    gel x nails

    Ree did so well! I loved it she makes you feel super comfortable and surprised me with glow in the dark nails

    Cat eyes with a heart

    This place is just fabulous! I found them when I first moved to the area, and they are more affordable than other local places, which is huge for me as someone who went back to school full-time and has to work a little less. Plus, everyone that has done my nails here has been truly wonderful. They're clean and bright and at a convenient, accessible location. I do have to give an extra shout out to Ri, though. If you haven't seen her yet, you're seriously missing out. She's not just insanely talented--meticulous, precise, and does your nails exactly how you want--she's also one of the kindest, most personable people you could meet. I got Cat Eye nails this time, and even though the photos are almost two weeks old (so they don't look quite as perfect as they did fresh out of her chair), they were absolutely stunning when she finished. Seriously though, they were flawless -- trust me! I told her they were the most beautiful my nails have ever looked. She even did a heart on my ring finger as you can see in the photos. They also have builder gel, so your nails stay strong and gorgeous for weeks. Ri is so fun to chat with, makes the entire appointment relaxing, and she's amazing at waxing too--so you can literally get pampered from head to toe in one visit. Honestly, I leave every appointment feeling so confident and polished. Ri's talent, care, and personality make her a total must-see, and you'll leave absolutely loving your nails.

    I got Gel-X nails for the first time here!! It's been nearly a month since I've had them and they're all holding on strong, I work a lot with my hands so the quality is amazing. The lady who attended me was amazing and because of her I will be coming back again!!

    They did this from a photo and followed exactly!

    They did an amazing nails! It was my daughter's first time getting acrylic nails, and they were so patient and kept asking questions and making sure that she was comfortable. I appreciate that so much. Thank you for giving her exactly what she wanted for her graduation.

    This is my 2nd time making the trip from San Francisco to Castro Valley for my hands and feet to blessed by none other than Ree!! I'll be back as a regular! My nails are GelX and my feet have never felt this soft! Thanks

    This is my go to place for anything nail related.

    Always great service at Anna's nails. They do more than just nails, tame your brows, and their pedicures are the best. If only they could serve champagne.

    Gel x Valentine's set

    I've been going to Rie at Anna Nails for a year, and I couldn't be happier. I get Gel X, usually with some designs! Sometimes I come in with ideas and photos from the web, and sometimes I am open to Rie's creativity. Be assured she can do it ALL. I was a complete newbie, but I always felt welcome in this wonderful small business. Chairs are very comfortable, and other clients are so friendly! You can tell how much this place is loved by the gifts and treats their clientele bring them after a trip! I don't think I will ever go anywhere else!

    Friendliest is always present here and they remember faces which is great rapport! Walked in appointment because my nails were too frail to keep the length. The warm welcomes makes it hard not to come back and the prices do not change drastically.

    Britney V.

    The quality divide the service in the people that were super nice to me. And they can do lots of designs like they can do cat eye ombre and whatever I would like to do they can do anything they are really really good at their job and they can do feet hands and they can do waxing they do the best service and I recommend it for you to come here because I had a very great time and I think it's better because they're super nice to me again super nice.

    I have been coming here for a while now and I can honestly say they are so kind and caring . They truly care about your nail health and take great care of you. My nails always come out great and last awile. I work with my hands a lot so I'm glad I was able to find a place that makes them last and still look good .

    Gel X set

    Let's just say if you want an amazing honest job go here! I finally found my spot, Rei is amazing and sweet! Does amazing gel x sets! Thank you Rei!!

    Mother and Daughter matching nails! My Melody and Kuromi designed by Rio. Thank you so much. They took good care of us and it was so much fun! Good vibes and the other customers were just as nice.

    Anna Nails has been my go too shop for years. I never have a bad experience with any tech. Each tech takes the time to listen to what you want, take pics to make sure they are giving you what you ask for and ALWAYS make sure you leave HAPPY!!!! Anna is the owner and OG of the shop, she's the best and runs a clean and professional business. I recently had my set done by Ri for the holidays. Let me tell you if you're looking for Gel X, acrylics or anything in between she IS that tech. Not only did she fit me into her busy schedule but asked to send her what design I wanted ahead of time and spent time doing my set. I never felt rushed even though it was late and she had a busy schedule. The talents are endless when it comes to Anna, Ri and the crew at Anna nails. It is a one stop shop in Castro Valley and you won't be disappointed with ANY of their services.

Vicky and Helen did my nails and they're very experienced, so call in to book with them! I also recommend calling in for an appointment but they're very accommodating to walk ins as well! If you're looking for a relaxing place while wanting to treat yourself, consider golden nails! I will say the parking is very limited but there is a parking area behind the liquor store and there's plenty of parking there. If you're unsure on where to park, I would ask the managers or the workers there.

He did apologized and explained I can go back without charge to get my nails redone by Helen who has better experience. In the middle of my response, he cut me off and said "I don't have time, you can come back or book. Have a good day". The customer service here is so bad. The comment was just to make them look better on Yelp. Please look at other people's reviews before deciding to come here! This is the first time I'm giving 1star review. I don't normally give reviews lower than 4 stars, but I'm really disappointed since I paid $120 for a manicure and pedicure that I didn't like. The pedicure was fine since it was just plain white polish. The reason I'm upset is because the lady who worked on my manicure seemed to have an attitude after I asked her to trim the acrylic shorter. I understand misunderstandings can happen, possibly due to a language barrier, but I clearly explained at the beginning that I wanted short almond nails. As a customer, I didn't appreciate feeling like my request was an inconvenience. She even said it's harder to work on short nails. It's frustrating to pay $70 for nails that I'm planning to remove the next day and pay another salon to redo. I still tipped her though I wasn't happy. I also blame myself for not reading the reviews beforehand since there are already a good amount of negative reviews. I'm getting married on Sunday, so things have been hectic, and this was one of the only salons near me that was open late. I really wanted to like this place because the late hours are convenient. * Some nails are crooked

I moved to Hayward recently and had been bouncing around trying to find a new nail spot--came across Sam's page because I was curious about Russian manicures and she does them beautifully. Just a heads up on the booking process: the site directs you to request an appointment, but it's not auto-confirmed--Sam has to accept it manually. For my first appointment, I booked for the next day and wasn't sure if it was going through, so now I just DM her directly to check in. Super easy once you know the flow. Sam herself is super sweet and easy to talk to. She recently went solo with her business, so it's just her now--and honestly, I love that. It's chill, one-on-one, and you can tell she really cares about quality. She has a gorgeous selection of colors and uses high-end products, which I think is why everything lasts so long. The first time I went, my nails were in sad shape and I honestly didn't think they'd bounce back. A month later? I've got legit nails I'm proud to show off. If you're looking for a new nail tech who's talented, kind, and really knows her stuff, definitely give Sam a try. I've already planned my next visit.

I was really worried about it tearing off and I was nervous to go to anyone to have it repaired. Sam was SUPER gentle and caring. I had given up and was resigned to having half a nail for a few months but Sam was able to fix it for me! I attached photos of my broken nail that needed repair, how it looked after Sam fixed it before polish (you can't even see the crack!) and the final set once Sam was done. I am so grateful and will definitely be coming back. Thank you so much!!
