AD Nails & Hair

Not sure why this place has such low reviews but I’ve been coming here for the past year and a half and it’s definitely my favorite place to get my nails done. I’ve never been disappointed with a set from here and $ 30 is pretty average priced. I’ve been to Color a couple of times and I definitely like AD better. They don’t rush you from chair to chair and you can actually sit and relax while you’re getting your nails done.
However, I wouldn’t recommend coming here to take off your nails — either do it yourself before you come in or go somewhere else to remove them first. They don’t soak off your nails but instead they take another fake nail to peel them off and let me tell you it hurts like a B.
Overall this is a really good place to get your nails done and there’s hardly ever a wait which is another plus. I definitely recommend giving AD a shot.

This is my second time here and I really like it here! Both times I got a gel manicure for $ 20, which I find cheaper than most nail salons. Chau did my nails the second time around and I love it. It does it slowly and nicely. The color selection here is not that much though. But I would totally come back. Great Service!

Rushed through my full set and although my nails looked good was not happy they didn’t not soak my hands or use the cuticle tool which I appreciate… the price is really good but they don’t have Essie :/​which sucks 4 me. I also hate how they push you to do shellac!!! They won’t even ask you!!! They’ll just give you the color wheel of shellac and ask you to pick a color! This place is good if you’re in a hurry and don’t want to be pampered! Lol be aware that they will try to rip you off!!!

Honestly, not the best nail salon but definitely not the worst but i do love getting my eyebrows waxed from here! They make it so clean and perfectly shaped! Also i recommend only coming for pedis! Manicures are ok here. I’ll be back!

Leaving this review just for others to know how bad customer service is here. You call & ask if they have time, they say yes but you come in and wait. Or have them doing multiple customers nails at the same time as yours. Went in for a fill, over the phone was told 25 $ but when finished was charged 30 $ because I had my nail tips cut. «Kim» was VERY rude too. In such a rush, demanding, & had the worst look on her face the whole entire time. Being 35 weeks pregnant, that’s the last thing I wanted to deal with while having my nails done. Couldn’t even enjoy myself. I used to come here on a regular basis, but never again. My nails are unevenly shaped and super thin. The one star is only because zero isn’t a option

I never Unilocaled but I need to about this place.
This is my 2^nd bad experience. I thought I’d give this place a chance but the customer service here is horrible. I made an appointment at 11:30am to do ONE nail because I broke it the night before. I come in and the lady tells me sorry no appointments. (She sits in the front the first desk to the left when you enter)
Like did I not call the night before to make an appointment and the lady said ok? There was 2 people ahead of me. At this point, I was calm and decide to still do my service. I told her I’ll be back since I wanted to stop by target and then come right back. SHE THEN tells me she can’t guarantee me a spot. And she says it’s very busy you know since it’s a holiday. Are you serious!!! First off, I made an appointment. I’m already going to wait for 2 people and she’s telling me that I can’t even go somewhere for a little to kill time. She expects me to sit there for 1 hr+ just to not lose my spot. Ridiculous! I immediately walked out. Don’t come to this place. Bad customer service will make your experience really bad.

A bit disappointed at the moment as I went in last week to get a gel manicure. I was really appreciative that they let me in when they were near closing time, but then again I felt as if the individual who helped me was rushing. If I would have known quality would have been compromised i would have waited til the next day to get them done. Literally the next morning one nail was chipping off, and tonight all of my nails have chips half way already… I was under the impression gel nails would last longer? Because it’s life time is equivalent to regular nail polish. If that was the case I would have just saved $ 25 to stay home and paint my own nails than to get them professionally done. Super disappointed that the quality was poor, but the two stars for their accommodation.

Color options are a lot nicer than color nails but I would still prefer color nails. Came in around 3:15 on a Monday. The lady seemed bothered that I wanted to change my nail shape because of how crappy it looked. I asked for coffin and the nail shape just didn’t work out the way she did it. It looked so boxy and short. Having that said, I decided to ask for soft stilletto nails. I noticed that after I requested this change she was a bit rude to complete the rest of my nails, but hey I’m paying for this so I’m gonna make sure I like it. The main thing I don’t like about this place is the cheap tools they use to cut nails. The fake nail that was applied onto my nail seemed so thin and flimsy compared to other places. When she took the almost broken scissors to cut some length off, it seemed like the whole nail wanted to rip. I also don’t like how they match the wrong sizes of fake nails onto your real nail. Even the lady at color nails suggested she was going to choose a size a little bigger than my natural nail so when it comes down to filing, there’s plenty of room for adjustments. Because the nail is so small looking, it makes my fingers look so chubby and fat, making it seem very unproportioned as you can see in the photo. Other than the nice color options, I am not looking forward to coming back here. I can see why color nails is always jam packed (it’s worth the wait though)

Horrible service! I just went in so they can give my nails a new shape! «Kim» said $ 10. When they were half ways, I told her I wanted her to fix my tips since she wanted to leave them looking thick. She said she couldn’t. That nobody else would do them the way I wanted! So I had to walk out and leave!

My favorite nail salon, $ 20 for a gel manicure and they don’t charge to remove the gel color like some salons do. They take their time and do a fantastic job, all of the nail techs are super friendly.
They accept walk ins too! They accept cash and card but I believe there’s a $ 1 charge for using ATM. Not too shabby, I definitely recommend them :)

This was my first time trying out this place and it’s my favorite atm! This place is in a very crowded plaza so parking can be a pain. But other than that, the place is very clean and relaxing!
First off, I wanted a coffin-​shaped set of acrylics and it costed $ 30. This price is typical for acrylic nails. I was very pleased with the results because they were very nicely shaped and thin, making it look so natural!
Kim, I believe, did a great job with my nails! She was very thorough with getting each nail shaped perfectly and she was more gentle with the drill on my nails than other people I’ve had that done them. However, when choosing the color I wanted based on the sample nails, the colors were totally different… The color in the bottles do NOT correspond with it’s sample at all. After changing my mind about the color I wanted two times because it was not what its sample looked like, I could tell Kim was getting frustrated with me… but I am so in love with my third choice haha!
Overall, I will be coming back for sure! This place was the only place that was able to shape my nails so that my chubby fingers looked skinny LOL

I came here to get my fake nails removed and painted. The person used another fake nail to remove all 10 fingernails and it was painful. I couldn’t handle it at all and she said it was the only way she could remove them. Don’t they soak it in acetone or something? That did not happen at all. She removed all within a minute or so. First time I ever got fake nails and them taken off, so I don’t think i’ll get fake nails again if it hurts that much to remove.
I got them painted again, but I would have to say it was an Ok job, but after leaving the parking lot, it chipped. It’s my fault on that part.

Never go here to take off acrylics !! They made my nail bleed and took off parts of my real nails and still charged me $ 5 for this !!

This place is my go to place and although there are days where the ladies here seem off I’m still going to give them 5 stars overall. My nails, toe nails and eyebrows are always how I want and I never really have a problem with them, and when I do I point out the flaws and have them fix it.
I’m reading everyone else’s reviews and you know it may be true but every single one of my experience with these ladies have been great. I don’t just go to Thoa, i have been helped by every single one of them and they are all talented in their ways. Of course like every other businesses, if you don’t like something, speak up. If you’re upset with what you got then say something; It’s their job to fix.
With me I’ve grown a relationship with all theses ladies and I recommend others do the same whether it’s with all of them or just one. That also can prevent you from being disappointed in your experience there. Oh and FYI ladies, every where you go someone is talking sh*t about you. Get over it. Get your nails done and get out. No need to act all brand new about it.

I used to love coming here and would always recommend to all my friends but the service SUCKS. If you call and ask if they have time to do your nails they will say yes and then when you come in they will ask you to wait 2 hours and there is only 2 people working on nails … By the time I’m done w my nails I don’t even wanna stay to get design probably another hour wait … All the owner does is gossip w her regular customers she doesn’t pay attention to the rest of her customers. I won’t be returning I have lost all hope in this place would not recommend to anyone.

This place is really good! they did a nice job when they did my nails and i was very happy! they lasted almost a month and no chip until i had to get them done again (my nails were growing out). the down side is they’re not clean. after using the nail products she put them back in her box.
but i recommend my friends coming here for how cheap they are and the good job they do!

Had to write this review so people out there could avoid this place.
I went to this place back in April for my gel set, and later I found out I got fungus. Both my finger nails and toe nails got fungus and I didn’t noticed it until I went back to my usual place and they told me I started to have it. They told me it’s something serious and I should treat it ASAP or else it will get worst. I am currently on treatment and its getting better but for sure I won’t go back to AD Nails ever again. Not sure if they really sterilize their tools. :(

As a regular I used to be obsessed with this place because:
1) The quality of the gelish pedi services (by Jenny) would last me almost up to almost 2 months! The heels of my feet were well scrubbed and taken care of also.
2) Before every new set, I always USED to get my nails soaked & dead skin/​cuticles taken care of by a lady who used to work there, she doesn’t anymore though :(I always forget her name.
3) Thoa’s (the owner) signature 3D nail designs that you basically can’t get anywhere else in SJ. She always knows what I like and is super creative. Yes there are other places that do 3D, but they are not as complex & just can’t compete with her skills! You’ll know it’s her work when you see it, especially in her flower designs; which is why i call it her signature designs. It is also one of the 2 main reasons why I come back.
However, these days I’m a-​little disappointed & am slowly catching myself searching for other alternative nail salons, here’s why:
— Prices: I’m one of those who don’t mind spending a little extra for some pampering, but I also feel like I’m spending @ least $ 80 – 100 (including tip) every 1 or 2 months for shellac pedi & a new set of gel nails (that ruins, thins, and weakens my nails so much that it causes them to chip often & seems impossible to grow) quite unworthy. I used to get 4 – 6 nails w/​3D designs, now I find myself going down to 4 – 2 (or none) and can’t help but think, ‘when the hell was I a baller? Was i high off acetone the whole time when the prices went up or somethin?’
$ 7 3D/​per fingernail btw (if you don’t know already)
— Quality: As much as I hate to say it, the quality of the pedis are not as they used to be. I still am satisfied with the care and precision put into my toes, but my heels are treated half ass in the process. They get dry with cracks within a week, which NEVER used to happen. Now I find myself purchasing foot scrubbers and finishing the job myself @ home, which is definitely not what I am used to or paid for after my visits here.
All and all, I just know I’ll eventually come back on/​before special occasions for Thoa’s designs & Jenny’s French tips for my toes but just not as often as I’d like or used to.
IF you do get a pedi here, chair 1’s massage remote is jacked up.

Roaches and very dirty. Pedicure chairs have stains and god knows what else is running around there.
They try to dig too deep in your nails causing you to bleed. They say sorry and just continue digging.
They get 1 star because their prices are decent – $ 23 for a mani/​pedi but Jenny is the only one to go to but shes always busy. Everyone else is not worth it.
Not a fan and won’t be coming back.
Oh and they have a credit card machine but make you use the ATM machine that charges you an extra $ 2…

Waste of my time. I told them I needed a pedi and to fix a couple acrylics on my fingers.
They did my pedi first and finished it while the ONLY TWO other manicurists did everyone else’s nails first. The three people that came in AFTER me were getting their nails done while I sat there waiting. I waited for 50mins and decided I was fed up and told them to just ring me up for my pedi so I can leave. Horrible time management. It wasn’t even busy. Hire more people for a Sunday!
