I was also quoted prices that were higher than the rates listed, which was frustrating and confusing. What stood out was that this wasn't just my experience--while I was waiting, I witnessed two other customers encounter similar issues with communication and pricing concerns. I had to tell her multiple time to paint the corners as she did such a sloppy job. Customer service, transparency, and professionalism were lacking, and based on this experience, I would not recommend this business.l

Luckily, Kathy was super understanding and friendly, she took her time with the service and checked in frequently during the pedicure. Initially, I was undecided on nail color choices, and Kathy brought out multiple options and helped me choose a nice shade. The nail salon is clean, comfortable, well-maintained and located in a convenient area. I was very happy with the overall service and the customer service was excellent. I'd definitely consider returning in the future!

I was hopeful to try this salon as it had fairly decent reviews and photos looked good. I've been…read morelooking for a nail salon in Alameda since my previous salon is a bit too far. However my experience was less than ideal. I went in wanting dip as I was reading it was stronger and I've been struggling with lifting off builder gel. Multiple staff kept talking out of it and that their builder gel lasts a long time, uncomfortable but hopeful I said okay since Builder Gel is better for your nails in the long run. I got one color, builder gel on natural nails, and just a simple shape. Nothing too complicated I haven't gotten elsewhere before. I went home and thought it was fine for the money, $45 for builder gel + $8 tip. Probably wasn't going to return but also wasn't going to write a review. However, after 1 day my pointer finger nail chipped and started lifting and my middle finger also started lifting. I called and they said to come in and they would fix it. I went in and sat for 30 minutes until someone saw me -- had 3 different people come look my nails in the meantime but never start prep process, etc. After 30 minutes I was taken to a different station and she took maybe 15 minutes to "fix" the issue. Upon leaving and having a time to look better at my nails I still left unsatisfied. I chose not to go back a third time as I don't feel confident they will be able to actually do my nails well. I gave 2 stars as they did offer and attempt to fix my nails and didn't charge me for the "fix." I would be cautious going here as it seems your experience may vary...

I recently moved from southern california and was having trouble finding an affordable place to get…read morea pedicure. All of the pricing in San Francisco is rather high in comparison to back home. I stumbled upon Vena's late at night scrolling through Yelp and couldn't be happier! The establishment is clean, the service was amazing, and I'd definitely come back again. I got a basic gel pedicure which was $50. I had grown out gel polish from about 3 months ago that they carefully removed. They even noted that the color I liked was sheer and recommended mixing 2 shades to make the color pop more. Other places would not provide their suggestion. The lady doing my pedicure was careful and kind. It took about 1 hour in total after finishing the gel and doing a massage/lotion with hot stone. I did not expect to be so pampered! I do highly recommend an appointment because they are BUSY! I had my pedicure on a Sunday and while they do take walk-ins, the salon was quite packed with existing appointments. They were honest with the long wait time with folks walking in which I appreciated as other places make you sit without real notice of when they can receive you. I can't wait to come back again and maybe try a manicure next time.

Uhh, I so hate that I have to update my review to give them a low rating. The staff is great. My…read morenails look amazing and they are super friendly.. the low review is for how the management tried to nickle and dime me, twice. From what I was told, fills cost $5 extra for short nails. They said it takes more material for shorter nails. So the only way to not be charged extra is if you get a fill when your nails don't grow in between fills. Unfortunately I will have to find a new salon that doesn't charge extra for short nails. Edit: 1 star for Joe's reply. If the fill cost $60 because you have to shape the nails, just say it's $60. The point of getting a fill is to fill in the growth so of course if you keep your nails short, they will need to be cut short. Great work from staff. Dishonest management.

Things I hate about them -- there's a very good chance the nail tech will hurt me. Well... love/hate changed to LOVE when I started seeing Tanya at The Nail Hub. She's the first nail tech who not only noticed the places where the skin on my toes grows closer and higher up on the nail bed, but made me feel like that was a normal thing that a good nail tech would notice! No more wondering if my experience would be blissful, or if someone would cut me! Enough about my trust issues. The Nail Hub is located inside of IMAGE Studios, in the same mall as the Alameda Target, though not TOO close to Target so it's fairly easy to find parking. It's basically an office building for salon service providers. It can be confusing to find their suite their first time, but after you've found it once, you'll get it. It's a cozy space with two stations each for pedicures and manicures, but has everything you need: individual plastic-lined tubs for pedicures (no questionable massage-chair-tub-combos), tools that ACTUALLY remove my foot calluses, hot towels, and a great selection of colors in both regular and gel (Bio Sculpture as well as others). Tanya also has her own collection of fun polishes, and has done some nail art for me -- stickers, glitter, ombre, magnetic cat eye! I can't wait to work with her more. Also, 5 stars alone for her excellent hand and foot massages. I have friends who have visited Tanya as well as other nail techs at Nail Hub, and they also have given me rave reviews. I always look forward to returning there, and I hope you will too.

I absolutely LOVE Tulip Nails Salon, and Quy is hands down the reason I keep coming back. She is…read moretruly one of a kind. There is no nail design too crazy, too detailed, or too specific for her she always delivers, and somehow makes it look even better than the inspiration. Quy is a true perfectionist in the best way possible. She takes her time, pays attention to every single detail, and genuinely cares about her work. I never feel rushed, and I never have to "settle" or second guess anything. I can honestly say I've never once worried about not liking my nails (even when trying something new) because I already know they're going to come out flawless. What really sets her apart is her consistency and professionalism. She listens, she suggests improvements when needed, and she makes sure everything is perfectly shaped, clean, and balanced. My nails always last (5 weeks retention EVERY set) , always look fresh, and ALWAYS get compliments. If you're looking for a nail tech you can fully trust, who treats your nails like art and takes pride in every set, Quy is your girl. Tulip Nails Salon is super lucky to have her and so am I. I won't go to anyone else!

(See my other reviews for example) it might look like a regular nail salon, but the artistry is next level luxury. You might end up having favorites but every tech is incredibly skilled and cares about the details. The salon itself is quite simple, clean and brightly lit. My first time coming in I saw Jojo, then Hannah, then Cherry, all great work. Today I saw Lee who is also the manager and watching her work I was in awe. She was doing my builder gel mani while booking appointments, managing walk ins, checking out customers and answering calls texts, I don't know how she does it all without error but I can see why she's in charge. They are quite busy, so I recommend booking an appointment and coming during slower hours (it's never empty though!) sometimes I find myself waiting after walking in on a weekday afternoon or morning even because their customers always come back. No matter what they always find a way to get me in. They are very transparent with pricing, they will tell you how much everything is, add ons shape change etc. and it is good that they do this. This is not a cheap salon, they charge fairly for their quality of work. The employees seem happy.
