Diamond Nail & Spa

I’ve been here twice: once for nails and once for waxing. You can pretty much refer to the other reviews regarding getting your nails done there. However, I really wanted to review my experience getting my upper lip waxed (and my sister getting her eyebrows waxed). I was initially really nervous getting waxed because 1) none of the reviews talk about waxing experiences and 2) i have VERY low pain tolerance. The person told us that the waxing room wasn’t available so we would have to get waxed on the chairs in the waiting area. She apologized multiple times which was really nice. However, this made me more nervous, because I didn’t want to accidentally scream in front of everyone getting their nails done. However, everything went fine! The lady (i forgot to ask for her name) made the waxing experience smooth and efficient. I actually felt that getting my lips waxed was less painful than getting my eyebrows waxed at another salon. It felt more numb than painful, and I think it had a lot to do with how the lady pulled the wax strips off so quickly. My sister did mention that her wax was a little too hot, but my wax was just the right temperature. The best part was the price! They were having a 30% off all waxing services sale. Our total was only $ 11 when it was supposed to be $ 18 (it’s actually more than 30% off then…). Some other salons charge $ 10 for upper lip waxing alone, so the price was AMAZING. Overall, I would definitely come back again :)

These ladies are wonderful. The service is the best i never had before. First time here but really like the way they do my nails. Can’t wait to get my nails done couple more weeks.

Wow I feel so relaxed right now!
A huge thank you to diamond nail salon for having the sweetest employees with the a passion for nails!
I’ve never had a pedicure that felt this amazing! Everyone has massage chairs but it’s hard to find a nice clean place that has employees who really take the time to rub your legs and feed and go through the whole relaxing procedure of the hot stones and wax! I’ve been to so many places that just throw your feet into water and then paint your toes but not here! My feet got the royal treatment today! Not only did she cut them and make them look perfect and clean but she took her time massaging them and doing all the things other palaces charge an arm and a leg for! My feet were killing me after a long week of work and I’m so glad a friend recommended this place to me! I can’t what to come back and I haven’t even left yet! I highly suggest this place to anyone who loves to feel good and who love their feet! My feet are so happy (;

I’m so glad that I trusted the reviews for this place! I got a gel mani for the very first time, and the woman that did my nails was sweet and thorough. The salon is in very good shape and I liked the open layout. I will definitely be coming back here when I’m in the area.

Cindy did my gel manicure and Cathy did my pedicure. Both did such an amazing job!!! The place is super clean and they maintain such a nice comfortable snd clutter-​free establishment hence how incredibly busy they are! I suggest making an appointment like I did so that you do not have to wait as a walk in. The prices are very reasonable and they do so much for each service that would cost so much more elsewhere (paraffin wax, hot stone foot massage, exfoliating scrub, and polish for $ 30!). Thanks Diamond Nails! :))

Love this place. I’m new to San Jose and went to Euro Wax center and it was recommended to me. Good prices, good service, and really friendly staff. Not a bad vibe here. I got in right at 10 on Saturday and had two technicians working on my toes and nails. Can’t beat the included hot stone and foot wax. Rene did my nails and phoebe did my toes. Nice ladies.

The service was fast. They took sat everyone who walked in. The workers are mostly young and polite. They have a lot of polishes to choose from. I asked for a mani and pedi. My manicure was perfect all the way around.
My pedicure was not so good.
The girl was just going through the motions. She didn’t give me a foot massage; it was just running her hands up and down my shins. She cut my toe nail too short on the side and I bled. She didn’t say anything and pretended like it never happened. Just plain lazy job. I had paint on my skin she didn’t bother to clean off.
This is how the gilrs get paid btw. half of what you pay goes to the store the other half is commission. Tips belong to the workers.

Love it! I had to get my nails done for prom, and I got the acrylic full set. The atmosphere was very relaxing, and the lady helping me was very fast and professional. I was done in 45 minutes, when I expected it to take an hour, so I was also pleasantly surprised.

The entire staff is so friendly and professional. I have had Lisa several times and she is just great. She takes her time and I never feel rushed. I started bringing my Mom in and she loves the way she is treated. The salon is very clean and they play nice and relaxing music.
Thanks so much for the great service!

I was in town for my grandpa’s birthday and coming from Colorado, it’s not quite sandal weather yet so I’ve been long overdue for a pedicure. The pedicure was wonderful and came with a paraffin wax treatment. The nail tech was understanding of my ticklish feet and made that part as enjoyable as possible. Overall, cheap and really nice! Definitely one of the best pedicures I’ve had in a while.

Wow! These ladies are superb! I originally came in to have my gel polish removed and ended up getting a pedicure as well. The pedicure (I kid you not) lasted around 45 minutes and for the first time EVER, I enjoyed the entire pedicure. It didn’t feel rushed, the price was fair and they didn’t speak another language in front of me, which can get extremely uncomfortable. I had the gel polish on my finger nails removed, buffed and painted clear, free of charge. This nail salon is clean and close to home. I think I’ve found my gem!

I’ve come here multiple times and have ALWAYS received great service from every employee. I tried out Emily’s down the street just because my friend wanted to see how it was. Let’s just say my experience there was nothing compared to Diamond’s. I got acrylic gel nails at Emily’s a week ago and ONE nail broke off, (simple shape, only black paint no design) I went there to get it fixed and they told me they have a lot of appointments coming in so they can’t fix it. As I was already turned away and walking out the door the woman muttered a «sorry».
Pretty annoyed, I went to Diamonds and they fixed my ONE nail right away in 3 – 4 minutes. I even told them I did not get my nails done here and the woman said no charge. I was so amazed by the kindness and friendliness of staff that I paid them plus a tip. Will not be straying away from Diamond anymore, they are the amazing.
Also, another time I came to Diamonds they were very busy and I said I would come back another day. They told me to come back tomorrow and offered me a discount because they didnt have time for me that day. How sweet is that? I didn’t even have an appointment either. Emily’s barely said sorry that they couldnt fix ONE nail and didnt offer anything. Just a genuine apology would have sufficed though but that just shows how above and beyond Diamond really goes for their customers.

This is my favorite place I have been to in the San Jose area. The ladies here are very kind and gentle and not pushy at all. The salon is nice and clean and they have a million awesome shades of DND gel polish, OPI, and Essie colors if you are into those. I am very happy with the fill they did on my gel set and live my nails!

These ladies are wonderful! I got the most relaxing pedicure & my nail technician was very attentive. Also, I had come in with a shotty gel manicure done from another nail place & one of my nails was already falling apart. Another manicurist fixed them up so quickly and they look like new again!
I even took a chance and decided to get an eyebrow wax (I usually go for threading) and they did a fantastic job! I’m soooo happy to have found this place! I’m telling all of my friends!

Been coming here since they opened about 3 years ago. They are always friendly, quick, and precise. The place is very clean and well kept and they have a ridiculous selection of OPI and Essie polishes. They always have the newest seasonal colors.
Only $ 30 for a spa pedi with hot stone and paraffin wax!

Hands down best with everything. Awesome Leg, foot and toe massage with hot stone, relaxed staff that are so friendly. I am so relaxed and happy with my nails and feet!
Bonus the music is worldly, relaxing and eclectic!

I’ve been needing to get my acrylics filled for a while, but I couldn’t really find the time. This shop was nearby so my friend and I stopped by real quick for some much needed work.
The place is very clean and open. The employees are welcoming and professional.
The woman who did my nails scratched me a few times and messed up, but it happens. She got me in a out really fast and did a pretty good job on my nails. If I’m ever in the area again I’d come back!

The lady who did my nails did an AMAZING job in 35 minutes flat. Full set + gel nails, 35 minutes and they’re exactly how I wanted them. 35 minutes includes the time she spent trying out different shades of nail polish on me to see what I liked the most. It’s my favorite place for a girl’s day with my mom!

I have mixed feelings about this place, and here’s why.
~The store~
Clean and spacious, nice decorations. The massage chairs were very comfortable and seem quite new.
~The experience~
I went there for a gel mani and regular pedi. I have to say that this was the most painful manicure I’ve ever gotten in my life.
About five minutes into the mani, when the girl was trimming my cuticles, she snipped off a little too much and my thumb started bleeding. She was very apologetic, but still, the damage was done. Then, during touch-​up (I found some bubbles in the polish after they dried), another girl cut me while filing the edge of the nail on my right ring finger. It didn’t hurt very much at first but after a few hours it’s starting to really hurt.
The staff were polite and pretty patient when I had to get my pedicure touched up as well — accidentally smudged it while waiting for it to dry. But honestly, the bad outweighed the good at this point, so I won’t be back. The girl friend I went with wasn’t injured so I guess I just had rotten luck.

I’m very happy with the way my nails turned out after a shellac manicure here!
The person who did my nails was very meticulous.
The reasons for only three stars:
1. It took a while for them to get the water my sister and I requested, and I happened to be REALLY thirsty.
2. My manicurist was not super gentle, and at times dug her nails into my skin. It was NOT pleasant at all. ESPECIALLY, since her nails were not clean :(. I asked her to be a little more soft on my nails, and she obliged though.
Overall I had a good experience. Would I return? Maybe. I think I would more likely opt for going to Lily’s Salon which is closer to my house, and which has excellent service.
