Milpitas Nail Spa

I wish I could give a 2.5… I even thought about a 3, but I just don’t know. It didn’t do it for me.
First, the layout is really cramped. If you are getting a manicure, you have people within a foot behind you waiting for their turn or picking out their nail polish. Someone is getting a manicure, and someone else is picking out nail polish, you better wait your turn to leave the store (store? salon? whatever you want to call it).
There also isn’t much room to move around in the pedicure area.
The pedicure was OK. It was nothing to write home about, but had I just had the pedicure and it hadn’t been so cramped, I might have given it a 3. I may have given it a 3 even if it was cramped, but she cut my toe. I said «ow,» and still she kept digging in where it was cut. Ultimately this made the pedicure unpleasant. It also made the evening (I was there for a wedding) less than pleasant. My toe hurt and got worse as the night went on. It ultimately got infected, which is never fun.
I probably wouldn’t go back, hence the 2 stars. There were some girls who came in that were obviously regulars and loved it, you could tell. So I am sure it is OK. You’d probably be OK going here. Just be careful, and speak up if they hurt you. Also, the nail polish took FOREVER to dry. So just be prepared for that. Seems they don’t really use the quick drying topcoat to set the polish… or they use one that isn’t very good.

I walked in at 4:00 pm, waited to be seated for about five minutes, and was walking out the door (services done) by 4:30 pm. I asked for a Shelac gel nail color ($ 20) (because I always have trouble picking a good Shellac color) and a pedicure combo ($ 28). They were very helpful in picking out a color and checked with me after doing one nail to make sure I liked it.
Nothing special, but good enough and both services were thorough.
