Worse experience ever. I booked an appointment at 10:45 for a mani/pedi. I haven't did a spa day in a while, so today was special because my birthday is (was) the next day and my graduation the next week. The timing of getting seen wasn't the problem. It's the nasty looks from the salon manager that was creeping me out. I was the only dude getting a service, and I wanted a spa pedi and a mani with buff and shine. While getting my pedicure, the nail tech was using one of the tools and stabs me in the corner of my big toe. When I looked at her and said ouch, she starts petting my toe like it's a dog, "it's ok." No lady, it's not ok. As the service continues, a young walks in wanting a gel x mani and gel French tip pedi. One of the nail tech just finished a client, and was heading over to do my mani. Then the manager/owner told her to stop doing my mani and to get started on the young lady. I told them I don't have time, and that I didn't want it anymore. She then proceeded to do it and said no I'll do it. That was the fastest, most sloppiest mani I've ever had! I kept getting a dirty look from the manager/owner, when I eventually said, "I don't want the buff just do the cuticle oil and that's it." The nail tech tried to tell me she'd do it, but I said no. They spoke to each other over me, and then she finished. $72 dollars later, a 5yr old could've done a better job and gave me clear polish. Note, I'm a licensed cosmetologist with over 10 years of experience working in SF, with beauty brands, etc. When I say worst experience, my ring finger still has a bit of previous gel on it that she didn't take off and the nail of big toe that she stabbed is slanted. Horrible, horrible, horrible! I would never go back there! read more

I was a walk in first-time customer yesterday and was not impressed. As a salon trying to gain business I would hope to feel welcomed and did not. Many staff were on their phones scrolling, and to second another review on Yelp, watching their phone while they were doing a customer's nails. "That's $15 extra." Was a common phrase for customers, including myself, when inquiring about services which are standard at other salons. If you want customers nails to look awesome and their friends to notice and ask, "where did you get your nails done?" Then make sure we represent your salon well by having beautiful manicures! You'll get more business. I left with a subpar manicure with rough cuticles because I didn't want to "pay extra". Include the extra touches that don't take much time and make the difference- cuticle trimming, hand massage to finish. Make me want to brag about your salon to others- especially as a first-timer. I see why I got right in at 4:30 and no line or wait. I won't be back. read more

I came in for an acrylic fill and had my nails done by Kevin. He did a great job--very detailed and took his time to make sure the shape and finish looked clean and natural. Throughout the appointment, he was super attentive, constantly checking in to make sure I liked how everything looked and asking if I wanted anything adjusted. I really appreciated that level of care. My only hesitation is the price--$95 for an acrylic fill felt a bit steep, especially since I was expecting something closer to $80 based on what I've paid elsewhere. That said, the quality of the work and Kevin's attention to detail were definitely there. read more

Booked an appointment yesterday for 9:30am. Arrived early about 9:20am when I walked in I said good morning and let them know I had a 9:30am confirmed appointment with Kevin. I was told Kevin was on vacation. At that time I asked if someone else would be able to do my nails as they are my natural nails with acrylic overlay that's too thick and all I needed was for them to be thinned out to look more like my natural nails. They acted as if they didn't understand and said I could sit down and wait but they don't know how long I might be waiting! I say okay. I take a seat. About 6 or 7 other women walk in who also say they have 9:30am appointments. I sit for a little bit longer as I too have an appointment and am waiting to be seated. After about 10 minutes I walked out. Didn't appreciate the vibe anyway. I was a first and last time customer. I won't be returning. read more

Everything went well! This is now my new nail salon. Called and got an immediate appointment at the last minute. The tech took her time and crafted my nails a bit better than my normal nail tech. read more

Ngl I'm disappointed. I got gel x & a pedicure almost a week ago and multiple nails feel loose and one is going to fall any minute now. I work as a counselor so I do very simple computer work so there's no reason my nails should be loose already. The nail design itself is good but the nails were put on too high on my nail bed so they already looked outgrown when I got them the first day. I paid $165 not including tips read more

The shop is always busy, which means a lot. Meanwhile, they will take last minute appointments, and I feel listened to whenever I come. I like my nails narrow, straight (not curved), and not thick. That's what I got. Aside from design prices, this shop is definitely what I've been looking for. read more

My nails always look pretty good when I leave. I believe the issue is the products may be poor quality. I experience chipping 2-3 days later as well as lifting 1 week after service. I've had my nails serviced by Kevin twice. My middle finger nails is super wide not shaped properly and lifting. I dont use lots of oil nor do I do anything outside of the normal housework. I'm new to area and was hoping to find a local nailshop. My previous nailshop in Castro Valley I didnt have this issue. Unfortunately I will have to find a different location. Unfortunately I did have the same issues. I was willing to try giving your shop a 2nd chance. As previously stated when I leave the nails are pretty good. As the days follow the chipping and lifting starts. This is the second time I've experienced lifting and chipping. The photos shows the shape of the nails. It's been 1wk since I was serviced. My opinion still stands. I believe the products are the issue. I do appreciate the offer to repair for no charge. This is not to bash your business. This is my honest experience. read more

me and my friend used to really just go to the nail salon next to NT nails but they religiously gaslight us into thinking that our appointments were later than what we have remembered booking. One day we were fed up and went to NT nails and I am so glad that we did. The staff is very kind and accommodating. They always offer water every time. The services are so much better as well! I just want to say that the way they rub you down after that pedicure I've recommended this place to so many of my coworkers and so many of my friends and I hear the same thing from them as well. I don't find myself getting my nails done anywhere else. read more

Disappointing cat-eye application, cost $20 extra but my nail tech did not magnetize to make any sort of line or pattern so it just looks like regular glitter polish. The job was fast but not enough coats were applied so it is still translucent, you can see through to my nail in some areas. Small parts of the nail were unpainted and the mani chipped in the next couple days. read more

I first saw Cherry to get my nails done 6 months ago and I've been a loyal customer ever since! Most of the nail designs I get are elaborate and I'm particular about the shape of my nails. She always brings my vision to life with her patience and expertise. Anne has also done my nails on a few occasions and is also just as detail oriented and is great. The whole staff is kind and welcoming. I couldn't recommend this place enough. read more

My mother and I went on a Wednesday afternoon with an appointment. There was no wait and everyone was really friendly. We got gel mani/pedi's. Some shops can be snobby about doing gel polish because they prefer acrylic, but NT Nails did not give off this impression. As soon as we sat down for our Pedi we were offered water; this is always a nice gesture. Both nail techs took their time with the pedicure. Manicure was done meticulously. The salon itself is well kept and cute inside. They were playing christmas music and the whole experience was very peaceful. There is street parking and the shop is easily accessible. We will definitely return! read more

I've been coming to this nail shop for a while. Due to my school schedule I've been on a hiatus. I made an appointment online choosing my person of preference and arrived at the scheduled time only to find out that they want me to wait 30+ minutes to be serviced. Stating that if you book online you get whoever is available when the service allows you to CHOOSE the person. Instead of accommodating me they still didn't have anyone to service me at the appointment time and suggested i wait. I'm highly upset at how unprofessional they were! Please take your business elsewhere ! ---update--- You stated a PREVIOUS APPOINTMENT which was the day before this scheduled appointment and have nothing to do with the booking !! You did not offer another person to service me all of your chairs were FULL!! If i wasn't in a rush I would have allowed this disservice but because i scheduled my appointment and was there at the time I should have never been told to wait an ADDITIONAL 30 mins for my 30 minute appointment! read more
