Cherry Glen Nail Salon

It was my first time at this nails salon. I went on a Monday at 6:30 p.m. There was enough parking. I was seated right away. I showed her a picture of what I wanted, she had the right idea but the nails were longer than in the picture. Not a huge deal this time I just changed up my nail color choice a bit. The place was very clean and she didn’t do the small talk– which is what I prefer :) Sabrina worked on my nails.

I was nervous to try this place because of the 3 star review, but I had an appointment next door so I gave it a shot. Really glad I did! My lady was super sweet and did a great job. I got the spa pedicure; wax and hot stone massage (which was nice and long!!! I haven’t found a place in the area that gives more than a super quick massage, so I was stoked!) And only $ 33, not too bad compared to others I’ve tried in the area plus better quality. Will definitely be coming back here for pedicures.

I’ve come here for years — this was my first mani-​pedi experience and I cannot find any other place that I trust or have enjoyed my experience as much as here. Their prices are reasonable, they do a great job, they are clean, comfortable, and no toxic smell. This is the perfect place to relax :)

First time here.
This place is closer than the one I usually go to.
I brought my own color by O.P.I.
I was welcomed in. The host asked me what I was looking for and showed me on the «nail menu» where the pedicures were listed.
I chose a spa pedicure for $ 30 regular.
It includes hot paraffin wax which was warm and relaxing.
Typical nail cleaning. I was happy the water was hot.
The massage on my legs and feet with a hot stone was peaceful.
I was offered tea and I got a vanilla chai.
What a relaxing experience! They even used a Madagascar vanilla lotion that smelled amazing. I will go back again.
My nail expert was Tami and I highly suggest her.
I bet the others are good too.
I would love to get a design some time too.
It looks like the new location also has improved their skills from the old location. Good sign. :)

I love the Staff, super friendly!!! Love the Vietnamese coffee! I could drink a whole pot! Hahaha the prices are reasonable and affordable. I have no complaints! The ladies to amazing art work! I’ll be back in a few weeks for another pedicure

I have been going here for several years and love the service I get from Vickie, Vanna !
They recently remodeled and it’s even more comfortable and beautiful than before. Having been a long time customer, they know me, what I like and have always been very accommodating whether I call ahead and make an appointment, or call for a last minute appointment or walk-​in if I need.
They are wonderfully friendly, you can relax and read or watch the television, and are in a great and easy location.

I had wonderful experiences always with everyone here Kim, Vanna, Sabrina, Nhi,…they take very good care of my nails & always very professional. They do excellent trending color & design & I always get compliments from my friends of my pretty nails. Great job everyone!

Yes, there are a few negative reviews of this place, but in my opinion, every time I’ve been here I’ve had nothing less than the best experience! The employees are always friendly, experienced, and fast (very important to me), there’s a wide variety of polishes and colors to choose from, and my nails always come out looking great. One thing that’s really nice is how the store is clean and modern compared to most nail salons but is still pretty decent in terms of pricing. If there’s ever an issue, just talk to the owner, Vanna, and she’ll solve it for you.

Wonderful ladies. Nice and clean place. I’m loving my holiday nails. My husband and I had a pleasant experience here.

They’ve moved and the new location (two doors down) doesn’t begin to come close to their old one. They used to have very sanitary sinks in which to soak your feet. No longer, they have recirculating tubs that they have to line with plastic to keep them sort of ok. Even with this they want to recirculate.
The old location was neat and sparse. This one is ornate, even with «crystal» chandeliers. Who on earth is going to clean those?!?
In the old location, the client could control the heat of the water. No longer — it’s well out of reach. In theold location they made a point of opening the sterilized tool in front of the client — no longer! And they used to have a lot of space for your gear while getting a pedicure — that’s gone too.
What else seems to be gone is most of the staff, with new inexperienced folks. And of course prices have gone up.
Fortunately, Unilocal offers a large number of great salons in Sunnyvale, which I’ll be checking out.

There are lots of negative reviews and some good reviews on this place.
Each review is his/​her own experiences. Difference person, difference experience.
Each ladies whom work at Cherry Glen Nail Salon has each her own unique way to do Pedicure/​Manicure. You will need to try a few ladies to know which one matching your way of doing your nail the way you like it.
So when you read the review please read both and weighting your thought.
There are many Nail salon out there that has 4 or 4+ stars rating but not necessary you will get the good service there.
Best way to know is, try it out and see for yourself.
For me, I have found Cherry Glenn Nail Salon 10 years ago (after I had a bad experience from another place that I use to go) receive a best experience here and never choose another place ever since. Once I found the place I like, I stick to it.
I have my usual person that I request to do my nails every times, I am happy with her. Sometime when she is busy I have been assigned a substitutes, so far they can get my nail done with good quality.
It might take longer time to do nail here but be patience. If you are in a hurry, this place might not be for you.
If you do both pedicure and manicure (with Gel) like me, it can takes up to 3 hours +/​-​ (till dry). Best to make appointment ahead.
Walk in also welcome here but keep it mind you might need to wait a bit to get service.
Normally I was not in a hurry when I go here, I usually have my eBook to read (it is one of my available time to catch up my eBooks: D), a glass of wine or soda from her while waiting. It’s all good: D
If I have limited time and my usual lady is not available, I will pick a difference day.
If I am really need to do my nail on that day and my usual lady is busy or on a day off, I will request another lady whom equally good service to me.
Highly Recommended.

Stay away. Please please please, listen to the reviewers. I had the *worst* experience of my entire life. The lady who did my nails was AWFUL. After 5 different nail colour attempts… each time they were either out, the colour was no good or she tried to put it on and couldn’t get it on correctly. Finally after 1.5 hours and nothing but sore fingers, I asked them to just take it off and let me go. When she put my fingers in some solution and I felt the burn, I looked down and noticed all my fingers were bleeding. I could do nothing but get up and leave in anger and tears. My fingers are now half blue, bleeding and raw and I can’t go anywhere else until they heal. I’ve never been so angry and livid in my entire life.

Never coming back!!!
Came for gel mani and pedi. My long nails ended up super short, had 5 fingers bleeding (the lady was smiling when she saw my nails bleeding!!!), was charged for spa pedi, though the spa didn’t work, and the color wasn’t painted blotchy. When I asked for the uneven color to be fixed, they asked me to wait for ½hr or come back the next day.

An average nail salon if you are looking for something inexpensive. I had an appointment next door and instead of waiting decided to get a pedicure. The staff is nice but not very professional. My pedicure had a good quality but one could definitely tell where the second coat began and ended.

Need a mani/​pedi? In a rush? Don’t want to get pampered? Well this is the spot for you!
I used to come to this salon since it opened. Back then Vana seemed to care about her customers and would treat her regulars with a lot of respect. Over the years, as she got busier, it has become a… how quickly can I get you in & out of here?
This place is lacking in the nail shaping department. Most of these ladies only know how to file one way. If you ask for a certain shape, oval or coffin, they give you a typical straight shape with round edges. Note: if you don’t want your nails super short, ask the ladies to file the nail and not cut it with a clipper… or else you’ll end up with the short nails you never asked for.
The massages are horrible. The ladies have no energy in putting some oomph into the massage. They rub the lotion on you only to wipe away the lotion … no massage. And most of the time they forget the hot stone massage part of the massage.
Color selection. They don’t have a huge selection. They carry OPI along with several no name brand polishes. Most of the OPI polishes are no longer the shade or texture they orignally were… The ladies here dilute the polish all the time. Come on Vana, can you go purchase some newer polish?
and lastly, nail designs. Very few of the ladies here know how to paint a decent design on your nail. Most of them know the basic design like I do, 4 – 5 dotted flower. Beware.
The only plus side here is they give you paraffin without any extra charge for a pedicure.

I’m remiss to write this review, as the folks at this salon were very nice. Unfortunately one of the women who worked on my pedi scraped my big toes too deeply. As a result both my big toe nails ended up injured, and half of each fell off. It’s taken 5 months for them to grow out to a normal state.
I won’t be returning, and wouldn’t recommend them. But I hope the management is able to work on their practices, bc it really is a nice spot with a friendly crew.

I’ve been here twice, once when they first opened and once last week. $ 25 for a pedi.
Twice they cut my toe and it bled. Burning pain when they pour alcohol on my toes. She ignored the blood and put lotion on it. I cried out and told her it hurt but she just smiled and continued.
I will never go back.

I’ve been going to Cherry Glen for many years. It’s really convenient. Easy to find and has ample parking. The studio is bright, beautiful and very clean. There are lots of nail colors to choose from and they are always adding new nail colors that are on trend. My favorite services are thier spa pedicures with a hot stone massage and gel acrylic nails. I’m in and out quickly (which I love!).
Tip: Grab a coffee at the Starbucks across the street with a friend then head over for a mani pedi. Great way to catch up with a friend while pampering yourself.

After 114 ladies reviews of Cherry Glen nail salon, it’s time for a man’s review! What the H— you say, men don’t do reviews of nail salons!
It’s a rainy cold day after Thanksgiving, but I’m dressed in shorts and sandals. I’m getting ready to go to Hawaii, and need to get a pedicure, least I scare everyone away from looking at my open toe sandals!
We get in after the 10am opening time on a Saturday, and the place is virtually empty. The place has the toxic smell of paint fumes –remember those warnings on paint cans to use only with adequate ventilation. Well this place definitely could use a fan or two, as the clients could get high sitting around here for an hour. But delirious clients, are more inclined to open up their wallets, I mean purses!
There are 9 massage chairs with metal foot baths against the wall. The employees are busy cleaning the foot baths after each use –a good sign, as one would not want to get some viral infection.
The lady in charge assigns to me the youngest lady, named Ly, to work on my feet. I get on the chair, take off my sandals, and dip my feet right into the warm blue water. Besides getting dirt off, this loosens up the skin, and makes the it more pliable for trimming and cutting.
The attendant asks my wife to choose her nail color for her pedicure, but doesn’t ask me — LOL, men who color their toe nails are unheard of in our culture!
On the wall are two flat screen tvs showing the food channel. What, where is my Saturday morning college football?!
The Vietnamese lady trims my nails, and cleans out my cuticles, the area around the nails. However she doesn’t cut the cuticles, but pulls them, and causes one of my big toes to bleed. around the edges.
Eventually she gets around to fitting my feet around two plastic bags, each full of warm parrafin wax. I wear a men’s size 8 feet, and have no problem fitting my feet in the bag. However, some guys have size 14 feet, and would need jumbo sized bags.
The lady brings a digital clock which says 5:00. What, another shakedown for five more dollars? No, it’s a digital timer, to keep track of the five minute foot massage. She does a good job kneading my feet –going to have to teach my wife to do this for me!
The last step is a massage with a stone, which is kind of like sandpaper, to remove the loose dry excess skin on the soles of my feet. Only problem is that when she does the arch area in the middle, I burst out in giggles, it’s that ticklish!
At the end of the half hour session, the lady has difficulty getting my $ 100 womens Chaco sandals on my feet. Not too many ladies with Chaco sports sandals in these areas!
As I leave the chair, the lady cleans the metal foot basin thoroughly with water and soap –probably extra strength bleach in my case, of the first pedicure in 62 years!
My wife has both a manicure and pedicure, sitting next to me –making sure there is no hanky panky between me and the attractive attendant!
She has aluminium foil covering her fingers, and gets her toe nails painted. Eventually she has to walk from the stool with toe dividers, to the front stools for the manicures, a slow and unsteady waddle. I guess they wanted to make sure my wife didn’t make a run for it without paying!
Meanwhile I’m sitting in the waiting area, eating out of the candy dish. I drop a candy on the floor and picked it up, looked around, and then popped it in my mouth –the floor is literally clean enough to eat off of!.
I pay $ 80 with a credit card for two pedicures, a manicure, toe nail paint removal and repaint. I add a $ 15 tip, which they only accept in cash. Well, if I had known if was only another $ 5, I could have had my toe nails painted, although probably a more discrete color than my wife’s bright red!

I just have to add that it looks like they’ve started doing eyelash extensions here too. I’ve yet to try it but their pricing for it is the bomb dot com. 100 $ for a new set at 50 $ for a refill.
I still enjoy their manicures and it looks like they’ve lowered their pricing a little bit. They have tons of ‘shellac’ ‘gel’ colors now and have opi, daisy, and a few other brands for those as well.
