Their service is quick but still very detailed, and they always make sure everything looks perfect before you leave. I also highly recommend the eyelash extensions done by Ivee (the owner). She really listens to what you want and takes her time to make sure you're happy with the final result. My lashes always come out looking amazing and exactly how I asked. If you're looking for a place that cares about quality and customer experience, this is definitely a spot worth trying!

Used to come here many years ago, and had a wonderful return today. I saw Mia for a dip set with…read moretips and she really did an amazing (and time efficient!) job. She helped me create the perfect color I was looking for by layering 3 dip powders, and I couldn't be happier with them and their shape. I will be returning, as I have developed a life long gel allergy I regretfully gave myself from at home UV gel applications (don't do it! Leave it to the professionals!) luckily, the dip is still a safe option for me and my sensitivities, and I'm grateful to have a place in the area the specialized in dip powder. Lots of places offer it, but in my opinion no where else I've tried knows how to do it as well as dipping nails! Thank you Mia, I'll be seeing you again soon.

First, they like to talk about their clients in their language, but what they didn't know, is I had my Google translator on a few times to see what they were saying. Let's just say, they hate most of their clients and make fun of you. It's bad enough when you're already conscience of you own nail pit-falls, but I don't need my nail techs making fun of me or hurting me to the point I want to jump out of my chair. As well, you have to pay extra for the basic of service...they've already raised their basic mani/pedi over 30+% in the last year already. I found a new place (referred to be by a lady going there for over 12 yrs) called "Mon Mon" across the street. It gives the same luxurious service that I've received in places like Tahiti... Sorry, but not sorry. Do better, Chloe.

I came here hopeful because the reviews were overwhelmingly positive. The nail technicians were…read morevery nice; however, the technician who did my jelly gel manicure unfortunately did not appear to be experienced with this type of service. At the end of my appointment, I pointed out that four of my nails were rough on the corners and asked if she could file them, which she did. I also mentioned that my nails did not look like a jelly manicure. Jelly nails should have a translucent, glossy, almost Jell-O-like appearance, while mine looked matte. Another technician told me the matte appearance was because I had lotion on my hands. I gave them the benefit of the doubt, but when I got home, I thoroughly washed my hands and my nails were still matte. I also noticed that my middle nail was unusually thick and uneven at the tip. I returned the following day to give the salon an opportunity to address my concerns. They buffed them with a cloth that gave it more shine but it was still not a jelly manicure. Unfortunately, I was given several different explanations--first that it was because two coats had been applied, and then that my "nail beds must be dark." I honestly had no idea what that was supposed to mean, and by that point, I felt insulted and frustrated by the excuses rather than feeling that my concerns were being heard. They did offer to redo my nails if I was willing to wait, but at that point, I was simply done with the experience. Unfortunately, I will not be returning, which is disappointing because I genuinely wanted to like this salon.

Until June 2026, I enjoyed coming to Lamorinda Nails. The staff is friendly and the shop has a…read moreneighborhood feel. I even brought my daughter here for her prom nails, which makes this harder to write. At my most recent visit, I had an appointment and was already mid-service, with hands and feet soaked, when a walk-in customer arrived and wanted to sit next to her friend. Instead of asking, the staff moved my belongings and gestured for me to relocate. No explanation. No courtesy. Just an expectation that I would move for someone who came in after me. I would not have minded moving if I had been asked. But being displaced mid-service without a word was dismissive and, frankly, humiliating. I shared this feedback when I paid, but the experience stuck with me. This is not about one seat. It is about how customers are prioritized and treated in real time. That moment was enough for me to decide I will not be returning. I hope the owners take a step back and reflect. Basic respect and consistency in how customers are treated should not vary depending on who walks through the door.

But we're not in Argentina and here, post-pandemic inflation, I'm always searching for a similar deal.

The place is nothing fancy (which suits me fine) and the pedicure isn't 90-minutes plus but it was still great looking well past 3 weeks later. Score. I'll be back. Maybe you'll be there too.

I checked Yelp and the reviews for Elaine's were amazing, so there we went! I appreciated that they had many windows and doors open for better airflow and ventilation. I trusted that they were very COVID-safe. They had a lot of colors to choose from and they were very attentive and fun, doing a great job on our pedicures and cleaning up my toenail shape. It was a great afternoon of self-care and I loved the massage chairs and foot baths as well. I hadn't gotten a pedicure in over 7 years and now I'm like what was I doing? I have been missing out! My feet look so much better when I wear flip flops, I feel embarrassed to have worn sandals when I didn't have a pedicure on. I loved the other customers who came in for appointments (we were walk-ins) because they knew Elaine, and one had come there with her daughter years ago. (The other customer was a big, buff White man and I just love that he was a regular!) You can pay via Venmo so it's touchless. I would recommend Elaine's Nails to anyone in Orinda or the East Bay!
