I did a hard gel manicure and gel pedicure here yesterday- my experience was awful that has left me speechless. First of all, the attitude of people working there especially Nina who worked on my hands were extremely rude, inpatient, and aggressive. She rushed through everything. She was clearly did not want to work. She didn't say anything to me throughout the whole time not even a simple hi! I asked her to make my nails shorter however she just rolled her eyes at me. She rushed me to pick a color. And now I look at my nails are they not even. They are not straight. I hate how my nails are looking and I have spent over 100$! read more

I love these nails so much! The people here were very nice and helpful with deciding. It was $40 dollars for a fill and an extra $15 for chrome. Totally recommend! read more

I felt that my nails were not colorful enough and I just want to cover them with a more obvious color, a middle-aged woman gave me a bad look, bad attitude , and keep nagging: "You can't change the color." And blamed me choosing the color. It's so terrible service and I felt very upset after the experience. NOT recommend. read more

I've been here a couple of times since it's close to my house. This last time I went my experience was terrible. The people who work here have so much attitude and no customer service. They make you feel very unwanted in this rundown old nail salon. My daughter and I went in to get our nails done they kept up selling me without telling me the price. My 8 year old daughter got a few simple designs on her nails, I was charged $80 just for her. I did not expect that, they did not tell me I would be charged extra for every little thing. Finally when I went up to pay they put me on the spot and asked me in front of everyone at the salon whether I want to leave a tip or not and if so how much? They do that every time I have had my nails done. All they care about is making money and no customer service. read more

I have tried all of the local nail salons in my area and this is my preferred salon. The people here are so friendly and can usually accommodate me within 30 minutes notice. The gel lasts. Longer than a week. Longer than 2 weeks if your nails can handle it! They also have dip. Love a dip, just hate what it does to my nails... but not here! Doesn't totally destroy them however they do it. Pedicure chairs are shamaze. V comfy and a normal massage, not the ones that beat the sh*t outta you. 10/10 read more

I highly recommend Tara's nails, I've been going here for years and I've never been let down! Jason, Helen, Jada & their team are all great. This is my one stop shop for my waxing needs and nails. I always love to bring a sister or friend along. Theyre always timely and welcoming. You should definitely try this nail salon. You will not be disappointed! 10/10 recommend! They always do what you want & it lasts! Great service. Jason did my wedding nails read more

I have a question. Does anyone know the cost of a regular manicure and regular pedicure at Tara's Nails?

Love coming to Tara's Nails - they are the best around! I go during the week at off times so almost never need an appointment. They are always so friendly and do an amazing job. You can tell they are a quality salon when they have so many return customers, they greet almost everyone by name. read more

The workers are very nice and my nails look pretty good but I just got them done TODAY and it has already chipped within 6 hours. I have only been here one other time before and my experience before was decent as well. I might recommend only for pedicure or plain gel nails. Anything that is simple this place may be good for but if you like getting acrylics with designs not sure I would recommend. Not sure if you can tell in the photo but it is chipped! It just sucks because I spent $65 on my nails and I liked them but just the chip really bugs me! read more

Excellent service with a great conversation to go along with. I called before coming in and they were able to take me in as a walk in. Tommy is so friendly and paid very close attention to detail when doing my mani pedi. Reasonable price for the quality of service you get! And I thought it was convenient that they also accept Venmo as a form of payment. Just make sure to bring cash for tip read more

I love this salon! Jada was great, and did my full set of acrylics with such care and speed it was amazing... everyone was so sweet and I loved how they helped me decide what to get done!

Edit- I have had great experiences with this salon in the last year and after one bad experience- today- I originally gave this review of 1 star and the reason below. The owner texted me 3 hours later very apologetic and I will return to try again in hopes that they will communicate honestly about a wait time before putting customers in water to wait. Original review: I called yesterday, made an 11 am appointment for today, and arrived on time. They sat my niece and me with our feet in water and I'm still sitting here waiting for my pedicure at 11:30 am. . . They started hers at 11:20. If you have a life and things to do, find another salon. read more

Loved the experience -- can truly recommend this salon. The service was grand, the staff was friendly, the final work wonderful! Excellent!

Always great customer service and my nails are perfect and last at least 3 weeks! My favorite nail shop ever

horrible nails so thick and the lady hurt me so bad doing them. it was also $70 for short nails

I made an appointment with Jason for a manicure - pedicure. The appointment was at 11 AM. I got a call a little before 11 saying he was going to be late could I come at 11:30 AM. I said sure. So I got there and no Jason. Helen who was working in the shop was very apologetic about Jason not being there I was hoping he would arrive soon. Finally at 12:15 PM, still no Jason, I asked Helen to proceed with my services. She did and she did a good job. She kept calling Jason to try and find out where he was. I specifically asked for him because here on yelp he had good reviews about massage. What bothered me the most was the way that this poor Helen had to keep covering for him. At one point Jason walked in with a 50 pound bag of rice on his shoulder went to the back room and never came out. I did not have time to even get polish on my toes. The appointment took so long and I had to get out of there to go to another appointment. Regarding the shop itself. It is dirty. The chairs are very dirty . The massage equipment on the chair was mediocre at best. I won't be back. read more

The service was terrible, staff attitude was rude. They kept blaming me for everything and 3 people were jumping at me if I requested anything. This salon is also not clean and they don't sterilize properly and don't change the plastic for pedicure. I will never go back and I think they should be reported for not following health standards. read more

I've been to Tara's nail salon for over a year now and not once have I been disappointed with the service. I'm allergic to alcohol, and each time I walk in the door they remind each other so I dont have to. I've gotten regular, gel and acrylic and they have always come out amazing! Bonus, they just got new pedicure massage chairs that are wonderful and relaxing read more

I am very addicted to this nail salon. Come here every two weeks for my nails. Service was amazing, all the staff were super friendly and creative. They did my nails really carefully and professionally. Furthermore, when I tell them I want to customize my nails, they always listen and give me some good ideas for my unique nail designs, which is a plus. The shop is clean, quiet, there is a parking lot in front of the shop to help me save my time looking for a parking space. read more

Love Tara's Nails always go to Jocelyn! She truly is a perfectionist and always gets my shape and French tip perfect. 10/10

Helen, Jason, and their team are the best at their game. And they are some of the nicest people you will ever meet.

My two favorite nail techs e v e r opened up their own shop! Helen & her fiancé Jason took over Taras Nails recently & Jada came along with them! These woman have been doing mine & my daughters nails for 5 years now. I am beyond picky with the shape of my nails (usually end up shaping them myself) & with these ladies I never have to worry! Jada is also the queen of getting allll the cuticles! My daughter came in requesting a beach themed manicure & they nailed it! Lastly, Jason may have just given me the best pedicure of my life. If you're in Walnut Creek don't hesitate to give them a try! read more

Tara's is an absolute go to for me. They always do an excellent job and are super friendly. I usually get acrylics and i've been going to tara's for a couple years now. I'm gonna be honest, I've gone to a couple other nail salons and tara's is definitely the best. Their prices are better than most places too, which is surprising for the quality being so high. It's so chill in there too, quiet music playing, even soft christmas music playing during the holidays. They're also super gentle and you can tell they care about more about their customers than getting a paycheck. my hands also get sweaty sometimes, which is why i hate getting my nails done, but they don't care at all. I won't ever stop recommending tara's. :) read more
