Her attention to detail is amazing -- she doesn't rush and makes sure everything is done perfectly. This was my first time getting a full set of hard gel, and I had zero lifting after four weeks! As a mom whose hands are constantly wet from washing and cleaning, that's seriously impressive -- my nails stayed strong and beautiful the entire time. I'm so glad I found Alexandra -- I think I've finally found my go-to nail expert!

Hands down the best nail salon in town…read more Trust me!!! I've been to many nail salons in the area, and this one is truly top-notch. I love that they have a host who manages reservations and phone calls, so everything runs smoothly. I also appreciate that they never reuse nail files or buffers, which makes the salon feel very clean and hygienic. Another thing I love is that they never make you feel rushed, even when they're busy. If you know, you know! One of the worst salon experiences is when there's a line of people waiting, the technicians rush through your appointment, and the quality of the work suffers. That has never been my experience here. They consistently provide great service, and I always leave happy. Highly recommend!

I started coming here about 6 months ago based on the recommendation of my good friend that comes…read moremonthly. The place is located in a plaza across from Kaiser Walnut Creek. The salon is very clean and zen. I like it that the nail estheticians don't talk to each other loudly in a foreign lanuage while they do their work like some of the other nail salons I have been to. I normally get the gel manicure and regulare pedicure. I also like it that they separate the manicure station from the pedicure chairs. I have been to places where they do your hand and feet at the same time but It was very uncomfortable having to stretch my arms across. My only negative feedback is parking. You will have to pay for parking if you want to park in the plaza (meter). I sometimes park at Trader Joe's and walk over. Reservations can be made online or by calling the store. I highly recommend this place.

Once I walked in I was asked how I can be helped and as soon as I mentioned my daughter's nails, they just said no, they don't paint kids nails. My daughter didn't want to look any further after that. Totally reasonable as to why, every shop has their rules but it was the way she just didn't want to attend to us by her response was just meh. Can't really speak on the vibe but once we walked in we didn't feel welcomed. Maybe just not a kid friendly spot.

Each experience has been exceptional, thanks to the skill and professionalism of their nail technicians. I've had the pleasure of working with many different technicians, and every single one has delivered fabulous results. The selection of colors and polishes is impressive, featuring unique options that stand out from the usual offerings. It's always a treat to choose something a bit different for my nails, and I love how they keep things fresh and exciting. Beyond the nail services, the atmosphere of the salon is inviting. The staff is consistently polite, and there's a great vibe as soon as you walk in. The salon is always neat and tidy, which adds to the overall pleasant experience. They even offer complimentary tea, coffee, or water, along with a little snack, making each visit feel like a special treat. Hands down, this is the best place I've ever had manicures and pedicures. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for quality nail care in a welcoming environment!

My first Russian manicure, and I'm so glad I booked an appointment with Betina here at Betina Nail…read moreStudio. This super cute space is located inside the Salons by JC building. My nails were pretty damaged and all uneven lengths, and Betina fixed them up so nicely. She started with filing my nails, cleaning up the textures and whatnot, and for the nails that needed some additional length, she put some polygel. Once that was dried, she continued to shape my nails. So much detail and precision! The major focus when it comes to Russian manicures and others is the cuticle aspect. A lot of time and precision is spent around this area of the nails- fine drilling tools, the cutting super precise, etc. Once nails were shaped and cuticles/nailbeds very cleaned, the hard gel process started. That was practically painted on the nails. Sounds so simple, but requires so much talent as it's not just a straight application, rather molding and painting on the same time to give it some apex/curvature. It looks so good! You do get to pick a hard gel base color. I chose the one called "latte" which is a shade of light pink, but a bit deeper. Once the hard gel is on and dried, you can finish then, or choose designs, gel polish, etc. I opted for a classic French tip design on the natural hard gel base. So elegant, so perfect. Betina also does chrome design/style and can advise which color hard gel base to start with to get the ideal chrome color/shine/finish. Was tempted to try that, but maybe another time. :) Definitely one of the longest manicures I've had, but it's sooooo good!! The hard gel is supposed to last a long time, so we shall see. Will def be back to get a fill or another full manicure in a month or 2, assuming these nails last me. Here's to stronger/steadier natural nails! Thanks so much, Betina. Had a great time talking with you and I absolutely love my nails.

She would check in on me from time to time if I like the way it looks before she proceeded -- and this is what a great service should be.

I explained to her that I don't have a problem with her work and the reason I keep coming to her is because I like her work. (I wasnt complaining that the "dip wasn't lasting a long time") This only happened once and she corrected my nails. I was a loyal friendly customer and I'm shocked that she told me to find someone else. I find it extremely rude and disrespectful. This was my go to shop until she rejected my appointment which is very weird. Zero stars for you Ruby!

The person I was supposed to have an appointment with told me they dont do acrylics? And several employees kept commenting that gel is better, and no one does acrylic anymore and I should switch. Which, if you dont offer acrylics dont have them on your website? Then my nails were supposed to be cow print but instead they're some kind of black and white cheetah? Honestly, I could get over all of that cause it happens but when my nails grew out I realized how DEEP into my nail beds she drilled. She literally drilled out my cuticles and now I have deep, deep red trenches in my nails. Its horrible. I dont know if it can be fixed? Also, even after all that the nails still chipped too.

Upon arrival they then bumped the price up to a whopping $105 I asked how it went all the way up to the price and I was met was sheer disrespect! "You don't know anything about nails" and "if you don't want the nails done don't get them done" clearly, I don't understand the price breakdown and yes I do want my nails done I just want to understand how and why $40 was added. That's why I'm asking? I then asked for the menu or a menu of some sort so that I can calculate the breakdown of it and the menu stated that the service that I asked for was indeed no more than $85. The male that was supposed to be doing my nails, then got upset as well because I was asking for a menu he walked away without saying anything and told the woman who was at the front desk to do my nails. Mind you, This is my first time EVER going here might I add. Clearly they were trying to get over on me. There's no telling how many people they've done this too before I do not recommend going here. I politely stood up, apologizing for I guess inconveniencing them by simply asking to see a menu and left. Never again.
