I was referred to this nail spot by my best friend. She did me a solid! Booking was really easy and fast. The shop was clean and organized which is a good sign. I've been going to the same lady for years, so naturally seeing a new nail tech is nerve wrecking. But I was so pleased with the whole process. He had a custom color that matched my old nail tech color. He took his time but wasn't slow at cleaning and shaping my nail. In a corporate girly, so a clean and classic finish is perfect. I love my nails and look forward to my next appointment! read more

LOVE this place!! I drive all the way from the Valley to get my nails done here. Super creative designs and my nails NEVER break which is my main concern. Phi and Ben are both really artistic and fast, I let them freestyle on me.. and Sue is also good. I never go anywhere else!! read more

best salon in oakland! my only suggestion is if there's any air freshener there due to the building location it can get alittle stuffy. read more

Messy salon, took almost 2 hours to do my nails, and were quite unprofessional. My nails are clumpy, poorly done, and I have dip powder all over my hands. Cheap, but won't be coming back. read more

Made an appointment, but unfortunately still had to wait about 15 minutes to get my nails started with not the person I booked with. Not too big of a deal, but full set nails took almost 2 hours for just French tip. A little frustrating but understandable, but now only two weeks later one of my nails broke due to the lack of acrylic there is on my nails. Really disappointing due to paying almost 100 for this set to barely last. read more

I booked an appointment with Phi through instagram dm as instructed. The appointment was scheduled for 2pm and at 12:32pm Phi messaged me "Hi I'm a little bit behind" giving no details of how long it would take or when I should come in. I asked when I should plan to come in and phi never responded. Very disappointing considering these would have been my birthday nails. Definitely will not be booking again at this business because they clearly do no value peoples time or respect someone having a scheduled appointment. read more

Annie is my girl :) I've been coming here for months for gel x and pedicures and she kills it every time! The other ladies here are also incredible, I will be here time and time again. Prices are good (card, cash, venmo or Zelle accepted), free neighborhood st parking, no frills spot, and if you sign up for their texts/loyalty program, they'll occasionally send random promos like 10-20% off. She also gave me a cute bottle of lotion as a holiday gift during my last visit. thank you Annie + team! read more

Highly recommend this salon! They're having a 15% off promo for their grand opening on top of already amazing prices for their services. The owner was meticulous in his work and did a wonderful job on my pedicure. He was super patient and made sure I was satisfied with every part of the service from my nail shape to polish color. Definitely check out this place if you're in the area! read more

Great experience! I got a gel pedicure and it was done so well. Such sweet service and will come back.

I love this place. I won't go anywhere else. I loved the prior owners - went there since 2006 when my first child started at the preschool across the street. When they made their well-deserved retirement to Vietnam, they I believe sold the shop to the current owner. Changed name to Peony, updated the interior entirely; prices have gone up but honestly pedicures should never have been $20 to begin with. $40 is totally reasonable for a basic pedi. They're touching your feet!!! So you have to tip well. Anyway, when they left I thought I would give the new owners a chance bc I was going to need a new nail shop. I've been to a couple of other places just when Peony couldn't take me as a walk in right away & peony is my favorite! I once made an appt. for me & my daughter to come in before her graduation. Now I know when to come when I'll be able to walk in but for 2 people you are going to need an appt. Love this place!! read more

This is my new favorite spot! I am very particular about my dip manicures, and Annie did not disappoint. She did a meticulous job making my nails look great, and when I asked for super short she listened! The shop is super cute and it was easy to make an appointment via text and Instagram. Everyone who works here is so kind and friendly. Peony is a new shop and under different ownership than the nail salon that had been at this location. I definitely recommend them to anyone looking for great mani/pedis! read more

It's unfortunate as they did a good job and they are also inexpensive but the lady was so rude to me that I don't wanna ever come back. The older women are very nice but the younger woman awful customer service. read more

**Their times are wrong on yelp! They're now open on Sundays! Call to check before looking for another place.** This place is great. Danny, the owner, and his wife (who's name I didn't get, unfortunately) are awesome, attentive and very reasonably priced. I got a gel manicure and regular pedicure, with a gel removal and paraffin dip for hands + feet. Grand total was $75! So reasonable. They kept checking in on how I was doing, restarting the massage chair whenever it went off + made sure I got enough coats of my sparkle polish to really shine. When three coats was still a little thin, Danny applied another, without my prompting. He held my nails against each other at various angles to ensure the shapes were even and consistent with one another. Their color selection was a bit thin, but they more than make up for it with excellent service + great pricing. Five stars. read more

I've been going to this location for decades, but when Danny sold Royal Nail Spa, the new owners changed the name. Fortunately they kept at least one of the staff and they are doing a fine job taking care of my feet. read more

Sue is the best!! She listens!! Followed her when she and Phi left their previous location. Parking can be only a little challenging, but definitely worth it. read more

Service was great and the ambiance of the salon was exquisite! I am pleased with my appointment thank you to the ladies for your service!

Calm ambiance. Nice friendly people. Good leg massage. Long lasting varnish. I've been here twice and will come back.

The staff at Peony Nail is very cute, funny, and very skillful in doing nails, so this month my gel nails are still like new. Love it!

I got a new dip set. The technicians dipped my finger in the powder instead of using a brush to apply it which took me by surprise, considering they didn't ask me to wash my hands. It makes me wonder how unsanitary the place as a whole is and how many people they do this to. Also, I got my toes done with gel. Within a week it began chipping. I've been to places where the gel would last for a LONG time. So imagine my disappointment to see within a week it was already rubbing off. I normally did their waxing services but now I'm second guessing with their sanitation practices. Nice, lovely people but for the prices they're charging I can get the same work at a better quality somewhere else. It's not even that close to me, I'm going out of my way to use a whole in the wall place. read more

Walked in for a wax and the person didn't put a clean sheet of paper down for me to lie down on. That's just gross. . She did a rush job and hacked into my eyebrows leaving a hole and there was no one else in the salon. Not returning. read more

Annie and her worker are great. They do an excellent job and their salon is very accommodating. They work quickly and can fit you in even if you don't have an appointment. I get a manicure and a pedicure about even 3 weeks and at times I get my hair on my face removed with wax. Depending on the aero requested, prices can be competitive, however, Annie offers discounts frequently. read more

if i can give more the 5 starts i would ! first and foremost very great customer service . i made a appt couple days before and they end up taking us a lil earlier before our appt time. This is A place that's very convenient and also affordable. they took their time and did not rush one bit !!!! thank you Peony Nail Spa for your services! this is my GO-TO NOW !! read more

Piranha Pedi? Um, can I sign up twice? Actually, I did, and dragged my gorgeous, brave boyfriend along with me to get one too. It was his first pedicure (not surprisingly, this guy only shaves when I whine about make out burn. Of course he's not the mani-pedi type), so it was quite exciting. We both got the fish, because when in Rome, you get a fish pedicure. The shop is small and clean, had a cute atmosphere. We both had to have a quick foot rinse before hopping in with the fishes. The fish tank is in the back, and they didn't charge us for the fish treatment (AWESOME). I went first (because there's no way I would let fish go at me after they had been munching on his toesies). The water was lukewarm, and the fish were hungry. They went AT IT. It tickles like crazy. It's so weird to watch because you see a few just chillin around your feet, and then there's some just STARVING and noming away. Anyways, the girl who was helping us was super nice and answered my (now nervous) boyfriend's questions. She told us that everyone gets about ten minutes, and that the fish are more effective when they're fresh. Also, each fish costs about $5, and they had to be imported in. Apparently the fish were too big to be truly effective (um, I disagree) so that's why they didn't charge anymore. She also happily told us about how one woman screamed for 6 minutes straight. I am not gonna lie, I giggled for the first three minutes until I calmed down (my boyfriend ended up holding my hand for a minute because I was freaking out). But it was AWESOME. When my honey got in, he immediately lit up with giggles. It is an incredibly ticklish experience, and it should be on bucket lists everywhere. It is awesome and so cool. After that, we both got in spa chairs and got pedicures. I noticed they mix cuticle oil with lotion, which I have never seen before, but I thought was kind of neat. I really don't know if the fish actually make your feet softer or more exfoliated, but it was an amazing experience and I would definitely recommend it. AND the staff is AWESOME, so sweet, so nice. I love it. read more
