I was visiting the area and was in need of a pedicure. I showed up without an appointment and the door was locked so I thought they were closed, but she was there working on another client, so she locked the door for safety, apparently. Van was such a sweet woman and made my feet "as smooth as a baby's bottom" as she said. She was very friendly and talkative, unlike a lot of places. My feet felt great and my nails were so pretty. Thanks, Van!

Van is the best! If I am in the area she is my go to for pedi's. I don't get gel mani's anymore, but when I did and when Van did them, they lasted foreverrrrr! She's the sweetest and love chatting with her. It's a one woman shop so you get the best service!

Had an amazing experience with Van for my mani-pedi. She's incredibly patient, helping me try a ton of colors until we found the perfect pink with sparkles (thanks to last night’s Barbie movie!). Her attention to detail in application was top-notch. Couldn't be happier with my new nails. I've found my new favorite place! Highly recommend Van's fantastic service.

The owner Van is sooooo sweet and accommodating. From my first visit and encountering her other clients, she’s so timely. I am surprised. I had set an appointment but from past experiences… I’d always end up being taken in far later from my appointment so I came early but was seen on time! Surprise surprise! And I hadn’t initially setup the appt for a manicure but she decided to include when a client had to cancel last minute.. during her starting my manicure that client ended up being able to come in anyway and Van came up with a time on the spot and she finished with me minutes before then! I’m amazed because I have never seen nail appointments ever being on time… and I saw it twice on my first visit.She is also so clean and meticulous. I had no idea how much dry skin I’ve incurred. She kept cleaning even during and after painting my nails. I don’t recall my nails ever being cleaned so thoroughly lol. If we piled my dry skin altogether I’d be embarrassed.I also adore her sweet personality. I can see why her clients come back even after moving a state away.. and why they bring their family and friends. I can’t wait to come back and how lucky am I to live closeby to do so. Cheers to prettier and happier toes and nails

I showed up to get a mani pedi because of the good reviews and the shop is supposed to be open. There’s a note on the door that says she’ll be back with a phone number. Unprofessional.

My normal spot in Union City charges around 20-25 for a face wax. It was $50 here. The owner charges $25 per side of face. It seems a bit high to me but she took me in on short notice and was alone in her shop tending to another customer and one on the way. I'm not mad just a bit unprepared to spend $50. That's all. I probably wouldn't go back due to the rates.

Me and the hubby went for pedicures. Van did a really good job getting all the rough skin off my heals, I wear sandals alot and so my heals get crusty She is really nice the chairs are a little dated and there are no frills like hot stones and all that, its a small area just 2 chairs in a hair salon, so depending on if you want the fancier pedicures just be aware. She takes her time and really does a good job, my feet stayed soft for a long time.

Van is amazing! She takes her time to make sure you get a top notch service. I asked for a nail art and she did exactly what I wanted. On top of the great mani & pedi, she was super nice and courteous. I will definitely come back! P.S.: She took all the safety precautions, which it's a very valuable thing during this odd times with COVID.

Van is amazing - she is very patient, doesn't rush through the job (pedicure takes almost an hour and manicure another 45 minutes). She also gives you a nice foot massage. Plus her place is very clean- she takes only 1 customer at a time ( much appreciated in these Covid times).

I had a nail appointment yesterday with Van and she did an amazing job with my gel mani and regular pedi! I needed my nails done in a pinch since I was traveling out of town for my wedding reception and Van was able to fit me in. Since it's still Covid times, an appointment is necessary for any service. The salon itself was clean but this was definitely a no frills zone. There are no TVs or bubbling creek/spa ambience. The decor and massage chairs are a bit outdated and faded but the services are top notch. Because Van currently only takes appointments and is the only nail tech in the salon, she does the pedi first then the mani. She took her time with my mani/pedi, I think also because I was the last appointment of the day. I showed her a pic of what design I wanted and she delivered. Price is pretty good for the Bay Area too: $30 for gel mani and $30 for regular pedi, not including tip. Covid restrictions are still in place (ie: masks and plastic dividers between client and tech). But it didn't affect the services. I'd definitely go to Van again when I need my nails done. She is a sweetheart!

Super happy with the service and COVID measures in place. Van will take her time and do things right - even recommended good everyday care
