Blooming Nails Spa - Full set !! - Nail Salons Near Me - San Pablo, California

See all

Upon entering they were very busy, but they were extremely nice and took me back immediately for my appointment. The pedicure was great, attention to detail, a nice massage, and nice nail tech. Where it went wrong was my manicure, the younger nail tech was removing my dip, she was drilling so fast/hard that it felt like my nail beds were on fire! I pulled back and told her that it hurt, she apologized, turned the dremel down a bit and continued doing it, every time I pulled away and she just giggle a bit and apologize. Had it not been so busy and had I had the courage to ask for someone else, I would have. I should've left, but i was worried about causing a scene and I don't like confrontation. Had the pedicure not gone so well, I'd have given zero stars, but that nail tech was very nice and good at what she does. read more

Blooming Nails Spa is wonderful! They share a parking lot with Sala Thai, Starbucks, and the Arco gas station. It can get busy in that parking lot so prepare! I called ahead to book an appointment after looking at their reviews and Instagram. Everyone is so talented and I loved Tammy's work on her personal account. I booked with Tammy for a full set with design. The team here works well together. Reception made it easy to book and easy when I arrived. All must wear masks and then sign in on the paper check-in. They have hand sanitizer ready as well as have clear partitions between you and the nail artist. I loved this and was so glad to see safety precautions happening. This made me feel more comfortable and at ease. Tammy was right on time and her communication and teamwork with me was amazing. I showed her an idea image and we worked together on it to make gorgeous mermaid style nails. I loved her attention to detail and willingness to explain the steps for me. Truly gorgeous nails and so so happy with the outcome! For payment you can use cash, Zelle, Venmo, or card but if you use card there is a $2 fee. Loved that they had many options for payment to make it easier for all involved. Thank you Blooming Nails Spa and Tammy for my first set of nails in almost two years! read more

Blooming Nails Spa - My final results. - Nail Salons Near Me - San Pablo, California

I came here after hearing about how good this place was from some friends. I got a gel pedicure first thing when it opened on a Sunday and sat through it being rushed. One of my nails had a dent in the gel but the lady who was working on it didn't bother to fix it. Even though I received a regular gel manicure like the person sitting next to me, services received were different - massage vs. no massage, rushing through the work, barely checking in with me, etc. I don't know if it was just a bad day for the person who worked on my nails or what, but I was left disappointed and sad with the experience. read more

Today was a phenomenal day. I was a walk-in but I checked in first and they were able to see me immediately. When I walked in there were a whole bunch of people getting their nails and feet done, I was excited. Holly was my pedicurist and when I say she put me to sleep because of how magical her hands were I swear I could've died and gone to heaven. She was very detailed and making sure my nails are on point especially since my feet look like Chewbacca when I walked in and came out feeling like Beyoncé by the end. The color was nice, the Massage chair was on point, and Holly was the nicest person. She checked in and made sure I was getting exactly what I wanted and didn't assume which was great because I wanted two colors. Holly is going to become my go to girl when I want a great pedicure and exceptional service. Then I went to Tammy who did my eyebrows. I was slaying all around town afterwards. She left a nice little arch, got them nice and clean, and the waxing was so quick and effortless. I felt no pain. I look forward to coming back soon read more

Joseline did my nails exactly the way I asked and I'm very picky. she also was good when I was having complication with my set. The only thing I didn't like was being charged for charms that came off on its own the next day. Otherwise great service and worth tipping‍. read more

Vivian did it again! I loooove my new nails. She worked with me on the design for the candy cane and snowflake nails. For the glitter nails, I had found a gel polish I liked but I was getting dip powder. So she did all of nails with a red dip powder and then covered those nails with one coat of the gel polish I wanted. I also brought in my mom who had an amazing pedicure and couldn't stop raving about the massage from Sophia. My best friend got a manicure and pedicure and was really excited about the quality of her dip manicure. Thank you all for the awesome service and excellent work! read more

I Absolutely Love the service and customer service here. This spa is very popular and can be busy at times. This is why I suggest making an appointment, but also in making a appointment it's just like going to the doctor, you may not be seen at that exact time because things happen. Come with patience on a day and time where you have nothing scheduled after so your not putting the tech in a awkward position where you make them feel rushed. Patience is a virtue and so is Selfcare. One of the biggest things for me when I first patronized this salon was that the owner has great communication skills and makes sure that clients are comfortable and are in understanding with their tech. read more

Tammy and Linda did perfect jobs on my mani/pedi for my wedding. Both of them were very sweet and had great attention to detail. The atmosphere in the salon is so peaceful. I totally recommend Blooming Nails if you need a relaxing time and gorgeous nails read more

I love this salon!! Holly is wonderful! She does beautiful work and I truly enjoy chatting with her. I always make an appointment rather than being a walk-in, and it's really easy to make an appointment. I called at 1pm to make an appointment at 1:30. When I arrived, I was taken right to Holly's station. A perk to this location is it is right up the street from my house. I would give Blooming Nails and Holly 10 stars if I could. Thank you, Holly, for always making my nails look beautiful! read more

This is the last time I'm coming here. I hate writing bad reviews about small businesses, but clients should know what they're getting themselves into. Came in for a nail take off that was fairly easy, but I could feel that she was being careless with how fast and incalculable my nail techs movements were. A part of my thumb nail was ripped off of my nail bed. I'm in pain and am still bleeding and still had to pay $10 to get my acrylics removed. read more

Blooming Nails Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - San Pablo, California

I don't usually write reviews but my experience was just so bad. I've been getting my nails done for years and I have never had someone apply so much acrylic and just overall chunky nails! I have left over acrylic under my nails, acrylic on my skin. it's just horrible, and it took forever because she just kept adding more and more! And I still paid and didn't say anything bc I thought after drilling it would be fine but it wasn't and during drilling she also added more powder just insane! Do not recommend this place for nails- stick to pedicures here! read more

Went for the first time and they attended me very quickly, despite it being a walk-in. They all did a great job and I left feeling very happy with my pedicure and manicure.

If I could rate this place no stars that's what it would be. I asked for a basic gel manicure and pedicure and my experience was not good. I had to ask them to clean up my cuticles and she wouldn't have done it if I didn't ask. I should not have asked because she did a horrible job. She did it too quick and carelessly to the point she drew blood from my finger nail. I also paid a lot of money almost 100$ for just gel on my hands and feet. The lady doing my toes did a careless job as well as if she wanted to get it over with as soon as possible and move onto the next person. Definitely NEVER coming back!!! read more

Pros: Clean Take walk-ins Cons: Nail polish is lifting after first day Nails weren't filed straight. I did let them know but i was told I was wrong. They would tug my finger to the side so it looks like it is "straight" read more

I understand that nail salons can be busy especially during the holidays, but if you're not able to provide the service as you promise or if you're not able to provide a full service, should really start saying no to customers or add more nail technicians, otherwise should not be charging customers full price and they can't be provided full service. What I mean by this is, technicians here rely on just coloring your nails without actually properly giving you a proper manicure, cutting and shaping your nails which what I actually come to nail salons for! Second my nail tech literally just rubs a watery lotion up and down my elbow for 5-10 seconds and doesn't even give my hand a massage AT ALL. WTF. Just pure greed without actually providing service. I've been here a few times because I want to keep giving them another chance but the only thing they're consistent with is crappy, rushed service. 0 stars. read more

Blooming Nails Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - San Pablo, California

Love this place! It's convenient location, cleanliness, zen like environment; the perfect place for a relaxing Sunday self care day. They have facial and body waxing services, premium pedicures with foot massages, acrylicsets, and dip powder options too. I usually do their premium spa pedicure packages. It includes specialized soaks, 15 min massage and a carefully tailored pedicure. The pictures are of my acrylics, I asked for a Jade effect and Tammy was able to create a beautiful blend of greens to make it look like real jade. She did it with the powders, not nail polish so they last longer and have a third dimensional feel. It's been a week and not a chip in sight! I type a lot for work and the nails are comfortable and sturdy. I recommend their pedicures, nails, and bikini waxing. The salon can get busy and I've noticed people come for all the services. They are very male friendly! I've seen couples do pedicures and the guys seem to enjoy the foot massages and massage chairs too!. read more

My god daughter and I were in much need of a pedi, we were walk ins and were hoping it wouldn't be too long of a wait. It was maybe 5-10 min tops. Both of ours were super thorough and did a great job of cleaning. They do not skimp on your massage and use a timer. Loved that! Especially as someone on their feet almost all day 5 days a week. Chill atmosphere, comfy chairs. Live when we find a place with great service! read more

Tammy, she was really nice but this place is a little pricey. I paid $37 for a gel manicure with a design and I am a little upset the gel peeled after 6 days. I am all for niceness but I am about the finished product also. I also have to be honest in how I did not like she did not polish my nails to the cuticle. I don't like the gap that was left between where she stopped the polish and my cuticle. read more

This review is long overdue, but I love coming here for my fill once a month with Tammy! She always does an amazing job taking time to shape exactly how I like, and is also always willing to experiment with designs with me. Been coming here for 1.5 years now read more

Rude. Called and asked if available for a dip removal and gel, gentleman answered asked when I could come and I said I could be there in 10, he said come in. I get there he tells me to sign in my name doesn't remember at all that he spoke to me, I sit for a few minutes doesn't tell me when I can be seen . I asked after a few minutes how long, and he said 10 minutes, which I was wary cause they looked busy. I asked could I get the acetone and a bowl to soak my nails while I wait, a lady super rude said she would have to have someone get up and leave the client to go do that, which I totally get and understand, fine. Dude trying to gaslight me saying when I called he didn't know when I would show up?!?! I told you 10 minutes, anyway waste of my time, didn't bother arguing just left and never coming here again. read more

I highly recommend Blooming Nails Spa. Their professionalism and customer service is outstanding. Thank you Tom, May and Tammie for the great service! read more

I go fairly often in the warmer months for pedicures and am rarely disappointed. There's usually a wait if you didn't make an appointment. The place isn't very chic but the overall vibe is exactly what I want and expect from a reliable nail salon at this price point. Bright red auspicious walls, crowded but clean. They have a pretty extensive pedicure menu though I usually opt for the regular one due to time. I love that it includes a short hot stone massage! Not all of the techs are overly gentle, but they're very thorough. I have issues with my large toe nails getting ingrown and they always take care of it very well. Polish always looks nice. They have a lot of manicure stations and elaborate nails seem to be very popular here! I usually do my own fingernails, but every so often I get a basic gel here and it looks great. Most colors don't last more than 5-7 days, but since the manicure is usually for a single event I'm not stressed about it. Prices have been going up but they're not prohibitive. Parking can be a nightmare in this little strip, so plan on circling a few times. read more

RED FLAG!!! This place will lie to you about who you're making your appointment with even though the person no longer works there. Instead of telling you that over the phone and confirming your appointment with a person that quit, they allow you to come in and pretend like it was an honest mistake. I contacted the shop yesterday and spoke to the owner's husband. I specifically asked for an appointment for my nails to be done by Ben. The owner's husband made my appointment, recited back the time and date. Before he hung up I asked, "The appointment I have scheduled tomorrow with be with Ben, correct?" The owner's husband said yes. I showed up today and in front of me sat a woman. I spoke and said hello then asked, "Where's Ben?" The owner walked over and said that it must have been loud yesterday and her husband couldn't hear me. I told her that might have been true initially, but I confirmed with him at the end of the conversation that this appointment is with Ben correct and he said yes. I informed her that he heard me clearly and should have informed me then that Ben hasn't worked there in over 2 years. Something told me to leave because extras (nail technicians that are on payroll but are not great) never get it right. BOY WAS I RIGHT!!! The woman did NOT listen to a word I said. I walked in with almond shaped nails, immediately informing her I wanted to keep my shape. Walked out with a dagger on my pinky and inconsistent squares on the rest. The color selections are my fault (hideous!) but the bubbles in the polish, the inconsistent shaping of the square, and lack of listening to the client is Blooming Nails, the owner's husband for lying to me about who I was booking my appointment with and the technician that needs communication classes. No wonder I hadn't been there in 2 years, I learned a $40 lesson today. Was not worth it and I will NEVER be back. read more
