    My nails went from busted and boring to beautiful and ballin' thanks to Caroline. She really cared about doing things the way I wanted and asked me about things along the way. Caroline was very patient with all of my requests for crazy nails and we chatted much of the time away. Her prices are very reasonable and she doesn't rush (I made an appointment). I'll definitely be back!

    Caroline gave me the most precise pedicure I've ever had! She's super detailed. She's also really fun to chat with. She is the only one doing nails at a place called Regina Salon in Richmond, so might not be perfect if you are going with a friend, but if you just need to get your toe nails to look happy she's perfect. highly recommend!

    I've had my nails done before by Caroline and she never disappoints me! I was really happy I was able to find her again because she is very precise on making sure your nails are looking lovely. She actually puts in care as well. Make sure you call ahead to book your appointment. Caroline is so worth it.

    First time trying Caroline; my nails and cuticles were weak and bad shape but she fixed them nice by leaving natural. I scheduled a gel color manicure but the condition of my nails were not good and Caroline encouraged me not tipi do the service which would have been more money for her. I appreciated she cared more about my nail health over the bottom line. I've been places where they would have done the gel and let my nails get more damaged. She gave me her full attention.

    Thank you so much to Caroline for doing an awesome job on my nails. It was easy to find and there is a lot of parking. I just moved to the Bay Area and am picky about who I let do my nails but I will definitely be going to her from now on! Affordable but great quality. She is also very nice & friendly and will conversate with you :) the other woman working with her, Christina, she was also very nice & helped with my nails. Thank you ladies!

    1 week later, still so shiny!! And no chips!!

    I have been going to Caroline on and off for about 4 years. By far she's the best nail.tech, my mani stays on for 10 to 12 days, other places only last about 3 days I don't know what they do wrong but Caroline always nails it literally will keep going back to her for sure!

    Caroline is professional on what she is doing. Even my nails is so short and small, she did it Thank you Caroline See you next time!

    Caroline is seriously the best. My nails stay *perfect* until my next appointment. High attention to detail, funny, and I will continue to come back.

    Bedazzled nails for a friends wedding! She freestyled them!

    I don't even want to write a review, but I have too! Words cannot explain how GREAT she is! She's the best kept secret in Richmond! I'am now currently living in Las Vegas, but I travel often back to the Bay Area just for her! Worth the trip & worth the trouble! She's friendly, patient, & very precise on her work. Takes her time cutting your nails, shaping/filing them down, etc just to make sure everything is perfect. Previous nail shops that I've been too made my nails look too thick with acrylic & sometimes nail polish would come out lumpy/thick or uneven! =( Caroline does them thin & polishes evenly! I recommend anyone reading this to give her a shot! She's worth every dollar & tip! You can book her in advance by calling or text messaging is what I usually do. She's amazing & is top of the line in my eyes! I will always be a returning customer! Thank you Caroline for everything! See below on the nails she's done in the past for me and many more to come!

My nail and I are best friends...Lol...I love to get them done...Caroline took her time to work on my nails and assured I was getting what i asked for....I had someone do coffin nails that she had to fix she didnt like that but she did it and she did it with a smile to make sure i no longer had jacked up nails.

Her work is consistently amazing. I love fun, creative nails and usually come in with inspiration photos. Every single time, Trinh delivers!! My nails always turn out better than I imagined. Sanitation is a big deal to me. I had a hard time finding a salon in my last neighborhood that followed proper sanitary procedures, and this place was such a relief. They clearly take sanitation seriously, and I always feel comfortable coming here. I have also had great pedicure experiences, and the barber and hair side of the salon is impressive to watch. Fast, precise, and everyone leaves looking great. Writing this review feels risky because I want to keep my appointments, but this salon deserves the love!!

That said, expect to be "squeezed in," cause I had to wait about 30-40 mins after arriving to actually be seen. But, still appreciated them taking me. I came in for a gel manicure on my natural nails, but 1 finger was chipped. I asked if they could do a single extension, they recommended to use builder gel instead. At first, it looked fine, but after it cured, it was noticeably thick and not shaped very well. As a result this one fell off after a week. I also tried to point out that the shaping on my nails looked inconsistent from one finger to the next. The technician told me it was just because my finger widths are different & it's impossible to make them look the same. I understand that natural nails are harder to make uniform (compared to extensions), but I was disappointed with the lack of effort. The gel manicure itself was okay. I got a pink color with chrome powder, it lasted about two weeks. Overall, for around $50, I feel like you get what you pay for. It wasn't a terrible experience, but the attention to detail, especially with the shaping and the builder gel, was lacking. The service was friendly though, and you get a stamp card for every visit.

There were two women in the shop and the younger one seemed to have an attitude. If I even took a few seconds longer than she'd me like to while making a decision she would sigh or get annoyed. Things were going well with my nails until someone came in and the woman doing my nails started to rush the process. The job is no where near the quality I'm used to when coming here years ago. After the younger lady was done with my nails I didn't really like the color either but that was on me, not her. And never did I ask for a change, just simply stated I made a bad decision. But that seemed to annoy her as well as she sighed super loud, got up then started talking about me in her language and started laughing , and completely became dismissive because I mentioned the color ,not even her work. I even asked her to do my cuticles and she did the most rushed job I ever seen. The cuticles made me hate my nails even more.
