I had a wonderful experience at Aesthetic Nails! I treated myself to a French tip pedicure, and the results were absolutely beautiful. The staff was friendly, professional, and made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. They paid great attention to detail, and my French tips came out clean, elegant, and exactly what I wanted. The salon was clean, relaxing, and had a welcoming atmosphere. I really appreciated the care and time they took to make sure everything looked perfect. My pedicure not only looks amazing but also felt incredibly refreshing. I highly recommend Aesthetic Nails to anyone looking for quality nail services and excellent customer care. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

During my fill the lady doing my nails was frustrated with me because I chose multiple colors (5 colors). She couldn't keep up with the order of the colors. The shape of the nails are bumpy and inconsistent. The model nails were not the same color as the actual polish so i asked to change the color and she started getting mad. Although i tip for the service, I sat in car unsatisfied with my nails and ask if could come back in to get them fixed. Before being able to sit down the owner made an unprofessional remark with and negative tone of voice saying " this time don't keep changing your color ". I walked out and I'm never going back again! read more

Aesthetic Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Castro Valley, California

I have been a repeat customer at Aesthetic Nails for quite some time, and like many salon clients, I've developed a preference for a specific technician. Unfortunately, my experiences on 7/1 and 7/29 have left me seriously considering taking my business elsewhere. Both times, I booked my appointment online and specifically requested my preferred technician. When I arrived on 7/1, I was told, "She's not working today," and was assigned to another technician instead. I did not have a positive experience with that appointment, but I let it go and assumed it was a one-time issue. I scheduled another appointment with my preferred technician for 7/29. When I arrived, I was told once again that she was not working and was being passed to another technician. What was even more disappointing was the interaction that followed when I expressed my disappointment about this happening twice in the same month. The owner was dismissive and told me that my preferred technician has had Wednesdays off "for two years already" and that I should have known. She also stated that I didn't understand what she told me during my previous visit. However, when someone says, "She's not working today," most people would reasonably interpret that to mean she is unavailable that day, not that she never works Wednesdays. That information was never clearly communicated to me. If this technician truly does not work Wednesdays, the online booking system should reflect that. As of the time I am writing this review, the website still shows availability for her on future Wednesdays, allowing customers to book appointments that apparently cannot be honored. What bothered me most was the lack of accountability and empathy. In my experience with other service providers, whether salons, massage therapists, or instructors, if the person you booked with is unavailable, the business contacts you beforehand so you can decide whether to keep the appointment with someone else or reschedule. Instead, Aesthetic Nails' process appears to be confirming appointments by text, having customers arrive for their scheduled appointment, and only then informing them that their requested technician is unavailable before assigning them to someone else. I didn't raise the issue on 7/1, but after it happened again on 7/29, I felt it was important to bring it to management's attention. Unfortunately, my concerns were met with a dismissive attitude rather than an effort to understand or resolve the situation. If you don't have a preference for a particular technician and are comfortable being reassigned upon arrival, Aesthetic Nails may still work well for you. However, if booking with a specific technician is important to you, my experience is that the online scheduling system and communication process may not be reliable or a positive experience. read more

Place is close by Very bright and fresh, love their decor Service is detailed and meticulous.

Aesthetic nails has the best service, quality work, and friendliest staff. It's really calm in there as I have the easiness of walking in, booking online appointments, or calling. You are greeted as soon as you walk in and they have an arrangement of refreshers to choose from. Additionally, I barely ever wait with appointments. It's not as busy and they make sure you're taken care of quickly. Their attention to detail is my favorite. I've gotten compliments on my french tip pedicures. I have no complaints, my gel pedicures last longer than a month until it's time to go back. read more

do not go to this salon unless you want to get mma on your nail beds! it took forever to soak off, it was burning so bad during and after the nails got removed. this is a new shop so they are trying to save money and be cheap and thats probably why they use mma which is extremely bad for your nails. lets not even talk about the shape of the nails, nor the design i asked for a simple french with polka dots. this set was 65$ dollars also. read more

I called to make two appointments, one for myself and my mom. They picked up almost instantly and booked us. Unfortunately my mom changed her mind, so I called back to update them. I asked to just remove the polish because the day of I had really bad flare ups, so I didn't want any chances of getting it more inflamed or infected. Be was really nice about it. It was also busy that day, but she made sure that I was comfortable and checked up on me periodically. Got the gel polish removed! Even better she said that they could make sure not to cut the cuticles and help change the color. Got sheer pink! Nothing to complain about, other than my hands. :( Will definitely come back after my hands/fingers are healed to get them done. read more

Immediately upon arriving I was greeted by multiple staff members and checked in speedily, and not long after was brought to get my basic manicure. Apparently the owner was my nail technician that I later found out during a group game activity when it was announced. Anyhow, my technician was gentle and advised me on what would be fitting for my very delicate and brittle nails. I came away with a red polish and gold glitter, perfect for the upcoming 49ers Super Bowl, Lunar New Year, and Valentine's day. Unfortunately as soon as I got into the car somehow the corner of my thumb chipped, and I am feeling quite bummed right now. My only negative critique is that my nail technician never once announced that she was moving on to the next customer and never came back to check up on me. It was another colleague of hers sitting at the adjacent station that checked on my nails and said I was good to go. read more

Amazing amazing amazing. The owner has been my manicurist for over 10 years and I will continue to follow her wherever she goes. I've always been picky and very particular with my nails.

The shop itself is clean, beautiful and trendy - obviously I have no complaints! Thank you Be! read more

First time visiting this nail salon on 10/12/24. I booked my appointment on Wednesday for Saturday morning 9:30am for a gel pedicure. When I arrived the place was already busy. Waited just a few minutes I was greeted and welcomed. Felt so friendly and welcoming here not one bit did I feel that I didn't belong. That was already a plus for me. The vibe of this salon is amazing. The salon lives up to its name, aesthetics are on point. I love the marble floors the plants the color scheme of the entire place. It's definitely a vibe. Super clean inside. They have a snack/drink stand inside the salon. Overall this place gets a 5 out of 5 from me. I liked everything about it. Cleanliness, welcoming, hospitality, and the service. I really loved how my toes came out squared shaped with white gel I got an overlay for an extra of $5 due to my big toe nail being semi broken. Overall I paid $70 for entire gel deluxe pedicure some may say it's a lot for a pedicure but you definitely get your moneys worth. The lady attending me never rushed and never pressured me to get any other services once I said no the first time. Definitely will be making this my main nail salon. The owner knows clients by name and addresses them by their name. She is super friendly makes you feel comfortable. Definitely recommend this amazing place! Will be coming back. read more

I moved up to the bay area recently for work and I've been scoping out new nail salons. I've tried a handful at this point and I can say Aesthetic Nails is my #1 pick. The ladies are supppperrrr nice, thorough, and the place is always spotless clean. It's also aesthetically pleasing and modern inside! And also TONS of parking which is a problem around here. They always get me in and out in no time. Also the prices are fair. $45 for a gel pedi. Other places will up-charge for everything. I like consistent prices and service. And the nicest ladies around. The owner always greets you and it's always a relaxing environment. Definitely come here, you won't regret it! read more

First time trying this salon that's next to my facial place (which is amazing! Must go check it out Be Beauty Center with Joey!). I heard they are expensive, and it is a little above the average I pay for both gel mani & pedi. They charge $80 for both, and I normally pay $70. My 4 stars is for mainly the fast service, cleanliness, and friendly staff. I had no wait time. I was greeted right away, seated, and 2 ladies came to help me for gel mani & pedi. They have the tools inside a sealed plastic bag, and the salon looks clean and bright, with good selection of nail colors. I just wish they had them all in one book, but instead they had several books, with some different colors in each, so I had to carry 2 books to my seat and show the color I wanted for mani and the other book with the color I wanted for pedi. That was a bit of a hassle for what I'm used to. The service was ok. They were friendly, but as like in other salons, they have limited English, so you only hear them talking to each other in their language and laugh. You will never know if they are talking about you or not. I hope not! Haha. Now in terms of the quality of their nail painting, I think the pedicure lady was much better! The manicure was a bit off. I have a pet peeve about leaving gel on the skin or cuticles. Also, this is the first time that I had someone file my nails AFTER the gel manicure was set and done. This must be a new technique, so let's see if the color will last longer. I'll probably give it another try because of the convenience of having a parking lot and it's in the plaza that I get most of the other errands done, such as getting my facial, returning my Amazon items to UPS, banking, and even getting a snack and boba. **Update** As I suspected, 2 hours later, the gel lifted and chipped off. What a waste of $35 manicure. Took off 2 stars, leaving at 2 stars total. If it lasted a day, I'd stayed at 3 stars. Oh well. read more

I knew of this place because I had previously been invited to check it out as a Yelp! Elite. I came in, without an appointment, and was seated right away. The owner greeted me warmly right away. They offered me a complimentary drink and turned on the massage chair right away. I got a gel pedicure/manicure and they did such a good job on making sure my cuticles on my hands weren't over cut and that my nails were all even. Their basic pedicure even had a salt scrub which felt amazing and my legs were so smooth afterwards. More than anything, I loved the price. I paid $80 before tipping which is pretty standard. read more

So I recently moved to Castro Valley and I didn't want to keep going back-and-forth to Fremont to my Nail tech there, who was becoming increasingly unreliable. So I went on Yelp and I found out about this nail salon. I called. I didn't get an answer, but as soon as I hung up, my phone rang and they were calling me back. I was very pleased with the response time, that was great. I wanted to get in right away and they were able to accommodate me. I got to the salon in about five minutes and was able to find parking easily. The salon is very clean and well lit. There are a lot of nail techs working . There were a lot of customers, which is a very good sign of a good salon. My Nail Tech was Tram and she did a great job. I was very pleased. She did not rush. She did it all by the book and she didn't cut up my fingers with the file like my last Nail Tech used to do. I was very happy with Tram and the salon. I will continue to come here to have my nails done. At this time, I do recommend them, yes. read more

Aesthetic Nails - I had my nails done in iridescent hot pink. I brought my own charms. We put on Hello Kitty on each of my ring finger nails. - Nail Salons Near Me - Castro Valley, California

Terrible experience/service. I was lied to about multiple portions of my appointment starting with the builder gel. I asked for builder gel with an extension but had nail tips added which isn't the correct process. The tech that I had drilled my nails so thin to where I kept getting burned. Not to mention I had to put my hand under the UV light over 15+ times (not even over exaggerating) with a timer of 1 minute per light session which is SO dangerous for nails/skin and can cause cancer. All for the end result to be sloppy. Not to mention these took over 1.5 hours to complete just for one nail to break off the next day. Would not recommend this salon. My first and last time here. read more

This was my second time ever getting my nails done. My friend recommended this place to me, as I needed to get my nails do e for my friend's wedding. I decided to go with a simple white french tip for both hands. Since I'm fairly new to manicures, I'm not really sure how to judge them but I thought mine was fairly well done. I let the tech choose the nail shape since I had no preference. My only critique would be that on some nails, it doesn't look like the white followed the curve all the way (not sure if it's because my nail shape?). It stops short and doesn't look as polished when looking closely. I didn't catch the name of the tech who helped me but she was super nice and made my experience comfortable. The station and store were both clean. I'm excited to show off my nails and see how long they last. read more

Be is the absolute best! The nail salon is clean and super close to my home. I found her spot on yelp and have been going here loyally since I've found her. I love how quick she is and how accommodating. Her customer service is amazing. I get my nails done twice a month. She's always open to my ideas (nail designs) and concerns (when I'm not sure how I feel about the look). I've never had a nail technician be so warm and inviting. Not going anywhere else unless I have to move far away. :) read more

I've been here a couple times now and love this spot! Now my go-to nail salon in the area. The owner is very friendly and cares about her customers. She does her best to greet every customer and understand their needs/wants. I saw her while she was doing my nails trying her best to get her customers served. Be is the owner and she created a beautiful salon in Castro Valley. I loved the decor and ambiance inside. I got a pedicure done amazingly here by her sister - the gel polish has lasted me at least two months now without any chips. The manicure I got from Be is great, she's skilled at design and very patient. I also got a gel manicure done by Tina who also takes her time and is very gentle with cuticles. Both times I showed pictures and they were able to come close to it. I would suggest Be if you want something very detailed/close to the picture. They also serve drinks and snacks. I got coffee and green tea during each visit. Such great ambiance and quality work. I can tell they truly care about their customers and will do their best to make you happy. If you're not satisfied with their work, I can tell they will do their best to fix it. read more

I am coming back to leave a review for the second time because the customer service is top notch. I had made an appointment for last Thursday but had to reschedule because I was stuck in Tracy. I thought I could make a later time that day but I couldn't. I had to call back to reschedule again! I certainly believed they would be annoyed at this point but they accommodated a new appointment without any fuss. I came in the following Tuesday and was warmly greeted. My service began promptly at my appointment time and everyone checked into to make sure I was comfortable. I hadn't been back since last year but they remembered me, my family who had come with me and even what nail design I got. Everyone at Aesthetic Nails is a great team and I look forward to going back. Hopefully sooner than the last time! read more

I called to see if they could do a walk in. She said yes and when I arrived the wait for very short. The place is very clean and well kept. They have a lot of options for colors and services. For the deluxe pedicure they have these cute bags with clean new supplies in a bunch of scents. The chairs are new and work well. The controls are right on the arm and where they sit so it can be controlled by them too. Dee did my pedicure and she was very friendly and did a great job, the massages with the scrub and lotion were wonderful and relaxing. I will definitely be back here! Another thing that happened while I was there.A homeless lady came in and the owner treated her respectfully even though she peed her pants in the doorway. When she walked into the place she asked her nicely to wait and she'll bring her drinks and food outside. Which she did do. The owner knew her by name and even though she did what she did at the door she still was respectful and nice to her. She also cleaned up and disinfected everything right away. Apologizing to all the customers as well. read more

I felt that anyone in the shop should be able to accommodate me. I was asked to return in a hour and a half. So I did. I had the pleasure of getting pampered by Lily. She did a great job on my nails!

I learned that the owner finally made the jump to open her own shop. I love that she has tons of support from her family/friends. My family and I love supporting small, honest business.
