Angel Nails

I have been coming to Angel Nails for over 3 years now and Tina has always done an amazing job. She knows exactly how I like my nails and has also built a great bond over the years! Tina is in my opinion the best and will be sure to make you happy if you explain what you would like. Lynn also does my waxing and is extremely friendly. I love the ladies at Angel Nails and recommend asking for Tina if you want an amazing job!

DON’T COME HERE, EVER!!!
My boyfriend and I are going up to the city tomorrow (Friday) for a nice dinner and I realized that I hadn’t gotten my nails done in over a month and they were looking preeetty crusty. My schedule was jam-​packed and I had numerous errands to run before the weekend, so instead of going to my usual nail salon (Michelle’s Nail Spa in Sunnyvale) for a gel manicure and regular pedicure, I decided to drop by Angel Nails inside Westfield Valley Fair for the sake of time and efficiency. Little did I know, I was better off going to dinner with my nasty ass nails…
The two ladies who worked on my nails simultaneously non-​stop tried to upsell me on services I did NOT need. The woman who did my pedicure did a SHIT job of painting my toenails; I could’ve painted them better using my own feet. My gel nails were slightly better, but they still have bubbles in them. Ugh.
WORST OF ALL, because I wore sneakers, they had me dry my feet under a fan for 30 minutes afterwards. Once my time with the fan was up, I paid ($ 58 plus tip) and asked if it was alright to put my socks and sneakers back on. They said, «no problem,» so I went home with my Nikes on. ONCE I GOT HOME AND TOOK OFF MY SOCKS, ALL OF THE NAIL POLISH WAS GONE!!! My toes were completely wiped off. No words.
I WANT MY MONEY BACK.

Standard nail salon where your manicure comes with a side of insults. I’m used to the nail salon up sell, but these ladies are super pushy. I’m not interested in a haircut or getting my brows or mustache waxed. Thanks.

I am a customer of many years but they completely changed once they went to the new location. They are WAY TO FORCEFUL about getting upgrades and extras. I know it’s at a upscale mall but I am not a rich woman and getting a regular pedicure is a luxury for me every 6 – 8 weeks. I wish I had time to find another place because their customer service is not good. They do nails fine but if you want to feel guilty about not getting the upgraded service. The one lady who used to do my toes and make me feel like a queen is now at the desk.

Once I got home, I decided to write a review since I had a good experience in the store.
I didn’t look at Unilocal prior to coming to the place since I was in a rush, and I was already at the mall so I thought might as well try it and so I did!
The lady that helped me (I forgot her name, Kathy? Katie?) was really patient and did a really good job! She was very thorough and cleaned my dry skin around my nails for free! I wanted the nails to look natural as much as possible and they sure do look natural. The thickness of the nails are perfect and even. Overall, she did an amazing job! And I will definitely come back and ask for her.

Horrible experience! I got the gel nails 3 DAYS AGO and all of them are coming off already! I posted a pic but they probably won’t show it, since its a horrible picture. Don’t get ur nails done there! They won’t even do what u asked for BC I asked for fake nails, and that ended up doing gel nail, I tried to stop the lady, but she said «Next time, Next time» like Really?, I DONT HAVE A NEXT TIME ! ESPECIALLY HERE!

I came here a couple of weeks ago on my birthday and it was the worst manicure I’ve ever gotten; the thought of it has been plaguing me. Not only was it a rushed job with old goopy nail polish where my cuticles weren’t done properly, but I was being sales pitches for addition services throughout. Even my boyfriend who came in got hit up (they asked if he wanted a haircut). Don’t waste your time and money and hopefully this place will fade away.

Yikes!
I knew I should have checked Unilocal prior to stepping through their glass doors. However, when due for some R&R and Angels is in the nearest vicinity. you find yourself here *sigh*
Two stars basically sums it up as I got my nails done on a Friday and started to see signs and symptoms of polish deterioration and destruction by Monday evening. That’s like 72 hours later. I was shocked — borderline trippen. I mean, my nails were JUST did. They get their one star of redemption solely for customer service. The lady who did my nails (I’ll leave names out this time) was amazingly up there in Customer Service Heaven. She up-​sells awesomely well too: how bout she talked me into a French mani plus pedi that I wasn’t planning on plus a massage. I dunno, but she was good. She must’ve been a therapist in the past too as she does your nails and converses with you about all things A to Z while you’re there. You feel a little vulnerable by the end of your visit too, a little nakie, with clothes on.
Unless by some odd, off-​day miracle, I really won’t be back. Which really sucks since I’m at this mall a lot, and it would have been nice to just pop in there when my paws needed some lovin.

I usually go to Kathy and she has always gave me great customer service but the gel never seemed to last to long. But I continued to go because I work at the mall and it was convenient … But last visit was my last straw I was taken by a girl who’s station was right by the door and she was the worst. She kept telling me to take my nails out of the heating lamps when they were not dry! She would mess them up after they were still wet and then tell
Me I messed them up? Then she was talking about me to her little friend next to her! Im not stupid I work in cosmetics and they were both looking at me ! Then she rudely answered the phone in the middle of my service … Never will I go there again. Bad reviews to anyone who asks.

Worst place ever. Just don’t go get your nails done. The lady messed up on my nails I had to come back after work and she tried charging me for re painting

Came here on a whim: I was already at the mall. I had time to kill. They accept walk-​ins. And I needed a pedicure. Their basic pedi was reasonably priced IMO ($ 23) and I came at a time when there was only one other patron there … so why not?
The overall experience was OK. I was satisfied with the paint job but I can see why this place has sucky reviews.
CONS:
— they seem to have a large nail color collection, but it’s all over the place! Super unorganized and messy. You literally have to look at 3 different walls in order to find the right nail polish.
— they pester you a few times on other services; even after many many NOs. «Want a mani?» No thanks. «Want eyebrow wax?» No, just a pedicure. «Want manicure?» No. «You sure no manicure?» NO … –_​_​_​–
— My lady took her sweet sweet time doing my nails (which is good in a sense) but a 30-​minute job took them 45-​minutes. They’re not efficient when they need to be
— the place seems a bit run down.

Came here with my friends to get our nails done for one of their weddings. Most of my friends got a manicure and two of us got a pedicure. I got a pedicure.
CUSTOMER SERVICE:
Not good at all. They rush you and are rude. It is kind of comical actually. My woman gave me bad looks when I told her «no thank you» for whatever service she was trying to get me to do. When I said no to an eyebrow wax, she gave me a look like I had a unibrow and was in desperate need of a wax haha… no my eyebrows are perfectly fine, thank you. My friends all had the same done to them. Just is so annoying to have services pushed on you. When I was done with my pedicure, all other places I have been to have let me sit there while my toes dried. She was rushing me out of my seat even when no one was waiting to get their toes done and sit in one of the pedicure chairs.
SERVICE:
The basic pedicure is what I got, as well as a paraffin wax. It was very reasonably priced. She did a good job. so far has not chipped and it has been a week.
One thing they have going for them (and this is probably because they rush) is wait time. We came on a Friday and had no wait.
OVERALL: I would not go back because of the service. I don’t live nearby anyways.

I will give them zero star if I could. Walked in to remove my old gel polish. It only cost 10 dollars and probably they think I am not a valuable customer. A hair stylist was assigned to help me and he didn’t even know how to do it! They ruined my nails and the process was freaking painful. Lesson learned and will never never never go back. So curious why they can survive for such a long time.

If you wanna go there it’s ok… But avoid TINA !!
She’s rude, unfriendly, doesn’t respect customers, make you feel
Ike she’s doing you a favor …, you can tell that only by looking at her face!!!
When I saw she was the one who will do my nails I thought: mmmmmm…
It will not gonna be good…, BINGO!!!

That’s it. I’m never coming here again.
This is my second time here, and I thought I’d give it another chance, considering the fact that the first experience wasn’t so pleasant because the workers were fighting and cursing at each other in Vietnamese. I’m Vietnamese, so I understood what they were saying. It was pretty much a bunch of silly unnecessary name-​calling that just gave a very unprofessional feel to the salon.
I could tell that the other ladies who were there to get their nails done were feeling uncomfortable as well.
However, my nails turned out decent looking, and so, like I said, I decided to give it another try.
I came back today, and boy do I regret it. I asked for Shellac manicure and regular pedicure. The water that they used on me was NOT warm, it was cold. And they didn’t use the hot towel on my feet like other nail salons do. And yet, they charge MORE. $ 23. It was a quick pedicure that involved no real massaging. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY.
And onto the Shellac mani, she did a horrible job. My nails do not look even close to being as nice as the other nail salons I’ve been to. What a poor job. And She charged $ 32 for it! I don’t usually complain, but this place just doesn’t meet my expectations for how much they charge.

I am NEVER going back to this place.
I went here with my mom to treat her and myself to a mani pedi. I got Tina as my manicurist and at first she was really friendly, asking me questions about life and shit. When she started doing my French manicure, I told her I liked the white tip straight and not curved. She started telling me that I have bad style and that’s not how French manicures are supposed to be. I insisted that she make them straight, after all I am the damn customer. She still added a slight curve to the white tips and told me, «This is the straightest I can make them.» Wtf?!
When Tina got to my other hand, one of the white tips was messy so I asked her to fix it. She aggressively grabbed my hand, causing my pinky nail to smear and she got mad, telling me it’s my fault for moving.
When my mom and I finished, I took a look at my mom’s hands and she had gotten the SHITTIEST manicure I have ever had to pay for. Because my mom’s far sighted, she wasn’t aware. But shouldn’t the manicurist know how shitty her work is?!
Needless to say, I would not recommend this place.

It was an emergency pedi. My toes were about to be encased in a pair of gold strappy shoes topped with a sparkling pineapple embellishment. Yes, pineapple! Believe me, it’s very cute… however, my toes were NOt. The toes had chipped up Tiffany blue nail polish that was screaming to come off (AHHHHHHHH!)! Since the wedding banquet that I was attending was close to this location, I did a walk-​in to any random nail shop.

Upon entering, they asked if I was Filipino. No. Well, he argued that I look Filipino. I said, no, I’m not. He said, you look like it. I said NO! I’m over this conversation. Please people, if I say I’m not Filipino, please stop there. I have no idea why they keep pushing me. I can’t turn into Filipino with a drop of a dime. Phish!

After sitting on the massage chair, I wanted to turn it on. I asked the pedi-​ist how to turn it on. She didn’t know and starting shouting in Vietnamese that this bitch doesn’t know how to turn on the massage chair and to have someone help me. Okay, I’m not really sure if she said that but it sure as hell sounded like it when you don’t understand that language. After several trial and errors for a good 5 minutes that felt like a million year, the massage turns on. Finally!

I came in with my Sam Edison ballet flats. My bad for not wearing flipflops. So, they told me to upgrade to gel polish to ensure my pedi doesn’t get smashed up in my cute flats. Well, I agreed to it. I wanted a sparkly black color but they didn’t have it! Ugh. So, I choose an alternative sparkly dark gray color. When they started applying the color, it looked brown. I said, is that brown? She said no, you picked this color. I said I picked grey, not brown. She said I picked it and I said I picked grey! Argument #2. Ugh! I re-​pick my color and its finally sparkly grey.
Bad Mood Maker #4
Pedi-​ist tells me that I have rough scaly legs and I should get a salt scrub. I told her, I like rough scaly legs, NO. She then insults me again and tells me I have rough callous feet and she can make me buttery soft. Okay, I agreed to that since I had to show my feet off in sparkly gold strappy shoes. But before she was done with my toes, she reminded me once more that my legs were shitty. Enough already lady!!! I already agreed to your upsell of callous feet! Which by the way, was not buttery smooth afterwards.

When all was done and done, the bill comes out… WTF! I ended up paying $ 43 for a stressful, up-​sale, poor leg massage, bad mood maker gel pedi! I thought I was going to come in and spend $ 23 but ended up paying $ 43 plus a tip. No no no no no. I gotta plan this better next time. No more walk in’s for me, especially at this establishment.

I came here without reading the reviews first but I’m actually glad I came. I don’t know who did my nails but she took her time and did a beautiful job. She didn’t talk much but she was sweet and made sure I was comfortable and was okay with the length and powders for my acrylic full set. However, a man who may have been an owner was making rude comments on my hair telling me it was dry and he could fix it. I only experienced one sell up then asking to do my eyebrows but I said no and she didn’t ask again. I’ve read a lot with them complaining about tip and the price. I paid $ 36 and gave her a $ 9 tip because she did a quality job. They didn’t complain but I’m not sure I’ll come back because of the reviews.
However I saw a women who only wanted a pedicure with no color and they told her 4 times to get color and she kept saying no. So not everyone gets good customer service as I got to see.

I never get manicures, but decided to get a gel french manicure done for my wedding day.
The first thing that you’ll notice is that it’s not the cleanest place. They handed me a menu of different nail colors, and it was really old and dirty. A lot of their equipment looks pretty old and beat up too.
My manicurist cleaned my cuticles, buffed and filed my nails. She seemed pretty experienced. And then she started putting the gel layers on, but I think she accidentally used the wrong coat for the base because she had to wash everything off and start over.
The french manicure seemed to turn out fine, but when she was done she started doing some hand scrub and treatment on my arms and hands. Having never gotten a manicure before, I thought this was a normal treatment. However, when she was done, I was charged $ 60…
Again, I’ve never gotten a manicure before, but $ 60 seems kind of steep. I’m assuming she added in the hand and arm treatments to the total, which I didn’t ask for.
Also, I read that gel is supposed to last a long time. My gel coats started getting dirty and chipping after a week. It’s not like I do a lot of manual labor or do anything that would abuse my nails, I just go about my day. It was pretty disappointing. I don’t plan on getting another manicure any time soon, but if i do I’m definitely not coming back here.

This place is terrible.
If they’re not too busy judging you, they’re trying to charge you extra as much as possible for everything.
They asked me to pay in the middle of my nails and made me sign with my left hand.
Apparently my tip was «too low» for her, and she felt the need to call me out (I always tip at least 15−20%), even though the job was horrible.
Just don’t come here; your friends could do a better job with their eyes closed and non-​dominant hand.
