The staff here are amazing. They are always nice, friendly and silly. That makes it fun with us when they can have a humorous joke as well thank you.
First time going to Annie and I love them!. She’s the sweetest and does such a good job! Her shaping is so good! And her design work is the best. It’s hard to find someone who can do designs on my small nails but she did! She has a new customer now.
cindy is the best
Alex did an amazing job! I showed him a photo of the design I wanted and my nails turned out exactly how I envisioned. He also gave me the best massage. Highly recommend this salon!
I have been coming here for the past 4-5 years. I don't come every 2-3 weeks, but I come at least 6-8 times a year. Each time, I haven't left unsatisfied. I don't go to a specific person, but I do appreciate Tina, Alex, and everyone else. The ladies and men are very nice, friendly, and really accommodating. They also offer water, tea, and coffee.
Julie does such beautiful work!
I came in for Gel x extensions and a design I found on TikTok and Lily did a fantastic job. She picked the nude background color to match my skin tone and made it look so easy! I’m coming back just to give Lily a challenge! Love this location, Lily and customer service was fast and courteous.

I come to Kitchen Nail Bar on a regular basis for my tips and toes. My nail stylist, Annie does a fantastic job, and I consider her work to be that of an artisan, not a manicurist, as her nail art, is jus that, art.
The best Nail Salon in San Jose. I’ve tried others and this one was the best. My nails are perfect. Thank you Cindy on my nails and MyMy on my toes. 🌸
Nancy is great, I love my nails.
Annie is the best. She is very skillful, she has done all the nail designs that I requested. She always makes me satisfied every time I come to Kitchen Nail Bar.
This was my first time here. I booked online which was so easy to do. I showed up early and they started right away. It’s a nice salon. I gave Nancy my inspiration and she did a wonderful job. I’m so happy with my nails. I did both a mani and pedi. I would definitely recommend this place.
I had such a great experience here today. I came in to get an ombre french tip manicure. The lady who did my nails was very sweet and took great care of my cuticles, but unfortunately I wasn't very happy with how the ombre turned out. It was okay. It just wasn't what I was asking for. She was so sweet, she offered…
What can I say ladies and men? This is the place to go if you want to feel great get an awesome rub with great people you gotta come. MyMy, Kelly
Had a great experience here! I’m so satisfied with my nail art — the details turned out beautiful. They were able to accommodate a same-day appointment, and the customer service was super friendly and welcoming. Definitely will come back. Highly recommend!
Very friendly and excellent customer service! I would love to get a pedicure but I have horrible feet! Cindy usually does my manicure, but all the techs are talented!
Thks Lily, you always do good job
LILY always does an amazing job with my nails. This time we did a butterfly cat’s eye design on my Gel-X extensions. I love it! TINA has done my pedicure the last few times and over time my toes have become prettier and healthier. Her massages are heavenly! It’s almost spring so my toesies are green.
Love getting my nails and toes done with Bella. She's very attentive and always makes sure I'm happy with designs, nail shape, etc. can't recommend her enough! Love you Bella!
Josie was amazing. I haven’t had my nails done in years and so I wasn’t sure what I needed to get done. I haven’t weak nails but am going to be in a wedding and I explained all this to her and she helped me pick the right option and worked with me to get the design I wanted and they came out beautiful!!!! Thank you…
Lily is my new Bestie!!!! This girl has talent! After seeing her reviews I decided to book her and I don’t regret it! As soon as I sat down I knew this girl knew what she was doing. She’s a baddie top tier! Once you go to her you will never leave her! Top quality. Kitchen Nail bar is the best quality! But lily got it going on.
I had a great experience here on my first visit. Jane gave me good advice on choosing nail colors. She was a very nice and sweet person. I'll come back to this place again. Thank you Jane.
Always a great experience when I come here!! The BEST nail salon in the bay!!!!
Jennifer did an AMAZING job and my nails came out just the way I wanted them too. 10/10 will be back.
Every time I go here, I love my experience. I specifically asked for Trisha to do my nails and their pedicures are absolutely amazing. I haven’t gone anywhere else since finding here. I got Spider-Man, this time!
Julie is always awesome! Get it right every time, and makes suggestions that improve the end result. I always get compliments on her work.
This is my second time getting gel done and I liked my experience. Sang did my nails, even as an older tech she did very well in my design inspo and took her time to do her best. She was very nice and I love my Barbie inspired nails 🤍 my other friend also got hers done by Josie and loved how they came out
Love my nails! The designs are beautiful, and the service is super professional. Josie and Julie are so friendly and lovely—made the whole experience amazing! 💅
Josie did a great job 💗 I love my nails 💗💗
Made an appointment for Christmas nails and Jennifer did a good job.
Jennifer was lovely. She always asked if I liked my nails. She’s outstanding at what she does! Consistently ensures that it’s exactly what I want and takes her time! These are gel nails!
Cindy did an amazing job with my nails! I love how they look and the shape is fantastic. I’ve gotten acrylics a lot of times before and I can easily say these are my favorite by far. Super happy.
Always a pleasure to have my nails done by Josie!
A very BIG shoutout to both MYMY and NANCY (my nail stylists) for always doing such great work in making my nails look so beautiful! I requested a neutral Fall design- neutral base with white polka dots (done by Nancy) and a Green Tea spa pedicure with a pretty taupe gel nail color (done by MYMY) and they turned out…
Love this place! Cindy goes above and beyond. Does an excellent job. I will definitely be coming back! Thank you!
Today was my first visit. Natalie was my nail tech. I was trying something new and Natalie did a great job! My nails look natural and beautiful. I will be back. Thanks Natalie!
I will not let anyone touch my nails except Josie! She does INCREDIBLE nail art and takes whatever design I show her and makes it even better. I will forever go to Josie for my nails.
Love my spooky nails! So so cute, thanks so much Annie!
Bella did my nails exactly how I wanted. Very happy with her work
Nail Bar kitchen is a little bit more expensive than other places but their quality of work is better too. Personally, I go to Nancy but I've seen other techs do incredible work there. I always leave satisfied with Nancy's work. 😌 I usually get dip & a design. The pedicures are great too! I don't have a particular…
Holly does an amazing job every single time and great at designs!
Great nails!! Great atmosphere
My and Lily are my pedicure and manicure artists and I will keep going to them!
Great experience and beautiful nails.
Holly saved me aI had come from another nail salon who did not give me even close to what I asked for Holly listened and ensured each step I was happy I left beyond excited to show off my nails Thank you to a professional staff and incredible stylist like Holly See you in 4 weeks
I’m so happy about how my nails came out! I did wedding nail set with Tracy and she did an amazing job ! My fiancée and I came in to get our mani and pedi’s together and Kitchen Nail Bar was exactly the vibe we wanted before our Big Day. This line is nice and clean very modern design and the nail tech are all so…
Love this place! Tracy’s the BEST! She’s fast & does an amazing with custom nail designs. I posted this because I love her, but I hope she doesn’t get overbooked.
Absolutely amazing work, this was my first professional manicure and I could not be happier! Truly brought my inspo to life
The staff was so sweet and friendly! They did a great job with my nail art requests. I drove all the way from Santa Cruz to San Jose!
Friendly and good service.
Annh did a great job. She is very detailed and clean. I will come back for her again. It would be nice if they offer 5 mins massage on every service and maybe offer if you want coffee or water.
Hana always does a beautiful job! This is my go-to nail stop, the staff is always friendly and on welcoming !
Holly was a great nail tech! Definitely asking for her again when I come in. Super friendly and provided suggestions to make my cat eye design superb!
They are a little expensive but worth spending that money.
Lily does the best nails!!!!! Nice and cozy shop. It gets very busy so book an appointment ahead of time to get your services done.
I’m loyal to Kitchen Nail Bar—especially Annie. Whenever I get my nails done, she’s the only one I go to. She always does an amazing job.
I always have a great experience at Kitchen Nail Bar. Nancy is the best and I enjoy the pedicures especially!
Kitchen Nail bar is the best and Lily is a speedy magician. Always happy with my nails and they last forever. Place is clean and stylish. A little pricier than the next place but worth it.
First time coming to kitchen nail bar and I was so impressed! This is by far my favorite set I have ever gotten. LILY did my nails and she delivered so much better than I had expected! So artistic and creative! Will definitely be coming back!! The teamwork here was amazing, thank you so much Lily, and to Julie as well! :)
A very relaxing atmosphere and they took their time to ensure I was well taken care of. I will definitely be back for sure!
absolutely loved kitchen nail bar! my nails turned out better than the reference photo shown and i will definitely be coming back :)
They were fast and paid attention to details, very happy with the outcome.
I go to Josie for difficult nail art that most people cannot do and she rocks it every single time and it’s always so kind
Nancy and the very talented receptionist did such a beautiful job!
I am so happy with Kitchen Nail Bar! Natalie created a design that is exactly how I hoped it would be. I can’t wait I visit her again.
I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Josie! She went above and beyond—my nails turned out even better than the inspiration photo I showed her. Josie took her time to perfect every detail, from the shape to the design, and it really shows in the final result. You can tell she genuinely cares about…
I love getting my nails done by Annie. I’ve been coming to her for over 2 years now and she does such a great job. She’s gentle and has great attention to detail when shaping my nails and creating the designs that I want!
They are all so nice and my nails always come out so bomb, I love this nail place so much ❤️
These beautiful nails are colored acrylic nails set, with a gel top of nutral natural #856. Then the Xmas nails design is customized by Jennifer my nail tech. She is really good.
I really like this Salon because everybody here is very professional and I love the way that they take their time . My nail tech name is Kelly’s she’s Amazing. I always show her a picture of Nails that I want, and she always delivers with the results. 100% recommend this place.
I stopped in for a manicure and pedicure and was pleasantly surprised by how relaxing and thorough the entire experience was. From the moment I walked in, the staff greeted me warmly and made sure I was comfortable. The salon itself was spotless, well-organized, and had a calm, welcoming vibe. For the pedicure,…
Annie did a great job!! So talented!
My fantastic nail tech Cindy gets my nails on point every time. Kitchen nail bar vibe always so inviting.
Jennifer very sweet and did amazing with my nails. Satisfied every time.
Timely, kind, and so talented. I drive an hour twice a month just to have them do my nails since I moved. Never had a bad experience.
Great experience as always- I am new to the South Bay and it took me a while to find a clean, consistent and reliable salon. Very happy with my techs amber and Lee!
First time booking with Bella and definitely not my last! She was so accommodating and paid so much attention to the details, she really has the skills to pull off complex and abstract looks. I loveeee my nails so much thank you Bella!
The prettiest manicure I’ve ever had. So relaxing and Josie stayed late to finish my nails. Very kind.
By far, Julie is the best manicurist. She’s super sweet and nice. She pays attention to detail, meticulous, very gentle and does an overall amazing job. I had a not so great job done the last time from somewhere else and she fixed it perfectly. Had a bow 3-D placed for the first time, and I just love it and what a…
100000% recommend!! They never disappoint! I’ve had Ken, Bella, Sang and Kelly!!
Highly recommend Lily for both manicures and pedicures! I usually get gel builder and my nails always look great when I leave the salon.
The ladies are fab here. It’s my regular place and I’ve always been happy.
Went to celebrate our anniversary and it was very nice! Julie did an INCREDIBLE job on my nails, probably my favorite nails i’ve ever had!!!! she was so patient with me and did an outstanding job with the nails and the massage! came back for my FOURTH set with Julie — she is amazing!!! crushes it every single time.…
I’ve been coming to Cindy for my nails for several years, and I continue to be impressed with the service I’m offered each time. The salon is clean, they offer a wide variety of polish colors, and they are up-to-date on the newest trends. Cindy always takes her time and never makes me feel like she’s rushing through the service.
My favorite place to get my nails done. Also Tracy is one of my favorite nail technician she always does a great job I have to say perfection. I always leave satisfied with the nail work she does on me.👌🏻❤️
Lily has the cutest designs!!! Here is the design for Thanksgiving!
Natalie did an AMAZING again! I wanted nails for Halloween, but also something elegant for an event I am going to.
I booked with Lily and she did an amazing job!! I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she gave me an even better version! Can’t wait to come back for my next set
best value and service for pedicure and nails 💘 the water and massage for the pedicure are hot and i love the temperature. most pedicures are luke warm and not relaxing enough. this one was incredible. they used many products and took their time to make the feet soft. lee and rose are very kind and gentle. i will be returning to this salon.
Recently moved to the area, and wanted to get my nails done on Sunday afternoon: I called and there were able to take me in. Cute little spot in a plaza, easy parking. I walked in signed n and met my nail tech her name way MyMy lovely lady. Explained services didn’t pressure me with upscale of a mani pedi.…
Great attention to detail and very friendly.
The only place I will get my gel-x nails done in San Jose. Natalie is meticulous, gentle and very sweet - she also stays on top of trends and knows how to execute more technical designs. Natalie really listens and always produces what I want. My nails always last 3+ weeks - I could probably push it out for longer…
My first time here and it was lovely! I was looking for a place nearby that does nail art and decided to try Kitchen Nail based on the reviews and photos. I booked Lily as my nail tech, since I liked her nail design execution from the reviews. And she did not disappoint! Lily was so sweet, friendly, attentive, and…
Love kitchen nail bar. Cindy alway does such a fantastic job with my nails. She takes her tome listens and makes sure to do it right the first time!
Nancy was the best. It was my first time visiting Kitchen Nail Bar after my daughter did her nails there I so wanted to go. Nancy made sure to be gentle while taking off old nails for my new set. She was patient with me while I was trying to figure out my length, shape, and color. I felt so pampered. My price was…
I love the design of my nails, and the pedicure was very relaxing. The staff were very kind, gentle, and courteous.
Kelly is the best! Gel-X with french glazed donut came out beautiful 😍 exactly like the picture
Always come first thing in the morning and it’s so nice because they are just getting ready for the day! I have been on a French tip kick and they never fail to do an amazing job!!
Sam is my nail tech. I usually book with her at least once a month. If you are looking for a talented, professional and sweet nail tech she is amazing. She does an amazing job keeping my nails very stylish!
