I contacted the salon and they took care of it right away. I really appreciated how easy they made the whole process and how much they cared about making sure I was happy with the result. In addition, when my regular technician, Diana was busy she recommended Lit. I'm so glad she did! He was very detail-oriented, professional, and did a beautiful job. My nails turned out exactly the way I wanted. I highly recommend this salon and I'd definitely recommend booking with Lit as well!

My friend didn't like the color she picked and they switched it up twice to make sure she would love it. While we were sitting here, a few regulars came in too, good sign. If you're in the area, this is a solid spot!! My friend got gel x and I got builder gel. Were both really happy!

I came to Royal Nails Spa on August 6, 2026, after dropping my dog off at the vet. I had been…read moredealing with stressful vet appointments and wanted to treat myself to something nice. Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed with the quality of the services I received. It has taken me a while to write this review because I was busy caring for my dog, who sadly has since passed away. I made my appointment online and they were able to get me in right away. The salon itself is beautiful and has a high-end appearance, and the receptionist was friendly. Unfortunately, the quality of my services did not match the appearance or the prices. I received a Gel-X new set for $110 and a gel pedicure for $82. With the cash discount, I paid $183 before tip and over $200 total after tipping. The appointment also became uncomfortable because I repeatedly heard things like "that's extra," "this color is extra," and "that costs extra." I appreciate being informed about additional charges beforehand, but hearing it repeatedly made the experience feel more focused on upselling and money than providing a relaxing, high-quality service. For the premium prices being charged, I expected premium-quality work. Unfortunately, the problems started almost immediately. My appointment was August 6. I am attaching a photo taken August 7 at 7:11 PM, literally the next day, showing that the gel polish on my pedicure had already chipped/come off. An $82 gel pedicure should not be chipping one day after the service. I also needed acrylic sculpted onto a toenail I had previously lost. The pedicure technician seemed unsure how to do it and brought over acrylic nail tips. The technician doing my manicure actually had to stop working on my hands, tell the other technician no, and take over doing the acrylic on my toenail herself. Then my Gel-X manicure started lifting and the nails began popping off. My second photo is dated August 14 at 7:02 AM, only eight days after my appointment, and shows the lifting/separation. The Gel-X application was also messy underneath my nails, with excess product globbed up on the undersides. In my opinion, the extensions did not appear to have been properly sized or applied. After spending over $200 including tip, having my $82 gel pedicure chip the very next day and my $110 Gel-X manicure begin lifting and coming apart within days was incredibly disappointing. Maybe I happened to get inexperienced technicians that day -- I can't say. But based on my experience, I personally would not return. At this point, I am not interested in returning to have the services redone. I would simply like my money refunded. I don't feel comfortable giving the salon another opportunity to work on my nails after this experience. This was supposed to be a small moment of self-care during an incredibly difficult time while I was dealing with my dog's health. Instead, I spent over $200 on nails that began falling apart almost immediately. A beautiful, high-end-looking salon doesn't make up for poor-quality work. For the prices being charged here, I expected the quality and longevity of the services to match. Unfortunately, in my experience, they did not. The dated photos I'm attaching were taken August 7 and August 14 following my August 6 appointment. I think the timeline and photos speak for themselves.

I hadn't seen them before but had seen the spot they took over. I think Adore is relatively new but the place is clean and the ladies are very sweet. They took me in, without an appointment, and I sat down at a chair pretty quickly, even though they were pretty busy when I walked in. Annie worked on my toes and I was impressed. She was very sweet, gentle and did an amazing job cleaning up my feet. I'll definitely be going back!

The staff is extremely friendly, always makes me smile.. such a welcoming vibe. They never let me down when I bring in screenshots of what I want. I went from rarely getting my nails done, to getting them done regularly because I look forward to going in. Side note: I have really bad neuropathy in my hands and feet, so when getting my nails done there is more than a 50% chance it'll be painful or uncomfortable. This is the first nail salon that has consistently taken care of me without pain.

She spoke loudly in my face to her coworkers for much of my appointment, including speaking in another language, which made me feel very uncomfortable and excluded. She also charged me an extra $5 to keep my nails square-round, which I found surprising. Her whole demeanor felt very rude and unwelcoming. My back was hurting, and she was rather rough with me, pulling on my hands and not giving me much room to move my legs comfortably. Unfortunately, the overall experience was unpleasant, and I will be finding another salon.

She only went from the cuticle to the midway point making each of my nails, oddly shaped and lumpy. In addition, while using the drill, she tore up my cuticles on top of misshaping my nails overall. I was quite shocked because the place looked very nice and seemed to have consistent business. I would never return. I have been getting my nails done for over two decades and this has to be the worst experience to date. I have NEVER seen someone not put acrylic on the whole nail to make it even but I guess you learn something new.

Kevin was extremely personable and I loved talking with him. He shaped my nails exactly how I wanted them: a cross between almond and stiletto. I absolutely love them!

Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, the salon was bright, clean, and comfortable, and I loved the thoughtful extras like the purse hook, phone stand, and drinks. I arrived a little late after work, and they were still incredibly accommodating and never made me feel rushed, even though my appointment went past closing. I left SO happy and will absolutely be back!

Unfortunately I won't be back. I was seeing Anthony for months prior to visiting yesterday and…read morebeing informed that he no longer worked there. With that in mind, I hesitated at setting up an appointment to fix a broken nail with someone new, but needed a fix asap. My pedicure was great-- the technician was detail oriented and continuously asked me for feedback and preferences throughout my service. Unfortunately, my manicure (the primary reason I came, since my nail was broken) was not so great. My nail was cracked on the side, and I suggested just cutting the whole nail and attaching a tip. The technician assured me that builder gel would fix it, and though I didn't agree, I assumed he knew better. The service overall was rushed. The crack in my nail reappeared as soon as I got home, and I noticed how sloppy my french polish was applied. Upon noticing, I called in right away to make an appointment to fix everything the following morning. Today I came in to have the nails fixed, and once again the service was rushed. To fix the broken nail, he added a tip and cut it without first confirming the length. I pointed out that it was shorter than the other nails, but if course, there was nothing that could be done at that point without completely restarting. I let it go, just wanting to be done with the service. He added builder gel and I could tell it was sloppily applied but just let it be. After filling and shaping, the side of the nail was completely filed down and the nail was awkwardly shaped. I pointed it out and he told me someone else would fix it, because apparently someone else was waiting on him, despite me making an appointment ahead of time. I just got up and said I would go somewhere else to fix everything. No one apologized or tried to rectify the situation. I just walked out. Edit: In direct reply to the business owner's response below: In no way was I trying to imply that I was misled into coming into the shop without knowing Anthony left. As I said, I hesitated at first, but made the decision on my own to come in anyway because my nail was broken and I had only been going to this shop for months. I was NOT expecting Anthony or his exact service when I came in. I'd like to erase this narrative that somehow I expected Anthony's service and communication style during this specific service. Based on my original review, I never once implied that. I only expected the technician to 1. Fix my broken nail and 2. Do clean work on my nails. Neither of those objectives were met. I am extremely disappointed in the shift of blame, as if I ever said that I needed someone to spend hours on my nails in order for the service to be deemed "good". In fact, it's one of the things I least liked about getting my nails done with Anthony! He was not fast, but at the very least I was happy with the way my nails looked. It's hilarious to think any woman would PREFER to spend "several" hours in a nail salon give me a break. It's funny how its being portrayed as if I have such impossibly high standards for my nails as if the service was not objectively sloppy (see pictures) !! You "didnt have a chance to recify the situation", but after I pointed out that the nail shape was messed up and told to go to another chair for someone else to fix it, I said out of my mouth "you know what, its fine I'll go somewhere else to have it fixed" I gathered all of my things and no one said anything. After said I would leave, no one said ANYTHING. Everyone moved on, which is fine! But don't make it seem like I just stormed out out of nowhere and no one knew what was going on. No one cared! Shout out to Tammy at D'Luxe nails on Las Positas who was able to see me shortly after leaving the shop and did a fantastic job fixing my nails and giving me a new fresh set (in less than an hour )
