Ivy Nails & Spa

I’ve been going to Ivy Nails for the last 5 years. Great service and such nice people! Nancy and Kathy are great! I get the Ivy Special Pedicure and a Nail Fill about every 3 weeks. Periodically I’ll have my eyebrows and lip waxed.
The Salon is clean and comfy, unlike some other salons I have previously visited.
Once in a while Anthony will walk through from next door, and he has always greeted me with a big smile and a «hello».
Since retirement, I go in on Monday or Tuesday mornings. Not crowded, and we have our own little private party!

Very nice experience today. First– time customer, went in for simple eyebrow waxing. Walked in, was greeted immediately and with courtesy. They took me right away. KEY POINTS: clean, friendly, gentle, efficient, the lady who helped me listened and understood what I wanted plus used Aloe Vera gel afterward. No itching or inflammation hours later PLUS nice tidy eyebrows = all good. Wish I’d had more time to spend today for manicure/​pedicure because it was such a nice relaxing visit. Will return when I’m in the neighborhood again. Keep up the great work ladies!

This place is price. I was charge $ 50 for regular pedicure and gel manicure. Initially, i wanted regular mani but the staff was very pushy and insistance on the gel manicure. It made me feel very uncomfortable, so i gave in. I will not be coming back.

The whole time they were talking in another language and mentioned one word in English that I’d say while talking with my friend. It was rude and made me uncomfortable.
My manicure was messy and the pedicure was sloppy. It was too expensive and not worth the one visit. I will not return to this place.

One of the worst places I’ve been to. Their customer service was very insulting. Their rude behavior has drove me away indefinitely. Not only that, but their nail polish must have been old, because the day after my last appointment, the nail polish started chipping. To top it off they wanted to charge me extra for using a special nail polish and $ 5 just to take my nail polish off, they never even told me they would charge me that. When I argued with them they said, «okay its okay go ahead no charge for you today». .wtf
I still cant get over this experience!!!

Went to ispa 2 and they sent me here because they were so busy. Manicure was rushed and polish just turned out messy. Nails are already ruined before leaving store would not come back here. Thank god I did not pay for this service

Nancy, Kathy, and Samantha do a great job with the manicure and pedicure. They are funny and nice. Very thorough and kind!

DOOOOO NOT GO HERE!!! Omg if I could give this place no star I would. They are THE WORST MOTHER FUCKING PEOPLE ALIVE!!’ Fuck them! No joke. They literally ruined my nails they didn’t cut them, they had hairs and bubbles stuck in them. Every time I bitched about something about my nails while she was working on them she kept telling they are pretty n to stop talking n put them in UV bs. I’m done. Fuck this place.

So overpriced for just an okay job and the workers usually rushed on getting it done rather than taking time on a customer. I suggest going to the nails salons in the east side of San Jose nail, they are less expensive and their quality are so much better.

Got my nails done today, can’t remember the lady’s name. But was very disappointed with my nails. She was rude and did a sloppy job. I’m a regular at Dash nails and decided to go to ivy with a friend. Overall, not a friendly atmosphere. Wouldn’t recommend this place whatsoever.

My first time to Ivy Nails & Spa. I was pleasantly surprised to be welcomed with smiles and friendly faces. I just walked in, no appointment. The ladies were so nice. I got the Ivy special pedicure and manicure, both come with paraffin wax. I have to say I’ve never had a pedi with rose petals in the foot bath. Overall great experience, I’ll be back :)

I got a French tip jell manicure and was really happy with it. It lasted more than 2 weeks! However, The inside of the salon is a little dirty and decorated with jerseys on the wall in bags which is not appealing. I also had to wait 20 minutes before they started helping me and they didn’t look busy. I give them an okay.

Never again.
Attached to Anthony’s for Hair, I was hoping a mani-​pedi would make me feel better after the lack of a hair style. I was wrong.
The woman doing my manicure never asked me what kind of service I wanted or how I wanted my nails filed. She was rough and in a hurry to get back to her cell phone.
The woman doing my pedicure kept digging into my skin with the files.
I gave them the benefit of a second chance but Anthony has the last dollar from me he will ever get.

I’m updating this to 1 star because of a crappy shellac mani that I recently got. The price is cheaper than the place I normally go to, which is a plus, but my mani started chipping after 2 days! It almost seems like they thin it out to make the gel last longer, because after only a few days all my nails were cracked and chipped. The should last a LOT longer than a few days.
I won’t be visiting again, even if it is cheaper. I would rather spend a little more to make sure that my mani will last.

I’ve never got my nails done here but for eyebrow waxing it’s my favorite place. Ask for Tina. She will do your eyebrows exactly how you want and take time to perfect then rather than rushing through them. Clean facility with comfy waiting couches.

Great customer service… But that’s all I got

I went today for the first time and was taken care of by Samantha. I had a mani and pedi and am quite happy with the results. Samantha was very friendly, careful and did a nice job. They use tub liners and sterilized instruments which is a big plus. It’s a bit more expensive then the salons I’ve gone to in the past, but I’ll be going here from now on. The extra cost is worth the good and friendly service and the cleanliness.

I am updating my review of this salon to 4 stars after having an awesome experience with Tiffany. The salon is clean, and although I still agree that the cooking shows on the TVs are a bit loud, I love the overall vibe of the salon. All the staff is always smiling, offering drinks, and talking with everyone.
The prices aren’t expensive & after having Tiffany do my nails, I was honestly impressed with her attention to detail and workmanship. It was only a manicure and a toe polish change but I was inclined to change my Unilocal review– that’s how GOOD just those two things were. The salon just acquired a new regular customer :-)
I suggest if you go here, use one of the names mentioned in these reviews… like TIFFANY!

NEVER AGAIN!!! I am so outraged right now, I can not believe I gave this place a second try. The last time I went here I ended up with a brown infection on my nails under my acrylics, my acrylics that popped off after 5 days!
Like a fool, I give them, another try… just a mani, how can you mess that up, right. They charged me an extra $ 5.00 for Crackle polish and tried to call it a wrap. They also tried to sneak gel polish on to the woman sitting next to me. I hate it when nail salons put things on your permission and charge you extra. It is disgusting.
This place is dirty, dishonest and does a crappy job. One star is too good of a rating for them.
DO NOT GO HERE!

Please see the review I also posted about Anthony’s hair (these two shops are linked together).
I’ve only been here about 4 times or so. Each time I only went because my work schedule let’s me off late in the evening and this is the closest place to work.
It seems as though only two ladies that work there. The older lady always does my pedicure– nice, chatty and usually does a pretty good job. The younger lady with highlights always does my manicure and always seems to rush and is almost mad at someone/​something.
During my third visit the younger chick didn’t even clean my cuticles! I had to ask her before she started polishing! My last visit was 2 weeks ago, an hour and a half before they closed. The older lady told me they were very busy and to come back another day.
Done with this place. I found a new place, involves me jumping on the freeway but worth it. Jasmine Nails and Spa off Branham and Almaden near Branham Lounge. Jasmine N&S is cleaner, more attendants, better quality for your dollar and they give AMAZING massages!
