The lady who answered the phone stated, "I don't have time right now" and I responded that I wasn't asking if they had time right now, I was just asking how much it was. She then proceeds to say, "We don't do that" and then hung up on me. What kind of nail salon offers gel manicures and pedicures but doesn't have a service to remove it? I will never be giving my business to this salon. From this phone call, I can only imagine how chaotically the staff operates and how rushed they might be while doing your nails. They just lost a local customer who would've come here regularly.

I was hopeful to try this salon as it had fairly decent reviews and photos looked good. I've been…read morelooking for a nail salon in Alameda since my previous salon is a bit too far. However my experience was less than ideal. I went in wanting dip as I was reading it was stronger and I've been struggling with lifting off builder gel. Multiple staff kept talking out of it and that their builder gel lasts a long time, uncomfortable but hopeful I said okay since Builder Gel is better for your nails in the long run. I got one color, builder gel on natural nails, and just a simple shape. Nothing too complicated I haven't gotten elsewhere before. I went home and thought it was fine for the money, $45 for builder gel + $8 tip. Probably wasn't going to return but also wasn't going to write a review. However, after 1 day my pointer finger nail chipped and started lifting and my middle finger also started lifting. I called and they said to come in and they would fix it. I went in and sat for 30 minutes until someone saw me -- had 3 different people come look my nails in the meantime but never start prep process, etc. After 30 minutes I was taken to a different station and she took maybe 15 minutes to "fix" the issue. Upon leaving and having a time to look better at my nails I still left unsatisfied. I chose not to go back a third time as I don't feel confident they will be able to actually do my nails well. I gave 2 stars as they did offer and attempt to fix my nails and didn't charge me for the "fix." I would be cautious going here as it seems your experience may vary...

He was a little rough and aggressive handling my hands and fingers but nothing painful. It seemed like he was the only doing nails in the shop so I felt like he was rushing. I liked the work he did on my fill. I get overlays on my real nails and he took care of them well with a solid foundation.

I accepted the offer of a redo, and they were able to see me quickly. 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. :)
