Sky Nails Spa

Great place to relax. very clean and friendly. They do a wonderful job. I use Phoung for my nail fills, she does a great job. I do my pedicures there too, but usually just drop in.

This is the worst place I have ever been! They are nice but inattentive and in a hurry to rush off to the next customer, in such a hurry that they even forget to finish your manicure. I also received a cut on four of my fingers during my manicure. I am never coming back.

DO NOT GO HERE TO GET YOUR INGROWN TOE NAILS CUT. I am endied up with a cut and infection. I had been going for a year, and was overall happy withe their mani/​pedit until I asked the owenr Vivienne to assign an EXPERIENCED girl to cut my toenail as O a, a diabetic amd and it isverry serious to get cut. She said she would do it and at the last minture, assigned one of her girls to do it. Well, she cut only part of my ingrown toenails, and cut me, as two days later I woke up with a swollen toe and infection, which I believe came from their spa water, a s they no longer use the blue disinfectant in the water. When i went back to show Vivienne, she tried to first cut more and only put some oil on it and said to come back in 4 days and she would cut more. Well, this was the worst thing she could have done according to my doctor, and she did not point out it was infected. I said i would go to the doctor and she told me NOT to that they wpuld cut it out and hurt me. Well, good thing I did go to the doctor at Stanford, who confirmed the cut and infection and put me on antibiodics I then had to have toe surgery to cut out the rest of the infected ingrown toenail, which takes 4 – 8 weeks to heal. Luckily, my insurance paid for it. What I am most upset about, is the did not accept responsibility for it and lied to me about the infection. I will from now on go to the doctor to have my ingrown toe nails cut, as anyone should, especially with diabetes. Stay away from here!

Just got my nails done and I LOVE IT. The ladies there are all so nice and the prices are great. Come here once and week and always a good experience!

This place is wonderful! Staff is so nice and welcoming! They always go the extra mile to make sure you are happy with your nails. I had an early appt somewhere else so they came in extra early for me! My acrylics always last at least 3 weeks and they have such a great selection of color choices. I never go anywhere else! You won’t be disappointed!

The only reason I didn’t give all stars is because I felt very pressured into spending an extra $ 5 and getting a gel manicure.
The first time I went to Sky, I was with a friend, we got acrylic manicures and regular pedicures. They did a good job, though it was kind of pricy.
After going around and trying some of the other nail salons in San Carlos, my sister and I decided to give Sky Nails another try yesterday when we couldn’t get into our regular place and I knew Sky is usually well staffed and a good place for walk –ins. We called while we were on our way to make sure they had time and were getting our nails done within 5 minutes. The moment I sat down with Van, she asked what I wanted my nails to look like. It was like when you sit in front of a hair dresser and they ask you a million questions about your hair– I loved it. I got to tell her I wanted them medium length, rounded square shape, not too thick of gel, etc etc and my nails came out perfectly. My nails are super sensitive so I expect a small amount of pain with my acrylics, but Van paid attention to when I flinched, she would apologize and move on to another area and come back to it more carefully. If you’re looking for natural looking nails, definitely see Van!

I have been going to Sky Nails for so many years and I have never had anything but BEAUTIFUL nails and excellent service! Salon is super clean and their tools always come out of sterilized bags. My absolute favorite manicurist is Kim! But I tried other technicians and they were equally experienced, warm and kind. They would always take time to make sure the manicures and pedicures are done perfectly.
Aside from nails, they offer massages and waxing.
Great neighborhood salon!

Never disappointed when I come here. Love that they listen and are genuinely nice and care about the customer! Thank you sky nails

Never coming back here again. My mom took my fiancé’s 12 year old daughter for a manicure and they cut her cuticle so badly it made her bleed. They didn’t paint that particular nail and asked my mom to bring her back the next day to paint it. I uploaded a photo and you can see where her cuticle is now scabbing. Just awful!

I have been coming here with my big fat Arab family for over 5 years. We all come here because the service and prices are excellent.
They just got new equipment which really makes coming back worth it. I love having a brand new chair to relax on while my toes get the much needed pedicure they deserve.
They pay attention to detail, and serve water. Great service again!

This review is long overdue but I’d like to praise Van for always giving me exactly what I want. I love when my nails look and feel natural — and this is exactly what Van does for me! I ask for her EVERY time. She’s only at the salon Tuesdays-​Thursdays so I make sure I make an appointment for one of those days! If you want perfect nails, ask for Van, she won’t disappoint!

This is my first time here. I’ve read many on Unilocal and found this place to be perfect. I didn’t make any appointment just walk in. They accepted me right a away and offered me a drink. I got Kim for my pedicure and manicure. Kim was very gentle when cutting my cuticles. Overall I gave them 5 stars.
1 for take care me right away.
2 for hot tea.
3 for ten minutes foot massage.
4 for nice service and clean place.
5 for my nails look nice and clean.
Be sure I’ll come back.

Nice people, friendly to walk ins, they do a decent job, 3 fingers are cut and bleeding but i’ve never been to a nail place that has not cut me once. They at least spent a ton of time trying to make my nails as perfect as possible.

The worse pedicure and Manicure I ever had.
I will not go back.
I do Not recommend it.

Gone here a few times for nails and/​or waxing, without appts for both and they’ve taken me pretty quickly. Love the massage chairs for pedicures. They spend a good amount of time massaging legs and arms when you get your nails done. I went for a mani/​pedi on a weekday afternoon and they finished all of it (regular pedi + gel French mani) within 45 minutes. Didn’t feel rushed at all though, they just had 3 different people working on it. Ladies (and 1 guy) are nice, though always trying to get us to add on extra things (but who doesn’t). Street parking around if not too busy of a time

My go-​to nail salon for the past three years. Fong & Angela are the BEST at gel & acrylic nails. Pedicures are always amazing with a great foot massage too. Always reccommend

I have itchy feeling on my toes now after my experience there. They used unsealed tools, very poor job on applying nail polish. Is it very hard to cut nails straight? I will never come back here

I’ve come to Sky a few times for the convenience factor; but this past time, is the last time. I walked in around 10:05a on a Thursday morning and all the pedi chairs were filled. I asked for a gel mani and regular pedi.
The gel mani was ok, I chose a lighter cream color which ended up a little transparent and uneven once it was done. You can tell the technician wasn’t particularly happy with the color I chose and then told me after the polished had cured under the light that she should of layered a different polish underneath– awesome. Too late and never offered to re-​do them/​nor did I have the time. They weren’t horrible, but would of been nice to know they could of put a more opaque base underneath.
The pedicure seemed great when I left. But as I was lounging on vacation (two days later), I noticed the nail polish had vanished off the corner of toe nails… I wasn’t in sand, I wasn’t dragging my feet anywhere and I hadn’t even stepped into the pool yet. I was very disappointed. I’m not super particular and I usually do my own pedicures, so getting one for vacation is a treat for me. The price for what I received isn’t worth going back to this place. Sorry Sky, bye bye!

I’ve been religious about my mani/​pani regimen for over a year now. I go every two weeks, sometimes three because my regular place does such a bomb job!
Wellll, it was Good Friday. I had the day off and decided to get my nails done. My regular place was booked solid, and I was sad! I ended up landing an appointment at Sky Nails.
I showed up at 10:45 and I should have left. Four women walked in when I did and every chair in the house had a warm body. Nothing good can come out of a packed nail salon. I decided to risk it.
I got some guy (didn’t get his name), and while he was nice, he just didn’t get the job done. He didn’t scrub my feet long enough, he didn’t clean my toenails well enough, my massage was mostly my legs and minimal feet, and the massage was W E A K. He spent too much time giggling and prancing around the salon.
My gel mani was so, so sad. My regular place gives an AMAZING gel manicure! It can last up to three weeks. They put three to four coats of color, plus the base, and top coats. They have a wonderful OPI ultraviolet light machine, and they give amazing neck, hand, and arm massages, too.
The girl that did my mani slapped on one base coat, ONE… ONEEEEEEEE coat of gel, and a spotty top coat. There was some dust or something on my nail, and instead of wiping it off, she painted over it. OVER IT! I was, like, um… can you please redo that? She did and that made me happy. I was super uncomfy during the whole ordeal because I had to squeeze my long arms in two separate gel machines all while sitting in the massage chair. #firstworldproblems
When it was all said and done, it looked nice, but I figured I’d wait a week for the verdict.
The verdict is in: my gel mani is chipped on day 5 and my nails look disgusting. BOOOO.
Pros: nice people, friendly, accommodating
Cons: expensive price for poor quality nails

First time here .
The lady who did my nail she was sweet but couldn’t understand what I was asking ok it’s fine.
I give them star because they were nice I came like at 6pm I was greet with the hot shoulders pat which I like. The results of my nail came out not so great it was super thick and shape was short and wired. The price was $ 40 it way too expensive for the out come. Will not go back. Sorry
