I came back after the last great experience, total disappointment today and paid more for less. Last time I got exact same service the deluxe spa and gel. Today it took longer as both were going back and forth exchanging clients. If I may recommend, to stay with client from start to end. It will be better service and you get loyalty. Though it was only $5 more it's the integrity for me to stay loyal. Unfortunately they lost a customer with today's experience. Hope they can reflect and do better. The deluxe came with a drink however this time no drink was offered . read more

Pros: the place is clean and has been re-decorated since prior management. Parking is either paid parking or there's a parking garage across the street. Also, the tech that did my gel mani set recently was sanitary - she removed her tools from a bag, versus a plastic basket at her station like the techs before her. Cons: This place has really declined though since Vincent was there. I was there last year after he left and the former pedi techs were sharing implements between themselves that were in the nail carts! I ended up getting nail fungus! So I stopped going. I went back recently and still wasn't really happy with my gel pedicure nor my full gel mani set. My mani gel nails were uneven, thick and she didn't apply the powder all the way up to my cuticle line so now I have a noticeable space between my cuticle and my thick acrylic nail. I had no energy to make her make them all right. I just wanted to get out of there. Lastly, both times I was there recently there were gnats flying around my face which was annoying. I probably won't be going back. read more

I've been going for 10 years in this place then I heard the owner's left. I didnt realize their work ethic is also vanquished. I am disappointed and frustrated because nail stylist (V) don't have the decency to tell That she disfigured my face. Hope you learned your mistake and let this thing happen again or just tell the client that you failed. Also, it's not very classy talking to your own language while in front of clients - it's plebeians read more

One of the best basic pedicures I've ever gotten. by far was from here today. They are quite busy it seems like and was able to do a walk in still. The pedicure has the usual filing and warm water etc with a warm lotion and light massage. I think their lotion and massage here in the basic one was really decent, very relaxing, and their staff was all welcoming. It was $38 total cash - more than worth it for what you pay for. read more

Solid 3.5 here mainly because they took us in ASAP, the shop manager/owner was friendly and professional without being too much. I enjoyed his conversation. He's an amazing botanist. Grew all the ivy himself and gave me some tips on how to do it at home. Busy, busy place so they must be doing something right. Zelle or cash only please!!!! Husband had the deluxe pedicure and basic manicure. I had a basic gel pedicure and a buff manicure. Pictured to follow. $88 for a pedicure with calloused treatment. WtF!!??? I've been to Forbes Spas and didn't pay that much. There are no price list anywhere. I want a lot more atmosphere for $88. Shocked me, seriously. Definitely worth $60-70 but $88????

I was in Walnut Creek today, and felt like treating myself to a manicure and was desperately in need of waxing. This nails shop/salon was opened and there were a few customers, but the wait was very short. I received a simple manicure, and my nails look great, and I also did an eyebrow wax and upper lip wax. I am extremely satisfied, and the manicurist was very accommodating. I use a wheelchair and she completely worked around my needs. My friend wears acrylic nails and did a fill. She was very satisfied, and again felt the manicurist was extremely nice. Enter time to listen to her specific wants. I would definitely go back. I live in Berkeley and the nail shops in Berkeley, or rather run down. Delicate nails in Walnut Creek is upscale and the ladies that run it keep it very clean. They really run a tiptop operation. I highly recommend them. read more

Came here Vincent done my nails with black powder cat nails, 4 days later two nails just came off, told Vincent about issue, he fixed the two, the next day the other 8 just popped off, went back week later, gotten these done not even 24hrs later a nail broke off!!! Ok Don't be open during covid, period . The last time you call some a lier, know dame well your nail shop is outta pocket, if I don't have my money refund to me ima fashow mess up y'all money due this pandemic, it only takes one phone call. And ima be as petty as Vincent rude ass was when he hung up in my face... Try to be a good person and support foolishness, but u want to be rude and act a fool and hang up in my face I can act a fool just as well and with good reason make sure the shop and the authorities know exactly what y'all are doing there once the shut down happens again!!! read more

Omg I love this place it's super cute! It's tucked away in a corner off of locust next door to a salad spot called lettuce. Parking is cheaper in the parking garage FYI. I highly recommend Kayla she is amazing. She is very attentive, a great listener, and she is definitely a great artist. She takes her time but is also very quick and efficient. I've never had such a talented nail tech. I'm grateful to have finally found someone who is very creative and knows what I like and that is super patient with me. read more

Covid made me realize how much I appreciate this place. I mean even before the whole lock down I was pretty faithful lol only cheated on this place twice. Before covid, they get so busy but they always try to be on time. This one time I had to wait a little bit and they upgraded my service. The staff here are very nice and skilled, every single one of them. They don't talk shit about their customers either. Unlike other places when they can't accommodate you, they will tell you to come back another time so you're not just sitting there waiting for hours. A few times I see the customers come in to fix 1 nails, the owner Vincent always accommodate and get them out fast. Same for me, one time, I had acrylic and broke one, he fixed it for free because it was like the very nice day. And I left a good tip. They don't cut corners when doing nails. They always go above and beyond to make sure you walk out happy. The price is very very reasonable. This is for sure the place to go. read more

the shop is under new management but I still love to come. I'm gonna miss the old crew but the new crew does great work. This is my 3 visit since the crew changed and I must say the new crew does a great job. My mani pedi last for a month. Even after growing out my nails stayed attached. Go visit. you will not be disappointed read more

Went in yesterday and got a full set by Vincent. He's usually very good and my Nails looked nicely shaped but I guess I should've inspected them a little bit better in the shop. I got home and the first thing my boyfriend and I noticed was how grown out they looked. I messaged them on Instagram explaining my frustration when I got off work at 1030 pm the same day. My Message was left on read. It really takes a lot for me to complain or even bring it to someone's attention. I know I should've called but I started work right when they opened today and hoped they would've at-least responded to me. At this point I'd rather go somewhere else to have them fixed. read more

I paid $45 for this gel acrylic fill. And it was not worth it. My nails look very bumpy and chunky. One of my hands is even but my left hand is a mess. She also left some polish on my thumb. This set to me is worth $35, one hand is what I asked for and the other one is all messed up. Each nail is different. I just moved here from Hawaii and saw this place with great reviews... really sucky my first time here experience was not great. read more

MY SEARCH IS OVER. VINCENT IS A GODSEND WITH AMAZING TATTOOS! I just moved back to the area after being away at college for 3 years and I've been looking for a nail salon that does great acrylics... I've searched and tried SO many different locations around the East Bay and to say the least... they've all been disappointments. I took a chance and made an appointment online for a fill after going to another location (look for my other review on Polished Perfection...) because I saw the beautiful work they did on yelp and on instagram. I had to write in the comments that I requested Vince and that my last nail appointment has left my nails in horrendous condition. It took me two minutes to fill that out and get it confirmed and when I got there the prices were great-- I paid $48 including tip for a fill, gel color, and nail design on all ten fingers. The inside smelled so clean and didn't smell overwhelmingly of acetone which was nice. The stations were also very clean and everyone was tidying up after every part of their appointment-- not just at the end! I had my nails filed down by another woman at the shop while Vince finished up his appointment with another woman who was getting SUPER cute acrylics, and Vince finished my nails off. He was so understanding when I asked him for thin and tapered square nails because I told him how unhappy I was about the last set I got. The finished product? FLAWLESS! They were even, they were thin, they were perfectly shaped, and the design was amazing too. I can't wait to go back and get my nails did with Vince again in a few weeks. read more

Probably the worst fill I've ever had. It took the technician 25 minutes to do the whole fill, I trued to give him benefit of the doubt but the results are pretty bad as you would expect when you are rushed through the whole appointment. What makes this service even worse is he had attitude with me from the moment I sat down which is crazy because i didn't even exchange any words with him to have an issue with me. If i could give this business zero stars I would. Don't wwste your money here. read more

I wanted something different so tried pink and white ombré (as it grows out looking natural and not wierd, kinda like a low maintenance style). However when I get oil stains, I had to rub lemon or baking soda to take off food stains lol. They accept cash and have an atm too. They charged me 55$, and it lasted for 3ish weeeks read more

Honestly, I understand how busy this place was but why should I suffer for poor service especially with a schedule appointment. I had to wait an extra 15 mins and after getting a seat my hands were soaking in water long enough to wrinkle. The lady doing my manicure did a horrible job. Everything was rushed. It was a very unpleasant experience and not worth the money. I'm sure my pics will speak to the quality of work. This is not a place I would recommend or return to. read more

This is the worst nail salon with unprofessional staff who do not know how to properly do nails. I have never experienced such incompetence from a nail salon. There is nothing "delicate" about the way the staff does the work. Rather, their impatience and sloppy work cause injury to customers. Unprofessional, unsanitary, and unsafe. Do not trust this place. read more

So I'm very picky when it comes to nail salons and I have to say Vincent is the BOMB! Not only is he a sweet heart and has awesome conversations with you but his work is amazing. I've been coming here for a solid year now and the whole team that works here is amazing Kim is bomb at eyebrows and pedicures. They are very clean and don't take long either. Side note they also have some good jams that play inside LOL. If your looking for a nail salon please come here you won't regret it! I enjoy every minute of it! read more

It's so crazy how bad this can be. First, I had acrylic powder ($55) for four days and all of them already have bubble inside the nail and uneven. One nail get broken so I need to fix it somewhere else. They were shocked how bad it looks for just 4 days. Don't know why there are so many good reviews strongly believe they are fake reviews. I never expect nail shop has good customer service, but their attitude rushing client to leave make me feel so uncomfortable. I know you want to make money during covid19 but you can't rush us and did a bad job our money is money too. Look at my toes, I can even apply it better on my own. I've never had this bad experience in a nail shop, it's just so bad that another nail job saw my nail and laughed about how bad it looks (bubble inside my nail and uneven line). I saw one of the review saying how short it would last, I believe now. read more

Okay before you read my review, just know I really tried to support this small business and gave them a try FOUR times. The first appointment I had was pleasant. The entire staff was extremely nice to me BUT I almost immediately noticed that my new acrylic set did not look like it was entirely glued to my nail. Having worked in customer service for so long, I'm not one to complain so I did not say anything. Within 2 days, 2 nails had already fallen off and my hair would get stuck between the acrylic and natural nail when I would shower, which goes to show the acrylic nail was never placed correctly. I politely asked for my missing nails and loose nails to be fixed in my next visit. I continued to experience the same issues following the next 3 appointments I had. Nails falling off after 1-3 days and gaps between the acrylic and natural nail. Still, I continued to go to this salon. I did not have the courage to find a new salon until August 24th (my last visit). I texted the owner Vincent for an appointment and he said his only opening was at 8 AM. I agreed and was there at 8 AM, in the cold, outside. As I am sitting in my chair, again, IN THE COLD, Vincent is making appointments over the phone stating the same thing he told me but for later times. "I'm busy today so I can only see you at noon". "I'm busy today so I can only see you at two". I do not like the dishonesty. Again, I did not say anything or call him out on his lies because I am not one to complain. A few minutes go by and one of the ladies politely tells me that next time I schedule an appointment, to ask for a pedicure and fill vs. asking for a mani-pedi that takes a different amount of time. I sincerely apologized and she said it was okay. Within 10 minutes, Vincent the owner goes to the chair next to me where there is a young girl sitting, visibly upset and screaming that she messed up his scheduling for the day because I asked for a mani-pedi rather than a fill and pedi. The girl tries to tell him she was not the one to make that error and that it was me but Vincent was so upset, he didn't give her a chance to talk. He then realizes it was me and then he started to scream at me until one of the other ladies told him to stop. Feeling bad about how I was treated, I finally decided to look into another salon. I drove to Livermore and went to Petals & Polish (they are AMAZING by the way. Ask for April!). There... we made the discovery that my NAIL WAS BEGINNING TO GET INFECTED DUE TO THE DIRT GETTING TRAPPED BETWEEN MY ACRYLIC AND NATURAL NAIL. If you don't believe me, PLEASE look at the picture attached to this review. People please for the health of your nails DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE. read more

Made an appointment and went in for a mani/pedi based on the favorable yelp reviews. Service: great (5 stars) Pedi: good and includes a foot/calf massage (4 stars) Mani: poor (1 star) Overall, it was a decent visit. However, I was severely disappointed with my manicure. The young lady was nice and provided good customer service so I made sure to tip her 20% before she painted my nails. Why was it bad? 1. Nails were cut jagged and asymmetrical 2. There was dust on nails for both the index and middle finger on my right hand and she picked another nail polish to paint over instead of removing it. 3. Nail polish is painted very streaky on every single nail. Having said that, I probably won't return for the pedicures since I usually get then done with a mani. I am definitely not coming back for a manicure. Though it's only $10, I can do a better job myself at home. A bad mani is really an eye sore... read more

Beautiful ! Loved the work and decently priced. Thank you Vincent . Did exactly what I asked and he's very attentive to detail.

Had an unskilled and overpriced pedicure here a few weeks ago. Part of the inflated price was per a posted notice about increased procedures due to COVID19. I couldn't see anything they were doing specifically for COViD 19 but was desperate for a pedicure so I went along with it. Maybe they were counting on people being desperate; very few salons were open. There were plenty of clients and the ventilation was, in fact, terrible. Perhaps the poor ventilation was because all the widows were boarded up. This was right after George Floyd was murdered for being Black and people rightfully erupted in protest. Taped to the boards were a few 8.5x11 pieces of paper with "Black Lives Matter" scrawled on them. From the appearance of the notes, I suspected this was just a disingenuous attempt to ward off possible vandalism. I passed by the shop today and all the windows were still boarded up but the "Black Lives Matter" notes were gone. I guess the protests have thinned out. read more
