    Nails by Valerie at daily glam Alameda, CA
    Adriana M.

    I have been going to Valerie for 3 years now and she is truly the best! She's always down to be creative and bounce off ideas or if I come to her with a exact inspo -- she does it all I must say, her line work is so good and her shaping is undefeated. I'm super particular about my nail shape and she truly nails it everytime My nails have remained healthy and she's taught me a lot about cuticle care which has only strengthen them. The salon is very cute, cozy and clean which I love. Their playlist is always fire which I appreciate and the vibes are always so welcoming. Overall I love going to daily glam and will continue, Val is truly my fave. I also love that making appointments is easy thru the vagaro app. All the love to daily glam

    Judging by the amount of photos I've attached... I'm never disappointed. In fact, I'm always leaving IN LOVE with my nails. Literally can't stop staring at 'em sometimes. They recently moved to a new location which is a lot more airy and bright, slightly further into Alameda. The group of women they got there is solid! My go-to girl is Dani, she's got a great hand at art and is all around a delight to chat with. She really ensures I feel pampered at the salon and I love her attention to detail. Also, great prices here, another plus for a gal on a budget! I recommend making an appointment on their Vagaro over walking in, they have great availability on the books.

    My girl Noelani hooks up my pedicure. If she is not available there are plenty of lovely women to hook you up. Today is my third visit and there will be many more.

    I've been coming to this nail salon for a very long time, and it is by far the best nail salon I've ever been to. They recently switched locations, and I honestly couldn't be happier. The new space has such a luxury feel while still being warm and welcoming. The salon chairs are extremely comfortable, and the overall vibe is very professional but cozy at the same time. I don't usually pay attention to restrooms, but I have to mention theirs because it's especially nice, it truly gives off a vacation like vibe. They even have body spray available, which I thought was such a thoughtful and classy touch. As for the nail services, they are absolutely amazing. You can get any design you want, no matter how intricate, and the technicians are always kind, patient, and genuinely happy to help bring your vision to life. My nails also last a very long time, which is something I really value when choosing a salon. This is not your typical nail salon. The service is high quality, elevated, and done with a modest, refined vibe. I can't recommend them enough. The sets below are gel x done by Valerie :)

    I absolutely LOVE this salon. Every tech (Valerie, Sophia, Salina and Dani) here is talented, detail-oriented, and always delivers--Gel-X sets are flawless with perfect shaping, and pedicures are clean, thorough, and relaxing. The salon stays spotless and the customer service is always top tier. Also, here are a few nail designs Valerie has slayed for me. Make your appointment now!

    ABSOLUTELY I RECOMMEND THIS NAIL SHOP.. From the moment I walked in I was greeted by a lovely nail tech with a beautiful smile. The energy and vibe was TOP TIER. I was served a glass of champagne which was right up my alley. It was a AMAZING vibe, laughs, and great convo with the nail tech next to me and her client. It felt like I was with my girls having a girls day. Now let me tell you about Mz. Valerie aka Val. She was so sweet and inviting. She made me feel so welcomed. When I tell you her hands are gifted. This was the BEST work I have gotten in years. Attention to detail, cleaning cuticles, shaping was ON POINT!!!! I am extremely satisfied with her and my nails are so PRETTY . These ladies know exactly what they are doing. Let me be the one to tell you to make a mad dash to Daily Glam Nails and ask for Val or set up an appointment. Trust me you will not be disappointed. Val thank you love for your beautiful work. It's up from here for you. Your future is bright

    Beautiful gel nails!  "fruit" Cat's Eye and Unicorn Chrome!

    Great service and awesome staff! Danielle did my nails and I would highly recommend her and the Salon in general.

    I've been going to Sophia for nearly two years now, and I can't recommend her enough! I get gel x and have a new set done each time, and her removal process is quick and involves little fuss - no wrapping my fingers in tin foil like many other places do. Sophia is incredibly skilled and truly passionate about her craft. What sets her apart is her patience and attention to detail - she won't move forward until I'm completely satisfied with the vision, and she'll happily do as many iterations as needed to get it just right, all without any pressure or frustration. She's also a true perfectionist who will catch and redo things before I even have to say anything, often fixing details that I would have eventually noticed but haven't even mentioned yet. That level of quality control is rare. One thing I really appreciate is how she respects my time. I've never had to wait past my appointment time, which shows how well she manages her schedule. She's never rushed, never makes me feel like I'm taking too long, and gives each client the attention they deserve. Beyond her technical skills, Sophia genuinely goes above and beyond for her clients. I've witnessed her interactions with other customers and her staff during my visits, and she treats everyone with the same care and professionalism. She recently moved into a new space, and it's absolutely lovely - clean, relaxing, and has such a chill vibe that makes the whole experience even better. Most importantly, her work is high quality and holds up beautifully until my next appointment. If you're looking for someone who combines excellent skill with outstanding customer service, Sophia is your person!

    I've been going to Valerie for a little over a year now and she's hands down my favorite nail tech I've had! She perfectly executes all the nail design ideas I have and even better, her gel x sets last up to 5-6 weeks on me. She's so friendly and easygoing, I'm truly so glad I found her. You won't be disappointed if you go to her, I never am!

    Sophia and Selena are my nail angels! I've lived in Alameda for a little over 2 years and haven't found my salon or technician yet. this has unfortunately led me to down a path to thin nails brittle nails a result of harsh chemicals and over filing/drilling. My last appointment was a week ago and as of this morning two tips had already come off because the beds could not support the tips. So after spending an hour on ChatGPT combing thru nail salons in Alameda and guiding me thru exactly what to ask for I was led to DailyGlam. When I called I was connected to the calm and kind Selena who answered my questions about their products, techniques and technicians. When I walked into my 1 o'clock appointment I was greeted by the technical, professional and very friendly Selena. Who explained the process to me as we went thru my entire appointment. She answered my questions and never made me feel embarrassed about the current state of my nail naturals. Instead I feel like I found my new technician and nail salon. Plus my nails look GREAT!! My first Gel X! Love them

    Nails

    I had a good experience. The nail tech was very detailed and my nails came out really nice. I love the soft pink with the gold hearts. I would recommend them.

    I love going to this salon! It is always so clean and welcoming. All of the nail artists are kind and professional. I have been getting my nails done by Dani the last few times and have been obsessed with the quality and attention to detail. She really goes above and beyond to make sure I get exactly what I want. I do think it's better to book an appointment in advance if you want more detailed nails but they do accept walk ins from my understanding. This is my new go to nail salon!

    Thin French tip with a touch of chrome! So perfect. Thanks Paulina!
    Dana S.

    Service - 5/5 Ambiance - 4/5 This is my new nail shop. Paulina did an amazing job. I showed her my inspo pics and she nailed it! It was a neutral chrome polish with a thin French tip and it's so neat and perfect! She also gave me the best pedi! My toes desperately needed a fix and she has me looking brand new

    Absolutely love this place! Dani was amazing!

    Do you offer structured gel manicures?

    Yes

    Hi. Your salon was listed on the Kokoist site. Do you use their Nail Thoughts or other builder gel or just their gel polish? Hoping to find a salon for structured gel manicures. Thanks

    We use their builder gels, manicure gels. We list it as Japanese gel structures manicure

    Hi. The location listed on the yelp listing is in Alameda but when I click to go to the website, the appointments are all listed for Castro Valley? Where is actual business location to receive service?

    Alameda, we moved from Castro Valley I will try and figure it out. You can book directly from Yelp.

Now that I know what to expect with a Russian mani I was less surprised and able to appreciate the precision and skill needed for this type of service (though will caution anyone who's never gotten one before that it can be a bit uncomfortable; I recommend you look this up before trying it). My nail tech today also did a lovely job with the nail design. She was very skilled and meticulous with her work (grooming, polish and design) so I expect this set will last longer than my last. If you're getting a Russian mani, take note that you can expect it to take nearly 2 hours, so feed the parking meter accordingly. Overall, I am happy with my experience and will be back. :)

It's been a decade since my last visit, but their exceptional customer service remains as impressive as ever. I recently visited on a Friday evening, hoping to schedule an appointment for the following day. To my delight, they offered me the option to get my full set of gel nails immediately. Lani, the talented nail technician, took her time and ensured that my manicure turned out beautifully. Despite the rush, she maintained her patience and attention to detail, resulting in a flawless finish.

    Lily, GIRLLL.....you KILLED it!…read more Okay, I was a bit hesitant at first because I have been EVERYWHERE trying to find someone who can nail (pun intended) my Pinterest board and let me tell you, no one has been able to do it like Lily. I literally sat there watching her amazed by her talent and how she was able to get my design so spot on. Like, FINALLYYYY. Now for the salon itself- I came in at 2pm on a Friday and it wasn't too busy, but it definitely started picking up around 2:30ish. I did notice Lily had another appointment who walked in and was booked for 2:40pm when we were still probably another 30 minutes out from being done, so it looks like they overlap her appointments a bit. I think they need to be careful with that because personally, if I have an appointment, I expect to be seen at my appointment time or wait no more than 5- 10 minutes. We all have places to be, right?? Especially when you're booking with someone because you specifically want THAT person. Nails at Southshore is definitely on the smaller side. There aren't a ton of pedicure chairs, I'd say six total and there's not really a waiting area besides literally two folding chairs lol, so that's one thing I think they could improve. BUT, they do seem pretty efficient at getting people in and out. Also, this next part is absolutely NOT their fault but South Shore management really said, "You know what would be perfect right outside a nail salon? A children's playground." So either come with AirPods or be prepared to hear kids screaming while you're getting your nails done because Lily's station is literally right at the front door. I was fighting for my life LOL. Anywaysssss, back to Lily- She's super sweet, VERY talented, took her time and care with my design and absolutely nailed what I wanted. Basically, she's my new nail girl now. I'm locked in. (Photo is 4 weeks out as I failed to take a photo after getting them done. Still looks amazing!)

Things I hate about them -- there's a very good chance the nail tech will hurt me. Well... love/hate changed to LOVE when I started seeing Tanya at The Nail Hub. She's the first nail tech who not only noticed the places where the skin on my toes grows closer and higher up on the nail bed, but made me feel like that was a normal thing that a good nail tech would notice! No more wondering if my experience would be blissful, or if someone would cut me! Enough about my trust issues. The Nail Hub is located inside of IMAGE Studios, in the same mall as the Alameda Target, though not TOO close to Target so it's fairly easy to find parking. It's basically an office building for salon service providers. It can be confusing to find their suite their first time, but after you've found it once, you'll get it. It's a cozy space with two stations each for pedicures and manicures, but has everything you need: individual plastic-lined tubs for pedicures (no questionable massage-chair-tub-combos), tools that ACTUALLY remove my foot calluses, hot towels, and a great selection of colors in both regular and gel (Bio Sculpture as well as others). Tanya also has her own collection of fun polishes, and has done some nail art for me -- stickers, glitter, ombre, magnetic cat eye! I can't wait to work with her more. Also, 5 stars alone for her excellent hand and foot massages. I have friends who have visited Tanya as well as other nail techs at Nail Hub, and they also have given me rave reviews. I always look forward to returning there, and I hope you will too.
