Tammy did a great job on my builder gel. She was so efficient and helped me pick out the perfect color, which is sometimes so hard to do. I'll definitely be back! read more

I've been looking for a place to do my nails, and my cousin highly recommended I go to RYU. The place has a good vibe, cozy, and super welcoming. I booked my appointment with Minh Minh, who my cousin swears by, and I get it now. She has a really warm personality, easy to talk to, made the whole appointment feel relaxed. I had a hydrangea nail art design in mind, and she delivered. The work was clean, detailed, and had some personal touches. Overall really solid experience. I'll be back. read more

My gel nails weren't quite as good this time around. My left hand had a lot of bubbling and cracking (see pic from right out of the salon). Still a very clean, relaxing environment and friendly service. But the mani wasn't quite as tidy as last time, which was disappointing. read more

Minh Minh and her team always do an amazing job at RYU. I really want to shine some light on her & her staff for handling a challenging situation that happened Saturday 12/20 with such grace and professionalism. There was a customer who was beyond unhappy with their service. Instead of Minh Minh getting upset she was calm & listened carefully to resolve the issue. It was impressive to watch her and her staff maintain composure to make sure the customer was heard. Even when the dissatisfied customer was making a scene in front the whole salon. The staff did not act aggressive or rude when handling this tough situation. Regardless of witnessing this altercation. Loyal clients at RYU have class & respect. From my Gel-X to now Builder Gel manicures. YES the green cat-eye is my natural nail length due to builder gel ! The quality and salon service is IMPECCABLE! It's a great establishment to RELAX & DESTRESS! Can't wait for my next set read more

Stopped here to get my gel x removed. Did not have an appointment and found it because it was close to my place, and they were so nice! They were able to squeeze me in and took great care of my nails. She was very precise with her polish placement and took the time to make sure my nails looked good. The place was cute, and the prices were reasonable! They even gave me a little gift bag for the holidays. Will definitely be coming back here in the future! read more

My technician Natalie was very kind and walked me through all of my options before starting on my nails. She was very considerate, asking me if I liked my nails at every step of the way, and I love the way they turned out!!! I got gel-x with a design and they charged me $100 for the service, which is relatively cheaper than other salons in our area! I've gotten so many compliments on my nails, I love them! It was also very serene and welcoming inside, they offered me water and had tv playing! I'll definitely come back to Ryu for my next manicure :) read more

Second time! This time my nail tech, Tammy, did an amazing job with the Cat Eye nails I have been wanting to try! I thought it was going to be GelX nails again but she did acrylics/dip this time around. I am pretty quiet when it comes to getting my nails done as I use it as relaxation time and she did a great job I almost fell asleep LOL The magnetic process is super cool with the Cat Eye nails and it's so pretty! Next time I would get other colors done. read more

Worst service ever. I stopped by due to my hair salon being close by. Worst gel x and pedicure of my life. I am going on vacation in 2 days and have to figure out how I will fix this. My nails look like balloons and my pedicure was the most rushed ever I will have to go home and fix on my own. I showed the worker up front and she saw how messed up my nails were. Still charged me full price just said I can come back on Sunday. I leave on vacation I cannot come back Sunday. I will never return to RYU nor recommend it. read more

RYU Nail Bar - LUMPY HUGE THICK NAILS - Nail Salons Near Me - Dublin, California

*I had my nails done here, and by the fourth day, several of them had already broken at the tips. I went back for a repair, but I was told the technician who did my nails wasn't there. A few days later, I called to make an appointment with the same technician, but I was told she was too busy and another technician could do the repair. I preferred to wait for the original technician. When I called again, I found out they wanted to charge me $8 per nail for the repair. I don't think it's fair to charge customers for fixing nails that started breaking only four days after the service. I expected them to stand behind their work. Unfortunately, this experience was very disappointing. I won't be coming back, and I'll be choosing a different nail salon in the future. read more

I am not much for writing reviews, but this place deserves one. I just had one of the best nail bar experiences ever. The owners and staff are so kind. I love that it's a mother-daughter duo that own this place, and love supporting women-run business. They had donuts, sparkling waters, and gifts for customers for mothers' day: I left with a beautifully designed and curated gift bag with a very nice glass iced coffee cup with glass straw, and mini electric nail fan. Tammy did a builder gel mani for me with a neutral cat eye design . I've been doing dip for the last few years and she recommended it. I love it so much. Linh did a fantastic job on my gel pedicure and he gave a good massage too. They went out of their way to make me feel welcome and get me the exact color and style I wanted and they even surprised me with a coffee from next door. I will definitely be back and bring friends and family in the future. Highly recommend. read more

RYU Nail Bar - Pink cat eye by Kimmy ! - Nail Salons Near Me - Dublin, California

Not sure how to express my gratitude to the RYU Nail Bar. It started with a phone call, inquiring if they accommodate someone with a disability and using a transport chair. The female on the other side of the phone, Sophia, with no hesitation, said "of course we can accommodate you!" Just then, an appointment reminder text for 4pm popped up on my phone. As soon as my husband pushed me in, friendly faces greeted us and made sure I was comfortable. Everyone there made adjustments and bent over backwards to assist me in being able to get my feet into the basin. Tears started flowing down my face as I couldn't believe that a nail shop would do all this for me. From Rose, who took care of my manicure, to Anne, who serviced my pedicure, they both were very sympathetic and crying with me the whole time I was there. My husband and I have called around to several shops, only to be told they are unable to accommodate or service clients in wheelchairs. RYU Nail Bar truly provides exceptional service and care to actually help me. Anne was such a sweetheart and we truly became close with the crew there. Thank you, Sophia, for saying YES in accommodating me. The whole salon, staff and atmosphere is about more than friendship, it's family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! read more

I started getting my hair & nails done with Minh Minh ever since she was operating from her home salon years ago so this review is looooong overdue! I live in SF and commute all the way to East Bay because Minh JUST THAT GOOD! Not only is she the sweetest person you'll ever meet, she is meticulous and thorough. She actually listens and cares about what you is it that you're asking and executes it perfectly every time! NAIL I always get the Builder Gel/ Hard Gel Overlay whenever I see Minh Minh for my hair touch up. The color selection at RYU is amazing and they're always up to date with the latest trends. What I love most about the way she does it is that she doesn't apply hard gel too thick & she doesn't grind off too much of my natural nail off, leaving the nail bed still healthy. If your nails are brittle or have a habit of biting your nails, I'd recommend getting Builder Gel! HAIR I discovered Minh Minh on my Instagram feed (talk about targeted ads working am I right?), made an appointment and never looked back. I always ask for Dimensional Balayage as this is easy to maintain and grows out very natural. Minh Minh's blending skills are one of a kind & the reason why I keep coming back to her. Although I live in SF, I will always make the drive out to East Bay because I will not let anyone else touch my hair! RYU Nail Bar is spacious & clean. I'm so proud of her for opening her own salon! Her work is finally getting more recognition and Minh Minh deserves all her flowers. If you're into good nails, good vibes, and supporting women owned businesses, make your way to RYU nail bar! Trust me, you won't regret it! P.S. the boba spot next door is also family owned, what's better than hair & nails? HAIR, NAILS, AND BOBA!! :) read more

RYU Nail Bar - Short almond gel x - Nail Salons Near Me - Dublin, California

I visited back in February and had my nails done by Tammy, she was so kind, professional, and made my first builder gel experience super smooth. What impressed me most is the retention of trying builder gel. My nails have not lifted or chipped at all in over 2 months! I also got my babylights touched up by Minh Minh, and she was absolutely amazing--so welcoming, attentive, and down to earth. She really listened to what I wanted and made the whole experience feel personalized and comfortable. The final result was stunning--the color and dimensions looked soft, natural, and blended beautifully with my hair. Highly recommend Tammy and Minh Minh, if you want long-lasting, beautiful results and a genuinely great experience! read more

I throughly enjoyed my first time there & will absolutely be back again next month. read more

I did not reach out to the salon and was planning on going back in June during my next appointment. I had actually used a file to shape my nails from the round shape to more of an almond shape (badly). However, I was shocked because MinhMinh reached out and asked me to come in to redo my nails for me. She refilled my nails and redid the whole set. She even was a sweetheart and let me pick a new color because the bright blue was bothering me. I've never had someone from a salon reach out like this and make it right. It's so clear how much Minh Minh cares about the work that she does and the pride she has in making sure her customers are satisfied. I don't have to go back in June. This level of accountability and professionalism makes this hands down THE nail place to go to and most likely my future nail place. When I went back to the salon, everyone was friendly and pleasant. Nobody was rude, and everyone took an interest in making sure the customers were happy. It didn't matter if it was a returning customer or someone who was a walk in. read more

ZERO STARS - absolutely terrible nail service. You can see for yourself with the photos. They did my sisters nails (who is a minor) and when I called to ask them to fix the nails, the person on the phone said "if she had a problem with the nails she should've said something" I said "well she's a child, of course she doesn't want to be rude" and the nail salon associate said "okay let me call my manager" and when I called back she said "I'm too busy right now I'm not going to fix her nails. Post whatever you want on google and yelp! I don't care." And I said "are you sure you don't want to ask your manager Ming Ming like you said?" And she said "no" and hung up. When I showed up to the salon, the nail technician walked up aggressively towards my minor sister but I intervened because I was not going to let her physically or verbally attack a minor. read more

First time at Ryu and they nailed it! I asked for gel-x in a neutral color; but at the last minute decided to get nail art (the zodiac for my kids).

RYU Nail Bar - Nail Salons Near Me - Dublin, California

I went in on a Friday morning with an appt after booking through instagram messaging (10/10 for ease). I saw their instagram and wanted to try out a new nail salon. I was greeted with a smile and the facility is clean as they're fairly new. I originally set my appt for a regular manicure, but was convinced to do gel. I normally do gel but haven't done my nails in a while and just wanted to be gentle but went with gel anyway because of the longevity of it. The reason for 2 stars: When my cuticles were getting cleaned up, I felt my skin being tugged a little too hard and it didn't feel very gentle. within 2 days, I had 2 nails already chopping and the gel was lifting. In less than a week, I have 5 nails chipping which shouldn't be happening with good quality gel. I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately will not be back because I don't think it's quite quality polish. read more
