Wonderful work from Lily and Mi and it only costed me $ 33! Crazy!
They all are so welcoming too!
So coming back!

I love this place, they do an excellent job and treat customers very nicely. Kimberly, the owner, is nice and friendly. She listens to what I want and always get a job well done.
I recommend the classic pedi and manicure! It’s the best I ever had

This place is a hidden gem. Very relaxing atmosphere, complimentary water bottle and snack and very professional and meticulous women working there. I have acrylic nails and Lily truly makes sure every nail is perfect every time. I have a job that is tough on my hands. But my nails always look great and last 3 weeks between fills. The pedicure chair tubs are lined with disposable liners changed between every client and I have never had better pedicures anywhere else. Kimberly the owner always makes sure clients are comfortable and satisfied with their services. Great relaxing nail spot!

If I could give them no stars I would.
I have gone twice to get a shellac manicure. BOTH times every single nail cracked and had these hideous lines on my nail. And if I’m paying about $ 30 for a manicure I want it done nicely. And places I’ve gone previously, It would not crack.
So after the first manicure (and it had cracked on each nail) I went back for a second one to give it another chance. I mentioned to the manicurist that there were all cracked and I didn’t like that and if I happened again I wanted her to fix it. She said no problem to come back if it cracked and they would fix it. So I got my manicure done, $ 27 plus tip and left. I believe her name was Lily, could be wrong.
Low and behold about 5 days later they all start to crack again. I work full time so I couldn’t go the day I noticed. So 3 days later, today, I went it and showed them. The lady that did my nails it denying it and yelling that she gave me 3 days to come back if it cracked. Lie. I’m showing the OWNER and she’s saying that it’s not their fault that my nails are cracked like that so that’s why the nail polish looks that way. Uhh, absolutely not. That makes no sense. And she was also telling me that I waited too long and that if I would’ve come sooner they would’ve fixed it. Which is probably also a lie because the lady that did my nails was being very defensive and screaming in Vietnamese behind the owner. So they did not want to help me at all and blamed it on me. Great customer service. So I continued to speak with the owner and she kept insisting it was my nails so I said «okay I just won’t come back» and began to walk out and she chased after me until I got in my car.
–terrible manicure
–terrible customer service
–rude employee
–and the owner obviously isn’t accountable or cares about customer service.
SPEND YOUR MONEY SOMEWHERE THAT IS WORTH IT. DONT GO HERE.

Worst mani/​pedi ever. I was in the shopping center so I thought I’d give it a shot. I’m going to have to go to another salon just to get my nails fixed. Some nails are much shorter than others and the color varies where too much or to little polish was applied. depending on the nail. Did I mention they accidentally cut me and didn’t even say a thing… just poured alcohol on it… I hope it was alcohol anyway.

Mimi is the best for pedicures/manicures!Moving to FL and will find it difficult to find a replacement.

First timer observations:
Reasonable price for mani/​pedi $ 36
Complimentary water and a snack
Clean pedicure chairs with awesome massages
Friendly employees
Relaxing atmosphere

I’ve had shellac manicures at different salons around San Jose and this place is, by far, the best I’ve found. The women are nice and friendly. The salon is clean and nicely decorated. They play soothing muzak in the background to drown out the awkward silence that sometimes invades nail salons. The women automatically give you a bottle of water and a cookie or some dried fruit mix when you sit down-​a considerate touch. The manicure stations face a wall of glass mirrors so you can watch what’s going on around you without seeming nosey *lol. Lily always does my manicures and she is sweet as can be. She has been doing nails for 12 years and she makes my hands look amazing. Im pretty hard on my hands and I’m a reformed nail biter so my short nails always get torn up. Lily’s shellac manicure not only looks great every time –but it often lasts 3 weeks without any chips. I mistakenly went somewhere else with a friend and paid $ 30 for a gel manicure that was chipping after 4 days. I pretty much refuse to go anywhere else from now on for manicures because this place is dependable, consistent and comfortable.
*Added bonus: Fresh n Easy, Great Wall Chinese Food and Cherry Liqours are in the same center so I usually pick up dinner and some wine or creft beer to finish off the evening!

Love that I was able to just walk in and get a pedicure right away. I usually go to a couple other places that are jam packed busy and loud on a Saturday morning, and more $$. $ 24 for a well done pedicure by Mi with all the usual extras — scrub, hot stone massage, and was offered water and trail mix. Very thorough and neat job. The place isn’t new and fancy but clean and the massage chairs are very nice. Bonus that they line the foot baths with plastic and change between customers. Will definitely return, parking is a breeze too!

I love trying new nail salons and this has to be one of my favorites! I came here on a Saturday afternoon and the place was already packed; I did shellac french manicure and regular pedicure. Service was very quick and professional. My fav go-​to girl would be Kim.
I started off with a pedicure and I have to admit, the sinks are ultra clean! They even bubble wrap the sink whereas other salons do not. After the pedicure is over, they would throw the bubble wrap away and then clean the sink itself. I’m totally a ultra clean freak when it comes to nail salons so kudos to them in my book.
French shellac manicure was very tidy and clean. I appreciate that Kim didn’t rush through my manicure even though there were multiple walk-​in clients coming in. She was very attentive, and made sure that the french tips were evenly shaped, cleaned, and shiny.
I’m a happy customer and would love to come back. :)

I drive 20 minutes from where I live just to go here because Kim is the best! She is so sweet and she gets me in and out of the store quick while still doing a fabulous job. I always feel so great walking out of here with a fresh manicure & pedicure.
All in all, it’s a cute and clean shop with affordable prices. Definitely my go-​to! Check it out!

Let me tell you about this place. This place was divine. At first I was hesitant to get the pedicure but once it began I did not regret my decision. I transported to a world of relaxation and comfort. The foot technicians were magnificent in there work. From beginning to end the pedicure was great. At the end my once disgusting feet were left beautiful.

Jessica and Dao sold this place :(
New owner seemed ok, but the manicure /​pedicure prices are higher.
Will miss Jessica, she was the best

best place ever!!! i definitely recommend here! kim is amaizing along with helen. i live in mountain view but i will make best nails and spa my official pedicure place. amazing customer service

I didn’t know that the salon had changed owners when I went in for a gel mani today. Needless to say it was a major disappointment.

Jessica and Dao were awesome! Greats hours, no waiting! Lots of colors to choose from. They offered water to my friend and me.
Parking was convenient. They answered the phone to make an appointment.
I had a full set done and my friend had a manicure done. :)

Worst pedicure I’ve ever had. Like other reviewers, I am sad to see this place change owners. This used to be my go to salon every 3 weeks. On my most recent visit I was so disappointed.
First — the water was so hot it burned me, and I can tolerate hot water pretty well.
Secondly — the massage hurt. She had no idea what she was doing. I could not wait for it to end.
Lastly — the nail polish was thickly applied and chipped in a week.
I’ve moved on and won’t be back.

Was very disappointed to find that Cindy had sold the salon, but decided to give the new people a shot. The prices have been raised, and the pedicure was fine, but I was really put off by the hard sell. I felt like I was at a used car lot. I was repeatedly asked if I wanted this additional service or that additional service… not relaxing at all. I also had to ask several times where Cindy was before getting a straight answer. First they said she was off, then she’d be back soon, then they finally admitted they were new owners.
While I don’t have any complaints about the pedicure itself, I’ll probably start going somewhere else.

ALERT: This nail salon has been SOLD as of the middle of May 2014!
I came in here expecting to chat it up with my fave gals (Cindy, original owner of Best Nails) and her hottie sister, Linda but they both weren’t there… which I thought was odd.
When I did come in though, there was a weird Asian man, with glasses and a laptop. He asked if I had an appointment and got confused when I said I did. Then he called over to this «coffee shop ABG (asian baby girl)» lookin’ Vietnamese lady and asked if she could help me. I told her I made an appointment with Cindy and she said, «Oh, she didn’t tell me.» Then she proceeded to call a younger gal out to do my gel manicure for me.
During my gel mani, I was trying to get to know the younger gal and the same lady from earlier was working next to her so she pretty much wanted to join in on our conversation. She kept asking me where I lived and such. I then asked her, «Where is Cindy and Linda?» She said, «Oh, they on VACATION.» That’s when it ALL made sense to me. Freakin’ Cindy SOLD the salon! And this darn lady is lying straight to my face. NO BUENO.
Now back to my gel mani. Let’s just say it turned out… decent. But it was quite PAINFUL. Not only was the simple cuticle removal process painful, but the massage was as well AND the young girl accidentally cut my pinky finger with one of the emery boards she used on my nails (apparently she used the wrong one).
Let’s all shed a tear for me please because now I have to go and find me a new fave nail salon. :’(
P. S. Honesty is the ONLY policy in my book and if you can’t get that right then you ain’t gonna ever get it right with me honey.

So that was the worst manicure ever! I thought I would give this place a shot since it is right around the corner from my house and has good reviews. But, man, was this experience a disaster.
First, the woman who did my nails cut me. I figured, it happens sometimes. But after she finished filing my nails, I thought my right hand looked great. My left hand, however, was a disaster. One of the nails was actually about 25% shorter than the rest! I measured. It’s a quarter inch shorter than the same nail on the right hand, and my nail is actually less than an inch long so it’s really more than 25%. That’s a huge difference.
It was a gel manicure, and the color is blotchy. It looks pretty bad.
When the manicurist finished, I showed the owner my nails. I said, «I think you should see how uneven they are.» She said, «Yeah. We can put on another coat.» I said, «I also think the length is very uneven.» She acknowledged that the length was uneven and said, «I will tell her to do it right next time.» Yeah. That makes everything all right. She also offered to cut down the rest of my nails to match the shortest nail which was already way too short. Not happening.
So, not only do my nails look terrible, my finger is cut. I also really appreciated the full price I was required to pay for the awful job that both the manicurist and owner acknowledged was done to my nails.
