She was super nice up until the moment I asked her to fix these things. It wasn't Helen nor her daughter, I have never seen this lady before. When I asked her if she can clean up the polish a little bit, she proceeded to add polish ONTO MY SKIN TO MAKE IT LOOK EVEN. I then asked her if she can take it off because I already knew I wasn't going to like it. She then wanted me to pay $30. I called Helen over and asked how it was fair for me to pay more than half when I'm not even leaving with my toes done. She then said "Fine give me $20 and then you can leave." She then took off my polish with the drill and made me bleed on my toe from how rough she was drilling. I left with all my toes red and irritated.

This has been my go-to place for dip manicures and gel pedicures, but my last few visits have been…read moredisappointing. I went in on Sunday, Jan 26 for a fresh set. I had a feeling my partner might propose that night, and I wanted my nails to look nice. I decided to try gelx for the first time, and I guess this was a huge mistake. It BURNED like no other under the lamp, omg. They looked nice enough though, and the tech warned me it would burn, so I figured it had to be normal. As soon as I got home, I lost my pinky nail. It just fell right off. By the end of the night, I had lost two more nails. Turns out I was right and he DID propose that night lol which is of course wonderful, but I wasn't able to show off my hands for pictures like I wanted (photo included). By Wednesday, even more had fallen off. I called and explained what was going on and they had me in by the end of the week for a redo, this time with dip powder. It was much better overall--my manicurist was sweet and really took her time, even though this was a complimentary service. However, I was a bit disappointed in the general shaping. She applied tips but didn't follow the natural curve of my nail--a few of them curved up quite noticeably, which can cause separation between the real nail and the false nail. As for today, I came in with the inspiration picture included below--sort of a muted pink/neutral French mani with chrome or some sort of high gloss finish. I showed the tech, and she said she's got it. Well, she looks at my toes and asks if she should use those same colors (French with stark white tips and a chrome finish). I say the main color is good for the fingernails, but the tip should be more pink. She nods like she understands. She starts painting my nails and goes in with the same white polish. I figure I should trust the process, but I ask if she's planning to go over the white with something pink. She says no. I'm confused, but I decide it isn't the end of the world if my tips are white. I notice the white tip on my thumb isn't symmetrical. I try to be straightforward and ask for "more white" on the left side. She looks at the nails side by side and brings out a file to adjust the shape. I think maybe she just couldn't understand me very well. She's about to finish it them off with the same silvery chrome I have on my toes, and I make one last attempt to get something close to the picture. I ask if they have a light pink instead. She runs off, comes back, and does a test nail. It looks a bit pinker, so I say we can use it on the rest. By the time I see them all done, I realize it has a pink-GREEN duo chrome shift. Kind of fun, would be good for a Wicked themed set, but sooooo not what I wanted and not what I asked for. I didn't feel like I could say anything because the tech was already rushing off to complete a waxing service. They were busy and I think my appointment put them a bit behind. Another manicurist I'd worked with previously comes over to take a look, and I think she could tell I wasn't happy. She says I should request her next time. She's always done a great job, so I think I'll have to stick with her from now on. Shout-out to Lee! Or maybe it's Lilo, I'm not 100% sure. I used to feel like I could count on this place to always deliver, but now it seems like you have to stick with your regular artists or risk getting a disappointing result. I wish I could turn back time and request dip powder nails from Lilo on the day of my engagement :( it still bugs me that I had such a manicure fail on the one day I really wanted my nails to look their best. Oh well.

I needed a same-day appointment, showed him an inspiration photo, and he did an amazing job. The shape was exactly what I wanted, and the airbrushed design came out beautifully. I originally wanted a more detailed design, but Nathan explained that those are best scheduled during a fill appointment so he has enough time to do them right. I really appreciated his honesty instead of feeling rushed. The appointment was reasonably timed, the pricing was fair, and I left very happy with my nails. It was also nice to see Julie still at the shop. Congratulations to Danny on his retirement, and congratulations to Nathan on this new chapter. If you're looking for a nail tech in Pinole, I definitely recommend giving him a try.

Made an appointment for mani/pedis at 1pm on a Friday - it was my BF's first time. When we arrived…read morewe had to wait for chairs to open - no big deal, this happens. After a few mins, a super friendly woman seated both of us, set me up with a foot soak and began to take care of my BF. During this time 2 more people came into the salon. I watched one woman get seated immediately for her manicure; the other was seated for a pedicure and told to wait. A tech came out to start the manicure then when the other tech was available she headed over to the 2nd woman who came in after us. I had been sitting for nearly 10 min by this point. My BF's tech noticed what I was witnesses and said something. After that one of them reluctantly came over to take care of me. It was a strange vibe and a bit irritating b/c I actually made an appointment and had already been waiting. So that is why I am taking a star away. Aside from that, the quality of the manicure/pedicures was excellent. I opted for a gel pedicure which came out perfect and my BF had a wonderful experience. The woman who took care of him was great.
