused. After some shuffling, he found my appointment and said the tech I booked with was running behind because her client wanted more design work done. I said that was okay and kindly asked to be scheduled with someone else--anyone but Lien. Instead of accommodating that simple request, he responded with an almost rude tone and told me to look at colors while he "figured something out." A few minutes later, he came back and asked if I could wait 30 more minutes. I was stunned--there were at least 20 nail techs working, and not a single one was available for a basic manicure, even though I had a confirmed appointment? I stayed polite and respectful the entire time, but the overall treatment I received--from both visits--was incredibly disappointing. I left without getting anything done. I truly don't understand how this salon has such good reviews. I wanted to love this place. I was excited to become a regular. But after two negative experiences, I won't be returning. read more

If you need your nails done, go to YNOT Nails and ask for Tracy , she does amazing nails!

*First time review* A friend told me about this place and I'm so glad she did. I bit all my nails off to the nubs due to stress! Wanted some acrylics to hold me over a few weeks. My friend referred me to Tam and she's a sweetheart! I didn't give her much to work with since I bit everything down but she did a great job! I asked for short thinly filed French tips and that's what I got. I love the ambience here too. read more

My first time back here since moving from LA. I use to come here a lot back in 2023 but then moved. My sister and I got our nails done yesterday and they were so nice. They were supposed to close at 4pm and we arrived at 3:30pm. Owner Hop is great as usual and so are the nail techs for staying a couple minutes after closing to finish my set and my sisters pedicure. There very clean when I was finished I saw two employees mopping and vacuuming. This place also smells very nice. I love how they have free snacks still. read more

Today will probably be the last time I come here. The service here is hit or miss. I have been coming to this salon off and on since it was DASH. And the quality and service is never the same. I came in today, pedicure was messy and very expensive, and manicure is so far from my cuticles it looks like I've had them for over a week when I just got them done. Quality is not worth it! read more

Called in and asked for their best acrylic nail tech. I've had bad luck finding someone to do the shape I want that doesn't start lifting in a week, I was told all of their nail techs would be able to meet those basic standards as that's "simple" and honestly you'd think so.... I'll show you the inspo pic for my shape and what I got. The only thing done right was the pink shade I asked for. They're wide and chunky, not narrow and natural at all. I understand nail beds play a role but be so serious, this isn't even remotely close to what I asked for. Only getting two stars cause everyone was super nice, but promised skill isn't there. read more

Not only at the ladies here rude but they also did a terrible job. Came in for a mani pedi. I had come from work and was wearing jeans and my legs weren't shaved. The ladies immediately started talking smack. No I do not speak Vietnamese but when they're standing around you pointing and laughing while all looking it's obvious. The lady who was doing my manicure not only did an awful job with the gel but also forced me to turn off the massage chair for my entire time there. I didn't even turn it off myself she reached over mt and turned it off. The lady who did my pedicure asked me 4 times what color I wanted. I told her white every single time. Her massage wasn't a real massage. When the service was over none of them said bye or thank you. The price came out to $80 for 45 minutes. I have my engagement party tomorrow and my nails look like absolute crap. Never again. read more

I went in today to get nails removed and a manicure. I had booked the appointment with a specific person and I ended up having to get everything done with someone else. She was kind but in too much of a rush, she hurt me with the drill like machine twice and did not even ask or offer the manicures in the menu. I had told her that when I booked the appointment I had chosen a certain manicure service which I did not end up getting because how upset I was with the out come of my natural nails. I had a good long length from my natural nails that grew and I intended to keep that length, but she ended up completely making them short something I didn't want. Not only were they short, they were all pretty uneven and crooked and my natural nail is not crooked because I've seen my nails my whole life and they grow pretty normal and straight. You could tell that the crookedness is from where she filed them down on the sides. The shape wasn't what I wanted at all, and I asked her to fix it and she made me feel like she was rushing to finish. From my experience, the nail techs have always asked what shape I want and what service I would like so I assumed she would do the same. In part, I guess that's my fault for not telling her right off the bat since she's not my go to nail tech, but I have never had this experience here. I am very upset that my natural nails are now shorter than what they were when I came in and that they are so crooked and so uneven when she filed them. The gel is also so terribly done on my nails. And just to make it clear when the acrylics that I had on were taken off, my natural nails were still long. I asked one of them nail ladies if I could speak to the manager, but they told me that he had already left and I would really like this resolved especially because I love coming here. Thank you. read more

I have been to this place a few times and always have an amazing service, but this time ... I was reallllyy upset I was getting tired of my old nails and booked a gel off service with a regular manicure with a hand treatment manicure because my hands really need it with my job. Well I'm not sure if my nail service was crappy to them because it wasn't a big service and they could have done someone else that they get more money or a bigger tip.. I'm not sure, but my nail lady couldn't remove my gel and someone took over then I wanted regular black and then she added glitter I'm not sure why.. I never asked for it I'm a nice person so I didn't want to be rude, but I guess I thought why not? something different right ?.. well I asked if my hand treatment was going to be next and she said yes, but not sure if she heard me well, after the manicure was done she gave me the price and left I was really confused because she started doing another service, I waited there feeling dumb and I asked the manager I wasn't sure what happened. So then I got ANOTHER girl to do the service and let me tell you that was the Sh****st service ever!! All I got was a 5 minute hand massage with a bit of lotion and a bit of a scrub.. then she started to massage my shoulders ?? And then I was done ... I'm sorry BUT WHAT?! The hand treatment came with 15 minute massage, maske, paraffin wax OR collagen gloves and finished with a hot towel I didn't get a choice she just did what she wanted and all for just a half ass massage. For that I felt I needed a discount for the sh** service. These nails were terrible barely filed crooked seems like a 8 year old could have done this work!! read more

HORRIBLE! Got stress relief pedicure for 3 of us and one of us had mani as well. We were all done in like 30 min. It was express service! But we paid for more. Hardly a massage- 2 of them were just talking to each other and just barely touching our legs and just going up and down. It was not a massage. The polish was horrendous, missed the sides. My daughter's gel polish came off less than a week when we know how hard it is to get gel off. Hardly any scrubbing - everything was so fast. It was the worst 250$ I spent. The place looks nice but the service is horrible and u are not getting what u paid for. It was for my husbands birthday and we were looking forward to atleast an hr of relaxation but it was drive thru! read more

I made a reservation through the website. I went an a Friday morning. The staff at the front desk isn't all that friendly. And the lady who did my nails ( I think her name is lani or lan) she rushed my nails I did like the designs at first. But as I was washing the dishes I noticed a slight burn on my right thumb at the cuticle from the refill. The right hand looked great but revisiting my left hand and looking at it multiple times I didn't like it. The place was really nice and pretty. However I do think I'll be coming back. read more

Just tried out the new nails place, Ynot Nails Spa and I'm glad! The place is super clean and inviting, which is a big deal for me. Plus, the pedicure itself was fantastic - very relaxing and my feet feel amazing. I'll definitely be back for Hannah P! I didn't understand why my pedicurist used Softsoap Clear Liquid Hand Soap to help remove calluses at the sole of my feet. I would appreciate if she used actual scrub. Other than that, my toe nails were en pointe! Thank you again, Hannah! read more

This place is way too over priced . For a simple French tip pedi and a very short acrylic set with no color , just a pink shimmery acrylic with no design or French tip added . I was charged $163 . And for that price they won't even clean up your cuticles after the manicure . Just lay uneven acrylic on your natural nails . I hope this review helps some ladies out before the get catfished by the vibe inside . read more

Received a pedicure from this placed, there was another worker not the person doing my pedicure that had a starring problem towards me that she could hardly work... she worked on the woman next to me.. just very obvious & so noticeable!!! When I go to pay at the register the owner man just took my payment NOT saying a good bye, thank you for coming, see you again soon or NOT even a have a nice day! This place has no customer service whatsoever for the neighborhood it's in!!! read more

I haven't written a bad review in a very long time, but honestly save your money and do your toes yourself or go elsewhere. I wasn't in the chair longer than 20 mins. $38. She was on her phone texting x5 and took 2 calls. Skin all over my feet, not even scrubbed off. Didn't clean under the nail, didn't paint the edges of the nail. No lotion to the feet; just the legs for 1 minute. Subpar. Gave them 2 stars because of their polish selection. The rest was trash. read more

Came in here for the first time for a mani Pedi. The salon itself is very pretty. Tools seemed cleaned and sanitized. However, it was the most uncomfortable experience at a nail salon I've ever had. I had two ladies work on me at the same time, one on my pedicure and one sitting to my right doing the manicure. I was sitting with both hands turned to my right the entire time. I have back issues so sitting with my body twisted the entire time was so uncomfortable. Nail salons are supposed to feel relaxing but it was anything but relaxing. The lady doing the manicure RUSHED and I mean rushed like it was a race or something to finish as fast as possible. I don't know what she was racing for, there were no clients waiting. She could care less about the quality of work she was putting out, she just wanted to be done. The nails came out lumpy and uneven. Not to mention as I was sitting there I saw cockroaches scurry across the table with all the snacks Terrible experience overall. The total came out to $110 with tip for gel mani Pedi. It was not worth it. Do not recommend. Do better read more

Pedi WITH A SIDE OF ROACHES! Beware woman this place WAS great and clean at one point..now it is disgusting and roach infested. Dont let the snacks and free drinks blind you. See for yourself, floor is gross, carpet filthy, ceiling lamps, lets just say dust is hanging off them and sometimes falls on the people underneath...and we all know what dust is made of. Let's not forget about the roaches that might stowaway in your shoes or bag next to your chair. I just walked out for the LAST time..its been getting filthier and filthier the past few months but I didnt have the heart to say anything till now. Cockaroaches- rock bottom for me. Ugh! Im so grossed out. The nail specialists are great, but no one, absolutely no one is cleaning. Pedi at your own risk. read more

I came to this nail salon for a pedicure hoping for a good massage. I specifically asked for a nail technician that could provide a good massage and unfortunately they did not deliver. My technician was friendly. She offered drinks and refills on snacks but aside from that, I didn't receive the service I had expected. Her massage was essentially just a rub. The part that irked me the most was she started the timer and kept chatting with the lady beside her. She didn't start the massage until 25 seconds in and was quick to stop massaging once the alarm went off. She also shaped my toes round which is not my style. The salon itself is super clean, roomy, and packed with a lot of staff. The color selection is noteworthy; they have several brands and colors to choose from. All in all, if you want the quick service and don't mind a sloppy massage, this place may be for you. read more
