Excellent Nails

I went here while visiting Mountain View in 2021 and loved it so much that I went wayyy back through my history to find the name. Unfortunately my experience wasn’t so great this time around. My nails feel really thin which can be the case if I have had multiple sets of fake nails back to back but in this case I had been worn one set fake nails for about 3 weeks with natural nails before. Also while there was alot of attention to cuticles but they still look bad. The part that most bothers me is that my nails were tearing on the side but nothing was done to reinforce them, just sort of painted over where there were clearly cracks. Feels like a waste of $48 First photo in the car after the appointment Second photo 3 days after appointment Third photo 10 days after appointment

Update: July 2025 Check out the glassy summer nails I got today. The photos are at the end! If you want a manicure that lasts 4 weeks without chipping or lifting, get a dip manicure from **Lien** at Excellent Nails. Her nail art is beautiful and meticulous too. I’m in love with my ombré nails with sparkle accent I got yesterday.

I've been going here since my old salon closed down during the pandemic, and been super happy with them. Lien introduced me to dip powder, and does wonderful job on all kinds of nail designs. Highly recommended. My wife doesn't usually get her nails done, but broke a toe nail half-way down right before leaving on a trip; we stopped by to see if something could be done, and Lien took care of it, with a wonderful job that she had no trouble with the nail until it grew out. Photos are some of the designs Lien has done for me.

Late post. I absolutely love my new nail polish! I've been a loyal customer of this nail salon for years, and they never disappoint. They offer a wide range of services, including dip, gel, and classic manicures, all done with great attention to detail. The technicians are highly skilled and knowledgeable, which makes the experience even better. One of the things I also appreciate is how easy it is to find parking nearby. Whether you're coming on a busy day or a quiet one, there's always a spot within a short walk of the salon. Overall, this place continues to exceed my expectations, and I'll definitely keep coming back!

This is my go to place for nails around Mountain View. They take their time and leave you with great nails. I have tried gel manicure and dipping powder here. They last me about 2-3 weeks before some nails start to chip due to chores, life etc. Attaching some of the designs i got here over the past 2 years, most recently by Lien, who patiently did an ombré dipping powder “summer” nails set for me. Thank you Lien, absolutely love your work!
