I have been going here for the past 5 years now or so and personally the longest I have been with a nail salon! hence this mean quality of work along with service here is awesome! Kim and the ladies here do a great job! I enjoy coming in as I know I will get great quality nails and able to catch up with the girls and a hook up on a fresh new set of claws! Sunni is my girl and I have been rocking with her for years! Tell her I sent you so she can also make your nails as fly as mines! you can thank me later. They have a full salon, hair, nails, brows, lashes, & more! come and check em out for yourself! read more

I have going to Salon du Monde for over 15 years. Just recently returned after having some health issues to Kim at Salon du Monde for new hair design, color, gel pedi and manicure. I finally realize and appreciate what a true artist Kim and her team are!! I feel like a new woman!! Love their work and especially Kim's as she is an artist and the best in the business! read more

I have been going here for years. I have haircuts, color, highlights and full facial waxing done. I never leave unhappy. It is a happy vibe. The girls are professional and pricing is appropriate. read more

One year later from when I posted my first review for Salon Du Monde and I'm still a very satisfied customer. Sunni has been amazing and always works hard to make sure she gives you the design & outcome you're hoping for. Sunni is super efficient too but doesn't compromise quality. The owner Kim is nice too but what makes this a place to come back to is the loyalty and commitment of her team. Sunni, & Tammy. They maintain high standards and I appreciate that. The other day I got my nails, toes & eyebrows done by Sunni and I was in & out of there in a little over an hour. I still highly recommend going to this place. Enjoy! read more

Kim is awesome! She is so good and patient with cutting my toddlers hair. He doesn't like getting his hair cut and would cry, but Kim always makes sure my son is comfortable. She does a scissor cut on him since he's scared of a razor clipper. She's so good with him, I really appreciate it. read more

Love this place! Nice ambiance, Very Friendly! Full service: nail, hair, message, Tatoo removal....! read more

Kim, Tammy and the other ladies are the best here! They take great care of you, give you exactly what you want + they are flexible with timing which I love so much. Give these beautiful ladies your time and you won't regret it. Much love! read more

We were just walking around Niles after a failed attempt to visit the Farmer's Market and came across this salon. My bf treated us to manis/pedis and surprisingly, this place is very reasonably priced! The aunties doing our nails/toes were so sweet and mine actually recommended that I do an almond shape instead of square based off the shape of my fingers. Man, I've been doing the wrong shape all my life! So glad they pointed it out! I think I might have found a new nail salon to visit. read more

Salon Du Monde - My first time getting Almond shape! - Nail Salons Near Me - Fremont, California

My friend and I have made a habit of visiting here on the recommendation of her friend, starting this past summer. Sunni is amazing! A true artist with the nail art. Every time, she surprises me with the cute stuff she can fit on my tiny little baby-sized nails (a challenge for a nail artist, but one that is met with aplomb!). The salon has many other services, including haircuts, waxing, etc. We usually get the UV gel nails for mani and pedi. They last a solid 3 weeks, really longer but that's about when my nails get too long. They keep up on the current nail art trends and are patient with those "custom" requests too! I'm glad I found this little gem in Niles. read more

Love love love this place!!! Tammy is my favorite and does an amazing pedicure! I love the affordable prices for the great quality experience. Also, there is another lady who works there but I don't know her name but she does great waxing! Love this place. :) read more

Don't visit if you are a new customer. They won't entertain. I had booked an appointment and i was on time, still i had to wait for 30mins. After that the lady who assisted me was doing half job on me and another half job on another customer (this was on a weekday ). This was not the case with (may be) regular customers. They just walked in straight and the service provided was totally different. The price is reasonable but the service quality is bad. They didn't clean the cuticles for manicure and $20 for polish change even when there is no polish on the nails. Overall my experience was bad and would skip this place. read more

Excellent service ! Nice employees and very clean environment.. Great vibe . Reasonable prices . They do up to date designs , polish, makeup , and tattoos eyebrows!! See Kim! read more

Salon day for Mama and I. We both got gel toes and dip nails Apparently dip is supposed to be better for your nails. Good experience and great price. Friendly aunties take their time and pay attention to detail! See you in a few weeks! read more

I'm being generous and giving them two stars because the girls kindly took us when they were already busy, but it was all downhill from there. 1. I watched the woman before me leave the pedicure chair and watched as the girl drained the tub and then asked me to get in. I then asked for the tub to be cleaned: she says she had rinsed it so it was fine... NO, IT IS NOT. I restated that I wanted it CLEANED, not rinsed. The gal huffed but did it. 2. I then got in and tried to use the massage remote attached to the chair, but its broken. 3. The girl pushing back my cuticles was more concerned with looking at her coworker and their conversation than focusing on my feet. She kept hurting me but I was ignored until I finally told her to stop. 4. She then quickly (and sloppily) applied two coats of polish before putting on a top coat and moving to the next client. The only reason I go out for mani/pedi is because I want something done better than i can do at home. This was a disappointment and a waste of money considering I'm going to have to go home and fix it. I dont care how reasonable this place is: save your money, invest in a nail kit and do it yourself. Trust me, you'll be better off. read more

Full service salon. Very competitive pricing, even discounts. Disclaimer - I have only had nail service here. I have been here a few times, most recently deciding I'm not going anywhere else! Pedicures are awesome. Sunnie has done my gel nails each time. She's very meticulous, careful and attentive to any requests. Highly recommend visiting here. And the ladies are so much fun they laugh and joke with each other and customers. It's like hanging out at your friends house getting pampered. read more

The lady barely took time cutting and painting my nails. It was as if I was an inconvenience. She messed up the shape and didn't even clip them right and then put hella oil and lotion on that it was getting everywhere. Save your money and go somewhere else. read more

If the full review is TLDR, here are the highlights: Don't go here. *Staff: Rude & unprofessional. *Experience: Poor quality; scared for the health of nails. Waste of time. *Product: Polish is already damaged / peeling (gel nails typically last 2 weeks. It's been a few days.) Two of us arrived at 3:10 for two gel nails. We left at 4:50. This was a such bad experience for both of us. If you have an enemy, bring them here. *** Full Review (grab a snack; it's long) Salon Du Monde. Where do I even begin? I'm currently sitting here at the manicure table. Why? Waiting for someone to pay attention to my friend. We both came in a little after 3 pm and we've been here for over an hour. (Edit: It's now 4:30 and the end is almost in sight. Almost. Please, I just want to leave.) (Edit 2: I'm debating whether to leave my friend behind. It's 4:40 and we're still with the light & now there's the cuticle clippers again [??]. I'm so confused.) Counting all the time my person spent on me (there were many long breaks as she tended to other customers, like the lady next me & her nails, or waxing someone's eyebrows, or ringing someone up at the register, or cutting someone's hair), my gel manicure only took like 15 minutes. (Edit: Looking back, we should have taken it as a bad omen when the lady next to me was annoyed with the staff. Please take this as yours.) Back to the staff person that did my nails: Did she look at my hand as she filed or clipped the cuticle? Only for a second, as she scanned the rest of the salon. Did she ask what shape I wanted my nails? No - why would she? I have some nice square nails now. This whole time I've preferred rounded nails. Wow. I've always wanted my stubby fingers to look stubbier. Did she really pay attention to how the paint was on my nails? Nah. Takes too much time. Paying attention to something else is a better option, clearly. The price on the sign outside lists gel nails at $15. I paid $18. Why? Oh, because. I asked her to redo the accent nail. Why? Oh. Because. Their color wheels aren't accurate. I paired a nice blue & sparkly gold together. The blue turned out to be a flat grey, which, in my opinion, doesn't pair well with gold. She told me that I'd have to pay extra to get it fixed. We then settled on having her paint the grey over the gold since it'd be cheaper for me and less time for her. There are see-through patches on the other grey nails because there aren't six layers of paint on the nail. I don't even like having grey nails - I've done it before & I'm not into it. (Edit: There are gold flakes from the original paint job now appearing. How. How is this happening.) (EDIT: Actually. The price for a gel manicure is $18. The gel polish change is $15. But it's listed as gel nail on the sign. Which. Is. Confusing. I ended up asking about the difference in price and at first, they said it was because I changed color. But then they said that the mani is $18, the polish friggin change is at $15. They tell me to look at their sign and tell me it's written so clearly. Might I suggest: No. Piss off. I work in customer service, they have none. Don't bother giving them your money.) This place is a joke. In the time that I've written this, my friend's manicure has started, but her person decided to take a break and give some guy a haircut. She finished the haircut and now is back with my friend & removed her old gel polish incorrectly. Also. Fun facts. The washing machine is going & sounds like the someone wading through a calf-deep puddle. The chemical smell is STRONG here, also. It's given me a headache. Now a vacuum is going. Perfect. She's run it into my chair and the desk like three time. This is very helpful to my headache, thank you. The employees don't really talk to you except to confirm the number of your color from the wheel (um, hello; you took the color wheel from me after I pointed out the color I liked) OR to tell you to keep switching your hand in and out of the gel dry light at random times. Also! These lights are glued / taped to shoe boxes. Yes, this place reeks of professionalism. I'm never coming here again and highly recommend that you don't bother coming here either. I was tempted by the price and convenience of it, but please. Walk down the street to Pretty Nail or find another nail salon, guys. It's not worth it. Also, I'm still sitting here and wrote it all while my friend was waiting & getting her nails done. I've edited it about 8 times, adding in different details from this super lovely experience. You need to know all about it. I have too much time on my hands. If you value your time & health of your nails, do not bother coming. Final edit: We left at 4:50. This was a bad experience for both of us. If you have an enemy, bring them here. read more

Great shop, super friendly staff and awesome prices!!!! The only thing you have to be careful for is that they don't sneak gel polish on instead of regular polish. This place is very very big on putting gel polish on so make sure you make it very clear you don't want it and won't be paying for it unless you want it. They have done this two times now, the first time I told them no and they still did it so I didn't tip, this time I was too busy talking to a friend to realize it. read more

Salon Du Monde - Acrylic full set with gel polish - $35 - Nail Salons Near Me - Fremont, California

Exactly why I do not like going to random spots. I was too tried on Friday evening to take a further drive to rosehip. Ended paying $20 for a 20 minute pedicure... Literally. Another spa that tries to rush you for a dollar. The place is dead, mine as well do a good treatment and try to make a customer happy. However, the people there are regulars, so they'll keep the business alive. I had to tell her after areas she missed. The lotion was thick like coco butter and smells like crap. Glad I bought my own nail polish. read more

I've been getting the "dip gel" they offer and it's the BEST. I only see Sunni she's absolutely AMAZING, but the other workers are always very sweet. I'm only taking away one star because I'm such a clean freak and it could be a little more put together. But you won't be disappointed if you see Sunni! read more

Salon Du Monde - This is EXACTLY 3 weeks of "dip gel" I'm getting them redone in two days but Sunni - Nail Salons Near Me - Fremont, California

Service is fast and they honored my appointment time I didn't have to wait the standard 15 minutes. The selection for the dip is varied and I was in and out of there fairly quickly. I like that they didn't soak my fingers in the acetone. But I wish they did a chrome or ombre for the dip. read more

I constantly tell coworkers, ladies at restaurants, and women at the gym where I get my nails done (they ask!) I almost don't want to share this secret with the women of the Bay Area because this place is such a gem. I am a HUGE fan of "dip gel" which is a gel that requires no UV light and allows my nails to grow longer and stronger. Seriously awesome and professional women who know what they are doing. read more

I walked in asking if they can take a walk in for a gel mani and a pedicure. I was clear that's what I wanted. They said yes and when I sat down for the pedicure I asked to see colors for the gel mani as she did my toes. She said ya ya if I have time. I said oh if you don't have time I need to go somewhere else no big deal. She tried convincing me to stay saying maybe she will have time. I said no it's ok I'm not upset but I need to go elsewhere. She said fine leave and walked away ignoring everything else I said. So rude and unprofessional. I will never go back there and I will make sure to let people know not to go. read more

Another winner on Niles. A bit pricier than neighboring salons, $17 spa pedis, but I guess you pay for the nicer facilities. A ton of regular clientele, go earlier, or you'll be stuck waiting, waiting. read more

My daughter came here to get her nails done and her cuticles are red and swollen. Avoid this place like the plague.

I had the wonderful pleasure of Salon du Monde today. Mimi did my Manicure and Brenda did my Pedicure . Both Ladies were beautiful and very attentive to making me feel clean, neat, groomed perfectly. Brenda massaged my feet and calves very well too. The charges are small so I gave them a big tip...and I will be returning...they made me feel new. read more

Truly one of the most amazing salons ever. The employees are so sweet and caring. Prices and their work is so amazing. Definitely recommend coming here!!! read more

Salon Du Monde - Full set - Nail Salons Near Me - Fremont, California

Came here the other day with my mom for a little mother daughter time. This is the first time we went to the salon, we are normally regulars at another place but the employees were often more rude and ignored us so we decided to find another place. Thankfully because of yelp I found this place. We came on a Friday afternoon we were greeted by all the ladies and were seen immediately. I was amazed by how big this salon is and how much services they do. I also loved how they asked us for our name and had a conversation with us, they truly have costumer service down. Another thing that won me over is how the lady who did my pedicure got all my ingrown toenails out (yeah TMI but since I was in high school I've been getting them because of soccer). Overall I would definitely come back here again, this is now going to be my new default salon when I go back home. For the prices and services they offer you can't find it better anywhere else! read more

Very disappointed by the fact that we were just left sitting there. I have never been to a salon where they didn't take payment directly after my service. I know you need to sit there and wait for your polish to dry, but I think an hour is unreasonable. I had to ask if we were ok to leave. Boy o boy, they were on point When it came time to collect their money. I misspoke when I said they were professional read more

I have for years added nail art on my fingernails for something to talk about with the children I work with. I like unique art and this salon does not disappoint. Kim is a wonderful artist and she always humors me and makes the art I want happen on my 10 fingers or toes. I have a had so many different designs that are represented by the season, holiday or my latest craze. I was a nomad and wandering to many nail salons until I found this salon and Kim. If you want nail art at a reasonable price this is your salon. read more

Worst place to get your nails done! If you just need a simple manicure, pedicure it's a great place but if you want something more, don't come here. This has been my second time here with a different girl and both can't seem to work well with nail shape (almond or round) and they always seem to mess up on my acrylic. Every other nail will be chunky because of too much acrylic powder. This time, I was told that they do chrome nails and I left with white nails because the girl couldn't do them without making it look blotchy. Waste of time and money! read more

My mom, sister, and I have been coming here for like a decade. No, they can't do trendy minimalist bullshit or have an updated color selection. But the women working there are so sweet and the prices can't be beat ($17 for a pedicure!). So come here for the ease and price. read more

Came in not too long ago to give this place another try, my opinion has not changed AT ALL. Like many others that have had the misfortune of coming here, I was burnt,picked at,and cut. Left with my fingers sore and my nails filed horribly,and my polish plopped on. I looked like I had marshmallows on my fingertips. I walked into some of the antique stores after and one of the shopkeepers guessed I had gone to Salon Du Monde. She said that happened to her every time she ever tried to go there and that she's pretty sure she got a staph infection from there once. Will NEVER give this place another shot. These people are trained horribly, both in nail technique and customer service skills. read more

This place is the best. They are so friendly and inviting that they make the shop feel like home. Great small talk, lots of laughs and awesome haircuts!!!! Ask for Brenda, she has great scissor hands. They also have provided great outdoor stations to serve you during covid. I felt like I was in Hawaii with the amazing environment they have created outback. Give them a shot, I'm confident you will love this spot!!! read more

Took my sister who has Down Syndrome here to get her nails and toes done as she usually will not let any of us help her with them. The ladies we so sweet and gentle with her and kept checking in to make sure she was doing good. With the pedicure they soak your feet, cut the nails, push back the cuticle, lotion up the foot and leg, remove dry skin from foot and paint the nail. My sister has pretty dry skin and her feet looked great after. The manicure comes with a nail soak and cleaning, cuticle pushback, cut and paint. My sister felt so good after and was smiling like we had not seen her smile in a long time (just moved here). We will definitely be back!! read more
