I've been there many time for royal pedicures. Just reviewed this shop today. Everything perfect, clean facility, friendly and well skilled staff. Every time I went to the salon was really comfortable and satisfied. Will recommend this shop to my friends. Good nails salon in Berkeley Area. read more

I love this place. Spacious, clean, the technicians are super friendly. I went in for a Mani and pedi. Kim and Nancy took their time to work on me. Fabulous massages, clean cuticles. read more

The nail artist (Hannah I believe) was very attentive, quick, and helpful when deciding on colors and designs for gel extensions. She checked in frequently and made sure I liked it before moving on. I had an early appointment time and I was sat down as soon as I walked in so I recommend doing that. I'll be back for sure! read more

Love this place so much. I've been here 3 times and have never been disappointed. All the girls here are so good, kind, and professional. I love that there are so many packages that you can customize. Today I got a mango mani pedi. Just amazing and smelled so good. It included a scrub, 15 minute massage , lots of warm towels, painted on mango lotion, and hot stones. They always go above and beyond and offer so many different drinks as well. It's my favorite place in the east bay for sure. Love it here!! read more

I've never been able to find a "go-to" nail place because nothing has ever really made me want to come back to a specific location. Today however, I can say I've found my "go-to". The two women working this morning were very welcoming, as soon as I walked in (with no appointment) I was offered tea and was seated right away for my gel mani. The polish was spot on, I wanted a deep burgundy and that's exactly what I got. After the mani, they gave me a neck massage which I really needed, it's like they already knew. The location is very clean and not outdated like other places. One thing I appreciate most is kind customer service which is what I experienced here. I definitely will be coming back. read more

Had my gel manicure done here twice. The last time I went for a gold glitter ombré which unfortunately was applied by glopping the glitter on making mounds on the nail which she didn't even out. It appeared she didn't really know how to properly achieve the ombré and allowed the gel to set unevenly. Furthermore, the gel remained sticky to the touch. I could hardly stand it. The upside to this is I found another place that is way cheaper and who's technicians are fast and skilled!!! read more

An amazing Berkeley nail salon. I've been here twice and both times I was very pleased with the service and how my nails turned out. I went in yesterday and asked for a gel mani and was helped right away. The girl who did my jails was fantastic; a sweet young girl who really took her time with my cuticles, filing the nails straight, and the polish application was perfect. I'm so pleased with my nails and will definitely be coming back here! And last time my polish lasted a very long one with no chipping. A definite plus! Also, very affordable and you get a gorgeous mani! Very much recommend this place. They also do hair cuts and many girls came in and got their eyebrows threaded while I was there. read more

My go to place to get my nails done in Berkeley. Super sweet staff and their service is spectacular. My nails last pretty long when I get it done here and I'm never dissatisfied. I do recommend calling in and making an appointment or calling before to see how busy it is because it can get busy on special occasions. They have a lot of staff so the wait usually isn't long. read more

These ladies are seriously skilled. I think I just got the best mani/pedi of my life. The lines are perfect. I've been looking for a new salon after moving here from the Midwest a few months ago. This place is hands-down the best. Prices are standard but you get a little discount if you pay cash. Also got my legs waxed. The gal was friendly and thorough. Will absolutely be back!! read more

I recently arrived from London, and as you can imagine I am living life through yelp reviews on all the best places. I'm am soooo picky when it comes to my nails, and after going to an awful nail shop (that won't be named) who left me with acrylics that came off, and a dodgy paint job, I was more than sceptical of going anywhere else. And there aren't many companies on here, with consistent positive reviews. I came across Spa Nails and Hair, after reading through reviews for ages, and they had a good amount of positive reviews, so I gave them a visit today. Kim provided excellent service, from start to finish. I was offered water or tea when I arrived, I was sat down quickly and after waiting 5mins I was seen to. Kim assessed my nails thoroughly, paid close attention to my shaping, filing, buffing for my "Gel Powder French Manicure". I was really happy with my whole experience, and I will definitely be back. No pain, no cuts, no rough handling, and most importantly no feeling like the staff were bitching or talking horridly about me in a different language. Such a nice place! I will be back, thanks Kim xxxx read more

I started coming here since my nail tech was on vacation and my cousin lives close to this place. Some techs here are good but do not book online if you want to request someone. I booked with a specific person 2x and when I came they didn't even care/check who I booked with. They just gave me the worst person. In total I have gone 3 times here. The last 2 times, they gave me some person who I think is in training. She typically does the removals and if you want a natural color she will do the whole thing, she's not very good. Typically a better person will watch over her or jump in to finish the whole thing. The last time she did the removal for me, it hurt. She's aggressive with the drill and she doesn't shape nails very well. So only book online if you don't care about who does your nails and if you're ok paying full price for someone to practice on you. I really wanted to like this place (why I went multiple times) but they are either really bad at managing wait times or assigns me a terrible nail tech or both. Prices are ok and online booking system is convenient. Color selection for dip needs improvement. read more

I've been here a couple of times and have had good experiences, but the quality wasn't great this time around. I got a gel manicure from one of the older women, and she wasn't detail oriented at all. She didn't paint all the way to the end of my nails, and there were multiple bubbles from the clear coat. She also made a couple of the nails uneven where some areas were thicker than others (see my pinky nail on the left picture). Also not that clean around the edges. My pedicure was nice though. read more

Don't go to Spa nail and hair if Kim is not available if you are going to get a full set. Usually every time I go and Kim is there I am satisfied with my nails . I guess she was on vacation so I had gotten my nails done by another lady. I did not like the way she left them the first time, went back the next day and she left one crooked . The reason why I had went back was because one nail was longer than the other and the shape of my nails didn't have clean edges like the way Kim does them. ON TOP OF THAT the lady just filed them down and left the sides unpainted which is not okay for paying $40 for a gel fill and for them not to look right. read more

Love the place! Nice bright and clean, very friendly staff. Plenty of free parkings on Haste street. I went in for gel manicure and eye brow wax. Kim and her staff are top notch. Attentive services and yet not over chattily. I love my lavender French tips, will definitely come back soon. read more

I loved this place!! I was walking by when I saw this salon and came in! The service is great! very nice people. I felt so welcome. Nancy and Kim did a great job in my nails plus I got a wonderful massage in my feet and hands. I also did my eyebrows with Kim there and it looks super good! I asked for they name because I want you people to know these girls. The salon do not have many reviews yet because it is new in the area (only 15 days) since they opened it! Please go and check it out!! Definitely I will be back. read more

If you're looking for something bougie, this is not the place but it is my go too here in Berkeley! I only get acrylics here and while it is not the best quality, it's worth it for the price. Kim is so sweet and she makes sure you get what you want. read more

I have been here a few times, and every time has been just "okay"-- until this last time I went and it was horrible. For the first time I was paired with the man who works there, not one of the women, and he gave me the worst gel manicure I've ever had. He didn't fix my cuticles, didn't fix my hangnails, and I left with the gel polish all over my fingers. He didn't even clean it off! He didn't say a word to me the entire time either. He just did a truly terrible job, and you could tell he didn't care at all. Will not be back!!! read more

I'm really sad to write this review. I've been coming here for YEARS. The past few times I've came here have been awful. I thought they were one offs. One gal buffed my nails paper thin and the next lady globbed on gel so thick I looked like an alien. The ladies that have been here are not the same people that were so wonderful years ago. Kim is amazing and so sweet but everyone else here is so so rushed. The massages are not great and they just don't spend enough time doing a careful job. We didn't even get a menu when we walked in to choose what kind of service we wanted. It is just not relaxing here anymore. My fiancée is currently bleeding in the chair next to me from a nip of a cuticle cutter. We brought my future mother in law here and I'm actually currently cringing at the lack of care they are showing us. Sadly Kim is not here to smooth it all over. We are regulars and have spent a lot of money here in the past. I will not be coming here again. I'm sad to say - It is just not what it used to be read more

Paid 55 for the lavender mani pedi combo which included a ten minute massage. Ten minutes consisted of my person rubbing my legs with gloves and no lotion. My legs and feet actually felt worse afterwards. My person didn't finish my feet, got up and left with no explanation and moved to another chair leaving me wondering what was next. 15 mina later another person came back to finish my toes. Free drink was a mini bottle of water. Will stick with my normal place in San Leandro and will pay less with better service. Won't be coming back here. read more

Kim is a professional. I've been coming here whenever I wanted to treat myself to something that not self-nail and I am never disappointed. The only thing is the limited selection of acrylic nail powder. They don't have s wide variety of them. If you're looking for gel, they have a lot but if you want complete acrylic nails or acrylic nail extensions, they don't have a lot of choices. Nonetheless, I still am very satisfied with my experiences here! read more

If I could give a 0 I would. I called into this place and specifically said "do you guys do the dip powder nails?" The woman said "yes" and asked when I wanted to come in. I drove all the way there, paid for an hour of parking just to be told they don't do dip powder nails. What a waste of time. Next time someone calls in to ask if you perform a service maybe actually listen to what they're saying? read more

I arrived at 6ish today and asked for acrylic. The host said to wait a few minutes. And I waited 30min until Kim came to me. I wanted the marble design nails. And she draw three ugly lines on my nails and it looked like a fork. So I asked to take this color off and just do a regular color. Kim was impatient and said she had no time. BUT I said upon my arrival "I'd like to make an appointment if you don't have enough time today for a little design". Finally I walked out with a very regular color and the price went up from $30 to $45 without asking me. Very bad experience. Plus a finger hurt and swollen. Don't go. Don't ask for Kim. read more

Fantastic experience. Excellent foot after the pedicure. Kim did a very precise job in shaping my acrylic nails. Beautiful job.

By far the most discriminatory Vietnamese nail salon I have been to. I went in for a mani-pedi. While getting my pedicure it was bad, so bad I even had to volunteer to cut my own nails. The lady next to her had to tell her to dry my legs before applying the oils to massage my legs. Since everyone was pretty much free at this point I expected someone else to start my manicure, but to my surprise the person doing the pedicure was assigned to my manicure too. Fast forward, I asked Kim why someone else had not started my nails earlier and she said everyone else had either called in an appointment or the sun had been shining on the manicure chairs so they just did the manicures by the massage chairs. Okay. She went on to hurt my cuticles, the white towels had spots of blood on them. Kim even had to file my nails because they were bad. In all this disarray Kim told me that the lady had been working there for 4 years, mind you I had not ask Kim just volunteered to tell me the number of years this person had supposedly been working for. My nail paint job was as bad as the prior services. Then they totally ignored me for the rest of the time. I told Kim I was leaving and she walked off to the back parlor. So I walked out and her husband shouted that I had to pay. Kim came back and said it would be $34. She knew what a bad job the other lady had done she even offered to redo the color stating it was just the nail color done bad. I asked her if she was kidding me, then she let me leave without paying. I am black and I have experienced all sorts of discrimination in the hands of Vietnamese nail salon women ranging from them making me pay before the nail jobs (when their white clients pay after they are done) to leaving my feet in water for 45 minutes while they cater to drop in white people when I had made an appointment. But this was by far the worst experience. They let a beginner do my nails without any supervision, the beginner left my nails hurting and bleeding, and they still expected me to pay. I don't think Kim would let any of this happen to a white customer or any other race for that matter other than a black person. And I am absolutely disgusted by her behavior to say the least. read more

My first visit at this location was wonderful! I love my manicure, the nail tech was very careful with cleaning up my cuticles (which is very hard to find around Emeryville) & did a perfect job on the magnetic gel that they have. My nails look like the are an opal texture- AMAZING stuff. After my nails were done drying, they provide you with an excellent arm/hand massage. read more

Horrible experience. I came in to get a gel manicure on my birthday. Had to tell them to redo my nails around 5 times and still in the end they had missing places where they didn't polish, one chipped by peeling the next day, they didn't clean my fingers either. Finally I paid and they told me to enjoy my wedding. Im not getting married lol. Not coming back. read more

After our friend recommended this nail salon to us, my roommate and I came here on a Tuesday night. The lady, Kim, was lovely and pays attention to details. After the nail is done, she gave us a hand massage. Although the outside can look a little sus, it is bright and clean inside! Definitely come to this place if you need to get your nails done! :) read more

Kim was so nice and she did awesome work! Her family was so nice and the place was very clean. Will be going back again!

I've been going here for more than 2 years since I worked in Berkeley. What made me keep coming back is their awesome customer service that I always receive when I come here. They make me feel welcome and everyone who works here always greet me. Everyone is always happy and upbeat. There's time where I come in last minute and Kim was able to accommodate me, but appointment would allow her to have more time to tend to my needs. Kim is the only one whose been doing my full set gel and I absolutely love the way she does them. I've gone to couple of other shops but I feel nothing beats this place. This place is not all about tips. To me this place is all about customer and what makes the customer happy. She always ask me first before doing something and make sure I am happy with my results. If there's something I don't like she would kindly fix it. I absolutely love this place and I don't want to go anywhere else but here. read more

I randomly went for a gel manicure one afternoon a month ago and they did a great job!

Clean, modern, friendly staff and most importantly they're very detail oriented! They give foot massages with the pedicures too.

I live in SF but came out to Berkeley to shop and decided to last minute to get a pedicure. I yelp and came across this place which is only 3-4 blocks away from the BART station. Their standard pedicure is $23 but they also have a variety of pedicures and so I got the deluxe for $32 which included a 10 minute massage. They actually took their time to do my pedicure and was meticulous with cutting my cuticles and dead skin off; their massage felt great and it was overall a relaxing experience. I spent over an hour there and that wasn't including the time I waited for my toes to dry. The staff is externally friendly and they take their time with their clients. It's $2 off if you use cash and they have a "punch" card, when you've collected 10 punches, you get $10 off your next service. Even though I live in SF, I will definitely be back to get my nails done here! read more
