I was a little unsure of Lee's Nails after they cut my finger while trying to remove my nails but they did a thorough job disinfecting the wound and carefully removing the dirt under each fingernails as well as removing excess skin around my nails. The nail removal took less than 10 minutes while the polish took around 45-50 minutes. After leaving Lee's nails, I left feeling that my nails were clean and well taken care of. I highly recommend Lee's Nails if you're in the Castro Valley area. It was a very clean nail salon and they even have phone holders. The nail techs are pretty friendly but generally kept to themselves so I just watched youtube on my phone or whatever was on the TV.

Only complaint: One of my nails on my right hand is crooked. (but to be fair my finger is kinda crooked haha It's difficult for me when I do it myself as well). Spared everyone the before photos of my working-woman's hands and feet but they look a hell of a lot better now. Big thank you to Nancy for putting in 2 hrs of work. Going on vacation next week and been wanting to get my nails done. Love the color, length and natural shaping! read more

Nancy did a great job! I booked a gel mani with some simple but festive art for the holidays, and a lip & chin wax. I was taken in for my appointment right on schedule. Too many of the bigger nail salons in CV and Hayward make you wait forever and then rush you out the door, which always seems to result in sloppy work, cut corners, and an uneven manicure. But not Nancy! She was efficient while still paying close attention to the little details. I brought a picture with me, and she replicated it beautifully! (Freehand, no less!) The wax was also gentle but thorough. I was in and out for all services in under an hour. I'll definitely be back. Thanks, Nancy! read more

My toes are happiest when I leave here! Really- Nancy never rushes the process, is diligent and very kind. She does a great job and giving my feet a glow up, and the polish looks fresh for a long time. She is also very responsive when making appointments, and flexible. I really look forward to coming here for a bit of self care and some winding down. I've gone to several nail salons in the CV area, and this by far the best and most consistent.

The price is very much worth it. And how she does my nails lasts for a long time. The gel for me is the best. Her mom does a great job as well. It is a family business anyway.

Heads up, the place is really small and easy to miss, near some car lot/dealership thingy.

This place is super small and I probably wouldn't have noticed it if I was driving by. They offer just about every type of nail service but since they are small it is best to call ahead and make an appointment. Their prices are moderate too, $20 for a pedicure and $10 for a manicure. They have a good assortment of nail polish but it is mostly drug store brands. Overall this is a nice little place and it doesn't have a strong smell of chemicals when you walk in. read more

I work nearby this location & thought about getting my nails done. Reading the reviews, I just had to go check it out. When I first called I wanted to go during my lunch hour but made an appointment in the evening. Then I get a call back that one of her other clients canceled her appointment and asked me if I can make it to that one if I wanted to get my nails done earlier. So that was a huge plus for me. Rarely, you don't get that quite often. She did such an amazing job with my nails. Also when I was there one of her good friends was helping her update the business with new lighting, and was so much fun having a conversation with them! Really good people! Definitely coming back soon & recommending them to my friends Thank you Nancy! read more

For my first appointment, I booked for the next day and wasn't sure if it was going through, so now I just DM her directly to check in. Super easy once you know the flow. Sam herself is super sweet and easy to talk to. She recently went solo with her business, so it's just her now--and honestly, I love that. It's chill, one-on-one, and you can tell she really cares about quality. She has a gorgeous selection of colors and uses high-end products, which I think is why everything lasts so long. The first time I went, my nails were in sad shape and I honestly didn't think they'd bounce back. A month later? I've got legit nails I'm proud to show off.

The intent was to…read moreget a pedicure($30) & a gel manicure($32) on a Sat.morning w/a call & I was able to do so, since it wasn't too busy. Service was attentive & I got to speak with I believe the owner who had been there for 16 years so it made the experience more memorable. Since I don't want a gel pedicure I opted for a regular lacquer nail polish. The polish was a bit old & gooey but she added a few drops of nail polish thinner & it worked. My daughter had a gel manicure & she mentioned the color she chose also has that issue. I guess when you have so many options to choose from there are bond to be bottles that don't get regularly used. The experience was pleasant for my pedicure, but I would suggest making an appt.w/the younger male nail specialist for details on your manicure. It seems like he has a keen eye for details. Visiting Lena's Nail was a quick & efficient experience so if you don't have an appt.then walk in's seem welcomed here.

I really wanted to love this place because the salon itself was beautiful and the staff was…read morefriendly, but unfortunately the prices and quality were incredibly disappointing. First, I was shocked that a basic kids' pedicure for my 8-year-old son cost $27. All they did was trim and clean his nails, followed by a short leg massage. That price seems extremely high for such a simple service, and there was never any discussion of pricing beforehand. The biggest issue, though, was my own nails. I paid about $55 for my gel manicure--$35 for gel polish, plus an additional $20 for a French tip and a small Mickey design. When I woke up the very next morning, less than 24 hours later, the entire gel polish had already peeled completely off one of my thumbnails. The French tip and Mickey design on other nails were also already lifting and peeling. I've never had a gel manicure fail this quickly. If I lived closer and didn't have to drive across the bridge, I would absolutely return to request a full refund because this level of quality is unacceptable. Between my dad, my two kids, and me, we spent close to $500, so we expected much better workmanship. My daughter's nails actually turned out great, so this review is strictly about the quality of my nails. One other thing that bothered me was my dad's pedicure. The staff kept offering him additional services during the appointment, and he kept saying yes without realizing each one came with an extra charge. By the end, his pedicure totaled over $100 plus tip. I really think pricing for add-on services should be clearly explained before they're performed so customers can make informed decisions. I've attached photos showing my thumbnail the morning after my appointment, along with photos I took the night before. It's incredibly disappointing to spend this much money and have a gel manicure start peeling in less than 24 hours.

I walked in while she was finishing up a pedi on a customer. Her salon is very quaint, clean, comfortable, and almost spotless! She's very sweet and kind, and easy to have conversations with. I asked for French manicure and she told me the color looked good alone and I agreed. However, I stuck with my decision with getting French to look clean for a potential interview in the following week. She said she can try French on a finger and let me decide if I want to continue. I asked for thicker line but she told me it wouldn't look good thicker, and that most people do thin. I have to admit that I most likely won't return for French nails, but a gel manicure is fine. Be advised she doesn't use alcohol and a brush tool to give you the perfect clean white top...& just wings it using the nail polish brush (hence the results). FYI Gel French mani is +$5 which wasn't mentioned until it was time to pay and I asked for the breakdown. I did appreciate her attention to my bottom foot callus when she was lotioning my foot. I told her I used to run a lot and that sucker formed. She took her tool and started clipping it off. Thank you, Linda! **update on my nails 13days later... I'm shocked at how the polish has been peeling and lifting. Normally my gel polishes last me over a month and doesn't get caught to my hair. Pretty bummed this is the quality and work within a short timeframe because I did enjoy the 1-1 time here.

After some searching, I found Carrie through IG and the rest is history. She's a master at her craft and truly creates a unique experience for you. She'll assess your nails, their health and strength, and provide recommendations on what's best for you. On top of that, her studio is IMPECCABLY clean and organized. Every tool is sanitized and wrapped and she provides hand sanitizer. But most of all, her work truly lives up to her name. She takes her time with each client -always on time and never rushing to get the job done. Whether I was doing art or just a solid color, I truly felt like I was a priority. For those of you who aren't familiar with Japanese hard gel, keep in mind that this is a bit different than your standard "gel". It's SO much healthier for your nails and lasts so much longer. However, appointments take a bit. At minimum, expect to be here for 90-120 minutes. I know - this seems long - but it's SO worth it for the girlies who want long lasting, strengthening gel. Don't bother with standard gel manicures you get at most salons! They'll strip your nails and leave them brittle. I've been going to Carrie for two years and my nails have never been stronger. And if it doesn't get any better, Carrie is just a gem of a human. She's kind, respectful, and inclusive of everyone. Carrie, thank you for always making my nails look SO good.
