Sunset Beauty Care

I had a very pleasant experience getting a simple mani/​pedi. Foot massage was no fuss, relaxing, and nice. They provided me with two relatively up-​to-​date magazines to read.
They were super patient with me while I picked out my color. When I went to change my color for manicure, she responded kindly, again no fuss.
The whole thing was timely and painless. I am happy with how they turned out!
I’m also not bothered by a lack of chatter, I actually prefer not to talk much during these things. She asked me a few questions during the pedicure but that was it.

Let me start off by saying that these women are lovely.
I came in to do my eyebrows and they turned out fabulous.
I then had a mani pedi— my mani lasted one day, my pedi actually lasted almost 2 weeks, but their «spa» treatment consists of warm water and a broken massage chair.
Now this is where things get sticky. Literally…
DO NOT GET A BRAZILIAN WAX HERE
I’ve had brazilians done many many times. I try to get one done every 6 weeks so I want you to understand that I am a Brazilian wax veteran.
I am new to the sunset area and wanted a place where I can get all the necessities done at the same time. I came in to get a Brazilian and although we all know that they’re not the most comfortable thing, the pain is quick and then you’re left with a soft and clean area.
*This was not the case here. I left in pain, with a tender area, and not soft and clean.
I spent almost an hour having the lady clean off the wax because she put too much on. After trying to clean it, my pubic area had CHUNKS of wax attached to the LONG hair. She then tried to say it was cus I was nervous and my area was sweaty. Ew, no it wasn’t. So she’s ripping pieces of wax over and over again. Her gloves are way sticky and she keeps touching my legs and belly. By the time I left this place, I did not have a Brazilian, I payed $ 35 out of pure embarrassment and pity and my pubic area is as red as a monkey’s ass. Yeah I know, TMI. They use really cheap wax that is not made for Brazilian or Bikini wax.
I really liked those ladies… Too bad :(

Hong does a wonderful job, takes her time and I Never feel rush. She’s as good as Loanne and Krystin.

Dang it. I’d been growing my eyebrows for months and the lady (Cynthia, I think), took off half of it rather than just cleaning a little as I’d asked. It’s much thinner than I’d wanted. Lesson learned – make the trek and pay the extra $ for thoughtful brow shaping from my girls at Benefit. I’d much rather have take off too little than so much. Could have made someone else happy, but not me!
So much for my more natural look. «Your friends will say it looks so good!» Pfft.
Back to square one. Time to start growing again. :(

A little disgusted with myself that I can here honestly. One of the worst experiences I have ever had at a nail salon and I realize now that I should have just walked out. Granted, I went here looking for a cheap manicure but I still expected a bit more for a $ 27.00 mani/​ped. I felt uncomfortable for most of the service since no one really tried to talk to me, but I suspect that is because of the language barrier and not rudeness.
First thing is that they have the worst nail polish color selection I have ever seen. When they are ready to paint your nails they ask what color you want and pick one of their hideous shades that correspond somewhat to what you have requested. Then they try and sell you on the color because that is all they have. I understand they are doing their best with what they have but they didn’t even do a thorough job removing all of my old nail polish. Left with a forced smile and feeling a little bamboozeled.
I also suspected that they did not use freshly cleaned tools for every client which is a major no-​no. Unfortunately my experience here warrants that this was my first and final visit here. However, I hate to disparage a business simply because I had one bad experience, so while I may never return, they may still be completely capable of providing someone else with a perfectly decent manicure (you have been warned of what not to expect).

Cute little salon and great prices. $ 19 for a spa pedicure that is very moisturizing. Hoang did my nails and she was fantastic!

I came here since Christine still is the owner. The lady took care the nails part for Christine, her name is Kim. They really really nicely to every customer.
And more important is they really do a good job for my
did my nails nice and clean. but after 2weeks I came back there for my nails gel I saw Christine is gone .Kim is not there too. then a new lady is Han? Yuki, the hairstyler she own that shop. I kept looking at the new lady I wanted to make sure she is Kim, but I found out she doesn’t, she just looks like. When I asked them «where is Kim?»
Yuk I said «she will not work for here no
is the new lady, she do good too. let’s try.»
I did trust them for a while. Han is ok for making the nails. but not that good or great. some time she can’t see the gel color from last time. And around my nails it does has a lot the died skin. but she said «I told u don’t cut it at home by urseft.» Because she didn’t fu*king clean that good for me. when she doing my nails I always have to tell her“here has color need to clean or here has skin need to cut.“but their price is cheap and around sunset. that’s why I’m kept go there.
But the only things they real made me mad is last time. Han kept telling me to do a new style nails color. I did thinking about it for couple mins. then she looks like not have time to wait for me to thinking. then ok I tried. but before she do my nails she didn’t said that’s extra design u need to pay more money. actually event u tell me at the first, no matter how much. I always come here. but she still play that game with me. After we done she said u need pay more money. cuz we did design. I knew they smart, but when u play smart with ur customers and showing up to them. ur just making fun with ur business. I really upset about they did that.

very nice & calm place to get your nails done :) I got a clear/​glitter «dip» — super cute! competitive pricing too!

I really enjoyed my mani-​pedi experience at Sunset Beauty Care. It’s a small nail salon + barber shop, staffed by two sweet ladies. There are only two pedi chairs and one mani station, and well, one lady doing nails, so make a reservation. My lady (I forgot to ask for her name) took her time with my nails. She was very thorough and gentle. I don’t like other places where they hurry to get done with you and move on to the next person. I got some nail art done which she did a good job with. Total for mani-​pedi and nail art for two nails and tip was $ 40. Not bad at all!

I live a block away from this salon and am so happy to have found it! I come in about once a month to get a pedicure and the girls are so friendly and the nail technician does such a great job with my pedicures! I have extremely ticklish feet and she manages to do my pedicure in a way that makes me not want to kick her! I’ve had some drastically bad pedicures in the past that led to infected toenails and I’ve been coming to this place every month for the past 2 years with no problem whatsoever.
It’s a small shop with only two pedicure stations and only one nail technician so I always call and make an appointment so I don’t have to wait. I wouldn’t recommend just walking in because of them only having one nail technician. The shop is clean and the instruments are maintained very well. The polish always lasts the full month until I return for another pedicure.
All in all, a fantastic local shop I’m happy to have so close to my home!

For a relatively simple and cheap gelish manicure, this is the place to go! I’ve had my nails done here twice now, and both times the experience was relaxing, yet speedy.
Most important of all, the polish lasted for over a month without any majorly noticeable damage! And I am super tough on my hands.
Added bonus: the ladies that work here are super funny.

Made a same day appointment to do a full leg wax. It was $ 40. The lady who helped me seemed like she wasn’t very good at waxing; seems like an amateur. It seemed half assed because she only waxed some parts and not everything. I get that my hair is thick and hard to wax but there are some thin hair she didn’t even get. She didn’t do a good job cleaning me up afterwards too. I left sticky and not fully taken care of. The other place I been to that’s the same price even did a better job than her. Not recommended.

I came in to have a gel manicure with a cheetah design on my ring finger. I brought in a picture and unfortunately they couldn’t replicate it exactly because they lacked the nail colors. Be aware, they don’t have a large selection when it comes to gel color. An older woman (I didn’t get her name) did my nails. It ended up taking her two hours! The overall color was really messy. The edges weren’t clean and sharp as I like them to be. I left the shop with some residual nail color on my fingers. And the cheetah print didn’t look like cheetah print, just a bunch of circles with a dot in the center.
I appreciate that she tried to do the best she could, but I’m not going back there. A gel manicure like this should only take one hour.

Great job Huang (sp?) for my Gel Manicure. Took her time and was very gentle. Will definitely come back! Make sure to call ahead of time to make an appt!

I called in requesting an appt for 1 gel manicure & 1 gel manicure & pedi (it was me + a friend). She told me to come in.
It’s a hole in the wall salon with 1 nail technician. When I arrived, she mentioned that she misunderstood and didn’t realize it was service for 2 people. She did our services anyways. Very friendly and nice.
Huang did my pedicure and the gel manicure for my friend. She was friendly and did a decent job. What was missing was that she couldn’t do any designs, such as simple stripes because she didn’t have any tools. That’s minus points in my book (especially since the nail photo samples from the salon is the reason why I went here).
Shortly after, an older woman came in for her nail appt (she was a 15 min) and the owner told him there’s a delay because of our services. Older lady got upset, almost threw a fit so I decided to give up my gel manicure so she can get her nails done on time.
I wasn’t that thrilled since they couldnt do the design I wanted so I’m going to my regular nail salon to get it done.
Nice people but the nail services are super limited and I wouldn’t go back.
*They only have Gelish brand — no OPI or Jessie gel colors

I had a wonderful experience here.
I haven’t had my nails done in ages and don’t know any clean decent nail salon in my neighborhood. After reading all the Unilocal reviews, I found this place.
This place doesn’t have fancy store front. It is so not obvious that I missed it the first time I passed it. I didn’t have to wait long for my turn since it was Monday morning. I think the nail lady’s name is Huang. She took her time to trim off my inches of cuticles and buffed and trimmed again. The whole process took about an hour. She is just so gentle and meticulous and I’m so happy with the outcome. I will definitely be back regularly.

I got a very thorough eyebrow wax here. Some evil waxer in the past had created a hole in my eyebrow, and this esthetician was able to fill it in with magic, I presume. My eyebrows look like sex. I would recommend this service to anyone.
However, my manicure left some to be desired. Done by a different woman, it was all going well until some cuticle cutting turned into a bloodbath. I felt a prick, then a sting. I looked up at her with eyes that said «I am dying!» So, she put something on it that made it feel like my finger was most definitely going to fall off. After that, it stopped bleeding and she continued her work. When I was drying my nails, the blood started again. I sternly said «It’s bleeding again. I need a bandaid or something.» She had the gall to say «What happened?» You happened, miss. You happened.
Tl;dr: Great eyebrow wax. Bloody finger nails.

Christine is a perfectionist and always does an amazing job! The shellac last for about 3 weeks– even then the polish looks great it’s just my nails grown out. Love her! I travel from walnut creek to get my nails done by her :) love that they take credit/​debit cards and don’t charge extra. Lots of colors to choose from. Small shop but call and make an appointment with Christine and she’ll get u in ASAP! One thing I really appreciate at my walnut creek place (Olympic) is that the staff only speaks English to each other which is nice because everyone hates when they feel like they’re being talked about in a different language. All Sunset staff I’ve encountered speaks English well, they should consider adopting the same policy to ensure customer comfort. Talk about our weird toes or crooked finger after we leave

These ladies did a great job on my nails, they were nice to talk to, it was a good value for the price and it’s a nice neighborhood business.

OMG I am sooo excited! Okay, so let me start by telling you how picky I am about my nails, hair, etc. I am super anal about how I get my nails done, like big time. Christine was AMAZING, as I was sitting there, the word that kept coming to mind was meticulous… seriously this lady is so thorough, she did everything perfect!!! I have found my new spot! Oh and I also got my eyebrows done, and you guessed it, I’m super picky about those too… BEST I’ve had in a realllly long time! Unilocal did not disappoint with this one, I promise you won’t be disappointed, she is RIDICULOUSLY AWESOME!!!
$ 10 for a regular mani, $ 20 for a gel mani, $ 19 for a pedi, $ 27 for a mani/​pedi, $ 9 for eyebrow wax… just a few of the prices I remember! :)
Christine is also super sweet, such a kind and genuine lady, I’m very excited to have found my new nail guru! :)
