About

The 408's Nail is a nail salon on Pearl Avenue in the Pinehurst area of San Jose. The salon describes itself as the no. 1 nail salon in Pinehurst and as a top-rated nail salon, and its booking page shows a 4.9 rating from 310 reviews. The menu covers manicures, pedicures, acrylic and dip powder, Gel-X and hard gel extensions, add-ons, combination packages, gentlemen's services and kids' services.

The salon says it puts quality work, healthy nails and personal attention ahead of rushing clients through appointments, and it states that it follows the highest industry standards. Buffers and files are used once and then discarded, paraffin wax is never reused for another client, and every pedicure is done with liner protection. Combination packages bundle a manicure and pedicure at a lower total than booking them separately; the Signature Soft Glow, for example, pairs a Classic Manicure with a Delight Pedicure for $80.

Listed prices are cash prices, and a 2.5% discount applies to cash payments; paying by card adds a cost. Gel-X removal is free with any service, and each service includes one complimentary drink, with refills at $2. Walk-ins are accepted based on availability. Clients are asked to arrive 5 to 10 minutes early, and a late arrival of 10 minutes or more may shorten the service. Appointments can be cancelled or rescheduled at least 4 hours in advance. Gift cards are available.

The salon prioritizes quality over quantity, aiming for nails that last, consistent results at every visit and a welcoming, professional experience.
