V & V Nails

The lady who did my pedi had no attention to details. Overall the experience was okay. She tried her best and I understand. But there are uneven streaks on my nails. I know I can do a better job than she did. Urgh.
She left a gap with no nail polish from the skin edge on 1 of my finger. The nail polish near the skin edge is uneven. I can’t even explain how disappointed I am. I won’t come back again.

Stopped here to get acrylics. quite upset because the results turned out awkward. the whole process felt rushed. Just a mediocre nail salon. probably wouldn’t come back unless I had to.

Stopped here based on great Unilocal reviews. Really nice staff but my gel manicure only lasted three days! Gel started peeling off on two nails within two days and three more the day after. Not sure what went wrong. I’ve been getting gels for years. Two weeks is the shortest amount of time they’ve lasted. I’m out $ 30.

This is the place I go to if I need a quick nail fix and manicure if I’m not in the city.
Not the most fanciest place or very clean… but it does get the job done and its super cheap. I got a quick mani and nail fix for $ 12. They have three ladies that work there, the owner Vicky, is the best. She super talented and knows how to design. One thing I really don’t like is they use gloves while they clean up your nails and while filing, so it all over the gloves THEN with the SAME gloves they rub lotion all over your hands as a finish touch then paint your nails… it is kind of gross and dirty. Definitely wasn’t feeling that.
Overall, it gets the job done esp when desperate times call for desperate measures.

This local nail shop is efficient, friendly and clean. I walked in and within 30 minutes my gel manicure was finished! If pure looking for a one stop shop for a quick and super affordable mani pedi, this place is for you. You will not be disappointed.

It is not the fanciest salon in Millbrae, however these girls do an amazing job and that’s all that matters.
Never ever have I had a problem or disliked their work in the past 2 years.
Lately they have been getting booked up, so I suggest calling in advance.

First timer! I love how they get to business and how professional they are.
This will be my go to spot for now.

Came in for my first visit after a friends recommendation. Everyone was very nice and super accommodating. I will definitely be back

I came in on a Wednesday afternoon, and I was the only client. Space is typical of a cheaper nail salon — no frills. Couple of magazines, TV blaring. Nail color selection is slim pickings — if you have your own, definitely bring them. Two ladies worked on me, and their quality of work is about average. It’s been 2 days and so far so good, no chipping yet. Didn’t love my experience, but didn’t hate it. $ 30 for a standard mani/​pedi. Will probably go again since I didn’t have to wait, and it’s close to some good places to eat in downtown Millbrae.

Quick and efficient. Gel manicure and regular pedicure by very nice people in about 30 min. Plus it lasted almost 3 weeks now!!! Highly recommend and I will be back when I’m Millbrae.

My mani pedi seemed really great. Looked good, felt good. Until about 2 weeks later when I discovered ingrown toenails on each side of my big toes that I’d never had before. I mean I guess I got what I deserved because the whole thing was really cheap, but it’s still no excuse. It sucks too because I loved the nail polish job, but I don’t recommend it because of the toe problems I still have that keep recurring.

Unfortunately I don’t get to review the service here. Simply because they apparently only have one person who can do a fill!

I was originally going to get my nails done at four seasons across the street but I hadn’t made an appointment and they were completely booked for the day so I decided to try this place.
My mom and I both got French gel manicures. I also got a regular pedicure while my mom got a French pedicure.
Pros: Nice long leg massage.
Cons: My gel manicure chipped within 2 days and it had cost more than four seasons across the street.
If I wanted a gel manicure, I probably wouldn’t go here.

Okay love love love!
New nail shop for me!
They did a gel mani and pedi for $ 45
The ladies working here are so professional and sweet! Customer service is beyond any nail saloon I have been to lately.
At the end I didn’t like my toe polish color and asked to just have polish removed. The sweet lady removed it (gladly with no attitude) and then she asked what color would I like?
No frills mani pedi shop but customer service is great!!!
Lots of colors to choose from!

Polish application — 4stars
Cuticle removal — 3 stars
This goes for both hands and feet.
Wish I could say better but quite honestly just mediocre.

Not my favorite nail place, but I thought I’d give it a try.
I came as a walk in, but it was pretty empty on a weekday afternoon. I wanted to get a manicure and pedicure. First one of the ladies directed me to the footbath (imma just call it that because i have no idea what else to call it). The footbath I was directed to was already half filled with dirty water. So they proceed to «flush» the bath and fill it with new water. I was shocked that they didnt even wash that bath again before refilling. Pretty dirty! Considering the other places that I go to wrap their bath in new plastic bags each time. Anyways, I looked past that and enjoyed the pumps in the bath, pretty good foot massage and pedicure.
The manicure part came after while my toes were drying and that took even longer. I waited like 20 minutes until someone was free to do my nails. I wanted some glitter and I would say it was done a little on the messy side, but I wasn’t too picky because I just wanted to go home at that point. They said I was done after drying for 20 minutes and as i walked to my car, one of my nails got completely ruined.
Also, my pedicure didn’t even last 1 week. The big toe and some other toes already chipped within a few days.

This is my go-​to nail salon whenever I go to Millbrae and feel the need for pampering. It is a small establishment with no frills so don’t expect a freaking spa when you come in. I paid $ 30 pre-​tip for a mani/​pedi. They didn’t charge me extra for using different colors on my toes and fingers, which was nice since I know some places actually do that. The last time I was here, my mani lasted me for about a month. It didn’t chip off or anything and my friends all thought I got the gel polish
I was a walk-​in and waited for about 45 minutes before I had a turn. The two girls were working on 4 different people and were doing a mighty fine job. They don’t talk on the phone or to one another while they are working. They chat with the customers, but don’t overdo it. While you’re getting your pedicure, you get to sit in a massage chair that comes with a remote control. That’s a nice perk.
The entire salon isn’t very fancy, but certainly not as dingy or dirty as some unhappy reviewers made it out to be. They say that there was nail polish all over the place… girl, I was sitting there for over an hour looking around for stray polish and only saw some on the trash can. Also, I was talking with some very loyal customers (upwards of 6 years) about how they looove coming here and how their gel lasts forever. I was looking at their fingers pre-​manicure and thought they already got it done and were just waiting for their pedicure. They said nope and that these gel manis last close to a month. Everyone has very different lives so I don’t know why some people’s polish last longer than others. I work with my hands every day and am pretty clumsy so when my polish stays longer than a couple of days, I’ll happily return to the salon that did my long-​lasting mani.
You’ll have to deal with finding free street parking. There is no private lot for V & V Nails.

I like this place! I looked up the reviews before coming here, there were others in the area but wanted to give them a shot! very sweet gals, never felt like they were rushing. They were super accommodating.
Massages were the best part! The pedicure was delicious. Thank you V & V for re exceptional service! I will be back!

I was a bit skeptical getting my nails did because upon reading the bad reviews, I was worried my stepdaughter and I were going to get mediocre pedicures.
Well, as soon as our feet were dipped in nice, hot bubbly water, I started to relax a bit. The ladies who did our pedicures were very detailed and I have to say, the leg massage I received was delish. It wasn’t rushed at all. She actually spent a lot of time on each leg. Not only did she put lotion, she mixed it with oil and it was just so sensual!
When they painted our toes, they took care to paint every little detail.
I really appreciated their mannerisms; they were friendly, smiled, but didn’t converse in another language that made me feel they could be talking about me.
I’m so happy I’ve found this little gem in our neighborhood. I will definitely be a regular patron… since I can’t bend over with this baby bump to do my own toes!

I had a couple hours to kill so what better than a pedi mani?
Perfect!
After a few Unilocal searches, I found myself parked outside of V&V Nails, walked in, and met Vivien who was the only person working. It was empty.
Should I be worried?
Well, I was… But all that changed!
I had one of the best pedicures ever! The most amazing part was when she massaged my legs. It was a long massage and she focused on making my calfs feel like mush. I was in heaven!
One week later and my toes are still chip-​free and looking good =)
All that + color change for my hands for $ 26.
This is definitely my go-​to salon up North!
