Such a lovely experience The nail art is absolutely beautiful -- so delicate and detailed. They have a wide range of polish colors and options, which made it really fun to choose. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff were incredibly friendly and took the time to help my daughter pick a design she loved.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She was so happy and excited the whole time The space is clean, calm, and relaxing, and the little massage at the end was the perfect touch. Overall, it felt like such a treat. We'll definitely be coming back -- my daughter is already asking to go again read more

FYI--Under new ownership within the last couple of months, so older reviews apply to previous staff. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was able to get a same-day Saturday appointment with Nhi (pronounced "Nghee" iykyk!), who is amazing at gel-x designs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She takes her time to make sure you are happy with the look before setting everything in the blacklight. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She is so patient and kind.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would definitely recommend getting gel-x with her. Photo attached. My nails still look amazing and it's been over 2 weeks. Thanks, Nhi!! read more

Haven Nail Spa - Gel-x with a mix of marble, gold foil, chrome, French mani, and gem elements - Nail Salons Near Me - Alameda, California

I been going to Jadyn Taylor for a couple of months now and love it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nhi is great and is always willing to help you get you something you'll love. She's very knowledgeable and gentle.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There are lots of great options for manicures here. So far I tried the gel x and the builder gel options which both ended up being really long lasting. The builder gel manicure was the main reason why I wanted to try this salon since most do not offer it here in Alameda. Also, it's true the builder gel manicure really does help you grow your nails because it's been almost a month and I have grown my natural nails to such a great length. I really appreciate how Nhi is very open to creativity and has an eye for detail and design. They also offer a stamp card which is always a plus for me. Will be coming back in a few weeks. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Better Half and I have been putting the "man" in mani/pedis at Jadyn Taylor for over a decade, and have always enjoyed the experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Recently the business was sold and the new iteration is nothing short of amazingly blissful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Trang takes care of me, and Loan sees to BH. They are both so great and meticulous at what they do. Also, now there are a variety of products to choose from for treating hands and feet, and they're also treated to a paraffin wrap that leaves hands and feet so smooth for such a long time. And to top it all off, they provide a chair massage before sending us on our way. I'm not much of a natural salesperson, but another customer came in the spa while we were there for another service, and after I told her how wonderful the mani/pedi now was, she then got one, too - and was very glad she did. Try this new business out - you'll be glad you did, too! read more

I've been to many nails salons, but hands down this place is one of the best and now it's my favorite. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The customer service is incredible; the staff always have a smile on their faces and are willing to give you the best experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Not only that, the place is clean with calming music; a true place for you to rejuvenate. Most importantly though is the quality, the price is reasonable and their designs are flawless and gorgeous. I would 100% recommend this place. read more

Something shady is going on here. I had bought my friend an $85 gift card on June 25, 2024 and when she called to make an appointment the shop said they are not honoring it because they are under new ownership. Hmmm... the name is still the same on their website. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The owner is just telling us we are out of luck.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Well, actually, she says we can get $10 and 15% off a service. So she thinks we are actually going to throw good money after bad? read more

I was out looking for a new nail place, and I've been to multiple locations all around Alameda but couldn't really stick to one due to a previous tech's work quality or customer service. Last night, I was checking on Yelp for places nearby until I found this one. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The booking process was easy since it was all online, which is great since I prefer to read service descriptions and prices.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I booked on Thursday night for a Friday appointment, and right after I had a text saying my appointment is confirmed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Went here for the first time today, and had a great experience! I arrived a bit early, but I was able to be serviced right away. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I booked with Tram, and she was the sweetest person ever.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got the deluxe regular pedicure along with the gel manicure. At first I didn't choose the deluxe pedicure, but I thought that since it's Friday might as well treat myself. She and another person helped to describe what is included along with the pricing difference. The deluxe pedicure is worth it in my opinion. Tram gives great massages, and my feet feel and looks great! I appreciated of how she was detail oriented, and she cleaned up my nails really well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She also would check in with me by asking if the water is alright, would make small conversation here and there, and overall provided great customer service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The other two ladies there were also very sweet and helpful as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The only thing I can say is that parking may be an issue to some people, but I was able to find street parking without any problems. I paid for the max of 2 hours and was able to be done in time. I'm happy that I found my new nail place, and am planning to come back as a regular with my new loyalty card. Thank you so much for the positive experience! I can't wait to come back again. read more

It has been a while since I last been here. The same amazing staffs are still there! I wanted to throw my husband a surprise birthday party but, I didn't know where would accommodate about 50 adults and children without burning my wallet. Some places are too loud or not kids friendly. With the bipolar weather we have in CA, I prefer to be indoors. Demi overheard me talking about it, she offered me the place to rent out for a couple of hours. Since I've known Demi for some time now, I took her words for it. She even gave me ideas on how to decorate the place. My husband was surprised because he didn't think going to a nail spa would end up being his surprise party. Overall, the kids had fun playing on their iPad and dancing part of the night when their sugar rush kicked in. Everyone enjoys their time together catching up with one another, instead of sitting at a restaurant where you only communicate with the person next to you, having to yell across the table. I probably would rent out the shop again for my next party. read more

This place is horrible. As someone who was given a giftcard from your establishment, then a month later when I tried to use it was told you aren't honoring the giftcard due to new ownership is seriously fraudulent business practice. If the company name, website, and all your branding is the exact same how are you conveniently not able to honor the giftcard? It's your job as the new business owner to accept the responsibility and debt of the giftcards but also by retaining those customers it would have brought you a lot more money in the long run! As a former spa owner this just isn't acceptable. Please change your business name because this used to be a nice place to go to. read more

I went in last week for a gel manicure and she manicurist was able to see my right away. She did a great job on my nails and checked if I liked the color (I always appreciate that!). The only thing is that my nail polish chipped the same week and I spent roughly $60 (including tip) for a mani. Despite the effort, it was too expensive for the service. read more

Haven Nail Spa - Gel manicure. - Nail Salons Near Me - Alameda, California

First time in yesterday for a gel pedicure. Location is convenient and the decor is lovely. Everyone is very nice. Services rendered are at the upper end of the price scale for what I would say is fairly average service. Had an issue with the polish job on one nail (she left a large unpainted gap ahead of the cuticle) that I noticed after leaving. Came back today and another girl happily touched it up without any fuss. All in all, a pretty good spot, however, not the best value. read more

UPDATING INITIAL REVIEW- my dip nails started peeling off after 5 days- my last set of dip, done by Corner Nail Bar In Oakland lasted over 5 weeks! I went back to get them re done. Please look at updated photos for the product 6 days after. HORRIBLE! Although they didn't charge me when I came back, I still had to take 2.5 hours out of my day for them to do THE EXACT SAME THING THEY DID THE FIRST TIME. I won't be back and highly suggest the nail bar I spoke of (they weren't open on Sunday. This is apparently what I get for not waiting.) ORIGINAL REVIEW - Very relaxing! And they do powder dip nails!! With actual choices of dip color! So hard to find that in the Bay Area- for me anyway. $72 for a pedi/ dip nail mani. The dip on my hands came out nice but I would've liked a little more attention to my cuticles (seems unfinished). And if I could recline back in my pedicure that would've blown me out that pan of water!! 4 stars though! Thank you and I do recommend -- read more

I tried to give this place another shot. The ladies who work here are nice but the owners is a rip off. The prices were changed and not placed on the print out. The ladies were able to see them on the computer but not available to the customers. $57 for a gel pedicure ‍and unlike other nail salons the will always charge you to remove the previous polish from your nails both hands and feet. Save you the trouble and go up the street to Tulip Nails. They are do great service. Go to Tulip early if you can morning are afternoon the evenings seem to be packed. They provide great service, there prices are cheaper, and they don't charge for you to remove previous polish. read more

Haven Nail Spa - Natural color pedi and regular polish mani - Nail Salons Near Me - Alameda, California

I've heard of nail salons opening everywhere else in the Bay Area and decided to see if there was any open in Alameda. I found Jadyn Taylor on here and contacted them through an online form on their website. I put in my desired date and time and Demi replied to my email within a few hours! She said she'll see me at my desired time which was the day after I contacted them. This cute, little nail salon is a walk around the corner from my job so that was a plus. When I got there, there was NO ONE but Demi. It is by appointment only so make sure you book before people start finding out that they're open :) She started by offering me hand sanitizer and took my temp with a touch-less thermometer. Signed in and wrote down my temp. There is plexiglass at the check in/out counter and one between you and the tech. There are signs on the floor that guide you to keep a distance from others. Demi was lovely to talk to, thank you for my first pedicure in 6 months! She had both a face mask and shield, along with the plexiglass. Wore gloves and opened her tools from a sterilized pouch. The bowls they used are stainless steel. She let me stay till my toenails were dry enough. Her work is neat and painless. I appreciate her working during the pandemic. Appointment only, 1 tech per client. Only 2 techs will be working throughout the week. Which means a maximum of 4 people most days. Today it was just Demi all day, so I think 2 people at max when it's only 1 tech working. read more

My friend and I came here yesterday for a mani/pedi and let me tell you, we had a wonderful experience! I moved to the bay over 5 years ago and I've never been able to find a nail spa that I love....til now! Amy did an amazing job with my mani and pedi! The staff took their time and they were very thorough. We were there for over an hour and a half and came out super relaxed! This is the best nail spa in the bay hands down! Believe me, I've gone to so many and nothing comes close to Jadyn Taylor Nail Spa! read more

Been coming here for years, and love the relaxing atmosphere and customer service. I'm also picky about infection control at spas and like that they use metal bowls to soak feet instead of the foot baths in massage chairs (those cannot be fully sanitized no matter what they tell you). I get the basic mani/pedi so can't comment on any fancier services, but my pedi holds up for weeks. (Mani not long - but I wreck my hands at work, so that's on me) I'm so happy they survived the pandemic - i loved coming in back then and being the only customer, but so glad people have returned since then. Give them a try - really sweet, hard working staff! read more

Place is clean and nice BUT no talking in cellphones allowed. The lady who helped me did not do a very good job. She painted my nails in a very crooked way. Even my toes were not painted well and she was already using a brighter lamp to help her focus and paint straight . Even my hunnie noticed it. I will never come back here again. Parking around this place is horrible as well. I would rather go to Park street m where I get a much better service and my nails painted professionally. read more

I have a membership with ClassPass and decided to use my credit here to get the Mani Pedi combo. Demi was the person who helped with my service.

I would definitely recommend her to anyone! You won't be disappointed! read more

Jadyn Taylor is by far the best nail salon I've experienced. I was recommended to it by a friend 5 years ago and have been a faithful client since then. It is the only nail salon I will consider going to. There are a variety of colors and the atmosphere is very relaxing. What I love the most about Jadyn Taylor is the quality s customer service. The owner is one of the kindest people I know who goes above and beyond to take care of her customers. During state color coded Covid restrictions, the cleanliness and safety were exceptional when they were finally allowed to resume services- this is consistent with their pre Covid cleanliness and safety. I highly recommend Jadyn Taylor. read more

Honestly if I could give negative stars I would. My coworker and I came here for shellac manicures, which are listed both on the website and their spa menu brochure as $29. A reasonable price for the Bay Area. We received standard manicures- gel polish removal, cut and shaping, cuticle removal and soak, application of gel polish, and a quick 3 minute massage on each arm. Nothing special to write home about. Upon completion we went to go pay and were shocked to be informed that our balance was $46 each. What?! How on earth?! Even though we both pulled up the website pricing on our phones as well as pointed out the brochure pricing, they insisted that because our manicures has included a cuticle removal, soak, and quick massage, it was now $46. We argued the point and said that it was false advertisement, to which our nail technicians called their manager, Diem. Diem was VERY hostile and literally said "are you going to pay or do I need to call the police" which was VERY uncalled for. Of course we are going to pay we were just upset about the false advertisement! When we asked for the owners contact info to speak about this issue our nail technicians hemmed and hawed and skirted around it. I usually don't even bother with leaving yelp reviews but this experience has left such a bad taste in my mouth. This nail spa is hostile, unprofessional, and sketchy. read more

Haven Nail Spa - They rewrote in $29 for shellac manicure and still argued that we had to pay $46. Terrible customer service. Never EVER come here. - Nail Salons Near Me - Alameda, California

Went for mani pedi ...water was barely warm. They put too many coats of polish on before drying so there is no way it won't smudge from the slightest whisp even after hours of drying. My friend and I both have to redo our polish and we got it done 3 hours ago . Instead of waking from one side of the chair to the other to do each hand she made me stretch over awkwardly and was clearly annoyed and finished and said thank you and walked away. She was friendly overall but also the polish had bubbles in it. It was $40 for a mani pedi and I gave a $10 tip prior to the work so I didn't need to pull out my cc with wet nails...not worth $50 read more

Just to be clear, this place absolutely sucks at nail designs! I spent 2+ hours and $75 and they had to keep redoing the nail designs until we finally gave up and I walked out with no designs. The ladies in there were nice (though their english was bad). I blame the owner who doesn't give them the tools or training to do nail designs. This is a requirement if you want to have a classy salon with repeat customers. Why would I waste so much time & money on plain nails that I could have done myself?! read more

Horrendously dreadful facial last week. Where the heck is all the old staff? Now I know why I left JT over a year ago, July 2014, I was crushed when my nail technician left the salon and couldn't bear to return. BUT, I still had a gift card with $360 on it. SO, I scheduled a facial and got the gal who used to do my manicures, Demi. From the start, it was bad, I got there on time, had to wait over 5 minutes just to get walked to the room, seriously, parking is METERED, I don't have time or quarters to waste. She could have stuck me IN the room so I could get undressed and tucked in. In front of other clientele, she loudly says, "Haven't see you in a long time, how have you been?" This is AS she's walking up to the loft area and when I'm still sitting in the waiting area, couldn't she wait until we were in the privacy of the room? After I get shown to the treatment room, it was different than before: -NO humidifier -it was chilly -no blanket, just a really worn looking white sheet, made me feel dirty, not luxurious at all Once she was in the room, she continued to pepper me with annoying prying questions: -Why did you stop coming here? -When was your last facial? In May. -Where? -Have you been traveling a lot? -How is business? She also went over the line and told me a previous technician who had serviced me before had been fired and why. So unnecessary and unprofessional. SHUT. THE. HELL. UP. So I tried to relax and pretended to sleep. Why was the facial so incredibly bad? In a few words: My face was treated like one of my appendages. And when my appendages were massaged, they were not lubricated enough with lotion, so there was an incredible amount of friction, if you had ANY sense of your client, you would know this. The defining moments that led to the demise of my facial: -no extractions, she said they were not necessary, she never even turned on the light to LOOK, note: I have never been to a single esthetician who has not squeezed some gunk outta my pores -I had the sheets pulled up all the way to my neck, she asked if I was cold, I said I was, but she never changed the temperature of the room -see above, the friction from the lack of lotion, dude just ONE more pump, is that really going to affect the bottomline? The facial is $120 -do you have to dig your scrawny fingers into my knees? No technique, AT ALL -my eyes were closed when she was massaging my face, but at one point, she rubbed over my eyelids, causing them to open with the aggressive motion of her hand and allowing product to sting my waterline, WTF!?!?! Seriously?!?! OMG. Newsflash Demi: you don't massage the eyelids, just around the DELICATE eye area -I asked why the masks have changed for the facial, she did not have a coherent answer, the layers before would dry, super moisturizing and beneficial to the skin, had a warming element but took a deft hand to remove -first facial I was not relaxed enough to fall asleep -during checkout, the receptionist asked how the facial was and I said it was okay, better before and seemed different. She responded with ohhh... Fantastic, I really felt heard, NOT. Maybe I need to be more CLEAR? Not sure, but these people have NO sense for the desires of their customers. For a few days I contemplated returning back to spend down the gift card through services and decided not to. It is NOT my place to train staff at a salon. Every service I receive should be up to spa standards. Demi has been doing facials for two months now, but she made me fully aware years ago she used to do facials. WHERE, WHEN, WHO, WHY?!?! She MUST have been conducting facials on cadavers. I tried to sell the gift card for less than the face value on Craigslist. No takers. So I conjured up Plan B: go in and spend the gift card on skincare. That's precisely what I did. And who greeted me? Demi. She asked how my facial was and I said, OK, she didn't make eye contact or anything, was content with that and continued to finish the transaction. I don't need the carpet rolled out for me, but seriously, these gals have no understanding of people and just want to close out the sale. SAD, this place is so close to home, gorgeous inside, just NO skill, NO service and NO desire. Still have $19 and change left on the GC, but I cringe everytime I think about my experience there. read more

This nail salon was recommended by several friends and I finally decided to try out during wedding season earlier this year. It definitely has a different vibe than the ones I'm used to (in a good way). Yes services is higher than the spots on Park St BUT it is worth the experience because service is great, place is very clean, and parking is MUCH easier (than on Park St). My favorite is Demi - she is awesome and really takes the time and precision to make sure you leave with the perfect mani/pedi. Plus she is fun to talk to :D I've had her twice and my gel nails have lasted well beyond 2 weeks - amazing! You won't get your massage chair fix here but you will get your hands and feet soaked in bowls (your feet gets dipped in a GIANT salad bowl which is pretty amusing) and a special scented scrub. Magazines and little snacks galore while you wait. They will even bring you some water of you ask. Check online as they do have promotions & specials. Just make sure you mention it when booking your appointment because otherwise they may not honor it. Yes, appts HIGHLY recommended as they are generally very busy. read more

About to go on an overseas trip when I realized that my complexion was looking inordinately dull and, frankly, gross. I yelped "facials" and Jadyn Taylor was one of the top-rated results. I called in at around 11am and was told that I could be seen at 2pm. They also confirmed that I was eligible for the "early bird" special. w00t w00t! Parking was easy at that hour, I was able to find free street parking half a block away. The facility itself is elegant and tranquil, definitely a step above the typical nail salon/day spa. Joanne (not sure if that's how she spells her name) was the esthetician who performed my "Jadyn's Signature" facial. She was very sweet and had such a calming demeanor. She explained each step of the process and was very gentle. (though the extractions portion of a facial is never pleasant, this one was reasonably bearable) The best part was the soothing facial, arm, neck, and shoulder massage. Once the hour was up, my complexion was left feeling fresh, clean, hydrated and supple. I can definitely see myself becoming a regular client here at Jadyn Taylor! read more
