Hibiscus Studio

The only place I trust with my Shellac or Acrylic nails.
Hair services by Elizabeth is the most enjoyable experience.
Highly recommend this place.

Started coming here 3 – 4 years ago, and I can’t go anywhere else for my haircuts! I love Liz and how friendly and enthusiastic she is. She does a great job at engaging customers and genuinely caring about our lives — every time I go back, we get to pick up where we left off from the time before in conversation. Good personality is not all: she is so talented!
My first haircut with her was an A-​line, and afterwards, I’ve been getting an asymmetrical bob. Since I have thin hair, most hairdressers zoom through it in half an hour. Liz does an exceptional job at cutting my hair exactly how I asked it to be, and making sure it’s careful and clean. I spend an hour or so usually here, but I have never left with any regrets.

I came here on a Thursday morning. They weren’t packed, but a decent amount of people were coming in and out.
My friend got her hair colored and trimmed and it came out really nice. Everyone was very patient with her as she decided her color, and they did a good job.
While I was waiting for her, I asked about their acrylics, bc I was thinking about getting my nails done. Their manicurist was booked the whole day however she got a cancellation and they were able to squeeze me in.
I believe the manicurist’s name was Vivi. We didn’t talk much but she was nice. This was my first time ever getting acrylics done and I was really impressed. I feel like my nails came out looking pretty but still natural. I got acrylics done with gel nail polish (extra 10) so the total came out to 35 bucks.
Their service was good and the place is really close to campus, So I definitely think I’ll be coming back!

Avoid! Got gel done by a lady who has never done gel and was charged full price to be her guinea pig which is not her fault but the owners and everyone else that knew what they were doing in there. I was charged $ 7 to put a little bit of glitter on my nails that took her under a minute. Will not be going back.

So I moved to San Jose an year back and have tried countless salons since then. My feet is not easy to work on and definitely not pretty. So one day I saw this salon (it’s 0.08 miles from my apartments) and thought to give it a try and THANK GOD I did. They transformed my ugly ducklings of hands and feet into something so pretty, I’m obsessed. Vivi is awesome. She knows what she’s doing and she’d listen to what you want. And the other lady who gave me a pedicure, I think her name was Cindy, she was so patient with my man feet. Really. Bless them! I’m super happy. Thanks guys!

Finally had the time to try out this place which was recommended by a friend. Booked a shellac
Manicure appointment with Vivi because that’s what everyone was raving about on Unilocal and I was not disappointed at all. She was really nice and gentle. I came in with 8 nails long enough for shellac but 2 that were too short so I got acrylic on those two. Vivi did a good job making them all look the same and made sure I was happy. I will definitely be coming back here since it’s not too far from me rather than going all the way to Color Nails (where their services aren’t always consistent).

What a great spot! Their prices can’t be beat, and they are true nail artisans. My manicurist was Cathy, and she was totally able to achieve a perfect flawless job on a crazy Pinterest inspired nail job

Vivi is awesome so sweet and great at what she does! Quality! They are so friendly and welcoming, my first time there they were all so awesome! Elizabeth is so down to earth and such a sweet personality! I had to take my kids twice on separate occasions and she was helping me wit my daughter while I finished up since she got fussy! I love coming here and will continue being a loyal client! And my daughter is a soon to b client as well! Would

If you are looking for a great place to get a haircut. Look no further!!! Elizabeth has a great personality, very bubbly, and very easy to talk too. I’ve been to numerous barbers to high-​end salons but after I met Elizabeth, I think I found my spot. Elizabeth listens to what I want to and always delivers. If you are looking for a great atmosphere to unwind and get a great haircut, this is the place.

Quite a friendly and professional salon. I’ve gotten my nails done at a few places around San Jose now and this is one of the better ones for sure. Lucy was really kind to me and did a great job with my pedicure! One thing that I am always paranoid about with new salons is getting an infection from unclean equipment (this has happened to me before and it wasn’t fun), but this place is very clean and well maintained so I wasn’t too worried. I will be returning here with my girlfriends when the time calls for it, very happy with the results!

This is my new favorite place! I had my pedi and nail fill with Lucy. She was very friendly and lovely to talk too. Lucy did an amazing job on my nails. I’m super happy I found this local nail shop near my home.
I will definitely recommend this place and look foward to coming back. If I could make a recommendation it would be to make an appointment ahead of time.

Called last min and made a same day appt.
And they were able to get me in, very clean place super friendly, Lucy did an awesome job I will be back again…

The employees are all very friendly and attentive. The facility, though small, is very clean and neatly kept. I was offered drinks and donuts as I waited, but I’m not sure if that’s what they normally have to offer. They have a very interesting and wide range of nail polishes, which is great because I like nails that stand out. I am very pleased with my pedicure and plan to come back here for all of my appointments in the future!

Loved it there, took my grandmother with me for an early Mother’s Day gift and the ladies did a great job. They’re super friendly and the place is clean. My nails looked great! I’ll be coming back in two weeks!

Today was my 2^nd visit to Hibiscus Studio and I have been more than pleased with the service both times. First off, when you come in all of the technicians greet you with a smile which makes you feel welcomed right before you sit down for an hour to get your nails done… there’s nothing I hate more than feeling like I can’t talk while in the seat. They are current with the trends in beauty and nails and have pretty much everything you could think of from a wide variety of color, shellac, designs, rhinestones and studs. I had the pleasure of having Lucy work on my nails both times and she’s super talented, efficient and everything is CLEAN! My nails ROCK (literally) thanks to Lucy at Hibiscus!

Elizabeth did my nails and I felt a little cheated. I got the gel nails and she left too large of a gap between the polish color and my nail bed. so after a week they already look grown out. I think she did this so i would have to return sooner.:(also my nail beds were in so much pain and so sensitive after she hacked away and prodded at them. also on my right thumb and index finger she neglected to spread the polish to the edges so they look worn and ragged. I regret giving a 20% tip. i barely got a hand massage either. wont be a returning customer.

I love this salon been coming since it opened. ViVi is the ish! She always has my nails poppin!!! Lucy does an amazing job as well. Liz has my hair on fleek! All of the ladies are very friendly and are very talented at what they do.

Liz was recommended to me by a good friend. Apparently she’s what I’ve been searching for. Someone who will actually cut my hair short. Someone not afraid.
I’ve been to places where I’m clearly asking for too much. Of what? To have a short hair cut!
Liz owns the salon. She validates parking around the corner across from Starbucks. It’s a big garage but seem full in the middle of the day when I went. Anyways I really appreciate parking synonymous to any business. Very thoughtful. Thanks Liz!
Liz is very quick to understand what you need. It’s pretty obvious that I’m longing to have a much shorter haircut than what I started. It’s like crack. Now that I’m used to my short hair I want it shorter and shorter. At Liz’s hands I got what I wanted. I can report I’m done with short hair. I’m so over it.
Thanks Liz for granting my short hair obsession. You met my weird desire to experience really short hair. Now that I have, I’m totally happy and satisfied.
Fast forward to 2015. I’d probably be growing my hair back.

I came here on a Wednesday afternoon and it was fairly easy to find parking. I parked on the 4^th St garage near Flames & MLK and was able to get my parking validated for two hours.
As I walk in I’m warmly greeted by Liz, I get seated right away with Lucy and get my shellac taken off as I discuss my design options with her. Lucy is super friendly and open minded and willing to try anything even if I have a billion of design ideas. I go a little crazy with my nails, and love that they have a lot of options for décor to add to your nails, whether it be little bows to fruits or geometric designs.
Even though it took me forever to finally come with a final conclusion, Lucy was super patient with me and tried to help guide me with her expertise. She’s pretty detailed oriented so I felt like I was in safe hands when I watched her do my nail design. The removal and shellac, and 10 nail design was approximately 2 and a half hours, and the price of the nail design is mostly based on the difficulty level. I loved the way my nails turned out. Super chic, and the gems are on pretty securely.
We tried out the tape just to see if it’d stick but Lucy’s intuition was right, it comes off): so I’m gonna go in for a fixer upper and a nice pedicure today since I didn’t have time the other day. I love their online system because you can just schedule an appointment and go. All the prices are on there too so you don’t have to guess. you’re welcome to bring in your own polish so I’m going to rummage through my OPI collection!
Liz also just got some new semi-​permanent dyes in if you want to try out those teals and pastel colors everyone been doing this summer!

This place is awesome. I called in the same day I wanted to come in and Elizabeth accommodated me without a hassle. I had a gel manicure & pedicure that was done very poorly from another place and i needed it to be changed ASAP and I think my technician’s name is Vivi and she was superb. Did my gel manicure in no time and flawless. I love it. Will definitely book my next mani-​pedi appt at this place. Elizabeth & Vivi were just great.
ps
Reasonable price too :))
