Julie runs a professional business. Not only is she an expert manicurist but she also cares for the health of your feet and nails. For instance, I have never been to a salon that identified toe nail fungus. Julie trimmed my nails so that I could easily treat the problem. In addition, she smoothed all the callouses on my feet and then explained that she disposes of the sanding element after each client. She is fastidious. She showed me the disinfectant, Barbicide, that she uses to clean her equipment. She spoke about how important it is that salon owners disinfect their equipment properly to avoid passing along germs from one client to another. While we were waiting for my polish to dry, I complimented her on her eyebrows (tattooed). I told her I might like to consider that. She looked at my brows and trimmed and shaped them and they've never looked better (she wouldn't accept pay). I was really pleased. Julie is just blocks from Rossmoor on Tice Creek Blvd. and I would highly recommend her to the Rossmoor crowd. You will not get a better pedicure (and manicure) anywhere. The other bonus is easy parking...just steps from the door. I look forward to going back. read more

I tried several nail salons in the area and always found something lacking. Julie checks off all the boxes! The place is very clean and she is extremely attentive to making sure your nails not only look beautiful but are also healthy. The polish lasts in perfect condition for 3 weeks as do my otherwise rough cuticles. Julie may charge more than other salons but she is well worth the extra few dollars. read more

The cleanliness and amazing quality of both the manicure and pedicure make Luxury Nails a hit!!

Well... I was able to make an appointment for my after work needs. It's very hard to find a location that not only can schedule me in or is open late when I get off work; they also may not provide what I like. Although, the place maybe moderately pricey for some; it is a heaven send for others. They have a lot of amenities one can appreciate. Like have a useable restroom. Even just have water available and comfortable sitting if you come in early and need to wait. It's cool inside for them warm days. They have nice chairs for doing or getting pedicures done. I like that the nail tech Julie will keep your nails hands and feet healthy. She will let you know if you need some products for extra treatment. Also; if you are concerned about payment asked her about the form before, so if you want to book or go somewhere else you have that option . For me it was quick; and I can't wait to see her in three weeks. Also; how she does your nails with her technique it's quick and painless. read more

Julie is the best manicurist I have ever been to. Beautiful work and fast. You don't need to spend a long time for gorgeous nails. They also don't lift and stay well for a month or more. The salon is clean, and massage chairs are great when getting a pedicure. Would give 10 stars if I could! read more

After a stressful week with home remodeling, I was ready for a pedicure as a relax me gift to myself. I called in the morning and Julie was accommodating and took me that afternoon after work. When I entered her salon, it is very clean and new. Since Julie works as a one woman operation in the salon, appointment is a must. I also appreciated the individual attention without the usual noise from other workers/customers in a salon. The massage chairs were nice and new and felt good as I got my pedicure. I picked a pretty pink color and Julie did a good job with my pedicure. She even smoothed out a callus under the balls of my feet when she noticed it during the foot/leg massage. Since her next customer didn't come, she offered to give me a free flower design on my toes. I never had a flower design on my toes before and it was so cute! Julie was sweet and thorough and a pleasure to chat with. One little suggestion: I do wish she would have waited until after I got up to clean the tub because her soapy glove touched my heels a couple of times and it wasn't as relaxing as I wanted if the tub is being cleaned under me. Also some more nail color selections would round this up to a 5 star! Thanks Julie, I'll be back:) read more

Julie is very professional and gives a great manicure. I highly recommend luxury nails

Julie is my favorite nail artist EVER. She is extremely talented and a wonderful person to talk with. I am always blown away by her work and leave happy every single time. I have never been disappointed. From simple polish changes to acrylic she is your girl. Not only is she a fantastic nail tech she also cares about all of her customers. My nails have never been more healthy. I hardly ever see a chip or crack which is incredible after 4 weeks! Believe me when I say I am a lifetime customer! Do yourself a huge favor and book an appointment with her ASAP read more

This place is very close to my house, so I had to come and give it a try! Julie is very sweet and went out of her way to accommodate me the same day for a pedicure. This salon is clean, comfortable, and bright, and Julie did a great job on my nails. She's super friendly, but also was really nice about me wanting to sit and read my book instead of chatting a lot, which I really appreciated (as I'm completely engrossed at the moment and am reluctant to put my novel down). The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is because I didn't know I had to bring cash or a check, so I ended up trudging uphill after my pedicure in my lotion-y (from my foot massage), slippery sandals to get money from the bank. So just note -- bring cash or a check! Thank you for the otherwise wonderful service, Julie! read more

Julie was awesome very professional and friendly will definetly return for her services

Julie is lovely, personable, welcoming and professional. She graciously accommodated a late appointment for me on a Saturday night and my special requests for my manicure and pedicure didn't phase her despite the late hour. Now that I know she is there in the shopping center with the Wells Fargo on Tice Valley Rd near Rossmoor I trust I will return to her again and again. read more

I usually visit luxury nails and spa with my fiancé for her gel dip refill every 3 weeks. Her nails are better now. Julie also helped me to fix my ingrown toe nails when my fiancé have pedicure done. we are very happy to found her by professional manicurist . She is very nice and kind. We also met her client who came to her for a long time. We are all happy and we will come again by next appointment. read more

Julie is the absolute worst. Many of her clients are elderly women from Rossmoor, who she proceeds to talk trash about whenever they call or come into her shop. I have felt very uncomfortable at times due to the way she speaks about her clients. The way she does the gel manicures is unhygenic and is done by dipping your finger into a pot of powder that who knows how many people have used. She has also given herself 2 Yelp reviews on this page. The user Thuy T. is Julie. My mom and I have been going to Julie every 3 weeks for over a year. Looking back, I'm not sure why we kept going here. My mom would typically go first, then my appointment would follow. Yesterday, I was running a few minutes behind due to an accident and lane closures on the freeway. My mom went first and I called to let them know I would be late and asked if I should reschedule or just wait for next time. Julie said no as long as I was there by 10:45. I arrived at 10:40 but she tells me that I have to wait or reschedule my appointment as she didn't have any time for me. I asked her why she told me to come at 10:45 and she responded with, and I quote, "I told you that but I didn't think you'd actually come." At this point I was fed up and just wanted to get out of there and needed to go forward with my day, so I said I would be back in 3 weeks for my next appointment since I don't have much time this week. Julie then tells me she'd​ charging $18 extra because my nails would be too grown out. We argue about this for a bit and she reluctantly agrees that she won't charge me extra. I started to leave but then I heard her laughing and starting to talk about me to her client. On my way back in her shop, she proceeds to tell her client that I have not shown up in the past and have neglected to pay her before, which is the first I'm hearing about this. I couldn't believe she was outright telling lies and laughing about me. But she does it about everyone else, why should I be any different? I told her to cancel our appointments and I didn't appreciate her bashing me to her clients. This situation aside, Julie is a horrible person and has a lot to learn about how to treat people with respect and running a business. read more

I went to this nail salon while in Walnut Creek. Julie was friendly but the conversation was a little bit scary as she talked about a scammer she was keeping entertained on the phone at night. I asked for gel which is what I was used to but Julie said she had something better than gel. I agreed but had no idea what I was in for. It was some sort of acrylic glue. Two months later my nails have not yet recovered...they are weak, split and cracking. I hope with time they will regain their strength. At this point I am depending on nail hardener. I would never recommend this process as it has to be the worst thing ever to subject your nails to. They looked good enough when she did them but when I was back in Tucson and went to my regular nail salon, it took forever to remove Julie's handiwork. Before I even went to my regular salon, a pinky nail was hanging of and I lost half the nail. I would never recommend this method. read more

Although we had an appointment, Julie took a man (who had been standing at the door waiting for her to open) ahead of us.... so we had to wait 20 minutes. Both my mom and I thought she was not gentle and rushed through our mani-pedi's. Her next customer came in as she was just starting my pedicure and Julie said, "I'll be with you in just a few minutes"! Really??? That was rude! My mom won a free pedicure to go to Julie and she returned it!!! Will never go here again! read more

Julie's method is unlike any other nail specialist. All I know is my nails have never looked better. She's a one-woman dynamo. Very glad to have found Julie. Give her a try! read more

Julie does an incredible job with my nails, I won't go anywhere else! I previously had thin and brittle nails but the "gel powder dip" technique that Julie uses is amazing. My nails last for 3-4 weeks, even at 4 weeks there are no chips or damage. My nails feel so strong, healthy and thick. You must make an appointment as Julie is a one-woman shop but it is so worth it! Thanks for always doing an amazing job Julie :) read more

This is a fabulous place to get your nails done. A nice clean salon with service that is efficient and expert. My gel nails last 3 weeks without a chip. All of the work is done by the owner Julie who is terrific. . read more

I have been to Julie three times, and having had my nails done for years on the Peninsula, I was a little disappointed. First time, I had a pedicure and that was just ok. No foot massage. The next two times were to have my nails done. The first time, she ran 15 minutes late. She did an ok job. My experience has been when doing gel nails the technician uses a powder and solution and applies with a brush. Julie put what looked like nail glue on to my nail and dipped my finger right into the container of powder and then tapped my finger to remove the excess. I didn't think that was very sanitary. The second time I had my nails done, my appt was at 8:45. she called the night before to say it was at 9:00. I showed up before 9:00 and STILL had to wait another 10-15 minutes BEFORE she even showed up at the shop. This time when she did my nails, she did the same filing, nail glue, nails dipped into the container the powder comes in. Crooked nails, thick. I got the feeling she wasn't interested in her job. She seems nice, but I don't think I am going to go back. Sorry. As I mentioned earlier, I have had my nails done for years and she seems to be cutting corners and she charges more for less service. read more

I was very specific when asking for the sns manicure and was told that was the product she used. Well maybe the powder was sns (and Im not sure it was) but the process was not correct. She used nail glue and then dipped my nail in the powder multiple times. I questioned her several times about this process as it was not what I had read and looked at on the internet but she was very adamant that this was "an even better way". She also did no maintenance on my cuticles or nails prior to the application process. The end result was thick and chunky looking nails that as they grew out looked even worse. not only that but I understand that using that much nail glue is terrible for your nails as it doesn't allow them to breath. Today I went somewhere else to have them removed and redone and sure enough they did not use nail glue to adhere the powder. they use a bottled (marked sns product) painted on product in-between each dip(also marked sns). the end result is a beautiful and natural looking nail. Julie literally lied to my face when I questioned her repeatedly during her application and did a lousy job to boot. I would never go back nor recommend her to anyone.... read more

I have been going to Julie at luxury nails for several years. She always does a good job and she is very professional. She is very pleasant to work with. Plenty of parking. read more

I live in Berkeley and have driven to Walnut Creek for Julie to do my nails for nearly 17 years. Hands down, she gives the best manicures and pedicures I have ever had. Julie's gel manicures last and still look terrific when I return 3 weeks later for another manicure. Her pedicures, which she gives me every 6 weeks, are equally fantastic. She takes tremendous pride in her work and pleasing her customers is a number one priority. She is a perfectionist, and always pays attention to detail. As a result, her manicures and pedicures are always phenomenal. Definitely make an appointment and give her a try - you'll be happy you did. read more

My go to nail salon...Julie is wonderful and excellent at her craft. Highly recommend.

Spotless salon, may not have all the "bells and whistles" of high priced salons but excellent work and very reasonable prices. For those who complain about being a bit late, remember to always be on time yourself as the reason Julie occasionally runs late is because at some time during the day someone came late and Julie tried to be accommodating. I've been getting nails and toes done for years and think Julie's work is as good as it gets. read more

I came to Julie at a time about three years ago, frustrated because my gel nails were always lifting in between appointments at a different salon. What a difference professionalism makes. She does such a thorough job on my nails, I consistently receive compliments. My nails always look wonderful for two weeks - occasionally three weeks - until my next appointment. I know I am in the right place and I am here to stay. One thing to keep in mind though, is that she is always running late, so your appointment probably won't take place at the exact time you scheduled it -time flexibility is mandatory if you want her to be your regular nails person. read more
