I just started doing gel x around a month ago and I think the ones I do look better than the ones I got done here. I was in town and lost 3 nails so I asked for the same design and just to get 3 done. They pushed the nails all the way to my cuticle making it very uncomfortable and didn't add a base coat or color for my French tips leaving them looking very messy. I was not pleased with the nails I got done here and will not be coming back. read more

It's always nice to see the ladies here at Galaxy Nail Spa! I've followed my Manicurist Hali for about 18yrs and this is her new home. The entire staff is very professional offering a wide variety of services and very clean/hygienic! Even tho I keep it simple with clear nails 90% of the time they are well versed in designs, colors, and offerings of Acrylic from dip, tap, gel and etc. If you pay in cash you receive a discount ...You won't be disappointed. Btw they are BART-ABLE too... just a 7 min walk from the Walnut Creek Station and located right next door to Starbucks! read more

Galaxy Nail Spa - Fresh fill with Hali - Nail Salons Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

The moment I stepped in, I was struck by the calming decor that instantly put me at ease. I was thrilled to find out they could accommodate me as a walk-in this on a Saturday morning. The spacious layout and abundance of spa chairs made sure I never felt cramped, a stark contrast to some past experiences. The staff, an ensemble of warm and friendly women, were absolute magicians with my nails. The pricing is reasonable considering the neighborhood, at $75 for a Gel manicure and regular pedicure. There is free 2 hour parking within the Mercer building garage. My gel manicure is still going strong after almost 2 weeks! read more

Galaxy Nail Spa - They completely transformed my nails. Lol they were in DESPERATE need of a manicure. - Nail Salons Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

This place used to be so good. High-end with great service. It's now an assembly line. Nail technicians constantly speak to each other very loudly in their native language while ignoring their clients. Not a relaxing experience at all. read more

I got French-tip acrylic nails. You can see where they wiped the excess nail polish off because they didn't clean it up properly. A drill was used to clean up my cuticles, which cut me. The paint job is horrible and crooked. read more

Do not come here. I gave them the benefit of the doubt for so long and kept giving them chances to make my nails the way I want them. But after going to a different place I realize how awful this place is. my nails have never been so weak and they do not file them or shape them the way I want it after telling them what I want. The prices are different every time and I get the same thing every time. they use the weakest nail tips because they break off so easily. Literally got a set done and 2 days later a nail broke. everyone I know that has gone to this salon has had a bad experience with one certain individual. read more

Be aware - They charge $10 for nail polish removal. This service always used to be free. No warning whatsoever either. Also, they must have switched their brand of nail polish - it chips after just a week. Very poor service and sub par pedicure. read more

Love it here- this is my go-to spot in Walnut Creek. Their gel pedicure always turns out great- and my last appointment I asked for a Hawaiian flower for our vacation, and I thought the artist did a great job. Nice massage chairs too. Highly recommend for a quality pedicure. read more

We called ahead and asked them if they had immediate availability for a foot massage, she said "yes, yes, yes, come, come, come" we were right around the corner (not even a 1min drive from the light) drove over, walked in, and she said they were very busy and needed to wait, my wife told the woman behind the counter, "that's why I called to ask, you could have just told me you were busy" then she just said "wait" Yeah, forget that! Not with that kinda attitude. All this could have been avoided through proper, clear and concise communication. Peace out! read more

I'm EXTREMELY picky and expect GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE if I am spending over $100. Wow. This place has been top tier for me. As soon as you walk in the door they are extremely friendly and kind. Everyone can converse in English with you. They have all the nice colors and everything is so clean and organized. I never had a bad experience here. I see now why Ayesha curry used to come here! read more

I have been coming to this nail spot for many years and not have had anything but good experiences. I always pick some fun ideas and they are always willing to humor me... but always a nice job and nice people! read more

Got a pedicure on 11/26 in the evening. The nail tech kept digging into the sides of my big toe and cut way too deep. My nails had already been chipped due to a trip to Japan a week prior. I now have swelling on my big toe and while I have mild ingrown I have not felt it sore like this before. It better not turn into an infection. This staff needs better training and to stop obsessing over a particular area and know when to leave it alone. She then worked on my other foot and was able to cut off a large piece of my cuticle and placed it on my foot then looked at me with a smirk like she was pleased however I was just weirded out. Don't go here. I just came to meet a friend and that's it. Weird, lack of training nail techs... read more

Service is inconsistent for the price I pay. I go about 4-5 times a year. Nail area is clean which is important.

The ladies were pretty nice. However I give a low rating because Got my nails done for Easter. Two of my nails popped off two hours after I got home. Two more within two days. Not sure if their applicator is old or whats going on but it most definitely wasn't worth a hundred dollars. read more

My go-to nail salon! Convenient parking in the garage and they are always accommodating even when I don't have an appointment. I never leave disappointed! read more

I've been here twice and my nails come out fabulous! The first time Vivian did my nails and the second time Hali did them. These ladies are wonderful and friendly. I feel very well taken care of when I am there... so much that I am falling asleep because it's my time to relax. Love this place. Best find. read more

I had a really great experience here. I booked on class pass for a gel manicure, came in and decided to get dip so it was just $10 extra. Tina was wonderful. Great attention to detail and I'm extremely happy with how my nails turned out! Super clean nail spa and I really liked the atmosphere. All the ladies are very nice and helpful. Will definitely be coming back here and I recommend this spot to you if you're looking for a clean, good looking manicure! read more

This place has gone down in quality and service. I paid for a deluxe pedicure and another customer came in and the nail tech said she needed to soak off someone's nails and it would be 5 minutes. 30 minutes later, I am running out of time and I had to skip the massage and paraffin wax. They still charged me for a deluxe pedicure. This place used to be relaxing and excellent and now it's sub par. Been getting my nails done for 25 years, this is definitely not a relaxing experience or worth the cost. I made an appointment and it made zero difference. Also, their polish selection is poor. I asked for OPI and they used DND which is for gel nails and the paint job was streaky. read more

Tracy is the best. Wherever Tracy goes, I go because she does a very good job. Book your appointment because this place be busy on the weekends! Great service as well. read more

BEWARE!!! DO NOT GO HERE!!! They have DANGEROUS contaminated tools!!! I took My Mom there to get a manicure and it became a nightmare!!! I had to take her to John Muir ER in Walnut Creek where she was diagnosed with Paronychia of her left thumb. They had to drain her thumb due to the infection that was giving her so much pain, then give her cephalexin antibiotics. To top it off she got nail fungus on her other nails. They should close businesses like this that put people's lives in danger!!! read more

Overall I really enjoyed getting my nails done (dip) here, and they turned out great! However, I will say the one thing that was a bummer is I had an appointment at 1:30, and around 1:45 I asked when I'd be able to get in at which point they shared another 10-15 minutes. Thankfully they got me started 5 minutes later, however it can be a bit frustrating when you have plans for the day and scheduled this ahead of time. All in all, I have them a 4/5, especially because the nails came out so well! read more

HORRIBLE experience. Made an appointment to take my friend for her birthday. Show up on time, and we wait for THIRTY minutes before they see us. What's the point of an appointment then? My nails lasted just a few days before chipping and my friend got a bacterial infection that she ended up on antibiotics for. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. read more

0 stars. 1 is given only so I could post. Highly do NOT recommend this place. The techs tried to PULL my acrylic off rather than using a drill and soaking to be gentle on the nail. I was in tears. So much that she once said, "I'll pull real quick so it won't hurt as bad." After that, the nails were painted, and I was told to sit at a table while they dried. No one ever spoke to me again until I got sick of waiting and got up to pay and leave. Worst nail salon I've ever been to. read more

Incredible service! Have been going here for almost 10 years and love it! Jennifer is my girl, but everyone is incredible!

So happy with my nails. The ladies there were very welcoming and I really liked how my nails looks They did a wonderful job! Will come here again. read more

I came here as a walk in. But it reminds me l should always check yelp first. They charged 90 dollars for a mani pedi with gel. I've never paid so much and I've been to much cleaner places. Staff was ok but they talked to each other the whole time. Not a good atmosphere. While l sat l thought oh well it will be cheap bc it's dirty in here cup holders are covered in sticky stuff and it's just run down and then she said 90 at check out. I couldn't believe it. I feel completely proves-gouged. Stay away! Upon further inspection they messed up my nail too! read more

Do not come here. Not only did the nail tech file my nails so thin they look like tooth picks but 3 nails were already lifting when I was sitting in the chair. When I asked her to fix them she simply put nail glue over the area and told me nothing was there. She then continued to file my nails so thin she rubbed the skin off of 4 fingers causing them to bleed and CONTINUED TO FILE OVER THE BLOOD. Here are two fingers that were cut by filing my skin over and over even after asking to stop AND 1 area where I clearly told her the nail was lifting and she said there was nothing there. Absolutely awful experience and will not be returning. read more

Okay, I have been to the best AND the worst of salons. This one consistently surprises me with their excellent, but reasonably priced mani/pedis. If you are looking for a regular mani/pedi place in the East Bay that can keep up with the current trends - Galaxy is your place. Doesn't hurt that they are right next to some amazing food spots either! Beyond convenient! read more

The best mani pedi I've had in a long time. Most places do very thick powder dip nails and this place made them look super natural. My pedi was also amazing. The lady did one toe first to see if I liked the color. When I said I wanted a lighter color she didn't get mad or make a comment to her coworkers. I'll definitely be back here, the pedi massage was also amazing. read more

God awful. Do not come here. She CUT my foot. Everything was fine, until she went to scrub my foot and cut it with the nail filer board. The board she used was rectangle and wasn't rounded at the edges. She was doing the downward motions and all of a sudden I felt this big sharpe pain. I looked down and not only was my foot just cut, a CHUNK of my foot was gone. So I know everyone makes mistakes but this is why I was mortified and left completely upset and will never return. She tried to stop the bleeding and really didn't want me to look at it. After minutes of compressing and trying to stop the bleeding her advice was for me to stick my foot back in the water where my feet were originally soaking. Mortified! Not only is that disgusting but highly not safe for me from a medical standpoint. I had an open wound that wouldn't stop bleeding and is subjecting me fo bacteria filled water. No one offered me any kind of peroxide or alcohol to help clean my foot. Instead they handed me two Band-Aids and said you'll probably need this. I will never be back. read more

I'm giving this 2 stars because my pedicure was alright. My dip manicure however was not worthy of it's time and cost. I only came back here because i had a gift card but after this disappointing manicure I'll never return. I was left waiting 20 minutes for my manicure to be finalized while my manicurist started on a different client. I get that you're busy, but finish the job before starting a new one. The pictures are after she "fixed it" so you may understand why I'm upset. We spent $200 here and this is what I'm left with?! No thank you! read more

I had a great walk in service here last month when I was visiting the area. It has a beautiful, clean, upscale interior, but very comfortable too. It was $30ish for a pedicure, reasonably priced. Right next to a Starbucks - also convenient! Would return. read more

I came here at little early for my appointment as requested. I was greeted and sat quickly. I made a reservation on my app called ClassPass. I got a gel manicure and pedicure. They have a great selection of colors. I picked red. Another lady name Kim came to do finish painting my manicure. She did such a great job. I loved how detail they are about the manicure and coat laying right. Another lady name Diane did my pedicure. I love their gel pedicures. They do such a good massage on your legs and use a bag I think she said it was wax but nice and warm. I loved it, felt relaxing. The place is clean and they are consistent with the customers little to no wait time. They even give massages while you are doing pedicure or manicure like neck arms area. Not quick ones either good one. They help each other out, one doing nails one doing feet it's like a constant go here. Quiet peaceful music. I will definitely return. Thanks again Kim and Diane. read more

I highly recommend Lisa! read more

OBSESSED with my nail design. I've been going to Galaxy nails for years and have always been pleased with the service, but today was extra special. My manicure included a dip, 1 tip (because one of my nails was shorter than all the others), and design. Gina did such a beautiful job shaping and paying attention to every detail. She was also very gentle which I appreciate. Thank you so much for giving me exactly what I wanted. :) read more
