Top Best 15 Nail Salons in San Jose, Santa Clara

Bo NaKoa Amazing work! So detailed. I couldn’t recommend this place more. I’ve been to most salons in Campbell but not going anywhere else again. It’s tucked away off Bascom, 3 minutes from pruneyard but once you find this gem you won’t look anywhere else. The ladies are so friendly and passionate about making sure you’re happy. Pedicures take at least an hour curated and detailed to your liking. Family/ Female owned small business, that deserves all the credit. I would give 10 stars if I could!

Yasmin This place is wonderful. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, comfy chairs, tea, great selection of colors and services, and they can do the design you want but better. I love my cherry blossom nails and would love to come back soon.

Carolina I had taken time off work and drove all the way from Gilroy, where I work, only to be told that my appointment had been canceled by my usual nail technician due to her mistake of double-booking. After that, I was feeling upset, but THANK GOD, I found this nail salon nearby. From the moment I walked in, they were so attentive and kind. I can be hard to please because of my perfectionism, but I was extremely happy with the results. The male nail technician did an amazing job! He put so much time, effort, and attention to detail into his work. I was also pleasantly surprised by how reasonable the prices were. I’ll definitely be coming back! I got acrylic over my natural nail with a white tip, and I was so impressed with how well they turned out. The two female staff members were also incredibly kind and welcoming. I highly recommend their nail salon!

Alexandra Klimowski It was my first time at Jade and it definitely didn’t disappoint! I have an event on Saturday and I talked with her about what I was looking at. She was very accommodating. I showed her my inspired photo and my nails turned out amazing! It was so much more affordable than my usual nail salon. I’ll definitely be back!

Charvita Nema I found this salon due to the amazing reviews and I was NOT disappointed!! I came right at opening time and they immediately started my gel x nails. The staff was clean and meticulous with the details!They matched my inspo pic very well!! I absolutely loved how my nails turned out and I’m so glad I found a new nail salon to go to anytime I want to get gel x nails done! Loved the work and def recommend to everyone!!

Sandie Moore I get my nails done here. Lana is great. Professional, quick but not sloppy. My nails turn out great every time

Abi Vahdatinia Excellent service, very clean, one customer at a time policy protects everyone.

Rachel Salinas This is by far the best gel manicure Ive ever received. I recently removed my acrylics and usually Ill get a gel manicure after. I decided to get a gel manicure at Scott and Benton nails for the first time, and typically my nails will feel frail and weak. That did not happen this time! This is the strongest gel manicure Ive ever had. I got them done after two weeks but I easily couldve gone another week or two before getting them done. She also has an amazing selection of colors. Any any color you can think of she will have it. She takes her time which is why the manicure lasts so long. For me to get a gel manicure it took about 45 to 50 minutes, which for me is the perfect time to spend in the chair. I love that I can make an appointment and get in on time anytime I need to come. I will be making this my regular place for nails. My gel manicure was $30

Stephanie Beck-Crites Lana only takes one customer at a time, so you get her full attention. It was one of the nicest Mani/Pedi experiences Ive had.

Julia Wixted I have been coming to Lotus Nails for the past 3 months. I use to go to another nail salon near by but decided to give Lotus Nails a try after being unhappy with the gel manicures I had been getting from the other nail salon. After getting my first gel manicure and pedicure I new I had found my new go to salon. First of all, my gel lasts easily 2-3 weeks (on both my hands and toes). Second, the nail techs take their time to ensure you are happy with your experience and nails. I usually go first thing in the morning during the week and getting into a chair for service is not an issue. I can see them getting busy during the weekend so be sure to make an appointment if you plan to stop by on those busy days. I would 100% recommend Lotus Nails.

Trang Vu This salon is very clean and looks so cute. The workers were friendly. Im very happy with my nails! I will definitely visit again!

Jeff I went here for my sister’s birthday and all the staff were beyond helpful. I needed more help than usual because my fault for trying to use a foot mask at home. In the end for the future I should stick to lotus nails as they are true professional magicians that cleaned up my feet. My aunt had her nails done for Halloween as well, the amount of detail they spent on it is an exuberant sight to see.

Carla Soto I have been getting my nails done at Lotus Nails for about six months now. I am so happy with their services. Jessica and her staff are very professional and attentive. Everyone is very friendly and they offer great service to everyone. I particularly love how Jessica does my nails because she pays attention to details, and has the greatest designs. I recommend this nail salon to everyone.

emely rivera Van did an amazing job on my pedicure! She matched the reference photo perfectly and paid such close attention to detail. My nails came out exactly how I wanted, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. She’s meticulous, professional, and truly talented. I’ll definitely be coming back—highly recommend her!

Mia Emerson Horrible experience at Vienna nails..i asked for thinner eyebrows. She said it didnt match my face and she already cut a lot off. Not only do I hate the eyebrows. She wouldnt fix them..there is so much hair left. Its not even clean under. Not only did she not clean any wax off my face she got it in my hair. I wont be coming back.

Rose Legaspi Van was very nice and good with my mom who has ingrown toenails that needed to be taken care of since I live on east coast and can’t maintain Mom’s nails. I will always take her back here when I visit. It was easy to call 2 days before and make appointment. Very nice atmosphere too!

Tiffany H. Came back to the USA after 3 years living in another country..and I wanted to find a nail salon near my place that is good and close. There are actually 2 nail salons walking distance from my place but they both have horrible reviews so I decided to come to Vienna Nails and Lash after reading wonderful reviews on Yelp/Google. My first time coming here was on a Saturday. I came in right when they opened at 9am. Tina and Mindy greeted me instantly. Tina ended up doing my fill. While Tina was working on my nails Mindy asked if I wanted anything to drink..water, tea, coffee, etc.. I declined..but how nice!!! Tina was very meticulous with my nails and I could tell she was taking her time doing my nails. I really liked how my nails turned out with Tina..and told her I would be back!!! My second time here was on a Wednesday afternoon. I called ahead and asked if I could get my nails done with Tina in about 30 minutes. They were able to take me in 30 minutes for a fill with Tina. Once again Tina did a FANTASTIC job with my fill!!! They do waxing here too..so after I was done with my fill..Mindy waxed my eyebrows and upper lip. Mindy was great and super friendly!!! I will be coming back to Vienna Nails and Lash to get my nails done every two weeks with Tina. I will also be coming to Mindy to wax my eyebrows and upper lip. Come here if you want affordable nails and friendly service!!!

Ramona Hockett Amy did an excellent job with my pedicure. Very clean, quiet, and relaxing. Prices were fair too.

Joshua Villarin I’m coming back for the second time and they did such an amazing job again! Shout out to Kim and her amazing service!!! Her team is super sweet and it’s always so calm in here! My man hands turned into hands!

Shikiko Washington Pedicures are consistent and fine, but their acrylic sets can use work. The two times I went, they have not been good work at all. Will not go back for hand nail designs/acrylics. Reply to owners: while I was sitting in the chair, I did tell the nail tech that I was unhappy with the design. She also knew that she took forever to get the nails done after struggling for over 2 hours (she had to keep restarting my nails since she did not know how to do most of the designs, especially with the hard gel technique) and I needed to leave (which we both acknowledged). In addition to this, I asked the nail tech if she was capable of doing the design before starting so we can be as efficient with time as possible. She told me yes, which was the furthest from the truth. If she would’ve told me no, I would’ve changed the design to something closer to her scope or just left (which was something I was originally planning to do). Next time, be honest about your skill set so customers dont have to be at the salon for over 4 hours for a mediocre experience. Thanks

Emma and Aldana Sisters forever Do not go here for waxing. Horrendous $35 for them to not even get all the hair. Wax wasn’t working for some reason. NAILS were really bad not what I asked for and I corrected her from the picture… said she would change it later never did then got upset. We ended up having another lady finish. Kim is amazing for acrylic nails. These picture are 40 minutes after the appointment. lol highly disappointed. I also included the reference photo we showed the lady.

bartika dutta This nail salon is all about efficient service, and friendly people! It is going to be my go-to spot from now on. Prices are very affordable, and it is evident that the staff care about their customers. I got a geometric abstraction kind of design on one of the nails, and the technician made sure that she did not miss a spot! I got bottles of water without asking for them. My daughter loved her full set nails too! It is evident that they stay on top of cleaning and sanitation too.

S Barr First time visiting Mega Nail Bar. I was able to make a same day appointment. Shout out to Mia for making my nails a beautiful work of art. Mia was able to make my vision come alive. I’m so excited to return to Mega Nails. Thank you Mia !!! I received a manicure and pedicure — I did splurge because it was my birthday (they did give me some percentage off) The vibe was great! Thank you for everything. I posted some before and after photos !! SHOUT OUT MIA. YOU ARE AMAZING!!!

Arlene Ponce I had an amazing experience at Mega Nails Bar! It’s my second time in this new location but I am regular customer of original spot for long time.The service was incredible. Everyone was so gentle, kind, and professional. I went in for a full set and it was done perfectly. Trinh is the sweetest! The attention to detail and care she puts into the service was fantastic, and the price was just right! Your nails come out just as your inspo picture or even better!! I absolutely love this place and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!!!

Jennifer Tran It was my first time coming here and Roy worked on my nails. He did an amazing job and I’m so happy with the final result! He was very patient and worked on each nail diligently. Highly recommend!

Madison Kelly I came to this salon with a botched job at a different place. Julie was wonderful. She took such good care of me and made sure my shape and nails were perfect. The design that she did ended up being so perfectly executed! Everyone in the salon was kind and welcoming. Will be back!

Alexandria marks I went in for a hard gel/builder gel set on natural nails. The nail tech was great and executed the design perfectly. The gel application is smooth and thin. I feel like this set will last me at least 3-4weeks. Usually appointments like this are 2.5 hours but I was pleasantly surprised when I was out in 1.5hours. I do recommend making an appointment instead of doing a walk in.

Donna Carpenter Eric and I thoroughly enjoyed our manicure and pedicure session by Lina and Katie respectively. Any day at the salon is relaxing and they didn’t disappoint. We were pampered. Thank you so much!

Samantha Jumamil Estropia Having recently moved to SJ, I’ve been desperate to find my go-to nail tech and salon. This place was recommended to me by someone that lives in my building and I’m so glad I made that appointment. Their online scheduling process is super easy and organized. My nail tech, Joyce, did an amazing job mimicking a photo I sent ahead of time (uploaded as reference). When I sat down, I saw that she practiced mixing the colors ahead of time and showed me an example of what it’ll look like. I was also super impressed with how fast she did my nails. I was in and out in 30 minutes and the quality of her work was not compromised despite the short amount of time. It was also my first time getting Gel-X and a marble design. I am obsessed!

Christina S There’s a reason why this place is five stars. This place was so accommodating to me when I needed to get my nails done before a conference in San Jose. I am not local to this area. But read the reviews and took a chance. Fortunately, Chloe was able to squeeze me into her schedule today. And I am seriously so, so, so happy with how my nails turned out! I really couldn’t have asked for a better experience. And it was pretty quick too. I was out of there in about 1 hour and 10 minutes for a gel fill-in with designs. Highly recommend this spot! It’s is a busy place, lots of people. Will definitely be back whenever I’m not able to get my nails done before traveling for work!

Betsy Wade I was visiting from out of town and this was by far the BEST manicure and pedicure I have ever had. Their special services were above and beyond - heated shoulder wrap, hot stone leg massage, collagen hand wraps, neck and shoulders massage, sparkling rose, and the rose petals and lemon slices were amazing. It was very relaxing after a long flight.

lauren sugay This place is clean, efficient, and they do an incredible job on my nails. I’ve gotten plenty of compliments on my nails and the Gel-X have lasted for 5 weeks. I’m so pleased with the value and durability of these nails - especially because i am rough with my hands and wash them often at work. I also had a pedicure done and they did an excellent job with shaping and cleaning as well! I would recommend anyone to come here if they are in the area!

Raquel Shade Loved my very first experience at this place was very nice and they treat you like a queen! Definitely recommend and would come back!

amy paneda This was my first time at Regal Nail & Spa I had Lucy service me for my acrylic fill. I am very happy with my results!! Lucy made me feel comfortable and welcomed. She is incredibly talented and meticulous, ensuring every detail was perfect. I came in originally wanting coffin shaped nails. She suggested almond would suit me better. I was a little nervous because I have never done almond before. But they came out beautiful! She took a lot of time and detail getting the shape perfect. She even worked very carefully and gentle around one of my broken nails. Lucy took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and offered great suggestions. Her skill and precision exceeded expectations and my nails look beautiful! The acrylics are strong, beautifully shaped, the polish is also stunning.

Nicole Hernandez VY is the absolute sweetest, and best. She is so detailed oriented, and it really shows. Been going to her for 4 years, and wouldn’t ever change! I have been going to Brandon for over 5 years, and truly cannot say enough good things. He is the kindest and most patient, and always make sure I am happy with my nails through the process.

Shannon Proverbs WOW!! Im from Dallas but this nail shop would give even our best shop a run for their money. The talent and the service is absolutely incredible. Hannah is an amazing artisan and super fun to talk to. I am considering flying out when i can just have them bless me with their talents. Super happy and grateful for a job well done. The shop is very cozy and reasonably priced for service.

Emily Alvarez I just left the salon and noticed my real nails underneath my acrylic nails are gone. They filed my real nails right off during the session once I noticed it was too late. I told her the shes been filing my real nail off and her excuse was that my nails are too thin. She continued to put nail glue on the back on my nail as you can see in the photo. She was also smacking my fingers after I confronted her. Very disrespectful… I will never come to this salon again they damaged my real nails…… beside that I like how they did my nails but was it worth damaging my real nails for 145$ absolutely NOT…I’m disappointed!!!

Grace Ng Tammy and Judy did a great job on my mani and pedi. Tammy did my gel overlay manicure and Judy did my gel pedicure. This was my first time at the salon and it was so serene and clean. I will be back again. Thank you!

Rebecca Okurowski I am so glad I found this salon. Both Judy and Lauren were very professional. Judy was always very polite and always made sure if I liked the direction my nails were going in. We even tried some things Id very thought Id do with my nails and now Im in love. I will definitely be coming back.

marisa I have had an amazing experience each time I have came to this salon. Kelly does my nails, and she does a great job each time. The end product is always very clean and neat.

Vanessa D This is my second time getting nails done by Phuong (Kelly). She’s super friendly and professional. She helped me choose the right color, especially did my nails carefully, which is very important to me because I need my nails to still look fine when they grow. I love how she shaped my nails because they are all even perfectly. Will always count on Kelly for beautiful nails before an important event.

Irene Guzman I really enjoyed my experience. I walked in to get a manicure and pedicure. The place was really busy and they were still able to get to me quickly. I was there for about an hour and a half. Both ladies were really nice and did a great job. Thy did my manicure.

JS Family Went in for a pedicure and hand gel color change and nail trim. Vicky always does an awesome job!! Love the beautiful nail colors she suggests! Last time was purple on the hands and today is blue. Beautiful colors!!

Angelique Jimenez Today I had an appointment at Kitchen Nail Bar on Brokaw Rd with the lovely Ivy

Krystal Wallace Manly!!!!! Is the best ! Seriously when it comes to questions about foot care, nail care , advice for the right service for you Manly would be the One You want ! I have followed manly from her last shop just because she’s that Great! She is not like some stories you here where they recommend a bunch of unnecessary add-ons, she’s the type that will tell you I will clean your feet but not put the gel or any powder so your nails will get stronger or say your nails need a rest to prevent damage! Manly doesn’t care about making the “Big Sale” what she cares about is her work and the quality and helpful support she brings along with her brilliance. She’s gone out of her way to bring me nail polish for strength and anti bacterial medicine for and when my feet are in their wild zone phase ! I come religiously to manly. I started out with almost no nails on my feet but manly brought all that back with the proper sanitation and cleaning! She truly is the best ! Ask for Manly for your pedicure I promise you’ll never be disappointed or go to anyone else , she gives you what you need , in addition to what you want !!!!

Karina Gaspar Manly(nail tech) never disappoints me! I love coming to get my nails done with her. I usually go for gel-x and cuticle care. She’s always attentive with the detail and i love that about her. In addition, she is always very careful with my hands and fingers, never too rough.

Debbie Reiley My regular manicurist was on vacation. They asked me to try Jolie. She did an amazing job! They were very busy, but I never felt like she was rushing. She paid great attention to detail. I am very pleased with the end result!

Sandra Au Great experience with manicure and pedicure. Katie recommended colors based on the effects that I wanted to achieve. It was a relaxing and indulging experience. Hang did my nails 3 times, and she was consistently meticulous as well! So grateful that Ive found a place I can trust my Mani/Pedi to! Kim did a marvelous cat eye gel manicure for me. Its the first time I tried cat eye. Even though I know cat eye shows much better with a dark background color, Im afraid of the dramatic dark color. The light color with a darker shade as accents worked well.

Emma Payne I always get my extensions here, I’ve gotten both Gel x and powder extensions. Jolie is the best nail technician. She has great attention to detail and the nails last without breaking. She is able to make changes if you have a problem with something, which I appreciate. Price is reasonable too. I’ll keep coming here as long as I’m in the area.

Catherine Le Had my engagement nails done by Jolie and am so happy with the results! The prettiest pink color and ombré sparkles. I love the shape and length, fits perfectly with my fingers. My nails feels really strong and healthy too Highly recommend!

Kellen Fellows Wonderful experience. Staff was incredibly friendly, accommodating, and professional. The salon was very clean and updated! Kathy did an amazing and thorough job on my pedicure! Would definitely return and recommend!!!

Marjorie Moehrke They have talented stay who can mimic any photo on a persons nails or toes. The salon is clean without TV or loud music. Its very relaxing. Prices are not cheap nor are they too expensive.

Scarlett Chang It’s a good nail salon! The manager is very friendly and helpful, and the service is great. But choosing the right nail technician is “key”!!!!!!!! I wasn’t too satisfied with today’s results—the massage and nail smoothness weren’t ideal. That said, I’d still recommend giving it a try!

Cori Nieri Lovely friendly, professional and intimate pedicure lounge! Pleasantly clean and quite favorable comments shared with me from other customers about all the manicurists and the well done pedicures received. This was my first time there and I absolutely will be returning! Thank you Cathy for the great pedi!

Leona Messink I am very picky with my nails, and when my regular nail salon was temp closed for refurbishment I had to find another salon as I had a trip planned. Based on the reviews I decided to try Pedi Nail Lounge. Mai was very welcoming and friendly and the salon is also welcoming, bright and very clean. I have no complaints with my regular place but wow, what quality and service. Kim was amazing, she really took her time. I had an acrylic fill and usually I am in and out in about 25 mins, and it took nearly an hour here. Not a complaint, the extra time was so worth it. Kims attention to detail is not something I have encountered before, she did a beautiful job. The prices are very fair and competitive with other salons, and parking is very easy. I am so happy with Pedi Nail Lounge, they are now my new regular salon (sorry previous place) and I will definitely ask for Kim again next time. Highly recommend them!

Darchelle Esteban ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Legendary Nail Spa is above the rest. Helen has been doing my nails for 18+ years. She is the best. Tina does my pedicures and is top notch. There is nowhere/no one else I would give my hard earned money to. If you are looking for a family owned, friendly, professional and quality of nails and pedicures, I suggest you give them a call. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Norma Rodriguez I have been getting my nails done by Helen for over 20 years and wouldn’t go anywhere else. Come check out her new salon Legendary Nails and spa. It is a beautiful salon! Everyone is so welcoming and it’s very relaxing while you are getting your services done. She is always up for the challenge when I bring in a nail design inspiration pic.

Ivana Tran I been going to Helen for a couple years now! I live an hour away but still make the drive to get my nails done with Helen. Her work is amazing! She’s very understanding & her prices are reasonable.

Esperanza Cortez Helen always does a great job on my nails!! The environment is always great and very friendly. I ve been going to Helen for 4 years! She never disappoints.

ruby melgoza If you’re looking for a AMAZING NAIL SALON THIS IS THE SPOT!! I had an amazing experience at the nail salon! The staff was super friendly and made me feel really comfortable. They took their time with my nails, and it showed in the results. The place was clean and relaxing, which made it even better. I left feeling pampered and my nails looked fantastic! I cant wait to go back.

MathSciFiFemme LILY always does an amazing job with my nails. This time we did a butterfly cat’s eye design on my Gel-X extensions. I love it! TINA has done my pedicure the last few times and over time my toes have become prettier and healthier. Her massages are heavenly! It’s almost spring so my toesies are green.

Josefina Cortinas Tracy is amazing! I’ve been going to her for awhile now for Gel-X and she is the best! I always bring in a picture for inspiration and Tracy’s color matching and design execution keeps my nails looking fantastic!

Florence R By far, Julie is the best manicurist. She’s super sweet and nice. She pays attention to detail, meticulous, very gentle and does an overall amazing job. I had a not so great job done the last time from somewhere else and she fixed it perfectly. Had a bow 3-D placed for the first time, and I just love it and what a great job she did. Highly recommend Julie and this location.

Pooja Gajipara Let me tell you, this pedicure was so good, I almost fell asleep in the chair! Hana was a foot massage wizard—pedicure with 15 minutes massage was pure bliss that made me feel like I’d just taken a mini-vacation. She went on a quest to find the perfect nail polish shade I’d shown her in a picture (because of course, I showed up with a Pinterest vision). And trust me, she nailed it! Ruby, the manicure queen, kept checking in with me, making sure my nails were nothing short of fabulous. The salon was sparkling clean, and the staff was so friendly, I felt like I was catching up with old friends. Oh, and they let you tip through Venmo, which is clutch, because I never have cash on me. So yes, this place is a must-visit. 10/10 would highly recommend! Pedicure-89$ Manicure-45$

linh nguyen Love my beautiful nails. Also, The ladies here are very friendly and nice. I appreciate the way she took her time to do my nails. Definitely recommend this place to my friends and family.

lan vy nguyễn hồ I love this place, recommend this place too. It perfect price and she did so good. Have been a lot of place but I love this place, I got what I ask. One more time price good and design good too

Madison Kelly The customer service is amazing. The price is unbeatable. I always get so many compliments on my nails. They are on top of things at this salon.

Stacy Lara The care is great, many many colors and options to choose from. Kelly is always ready to work with your schedule and accommodate you. The nails always look great and she listen to your request and give you advice. I have been going for so many years and she always does a great, wonderful job.
