    My amazing Birthday pedicure.

    I've been looking for a Nail Salon and after reading all the great reviews I decided to try them out on my birthday. I was welcomed with smiles as soon as I walked in. I loved the look of the place . The pedicure chairs were amazing and so comfortable. The bubbling water was just the right temperature. The chair gave my back a nice massage . I was given the best pedicure I've ever had! I'm sad I didn't get the nice woman's name who worked on me . I could tell she had alot of experience . She massaged all the soreness away in my feet and legs . I cant wait until my nails grow so I can go back and get another pedicure. I highly recommend Anna Nails.

    Gorgeous, red nails with gold accents. Rie delivered and more!

    A Truly Exceptional Nail Salon - Rie & Peter Are a Must! This was my first time coming here, and I'm honestly so impressed that I need everyone to know about this place. The moment I walked in, the whole atmosphere felt warm, welcoming, and full of good vibes. It's rare to find a salon where you instantly feel comfortable, but this one truly feels like a place that cares. I had Rie for my hands and Peter for my pedicure, and both of them exceeded every expectation I had. Rie - Hands/Nails Rie was absolutely amazing. She spent real time talking to me about my nails--my habits, what I struggle with, what I prefer--so she could help me care for my nails long-term, not just for the day. That alone stood out to me. Her technique is incredibly gentle, precise, and detail-oriented. Nothing felt rushed. She paid close attention to shape, length, and symmetry, and made sure I loved each step before moving on. One thing I really appreciated: the tips she put on feel like my real nails. No heaviness, no bulkiness, no thick edges. They feel light, natural, and perfectly blended. I actually kept touching them because I couldn't believe how natural they felt. It's the best and cleanest application I've ever had. Peter - Pedicure Peter was just as impressive. He was: * Extremely thorough with calluses and cuticles * Gentle but effective * Very attentive and made sure I was comfortable the whole time My feet feel soft, refreshed, and genuinely cared for--not rushed through like at most places. The polish application and massage were perfect. Overall Experience The biggest difference here is that they truly take their time. Not one moment felt rushed or overlooked. Everything was done with intention, patience, and care. The overall vibe was: * Easy-going * Relaxing * Warm * Detail-focused I walked out feeling pampered, valued, and honestly amazed at how beautiful and natural everything looked. Would I Recommend Them? Absolutely YES. If you want: * Natural-feeling tips that look and feel like real nails * A nail tech who genuinely cares about the health of your nails (ask for Rie!) * A pedicure that's detailed, gentle, and leaves your feet baby-soft (ask for Peter!) * A salon with amazing energy and zero rushing Then this is the place you need to go. I'm already planning my next appointment.

    It was a weekday evening and I needed a last minute pedicure. My friend recommended Anna Nails. I walked in without an appointment and was able to be helped immediately. I think they must only offer one type of pedicure. I just got whatever was the basic kind. It included all the basic manicure things. One thing that was different than I've had at other salons: they did the massage after putting on the nail polish. Not what I'm used to, but I appreciate the efficiency and getting a massage while I waited for my nail polish to dry. I was helped by Peter. He kept the conversation going and did everything quickly and efficiently. The regular (not gel) nail polish has stayed on pretty well even after a couple of weeks including some trips to the beach. Price is pretty on par with other nail salons at ~$30-40 for a pedicure. This is located on the main street in Castro Valley so parking can be tough. You can park in the neighborhood around the corner if you don't find a parking on the street up front.

    Everyone was so sweet, I love how my nails turned out. I asked for short acrylic nails, and got exactly what I wanted. The vibe was amazing, it was calm and full of kindness

    No product on the side of the nail

    I came in for the first time to this location. Looking at my nails I got I think they could've been a lot better for what I paid. The shaping of the nails are very un even. Some parts of my nail have no product and they just look over all not nice. I will say that the employees are very kind her but I think the person that helped me out to do my hands could've done a way better job... I did get a pedicure that was pleasant and came out nice which is why I am not leaving a one star review. I am to the point where I'll probably have to get them redone because they are not nice.

    Rie always does an amazing job and never disappoints, I usually let her freestyle a bit and they always turn out better than my reference pictures !

    Mary, me and Kim. check out my toe nails.  They're PINK!  If you're a guy whose toenails are yellow, cracked and painful, paint them CLEAR!!

    As I state below, I love this salon! Here's another reason: When I told them I wanted my toe nails done in Barbie Pink because my 11 year old grand daughter asked me if I could do them that way, how could I refuse?!? At that point,the whole salon got in on the scene and provided all the good positive vibes , and my grand daughter was ecstatic! So worth it! I LOVE ANNA NAILS! And my grand daughter, Lina!

    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.

    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.

    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!!

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

    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.

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!

    I have been a repeat customer at Aesthetic Nails for quite some time, and like many salon clients,…read moreI'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.

I called ahead of time to ask what time they close, in which the guy told me 10pm. I told them I'd be there at 6:45pm, and when I did get there, I patiently waited 45 mins to be seated in a chair. I asked if they could do a 3D design on my nails (which I had asked over the phone), and they said they could, but by the time I was seated, and I showed one of the techs what I wanted, she said they stop doing designs at 7pm. I was very frustrated because I could have gone somewhere else if I knew I couldn't get the birthday nails I wanted, but at that point it was too late. So I found a more simple look, in which they agreed they would do. Holly did amazing on my pedicure, but by the time they got to my manicure, I could tell they were rushing. I'm a very understanding and kind person. I honestly wish I had just canceled the manicure. They didn't even prep my nails (i.e. remove my cuticles). The cherry on top was how expensive it was for such a poor job -- $150 . I feel so taken advantage of honestly, and it's a really bad start to my birthday now. She even forgot to put a top coat on my left hand and I can tell the difference.

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.

First, I was shocked that a basic kids' pedicure for my 8-year-old son cost $27. All they did was trim and clean his nails, followed by a short leg massage. That price seems extremely high for such a simple service, and there was never any discussion of pricing beforehand. The biggest issue, though, was my own nails. I paid about $55 for my gel manicure--$35 for gel polish, plus an additional $20 for a French tip and a small Mickey design. When I woke up the very next morning, less than 24 hours later, the entire gel polish had already peeled completely off one of my thumbnails. The French tip and Mickey design on other nails were also already lifting and peeling. I've never had a gel manicure fail this quickly. If I lived closer and didn't have to drive across the bridge, I would absolutely return to request a full refund because this level of quality is unacceptable. Between my dad, my two kids, and me, we spent close to $500, so we expected much better workmanship. My daughter's nails actually turned out great, so this review is strictly about the quality of my nails. One other thing that bothered me was my dad's pedicure. The staff kept offering him additional services during the appointment, and he kept saying yes without realizing each one came with an extra charge. By the end, his pedicure totaled over $100 plus tip. I really think pricing for add-on services should be clearly explained before they're performed so customers can make informed decisions. I've attached photos showing my thumbnail the morning after my appointment, along with photos I took the night before. It's incredibly disappointing to spend this much money and have a gel manicure start peeling in less than 24 hours.
