Cabana is absolutely gorgeous. Great mani/pedis in an environment that feels way more spa like than the price would suggest.

Very pleased with the beautiful job Lin did on my nails! I've been coming here for years and I'm always happy with the service and vibe. read more

Cabana Nails & Waxing - Love how these came out! Thanks Lin! - Nail Salons Near Me - San Leandro, California

I have been coming to Cabana nails for YEARS and I am not sure if it was sold or what but today I go in for a regular fill. I get a new young lady who explained she would take off my color and someone else would do my nails. Cool. But it was obvious she was new at it. No problem we are new at something at some point. The problem came when the next person pulled out a small plastic box with a label that clearly read "soil tools." I immediately asked why it said that and she mumbled something. I said I can't hear and said soil means dirty. She mumbled something again. So I point blank asked her when where these implements last cleaned? By this point the girl next to her said something to her but I did not understand what because it was not in English. The girl started to take the drills she intended to use on me put in a dirty small glass container and pour alcohol over them. I had to leave because as person with diabetes this an extreme red flag. Any cut especially with a dirty implement can cost me a finger. read more

DO NOT COME HERE FOR BUILDER GEL REMOVAL. My nail beds are in so much pain and my nails have been left so brittle. Notice how my pinky nail is normal but everything else is red and clearly over filed. I honestly don't even know why the woman went in for a second round of electric filing after soaking my nails. Could have easily just scraped them off. I've never had this issue before, beware! Oh and also when I tried to remove my hands at one point because I felt uneasy, the woman just glared at me instead of asking me what was wrong. I saw the low reviews but I figured a removal wouldn't be difficult, I was wrong. read more

Good service. Many designs. Happy workers. I enjoy treating myself to pedicures with the works!! Hot stones, hot towels, flower water and a variety of other services. The atmosphere is welcoming. The vibe is relaxing, that is if I don't talk too much. read more

I went here steady, not because they do a better job than anywhere else around but because it's clean. But I have had enough of the overpriced services that are horrible quality. They wet your feet, push your cuticle and pretend to cut them. Slap some sticky gross nail polish on and send you on your way. They yap and yap and yap the whole time you're sitting there trying to relax. Most of them don't speak any English at all, even the basic words ; cut, file etc. even if you use pantomime. I made my last visit this Thursday when I had someone who didn't know what she was doing did my pedicure. I am so tired of getting crap service no matter how much I willing to pay. Oh and this place will push gel and get disgruntled when you just want regular. Sorry but I don't want anymore chemicals in my body. read more

Came in Sunday morning they told me to wait 5 minutes lady was nice called me over I told her I needed toes and nails gel, they said okay another lady came 5-10 minutes after me and they started doing both hers they skipped me to help her even after the lady doing my pedi told them I was next. It's the last time I come here. I used to come here once or twice a month. Please don't skip your customers! Rude, they lady saw me and just kept going read more

To think I just paid some $50 for a pedicure and it looks like a partially blind kindergartner worked on my feet. It's really no good pedicure spots in the bay area. This is so beautiful on the inside you wouldn't think that they serviced so poorly. I don't think everyone in this shop is licensed either. Please save your money and go elsewhere. read more

Been going here for years. I have the best nail ladies who do my mani & pedi. They have millions of colors to choose from. They do acrylic, gel, etc. They wax. I love the colors they painted inside. Super relaxing. read more

Correction to Monday's review! I went Tuesday evening to see if they could correct the nails that had chipped. Vivian was great and gave me a new beautiful set of nails free of change. I appreciate the positive customer service experience! Will definitely be back!! read more

This is hard for me because I really do like cabana nails and will most likely continue to give them business. Most of the time I have a good experience and my nails look great but too often they end up like this even after spending $58 plus tips. It's the inconsistency for me. Update: went back 6 days ago and had an excellent experience. The light pink pics are my nails after 6 days! Now that's what I'm talking about! read more

I've been coming here for 7 yrs. I bring my friends here I bring my roommates here I bring my out-of-town guests here yeah they don't even know my name. I'm pretty disappointed at my most recent experience. I did a walk in for a pedicure which was nice but there was no massage no lotion on the legs and I felt like they overcharged me but I didn't know that til after I asked to do do a gel color change reshape on my gel acrylic set on my hands. The lady over filed my nails down so bad she told me it was gonna have to be a fill. From a $10 or $12 service to a $50 service. I ended up paying $97 for a gel pedicure with no extra and a gel fill on my hand. That was not what I asked for nor what I budgeted for when planning the nails portion of my self-care day. Very upsetting. read more

Came here with a big group for a coworker's bridal shower. Modern decor with multiple private rooms to accommodate our group. Each room had a cute theme, with 3 chairs facing each other, which made it was easy to talk to everyone. Disappointed that they did not offer OPI or Gelish. They had some random brand that I've never heard of. Also, I didn't like how my nails were all filed very unevenly. 1 week later and almost everyone's nails have started peeling. Sadly, the quality is not there. Don't think I'll be coming back, especially for the price. You're paying more for the vibes, but that's about it. read more

I have had only positive experiences here! The staff is very friendly and always does a great job. The shop is very clean and feels welcoming. read more

Cabana Nails & Waxing - Exactly what I asked for!! - Nail Salons Near Me - San Leandro, California

My experience was not good. First off, they overcharged me. I have money to pay but don't like when people take advantage of me. She quoted me $32 for a pedicure and $42 for a gel manicure. When I went to the register to pay, the man said $89. I tried to ask him to explain it but he pretended like he didn't understand me. So, I paid. I am a big believer in tips so I gave a tip as well. The other problem is the lady lied to me about the availability of colors. I watched them pass around a myriad of color packs and when I asked her about it, she said that what I had in my possession was it. No big deal right? Wrong, my pedicure was messed up, the polish had a nick on the big toes (yes both) and the polish was on my skin. I was fed up and left. I wanted to point this out (write about my experience) to you all because you should know what you are getting in to. read more

These are seriously the worst nails I have ever paid for. The shape is NOT there, some of them are not even straight. It was almost closing time when she was finishing up and looked like she was rushing to leave. This is the second time my nails come out looking chewed and misshaped. I will not be returning here. If you like shape and quality i would look elsewhere read more

This place overcharges for there services. I went just to get polish off and get my nails clipped. Literally I kid you not just those two things and they charged me $42. Never coming here again read more

This place looked good initially... but no! Run! I paid for a soak off, new set and pedicure. I had two different people on my nails. One lady started taking off my nails using a tip and then decided to soak them. The second lady used the drill to eat away what the acetone ate off. Unfortunately there was still acrylic on my nails and they needed to be soaked more. I told her this and she didn't like it. She was trying to put a new tip and new acrylic over the old acrylic still on my nail. I was not about to let her do that. With attitude she took a clipper to my nails and cut the hell out of the skin under my pinky nail. I was bleeding. She ran to get like a wax and tissue to stop the bleeding. She apologized.The nails were poorly shaped and excess gel was was filed off after the color gel was applied and my cuticles were cut up bad. It still looked no better. My pedicure was amazing and I tipped the older lady 10$. She was awesome. I'm never going here again. read more

I'm very picky about my nails. I don't like giving money away. Before the pandemic my go to nail tech was Ivy, she's no longer there since things reopened. She would be the only one I allowed to do my nails. Fast forward I found another amazing nail tech her name is Kayla. Kayla gets your nails right. No one should spend money and receive a bad service. I would highly recommend Kayla. One day I scheduled for Kayla got there she wasn't there that day. The receptionist (male guy ) should have told me when I scheduled but he didn't, I didn't know until I arrived (no one ever said she wasn't there ) they made it seem like she was. I would have canceled but I came so far.Had another nail tech to perform the service it's was just ok. For that I give 4 stars but for Kayla I give her 10 stars. read more

Cabana Nails & Waxing - #487 my favorite color at the moment. - Nail Salons Near Me - San Leandro, California

I came here because my original nail salon had no appointments available. The store front looks very fancy but its all just a facade. They have no real tubs for your pedicure, it's just a bucket with warm water that they pulled out of the kitchen. Also, they have no free parking and the nail-supplies along with the place doesn't look very sanitary. Tracy- the girl who did my pedicure did an amazing job on my pedicure so I maayyyy come back again if my usual spot is booked again. Was it all worth it? Here's how she did....you decide for yourself. read more

I have had several good experiences here, but the last time I went, I was very turned off. I came in for a gel manicure as I always do. A woman came to help, and she highly encouraged me to do the gel powder this time, which I knew nothing about. I said I only had 40 minutes or so, and she said she could get me out in time. I decided to try it. Well, she did finish in time, without the hand and arm massage with lotion, and with it costing me way more. The manicure has lasted me less than a week. It's important to be transparent about the services you are offering. I asked her if this lasts longer, but she didn't answer. Make sure you keep your customers happy. It should not be about the sale in the moment. If you recognize consistent customers, make sure you are being honest. I have lost trust and will be seeking yet another place to go for nails. read more

I've been coming here every two weeks for over two years. The staff is friendly, the services are reasonably priced and my nails are always the perfect length. I try and make an appointment when I go, but if I can't then I don't mind waiting for the technicians I prefer. Lots of color options and many new and popular techniques available. Their pedicures are done with tubs rather than recirculating water, which I like a lot! read more

Cabana Nails & Waxing - Gel fill done by Mimi - Nail Salons Near Me - San Leandro, California

First time going here, they do not use the actual pedicure chairs. The lady used hand softsoap to scrub my feet, she didn't cut my nails did not remove all dead skin from my toes not around my feet. My refill was expensive I always go for short super short ok! I paid 95 in total! Not worth the money I've paid less with better quality! read more

Cabana Nails & Waxing - Nail Fun by Ivy - Nail Salons Near Me - San Leandro, California

For the record, I appreciate Linda and their wax technician (fun hair, forgot her name). The manager is also very polite. I came in here because I wasn't going to make it in time to another nail appointment in Alameda. From the reviews and some mani pedis over the years, I knew the work was not as great as it once was but I needed a fill before I left for a work event this weekend. It's really disappointing to see the quality of this place dwindle to what it is now. The technician didn't match up the length of my nails. My ring fingernail is longer than my index. Several are actually. All of the nails are lumpy...thinned out in random spots and thick in others. She nipped my cuticle on several occasions which I understand happens but didn't even apologize. She was apathetic to the whole experience. I used to love this nail salon. The ambiance is there and in the past I wouldn't mind the mediocre work because of the calming environment and cleanliness but after last night I won't be coming back. read more

After the nail shop I've been going to for years changed owners, I've been having a hard time finding a nail salon I like. I found Cabana Nails because it was down the street from where I work. I've been coming to Cabana Nails for a little more than a year now and I never had a bad experience. I love how they use copper bowls with lemon and rose petals to soak your feet. They have a wide range of colors to choose from. I get gel nails here too and the gel never peeled or chipped. They always take great care of your nails and pay attention to detail. I had a mani/pedi party here for my birthday and they able to accommodate my entire party even some who came last minute. read more

I've had a hard time finding a good place for pedicures and although the pedicure was okay, I wasn't a fan overall. The furniture is worn pretty badly, they had to ass acetone to the nail polish because it was old and even though we had an appointment, it still took 20 minutes to get into a chair and about 15 more before a technician came to start the pedicure. I still have three starts because the technicians were really kind and very present once they got started. Probably won't return. read more

Kim does my gel manicures and Tracy on the pedicures and I never go wrong. They are the best! The only thing that can use some improvement depending the vibe and mood you're going for is the background can be more quiet. The staff talk back and forth to each other which can be somewhat be unsettling if you want a quiet with soft music experience, other than that I've been coming to this place a few years now. Also , the gel polish they have a wide variety to select from. read more

This place is aesthetically nice, service was great as well....I opted for a gel manicure and regular pedicure. Everything appeared to go well. The next day, I notice ( I went to the shop late in the evening 6ish and went straight home, didn't do anything that would have affected my gel polish)... I woke up the following morning and two of my nails so Powerade to be chipped. So I went back that later I in thE day and they fixed it. The next day, several other finger nails started to chip... now mind you, I haven't done anything tthst would warrant any chipping. I've had gel nails before going to this shop and this is a first! I spent well over 80 including a 20 tip for the ladies that worked in me! This is unacceptable! Inferior products? Who knows... I will not be going back! read more

First time here, I made reservations for 4 of us at 11am. Didn't realize how expansive this salon was. The girls got seated first then we got seated but it took almost 15 Minutes before we got our tubs of water to soak our feet in. Once we got started there was a minimum of 2 person working on you, be it manicures or pedicures. It was fast and quick similar to a factory assembly line. Most of the techs did not carry a conversation, although some did. I had Alice, she was ok but with cleaning the nails, there was some pain associated with it. Thank goodness, I did not bleed! I felt like the kids got a better techs than the adults! I opted for gel nails for the manicure, I can't complain about it. It was efficient and fast. The techs that worked with the girls seems to be genuine attention to the girls. Thank you for that! It was my niece first mani and pedi, it was a great experience for her! My sis in law mani and pedi is already messed up, her nails were uneven and her toes already chipped. Pricing wise, a tad on the pricey side and the thing I do not appreciate is how aggressive they are in getting tips. They congregate near you and make sure you know who worked on you so that you can dole out the tips. For the 4 of us, tips of $40, due to the amount of techs working on you. May or may not be back, the place looks clean but it definitely nice in there. They don't have the massage chairs I like. I just don't like the upselling they have. read more

My wife went here to get their nails done and not only was the service questionable, but the final product was not of a good quality. When they were already being worked on by one nail tech, another customer came in and requested that they be treated by the same technician that was already working on my wife. These guys switched techs on my wife mid-session! The quality of the nails was subpar, one of the nails even snapped in half later that night! read more

I got a pedicure last weekend courtesy of my daughter. I was nervous because of the reviews. I actually enjoyed my pedicure.

I will definitely be back! read more

Cabana Nails & Waxing - Nail Salons Near Me - San Leandro, California

First time coming here, and I loved the look of the place. Went in during a rush and waited 30 minutes to get help, but it was well worth it. I showed Tina a picture of what I wanted and she nailed it! She works fast and efficiently and didn't cut my skin at all. My only complaint is that full set acrylics on their menu is said to be $30+ but before I had decided on going ombré, they told me a plain full set costs $50. I think they should adjust their menu accordingly to say $50+ because the ombré brought my price up to $60. Every acrylic set I've ever had has always been atleast $50, so I don't believe the price was unfair for the quality I received. Will definitely be coming back! read more
