I love coming to Grand Nails, it's my new local shop since I moved to the grand lake area in May. My go-to is the deluxe gel pedicure and the dip mani. Great service and quality for a great price. read more

Grand Nails - Great dip mani for a great price! These are my real nails! - Nail Salons Near Me - Oakland, California

This is by far the best powder manicure I have ever had. All of the staff is incredibly meticulous, pays attention to every detail and takes time to make sure it's perfect, every time! I've been shopping around for a nail salon for a few months but I think I found it!! The staff is super kind and will be patient with you to help you find the perfect color and shape. I felt comfortable and pampered from the moment I walked in the door! read more

You know, I'm happy to have accidentally booked here because I discovered they are way better than the usual suspects on Grand. I love their space, the vintage music concerts they have on the screens, I have seen Whitney Houston, Prince, and Elvis. The techs are talented, take their time, everyone is courteous and kind. YOU WON'T REGRET IT. read more

Of course, the Bay does nails the best! Grand nails isn't any different. Friendly staff that speaks very good English, also they do dipped nails! Four stars instead of five cuz sometimes I feel a little too rushed. read more

I used to love going to this salon, but five years ago I moved out of town. I was back for a visit and needed a mani pedi and went back. The decor still is a bit odd, vintage versus chic and modern, and the staff is new. They're even better than the previous staff, with more organization and more attention to detail. read more

My first time coming here. The staff was friendly, and price was reasonable for a mani pedi. The best part... leaving the place, hours later no nicks or dents on my nails or toes. This for me determines whether I will Come back or not and I will be back! read more

service was good. customer service was good. the problem is that is was too pricey. $26 for a manicure without polish or anything. Thats pretty expensive considering i could have got the same for cheaper as well theres no price menu posted anywhere. read more

I love going here!! I get the gel dip powder and it is amazing! I've never had an issue with them. My nails last so long and look just as shiny by the time I go back to get them redone. I've had them done by Mary and Jenny and they are both great! Last time I got ombré which Jenny did with the dip. They look amazing! I've also gotten pedicures and my eyebrows waxed there and those services are great as well. I would book an appointment if you want the dip because they are pretty busy. But they do take walk ins as well. I'm known to be very picky with my nails and I'm so glad I found them!!! read more

I had no appointment but Amy greeted me and I was immediately settled to soak for an overdue pedicure. Amy said It would take 40-45 minutes; she worked carefully on my tender toenails and efficiently sanded away my calluses. Grand Nails accepts credit cards, charged only $30 for my basic Pedi, and had me don and dry in 40 minutes. I'm really happy with my new nail salon on Grand Ave. read more

Great mani pedi and everyone here was very courteous and friendly, which made me feel very comfortable. They listened to what I asked for and checked to see I was happy. Glad I came here - will return read more

This place is where I often go because it's never crowded, has a high ceiling and feels Covid safe. That said, their nail polishes are old, the staff is hit or miss (sometime good, one time someone actually hurt my nail by digging so deep). I wish they would invest in new polishes and care more. If they did, this place could be great. read more

There are so many nail salons on Grand it's hard to pick one. This place happened to have availability and was not disappointed. They take their time with your nails, are very kind and it's only $40 for a mani/pedi. I'll definitely be going back. read more

On a street with a nail salon every block, Grand Nails is THE nail salon of Grand Avenue. They are fully deserving of their territory-claiming name. I have been here twice for pedicures. The foot baths are warm, the massage is good, and the scrubbing is transformative. The main advantage that this salon has over every other is the hand held callous chainsaw. This whirring disk will blast away your dead skin and smooth out all the edges in a matter of seconds. I also enjoy the raunchy conversations I've overheard among the clientele that comes here, but I can't divulge any details: beauty code states that what is said in nail salons stays secret. Still, good to know that the ladies are having fun and keepin' it classy with those pretty nails. read more

Why is it every time I am not in the NYC area I get an amazing manicure that lasts more than 4 days? I swear the nail people in the NYC area have a secret scheme involving watered down nail polish resulting in easily chipped nails that lack awesomeness. Enter Grand Nails. $23 for a mani-pedi. No matter what day. No jacking up these prices on Saturday and Sunday. They give you a quality nail job for $23 every day. Color selection not the best. The chairs aren't the best but the ladies and gentlemen who do your nails - awesome. They give you an amazing 5 minute leg massage. They are extremely nice and polite. My fingers and toes look great. My finger nails have thick coats of polish that seem like they will never chip. I can't not admire them. They look great. I'm in manicure heaven. Did I mention the 3 minute shoulder massage they include? AND, they let you walk out with those little flimsy styrofoam flip flops so you don't have to put on your boots and potentially ruin those lovely little toes. I swear, I'm onto you nail salons in NYC - I may only get my nails did now when I"m out of state at quality establishments like Grand Nails. read more

The service was amazing! Everyone was so nice and welcoming. It was my first time there and it was honestly a great experience. I definitely recommend this nail salon! read more

I came here this weekend for a Gel set, a pedicure and ended up also getting a lip and brow wax. Jenny, the waxing lady was so nice and did a perfect job. Carol and Vicki did my gel set and I have to say, it is the best looking manicure/gel I have ever gotten, ever. Vicki is the master free-hand artist when it comes to french tip. I feel horrible, but there was another young lady that did my pedicure who's name I did not catch. The selections of nail polishs' are great and the women working there are the best. I will be back, because of the genuine customer service, and the fact that all of them remembered my name from the second I stepped foot in there, to the second I left. I gave them 5 stars because there was nothing they did wrong to take even a half a star away. GO GRAND NAILS! Can't wait to come back ladies! read more

Ditto to the review below. Absolutely best part of my day. I'm a teacher visiting from Phoenix AZ and I rarely pamper myself. This was such a treat. Abd affordable too!! I really enjoyed talking to Kevin. He is very nice and friendly. Anna did a fabulous job designing my nails. I wanted something Fancy- IGgy Azalea ish... They had a great selection of colors and were very friendly. There was a mother and daughter there, getting a mani pedi and they even carried the little girl to the drying machine-it was too cute!! I Love grand nails! I will definitely come here everytime I visit Oakland. Mary Love from Arizona. read more

Grand Nails - Getting my feet wet - Nail Salons Near Me - Oakland, California

Grand Nails is my nail shop. I have been a loyal customer for 7 years. I'm not very complicated when it comes to getting my nails done and face waxed. I use regular nail polish, but my expectation is that the mani-pedi experience is relaxing and the result is BEAUTIFUL hands and feet, and clean and natural waxed look. I can honestly say this is always my experience at Grand Nails. Once in a blue moon, I have had to wait a few extra minutes in the pedi-chair, but let's be honest where isn't there an occasionally long line in the Lake Merritt area? The only times my relaxation has been interrupted was when insatiable customers decided to holler about not being served fast enough or an imperfect brow waxing. As far as WHO at Grand Nails does my nails, it doesn't matter. I have seen many workers come and go in my visits to grand nails and I always get the same beautifully done nails, facial waxing, and relaxing experience. As a loyal customer, Jenny and Kevin, the owners know me quite well, and I will say this pays off. I always feel very well taken care of by them, like family at this point. I even had a birthday party at the shop with a bunch of girlfriends one year, we reserved the salon after hours, popped some bubbly, and had a ball! If your looking for a place with consistent service and results, always kind and friendly workers, I fully endorse Grand Nails. read more

This is the place I've trusted with my nails and eyebrows for over a year now, pretty much going about twice a month...I guess I'm a regular since I always get a warm reception (they apologized profusely last time I was there b/c I had to wait for my eyebrows since they were so busy--I was happy to see how well they are doing!). The price and quality can't be beat. Although it's nothing to write home about in terms of ambiance (they do have functional massaging spa chairs, however), it's the trade-off for the value. That high end "nail lounge" Lush Life in SF that I wrote a scathing review about can't hold a pinkie finger to this place for what you walk out the door with! read more

I had a great experience at Grand Nails. When I walked in they were packed but able to seat me within 5 minutes. My pedicurists, Amy, was really friendly and did a great job. When I mentioned that I had some pretty bad callouses she scrubbed my heels extra long. The nail polish looks perfect and even. My manicure was great as well. I didn't catch the gentleman's name but he was friendly and did a good job. I didn't realize that a shoulder/ neck massage was part of the package. Bonus!! The place is clean and they unwrap all their tools from sterilized packaging in front of you. Only $23 for a mani AND pedi? You can't beat that! The only downside is that they don't allow you to put a tip on your credit card so make sure to bring a little bit of cash. read more

Jenny is amazing! I showed her a pic of what I wanted and she made it better! Took her time making sure the glitter was placed perfectly! Exactly what I wanted for New Year's Eve nails! Staff was very friendly and helpful. read more

I cheated on my nail salon in Fremont for convenience and I regret it. Customer service: Great customer service! Very nice people, they accommodate, and they understand me. Nails: They pass. Not bad but not great. Mani: My shape is not super straight. I got regular polish and it bubbled. The cuticle polish is not straight either and my cuticles are still a mess. Pedi: Avg massage. Didn't do a thorough job on my pinkies and cuticles. Polish was fine. Maybe I'm spoiled with excellence from my regular shop. I'm glad I didn't get shellac because now I can go take this off in a few days and do my own polish. read more

The only nail salon in the area to be open until 7:30 and they actually will keep taking customers until close to that time, not an hour before like most places. I think they were still there well past 8pm allowing clients to finish their services and didn't rush. For a $23 mani pedi I'm really happy my nail are completely intact a week later, no chips! I would have liked to see more of the new colors from essie but I found two colors that are my new favorites so I'm really pleased. read more

Still here and business still going strong. I've stopped getting manicures due to rock climbing and b/c it always shreds my cuticles and gives me hangnails, but I still love the occasional pedicure. $16.00 if you pay cash, $17.00 credit. The last 3-4 times I've been here I've never had to wait -or if I do, my feet are getting soaked and my back getting kneaded in the massage chair. read more

Awesome place with decent prices. This place makes my feet feel and look so good every time! Good area too with lots around if you need to run errands, right by grand lake. Didn't give five stars because you can't tip on card, cash only, which can be a pain--and they don't offer student discount. Otherwise, always do a great job, no matter who I get. Oh they give neck and shoulder massage when you get manicures! read more
