La A.

I am a regular and have had the upmost, fabulous experience here for years, except on September 17, 2025. BEWARE: DO NOT TAKE OFF YOUR JEWELRY or leave it at home! I requested for a French gel tip when the nail tech (I don't have her name) suggested, "take off your bracelet for a massage" It was a huge and costly mistake but at the time I assumed she was going to give a massage where my bracelet would get in the way. I found out later, taking it off was absolutely unnecessary. Instead, I received a short 1 minute lotion rub - which is absolutely fine but there was NO reason for the nail tech to ask me to remove it in the first place. Either way, I'm kicking myself in the butt for taking it off and losing out on my anniversary diamond tennis bracelet worth thousands. Let's just say, after my nails were done I didn't clasp the hook on properly and the bracelet dropped at the salon while I was paying/handing out tips for two nail techs for the mani and pedi. I called two days straight after, and they said it wasn't there. Tip for owner: unless absolutely necessary - your employees should not request for bracelets/jewelry to be taken off. What a huge disappointment. I guess the nail tech got exactly what she wanted out of this. Here is my bracelet:

I have been a customer since July of this year... consistent quality from general staff but BEN is amazing at everything when it comes to nails. The quality of his work is great. He takes his time and checks in to make sure I like how it's turning out! The energy of the salon is nice too. They switch up the music! Clean environment and fair pricing too!

Poor attention to detail. This pink wasn't layered on correctly.

I really wish I would like this place but sadly I looked at my pedicure today after getting them done yesterday and the guy that did them did not do a very good job. You can see in the pictures that the paint was not layered on correctly and not painted over my entire toe. This is pretty disappointing. I thought I could trust their work but you can clearly see that they can't fill in properly. The fact that they did this on multiple toes is very disappointing. These definitely need to be fixed.

I've been coming to Vibrant Nails and Lashes for about a year now, and it's become my go-to spot in Berkeley. I've tried a bunch of other salons around here and in Oakland, but I keep coming back because it's affordable, super clean, and the staff are always friendly/ accommodating and talented! I usually get almond Gel-X with a French tip and a design, and every time I've walked out happy with how they turned out. I've had a different tech almost every time, and they've all been consistent with quality and attention to detail. I'll admit I'm pretty picky when it comes to my nails. I pay attention to whether the Gel-X is placed straight, if there are any bubbles, how the shape looks, and how clean/even the French tips are. If something looks off, I'll ask them to fix it, and they've always been really kind and patient about making sure I leave satisfied. They also have a huge selection of colors to choose from. I've even brought in my own shades a few times because I'm particular like that, and it's never been a problem. One tip: definitely make an appointment, since they can get busy. If you're detail-oriented like me, I think you'll love it here!

My GO TO in the Bay Area! I was never a big nails girlie because they never lasted when I'd get gel done at my local Happy Nails in SoCal, but I really wanted to feel polished during my last semester in college. After spending hours on Yelp and Reddit, I nailed down this spot as the salon that would redeem all salons in my eyes (and cuticles). I was able to take the 51B bus directly to the shop--it literally stops right at its doorstep. My appointment was scheduled for 2, but I showed up early just in case. The staff were super sweet and offered me drinks and tea, and my appointment with Kevin was right on time! At that first appointment, I got gel. I went on an impromptu 12 mile backpacking trip two days later and the nails SURVIVED! They stayed nice for three weeks even with my active lifestyle running around in the dirt and grime. I got them redone after those three weeks because my nails were starting to grow out, but the polish was still immaculate. A month later, I got my first set of acrylics for my graduation photos and ceremonies! They were almond French tips, and turned out so classy and durable. I was shocked how inexpensive and high quality the manicure / pedicure package was, especially considering that the acrylics are labor intensive. I miss living in the Bay Area and getting my nails done with Kevin, and will have to stop by when I visit next!

I love this salon! Kevin and team are great, and I shared a pic of a design I wanted and they nailed it!

I've been getting my nails done for over 10 years, and this was hands down the worst experience I've ever had. For $80, I got nothing but a sloppy job. First off, my cuticles weren't even cut--apparently, they charge an extra $10 for that (but didn't bother to tell me until I complained). My thumb nail wasn't glued on properly, and they used almond-shaped Gel-X tips on all my other nails, except my thumbs, so the tech had to shape those himself. He completely butchered them. The tip and my nail didn't even align, and it looked ridiculous. On top of allll that my middle finger nail is slightly crooked. When I went back to have them fix it the glue and I quite about cuticle services, the front desk guy just shrugged and told me about the $10 up-charge for cutting cuticles. Why wasn't I told that from the start?! When I tried to tell the guy at the front desk about my poorly glued thumb nail, another customer walked up, and instead of finishing our conversation, he just abruptly stopped and helped them, leaving me standing there like I didn't matter. After the other customer paid, I showed him the messed-up thumb nail. He did re-glued it, trimmed cuticles on maybe 3 or 4 nails (not even all of them), slapped some oil on, and told me to wash my hands. When I came back, he had disappeared! No apology, no one came back to check on me, nothing. I waited for a few minutes, standing there; it was clear no one gave a damn, I just left. For $80, this place is an absolute joke. Terrible service, lazy techs, and zero customer care. Don't waste your money here--there are way better salons that actually care about doing a good job and treat customers with respect.

My nails right after the $60 manicure/pedicure. My cuticles are dry and rough looking.

I got a manicure and pedicure. My nails after the manicure look awful. Looks like they did BEFORE the "manicure". I didn't get polish just got them buffed. The total was $60. There is a $5 charge to have your nails buffed and shined.

Chloe recommended a gel X nail set that I absolutely adore. Walked in out of the blue and received amazing service. They were very nice and my nails look so cute!

Loved how they shaped my nails and generally how attentive they were. The place is cute and clean.

I got waxed here with Nicki (my spelling might be off), and it was a great experience! I made an appointment ahead of time, though when I called they also offered to service me right then, and was in & out of the shop within ~25 minutes. I was a little nervous because I used to get sugared and heard waxing is more painful, but it wasn't bad at all. Nicki was really nice and thorough, and I found out this salon gives discounts to students which is a nice plus! I think this shop will be my default for any future nails & waxing needs :) read more

it might depend on who helps you, but the person who did my nails gave me lots of attitude, cut two of my fingers till they bled. i've gotten my nails done plenty of times before and this was definitely the worst experience. also, the french nail that he gave me was not even at all... and it's possibly one of the simplest designs that you can get. read more

Beautiful spot. Great prices. Very nice staff . My daughter and I went for gel mani and pedi. My daughter was a little disappointed in her color and style on her nails due to mis communication I think. And see pic attached. I asked for cat eye and that didn't quite come out but the process was facinnating and the slashes we're consistent. You ask why 5 stars then? The massages. They don't skimp on the massage. We will make this our regular spot and know to be more clear with details. read more

I went to high school down the street from this place and I can't believe I didn't go here while I still was so close by. I've been a few times before, but this time specifically was really amazing. I got my brows done ($12), which was super painless, quick and well-done. Then, I get a full set ($30 no gel) but had a specific design in mind. It was something the guy had never done before, but he was able to get it done easily and the whole time we had very lighthearted interactions. In general, the people are friendly, efficient, and if you want something specific they'll do it for you! PS I've witnessed customers get somewhat hostile with the employees if they don't understand what they're asking for right of the bat. Be patient and work with them so that you get the service you want politely:) read more

Not impressed. I've gone here several times and had good experiences until recently. I got a beautiful and expensive ($75) GelX set, but the next day one of the nails came off! I went in to get it fixed (free of charge, but I paid for parking). Then after two days, two more came off. Again, I went in to get them fixed (paid for parking). They put new extensions on, but the color of the nails did not match the rest of the set. 5 days in and another two nails came off! I called and asked for a refund or new set, because literally half of the set had fallen off in less than a week. They refused to give me a refund/new set and just told me to come in and get them glued back on. When they glued them back on, it seemed like a waste of time for them and would leave my real nail visible. At this rate, I was and am fed up on wasting my time, gas, and parking money. I am paying more for a set that shouldn't come off in less than a week. At this rate, a new set would've been the easiest solution. I had a GelX set before, and they stayed on for 3 weeks and the fact this set barely made a day is insane for the amount of money I paid. I really like the ladies here (hence the addition of one star), but I will be looking for a different salon. read more

When I got there at 3, I was instructed to wait. At 3:15, I walked up to the same man, and said "How long is the wait? I have an appointment".

I have come to this place for years, before it was Vibrant Nails...and always like it. Lots of open space, friendly people. When Vibrant too over, prices went up, but the staff is great. However, they alway overbook, and yesterday I walked out after waiting almost a half an hour past my appointment time (they are perpetually late). Plus when I went in, the chemical smell from the gel nails was so strong I got dizzy. These salons have got to provide better ventilation for customers. And gel nails have got to be toxic-- sure they get you longer lasting nails-but at what cost? I hope they at least improve their ventilation and do a better job at scheduling. read more

Cheap like if you say she missed a spot once she'll blame you for having light-colored hair. If you say it twice, she'll tell you not to come back. Cheap like a lousy CD-player stuck on repeat, soft wax still all over your skin, and body-shaming.

The salon is bright and inviting and the staff is incredible. I'm always greeted by Elliott's big smile and super charm. She is always so sweet and I love chatting with her in the waiting room. Shymell is an absolute doll and one hell of a waxer! I've been seeing Shymell since last October and every experience has been wonderful. Of course this isn't a painless experience, but Shymell makes the environment really comfortable and quick. Shymell is so fun and easy to talk to. It really feels like I'm chatting with an old friend during our sessions. She is clean, thorough and articulate. In the past, I've found that previous waxers have left quite a bit of hair from time to time. Nothing will ever be perfect and there will always been fine hairs left behind, but Shymell makes sure that there is virtually no hair left. I love that the salon carries many of the products that are used as well as other trinkets like greeting cards. You might be able to find cheaper prices elsewhere for the same services, but you won't find this kind of high quality service and care anywhere else. Ashley and her team have done a swell job with this waxing studio. I'm so grateful to have them around. Thank you for all that you do!

That was probably one of the best things about this place besides, they're overall ambience and calm environment. It is also very clean here. I've been to a couple of other places, but this is my regular spot. If for any other reason, I just wanna get like a touchup I would definitely come here and pay the higher price point and get professional service here instead of going somewhere else and paying less but getting subpar service. They also give you numbing spray which is super helpful and other great tips to minimize hair grow growth. Totally worth it and highly recommended!

The service was thorough and I thought they took their time to make sure my lashes looked nice. I will say I did expect a little more information on the different steps during the service or some aftercare instructions. Regardless, I was happy with my lash lift and the results were better than expected. While I have visited this spa for occasional massages and facials in the past, I'd consider returning for lash services in the future. Customer service was friendly and attentive and the spa is cozy and modern. The check in and check out process was easy and efficient. The location is convenient and easy to find. There is street parking available but this can vary depending on when you go. Alternatively, you can also park on a nearby street and walk over. Overall, a solid spa with plenty of services and spa treatments. Worth visiting if you're nearby.

And indeed my nails are painted pretty good! The shop is inside of The Braid Bar (I may me incorrect on the name, but it is a braid salon). Through the back you go. You already know the deal. Linh started my pedicure first. I was skeptical at first only because I booked with the owner. She assured me that I would love Linh....and indeed I do.

I spent $150 ($50 deposit, $100 day of service) for gel nails that haven't even lasted as long as regular polish. Not to mention, when I arrived there were no instructions on how to get into the building. No signage. No way to communicate with her. I almost left until she texted me 7 minutes after the scheduled appointment time. I'm pregnant and I was out waiting in the rain as I had taken a Lyft there. I want my money back! I work hard for what I have and this is definitely not worth $150.

I've been going to Vibrant for a few years now, since well before the redesign. I have always loved the atmosphere and they would do my nails SO well. They were always my go-to and I would always leave super happy with how my nails looked. I'm sad to say that the quality of the service I've received has been steadily declining recently. The past few times I've come in, my nail tech has rushed through, skipped steps, and unfortunately just done a poor and inattentive job. I've been leaving unhappy with the pedicure and feeling like the paint job doesn't look very nice either. I don't get my manicures done with them anymore, but it seems like they prioritize those. I always tip over 25% in cash regardless. I have a gift card (first time) that I haven't used, so I will give Vibrant another chance, but sadly I think I will be switching nail salons after that :( bummer read more

This place is indeed a gem! Despite the commute, I go see Teena for my hair cut. Her sister, Nikki, does my nails and eyebrows. Truth is I got tired trying salons in the area and not satisfied with the service that I was ecstatic when Nikki informed me that Teena was opening her salon in Berkeley. (We were new to the area when they used to own a nail spa in Lafayette.) Teena always gives me a haircut that gets compliments! When I get my nails done, their chairs are super-comfy. The loft where they do my eyebrows are super clean and has a relaxing vibe. All these factors... and should I say, a new look... make the trip worthwhile!!! read more

Everything came out so beautiful and clean , I'm truly so happy with the results. I've been coming to Vibrant Nails and Lashes for years, and they've always done such a great job, but today was especially wonderful.
