    I highly recommend going to Kathy to take care of your acrylic new sets & any manicure needs! She will do exactly what you ask for. She works very fast without rushing, she's just naturally good at what she does that you will be in and out of the salon! I am always satisfied with my sets, from single colored dip powders to French tips. She is very talented & I can guarantee you will leave happy each time! I've referred many friends & families to Kathy, they have nothing but nice positive things to say. Booking with her is easy as calling the salon phone number, messaging her on her Instagram page @kathynaildesign, and/or texting/calling her phone number for any inquiries (510) 599-8818.

    Mani/pedi by Tracy

    This is a review for eyelash extensions and mani/pedi. I decided to try eyelash extensions back in Feb. Basically Lisa glues on natural looking eyelashes onto your existing eyelashes. The result was that it looked natural, not fake or overdone. I got a couple of compliments on how natural it looked. It does take about an hour but you're laying down so it's quite relaxing. You do have to make sure not to get oil on them and you have to wash around the extensions and brush them with those eyelash wands. The lashes lasted about a month but it was hard for me to maintain them and either the glue or lashes just irritated the skin around my eyes. The price is reasonable but they just weren't for me. As for the nails, this is what I've been doing for self-care. I've never been one to keep up with my nails. I just never found a nail technician who I liked until Tracy. She is really sweet and has been doing mani/pedis for me. Plus the spa chairs are soooo comfortable. Prices are really reasonable.

    I really love coming here! I used to get my nails done at Angel nails back when Cody used to work there. Unfortunately when he left I also happen to be pregnant so I stopped getting my nails done and it had been two years since then. I semi recently started wanting to get my nails done again and I was looking around everywhere, I found this place local to me as I live in San Jose but the woman who did my nails... Honestly I did not like them at first. I think they grew on me just because I figured well I am going to have them for two weeks so no use crying about it. However my friend ended up going to Kathy at the Balentine Beauty Salon and She raved about the nails that she got. After she sent me a picture I was like I absolutely have to try that spot out! My first time here I met Kathy and she is just an absolute delight. She is very personable, very friendly, she gets you laughing very easily. She does just such an amazing job on the nails. Each visit I have left feeling so happy about my nails. the time and the effort she puts into them really shows and I am so grateful for that. To top it off she is even cheaper than the previous woman I went to so now I just give her a bigger tip because she's absolutely worth it. Also the longest I have gone before getting a new set of acrylics was 3 1/2 weeks and there was still no raising by the part that's closest to the cuticles, there is no breaking no loss of color, no damage whatsoever. The quality at this salon is absolutely amazing, if you are on the fence or if you're looking for a new spot (and I know how hard that can be because I was looking for over a month for a new spot) try this place out! You will not regret it!

    $15 for mani, $5 extra for gel removal. The lady who did my nails was nice, but not too detail oriented when it came to coloring my nails. The surface of my nails were uneven after coloring.

    Going to this salon will make your day fabulous when pampered as you like it from head to toe. Lisa has proven her expertise in dealing with my thick coarse hair over the years , from getting a sleek straightened look for a long hair , to a trendy look to your medium length hair. Today, I was ready for a big change and although she's hesitant to cut my hair short, again she worked her magic! Thank you Lisa!

    I just got my nails done today with Tracy;)

    Long overdue review but Sapphire Beauty Lounge has easily become my go-to for gelx since Jan 2024…read more I come here about once a month and always leave feeling more than satisfied with my nails. I usually go to Kate or Nikki, but I've also had my nails done by Betty and Amy as well. You can tell that everyone here is very thorough and don't rush and my sets last for a long time and personally, I've never experienced any nails breaking or have been dissatisfied with the service or results. I also love that I don't feel pressured for a certain service or style like I have at other salons and they've even recommended certain colors or add-ons to enhance the vision I'm going for - whether it be a slightly different color to prevent fading or a color that might pop better against my skin. I'm not usually a design girly but here I feel like I can trust Kate and Nikki to try something different that maybe I don't have a specific vision for. I'm not one for super long nails either but the short almond suits my nail beds really well and because of how the staff does my nails, I feel like it isn't bothersome until I need to get a new set. The aesthetic of the salon is super clean and bright, making it feel relaxing and luxurious at the same time. I also feel like the price is pretty reasonable compared to what I've heard other salons charging. Since I started going here I have not regretted it and definitely recommend.

The salon is bright, clean and well decorated, making it feel very inviting. These things are important because that's how you know they'll really take care of you! That and also the amount of polish and design variety they have is super important. Hailey was my nail tech and she was very kind and helpful when it came to selecting the polish colors for the design I requested. It was so nice to get her recommendations & expertise because sometimes you just don't know what colors to choose based on the reference photo when the nail techs make you choose the polishes on your own. Throughout the process, she was quick while carefully and meticulously worked on cleaning, shaping, filing and painting my nails, giving me the most beautiful almond shape and polish just how I like it. As for the design, she did a great job based on the reference photo and I can't be more happy with it! If you're thinking about going here, just make your appointment already.

Customer service and nail services consistently lacks because they're too busy/rushed. Find another salon! There are plenty of other cute ones with the same snacks and drinks and they provide better service. I've found another and it's so much more relaxing than this place. This place has really gone downhill. I've been coming for about a year but my last few services just got worse and worse to where I refuse to come back. 3rd to last appt - I came at a busy time and felt like my nails were really rushed so I decided to try coming on a different day. 2nd to last appt - I got a gel pedicure and there were bubbles and the customer service felt rushed. I started to realize this is becoming the norm here. Last appointment - I had a scheduled appointment and I waited for 30+ minutes until I decided this wasn't relaxing or worth it any more so I left. After 25 mins of waiting, the front desk lady gave me a bowl to start soaking my hands and she said "they're coming soon." They never communicated an apology or explanation that this would be a delayed appointment. Normal courtesy from salons is to give a heads up if it's 10-15 mins late. I waited 30 minutes and just decided to leave. As I was walking out the front desk person asked if I wanted to reschedule, I said no thanks and she just sighed as I was walking out. Never got an apology til the end..

    I recently had my nails done in Japan, and after 6 weeks, it was time to have them removed and…read morereplaced with a new set. It was easy to schedule an appointment with Nailaland, just give them a call and book. The removal fee was $15, and the cost of a new set varied from $70-90+, depending on the chosen design. Chloe, my nail technician, was very patient during the removal process despite the big jewels flying everywhere as she was filing it off. After showing her a photo of the new design I wanted, she skillfully delivered a pretty finished product that I absolutely loved. Unfortunately, one of the butterfly wings broke after I got home, but Chloe was able to schedule a free fix after I contacted her. The salon accepts Venmo, Zelle, and PayPal as payment methods. I highly recommend coming here for quality Japanese nails.

    I have mixed feelings about Nailaland…read more I have been looking for a nail salon in the east bay that uses Japanese gel and stumbled upon this place bc of the great reviews. Japanese gel is supposed to last much longer and doesn't lift. I immediately requested an appt. (it was my first time using this yelp option!). I answered some automated questions about the service I was interested in (nail art), dates I was available for an appt., who I'd like to make an appt. with (I chose Janice bc she had more reviews), and uploaded photos of inspo nails. I was messaged back in a timely matter to confirm the appt. I also inquired about the price (included a photo of the nails i wanted) to know what to expect with nail art. I was quoted $70-$75 (without extensions). Fast forward to my 11am appt. a few days after our interaction.. I arrive 10 min early, but the shop is completely closed. The sign says they are open at 10am, so I'm confused, like maybe I'm at the wrong place or?? I call, a girl apologizes saying someone should be there shortly. Ok, not a huge deal. I thought I would be getting my nails done by Janice, since that's who I chose in my appt. request, but Yumi was the one who opened up the shop and ended up doing my nails. She was really sweet and easy to talk to. For my nails, I wanted the design from the photo, but without the accent nail. I wasn't completely satisfied with my nails bc I feel like it wasn't as precise as in my inspo photo, but it was decent enough. When I went to pay she told me my total was $89, which caught me off guard bc according to our messages, I was quoted $70-$75, which when I told her, she said "I said it would be AROUND $70-$75." Why give a price range and not honor it? $14 is a big difference. Anyway, I'm not one to cause a scene so I paid, tipped, and left feeling like I was taken advantage of. 5 days after getting my nails done, the gel has already started lifting/ peeling. I'm even more disappointed and probably would not come back.
