This place is a gem and worth every dollar spent!…read more I've been to quite a bit of nail salon places in Concord/Pleasant Hill/Walnut Creek area. There are some that are good, but unfortunately some that makes you not want to treat yourself in getting your nails done. That was what happened to me last year. A place I will not name, just shellacked the acrylic powder on my nails extremely thick, making me look like I have some nail related abnormality. And as a people pleaser, I just decided to deal with it and cry on my way home. That experience made me not want to get any more manicures. Fast forward to now. I missed feeling pretty and got super inspired by the nail art that the IG algorithm threw at me. I wanted to treat myself to a manicure with some art to celebrate Lunar New Year. This was a last minute game day decision, so during my appointment at Beau Den Spa, I surprised the owner with a picture inspiration... and she went above and beyond! She could've told me "I can't do them within the time frame of our appointment" or "nope." She probably could say "oh hell no" and I'd completely understand. I even said she can simplify them...but she did it all! They are the best nails I've ever had! Not an exaggeration but legit! She is extremely talented and meticulous. If you ever want to get elaborate nail art done, this is the place to go. Just make sure to let them know in advance of the complexity so that they ensure ample time is set aside. My mother is a huge fan of their pedicures. It's the only place that I know in the area that provides the highest quality of service. They do not rush nor do they speed their massages. Their name fits their services. You do indeed feel that you're getting a spa treatment. There are probably cheaper places to get your nails done in the area, but this place is where the quality standards matches the price point.

I did enjoy the massage chair- it appeared they were all working and in good order. The woman next to me said to her friend said the chairs were her favorite part of the pedicure and that they never rush her out of here after her pedicure. Says she has stayed as long as an hour after just to enjoy the massage chair. The foot massage was nice- and felt like the nail tech knew what she was doing- not just a half hearted foot squeeze. I just wish it were longer and more treatment. I was not given/shown an option of levels for my pedicure I also still have calluses on my feet. The polish color does not look like the one I picked/ will need to get a polish change now while on vacation Also- Polish doesn't cover entirety of toes Plenty of parking when I went. I would go again- maybe ask for more clarification I was working remotely while here so wasn't watching every move

From the moment I walked in, it felt more like a luxury spa than a nail salon. The calming aromatherapy was such a thoughtful touch and made the entire appointment incredibly relaxing. The salon itself was spotless. Everything was impeccably clean, organized, and beautifully maintained, which immediately put me at ease. The staff were warm, professional, and paid great attention to every detail. My manicure and pedicure turned out beautifully, and the nail art was stunning! They took the time to create gorgeous designs that were even better than I had imagined. It's clear they take pride in their work and genuinely care about their customers. If you're looking for a place that combines exceptional service, a peaceful spa-like atmosphere, outstanding cleanliness, and truly beautiful nail designs, I can't recommend this salon enough. I left feeling pampered, refreshed, and absolutely in love with my nails!

Not sure where that place went They did take me at my appointment time both of these recent visits. These chairs are not comfortable- and are temperamental. My tech didn't know about the chair's operation I had a different tech both times- both were consistently quick and impersonal. I don't need a long conversation, but maybe tell me your name Neither of them painted the whole entire nail or covered the end/tip My feet feel rough and I would be hard pressed to convince someone I just had a pedicure. My time in the chair was 30 minutes- but my back/hip was killing me from the discomfort. I had to go home and ice my back/ hip and then do gentle stretches The girl next to me was told no on her polish color choice Plenty of parking
