Diane is amazing. She fixed my bad nail and saved me from a doctor visit. She takes her time and never rushes to just finish.

Very satisfied with this nail salon. Love coming here because they make you feel like family. Make me feel comfortable and relaxed. It's really a relaxing time for a mom to take a break 100 PERCENT RECOMMEND!!!!!!!!! read more

Pathetic service, I got bad cuts and was bleeding. Blood was not stopping so that lady put some glue on it to make it worst. The 2 cuts are clearly visible in pictures how bad it was. I'll never recommend this place. Took $30 for just nail filling and putting polish on, no hand massage nothing. Never going again. read more

Okay I'm gonna tell it like it is. This shop is different in that it lacks the "spa" atmosphere. But really I don't care for "spa" service. I'm sure as heck not paying for one. This place provides cheap clean service and you can't ask for much more than that. It's a family run business and they've been around for years. I love supporting local businesses like this so I am glad they are so good at what they do. Really love that they use disposable files/buffers as well as bag their foot spas for pedicures (only place I know that does this). Not gonna lie I've cheated on Silk Tek Nail before and have always come running back. read more

Had a really great experience walking in this salon by chance. It looked clean, didn't smell of nail polish at all. They took me immediately and I had a fast pedicure but really well done! It even Included a nice foot massage at the end. I will definetely go back! read more

Silk-Tek Nail Care - Happy with the services and specially with these beautiful nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Fremont, California

I came into Silk-Tek on a Wednesday evening with no appointment. The two women working greeted me warmly and were happy to be of assistance. Though they were friendly, I was not impressed with the rest of their customer service. I was debating on whether to get shellac, acrylic, or silk wraps. My issue was that my nails were already very brittle so I wasn't sure if acrylic or silk wraps were the best way to go. The woman kept pushing for me to get shellac from the beginning after I mentioned I wanted acrylic. She kept discouraging me from getting acrylic and I felt like she was only doing this so she did not have to spend a lot of time doing my nails. Lucky for her, I decided on shellac since it was the "healthier" option for my dry, brittle nails. I wanted a pedicure as well and got frustrated when both women kept trying to push color suggestions on me. I decided to disregard their suggestions since it wasn't what I wanted at all. The pedicure wasn't even a very good one- they only had one chair and kept it for someone else who was coming in after me. Instead the woman sat on a rolling stool and just had me dip my feet in and out of water. I didn't think it was too big of a deal, but I was disappointed by the experience. If you're not familiar with shellac- it involves a lot of layers and putting your hands under the UV light multiple times. After the lady put on the second coat of color...she started spraying my nails with alcohol. I was a little confused because I noticed she had not put on the top coat, which helps protect the color. Then she started wiping it with the swabs and insisted she was done. I noticed the color was coming off and pointed it out to her. She tried folding the swab pads inconspicuously and I had to motion towards it and open it to show her. Only then did she admit she did not put on the top coat and had to redo the color and top coat. Can you believe that? She actually tried to convince me that the color was not coming off. My nails turned out well and I was happy with the end result. However, it has been 5 days since I got my nails done and shellac is suppose to last about 3 weeks. Tell me why my nails are fading from the top? I have had shellac done on a number of occasions from other salons and have never experienced this. I don't even want to bother to call them and complain because the service was terrible and I have concerns about the cleanliness of the shop. They were eating before I got there and didn't bother to wash their hands. Some of the tools they grabbed out seemed to be dirty and they would put it back in the drawer and fish for another one. By far, this was the worst nail salon experience I have had. read more

I'm so happy about my nails! Diane suggested that I remove my gel acrylics and get shellac, which is just gel polish cured with UV light on my REAL nails. I haven't seen my real nails in over 3 years and it was the best decision to remove the fake ones, it feels so good and natural. See pic: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/silk-tek-nail-care-fremont?select=x8fG5STt2SammKwqQlljkg#U94IPfQp54DiWCm0b-C0cg The shellac lasts about 2-3 weeks looking shiny and new but I can last up to 4 weeks max with no issues. Diane is very attentive and pays a great amount of detail to my nails, but you've gotta come in expecting a 1.5hr appointment with her! read more

They were very detailed but I did not have a great experience as both my thumbail and a final nail were hurt during the Mani and Pedi. She appiled some gel on my thumbnail to stop the bleeding but it did not help. I would never go back here as they did not apologize for the blunder and l left the nail spa in pain. read more

In love with this place. I nails look amazing! I love how it doesn't have a nasty smell you get a nail salon as soon as you walk in. Diane made sure all my nails had exactly the same shape & length before applying the nail polish. I love it and it has only been an hour sin d my set and I've already told 3 people of how amazing this place is. I will definitely be back. read more

Yesss ! Finally found a place that does amazing SILK WRAPS The wait wasn't to long at all due to me doing a walk-in and NOT SCHEDULING FOR MY FIRST TIME. The setting is very airy, clean, organized. Manicurist are kind and sweet upon entering If you're looking for a nail salon to truly relax and get a mani/pedi WORTH YOUR BUCKS this is the place I will be a regular from now on for my silk wraps and gel pedi read more

My dinosaur feet haven't seen the light of day in 10 years. They weren't pretty and they are very very sensitive. Len was my nail technician and she handled my feet and my anxiety very well! I was squirming and pretty sure having a borderline panic attack. Anyone who can handle me and my desert sand paper feet deserves a metal! This place made a very unpleasant thing bearable. I will be back and hopefully less distraught! Thank you Len! read more

Bad experience with full set and pedicure Left bleeding and cut up with pedicure my pedicure looked horrible like a 5 year old did it My full set was sloppy and shaped horrible also got cut many times Yes they are cheap but horrible at doing nails Not worth it because ur wasting money on shitty nails read more

Well, I have been going to this nail shop off and on for about 18 years. My mother and use to go here together before her passing in 2013. My mother PJ would only let Michele touch her nails every three weeks. The only reason I ever stop goi g is that I live in Castro Valley, I keep trying to find a place with the same customer and nail care, I just can't! Not in Hayward, Castro valley San Leandro, Pleasanton or Dublin. So Silk N nail n Tek I'm on my way back. read more

When you call for an appointment you have a 50/50 chance that the staff may be ready for you when you arrive on time. When calling for an appointment, I asked "tell me what you have available." The owner stated, come at 6:45. I showed up at 6:45 and waitied until 7:10 before walking out. Both the owner and the other manicurist were no where near finishing by the time I left. If you do not have time, tell me - do not tell me to show up when you have clients This is too bad becuase Michelle is a wonderful manicurist. She does great work and is very nice. It is too bad her boss has no concept of customer service. read more

This is my favorite nail salon in the Fremont area. If I'm in Fremont and I need a mani or pedi, this is my preferred salon. Here, the girls (and guy!) have all done amazingly thorough work, and they take their time to do it right. I am a stickler for trimmed cuticles, and they make sure to get every last skin-tag cut. This was also the first salon where I ever experienced nail buffing, and I love the shine that this service provides. I also very much enjoy the shaping of my nails. This salon fixed a toenail that used to grow in, simply in the way they shaped my toenails. Awesome! The one drawback: as I said, they take their time, and even if you have appointment, you are very likely to wait. But they are well worth it! read more

Michelle is AMAZING!! New Location/ New Address; 37485 Fremont Blvd, #D, Fremont Ca, 94536. Happy Easter! Love my pretty toes!

If you want gel nails that look amazing and last, ask for Diane. She is the owner. Pros: 1. They take cuticle cleaning seriously so that you do not get lifts and bubbles under the polish. 2. The foot baths are lined with plastic bags so you never get anything from other clients 3. They speak perfect English and understand when you want something done your way 4. They make you feel like family there Cons: 1. They only have 1 pedicure chair so most of the time you will sit in a regular chair with the portable foot bath. This is the only reason I did not dive it a five star rating. If I did not move an hour away, I would still go there. Miss this place! read more

I found this Salon thanks to my I Phone AP. It was right across the parking lot from my Chiropractor. I was really lucky when I walked in, they seated me right away and started working on my toes. The shop was very busy and they only had 3 people working. They could have turned me away but they did not. Dianne worked out on my toes. After talking with her for a while, I found out she lived in the same county in Vietnam as my mom did. Her mother worked in the same hospital that my mom worked in. Small world eh? The service was superior. From beginning to end it took about an hour to work on my feet. I full scrub, cleaning, clipping and massage of my feet. Base coat, three layers of color, and a top coat. Dianne said my toes will last a while. Although this place is not fancy and stylish like ZaZa in Pacific Commons, I think it provides exceptional service. I would recommend this place for your Nail services if you want to just get a pedicure or manicure with out all the fan fair and frills. The price is reasonable as well. I would recommend booking an appointment. But if you are lucky, you might be able to do a drop in like I did. I don't think they will turn you away, you just have to wait a bit. read more

Diane had been doing my nails since December and I really appreciate how detailed she is. She is also very nice about troubleshooting any nail issues you may have. My nails last until my next appointment and I have switched out my acrylics for natural nails with crystal powder for added density since my natural nails are always thin and fragile. I also want to mention a lot of nail salons are bad at keeping appointments and are afraid to turn away walk-ins if they have to,but not this place! The longest I have waited with an appointment is 10 minutes and that had only happened one time and wasn't a big deal. I'm really happy about that! read more

Really like this place. They were able to fit me in on a busy Friday night. Dianne does awesome shelaq. Pedicure lady was good too, my french tips weren't too thick, Prices are reasonable as well. They don't have those pedicure chairs so the whole experience of getting a "spa pedicure" isn't there but oh well! just as long as my nails look good it's fine. Would definitely come back. read more

Diane has once again made me feel like a brand new woman. The amount of effort and detail she puts into making sure her client's nails are perfect is unmatched. She takes so much time and effort into filing, shaping and adding the color to my nails that I literally cannot find myself going to any other nail salon. Plus the girls there are great at squeezing you in last minute (I only know this bc I'm guilty of being THAT annoying client lol so sorry!!). Silk Tek has been my mom's and my go to nail salon for years now and that's not changing anytime soon!! Keep up the good work! read more

I went to this nail shop after work, looking for a new salon because I can't find a good place to stay with. Most places have bad service and cheap product. So I gave Diane a chance and I'm so happy with her work, my nails look so beautiful!! She took her time even though it was late in the evening. I will definitely go back. I found my new nail shop!! read more

You get the same type of pedi. you would in a high price salon. My toes and nails look great. The only thing I would improve is the color selection read more

New shop relocated on Fremont Blvd! They have new spa massaging chairs & many cute gel colors to choose from! Very clean and very friendly staff who are always warm and welcoming. They also provide silk wraps which many places don't do (it reinforces the nails to make it more durable so they don't chip or break!) my nails always grow out so nice and long when I get silk wraps ( so worth it). I always come here to get my nails done by Diane. She is the best at everything she does and I love her so much! This is hands down the best place to go to for any type of nail care and services. :) read more

Silk-Tek Nail Care - I love my nails !! (Painted w/ gel which always lasts for a really long time compared to regular nail polish) - Nail Salons Near Me - Fremont, California

Lan Tran is the best for pedicures. I have been seeing her since I moved to Fremont in 2014. They will be moving at the end of the month down the street by the Round Table Pizza. read more

Today I cannot believe I had the worst experience as silk tech. my feet were butchered by a non enthusiastic nail technician. she was so rough with my feet and cut me a few times, when she started my nails she didn't even notice there was clear polish on them even though it was chipped. When it came time to pay I was told that the credit card machine didn't work but when I attempted to get up to go get cash from the ATM miraculously it began to work. I will not be returning to this salon for services. so not happy with the end result of my nails or my pedicure it looks like nothing was done . read more

I came in for a pedicure because of the yelp reviews. I found it odd that there were massage chairs but I was seated at a regular chair. They did have plastic bags covering the bins to make them more sanitary. They do take their time on the cuticles. But I was not impressed I will not return. read more

This is my favorite place to get my nails done. Michelle is the best! I always plan on spending a large chunk of time here (even for a fill) because they are meticulous in their work and make sure the nails look great! It is a small salon in a quiet shopping center. It is owned by a very nice family and they are always so nice and attentive. read more

My nails always have looked great from this place. The location and the building isn't something like a 5star spa (more like 3), so my rate goes strictly to the quality of my silk nails. I haven't asked for anything crazy either like a checkerboard or tiger print on my nails, just different color french tip combo's with those small jewels or simple designs. They are so much smoother and shiner than any other place I've been to although this is the only one that I've tried that uses silk. The one time my nail was broken, I came in again to have it fixed and they didn't charge. Once they even opened the door of my car and offered to snap my seatbelt in because they didn't want me to ruin my nails! Isn't that sweet! You can risk waiting or call and make an appt. read more

There is a new manicurist here, her name is Lan. She really cares about her clients. She provides one the best quality and service! She was previously working at Beauty Sense. You can see her reviews there or look up her name Lan Tran. Silk-Tek has moved to another location: 37485 Fremont BLVD, Suit D, Fremont, CA 94536. Lan's number is (510) 329-4366. Call this number to reach Lan directly, or ask for her specifically if you're a walk-in. You will not be referred to her if you call the shop's number since they operate separately even though it is at the same place. As far as the services go, she is very diligent with her work. Not only does she make your manis and pedis pretty, she takes care of its health. She is known for removing conditions like extreme cases of ingrown toe nails, fungus, and callus. If you continue to go to her she will nurture your nails back to health. She is friendly, kind, and caring. She loves what she does and she's great at it, and that's all you can ask for. read more

My nails look Fantastic!!! I am in love with the way my nails look and it's because of Diane at Silk-Tek! I've been to other places and they have nothing on this place. All the ladies are super nice and make you feel welcome. Diane does my nails and she takes her time. When she is finished they ALWAYS look beautiful. I started going to her in Feb of this year and I will not go anywhere else! I don't normally write reviews, but I just had to this one time!! :) read more

I walked in and saw how dirty it was and that the pedicures were being done on the floor (no spa chairs) - I was asked to come back later because there was an old man with his feet in a bucket sitting against the back wall. Ew. Didn't go back and won't. read more

Ok ok, I'm not afraid to admit it, I got a mani-pedi. My friend recommended this place because she gets her nails done here. Aside from some playful ribbing, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I'm not sure of how prices go for mani-pedis go, but it seemed cheap for the amount of labor put into it. read more

I came here on a Saturday afternoon without an appointment and was helped right away. I got a shellac manicure ($25) and a pedicure ($20). The shellac manicure was amazing as my nail technician spent a lot of time on my nails and had a variety of colors to choose from. I've gotta say that the pedicure was pricey, most places only charge $15, but my nail technician spent an entire hour on my toes. I loved every part of the pedicure but could have spent more time with the massage especially for $20 and needs a larger variety of nail colors. Overall, GREAT service and I will return! read more

Needed a mani/pedi today. Wanted to go local. Checked on Yelp and read reviews of several local Fremont salons. Visited Silk-Tek and was pleasantly surprised. This is a no-frills place, but the people are very kind and attentive. They spent a nice, long time on me and used all the products I brought with me without complaint (I usually do at-home manis) and my nails look PERFECT. Everything seemed clean, they used a disposable nail file and let me take it with me when I left. Price was a very reasonable $45 for mani/pedi with paraffin wax on both. I will be back. read more
