It was my first time getting my nails done, and the nail tech is a young lady, she was incredibly patient. She took the time to explain everything to me and helped me choose what would work best. She was also very quick and efficient. The place is clean, well-maintained, and has a welcoming atmosphere. I believe it's a family-owned business, and you can really see how hard they work. read more

City Nails - French tip as always - Nail Salons Near Me - Fremont, California

I walked in (no appt) on a weekday evening. There were 3 techs. 2 were servicing one client and the 3rd person helped me. I liked how quiet it was here. It's a small salon almost hidden in the corner of the plaza. They didn't bug me to upsell services or make me feel bad because I hadn't had a pedicure in a while. I didn't feel like they were talking about me while doing my nails. I say these things because that's my experience at most other salons. Average pricing. And my pedicure was done well. I walked out feeling good about my experience and still felt the same way once I got home. I'll be going back. read more

$28 for a pedicure. Called one hour before for an appointment and got seated right away upon arrival. The ladies are super sweet and they take their time! I'll definitely come back for a full mani/pedi soon. read more

Based on my experience, I would give this place 0 stars if I could. I made an appointment several days in advance, making sure to book with Jodi. When I got there, one of the ladies (I now realize is the owner) tells me to pick a color. I find 1 color palette at the front desk and was surprised their selection was so limited. I asked if there were other colors, and the same lady pulls out another palette with 100+ colors... A few minutes later she calls me over, and I assume she is Jodi. She starts on my nails, but every 2 minutes she is distracted by either a customer walking in or a phone call. She is hardly concentrating on my nails at all... I can tell she is rushing through the job. Once she's done, I'm absolutely shocked at the end result. She didn't work on my cuticles at all, and there are so many unfilled gaps on my nails. I could have done a better job myself. From reading the others' reviews, I realize she is the owner (Ann). Definitely will not be giving her any more business. From the low quality job she did on my nails, I actually can't believe she does nails for a living. read more

6 years later, and this is still my go to nail salon. Mostly because it's close by. I did hear that Anne (the old owner?) opened her new salon in Fremont called ZA Nails too, so I have that bookmarked for one of these days (she's the sweetest!). Anyways, for today's visit, it's my first time back since Covid, and I finally got Jody! I usually don't request certain people, but I heard great things about her. She stands up to her name! My gel mani and pedi turned out wonderful as always. Prices did go up (gel combo was $66 today), but then again, everywhere did so not a surprise due to Covid. read more

I'm not from here, I'm from Sacramento, I had an event to go to here in the Bay Area and didn't have enough time to see my regular nail tech. I looked up some nail shops that took walk in's. I wasn't sure what I wanted, so I let Jody do her thing and she killed it! Black ombré & Gold Foil with the Louie V. I'm absolutely in love with my nails. Only disappointment is that I don't live in the bay! Definitely need to see Jody at city nails read more

They were able to squeeze me and my cousin in for a mani pedi, which was much appreciated for a lot of other salons were booked. I asked for a full set of acrylics and got really half-assed results (My left hand looked better than the right). Charged extra 5 for so-called "coffin" shaped nails. The lady was rude for no reason, when i told her it hurt in the process she responded with "what do you want?!" I just said nothing and proceeded to feel uncomfortable with her doing my nails. The pedicure was delightful though, I would recommend that, it wasn't by the same lady who did my acrylics. This lady was a lot nicer and thorough which is unfortunate because otherwise it would've been five stars. I might come back but it's not my first choice. read more

I went to this nail salon for the first time and this is the very first time i got so disappointed of having my nails done. First i called to set up an appointment asked about the price she said 27 for reg acrylic mani and 37 for gel and if you pay cash it - $2. I paid cash still paid 27. Here's the sus part. I usually pay after everythings done but the lady that did my nail ask me to pay before she even put nail polish on my nails. Bc she said might FU my nail polish if get my money out of my pocket. I was like alright. Paid her with the tip. I fckn regret it. She didnt deserve a tip at all Second, when i refused to have a gel acrylic all of a sudden she start acting so bitchy. I told her i will be back and get it done again bc i just need to attend a party and ill change the color after. Then she started fckn up my nails i even told her it was uneven. Then she saw another customer started rushing my nails and didnt even bother checkn if its all good or not. I felt so frustated about her service. Im not rude and i dont wanna make a scene so i just left. I know you want to make more money but you have to treat your customer how you wAnted to be treated so they would come back to you. I will never go to your salon anymore. And hope you wont lose more customer because of your greediness. read more

The ladies here are very friendly. However, every time I've gotten a regular gel manicure here, my nails trip after only one day. I've never had this or any other salon when I called the lady and told her about it she kind of just giggled and didn't really offer me any solution. Very disappointing. read more

Amazing service. Such a beautiful set up! They have cash discounts! Their utensils are sterilized and packaged per customer. Hot stones are my weakness! Love it!!!! Will come again! read more

Got a new dip set done last week. First time I went in. I asked them to reshape the nail bc it wasn't coffin & they said my fingers were just crooked & my nail beds were different. 1 day later 2 nails break 4 days later 3 more are cracked. Came in and they said " I told you it was too thin". We never had this conversation prior. & I have never had this happen when I've gotten dip on the past. They threw some clear nail polish over my cracked ones. ( camera doesn't capture it well) And left my other ones deformed & a different shape (particularly the thumb) read more

The salon has changed management! Some of the staff is new but I also recognized a familiar face. The new owned, Anne, is diligently trying to improve the salon. I thought it was good before so I'm interested to see what she will do ( so far, she's changed the decorations on the wall). I believe prices have been increased slightly as well, by a few dollars. I had my shellac mani done by Anne. She did a very through job with good attention to detail. My only suggestion would be to go a little gentler on the cuticles, at times I felt like they were being pulled. The reason I am docking a star is due to lack of fresh air. All the doors and windows were shut so the salon smelled very strongly of chemicals. I was contemplating whether to stay or go but I really wanted to get my nails done for a special occasion so I stated. However, I would not subject myself to breathing in such harsh chemicals on a regular basis. Please get some ventilation!! Otherwise, great job! read more

Today was the second time i went to City Nail and their customer service is exceptional. I went in with a picture of how I wanted my nails done and after much back and forth Rosie did my nails beautifully but not the design exactly I wanted (If tie dye is the desire, youd love it .A little disheartened I explained to Anne the owner the situation she insisted we take it off and start over. I felt so badly as Rosie did such a great job on my nails but Anne re-did my nails spending another hour on me making sure I loves it. which I do. I am going to post a picture of my neon yellow nails with a thin orange stripe. BTW I am going to Vegas for EDC and I wanted something fun but still classic. I definitely feel I hit that mark. I highly recommend this place to everyone who wants to be treated like it's not just your nails but am experience. read more

So I went in today with my grandma for her birthday. Her service was great (Tea took great care of her) . My service was terrible. The women that helped me rushed me out! They didn't even give me an option for which pedicure I want. She quickly rushed through the basic pedicure and finished before I even realized I wasn't given a choice. When I was finished with my pedicure they didn't even wash the basin that my feet had been in. And I watched them stick someone else's feet in a basin that had just been used by someone else.... without washing it. I then got an acrylic fill on my hands. They charged $45 because I "had 3 broken nails".... what?! An extra $20 because of broken nails?! I've never had that happen at a salon in my life! I also left with crooked nails and they weren't even painted all the way. (I tried posting a picture but my phone won't focus) they also charge an extra $2 on every service if you use your credit card. Overall the service received by my grandma and the service received by myself was like night and day. I'm concerned about the cleanliness of this place, they rush you out and they overcharge for way too much. I will not be back. read more

This place is awesome. The staff is very sweet. It's in my vicinity. The service was wonderful. Loved getting pampered by Anne. She was so kind and sweet. I will definitely be recommending this place to my friends and family. The one thing I found was a bit different at this place was that you have to pay an extra $5 for cuticle removal. Everywhere else I have gone in the past, cuticle removal is included in a manicure so I guess it all evens out with the pricing. It initially feels like it's a cheaper price but you add a couple other things here and there and it all comes out to be the same as other places. I was extremely satisfied with the services. I will be going back for sure to see Anne. read more

So, here I was scopin for a new nail joint. Found it. I partook in Sparkle and Christina Nails -- even started my journey with Venus. I guess you can say I'm fickle, but it's one of those things: it takes a few tries to get it right. Had a day off ans called ahead if they were okay with walk-ins (mind you, my anxious ass calls 3 minutes after they open). Luckily, they did and had an open morning. Arrived there, and was imnediately greeted with the usual "we-just-opened-you're-here-but-we-all-on-our-phones" faces. I was also seated and had the fortune of being manned by Jodie for my gel mani and Tui with my pedi. Now, I don't do well with small talk -- so I was glad it was just a service with the pleasantries out of the way and silence. With a pillow on my lap, my toe hair staring at me from the massage chair tub, I was loving the vibe. Service was quick, as expected from a slow morning on a rando Thursday. They were nice and focused. I felt bad for Jodie when I left my massage chair at MAX and she struggled to get an even coat onto my nail. So glad she quickly turned it off, and fixed whatever the massage chair trolled. Don't have much else to say, but I know where I'm going now! Plus, c'mon, they have McDonald's in front?! Prime real estate. You did good, City Nails. read more

City Nails - Gel Color#444 "Short n Sweet" totally washed out by my lighting, sorry. - Nail Salons Near Me - Fremont, California

New owners as of 2 months ago and almost all new employees, so I've been told. The increase in number of girls immensely helps with the wait time issue by leaps and bounds -- huge plus! Tons of quality varnish and I can't wait to slowly try them all out. Linh was a doll. Spent two hours meticulously grooming my winter toes (poor girl) and sculpting a beautiful full gel set for me. The one negative is the slight price increase... $18 for a pedicure, $28 for the gel set, and $5 for nail design (which is standard). Not sure how much a regular manicure is, but I'll update that info the next time I come in to get girly-fied. Side note: I didn't hear them utter a single negative word about their English speaking customers in Vietnamese haha! So there's that. read more

8/6 was my first time here (I tried to make myself like this place) BUT overall I was not impressed & a week later my nails aren't holding up to par w/ what I am used too. . . People rave about the prices but my soak off & Ombre full set was over $60 and to me that is overpriced considering what I'm used too and what I usually get done! PS I went to cosmetology school over 4 years ago && worked at a salon previously & I am very knowledgable with salon material, pricing, products, and what goes into how a salon is run etc & I purposely didn't share what I know because this tells me if they care about their customers or if they're trying to make quick $$... the pregnant lady (who I'm assuming is the owner?) was trying so hard to convince me about what it was I was paying so much for and was rambling about the quality of their work&products they use. OVERALL, my experience just didn't sit well with me...& I won't be back &even tho I'm not very satisfied I must add Jody who did my full set was extremely pleasant and I definitely enjoyed how she takes her time and is extremely nice & if i was forced to give them a second chance I would definitely come back exclusively to Jody & if you choose to come here I recommend Jody & I give her 5 stars & her only !! read more

I hardly ever get my nails done but when I do it's either with my sister when we're in the same state together or for when it's only a special occasion. I guess I don't really like to pamper myself in that sense because I'd rather go shopping. ;P This is my go to spot that my sister always goes to. She's here like every month as she says to get her nails did in all different colors and such. So she brought me to this place as our ritual sister bonding manicure pedicure session. We went around noon on a weekday and it wasn't that busy as we were able to sit right away and start on our pedicure. I forgot who was working on me but she did a good job in cleaning all my cuticles and a clean finishing to my nails. I got some kind of hot red for both my fingers and toes. They convinced me to get gel nails for my fingers which costs a little more but it lasts longer. And sure enough it's been 2 weeks and I haven't had a chipped nail yet or the polish and it still amazingly looks glossy. The prices are fairly reasonable compared to other salon shops I've been to. I paid around $90 for both my sister and I's mani and pedi as she got a refill and a change of color for her set. I usually get a design but I decided to keep it simple to a plain color. There's lots of colors to choose from and a nail sample color to browse through as well. The nail shop is a little small but there were several stations that could cater to at least 5 at a time. It's clean and well maintained. They offer a discount if you pay cash. Saves a little there. Overall, I'd come back when I'm in town again. read more

I have been coming to City Nails for years to the point where I can have any nail tech take care of me. If you're looking for a quick, gel mani-pedi, this place is for you. You can save $2 on any service if paying with cash. A gel manicure is $22 cash vs $24 if you use credit. I'm very minimal when it comes to my nails but if you're into the whole acrylic design, I would book an appointment with Jody. I always get my nails short and painted white so I am not picky with whoever does my nails. read more

Called in Wednesday Dec 23rd to see if they had any walk in availability, which they did. Got sat right away. Had a guy do my nails it didn't take very long for a shellac manicure. He even recommend to add some glitter which I did. Unfortunately, the manicure didn't last major chipping. It has only been a week and a day and 2 of my nails are half peeled. Terrible quality. Really was hoping to find a new nail place with all the really great reviews, however only found myself to be disappointed. read more
