Really good service and good prices. I can only review the pedicures, gel manicures, and eye brow waxing.

I used to come here as a teen when they were sister shops with the nail salon on havenscourt. I was doing my own lashes and they would always try to convince me to come work there but I didn't get the power and talent I had back then. Fast forward til today and they still do my feet the best. I've been to several technicians and have had mediocre service. Yes they'll will complain sometimes but if you know them then you know. I hadn't been here in over 20yrs and they still knew me and did my eyebrows bomb as they used to and treats my daughter like a Princess every time she comes here. We are every two weekers and love the selection of colors. I just wish they did gel x. Definitely need some remodeling on the inside but to each its own. I know I take terrible photos sometimes. It's Autumn and they had a beautiful Autumn color polish. read more

Mac Arthur Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Oakland, California

First ! Let's give them their props for remaining open and strong after their whole shop/building burnt to the ground about 2 years ago ! Now let's get to it . I've been coming here for years this is definitely one of the staples in east Oakland for nails . Very reasonably priced ( I just came in yesterday for wax eyebrow/lip and pedicure for 40$ ) Andy is very good at nails and they'll pretty much do whatever you ask them too ( if they have the material ) which brings me to one of my first little complaints lol . You get what you pay for . I notice a lot of shops in Oakland are outdated when it comes to all the new trends and art with nails now a days ! Get some more material I promise you'll make more money you guys !!! The inside of the shop is big , not cluttered . There's about 6 chairs for pedicures and 5 nail chairs . They always clean the bowls for you and use a plastic lining which makes me feel better about cleanliness lol . All in all it's a decent shop, I wouldn't recommend making an appointment because they're always busy ! And this is the only place I go to to get my eyebrows done they come perfect every time!!!! read more

Mac Arthur Nails - Full set and pedicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Oakland, California

It was so amazing when I got my nails and feet done i haven't got my feet done in 2 years love this place

Not welcoming. I got gel on my nails and regular polish on my feet. After a week the gel is lifting and my big toes are messed up. I went into get all fixed and the lady immediately started lying telling me she told me to sit there longer. No ma'am I sat there 20 min. I felt uncomfortable and told them they won't get my business again. read more

I'm giving 5 stars for the nails only. When my husband and I walked in i spoke as anyone should NOBODY spoke, So i spoke again nobody said anything the third time someone spoke. It was just a weird and uncomfortable first impression. I pay good money for my nails and have NO problem paying good money. Now as we were getting our feet done Andy came and started my nails i brought my own acrylic and he was slightly shocked and hesitant but he did so after speaking to us i guess they realized we wasnt ghetto and engaged in convo more. Which is offensive. My nails turned out GREAT he did a LOVELY job, and for that ONLY will i be returning. My feet was nice as well, my husbands feet came out nice i just wish i could have recieved a little more scrubbing but other than the horrible customer service the nails was great my feet were great as well. Also the lady was laying on the couch lazy, on the phone, another was on the phone with her shoes off neither of them budged when we came in. It was like pulling teeth on who was going to do our feet. Smh If they took a quality customer service training course i believe they'd get a hell of alot more traffic coming in. read more

**I have only had my eyebrows and lip waxed here. I've been coming here for over five years. They used to be located across the street - but an arsonist burned that complex down (that's another story). Linh Le is the best waxer in Oakland!! She is consistent, diligent, and efficient. She is a perfectionist. She likes to make sure that you're right before she lets you go-no matter how many more customers are waiting. MacArthur Nails has been nothing less than dependable. Whenever I come here, I know for certain that I'll be satisfied. The wait is hit or miss - I tend to plan around paydays and holidays so that I can avoid a long wait time. They are typically busy all day - with some soft spots in between (you have to come at random times and cross your fingers). The times that I have noticed to be less busy are usually Tuesdays/Wednesdays on my lunch break between 12-1pm. Eyebrow wax: $8 Lip wax: $5 read more

This place has been a fixture in Oakland forever and I've been coming to get my nails and brows hit here for a while, so I consider myself well-qualified (although maybe a little late) to write this review. The staff here is all great but for nails I love to work with Andy. The name of the woman who is the best for brows is failing me but if you go in, you'll probably see everyone else requesting her services too, which can sometimes mean a wait. The prices are great, leaving you with a few extra towards the tip! Their old spot on MacArthur burned down, so they're a few doors down on 73rd now, but they're still the same ol', good ol' MacArthur Nails. read more

I come to this nail shop every 2 weeks and they are wonderful and Lynn can do the hell out of some eyebrows read more

Mac Arthur Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Oakland, California

I'm giving 3 stars for the customer service. Being this was my first time here...ever, I was pleased with my gel pedicure. I was not pleased with the service. I wasn't asked how I was doing or greeted when I walked in. The tech that worked on me didn't say anything except "What color you want? and $33"... after she was finished. NOTE: If you work in a profession where you get money for your services, you should have to take a customer service course because I don't like giving my money to unappreciative business owners. There is no excuse! When in Rome, you do as the Romans and here, we do customer service! IJS read more

Got my eyebrows and nails done for 45 all together nice shape and color. Thermal so it changes from purple to blue. The only thing I really didn't like was when one of my cuticles started bleeding from them getting cut and picked at. I have shorter nail beds so nails kinda look awkward on my hands read more

This place sucks & has terrible cust service especially the female that sits in the front on the right side!! They clearly didn't want my money! I wouldn't even recommend my enemies to come here! GARBAGE!! read more

I am a regular here. Amazing and sweet people, all I can say. Linh does my eyebrows only cost around $8 and she never messes up, she's incredible. Wherever I go, everyone compliments me on my brows. The wax is non-irritable to the skin and she gives you aloe after just in case. Whole place is respectful, money is not an issue, and they are all very nice. read more

Andy is the man. He makes my hands look wonderful. Everyone always ask where I get them done. I tell them about ANDY.......Every 2 weeks, I'm here..... read more

I dont know what happened to this nail salon or their custom service. I waited an hour. There was minimal communication with forced effort on my part. They took 5. 1.2.3.4.5. People before me. I waited because my daughter really wanted to have her nails done. They use to so nice. I still at a loss of words. I have none to describe the lack of customer service today. read more

I've been coming to this nail shop since I was 17 an I'm 25 now Andy is great at what he does an I love my nails every time I leave that is what keeps me coming back really great place to relax an pamper yourself. read more

I get my eyebrows down here all the time! Really nice people. I've never had to wait forever either, which is cool. I like that it's only $6 for eyebrow wax and shape. Plus the wax they use has never irritated my skin, which is rare because I have sensitive skin. I'm going in the morning to get my brows done! My only not favorite part is the parking. They have a lot behind the building, but the area is a bit sketch, so I don't like walking there by myself read more

very fucking rude! i walked in there asked how a fill nobody said anything straight ignored me. when they was om macarthur when that side of the street burned up i use to go there. im appalled and very disappointed. so basically if you aren't a regular people discriminate against your money. how stupid is that????? read more

Multiple attempts to call over a 4 hour period before they answered the phone only to find out they won't do a manicure for a man.

The quality of work is very good and prices are standard and reasonable. I would give 5 stars except the clientele can be a little rowdy so that takes away from the relaxation factor. I also saw that they can get busy so arriving early is key to getting in and out fast. read more

I love this place, as the staff is always friendly and courteous. For acrylics, ANDY is your man. He is the BEST here, and is quick while doing a great job! Prices are reasonable. If you are looking for lashes, one word of caution....I had some put on (individual lashes) and she must have used some sort of super glue - I kid you not. 3 weeks later they were STILL on. I had had enough, and lost most of my real eyelashes while taking these off. ASK ABOUT THE GLUE, as the first time I had them applied this was NOT the case. I would have given 4 stars, had this not happened. read more

Fast & great quality I was impressed!! I most definitely recommend. I usually want the girls to do my nails but the guy in the shop did his thang. I'm still gonna give all stars even though they don't have any parking. read more
