    The technician ground my daughter's nail down so much in one place there's barely any nail left, and it really hurt.

    I took my daughter in to have her acrylic nails removed. They did a TERRIBLE job, leaving some of the acrylics attached, grinding almost all the way through my daughter's nail in other places...(yes, she is in pain!!!), and leaving her nails a jagged glue covered mess. The sign said $15 for acrylic removal, and they had the nerve to charge us $25 after destroying my daughter's nails and not even fully removing the acrylics.

    Been here for a couple pedicures now, and I can say from my most recent visit that they've done a great job with their health and safety protocols. They leave the doors wide open for air flow, hand sanitizer is waiting for you, and there is plexiglass dividing you and the technician and you and the other customers. I haven't seen this at all nail salons so it definitely sets them apart from the rest! I did a walk-in on my most recent visit (my first pedi in over a year!) and they were able to get me in within about 15mins. No complaints about the pedicure and they were a really pleasant team of ladies. That pedicure lasted me for quite awhile! $30 for a pedicure and they prefer cash. Definitely recommend!

    I walked in for a manipedi. The ladies warmly welcomed and gave me the best mani pedi that still lasts over a month (see photo). I've been getting mani pedis for years. These ladies did the best out of all the places I've tried. Not rushed, carefully took their time, listened and executed as I requested I told them that I wanted my nails to look natural, not thick. She took the time to carefully buff it down thin enough to look natural. I chose a spring yellow color, they recommended to color just the tips and I received lots of compliments on this style. Will definitely be back even though I have to drive about 1/2 hour to get there.

    Sarah is the truth! She shaped the hell out of my nails and made sure that I was pleased with everything every step of the way. Her attention to detail was amazing and you could tell that she is a perfectionist with her craft. There are only a few spots in this town that do dip powder and trust, this will be my spot from now on. I will definitely be back!

    Powder Dip

    Glamour Nails is the move, y'all. Powder Dip has been the move, if you aren't on this trend... try it out. Your nails will thank you! If you're interested in powder dip, ask for Sarah. She's MY GIRL. Sarah has been my nail tech since I first moved to the East Bay, 2 years ago. 10/10 recommend but plz be sure to call ahead to avoid a wait time.

    This is probably the worst nail shop to ever come to. A friend and I decided to come due to the mediocre reviews. We both got dipping powder on our natural nails and a pedicure. Two days later the dipping powder on both of our nails startted to crack. I've been getting dipping powder for over two years now and it has never cracked like this. I went back to get a five nails fixed and I was hopeful it wouldn't happen again. While I was getting my nails fixed another lady walked in with the same problem. Keep in mind, we both got our nails done the same day but different time frames. Moral to the story three people that same day came back to the nail shop to get their nails fixed. After getting my nails fixed, two days later four nails are cracked again. I am honestly disappointed with the quality and products they use here. It was $40 down the drain and I am in hopes they will give me my money back so that I can go to another place that does a better job

    Chipped nail on third day

    I loved the service but my gel manicure was not worth $40. My nails chipped on the THIRD day. It was very unfortunate.

    Absolutely in love with this nail salon, and absolutely heartbroken I found them after a year of living in Berkeley, when I will now be moving to Sacramento. It's so hard to find a good nail place, and I found the best one too late! I found them completely on accident and I was looking for anyone to do dip nail, and they do! I called and had an appointment a couple hours later with Sarah! She let me choose from several colors, and I asked for multiple things to be done and she did them all! Like to a T! I couldn't be happier with my nails!! I definitely recommend Sarah, and dip nails!!! I got the color "baby's breath" and I am honestly obsessed! I did a square rounded shape and kept some of my length! It was $40! They have the cutest nail design stickers as well that are 2 for $6! Super cute Louis Vuitton gold ones if you're into that! Sarah made sure to make sure I was comfortable and I love this place SO much and I hope i make it back before I move! even continued conversation with me! I also love the water bowl with the lemon slice and rose petals to soak your fingers in!

    This is where I get my pedicures and my gel extensions. My nail technician is Sarah. I have been going to her for 2 years, since i moved to Albany. She is very gentle and genuine and that's why i continue to come to her only: she takes her time with your service. I'm always satisfied. Here are my nails I got yesterday. Sarah is always flexible with schedule and she is definitely worth any price

    I have been for more than 4 nail salon's so far but this place ... this place is more than 5 star. I loveeeee this place, Sarah was very nice and welcome, she made sure my mom and I are comfortable. my mom did pedicure and manicure she loved it, and I did pedicure the one on this photo, she is so great on her job. Amazing service. I'll definitely be visiting again for my manicure. Thank you Sarah!!

    I loooooooved my nails. The nail artist named HANH is awesome. She's the best in the whole Bay Area. Highly recommended.

    I loooooooved my nails. The nail artist named HANH is awesome. She's the best in the whole Bay Area. Highly recommended.

    End result. I had to buy a nail file and file them myself

    They seem like nice people but the craft is not good here. I went in needing a fill on an acrylic set, my nails were long and almond shaped, the acrylic the lady used was lumpy and she did not seem to understand that I wanted my nails smooth, all the same shape and consistency. I gave her a chance to correct it a second time and it still looked terrible. This was supposed to be my Mother's Day weekend set of nails but they were ruined and I ended up leaving with my nails cut off because she refused to fix them. Just to think I came in with long nails which I intended to have filled and left with short nails because I felt I had no other option. When I asked her to make my nails short, she just chopped them off didn't try to shape or file them. I asked if my appointment was over and she said "yes, you go somewhere else". (Lol) I was never rude with these people I think she just knew she messed my nails up and wasn't going to be able to fix them to my expectations, so she chose to cut my nails off and send me on my way. When I asked for them to be cut as a last resort I would at least think she would try to make them look decent but she didn't give a care. They were just not caring or compassionate for the customer. It's Mother's Day weekend for crying out loud. I'll never go back there !!!

    You can still see some of the blood on my middle finger.

    My nails hurt even more and some have even developed a red rim around the edges. I never knew getting my nails done would be this painful. I would highly recommend others to not come here unless you want a painful nail experience.

    It's hard to write this review because I selfishly want to keep this place all to myself but they…read moredeserve all of the praise. I have been going to salons disappointed for years until Kim's. (See my other reviews for example) it might look like a regular nail salon, but the artistry is next level luxury. You might end up having favorites but every tech is incredibly skilled and cares about the details. The salon itself is quite simple, clean and brightly lit. My first time coming in I saw Jojo, then Hannah, then Cherry, all great work. Today I saw Lee who is also the manager and watching her work I was in awe. She was doing my builder gel mani while booking appointments, managing walk ins, checking out customers and answering calls texts, I don't know how she does it all without error but I can see why she's in charge. They are quite busy, so I recommend booking an appointment and coming during slower hours (it's never empty though!) sometimes I find myself waiting after walking in on a weekday afternoon or morning even because their customers always come back. No matter what they always find a way to get me in. They are very transparent with pricing, they will tell you how much everything is, add ons shape change etc. and it is good that they do this. This is not a cheap salon, they charge fairly for their quality of work. The employees seem happy.

    Very good option for quality mani/pedi and nail art, but wait times might be lengthy!…read more My regular nail tech was on vacation so made an appointment here. The attention to detail and quality/ clean look of the mani and pedi were great, massage chair was a plus too. But be prepared for lengthy wait times, even if you have an appointment. There is a sign saying wait times of up to 40 min and I happened to have the time so didn't mind, but bring a book or something to do while you wait. I was there from 4-8 pm for a mani and pedi with nail art. Not what I'd normally expect. However, the high number of techs makes it possible to do it all and also accommodate walk ins, which is very impressive and definitely nice since it feels like so many places are appointment only now. I'm satisfied with my nail art but I felt I didn't ask for the most intricate mani because I was scared of being there even longer, based on how long things were taking. Overall very good service, just more expensive and not as fast as my usual spot!

My mani and pedi got a regular one was $140 all together because I chose to have 2 nails painted at a 1 level decoration that was $15. Which was beyond overpriced. I lib had seen the nail example of a level 1 decoration I would have never gotten it. The level 1 decoration for 2 nails was just a touch of glitter on top. That was ridiculous. I would have never paid $15 for a level design 1 that I could have done so easily by myself, it's super problematic that they charged that much. Also the woman at the desk was a Kurt and not super friendly. The computer was having problems charging my card, so she had to manually put it in. And that was fine but she had asked me if I wanted to leave gratuity after I told her no, since I had never been to the place before, I wanted to know if it was worth a tip. She then asked me again to tip after I told her no. No one is entitled to a tip unless they've earned it. I had a problem with her but my manicurist and pedicurist people were very nice. My manicurist Nguyen does a really great massage. Highly recommend her. They were polite and wanted to do a good job. I liked them. I do wish around my nails was more cleaned up, but maybe it's just my super dry skin. I do like that they offer drinks, like peach Prosecco. That was great and helped me forget the ridiculous overpricing. I understand they give benefits to their staff but like $15 for a level 1 decoration for only 2 nails is laughable. For a stroke of glitter on top???? Or we serious right now??? I'd never come here again unless I have a boyfriend or partner who is willing to pay for it for me. I like the woman at the front desk there is annoying. I'd go somewhere else more affordable. Also important note is that they had NO DRYER for your nails. She had to bring over a mini fan that was useless. It already made a chip and bubble in my nails. Not worth it... come here if you have someone else pay for it, and to support the women working there who do your nails but I wouldn't come here to pay for it myself.

That said, expect to be "squeezed in," cause I had to wait about 30-40 mins after arriving to actually be seen. But, still appreciated them taking me. I came in for a gel manicure on my natural nails, but 1 finger was chipped. I asked if they could do a single extension, they recommended to use builder gel instead. At first, it looked fine, but after it cured, it was noticeably thick and not shaped very well. As a result this one fell off after a week. I also tried to point out that the shaping on my nails looked inconsistent from one finger to the next. The technician told me it was just because my finger widths are different & it's impossible to make them look the same. I understand that natural nails are harder to make uniform (compared to extensions), but I was disappointed with the lack of effort. The gel manicure itself was okay. I got a pink color with chrome powder, it lasted about two weeks. Overall, for around $50, I feel like you get what you pay for. It wasn't a terrible experience, but the attention to detail, especially with the shaping and the builder gel, was lacking. The service was friendly though, and you get a stamp card for every visit.
