“I visited this nail salon for the first time recently and had the most wonderful experience. I appreciate that all pricing is clearly listed as soon as you enter. The salon smells nice, not just of polish and other chemicals. It's very clean and has pleasant decor. Everyone is neatly dressed and has smocks to cover their clothes. My stylist, Holly, was spectacular. Her attention to detail was great, while also being quick (except when it came to the hand and arm massage). I will definitely be back again!”

“I’ve been going to this salon off and on for a few years. I always ask for Harry to do my nails. His precise work is top notch. I love hearing his stories of trial and tribulation as well as his jokes. He is so funny! His wife works there too and she is a lovely beautiful lady. Amazing family owned business. Most people that go there are regulars and have known the family for many years. They always give amazing service. They are a part of what makes San Carlos a great neighborhood”

“Absolutely love Boutique Nails! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and well taken care of. The manager, Yen, is truly amazing — warm, professional, and attentive to every detail. I had the pleasure of having both Thy and Lien work on me at the same time for a simultaneous pedicure and manicure, and they were fantastic! They were gentle, precise, and made the whole experience so relaxing. My nails look flawless, and I couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend Boutique Nails for anyone looking for top-tier service and a touch of luxury!”

“I had been coming here for years before we moved out of state on military orders. I have not found ANY nail salon, in the 10 years I have been away, that surpasses this place. I knew I was coming into town for a visit and you best believe I came here! Every other place will only do boring flowers. These ladies will make your vision come to life.”

“Harry, his wife Yen, and the entire staff are very personable, professional, and incredibly talented at their work! The vibes are always nice and I love seeing the decorations they put up for holidays. I always leave satisfied with the service I receive and I can truly tell they use high quality materials (my nails last me around 7 weeks!). I cannot recommend this place enough!”
