I came in for both a manicure and a pedicure, and the quality of work for both was outstanding. The technicians are true professionals--extremely precise with shaping and very attentive to detail. It's rare to find a salon where every service is performed with this level of care. My nails look flawless and the entire experience was relaxing. Definitely my new go-to spot in Lafayette! read more

I tried scheduling an appointment with them twice through ClassPass. Both times, they accepted the booking and then canceled within hours of my scheduled appointment. So, my review is based on their customer service and lack of respect for potential new clients. If you need to get your nails done, I would not recommend booking through ClassPass with this business. They do not seem to value your time and may cancel on you last minute. read more

I am super disappointed to have to post this review but I had such a negative experience here I just had to make sure people know what to expect. I used to think of this salon as the "fancy place" where I would take my daughter when she was little for birthdays and special occasions. Maybe ownership has changed but I went there today and it was not how I remembered. I called for an appointment and told the man on the phone exactly what I wanted. I then came to the appointment and again told the lady exactly what I wanted. While she was working, and pretty much constantly on the phone, it became pretty clear that she didn't know what I wanted. I stopped her and showed her a picture, which she basically ignored. She continued to hack at my nails and file them, apply coat after coat of gel, filing it down, over and over and over. I kept trying to stop her and ask what she was doing but she couldn't be bothered. Finally she was "done" and my nails were not pretty acrylic pink and whites but ragged hacked down stubs. She did apologize for the misunderstanding but proceeded to charge me full price. She didn't even offer to fix it, she simply didn't care. On my way home I stopped to buy nail polish and a nail file to repair the damage,$100 poorer. Will not be back. read more

I came into the shop today, and I must have been in a mood. But the tech that worked in my manicure, was lovely and I truly apologize if I offended. I've just been "abused" too many times by other nail salons (ie: bleeding cuticles, digging too deep into nail bed, etc...), that I got a bit spooked. The way the nail tech handled the situation today, was exemplary of how a professional would handle a situation that was less than comfortable. Thank you for a lovely manicure, and I hope to come back soon. Kelly read more

Relaxing, convenient, and incredibly reliable. Every gel manicure I have received from Pinkies staff has lasted well over 6-8 weeks without a single chip. I'll never go anywhere else. read more

I used to come here twice a month and I brought my mom and grandmother whenever they wanted come. It was such a happy place but I have to say my experience this time was not what I expected. I am thankful they were open today (Easter Sunday) but the lady that did my nails definitely did not want to be there. I always get a design on my ring fingers and after her saying no to several pics, I asked her what she would do and she tried to upsell me with a simple French. Not quite the bright springy design I was asking for. All in all the vibe in the place was quiet, no smiling, and it seemed more like they didn't want to be there (and even if ya don't ya fake it!) And she told me I should go back to the salon I usually go to. I'm going to chalk this up to a holiday Sunday but it'll be a while before I try here again. read more

The last 2x I came here, the nail techs were running late. I made an appointment both times and they were unapologetically 30+ minutes late for a mani/pedi. I would have left the second time, but I was heading out of town and desperately needed my nails done. I cannot continue to go here when they don't respect my time. read more

Tracy and Lucy are so wonderful. Tracy greeted me and got me to a chair immediately. She made sure I was comfy and grabbed Lucy to help with my feet. Everyone is so sweet and nice here. The shop stays busy but they don't let that get in the way. Tracy greeted several ladies by name as they came in and took care of them and me all at same time. #wild I found this place a month or so ago when my regular shop experienced a fire causing them to close. I was getting my car detailed and saw the nail shop, why not? Today was my third trip and I'm sold. Pinkies shall expect my business from here forward and I'm telling my friends. We always like to frequent local shops and Pinkie's has me. Thank you Tracy and Lucy. read more

Too expensive for a 35 minute pedicure. In addition they would not honor my gift certificate. They said it was from the previous owner. Why should that matter...? read more

If you're interested in a quick trip for nail services, this is your place. Granted, I went in with bare nails that only needed a little trim and shaping, but it was super fast. The nail tech was nice and accommodating. I went with a friend who was getting both a manicure and pedi, and they let me sit in one of the pedi chairs so we could chat. It wasn't really a relaxing or luxurious service though, so if you're looking for that experience, try elsewhere. Easy parking right in front. Lots of polish colors to choose from. Appears to be a good place to go to get in and out quickly. It was a bit crowded in there too. Had to maneuver around people to get in and out. They give a small discount if you pay cash. I think for the prices and level of service it's a pretty good deal. read more

My girlfriends took me here before a wedding. It was a large group of us & they were amazing. I now drive 40 minutes each way to get my nails done by Will. He does a fantastic job with shape & they always look great. No one compares! read more

Great place! Really gorgeous and modern inside. Nice ladies who all seem to have great rapport! Lots of laughing and good vibes. My husband's men's mani/pedi was the best he's ever received! And my mani pedi turned out beautifully!!! read more

I had a concerning experience at the Pink's nail salon as the sterilization pouch for instruments appeared opened and nonsterile. Despite requesting a STRERILE pouch, they couldn't provide ONE with sealed instruments and STERILE marked indicates. Given my medical background, I left to ensure hygiene. I do not want to get a nail fungus. It's important for others to be aware and demand sterile practices for their safety. read more

I rank this place a four-star because, although the shaping of my nails is absolutely perfect and the paint job is 99% perfect when the nail tech switched over to my sisters nails she did not use a clean set of nail tools. She use the same nail tools on my sister as she used on me without sterilizing. I think sterilization is key in preventing fungus and other transference of bacteria's from person to person. Other than that I absolutely love my color. I love the paint. They do not use UV lights. BB lights are harmful to your skin so I'm glad they just use vans. But as far as getting acrylics done here I would go somewhere else. It would be a great place for a basic manicure. read more

I love Pinkies, I have gone here for the past few months and havent had a bad experience yet! They are shaped and designed just like the picture I showed. The lady doing my nails was even able to dodge a recent unrelated cuticle injury on my other hand without irritation. They also have been able to fit me in on late notice. Nails here typically last me about a month before one starts to come off. read more

the most painful, bloody , pedi ever. She was rough and drew blood from my cuticle.. I will never go there again

Great spot to get your nails done! Reasonably priced and the employees are very kind. I got a French tip gel manicure and it's lasted for a week and a half. read more

Got a fill and initially thought they were cute till I looked closer when I got in my car. There super messy and uneven. They were already shorter than I wanted but just let it go but it's upsetting that they are also filed bad. These were supposed to be my holiday nails and am pretty disappointed. My pedicure was great though. read more

I have gone here three times over the past 6 weeks and I couldn't be more thankful to have found Ann. She is amazing! She knows so much about nail health and is a perfectionist with her work. I feel comfortable and welcomed in the salon. Everyone there seems so happy and friendly. I already have my next two appointments booked. read more

Pinkies did a great job - the facility was clean and they consistently asked me throughout it I liked everything being done. Definitely a great spot. read more

Been coming here for years..new owners just finished the refreshing remodel. There are always lovely fresh orchids in the room. If you are not in a rush, I highly recommend Penny. Penny doesn't rush, she is very gentle and does excellent work. Wendy gives an awesome massage. Although it's supposed to be more sanitary, I dislike the new disposable blue plastic lining they use for pedicures. Can't be good to add more plastic to our environment. There is a small discount if you pay with cash and they ask you to pay tip by cash. read more

wish i could give a zero but that's not an option. can't say what their manicures are like but their service sucks!! As in, what service? I was in town for a wedding & needed a manicure. Hotel suggested Pinkies, very close by. I went by & there were 3 people in the salon. A customer, the nail stylist working on that customer & another woman lounging in one of the chairs. I stood at the desk for about 45 seconds before the woman lounging got up & came over to me. i asked about getting a manicure. She told me no one was available & to come back later. I needed somethings from CVS so I did that & came back about 45 minutes later. Same R people read more

Excellent nail salon. You get what you pay for, and this salon is nothing short of perfect. The ladies are nice, great service, clean shop. All the ladies there do nails exceptionally. I leave feeling like a princess every time. read more

Run! Run away as fast as you can from this horribly unhygienic salon. The Contra Costa Health Department should shut them down. I had a Groupon for a Brazilian. Big mistake. The technician double dipped (!) and did not use gloves. I honestly don't know which is more disgusting. Her technique was AWFUL and she re-waxed the same area several times. She felt it necessary to hold my inner and outer labia with her bare fingers. Wrong! I've had countless brazilians and never had someone need to to hold the inner folds. The wax she used was probably the cheapest you can purchase and it hurt badly. It pulled on my skin and left me bleeding in several places. Yes, bleeding and here she is double dipping. I left terrified of having contracted Herpes, HPV, Warts, Molluscum Contagium, Gonorrhea or Chlamydia. Afterwards I went straight to CVS and purchased antiseptic spray, Hydrogen Peroxide and antibiotic ointment in a vain attempt to thwart off any STD infections. I've spoken to my OBGYN afterwards, and none of that would have helped anyway. Avoid Pinkies ladies and do not use this salon for any type of waxing! read more

I give this place a solid 3.5. stars based off the pedicure I received there. Upon walking in I noticed the set up which felt spacious however it was quite bright so not a super relaxing atmosphere. There is a decent selection of polishes. They make you pay first which was strange but whatever. I paid $29 for an average pedicure. For almost $30 I want a little more, maybe a longer massage, better chairs, you get the idea. I can pay $23 down the street and get the same service, but I was already here and didn't have a lot of time so I stayed. They let you choose which lotion you want which was different. The pedi last about 30 minutes. I would go back if the price was right, somewhere between $23-$25 is my limit. read more

Worst dip manicure I've had in a long time. My nails were cut down way too short and some of them were filed uneven. The nail technician was very rough with the filing tool and cut me in several places on my cuticles. A few days into my manicure the clear topcoat started to peel up on a few of the nails. They are pretty expensive compared to other shops on the area. I've had my nails done every two weeks for 25 years and know a good nail technician and manicure, this is not the place. read more

Theresa is the best! I highly recommend this business. Very professional and clean. Everyone in the salon is very nice and professional. I appreciate their kindness and they serve many age groups. The salon also does waxing. Great place! Give it a try! read more

Went in to have my first experience with this salon and with dipped nails and I received lumpy blobs on my nails. To top that there was nothing gentle or pampering about the experience. My cuticles were bleeding and now I have shooting pains up my thumb, right in time for my vacation. My natural nails were long and healthy and trimmed down to nothing. So disappointing and I paid a fortune for it. read more

DO NOT GO HERE. This place is a nightmare. I went in yesterday for a full set of acrylics and a gel pedicure. The lady that did my nails was answering calls the whole entire time while doing them, she kept on messing up my shape and had no idea how to make them pointy.. I kept asking her to fix it but all she did was make them worse and worse... 3 hours and $105 dollars later and I walked out very very very unsatisfied with my manicure. If you do nails you should probably know a little about shaping and shapes in general... I would not recommend this salon to anyone and I would never go back again.. read more

Will has been doing my nails for almost 25 + years when he started in concord. After he left concord I followed him to his next shop. I was so happy when I found out will and Tracy we're now in Lafeyette. They do an amazing job on my nails definitely worth the 30 minute drive and bridge toll to get them done. read more
