Omg, I'm never one to complain about a place but sorry I have to say something. This place is SO dirty. I'm an esthetician and I know what a salon is supposed to look like. Getting my pedicure was tough. Should have walked out while I was waiting to be seen. Looking around took notice of the following- Waxing services- double dipping. You've got to be kidding me! Worker drops waxing stick on dirty floor and puts it right back with sticks. Gross! My pedicure- paraffin wax was so HOT thought I was going to walk out with burns. I had to take my feet out of plastic bags and they were red! I didn't sit there to let my toes dry I just wanted to leave. Eyelash extensions- read the brochures and you will not want to get them done. Spelling errors all through out brochure. You guys might want to redo them. I wouldn't dare let them close to my eyes! Overall shop- disgusting. Implements are not in soiled containers so who knows if they have been cleaned or not. Floor looks like it hasn't been cleaned EVER! I am so anal when it comes to cleanliness! Carts are gross and dirty. I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

This nail spa is right by our house so I was really looking forward to a salon we could walk to. I made appointments for two pedicures and specifically asked three times for them to start at the same time. Not a big deal, but my boyfriends appointment started 10 minutes before mine. He loved his first pedicure! I on the other hand was very disappointed. Even though his pedicure started 10 minutes before mine, we ended at the same time! My massage was worthless and the paraffin wax treatment was still very wet/melted when she removed the bag. No point of even putting it on in the first place. It was obvious she was trying to rush me out the door. I'm glad my boyfriend had a good first experience, but we won't be coming back to her! read more

By the looks at my track record on nail salons, I may seem to come off as a "nail nazi." But I'm telling you, I'm really not that hard to please. My girlfriend and I came to Diva because it was walking distance from her new place. I mean, some hole in the wall places are the best treasures, right? First off, the place is grimy. I held my handbag on my lap the whole time due to the fact that there seems to be some kind of potential contamination on the floor. All we wanted was a decent pedicure and Shellac manicure. After TWO hours, 2 attempts at shellac, and a piercing headache I paid $45 for the service and started to get my belongings together when I noticed the shellac was completely lifted.... I showed them, and they told me they would redo it. Now having wasted 2.5 hours of my saturday, I told them to take it off and refund me because I wouldn't be staying another 2 hours. They told me they would only partially refund me for the shellac (aka charge me for a regular manicure). I told them if I was going to pay for a manicure, I would get one. So they threw a coat of regular polish on, and we stumbled dumbfounded back into reality. Let's review: 3 hours of my precious life was wasted. I paid for a service I did not receive. What I did receive was irreversible emotional damage and a moment of time in what seemed to be an alternate universe. NEVER AGAIN read more

I went here with an appointment for 2 people, for my friend and I. We waited for 20 minutes before we even had our feet in water and by the time we were done - WITH JUST PEDICURES - we were there for over an hour and a half. We literally had just one nail technician between the two of us. Lame. And I just love how the woman-with-the-mean-botoxed-face, talk-down-to-the-nail-lady patron had 2 people working on her AFTER said patron belittled the poor gal working on her nails. If my friend and I were disrespectful to the people who worked here would we get better service? That kind of crap pisses me off. I could tell they realized we were annoyed at how long our services took so they offered us champagne while our toes dried...so I gave them back a star for the effort, because it would have just been 1 star. I appreciate the sentiment, but if I have an appointment, it shouldn't take an hour and a half to do one pedicure. Sorry Diva, I've been to you a few times in the past, but I don't plan on going back. read more

After realizing that my go to salon was closed for the new year, I HAD to find somewhere to take my mom for a birthday mani-pedi. I can't help that her birthday is on New Years Day!! I checked yelp for places with good reviews and starting calling around. Diva was open, and I was able to make us an appointment. Diva is located on Mt. Diablo Blvd with side lot parking. We came in, and were immediately told we could choose our color. The wall next to the entrance is filled with nail polish bottles. The good- Everything the nail techs used was new: the foot spa is one use only, comes wrapped in plastic. All of the nail tools were also opened in front of me. They keep their lotion in a warmer for the massage portion, that was nice on a cold day such as today. They also gave us complimentary paraffin waxes since it was our first visit ($10 value). Mani-Pedi combo was $30. Lemon slices in the foot bath were an excellent touch. The mediocre: Towels used were not heated. Not sure if warm towels is an industry standard or if I'm just spoiled where I normally go. Also, they don't have normal nail dryers, they used mini space heaters... Hmm. All in all, I'd probably come back if my normal spot was closed. They had very friendly service and I think my mom really enjoyed her birthday gift. However she also agreed that it was 3 star service. read more

The service varies. After the first visit they start giving you poor pedicures. The manager appears irritated most of the time. The nail paint is old and sticky, so it gets coagulated and doesn't dry off. If you complain about the old, dried and sticky nail paint they try to sell you "organic" nail paint that costs 3$ more!!! And whatever happened to the heel scrub that used to be in a regular pedicure? now you have to give additional 6$ for a callus removal! Decided not to go there any more. read more

I go to Diva for a mani/pedi as often as I can afford to. The staff are very friendly, and they remember their repeat customers. I went last week after a two-month absence, and immediately Gina complimented me on my new haircut and asked how my dad was doing. That kind of rapport really does a lot for me. I also like the casual atmosphere and - in my experience - the efficient treatment of walk-in clients like myself. Now, onto the service itself. I like that they use fresh lemon wedges in the pedi water instead of chemicals. It's very refreshing. I have two words for you: luxury pedicure. Do yourself a favor and commit the extra $$. You'll get everything you typically expect from a pedicure as well as a professional callous treatment / softening procedure and a relaxing, rejuvenating melted wax treatment. The massage chairs are easy to use and full-featured. During idle time (polish drying, wax treatment) you can elevate your feet and enjoy a calf massage in addition to the back. Try not to be in a hurry if you're going for the luxury pedicure. I'm usually in the chair for a full hour or more, and I don't get polish. read more

Officially my favorite spot for facials, pedicures and manicures! Love this spot because they truly take pride in their craft and always provide excellent customer service! This is the only place I will go to now to get my nails done... consistent good service... I'm a happy loyal customer now! read more

Great mani/pedi in Walnut Creek! I love that they do the paraffin wax as a complementary service. The ladies there are really sweet and their massage chairs are to die for. Parking is by the side of the salon or in front on the street. I usually call 20-30 minutes before I want to go and have always been able to get an appointment. read more

So far, this is my go to place, even though I've only been here once. It's walking distance to my house, $30 for mani/pedi which is good to me because I'm used to Financial District prices, paraffin wax is included in the pedi, and friendly staff. I went there on a Saturday morning at 10:15 with no appointment, thinking no one would be there. There was a mom and daughter there getting pedis. BTW the daughter was 8 years old, does anyone else think that is odd? Then again, I don't have a daughter but I digress. I had to wait about 15 minutes since there were only two gals working. They did a good job on my mani and pedi. My favorite part was the paraffin wax because I never get that and didn't even know that it was part of the pedi. The foot soak would've been better if the water was hotter but at least it's a basin that gets dumped out. The chair was pretty awesome too, it massages your calves! Usually the chairs they have at most nail salons shiatsu the shit out of your lower back to the point where you feel like you're being tortured or maybe I don't know how to operate the remote. One of my issues was the end when you dry your nails. Once my mani was done, they pulled out a fan and placed it on the arm rest for my hands. The fan was hella dusty and when the technician turned it on, all these dust bunnies came flying towards me. That was gross. Other than that, I'll probably go back because it's close to where I live and I like having my feet submerged in wax and then tied in plastic bags. read more

I like this place, but I am only giving 3 stars because the service is inconsistent. I've had a mani/pedi here several times. What I like: I like that they use clean tools/tub liners for each person. I like the selection of colors, they have a lot of colors and all of my OPI favorites. The ladies are friendly, I've never had to wait very long and the massage chairs are nice. The main/pedi is $30 which is a good price - you can get this special callous remover treatment for extra $$$ that really gets the dead skin off your feet. What I don't like: The last time I got a mani/pedi they totally did a rush job. She hardly rubbed the dry skin with the pumice stone at all - I'm talking, basically just swiped it back and forth, once. Then she massaged in the lotion for about 30 seconds, if that. It wasn't even a massage, basically just put some lotion on my hands/feet. If you pay extra and get that callous remover treatment, they take a lot more time, but sometimes my feet don't need that. My mani/pedi took less than 30 minutes - I just felt rushed through, like I didn't get my money's worth. So, I'll probably be back and hope I don't get rushed through again. But, who knows, maybe I'll find another salon that does a better job that has all the things I like. Still searching for the perfect place! read more

They were not nice and she cut my really long nails way too short when I asked her several times not to. They were too busy talking to each other in another language to listen to me. Expensive for the service I got. Also they kept turning my massage chair off when I wanted it on. Will not be going back there since they cut my nails short like a boy. So sad Rip beautiful nails. I loved you while they were there. 75 dollars to destroy my toes and nails lol. Changed to one star because they are just way too short and even hurt. My nails were so long. I am so pissed. read more

Diva Nails & Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

Reminds me of a nail salon I used to go to in SF. Very basic, no frills, but get the job done type place. Prices are decent, better than a lot of the other salons in WC. I can usually just walk in and get my brows done without an appointment. This is my go to for lip and eyebrow waxing, definitely work a try! Oh fyi, I love that they have a buy 10 waxes and get one free card, that's stellar! Pedicures are also and I love the hot wax! read more

Reasonable prices for a manicure/pedicure combo ($30) and eyebrow wax ($10). The ladies are all very friendly and accommodating. They also do a solid job, so I was happy with the end result. My eyebrows and nails looked great! It's a bit of a tight space, so probably not the best salon if you like to spread out and tune out other patrons who love to be a chatterbox. I noticed the staff would run into each other with their equipment and have to be mindful of not tripping over each other. The pedicure chairs don't have built-in foot spas, so you may have to raise your foot at uncomfortable angles, which may take away from the full relaxation experience. I'd come back here because of the reasonable prices, but I'd prefer a more spacious venue with built-in foot spas. read more

Amazing foot massages! I have been going to Diva for years and years. They offer very affordable pricing and are especially good at doing the callus removal pedicures. I am always treated well here and find the women who work here to be friendly and kind. I don't enjoy that when it comes time for my gel polish to come off they soak my fingers in a bowl of acetone followed by the polish being scrapped of my nails. This is not the correct way to remove gel polish, but it is how it is done in most nail salons because of the convenience. I agree with a previous poster - this place is also quite dirty, they need to shut the salon down for a day and scrub this place from head to toe. The nail instruments are always clean though. Despite all this, when I want a quick pedicure or manicure, I will return to Diva Nails. read more

Gina is the best for eyelashes. Not too mention affordable. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Everything else just doesn't matter.... read more

This place is not the nicest in town but you get your money's worth. They have really good massage chairs and the lady's there are really friendly. I lie their pedicures. There massage is amazing. Plus they put your feet in this hot paraffin wax that is really hot yet feels good at the same time. They do a really good job on gel manicures. Give this place a try before you dis it. read more

Not too excited about the salon. Felt dated & cluttered. Most concerning was a customer who was allowed to wear mask not covering nose. Also, a little pricey for what I've paid for much nicer salons. Staff was pleasant & the work was well done. read more

Great place for waxing! Nails...they're ok but I probably wouldn't get them done there again. But I will be back for the waxing for sure!

The best. Lovely women, great pedicure, love the hot wax on my toes! They always seem to be able to squeeze me in and are really friendly.

- Eyelash extensions... AMAZING. Gina rocks. Price is right, she's clean / sanitary. - Pedicure... excellent. I would even suggest the "baby feet" pedicure. Yes, it's a bit more, but it's amazing. - Manicure.... great, I get shellac - and love them - Ambiance... wonderful. - Staff.... Can not be beat. They're so lovely and remember their clients. Such a great vibe. Definitely love them! My go-to spot in the Creek! read more

No bueno. The staff was nice but my toes are messed up because they put some oil on them to supposedly dry them. My girlfriend's gel mani has a chunk missing from it. Truly a waste of money and we have a wedding to attend. read more

I love this spa. Gina is incredible with eyelash extensions, they last way longer than other places I had been going to before finding her! I get the full works, waxing and nails (sometimes all at once which saves time in my busy work week/working mom...) Also the price point is very reasonable. 5 * and a loyal customer. read more

I've been to my share of nail salons this one is by far thee worst. I came in to get a simple nail fix and ended up spending nearly an HOUR there even though they saw me right away. The nail tech that saw me was rough and rude! She did my nail fast so it was sloppy and rushed me out the door after I paid. $6 for a fix by the way!!!???? I've never paid more than $3. As soon as I got in my car my paint smudged! I went back in to have them fix it they pretended to be too busy to see me. A few minutes later I was seated and she did it correctly but didn't do a good job. Wish I could give negative stars. read more

I've been here three times now and The first time I went it was great they took a long time on my pedi and really Took their time and got into the cuticles and were friendly. The second time was OK just a quick Mani pedi. The gal who did my mani didn't do a great job I still left with a lot of uneven nails and cuticles after asking several times if she could fix them. The third time was not good for the Mani or the pedi, it seemed as though they didn't want to take too much time because it wasn't fake nails or gel nails it was just a quick Mani Pedi so they rushed through it and the nail polish on my toes is very light and she didn't do another coat so you could still see my nailbed through the polish. And again my mani wasn't great. It's too bad it's so convenient, walking distance from my home so I may be back if I'm rushing through. read more

I drive from Oakland to get my mani /pedi here. I am always pleased with the attention to detail. The cuticle care is on point and the prices are reasonable. I really enjoy how I feel like I'm getting a service of love rather than feeling like I'm getting a service from a robot. The pedicures are not in a tub you drain, they are in individual foot buckets that are cleaned and sanitized between clients. Every pedi comes with a paraffin wax which I also love. read more

Excellent staff but Kathleen is superb. I always ask for her and am never disappointed

This place is awesome. I went here after getting my hair cut across the street by the best hair stylist in the world, John Mok at Di Pietro Todd. This is awesome; I got a paraffin treatment and a mani/pedi for $30 and they even gave me champagne. They are also super nice. It isn't the best mani/pedi I've ever had but it's really clean and they painted the polish really thick so I think it will stay on for awhile. They also gave me a $5 off coupon for next time for Christmas. read more

oh my goodness! im so glad that this place is here! ;) it's a small time joint off Mt. Diablo, I was greeted quickly & they put my feet in the warm - lemon water. I also got a massage, and then my feet were soaked with warm wax. They took their time and were friendly. I asked them for a flower design and they gladly helped. I even got a glass of champagne while i was getting my nails done , it was super great. CHECK THIS PLACE OUT. read more

My first visit here & will return. Employees are very attentive & thorough with both pedicure & manicure. They did an excellent job with my cuticles & cleaned around each toenail also very thoroughly. After soaking my Feet they put a wax coating on them, using a plastic bag, very nice & feet felt very soft. Applied polish & top coat feet & hands look lovely. read more

Not satisfied. I had an appointment today for a pedicure. Everything seemed okay until the lady stopped my pedicure and started working on someone else's nails. She left me there waiting for over 20 minutes. Finally she came back and finished the job. Sorry, but I don't want to waste time at a nail salon on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. I like to get in and get out, and be on my way. Most nail salons work on one client at a time and give their undivided attention. I found this really irritating since I made an appointment. Its not like they didn't know I was coming in. read more

Me and my best girlfriend went to Diva Nails on Mother's Day for manicures and pedicures. From the moment we walked in we were treated like queens. The manicures and pedicures were excellently done and cost only $30 for both NOT EACH! What a deal!!! Once you sit down in those amazing chairs you don't have to move until you leave. They bring everything to you including champagne. I even tried the skin tag removal with the Super Frecator electro needle machine and I am so amazed at the results. It took about 5 days for the mole to fall off but now you can't even tell I had a mole on my face. I'll definitely be back to Diva Nails. All the ladies there were such a pleasure. read more

Today was the first time I've received service from Diva Nails & Spa. I am very pleased with their service, prices and friendliness! I will be back soon ladies! read more

I've been coming here for two years and I'm always satisfied w/the service. Ruby always makes sure to make my nails look flawless . So grateful for her ! read more

Diva Nails & Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

Great service, excellent cuticle cutters!! Their waxing services are great too. We are accommodating and they get you in a chair quickly.

Let me start with everything positive I can think of. The girls here seem sweet. When trying to choose a nail color, one of them painted the ones I was looking at on her own nails, so I could see the color. That was helpful! This is not an expensive place. $14 for a manicure seemed reasonable to me. They are also open late, which makes it nice for those of us who cannot get in during the day. As I approached the table, I saw a truly dirty towel there, which she expected me to put my arms and hands on. It looked like many clients had been there before me, with dirt, spots, nail clippings, nail color, etc. I waited for her to get a clean one, and she motioned for me to put my hands down on it. (Not a lot of English ability--motioning is the m.o.) I took my edge and turned it up, so I was on the under-side of the towel, which appeared a little cleaner. I was asked to put my hand not being worked on in a bowl of water with lemons in it which also appeared to have been used through the day. I decided I would have to go along with things here, and go home and take a shower and wash thoroughly. I suppose this is a mistake that can be easily made, but one of my cuticles developed a sore/infection after being clipped too close and cut. A few days of hot soaking at home and ointment have helped that problem. It was a freezing night, and after my polish was applied, she turned a cold air fan toward me to dry my nails. Brrrrr. After a few minutes, I said, "This would feel really good on a hot summer day, but it's pretty cold on a night like this." I got a smile, and the cold air continued. After I told them again it was too cold, they got a warm air/heater fan thing and turned on me. I wondered why that wasn't brought out at first. Someone checked my nails and thought they were dry, but I said, "They are still sticky." So they put me under the lights to dry them further. They checked me and said they are really dry and you are good to go. I got in my car and drove home. As I turned on the lights inside and looked at my nails, 4 of them on my right hand were messed up. The third finger looked wrinkled, like someone had pushed it on one side, to make bunched up waves. Three more fingers were dinged significantly. I was exasperated, but had no time in the next few days to do anything about it. 2 days after my nails were done, I was on the phone and looked down at my right hand to see that three nails had lost 1/2 to 3/4 of their polish: entirely. It was as if someone had come and taken a chisel and chipped 1/2-3/4 of it off. Cleanly chipped and broken off! I had done nothing unusual: desk work, showers, meetings..nothing that would have bothered my nails at all. I guess they must have applied the color too thickly, or...something. I thought of going down to Diva and complaining, but I didn't have the time. Needless to say, I will not be returning. I'm sorry, because they are located close to me, and have the right price and hours. I was really wanting this place to work out for me. read more

I love this place. The girls are so friendly, it's a happy environment and they always do a great job on my manis, pedis and waxing. Love!!! read more

What a sweet little nail place. The owner is so lovely. Great pedis and manis. Definitely worth a trip!

The one star is because three of my gel acrylics broke 4 days after I got them and the attitude from the employees. I came back to get the broken nails fixed and picked up on attitude by the ladies working there (also no apology for the breakage). When you pay $30 for nails, you should get more than 4 days of wear out of them. Also, when a salon employee looks at you and says something in their language to another employee and they both laugh, this is rude and unprofessional. Olympic nails, just down the road, may lack great customer service at times, but their acrylics don't break off. I will be patronizing Olympic next time and I'd advise anyone else to do the same. read more

I have gone here many times to get waxed. I specifically go to get a brazilian. Gina is the best I have found in the Bay Area. She is very good. I rarely get any ingrown hairs after she waxes me. She always takes extra time to make sure the wax is up to my standard. I only see her now for my brazilians. I now see her for massages. She has a great touch and I always feel great when i leave. Everyone is so nice and very polite. They always offer me something to drink. read more
