A few years back a friend told me this is where she always goes for her nails. I have been several times since then, and they consistently deliver a high-quality manicure. Today I was delighted to find out they have the latest in the cats eye gel colors and effects. It was super cool and I’m gonna have to go back soon to try new colors.

Won't come back. Two different manicurists did my service. The first one dropped the buffing piece on the floor then picked it up and continued using it on me. The other was going to use the cuticle cutter that she used from the gal in the chair next to me and didn't even clean the cuts off of it. I told her to use a different one that came in the package the first girl opened. The manicurist was very indifferent and wasn't even looking at what she was scraping or filing. During the massage (foot and hand), both girls were looking elsewhere and didn't even look at what they were doing. The chair cup holder has dirt and old filings. The floor wasn't swept. I waited to get the temporary flipflops for a long time, but when no one came by I got up and walked on the bare floor and it was disgusting.

I love this place. They always honor my appointment time and the staff/service is top notch. If you’re ever thinking about getting the extra foot massage time, do it. They know exactly what they’re doing.

Philip and Julie are the best. Reasonably priced and they do an excellent job. The gel x set is my favorite. The shoulder massage is a nice add-on at the end of the day.
Cleanliness: Very clean space!

Horrible my daughter came here on an emergency because she had an event for tomorrow, and her nail lady couldn’t fit her in her schedule. To begin with my daughter already had acrylics so she asked to get them removed to get new ones. They proceeded to rip them off piece by piece and kept on dipping it and acetone when they couldn’t get certain parts which looked painful. They left monomer all over her fingers. The acrylic wasn’t laid even it was super thick. We spent like two hours there as you can see they’re very short she changed the nail color once because my daughter didn’t like the first color. I told her I would pay her extra for the inconvenience, but she was still rude about it

I went in for a manicure/pedicure. I have been here before! So I thought I'll give them another shot! (I treated my mother to a pedi and she said nail polish chipped the next day) I gave them the benefit of the doubt and gave them another chance. Thinking maybe it was just a bad nail polish. Now I'm thinking the work itself is not good. I was a walk-in and they took me right away, which was nice! At first everything was going great! comfy chair, relaxing music, water temp was nice, staff were friendly etc.. I wanted to try something new since my own nails had grown a good length. I thought I would try powder dip nails. What I didn't know was how lumpy she would leave them!! I felt like you couldn't tell until you really moved your fingers around. To top it off Towards the end before the gloss and blue light, she walks away to help another customer and sends the male to finish the job. No explanation. He stared at my nails and he seemed resistant to seal it because he stared at them and moved them around to check but he sealed them anyways. Once I was driving and in outdoor light! the closer I looked the worse it looked!! They look terrible! Even the thumb nail looks like I already need a fill. I have a wedding event tomorrow so I have no choice but to keep these on but I can't wait to take them off. What a waste of money. Pedicure was ok. The service itself was nice but again with a closer look she didn't neatly paint them and they don't look as cleaned up as I usually get them. I paid $102 plus tip! I was asked to pay Venmo and to tip cash please. I informed the gentleman that I did not have cash and he just said "ok add your tip when you Venmo" I always tip! But The super insisting part of it is too much! Especially when the quality of the work leaves you disappointed. I will definitely never go back.

I do not write reviews often, but I feel it's a duty to warn others from coming here and wasting their time and money. I had the worst customer experience of my entire life. I made an appointment online for 6pm. I received a text message confirming it was accepted. I came to the salon early to see if they could squeeze me in at 5:20. I saw that they were closed for a private event for a bridal party. I was getting my nails done to be in a wedding as well, so I completely understood. I came back at 5:50 and I noticed that the party was still going on. To not disturb the bridal party, I called instead of walking in to see if my appointment was still valid or they accidentally accepted it. They told me yes and came out to the street to talk to me. They said that there was this event going on, but they will be ready for me soon. I expressed my concern that it would take a long time because I had dip nails that needed to be removed and they close at 7. He informed me not to worry and it can be done quickly. I was brought in at 6:05 but not to the salon. Much to my chagrin, they put me in a back room away from the party. I was basically stowed away in a glorified supply closet (someone walked in with actual with supplies!) I thought, okay I will be a good sport for this bridal party and hideaway. They must have made a mistake accepting my booking and I don't want to ruin their moment. After some time goes by, they come to the room to start to remove my nails. They used a very strong file that was burning my nail bed and causing me pain. I told the nail tech that it hurts, and she says not to worry. Then, rather than placing each nail in tin foil and a cotton swab with acetone to remove the dip, which is the industry standard, she provides me a literal bowl of acetone to dip my nails in! I've been getting dip for years and I have never seen such gross negligence. Multiple times I informed them that this is damaging the skin around my nails and that this should be with aluminum. They told me it's fine and she will clean it up for me after. My hands turned grey from the acetone. I'm writing this two hours after I left the salon and my fingers are still rough and dry from the acetone. It was completely unprofessional. But the horror is just beginning. I understood that they were between a rock and a hard place trying to get my nails done and have their party. I thought to save them some trouble I should get my eyebrows waxed while back here. She did not do a good job. She didn't clean my makeup off. She just went in and waxed off my brows not asking what hair I wanted removed. My eyebrows are thinner than I would have ever wanted. One is longer than the other and there are still hairs in-between my eyebrows that were not removed. At this point I should have left. I leave my glorified closet because the party is over to see that they allowed other guests who were not members of the party to sit in the actual salon. I saw that one of the guests had aluminum on her fingers to remove her nails rather than a bowl of acetone like me. Meaning that they had basically just treated me this way and not their other customers. They start the actual manicure and at this point I had interacted with multiple nail techs. I showed the first one in the supply closet a picture of what I wanted and asked which color would be best for that. She told me not to worry about the book of colors and that she knew exactly the color for the dip. It's time now to select a color and my new nail tech asks what number. I told her I wasn't sure, but the other nail tech knew. There was much back and forth between them in Vietnamese. Ultimately, they said that they didn't have the color. You can imagine my extreme agitation at this point. A different nail tech offered the solution of providing clear dip and then gel on top in the color I want. Can you imagine paying for dip which is twice the price of gel only to have basically gel nails? If the topcoat were to chip off (which often happens) then you would see a strange cl

I’m in love with my nails.
Having my short trip to Burlingame to visit my friend and got a surprise nails service done by Phil. He did a wonderful job. My nails originally sensitive, but it went really well by Phil’s techniques.
I have to ask him help me take picture to send to my husband right away.
Plus nail salon is clean, well-organized and has friendly vibes with warm welcome.
I highly recommend this place and will come back again for sure.

I came into the spa to get my gel nail paint removed. The guy completely butchered my nails - he used the drill machine all through the process and essentially drilled holes into my natural nail. It's been 6 weeks and my nails still have not outgrown the deep bumps and are extremely fragile. What was going to be a quick routine process has cost me the health of my nails for months. So disappointed with their lack of experience.
