Absolutely Awesome Nails - A Hidden Gem in Walnut Creek! If you're looking for a place that truly lives up to its name, Awesome Nails in Walnut Creek is it! From the moment you walk in, you're surrounded by warmth, beauty, and joy -- nestled in one of the loveliest, tree-lined parts of town. The ambiance is peaceful and uplifting, filled with laughter, kindness, and the quiet hum of artistry. Tran and Tammy helped me today, and I'm so incredibly grateful. They have magical, almost mystical abilities -- the kind of care and precision that transforms a simple manicure or pedicure into a true spa experience. My pink and white full set came out flawless, and the gel polish change looked like glass. Every refill, acrylic full set, or silk wrap they do is pure perfection. Whether you're into dip powder, a French finish, or intricate nail art, their work is beyond beautiful -- it's truly artistry for the soul. You can tell Tran and Tammy love what they do. They're not just talented -- they're joyful, gracious, and genuinely invested in making every client feel radiant. The space itself is bright and serene, with a peaceful spa-like vibe that melts stress away the moment you sit down. Awesome Nails is more than a nail salon -- it's a sanctuary for beauty and self-care.

I love this place. I've been coming here for over 10 years. Cathy & the staff do amazing manís & pedis. I brought in a picture from Pinterest & she was able to replicate it perfectly!

I do the design 5$

Nice for springtime, I chose 3 different colors to mix it up, did the design on my 2 big toenails.

Very bad experience last time. I asked them to remove a callus on my heel, they scratch my leg. So I have had boo boo for next 10 days. I came and said what they injured my leg during pedicure. They even didn't say sorry and recommend use Neosporin. I am angry!

Nails by Kathy (Cathy?). Acrylic. Short coffin. OPI.

I started coming here about 6 months ago based on the recommendation of my good friend that comes…read moremonthly. The place is located in a plaza across from Kaiser Walnut Creek. The salon is very clean and zen. I like it that the nail estheticians don't talk to each other loudly in a foreign lanuage while they do their work like some of the other nail salons I have been to. I normally get the gel manicure and regulare pedicure. I also like it that they separate the manicure station from the pedicure chairs. I have been to places where they do your hand and feet at the same time but It was very uncomfortable having to stretch my arms across. My only negative feedback is parking. You will have to pay for parking if you want to park in the plaza (meter). I sometimes park at Trader Joe's and walk over. Reservations can be made online or by calling the store. I highly recommend this place.

I had reached out to this shop about a question regarding if they can paint my daughters nails. I…read morenever got a response so I figured I'd walk in hoping to get lucky. Once I walked in I was asked how I can be helped and as soon as I mentioned my daughter's nails, they just said no, they don't paint kids nails. My daughter didn't want to look any further after that. Totally reasonable as to why, every shop has their rules but it was the way she just didn't want to attend to us by her response was just meh. Can't really speak on the vibe but once we walked in we didn't feel welcomed. Maybe just not a kid friendly spot.

The only place that I've seen sanitize and wipe down the chairs after each customer. This is in addition to the expected standards - freshly sanitized nail kits for each customer and pedicure bowl liners. The cake decoration/bakery videos they run are super relaxing. Great idea for those of us who are not into doom scrolling on our phones while trying to relax. Their work always turns out fine. At $70 for a basic manicure-pedicure + tip, they get the job done. The only downside is that they could get a little aggressive with the cuticle work. The hand and foot massage are good enough. Overall, the place works for me.

First of all, I want to say that Angel was very kind, and I do appreciate the time and effort she…read moreput into doing my nails. She did a good job with the application itself, so this review is not meant to take away from her work. However, I was disappointed with the final result because the design did not look like the nail inspiration photo I showed her. I'll be posting the inspiration picture along with my finished set so others can see the difference. The design on my nails ended up looking much flatter and significantly different from what I had requested. My total was $100 for the set, plus a $10 tip, so I spent $110 altogether. At that price point, I expected the finished nails to closely resemble the inspiration photos I provided, especially since the design was the main reason I chose the service. I decided to try this salon because of the many positive reviews, so I was really hoping for a closer match to the look I showed. Angel did a nice job overall, but unfortunately, the final design did not meet my expectations, and I left feeling disappointed with the result.
