    Holiday glitter nails after two weeks. Still lookin good!
    Jenny I.

    I did indeed go to a different salon, and then tried to come back here, and I sure wish I hadn't. I had a hard gel fill here on 3/29, and all was fine. I went in again for a hard gel fill on 4/19 and asked for a milky French, and was given what is in the photo. It was lumpy and uneven. Later that day, I noticed space on the side between the gel and my nail on my right pointer. I went back that same day, and the same tech repaired it- I asked her to remove the gel and redo it, and she did. The next day I noticed the same thing on the tip of my left pointer- my hair was getting stuck. I sent a message via Instagram and the owner offered to repair it that evening. She did so by just filing off my natural nail underneath she then did a color change since the original French was so bad, which I appreciated. Less than a week later, the nail she repaired broke off. Probably because the natural nail underneath was filed away, so it was just a shelf of hard gel. At that point I had spent 3+ hours at the salon across three different trips, and I was done. I wrote via Instagram and asked for a refund. In doing so, I checked what I had been charged, and noticed I was charged $83. The fill is listed as $60, and French tips as $15, so I was overcharged. (I tipped $15 separately, they asked me not to tip on the card). I repeatedly brought this up and the owner claimed it was for the repairs, and she does not offer refunds on completed services. How was I charged for repairs that you didn't know you were going to make? It doesn't make sense. It's obvious there was a mistake made. I appreciate them attempting to correct the poor initial work, but I don't appreciate being overcharged and then gaslit when I ask to make it right.

    Acrylic full set designs by wendy

    It's not a studio, it's a salon so it's not really personalized/private/calm. The service was good. I really didn't like the fact that I make an appointment with one professional for design and without asking me they changed the person. I was expecting to show them inspirational photos and have an original set and that didn't happen. Anyways, i like pretty much my set. Wendy did a great job with my nails She was pretty patient and kind, she listens and worked with me. I definitely gonna go back!!

    Cut by the nail file
    Kaela D.

    I got a combo mani/pedi with regular nail polish and left with a cut on my finger from the nail file and uneven/thick nail polish I felt like the file was burning me as I was getting them done but didn't realize there was an actual cut until I used hand sanitizer after the appointment. The staff was nice, but I'm not sure if I would come back to get my nails done using regular nail polish in fear of getting cut with a nail file or leaving with thick polish.

    Gel-X medium with 10 finger design
    Marcie A.

    I finally have a job where I can have my nails done 24/7! So I've been frequenting File + Style about once a month to get my nails done. File + Style has been consistent in their work! Whether it be a manicure, gel mani, apres gel-x, 10 finger design... its all been so great and exactly what I'm looking for and at a fair price. Lo Ann and Trinh have done amazing jobs on my nail designs. They can copy something you've seen online or envision something with you and create something unique. I cannot go anywhere else! New updates recently: they only take reservations from the Booksy app. The app is so easy to use to book your appointment(s). For those who don't like talking on the phone (not me, but maybe you), you don't need to call to make an appointment. These girls are BOOKED & BUSY so you have to schedule in advanced on the app. ESPECIALLY if you are doing something complicated I.e manicure with design. ALSO you have to schedule time if you already have a mani/pedi gel or something difficult to take off. Like I mentioned, BOOKED & BUSY... we all know how long to you need to soak to get gel off. Lo Ann tries her best to be accommodating to all customers but of course needs to follow the schedule so everyone can get what they need. We are all busy so try to schedule your appointment in advanced. Ps. Bring cash to tip!

    This is my go to nail spot in Oakland. LoAnn is so creative and does the most amazing nail art. She will work with me to come up with the perfect design. My pedicure from here also last so long. I'm a loyalist!

    Ariel R.

    Definitely the best! Lo-ann is amazing with her details, I love going to her and figuring out what challenge to do next! All these are done at File and style ! Great job

    How much for a dip manicure? Regular pedi?

    Dip is $45 pedicure is $25

    Do they do hot gel ? I had a gel manicure done, where they sculpted the gel on my nail with no fake nail, and cured it with UV light. I'm new to getting fancy nails done so I'm not sure if That's what it's called

    Yes we have hard gel sculpture nails.

    How much are acrylics and how much for nail art?

    Acrylic w/reg polish (38) Acrylic w/gel polish (48) Nail art varies depending on the intricacy of the design, starting at $5/per finger or two.

    Do they use nail forms or tips?

    We have both clear tips and form. Depending on what clients prefer.

    Do you use Japanese Gel manicure supplies for your gel manicures?

    There are so many Japanese brands on the market. Are you looking for something in particular? Our gel polishes last from 2-3 weeks.

    Has anyone got a hard gel manicure? Last time I was here they put acrylics on my nails when I asked for hard gel and now I see that they have it in their services, so I wonder about people's experiences.

    Hard gel should have no powder. It's literally a builder gel and then cured under LED or UV. I've went to another place that sculpts instead of using tips for extensions.

The salon is bright and inviting and the staff is incredible. I'm always greeted by Elliott's big smile and super charm. She is always so sweet and I love chatting with her in the waiting room. Shymell is an absolute doll and one hell of a waxer! I've been seeing Shymell since last October and every experience has been wonderful. Of course this isn't a painless experience, but Shymell makes the environment really comfortable and quick. Shymell is so fun and easy to talk to. It really feels like I'm chatting with an old friend during our sessions. She is clean, thorough and articulate. In the past, I've found that previous waxers have left quite a bit of hair from time to time. Nothing will ever be perfect and there will always been fine hairs left behind, but Shymell makes sure that there is virtually no hair left. I love that the salon carries many of the products that are used as well as other trinkets like greeting cards. You might be able to find cheaper prices elsewhere for the same services, but you won't find this kind of high quality service and care anywhere else. Ashley and her team have done a swell job with this waxing studio. I'm so grateful to have them around. Thank you for all that you do!

I don't have the time to get anything done for myself anymore this is the second manicure I've had in a year, the person doing it her name was Sunny couldn't have been any more rude . She was seemingly being exasperated as I asked question and seemed to want to rush wouldn't even have a conversation with myself seem absolutely annoyed,I was going to get a full gel service but her being rude and making me feel so uncomfortable I decided to just finish up with a manicure and leave , and that parts even a mess and for a manager she's inst a person whom takes care of a client needs . I won't be back it was only 30 for a mani but horrible experience and the nails still look terrible . She knew what she was being like once I made my decision to leave . Man this was my second mani and the last place was just as bad it's like fresh out of beauty school kinda feel , I am a hairdresser and I know from good service and good nails . Sunny wasn't a bright experience.

    I highly recommend Versailles Nail Spa and Waxing in Elmwood!…read more I have been going to Versailles for years and years. Stacey is welcoming, remembers your name and inquiries about your family and pets. The staff, (some of which have worked there for years) are friendly and warm. The vibe is upbeat and lively. The salon is very clean and well maintained. Prices are reasonable, and the quality is top-notch. Services are often finished off with a shoulder and neck massage, and warm towel for your hands. They take walk-ins but can get busy to due to how popular they are!
