CT Nails & Spa

I saw this place on Facebook looked it up on Unilocal saw all the good reviews and was very excited to try it I was the second customer and I wanted a mani and pedi I got an older woman a little on the heavy side who did my nails and pedicure she dug into my toe I had to tell her stop because it hurt and she continued to dig and get nothing out but my toe bleeding and digging into my skin let alone getting nail polish on the top of my foot and on my toes did not clean off until the very end even after my manicure she did a horrible job on my toes thank God you can’t really tell my manicure was horrible her hands are very shaky she got the red nail polish over my fingers she got over my cuticles that looked a mess and when she did the second coat after the nails dried you can clearly see where the second coat was it wasn’t even covering my full nail which was highly disappointing there was even a smudge on my thumb after my nail dried all she did was take a little bit of nail polish remover just to get it wet and then just continue to put on clear coat she did not bother to redo the polish she was covered it up with a clear coat and made it all bubbly and they started coming off the same day I will never go back again and should have just stuck to the place I usually go to passion hair and nails on Washington in the Safeway Shopping Center

Don’t overlook this hidden gem!
Nina is great! She did an excellent job that surpassed the expectations of a perfectionist like me. I was also pleasantly surprised the by prices. I got an acrylic fill with gel color for $ 27! For perspective, most places in the area charge $ 30 – 35. It was a fantastic deal and a job well done. Needless to say, I will be coming here again.

Lady was really rude. Went in for a nail trim and she said no time. That’s fine I don’t mind waiting so I asked how long. She then rolled her eyes and said omg then mumble. Don’t disrespect your customers!

This nail salon needs nail artists who can see flaws and who can understand English a little better. My gel nails were painted too close to my cuticle and I was attempting to explain this, but nobody understood me. There were also air bumps and scratch spots on the nails and she just kept painting over them like it was going to fix the problem. I was there for 2hours and just gave up. Not my ideal place to go.

Very efficient, genuine and affordable. Nina and her staff has your best interest at heart and will be sure that you leave satisfied. CT Nails is a nail salon you can defiantly make your home! They offer every type of service you’ll need.

After going to my regular place for many years, the service there started to decline, so I tried CT Nails because they are close to my house. From the first time Nina did my nails, I have been completely satisfied and very happy with everything about their service. The shape of my nails is exactly how I like it, Nina is very accommodating to my requests (keeping the nails short, makings sure the sides are filled in, etc.), and the whole staff is really nice. On one occasion I tried a new gel polish, and by the next day it had all peeled off. Nina fixed it for free, no questions asked.
They could use an additional set of hands every now and then, but I know the walk-​in business is unpredictable. I’ve found my new go-​to nail place and would highly recommend Nina and her staff to anyone!

Jody did my nails and she did an amazing job. My nails are thin and very natural looking. She didn’t build them up too much at the cuticle, so they still have a natural curve.
She didn’t try to talk me into anything I didn’t want and she listened to what I asked for. I am so happy with the work she did. I will not be going anywhere else.
Jody, you are the best!

Moved here from Sacramento, so I was looking for a new nail salon and stumbled upon this place. It’s nothing fancy, but I was really happy with the service. Walked in on a Monday around noon and they sat me right away. One thing I’m really picky about is the massage. I hate when they rush through it, and seems like all the nail places I went to in the area give half-​ass massages. The lady really took her time and it felt great. Everyone was friendly so I’ll definitely come back.

Just had a nail party here last night for a friend’s wedding. we had a lovely time and my nails came out great! Nina let us bring in food and drinks and our kids lol wish we got our nails done with 10 friends every time. Very fun way to start the wedding weekend! Thanks CT nails! We had a great Wednesday nail night

This nail shop welcomes walk-​in. My friend recommended me to this shop, so I thought it was worth a try. The ladies are friendly. I showed them a picture of how I want my nails to be, even though the picture did not match the outcome. My nails were still pretty. The acrylic lasts about one month. The prices are just right! One downside is that, if there is no other customers around, they would take their time and make sure everything is great. However, once there are other customers they would rush you! I would come back.

Update:
Van is NO longer working at this salon which really bums me out! I decided to give Nina (the owner) a try. As soon as she started my nails I knew the results would be bad. I just needed a quick fill because I was attending a wedding the up coming weekend, She cut off my acrylics I already had on and and started a new full set, which I never requested! I was getting the pink and white french manicure, They came out soooo thin, and all my nails were crooked and very sharp on the square shape. These only lasted me 2 weeks (when Van did them they lasted a little over a month) and had to pull them off! I also decided to get a pedicure, which was not the best as usual! What a waste of $ 50.00 bucks! I really liked this salon, but miss Van. I will NOT be returning to this salon.

I came in today with my coworker and we wanted to get a quick and basic mani + pedi during our lunch hour. We arrived at 12:20pm but it was not very busy at all. My coworker walked up and told the lady that she wants a basic manicure and I want a pedicure, then the lady told me to pick a color and sit at the spa chair while my coworker sat on the other chair waiting. 10 mins went by, another lady walked up to me and started doing my pedicure, and they left my coworker waiting there without telling her how long is the wait or whatsoever. We thought someone will be doing her manicure shortly as we saw two lady walking back and forth speaking vietnamese but no, we were wrong. Nobody have said anything to my friend, not even one single, «sorry, someone will be with u shortly.» So later on my friend just sat on the spa chair next to mine telling me: «don’t even worry about it I’m not gonna get my nails done here! No one bother to acknowledge my existence here!».
We tried to escalate our concern to one of the lady who worked there (there were like 4 of them) but obviously she doesn’t understand English and she just said, oh sorry I don’t know. I understand the language barriers when it comes to nail salon but hey, it’s not difficult to say something like, sorry for the wait someone will do your nails soon right?
My pedicure was alright, $ 20 (nothing fancy just very basic cut, trim, scrub my feet and paint my toe nails) and she got her job done right I have nothing to complain about it but I’m disappointed with the fact that I picked this place to go with my coworker and she didn’t even get her manicure done! I’m a frequent visitor of nail salon in Fremont/​Milpitas area but I’m sad to say that I will pass this place and I’d rather pay more to go Yvonne’s nail or De Paris for better & more attentive service! Ladies, you do get what you pay for when it comes to nails/​grooming services so think twice before coming to here.

Had to find a place that was close. My daughter recommended I try this new place she was going to. I made an appointment without any problems. Nina is the owner and she is very accommodating. When I arrived, they took me right away and asked me to sit in the spa chair. I had Nina do my Pedicure and Van did my pink and white. All in all, it only took 1 hour. In other salons, it would take 2 hours because they always had me do pedi first, then my hands. I was very satisfied and have been coming to CT since.
As of last month, Van isn’t there. Nina is doing my pink and whites and she too does a good job. The only thing, is when Van did the work, all of the edges were smoothed out so that when it grew out, there was no lifting. AFter 1 week from Nina, I notice the sides and edges lift a little, but still looks good.
The salon is open, clean and relaxing. Their spa basins are covered with plastic for each customer. Very sanitary practice. Very friendly staff.

It’s alright. I asked for a mani/​pedi. It took me awhile on a Thursday afternoon to get seated. Everything is clean and the ladies are friendly, but a bit slow. After I was seated, I sat for a little too long soaking before the pedicure began. I ran out of time (I have an hour lunch) and asked to skip the mani because the pedicure was taking too long. I was a little disappointed, because most places will start the manicure when you’re getting the pedicure. Anyway, the pedicure was done well.

I love getting pedicures here. All the ladies are so sweet!

My wife was looking to treat a friend to a nice nail afternoon. So she made an appointment. They were RUDE RUDE RUDE
From beginning to end.
I could provide details — but it was the worst experience she has had in a long time.
Nothing good to say.

Love it! Reasonable prices! Walk ins welcome! And they get you in an out in a reasonable amount of time without rushing the quality! Got a pedicure for $ 20 and acrylic w/​design for $ 35 totally worth it!

I’ve given this salon my business a few times in hopes they would begin to live up to some of the reviews that have been posted about them. They have never failed to disappoint! I had a full set done and they were falling off within a week, which really pissed me off because I tipped them $ 5 for their time.
The second time I decided to have them buff my nails and a nice manicure since they were a bloody mess because the acrylics had come off. The machine hurt my finger tips so much, and the young woman payed no attention to my complaints. She kept checking her phone in the middle of the service, and gave me the worst quality manicure I’ve ever received.
I would never go back. I’ve started going to RoseHip nail spa and am more than pleased with their work and attention to detail. This place sucks.

Because every other nail salon in the area is closed on a Monday. You an count on CT Nails to be open and not busy.
Pros:
–Clean
–Open flow
–Clean restrooms
–Painless parking
–Right on Grimmer/​AutoMall
–OPEN Mondays
Cons:
–Not many Unilocal reviews (a bit worried) but I’ll take one of the team, and keep you ladies posted on how it goes w/​my pedicure.

I’ve been coming here for about 6 months and so far I’m still impressed and loving it. Nina normally does my pedicures and Van does my manicures. Today I got a full pink and white set done by Van and she did a great job! I’m glad I found this spot! Come in and try then out, you won’t be disappointed.
