This probably the worst nail experience I have in 10 years. I have been doing gel nails mani for the last 5 years. I have my favorite place in SJ but if I don't have time then I'll try some new places in the area base on availability. I went to awesome nails the first time yesterday. The lady did such a terrible job removing the gel and didn't do a good job with shaping my nails. The she apply the polish so clumsily that it look terrible. Then I woke up this morning with a huge indentation on my index finger nail. I have never ever experience that before. I couldn't stand it, so I had to go back and get it removed. Wasted $45 for terrible experience and nails undone. I never like to leave bad comment but this is just ugh... read more

My third visit was yesterday and I continue to be very happy! My nails were done exactly as I requested. The pedicures are good and thorough and the staff is friendly. Well worth a visit. Prices are good too :) read more

Awesome Nails - American Pink and white acrylic - Nail Salons Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

Very impressed. Came in on my lunch break and was seen right away.

I walked in to this place on my lunch break. I'm evaluating new nail places near my job. I asked them to fix one of my nails which had just broken - and figured I could evaluate the job and see if I wanted to make this my new place. There were two customers and three employees when I walked in. After explaining what I wanted, two of the women gave me extremely dirty looks, spoke heatedly and disgustedly for three minutes, then told me they didn't have time. Really? read more

Friendly, very clean, close and efficient - I'll be coming back!

First visit was very good. Clean, new and comfortable chairs. Nails done well, both manicure and pedicure. Nice big window to look out. Friendly staff. Will be back again. read more

Best ever ! Highly recommend! Great job !! New owner Kathy is the best !! Pedicure chairs are amazing and give a great back massage :) very friendly staff read more

My daughter picked this shop based on the Yelp reviews. I called and made 3 appts. for us to get our nails done for her wedding. She got a gel French manicure, her sister got a regular manicure, and I paid $3 extra for the longer lasting OPI polish. We got our nails done on Thursday 9/14. The gel and the regular still look great. Mine started flaking on Saturday and I will try to attach pictures of what they looked like today. Big flakes of polish came off. I think the technician forgot my base and top coats or something... The service was very good but I cannot recommend the upgraded OPI polish at all. Very disappointing for me. read more

See all

This place SUCKS!!!! The ONLY way you're getting a decent pedicure is if you ask for Tim. He gives LONG, AWESOME massages. The women will give you five seconds of a quicky CRAP massage...DONT waste your time on them. You'll be SADLY disappointed read more

Great pedicures at a great price. Peaceful environment, ample parking, friendly staff. Overall awesome place to get a pedi in Walnut Creek!

It's a small small place. I've been a few times and this is what I've seen: 3 or 4 massage chairs with two people doing pedicures, sometimes one depending on the time. One lady who does acrylics. Don't know if the others are trained to at least do manicures. Make an appointment because this place is small. The lady is good at what she does. The guy is friendly, but his paint job kind of sucks. read more

Giving a one star because I had to go back not once but twice for them to fix gel nail polish both on my hands and feet that chip two days after service . I walked out the second time and paid to get everything done again at my normal spot. Super inconvenient because I have to find sitter for my children when I go and that alone costs me . Will not be returning . read more

Excellent! Had a pedicure. Great foot/leg massage - great service - great massage chair. Definitely coming back!!!

Ask for Tammy! She has an incredible attention to detail. I had the best pedicure I've had in a long time. The massage was a solid 10 minutes and she incorporated hot stones.. amazing. She did a perfect paint job and was so friendly. Love this place read more

Kathy and her team are WONDERFUL! They provide a great service, are friendly and pamper me into relaxation. Her nails last forever and the pedicures are perfect for me. Anyone looking a superb manicure/pedicure, who would like a nice spa experience, head on down to AWESOME NAILS. read more

Found my new GO to place! i went in with a friend for a meni-pedi on a thursday afternoon. The staf was friendly and made sure you got what you wanted with out trying to up sell you anything or do it their way like most places. i give them 5 startsfor theyre Cleanliness!!!!! They opened up the instruments right infront of you , i work in the medical field and knowing that they sterilize the instruments is always a + , not only that but right at closing time two guys came in and started washing the bowls where they do the pedi's ! ive never seen that done else where! read more

Tim does a great job with a pedicure. The whole experience is so clean and relaxing. I highly recommend!

Went in today and Lien JACKED my nails. You'd think it would be hard to make one's nails shittier than upon entering the establishment, but it IS possible. Before I knew what was happening Lien cut my nails way past the pink so much so that my fingers actually started hurting. If that offense wasn't enough, her cut was crooked so my forefinger nail is completely tilted. Then she painted them and left more an about a milimeter around all edges. Absolutely disgusting. And the owner decided to charge me the full amount even though I have patronized this establishment for over a year. Avoid at all costs. Employees are distracted and will jack your nails if you aren't vigilant and the owner doesn't have the integrity to right a wrong. This is the first review I've ever done bc I feel the need to warn others. Take your business elsewhere or face the possibility your nails will look literally shittier than when you arrive. Mine now look like I bite my nails thanks to the brilliant job by Lien. read more

I love Kathy! She does the best nails ever! I have followed her for 8 years and counting! You want "Awesome Nails" then there is no where else to go but here! Truly the best! read more

After having many bad experiences around town, I have finally found a great place to get my nails done! Tammy did an awesome job with my pedi and Lien did such a nice job with my French gel manicure. The shop is so easy to get to with free parking. It is also very clean and bright. They also knock of a couple dollars if you pay with cash. Thank you! read more

Great nail salon - went for the first time for an eyebrow wax and pedicure. Both women took such care with what they were doing, and I got a 10min leg and foot massage (guessing because the spa was empty). But what a great spot and level of service!! read more

The girls here are great! They knew exactly what I wanted and did an amazing job! I highly recommend them!

Not so awesome. I took my Granddaughter for a manicure. Nails were cut much to short, no shaping at all. Polish started to chip the next day and was applied much too thin and uneven. Staff was friendly and if you have your favorite person you might get decent service. Will not return read more

Terrible place! Don't waste your money and go somewhere else. My nails don't look like I had a manicure at all. They look like I painted them myself. Plus the polish was way too thin. You can see patches with barely any polish on them. The very next day, the polish started coming off. I'll never return here. Even if it was free. No way. read more

Use to go to a shop in Pleasant Hill but within the last year all the employees who's been there for years all disappeared. Don't get me wrong the new workers were nice but it wasn't the same. So I decided to go on Yelp to find a new shop in Walnut Creek and found this place. I didn't know which nail lady to go to but after reading several reviews a lot of women recommended Lin (sp?). Lin is such a sweet lady. I'm sure the other ladies are nice and sweet too but Lin is my go to. The last time I came here, I called a day before to make an appointment and sure enough Lin was free which was so convenient for me and my schedule. My husband also enjoys coming here to get his pedicures too. read more

Had my nails done here today by a gal whose named stared with a J. Not impressed for a number of reasons... I had no polish on one of my nails and she started filing the top with a nail file and I said no do not file the top and she's like well there is polish and continued to do so and finally pulled out the remover to finish the nail like she should have to begin with...when it came time my the massage that lasted a total of 10 seconds she just put lotion on my hands and wiped it off. My nails are crooked, rough, and I have polish on my nails. I still fave a tip which I regret because I didn't get a thank u read more

Great employees, clean facility and they don't rush you or ask if you want other services like most others. Highly recommend and glad I found them! read more

I could not be happier to have found a great nail place in the area. Everyone there was very nice and serious about customer service and maintaining a sanitary environment for every customer. My nails were perfect and I highly recommend!!! read more

This is always such a great experience! Jenny does a wonderful job, I always leave here feeling good with beautiful toes!

WOW just got home from a shellac mani/pedi and I have to say Jenny and Lien did a great job. Clean salon, relaxing atmosphere, and they both took their time with me even though I was the last one in there right before they closed! They were so accommodating and friendly and the price was unmatchable. I'll definitely continue coming here and will recommend my friends to do the same! read more

Their name says it all! An awesome experience. Lee was wonderful, so was the treatment, massage and pedicure. It's been a month and my toes still look great! I'll be back soon not because the polish is chipped, but to keep my toenails from getting too long. If I had to wait until the polish wore out I couldn't wear my running shoes! read more

The ladies at Awesome Nails did a great job! Very relaxing, small shop. Will be back and will recommend . Had an appointment taken right away read more

Awesome Nails is under new management. The new owner Kathy, has been doing my nails for about 16 years. I would highly recommend Kathy. The show is very clean, the prices are very reasonable and staff is very freindly. Great service!! read more

i visited this salon today because it sounded from other reviews that most people were happy with their experiences and they gave attention to detils and used sterilized tools in a clean environment. when i got to the salon, i realized this was also my second visit to the salon and the design on my 2 big toes had lasted ~6 months. so, as you can see, i do not do pedicures frequently. well, this visit was really horrible. i ended up with cuts that bled on 3 toes, the only way i got all the dirt out from under my 2 big toes was to do it myself and the pedicurist tried to begin a massage while i was still trying to get the dirt out from under the nails even though i asked her to stop the so called massage. also, the pedicurist spoke very poor english and did not understand simple statements as asking her to wait on the massage until i finished cleaning the nails, did not understand the simple design that i wanted for the 2 big toes and or when i asked her to apply more pressure - rub harder - with the massage. i did give the pedicurist - tammy - a tip because i know her salary is low!. however, i will never go back to this salon again and i certainly do not recommend this salon to anyone!! also, this is the very first time i have ever written a review for anything but i feel so strongly about my awful experience, i felt it was absolutely necessary!!! read more
