A gem in Kyoto 🥰 My nail tech, Yukiho-chan looked after me so well. She’s so sweet and funny 🥰
The girls in here are super nice and accommodating. Even though I do not speak Japanese, my nailtech was so nice and patient and took the time to translate and explain the process in detail. I am super pleased with my nails!
I love my nails 🥰 the salon is so clean and peaceful, I got to watch a movie in the meantime. The technician did a fantastic job.
Went with my wife. I just got my hand and feet trimmed and polished. She got a gel.
I don't even want to give it 1 star! This time, I was looking for a salon that offered fill-ins for same-day reservations, and this one listed as available, so I made a reservation through Hot Pepper. I realized I had used the Shijo branch before, and the good service there was also a deciding factor. After confirming the reservation and getting ready, I got a call from the salon and was told, "We can't offer fill-ins." When I asked why, I was told they were new employees who hadn't finished their training. They also said that all the staff who could offer fill-ins were on vacation. As a salon, considering that it lists fill-ins as available, I think it's strange that they aren't keeping the salon available. I told them I wanted a proper apology and hung up. Then, in the evening, I received a call from a man who seemed to be his boss, or perhaps the representative of the entire salon. He said, "I'm sorry," in an inaudible voice, and that was the end of it. I made a reservation because it listed fill-ins as available, but they didn't say anything about taking measures to prevent this from happening again in the future. When I mentioned this, I was told, 'You're not even a customer, why do you have to go that far? You're banned from all of our stores. Don't ever come back.' Of course, I had no intention of ever using their services again even without being told, but I was shocked by the way they put it. I want my time back. I will be recording this incident so that no one else becomes a victim like me. *I had told them over the phone that I would be writing a review, and they said they would not delete my review, so I think it will remain.
I have gotten a manicure here twice now (once in June 2024 and once May 2025) and had great experiences both times. I do not speak any Japanese, and the nail tech did not speak any English, but we got by just fine using google translate. I made my appt online via hotpepperbeauty, but I see now from other reviews that you can also book via Instagram DM! They have a few different courses to choose from of varying pricing. I think both times I booked I chose the middle option for ¥5500 and then when I looked at the designs, I ended up choosing the ¥5000 option. You are able to choose from various preset options and I believe they update them seasonally. You can also request small changes, such as changes in color. I did this both times I got my nails done, where I chose a specific set but requested it be made pink. Also the base price is based on regular gel, but they offer the option to upgrade to a nice kind that is supposed to last longer for an extra ¥400-600 I believe. They trim cuticles and shape your nails based on your preference, but I was a bit surprised that they never had me wash my hands at any point and they did not do any kind of soaking/wet cuticle remover. The artists’ attention to detail is unmatched, they checked each nail meticulously and made sure that the left and right sides matched in length. They also check each nail with each layer of gel to make sure the overall shape looks good. Overall I’ve been super pleased with my services here and would definitely recommend and return! P.S. my set I got done in 2024 literally lasted 2+ months!
I was here last week and never in my life have I ever been treated so badly as a customer. The nail lady was straight up rude and had a nasty attitude towards me. Quality and price are good here, but I would never come back again simply for the horrible treatment I received. She constantly made me feel bad and as a nuisance so would not recommend if you value normal treatment
10/10 experience - I highly recommend this salon if you’re in Kyoto! Got my nails done twice here and each time the service excellent.
Wonderful experience! I don’t speak any Japanese, but my nail tech was wonderful and was able to guide me and give me the most beautiful manicure ever! She did it all in less than an hour and a half! Seriously much better service than I have ever received in the states! Highly recommend! Side bar, I actually went to the wrong salon TWICE! Google maps isn’t crazy helpful to a foreigner 😭 I went to a completely different salon first and then to a different Sopoca-Lon that is a mile or two from this one. The ladies at the other Sopoca were so kind and helped me figure out where I was and get my bearings. They even called the correct Sopoca and explained how I got lost and missed my initial appointment. They booked me another appointment and gave me the right address! The best service and help ever! I highly recommend this salon and any of the other locations. They are great nail techs and very kind people 🫶🏽
This nail salon is easy to find and they take foreigner reservations via IG DM (no deposit required). Yukiho Kyogoku was my nail artist and she was wonderful! We communicated using Google Translate with no issues. She was very delicate and took her time to perfect my nails. I appreciated that she checked in with me along every step so I was happy with the final product. I would come again for gel nails~
