    I'm never going back.
    Alexis L.

    LAURA! get your life, I came today 5/5, WAS THERE ON TIME & still had to wait 45mins. I told her to do my nails coffin shaped, the shape is TERRIBLE, my paint is lifting & my nails have been done for two hours. My toenail polish is lifting & she messed up my eyebrows. I had to remind her to cut my nails down b/c none of them were even. I gave her the money walked out, turned around and asked for my money back long story short her sister tried to spit on me & I went HAM, do not go here.

    This place is small but worth the wait. The nail techs are friendly and make me happy to spend my money here unlike many nail shops where they have attitudes and act like they don't want your business. They take cash only which is a bit of an inconvenience but I happily keep cash on hand for them and tip. They do neat work and Laura and her staff go out their way to make sure customers are happy with the work. I've literally seen one of the nail techs start over when she was 70% done because a customer was unhappy with the length. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because I make appointments but still end up having to wait longer because they're constantly busy. But busy is a good thing, so this nail salon is highly recommended.

    First time here! Let's see how they do?!?!

    I think I just found the my new nail shop! I got a fill and a pedicure and it was amazing! I received my fill first and the girl was so fast and detailed with her work and she panted a cute sunflower on my one nail... So talented! Then I received my pedicure and I think it was the best Pedicure I have ever had and the foot massage almost put me to sleep it was the best!. As I sat there I watched them clean the pedicure bowls and they cleaned it so thorough and more then I have ever seen at other places! I was so happy that I will definitely be back!!!

    Exactly what I asked for!

    I wanted natural looking nails and got exactly that! Couldn't be happier and the price is totally worth the drive for me (coming from Pleasanton). I'll be back in two weeks for my fill!

    Only $12 fill (acrylic) nice job

    I had a wonderful experience at Aesthetic Nails! I treated myself to a French tip pedicure, and the…read moreresults were absolutely beautiful. The staff was friendly, professional, and made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. They paid great attention to detail, and my French tips came out clean, elegant, and exactly what I wanted. The salon was clean, relaxing, and had a welcoming atmosphere. I really appreciated the care and time they took to make sure everything looked perfect. My pedicure not only looks amazing but also felt incredibly refreshing. I highly recommend Aesthetic Nails to anyone looking for quality nail services and excellent customer care. I'll definitely be coming back!

    I have been a repeat customer at Aesthetic Nails for quite some time, and like many salon clients,…read moreI've developed a preference for a specific technician. Unfortunately, my experiences on 7/1 and 7/29 have left me seriously considering taking my business elsewhere. Both times, I booked my appointment online and specifically requested my preferred technician. When I arrived on 7/1, I was told, "She's not working today," and was assigned to another technician instead. I did not have a positive experience with that appointment, but I let it go and assumed it was a one-time issue. I scheduled another appointment with my preferred technician for 7/29. When I arrived, I was told once again that she was not working and was being passed to another technician. What was even more disappointing was the interaction that followed when I expressed my disappointment about this happening twice in the same month. The owner was dismissive and told me that my preferred technician has had Wednesdays off "for two years already" and that I should have known. She also stated that I didn't understand what she told me during my previous visit. However, when someone says, "She's not working today," most people would reasonably interpret that to mean she is unavailable that day, not that she never works Wednesdays. That information was never clearly communicated to me. If this technician truly does not work Wednesdays, the online booking system should reflect that. As of the time I am writing this review, the website still shows availability for her on future Wednesdays, allowing customers to book appointments that apparently cannot be honored. What bothered me most was the lack of accountability and empathy. In my experience with other service providers, whether salons, massage therapists, or instructors, if the person you booked with is unavailable, the business contacts you beforehand so you can decide whether to keep the appointment with someone else or reschedule. Instead, Aesthetic Nails' process appears to be confirming appointments by text, having customers arrive for their scheduled appointment, and only then informing them that their requested technician is unavailable before assigning them to someone else. I didn't raise the issue on 7/1, but after it happened again on 7/29, I felt it was important to bring it to management's attention. Unfortunately, my concerns were met with a dismissive attitude rather than an effort to understand or resolve the situation. If you don't have a preference for a particular technician and are comfortable being reassigned upon arrival, Aesthetic Nails may still work well for you. However, if booking with a specific technician is important to you, my experience is that the online scheduling system and communication process may not be reliable or a positive experience.

I called ahead of time to ask what time they close, in which the guy told me 10pm. I told them I'd be there at 6:45pm, and when I did get there, I patiently waited 45 mins to be seated in a chair. I asked if they could do a 3D design on my nails (which I had asked over the phone), and they said they could, but by the time I was seated, and I showed one of the techs what I wanted, she said they stop doing designs at 7pm. I was very frustrated because I could have gone somewhere else if I knew I couldn't get the birthday nails I wanted, but at that point it was too late. So I found a more simple look, in which they agreed they would do. Holly did amazing on my pedicure, but by the time they got to my manicure, I could tell they were rushing. I'm a very understanding and kind person. I honestly wish I had just canceled the manicure. They didn't even prep my nails (i.e. remove my cuticles). The cherry on top was how expensive it was for such a poor job -- $150 . I feel so taken advantage of honestly, and it's a really bad start to my birthday now. She even forgot to put a top coat on my left hand and I can tell the difference.

I moved to Hayward recently and had been bouncing around trying to find a new nail spot--came across Sam's page because I was curious about Russian manicures and she does them beautifully. Just a heads up on the booking process: the site directs you to request an appointment, but it's not auto-confirmed--Sam has to accept it manually. For my first appointment, I booked for the next day and wasn't sure if it was going through, so now I just DM her directly to check in. Super easy once you know the flow. Sam herself is super sweet and easy to talk to. She recently went solo with her business, so it's just her now--and honestly, I love that. It's chill, one-on-one, and you can tell she really cares about quality. She has a gorgeous selection of colors and uses high-end products, which I think is why everything lasts so long. The first time I went, my nails were in sad shape and I honestly didn't think they'd bounce back. A month later? I've got legit nails I'm proud to show off. If you're looking for a new nail tech who's talented, kind, and really knows her stuff, definitely give Sam a try. I've already planned my next visit.

First, I was shocked that a basic kids' pedicure for my 8-year-old son cost $27. All they did was trim and clean his nails, followed by a short leg massage. That price seems extremely high for such a simple service, and there was never any discussion of pricing beforehand. The biggest issue, though, was my own nails. I paid about $55 for my gel manicure--$35 for gel polish, plus an additional $20 for a French tip and a small Mickey design. When I woke up the very next morning, less than 24 hours later, the entire gel polish had already peeled completely off one of my thumbnails. The French tip and Mickey design on other nails were also already lifting and peeling. I've never had a gel manicure fail this quickly. If I lived closer and didn't have to drive across the bridge, I would absolutely return to request a full refund because this level of quality is unacceptable. Between my dad, my two kids, and me, we spent close to $500, so we expected much better workmanship. My daughter's nails actually turned out great, so this review is strictly about the quality of my nails. One other thing that bothered me was my dad's pedicure. The staff kept offering him additional services during the appointment, and he kept saying yes without realizing each one came with an extra charge. By the end, his pedicure totaled over $100 plus tip. I really think pricing for add-on services should be clearly explained before they're performed so customers can make informed decisions. I've attached photos showing my thumbnail the morning after my appointment, along with photos I took the night before. It's incredibly disappointing to spend this much money and have a gel manicure start peeling in less than 24 hours.
