Very pseudo spa experience. There are spa chairs, but they are not connected to a water supply. You…read moredo not get the actual spa effect of having your feet in the water. My feet are in a luke warm bucket, that is elevated on a silverware drawer. The massage on the chair is incredibly weak and it feels like it's hooked up to a dying battery source. My nail tech, Mary, asked me if I wanted a cut down and what shape. I told her and she proceeds to laugh at my broken toe nail. I'm so glad that my de stressing moment is funny to her. I'm also so sick of going to nail salons and being done with my pedicure in 15 minutes. My appointment was for 1615 and I was scolded for walking in early. It is now 1633 and I have foam sandals on because she doesn't want me to wear my sandals. The quality of work that happens in nail salons these days is quite low. My nails weren't cut to the shape I requested, they are all very very short and unevenly shaped. They look embarrassing. There is no art that goes into this and I should have just stayed home and did my nails there. One star for location and one stars for climate control and cleanliness. 10/10 will not be back here again.

The technician I had was pretty good and nice. One of the main issues I had though is that their colors are really limited. I wanted a more rainbow color, but their red wasn't quite the correct shade. The green was a bit brighter than I wanted, the blue wasn't bright enough and the purple was too light. So if it's something to improve, I definitely suggest in investing in more colors. The technician also doesn't seem to have a forte in nail design as strokes are clearly uneven. The second issue was just a bit strange as they really push for cash/venmo payments. Then when you pay via Venmo, the owner (or the man who I thought was the owner) told me not to list the reason for payment as their service. Tax evasion? So vibe wise, it's good for a quick job needing to be done. But I think I'd still rather prefer Flamingo in Walnut Creek.

Recently visited with my grandmother to get two gel mani pedis and I have to say, the service was…read moregreat! The workers are very kind and understanding. The woman doing my nails, after I changed my mind on the color, made a suggestion that I ended up really liking and they were very accommodating to my grandmother who changed her mind twice about what she wanted. The nails themselves were adequate! The cleanup on my nails was very well done and they did an amazing job with the shape on my grandmother's. The only bad thing I can say is that it took a long time to do the dip powder for her fingernails, but I expected it to be a while anyways. Overall would recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to get a simple, clean design with good service.

Third, the technician was rushing the entire time and seemed focused on finishing quickly. The polish was applied about a millimeter above the cuticle, and I had to point it out so she could fix it.

It's my birthday weekend and I'm out here with nails that were supposed to be the "cat eye" magnet…read moredesign... but the only thing feline about them was how sad they looked. I was devastated and felt stuck with these thick, dull claws for the weekend.... I jumped on yelp to find somewhere that could help me out and took a chance on Gel Nails Spa and asked for the best nail design tech. Enter Lynn, the nail queen herself. This woman completely rescued my nails. She redid them from scratch and when I say she slayed, I mean she put those other nails to shame. The muted green cat eye she did? Gorgeous. Elegant. Magnetic. The photo does ZERO justice; you just have to see them in person to get it. And shoutout to Julie, who did my French pedicure the night before, as I was just a walk in, because finding someone who can do an extra-square, modern French is basically like finding a unicorn, and she nailed it. Yes I'm picky. Between Lynn's magic touch and attention to details and Julie's precision, this place is IT. I came in sad and left flipping my hair. New salon unlocked.

Super delayed review but this place is my go to! I've been coming to Flamingo for the past 2 years…read more I typically don't get my nails done often, but when I get them done I go to Flamingo ! They've done my nails for my bachelorette and my wedding (not pictured). They've always done an amazing job making the designs I want and I'm not in a chair for 2 hours for a design which is a plus!! They are efficient and quick to respond via text. They always make sure the color and shape is good before they move forward. My nails LAST at least a month or longer. I get so many compliments on them and it honestly just brightens my day having beautiful nails. If you're in the area, there really is no nail salon like them. THANK YOU FLAMINGO for being so kind and continuing to give me the best nails and experience every time :)

I've been getting my nails done here for a year and a half. I initially had a structure mani and…read morepedi done at Walnut Creek and had a terrible experience, but I decided to give this location a chance and the experience was much better, initially. I've been every month for over a year and the first few appointments were great and I loved my nails. Over time I liked them less, but I didn't want to put in the effort to find a new salon just yet. But over time I noticed the tech I would always book with seemed inconvenienced to do my nails. I do understand they work hard which is why I tipped 20% everytime, even if I didn't love them, and I was polite and appreciative. Secondly my nails kept breaking super low, even though the gel is supposed to make them sturdier. Now after going to a new salon, I realize it's because she was making them too thick which was causing stress to the nails. Also, they've pushed my appointment back 3 times, and once even moved me to Walnut Creek. And while they called to ask, there was never a courtesy discount or credit offered even though they were inconveniencing me. Yet when I asked to change my color the last time I was there, they didn't have time for that, and they hadn't even applied the color yet. Also, they advertise "flawless nails" yet the times I've asked if something could be fixed they get irritated and gaslight you. I had chrome and I discovered bubbles which I called and asked to be fixed, especially because it's an upcharge. When I got there, they acted like they couldn't see the bubbles. Another time I got a red and the polish came off the tips in about 4 days. When I went back the receptionist had the same color and showed me hers were chipping too and blamed it on the polish. I asked her how long she had it and she said 3 weeks and laughed, so how is that the same as 4 days?? And if the polish is poor quality why have it as an option. When the tech touched up my nails she was clearly pissed and rough with my nails. I think the final straw was them telling me I would need to pay $40 more for single color because my nails are considered long and take more time. While I do understand that, designs are 120/125 and are allocated 2 hours, yet I'd have to pay $140 for single color? Yeah, no thanks. I regret being too lazy to find a new salon sooner.
