I have been getting french manicures (acrylics) regularly for 5 years, but the last few times at my normal spot had left me disappointed. I went to Livery Nails and Tran gave me the best set I have EVER gotten. They were perfect and exactly how I wanted them. They also held up longer than usual. GREAT EXPERIENCE here. Just make sure to make an appointment, walk in wait time could leave you waiting for quite a while. Recommended Tran to all my family and friends. Low cost for the amazing care he put into getting them perfect. Also, he said from the very beginning if you are anyway unhappy with the service to let him know and he will make it right at no cost. That is great customer service. I have had services done by the other girls there and was not impressed at all, but Tran is great for sure- he does a great job at making them look really natural. Granted this isn't a "spa" experience, just a place to go to get affordable services, but for someone who gets pedis/ manis regularly this is a great option as long as you ask for the right person. read more

Received a gift certificate for here and The search continues for a nail salon. I made and appt for a full set and pedicure. I made sure ahead of time and told them I needed both done at the same time. They said no problem. I came in and was getting the pedi and the another girl was gonna start my nails. Barely a minute later someone walked in and asked for a pedicure. The girl left me with the scheduled appointment to help her! First I thought ok maybe she just was gonna start the water and come back. Nope ! My pedicure was done and no nails . I was not happy she finally came back and gave me the fastest acrylics ever without taking off the nail polish under probably off. I kept telling her the polish wasn't off . She just said your old polish is to dark?! So take 5 seconds and take it off! My nails are a mess! 80 bucks wasted ! read more

I think this is a great place if you are into artificial nails and nail art. IF, like myself, you are looking for a nice spa manicure on a natural nail with quality products, this is not the place for you. It is easy to get an appointment, I observed several walk ins during my mani/pedi. The total for both services came to 30 dollars. THATS IT. IN NJ, a pedicure alone was 59 dollars. I guess you get what you pay for. The service was polite although I couldnt understand her English. All of the products are in generic plastic containers and there are no name brand products like CND or Essie or OPI. They do have many polishes but not an entire line of any one brand. It was clean, and they were quick but not rushed. The pedi massage was awesome but the polish coasts were so thin that I could see my nail on some spots. I brought my own polish so its not like they had to be stingy with the product. Also, they did not use toe separators to keep my pinkie nail from smearing on my other toe. I guess I have not much to complain for 30 dollars, as I said, I got my money's worth for sure. I would have preferred to pay more for a more upscale experience. I should have known by the looks of the place, and the other clients, but since it was in the Livery, I thought it would have been a little more chic. There are other nail salons in that little shopping area so I will check them out too. I would go back for a quick color change but I dont think I would consider this a pampering experience. read more

Not a fan. Also not my normal nail salon but had to result to this place one day. During my pedicure they kept hurting me with the tools and stabbing me which led to an infection in my toe. I got acrylics as usual and I usually like them long so I made sure to tell them. They charged me EXTRA for getting them long instead of short. That is unheard of to me. Is that extra work for you or something to paint just a little more. At that point I was beyond irritated and their rudeness didn't help. I don't know why I tipped them. read more

After hopping from nail salon to nail salon, trying to find the best combination of people, atmosphere, service and price.... I have finally found Livery Nails! At $12, you can't beat their manicures. They do a mani/pedi for $30. All of the employees are extremely nice and accommodating, and always make sure you leave happy. I have had several different women do my nails there and all are very talented. Their pedicure chairs are amazing and they spend a long time with massages! I recommend going here! read more

Tried this salon for a dip manicure and chose this location based on price, as dip can be pricey. At the get-go I was disappointed as they had so few colors to choose from. Then the technician dipped my fingers in a bowl of acetone to remove my old dip. I have never had a nail place let my hands soak in a bowl full of acetone before, which was concerning. So I got my dip manicure and regular pedicure and one hour after I left one nail had already chipped. Within one week my nails looked like it was week 4. I debated going back and having them re-do my nails, but I figure what's the point. Pedicure is chipping 1 week in and had to go get my dip manicure re-done at a different place 1 week after paying to have it done. Will not recommend and will not go back. Disappointed that I gave this establishment my hard-earned $. read more

Good pedicure to be had here. It's been two weeks and mine still looks new. The better value is to do a mani/pedi at $30 instead of a pedi at $22 like I did, but I needed a full set instead of mani and didn't have time that day. Close to when I need to go to Keller William's Danville office and not far from church too. read more

i have left the sunny beaches of california for the unpredictable weather of new york. i am writing a follow-up review because today was the first time since i have left california, that i have actually missed it. well, i don't miss california, i miss tran. for nearly fourteen years tran and i have been inseparable. he has seen me though every prom, wedding, vacation and boyfriend i have ever experienced. i used to trek all the way from san francisco every two weeks to have him create fabulousness on my nails. he is ladies, the greatest nail guy who has ever lived! honestly, if i was a balla, i would fly back to california every three weeks just to see him! so needless to say, after searching new york for my color glitter acrylic french (which by-the-by is a RARE thing here) i landed on a place that cost DOUBLE what i paid at livery nails. plus, i was also told i needed to get a new set every time i wanted to change the color of my tips! WTF?! le sigh. anyways, here's to tran and his awesomeness and the great establishment that he owns. ladies, if you do anything, book an appointment with tran, you will not regret it! i guess i'll just be seeing him on holiday now. whaa whaa whaaaa. read more

I have been coming to this salon since I was 13 years old the staff has always been excellent. Today I made an appointment for my mom and I. Long story short the man who owns the place was extremely rude wouldn't let my mom sit in a chair next to me because it "cost him to much money to run the chairs" even though my mom was just getting a pedicure and there was two chairs open next to us. I felt extremely uncomfortable in a salon that I have been going to regularly for years. I never post on yelp, but today was the day where I felt the need to voice my opinion. This salon has gone downhill. read more

See all

Excellent service & beautiful pedicures. My friend and I enjoyed a relaxing mom's night off/out. So glad we were able to an appt this evening on short notice. My pedicure was done by the owner. read more

I have been going to Tran for the past 20 years and have always had a great, high quality experience. I get acrylics every two weeks and pedicures monthly. I have been to others in the area and no where else treats you like Livery Nails. The prices are some of the lowest in the area, but the quality is the best. read more

I have tried lots of different shops in town and Tran at Livery has been the best. He takes his time to shape your nails as you request. I can go for 4 weeks without any issues of breaking or lifting due to the products that he uses. My review is only for Tran since that is the only person I have gone to. Prices are reasonable. Quality of work is great! read more

Sorely disappointing after the high reviews. I had some time to kill and spotted the shop (points for convenient location in a shopping center). They were able to start my pedi within 15 minutes (extra points for walk-in service) but my good impression ended there. The pedi service was okay (seemingly nice enough lady, 'tho didn't get any great massage that the other reviewers were referencing) but they left some polish on the sides that I noticed later. I was told that someone would start my mani a few minutes later which translated to 25 minutes...after finally sitting me with a seemingly nice but quiet lady, she was called to help with another client's pedi- and another girl stepped in. While I don't speak Vietnamese, she seemed to be upset and surly when I asked her a question. I was a bit annoyed when she skipped the cuticle and hangnail trimming (whats the point of a damn manicure with out it?!). After 2+ hours and paying $60, I ended up late, with polish that chipped within a few days- way faster that most mani/pedis, and feeling a bit roughed up by a rude technician. While other workers seemed nice enough, the service I got was way under-par and pricey for the mediocre quality. read more

I love Livery Nails. I have come here many times in the past for regular manicures and the girls always have done a fantastic job. More recently, I have been coming to Kim for Shellac manicures and she is the best ever. I've gotten Shellac in numerous places all over the Bay Area and her manicures are the only ones that actually last 2+ weeks. Also, at $25, you will be hard pressed to find a better deal with better results! I also have co-workers and friends who have come here for acrylic nails and pedicures and they all love it. If you want a reliably good, and very well priced nail salon, you won't find better than Livery Nails. read more

I would have to agree with the last review. They really don't understand customer service. They don't say hello when you arrive and you just have to sit there until someone feels like coming over to talk you to see what you'd like done. When they do talk to you, isn't very friendly and only short questions and one word answers. They also don't give you a good sense of how long you'll have to wait. I had called here to make a appointment - it was my daughter's birthday and I was taking her and a couple of her friends to get a mini mani-pedi. Well, apparently, they don't take appointments but neglected to tell me that on the phone. So when we got there, all the manicurist were working with other customers, there were several customers waiting and of course no one stood up to say hello. I was not happy to say the least. We looked around Danville for another place to go but it was Saturday so of course every where was busy. I will not be back to this place and will not recommend them to my friends. read more

Excellent! I've been going here for years, and the service and friendliness are consistently amazing! It's a place you walk out of and feel great, not just because you were massaged, but because you were treated kindly and in a way that makes you feel special. read more

I used to have the most wonderful lady who did my nails in Dublin. She was pricey ($40 for a fill) but so worth it when I had the money. My nails would last forever needing a fill and I was really getting what I paid for so I was happy. Well time have gotten tough and I've really had to watch my spending. In early October (the 2nd to be exact) I had 3 broken nails and desperately needed a fill or I would need to take all the nails off because I looked liked trash. So to save some money I tried my luck at Livery Nails (which is close to my work). I was a walk in and the place was pretty busy, but they got to me pretty fast. The woman who fixed my disaster that I called my nails was really sweet and I never once got that uncomfortable feeling when all the ladies speak in a different language and then giggle and you just know they are talking a world of smack about the customers inside. $20 bucks later with a fill and 3 fixed nails....they looked great and I was so happy. Well since then I was just plain lazy and hadn't gone back for a fill after almost 2 months. Last Tuesday (11/25) I decided its about time to get them fixed up, but if you go to long between fills you get that weird line and I already had a few of those so I decided to take them all off to start over. It was hard to do since none lifted or broke in all that time (boy were they long too). I've battered my poor nails trying to get those puppies off. Today I'm going back for a whole new set. Ok long story short....go there!!! Its so reasonable, the people are nice, the place is clean and the quality is great! Just remember to get your fills! :o) read more

Wow... I can't remember the last time I was this disappointed in a nail salon! I decided to give Livery Nails a shot based on other reviews and some recommendations from friends. I also decided to give Livery a try because they are one of the cheapest places to get shellack. Do not be fooled, in this case you get what you pay for! It was clear from the get go, that the more experienced members of the staff all wanted to eat lunch, so I was getting someone in training. Which I would have been fine with had she known what she was doing! Instead, she realized towards the end that she had made a mistake somewhere, because the shellack was streaking when she was putting the top coat on. Instead of admitting her mistake and starting over again, she asked one of the other girls how to fix it... Here is where I start to get even more upset, because the other associate didn't tell her to start over either, she just told her to try and patch it up! By the time she was done my nails were streaky and messy and not shiny at all. Well, by this time I decided to do something I hate doing, I asked to speak to the salon manager because I was not going to pay for such a poor quality job. Then the girls tried to claim that it was the nail color I had chosen, it just comes out that way... This was the last straw for me! I have been getting my nails done for a long time now and I know the difference between good work and bad work, and this was just all around bad work. Finally when the manager came over she said she would re-do them the following day, but it is too late for me. Needless to say I will not be returning. Rude and poor quality... bad combination! read more

My daughter and I walked in Saturday morning at 10 am when the salon opened. Three of the women that work there looked at us however no one interacted with us. A forth one walked toward us (I thought she would address us ) however she walked by us to adjust something on the shelf. Finally we asked if they would be able to give us pedicures (3 chairs were filled the remaining 7 empty). They looked at us as if we were putting them out and told us to come back in 30 minutes. Extremely rude. We will take our nails someplace else. read more

I recently went back to Livery Nails and had one of the best manicure and pedicures of my life. I recommend this business to anyone looking for a thorough mani/pedi experience. read more

I was very impressed with this little shop. It was very affordable and they got 3 of us in last minute. My daughter joined and sometimes shops are annoyed when you bring kids but they were so fun and welcoming to her, I ended up paying for her to get a little pampering and the ladies spoiled her by letting her soak her feet and pulled out all the glitter polish for her to choose from. They were friendly and went above and beyond. I will return. read more

Terrible customer service. Do Not GO Here! They make an appointment and do not honor it! Awful nail salon! They are not even apologetic, do not care about their customers. read more

I have been going here for years. The ladies do an excellent job at mani-pedi's. Wide selection of colors for both nail polish and shellac. But sometimes even with an appointment there is a long wait. read more

Not good service made an appt twice waited 20 mins before any service and they where handling new customers coming in before me.

I had the best & most relaxing experience at Livery Nails! It is very clean & has state of the art Pedicure massage chairs. They are one of the few salons that do liquid gel nails. All the employees spoke great English & understood everything I was asking for! I'm looking forward to my next visit! read more

I never even heard or saw this place until my friend told me about it a couple weeks ago. I had some down time today so I went and got a mani/pedi! I LOVE this place already!! Here are a few of my favorite things... 1. The ladies there are SO nice! Always smiling and happy. 2. THE MASSAGE CHAIRS!! These aren't your usual salon chairs...these ones massage your BUTT!!!! and it feels so good :) 3. They seriously massage each leg and arm for a good ten minutes...That itself gets 5 stars! No other salon does that...and they do an awesome job massaging too! I could go on and on about this place...but if you are looking to get your nails done...GO TO LIVERY NAILS!!! and also..their prices are awesome! read more

I have been coming to livery nails since it opened, Tran Nguyen by far the best I have ever experienced. Love coming here read more

Just tried it out for myself and WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED! Tran did an excellent full set of acrylic. He was very gentle and meticulous, I am completely satisfied. The set plus french tips was $28--quite a bargain in danville. I will definitely be going back there. read more

Great mani-pedi value. Nice work, friendly and accommodating staff. Nice massage chairs. No need to go anywhere else.

Update! Over 4 years later and I am STILL going to this place. Ever since I went, I haven't stopped going back. I still see Tran every month for my acrylic fill. This is the longest ever I have gone with acrylics on, I just love having them that much and usually its a lot of maintenance, but with the way Tran does them - they last for weeks at a time. When Tran isn't available or on vacation, I see Nancy and she does just as well of a job. The pedicures are great, which I get a lot of during the summer. Your feet get massaged for about 15 minutes each and the added scrub is a nice touch. The prices are reasonable for the wonderful service and excellent products they use. I wish Tran would expand his salon as sometimes it gets cramped in there during peak times, but other than that, no complaints here! read more

My regular nail shop was closed today so I got a pedi here. Great selections of colors $22 for a pedicure . Average no frills but no complaints 3.5 read more

Great prices on Shelac manicures. Always friendly and nice

Went in today with my mother, the only nail place we go to because of the price and how good of a job they do. Only problem I really had was that when one of the nail ladies was filing down my nails, on one of them she went a little much and it irritated my skin to the point where it was red. But, she apologized numerous times & fixed my nails twice when I accidentally chipped them. Overall a good experience and would definitely recommend this place to anyone. read more

Just had a Manicure pedicure done a week ago and love it. You can't beat the prices or the friendly staff. This place was recommended to me and it lived up the the standards! read more

Michelle gave a fabulous massage during the pedicure. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because it is an older salon and didn't offer water or other beverage like other salons do. The manicure and pedicure were great though. I will be back for sure. read more

I have mixed emotions for the salon as my impression of them has gone lower and lower with each visit. The very first time I went in for a mani, I had the best service and I think it was because they weren't that busy. However the last few times I came in for my appointment around lunch time for a mani and pedi they are jammed packed. Not only did I feel the service isn't great but the quality of my nails too. I get a gel mani and they usually last a few weeks but this last time it barely lasted 2 weeks. It started to peel off unlike other salons I have been to. Plus they kept switching people on me. It was very hectic. I felt like I couldn't relax. The staff are very in personable. I will not return to this salon. I'm giving this salon 2 stars because I did experience good service at one visit read more

Love Livery Nails! I am brutal on my nails and Tran always does a great job. They hold up for weeks. I get the gel on top which really makes them last and I always get compliments on them. Same for my toes. I am a total pedi snob and I think Kim does the best I've ever had. Long foot massages, always a smile on her face, and she does beautiful flowers. read more

I recently switched from perfect ten to livery nails. Its great that they are open on Sunday's! However not a fan that my shellac manicure peeled off within a couple days :( The first shellac manicure I got here was during a weekday with a different lady, that one lasted for a solid 2 weeks, even through a move. The most recent one I got was chipped and peeled off within a few days. It seems that the manicurist makes a difference read more

I just had the WORST experience here. I am a teenage girl, who works for my money, while living on a college budget, and when I was approached with the bill I was told my tip "was not enough." The persistent worker insisted that I either give more in cash, or charge it to my card. I felt extremely uncomfortable, as I gave her all I could afford. When I thought it couldn't get any worse, as I was drying my nails, the machine electrocuted me and when I went to tell a worker he LAUGHED in my face. I told him this was a safety hazard and it should be taken care of, and he brushed it off. I know I will not be coming here again, and I encourage you to NEVER go either. read more

Every time I come here they mess up on my nails and I have given this store 3 tries I just can't do it anymore. I did shellac the first time the man did it he didn't bother to shape my nails. The second time was great the lady who did it for me was nice which was why I came back again . the third time was horrendous!!! I asked for shellac on my nails and I don't know what the hell she put on me nails but it did not harden up like shellac it was weird and gushy and had bubbles in it and the paint job wasn't good I could still see my actual nail at times in a few spots. I also did a pedicure that time and I swear to god my 9 year old sister could have done a better job. Will never ever be returning there and will also be letting all my friends know so they never make that mistake. They also pressure for tips. If you pay they will right away ask for a tip. I always tip but my friend did not bring cash so she wrote the tip down on the receipt. I guess that's not good enough for them. They want cash. Me giving one star is me being nice at this point. read more
