    Dip Manicure with tips
    Emily P.

    I've been coming to this nail salon for years, and it's consistently been an amazing experience every time. The staff is incredibly talented and friendly--everyone who works here is wonderful. Their dip manicures are the best I've ever had--flawlessly done and long-lasting every single time. If you're looking for a nail salon that's reliable, professional, and truly cares about their work, this is the place. Highly recommend!

    Excuse the awkward photo. Idk how people take cute hand photos , but at least my nails look awesome!

    I adore dipping nails. They're the only place I've found in the Bay Area that does proper dip nails (without UV light), and they do a fantastic job. Pedicures are also amazing and really reasonable. I always enjoy going here and am so pleased they are open again! I would recommend making an appointment by phone. They all wear masks and have installed plexiglass separators, etc., so I felt very safe when there last week.

    I used to come here for about a year before they closed for Covid. I managed to squeeze in an appt right before March shutdown, and I coincidentally got engaged the next day Went again today right before quarantine round 2, and they're as impeccable as ever. I always get the SNS dip powder manicure for healthier nails, and they are so patient in perfecting the shape of your nails to your liking. So worth it and highly recommend.

    my nails after getting them done with SNS on them by Genny & my hands were clean
    Tiffany F.

    On February 28 I scheduled an appointment that I thought was with Genny. When I arrived I was serviced by two other women. When I was done and paid for my service including a tip I wasn't offered anything to put on my hands nor did I receive assistance with removing the tissue in between my toes from my pedicure. I was very disappointed because I had never received such lack of service from this shop as many times as I've been there and most shops that I've gone to in the past provide some form of lotion or oil and they take the tissue from in between your toes. I thought about writing a review then but I figured I'd give them one more chance before I do. I tried calling today to schedule an appointment with Genny since I've always received good service from her. I spoke to someone named Ivy who hold me that Genny was out on maternity leave and she won't be back until April. I then asked her if she could tell me the woman's name who did my nails on February 28. She asked me if I knew the ladies name after I asked her if she could locate it in their schedule since the lady never introduced herself to me. Ivy told me again that I needed to come back next month despite me trying to schedule my appointment with someone next week for dip on my nails. I then asked if I could speak to someone else due to her lack of understanding of my ask. All of a sudden I hear a customer on the phone saying, "your English is perfectly fine". And then she hung up in my face. I don't know if it was the customer or the employee Ivy but what I can say is that the customer is lucky that I wasn't around and Ivy should work somewhere that customer service isn't required because she is misrepresenting the business. Lastly they charge a certain percentage for using a card and it's not posted.

    full set! (dip powder)

    LADIES, LET ME PUT YOU ON! stop getting acrylic, full set w dip powder is SO much better, healthier, looks natural & my faaaav! this shop is awesome, ladies are so sweet and know what they're doing. nails don't look chunky/ fat, no lopsided or messed up polish on the nails. Im super picky & never leave reviews hehe so you know its real! COVID-19 safe as well, plexi glass set up & masks required! i'll keep coming back here and i drive all the way from Vallejo!! so worth it 10/10 no complaints. ($65 for a full set, done in an hour) this is average for dip powder & well worth the money.

    A long over due review for Ivy and and Jenny the two SNS (dip nail) nail techs that have always taken great care of me and my nails! Overall, the shop is clean, spacious and is never jam packed, but always has a steady stream of customers (make sure to call and make an appt in advance!) Both Ivy and Jenny are wonderful and never back down from any random style request that I have. Bottom line: the salon delivers top notch nail care, is reasonably priced, hygienic and provide pleasant customer service.

    They completely hacked my nails. I asked for a dip manicure and they did not pay attention to my cuticles at all. Super fast and rushed and unpleasant. I picked out a light pink that almost looked white and completely did not get what I asked for. It was very painful and all of my cuticles started bleeding and the lady continued to chop them up basically. Would not recommend so many better salons around. And extremely expensive. Not worth it.

    So happy I found this place. Living in El Sobrante there are many shops to choose from between Pinole and Richmond however, none of the shops offer SNS. This shop is very clean, the staff is extremely friendly & the dipping powder beats gel any day. It's a little more costly than gel but last 3 weeks. I'll definitely be back. The color pictured is #80, I wanted something light. However, they have every color you can think of. Whelp I went back for the second time. I'm pretty sure this will be my go to shop going forward. I asked for nude ombré and that's exactly what I got.

    Love my nails!!
    Val B.

    I love getting my nails done at dipping nails!! I've been going to this salon for almost 3 years and I don't let anyone else do my nails! I wanted nails that fit the season and added a little color to my life... and like always they came through! All the ladies do a great job and the salon is always clean! I have referred friends and they love it here as well!

I also booked with Telma because my normal wax lady did not have the availability I wanted and I refuse to go to EWC!! My first interaction of texting with Telma was bit of a red flag. She did ask for me to come earlier, but I guess since I didn't reply fast enough, that she had booked another client w/in 15 minutes of waiting for my response. When I got there for my appointment she was not there and I had to wait for her to come into the building. Once she got inside she had to prep then I got on the table and the waxing started. I was already kind of taken back by the fact that she was using the kind of wax that requires the paper strips. I am a regular wax / sugaring client so I know the pain the comes with it, but this pain was so much more intense. Once the waxing was finished and I had gotten into my car, I instantly was uncomfortable. When I used the restroom it burned just to wipe, I had my husband look down there and there was multiple pink / red spots from my skin being ripped. I am having to constantly put neosporin on those areas and be super gentle with it. I recommend doing your research before coming and maybe don't book a Brazilian here.

Getting a haircut seemed like a fun a productive way to spend my free time. I know nothing about the area, but I stumbled upon Sole's yelp page and it said that they were offering $20 off to book with Chelsea. I called and without asking, was told the Chelsea was one of the two stylists available during the date and time I requested. Perfect! Guy, who answered the phone was friendly and accommodating and asked a lot of questions about what I wanted to ensure I would have a good experience. It made me feel like they were very professional, and he really talked Chelsea up, saying she was super experienced, but just new to this particular salon, hence the yelp promo. He also gave clear parking instructions on the phone, which I appreciated. The atmosphere was really clean and welcoming, they immediately offered me water or tea. Chelsea was great. I wasn't particular about what exactly I wanted, but she listened and made suggestions and I totally trust her judgement. She was really calculated and took her time with me. I am sure I was her last appointment of the day, but I didn't feel rushed at all. She genuinely wanted to do a great job and I looked and felt great at the end of it. Like I said, I don't live in the area and I only get my hair cut once every two years, but I would still highly recommend this place and Chelsea. So if you do live in the area and need a haircut, give her a try.
