Up until very recently, I had never even heard of this place. Very rarely do I visit Pleasanton as…read moreI live in the San Ramon/Danville area. However, one morning, I called the place I typically go to in Castro Valley to see my regular nail tech. Then, they told me, she moved. I almost had a heart attack. Lol. Then, they told me that she now owns her own establishment in Pleasanton. So yes, I followed Snow all the way to Pleasanton. It's very rare that I follow anyone ANYWHERE. But this was an exception, and I knew this new place was going to be my home because Snow was there. Needless to say, I don't necessarily care about the establishment. Because it's the people who make the establishment feel like home. So cactus flower nail boutique is my new home because Snow is there. She is such an excellent technician. She pays attention to detail and tries to recreate anything that you want to see brought to life on your nails. She's also an excellent esthetician. My nails and eyebrows are always on point. She is an excellent hostess as well. She offers beverages during your session and serves everything from coffee to bottled water to juices and wine. As someone that values excellent quality. I suggest that you stop in and schedule your next appointment with Snow. She books pretty fast so I recommend making your appointments ASAP. Something else I want to mention... These ladies work extremely hard to make sure that your experience is phenomenal. They listen to us rant and rave about what's going on in our lives, they try to recreate some design on your nails that you want, spoil us with tasty beverages and genuinely care about making you feel pretty. DONT BE CHEAP! BE GENEROUS. TIP THESE WOMEN ACCORDINGLY! This is a WOMAN OWNED, MINORITY OWNED BUSINESS! GET OUT THERE AND SUPPORT HER!! When we support one woman, we support ALL WOMEN. I also recommend coming early! Its so peaceful and quiet.

I'm honestly very iffy when it comes to going to new nail salons, but this one is in the same plaza as my job so I wanted to give it a try and I'm glad that I did. I appreciate her kindness and transparency from the very beginning. The salon is very clean and it doesn't smell strong of chemicals which I really appreciate. I wanted milky white base with a pure white French tip, and she was very transparent about my expectations She made it clear that doing a dip powder with milky white base and pure white tips, would almost not show considering putting white on white. I told her that was OK and let's continue on anyways. She respected my request and finished my set which in the end I do see where she's coming from however, I am very happy with the set that I got.

Worst salon ever!! I asked for a cat eye gel manicure, the…read morefirst person couldn't said she can do it but it was awful, second person stepped in and finished the nails, in the same time I was getting a pedicure. I was so overwhelmed by two people trying to figure out how to create a cat eye manicure that by the end of it I did not pay attention to my toes until I go lt home. To my surprise she had left a gap from where the skin is to where the nail polish starts, leaving an outgrown look :( I was so upset!! However, time is of essence and I had to let it be. Four days later my the gel had already chipped, which was incredibly frustrating considering I paid $120.... **One week later** I was in the shower washing my hair and the gel polish kept getting stuck on my hair, I'm not kidding when I say I took the nails off like it was stickers... I attached a photo for reference, I literally took them off in the shower whiteout any issues! I basically paid $120 for garbage. The people working here are shady, and expensive. I would never ever go back and if anybody is thinking about going to this salon I hope this helps, please be careful, save your money and go elsewhere.

I really like the relaxing ambiance and the spa treatments they offer, but there's been a few…read moreissues that I've encountered during my past two visits. On both visits, they had staffing issues. Even though I made an appointment, it always seems like they get delayed because they've overbooked and/or don't have enough nail technicians. The first time I got a pedicure with spa treatment done and I watched as people who came in with appointments waited past their appointment times to be seen. A pedicure with spa treatment is supposed to be an hour, but I was there for two to three hours. On my most recent visit, I opted for the therapeutic pedicure. The menu listed it as "60 minutes", so I was under the impression that the massage session would be sixty minutes. It lasted fifteen minutes. The nail technician I had spent at most forty-five minutes with me before moving on and never coming back. I still had the paper towel between my toes. I waited half an hour before having to wave someone down to assist me. One of my nails was not trimmed straight, so I asked if they could snip it for me. Another nail technician (sorry, I forget her name, but I think she's the owner), ended up filing and repainting the whole set. She did a great job and offered extra massage for next time. I brought up the confusion with the therapeutic pedicure session twice throughout, but the receptionist still charged me for the therapeutic pedicure. So long story short, unless you are expecting a fifteen minute massage and spending $20 extra for it, DON'T go for the therapeutic pedicure. In the future, I'll opt for the traditional pedicure or splurge on another spa treatment (rose and champagne is currently my go-to). Also, if you can, book your appointment earlier in the day before they get backed up with appointments and walk-ins.

I want to share my experience so others are aware…read more When I called to schedule a pedicure, I specifically asked if I could have regular nail polish with a French tip. I mentioned this before booking because I know most salons primarily work with gel polish. The receptionist confirmed they could accommodate my request, although they had a limited selection of regular polish colors. She even offered to text me photos of the available colors, which she did. During our conversation, I explained that I have contact dermatitis, which is why I normally choose regular nail polish instead of gel. Even after I explained this, I felt I was repeatedly encouraged to switch to gel. I even said that if regular polish truly wasn't an option, I would consider trying gel despite my concerns. Instead of honoring the appointment they had already agreed to, I received a message stating they would not provide the service because of my contact dermatitis and that they would be refusing service altogether. I completely respect a business's right to decline services for safety or liability reasons. However, what I found disappointing was that my appointment was initially accepted after I clearly explained I wanted regular polish, only for the decision to change after I disclosed my medical condition. I would have appreciated clear communication from the beginning rather than being led to believe the appointment was confirmed.

I started to get my pedicure done by one lady but she didn't do my cuticles or understand what I was asking for so Katie finished my pedicure. That initial hiccup is my reason for 4 stars.

Katie did my American French pedicure but another lady did the acrylic in my big toe to fix the broken nail. Overall I had a really good experience and will return again if I am in the area and need a pedicure. Thank you ladies.

If you opt for a pedicure, I highly recommend getting the the honey pearl scent ( I believe that's what it was called). Oh my goodness, it smelled so good. I was tempted to close my eyes at one point, but I just know I would've fell asleep.
