Been looking for a new nail tech and found this salon after doing some online searching. I'm super particular about nail shape, and I saw some great work from Boy in the reviews. Parking was easy, the salon was easy to find, and the place was super cute and clean. He was very personable and did such a good job. I'm very happy with my nails! Definitely will be coming back. read more

Updated Review: Beware of faulty use of product/MMA! My nails remained on for over a month, in that time span TWO of them fully broke my nail beds. Upon coming in for removal (soak off), techs buffed my nails, and soaked repeatedly. It took soaking and buffing 3 times. I spoke up, noticing the stubbornness of the product further adding to my suspicion of MMA use. I said "I have never seem acrylic behave this way", pulled my hands away, and removed the last foil for a closer look. Despite being soaked and filed 3 times, the "acrylic" had a glue, gummy like texture. So sticky in-fact it stuck to my hands when i touched it to show the tech the clear indicator of them not using normal products. The owner (male tech) had an absolutely disgusting attitude. He said "I know you, you left me bad review. You hate me, you hate my buisness. You came back to make me mad". At this point, we get into a slight altercation as I (also a small buisness owner) was shocked at his unprofessionalism and adult tantrum he was throwing. His attitude worsened when I requested to see the bottle of monomer they used. Any ETHICAL, licensed salon would comply with no issue. Instead the owners aggression worsens, he even tells me I could get out of his salon and leave. The salon and all techs refused to show me what they use. That is a concerning reaction to me, a customer, asking to see products that will be used for a service i am paying for. I even came with a girlfriend as we have an upcoming trip. I was sincerely hoping to be wrong about their product use and have a good spa day with my friend. She also caught side strays of disrespect from the owner (yelling at her) despite it being her first time in. I was so embarrassed bringing my friend into this situation and having her sit through disrespect. Due to the owners hostility, I wanted to leave ASAP. I asked the tech to stop the soak off, and stop filing my nails as they were left BRITTLE and breaking. In despite of all of this, he still charged me $10. I paid, $10 is nothing, i guess he must really need it. The owner's attitude was concerning, he would yell at me then retract and act calm and collected. He was too focused on the fact that I had left him a previous review instead of rectifying the situation. (The way any ethical buisness owner would) After the altercation calmed and he finished with his client (yes, there were clients in store when he was denying my request of products etc) He kept trying to make casual conversation with me and educate me on "their technique" since " I am not professional" (I am NOT professional... Im studying law not nails or cosmetology..) It was such a bizarre interaction to have someone so emotionally unstable come at me that way. The technicians performing my friends service were visibly uncomfortable by their bosses behavior and denial of request. One technician looked visibly shocked and removed herself from the situation. If he feels comfortable speaking to customers the way he did, I can even imagine how he speaks to employees when issues arise. After the horrible experience, my friend and I went down the road to Glossy Nail Lounge (brand new! grand opening 6/26) and got pedicures/manicures with proper service and products Sorry Boy, you must treat ALL customers with respect, something I learned in my field of work, you never know when an inspector or board member can walk into your establishment. read more

I will add that they didn't have a place to rest my arms/wrists and he had me put my arms on a powder container which was veryyy uncomfortable! Hopefully they add one soon read more

2 stars because prices are fair and they're honestly nice people. But their work just isn't very... good. 1. They made me bleed during my pedicure. 2. I showed them a picture of pearlescent and they advised me to add chrome onto white base which costs extra, but the end result looked nothing like my inspo. 3. The service is just so rushed and the paint job is messy. Always painting on my skin. Needless to say, I won't be coming back. read more

I have given them two chances. The first time, I made a phone appointment , I had never been there before and it was raining out. I parked my car and I walked around the building in the pouring rain, in sandals ,because I didn't know where the salon was. There was a man smoking a cigarette outside. It turns out that the nail salon was where he was working, he did not say hello or anything or try to help me find the salon even though I had an appointment and he could see me walking around in the rain.. I was the only customer in the salon. He did an okay job on my nails-a full set, GELX , but he rough with me and rushed even though I was the only one in the salon . I also got a pedicure that was good. However, one hand of my GEL X nails was longer than the other and pointed it out to him before I left. He said, " when you come back I will fix it ": I tipped them both, $15 . I waited an entire month for my nails to grow out so that they could even them off next time I went i ln. Today, I went in again after a month, I made a phone appointment. I got a gel X fill, I asked him if I could get French manicure and he said no , I also explained to him that I grew out my nails because one side was longer and if I could keep the longer nails instead of cutting them short. I guess he didn't understand. . While I was getting a pedicure instead of doing my nails at the same time, even though I had made an appointment days before, he took someone that walked in instead of me, so when he finally got to my nails he was in a rush and did them in a hurry again and instead of keeping my request of keeping the length he cut them down short , he was also on his phone the whole time speaking in his language. . I tipped them $10 each, the male technician did not thank you or goodbye when I left I guess he was insulted with the low tip. Well, if you're not going to listen to me and you're going to Rush even though I made an appointment and treat me like crap I'm not going tip you more than $10, with his attitude he's lucky that he even got a tip. The male nail technician is mean, he doesn't listen, refuses requests, when there is a nail salon on every corner it is not worth it and he obviously doesn't care about retaining clientele. read more

Thanks guys! read more

Eco Nails Spa - Cat eye - Nail Salons Near Me - San Leandro, California

Overall, I'm satisfied with what I got. I got seated right away, which was amazing. I got a pedicure with gel ($45) and a manicure with builder gel and simple design ($70). I really liked the pedicure. It was relaxing and clean. My manicure was good too. I felt like my nail tech was rushed because he had another client waiting and it reflected in mine and my cousin's manicure. Mine wasn't as clean as I liked it to be but still I am happy with how it looks. My cousin felt more disappointed. The nail tech didn't take her requests into consideration because of the time constraint which was unfortunate. It felt like he was just trying to do it as fast as he could so he can help the next person. read more

I'd give this place a solid 3.5 stars, rounding up to four. There are some definite pros and a few areas that could use improvement. First off, they were very accommodating--I called ahead, and they told me to come in right away, which was great. When I arrived, they were ready to assist me immediately. The manicure and pedicure were done gently--no cuts or discomfort--and the leg and foot massage was especially good. Whoever handled that did a great job! However, the hand massage was very brief, less than 30 seconds per arm, so that was underwhelming. Pricing seemed reasonable compared to other places: $60 for the manicure (with a 15% birthday discount; normally $70) and $45 for the pedicure, which included a scrub, mask, and massage. I appreciated the extra touches on the pedicure. The atmosphere was more businesslike than friendly. There wasn't much conversation, which is fine if you're just looking for efficient service, but it's worth noting. On the plus side, there's parking available, which is always a bonus. Overall, it's worth a try for the convenience and reasonable prices. read more

I've been to this nail salon three times now and each time has been a great experience. On my most recent visit, I got a full set with Cat-eye polish and honestly, this is the most beautiful set of nails I've ever had! Eden is more than a nail tech, he's dedicated to the artistry of his craft! He took his time, ensured that all the nails were filed into the perfect almond shape and checked in with me throughout the appointment to ensure that I was happy with the shape, length and color of the nails. I will definitely be returning in the future. read more

I would still like to come back here since they do so great with my nails, but I recently got a pedicure by amy. She was out of lotion and used the lotion pump and wiped it on my legs which is extremely unsanitary, I probably won't get pedicures here but I will absolutely keep doing my nails here read more

This is one of my usual spots. It's not my first pick only because it's hard to get to with how busy E 14th St can get. Today I called my first pick and they were really busy and couldn't take me in. So I opted for Eco Nails Spa. I love Eco Nails Spa because 1) they don't rush you 2) it's tucked and hard to get to so it's not very busy in there when I go and 3) Amy was a sweetie pie today and they all usually all do a great job. I was immediately serviced upon entering and picked the Deluxe Pedicure. I usually always do a French tip but today I wanted to do a solid color and change it up. They had a good selection of OPI and DND nail swatches. And I was set on a really pretty pale pink that I know would make my new tan POP. I knew I needed a pedicure because my toenails were overgrown that it had chipped and snagged on some fabric the night before Anyway, Amy mentioned that one of my nails will be a little short because of it and I was totally okay with that, I just appreciated the communication despite the little language barrier. Halfway through she asked me how I was feeling which was really mindful because I was able to throughly relax the first half and then let her know how much I was enjoying myself because she was doing a great job taking her time with the massage part of the service. I feel like the only thing the place is lacking is some feng shui in design and vibrations. They need more healthy plants, maybe a little fountain, and better music options. If Eco Nails Spa is ever interested, I would love to extend a helping hand to help elevate the space with my natural knack at interior design. Anyway, Amy was fabulous and did a great job cleaning up just in time for spring and long days read more

Amy did an amazing job! She was so sweet. Would reccommend!! Great selection of colors and stickers.

I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately, my manicure didn't last. Within just a couple of days, my nails started chipping, which is really disappointing. I was expecting better quality and longer-lasting results. I will never be coming back. The lady also was ungrateful and didn't thank me after I paid her tips. Response to owner: If the nails are done well; it shouldn't chip at all. The shape and size and length of the nails were uneven. She also made me bleed... I NEVER heard her say thank you. I tipped 15% and she was quiet as I walked out of the door which ticked me off. The quality was very poor. Please don't make excuses. My thumb nail was the nail that chipped early. I can provide the picture as evidence. I never do extensive labor so I am very careful. It chipped because she didn't spend enough time on the LED cure. I placed my hand for 5 seconds and she already told me take it out. I have done my nails a lot at other places and know what top quality truly is. read more

Great spot! Needed an emergency pedicure and Amy did a wonderful job. It was very relaxing experience and I would definitely come back.

I just came from Eco and wanted to leave a review about my amazing service. I actually had a nail appointment for Tiffany's Nail Lounge however I accidentally scheduled it for July 24th instead of July 17th. So I begun searching for a new nail salon that was nearby an Eco Nails popped up I called and one of the guys answered the phone and told me I could come in for a full set. The service was absolutely amazing, I got my old acrylic set taken off, received a new acrylic set and I got a gel pedicure. I did not have an appointment however I was able to be seen the same day. The guy who did my nails name was Boy. He asked me if I had a picture of the nails that I wanted, I showed him and I explained additional details. He said I will have your nails looking nice. And he told no lies. I absolutely love my nails it's exactly what I asked for I wanted my nails to have a flat top, narrow yet sqaure (no duck nails) and to be short with a French tip. And he did everything to the T.He works very fast and intentional. The guy who did my feet I completely forgot to get his name but he did everything except for the French tip. He took really good care of my feet he gave me a great massage he was very detailed in cleaning my toes, he even brought out the old school toebrush, which is a service I no longer see nail salons use anymore. So I was very happy when I saw that shop still uses the toebrush. I attached a video for you all to see what that is. I will definitely come back to this nail shop again and I highly recommend 10 out of 10. read more

I had a bit of challenge with communication. English is not the best with the techs I used but it was good enough. They were kind and they knew what they were doing. My hands and feet are very happy. I also ended up getting my eye brows waxed. It was definitely a relaxing and pleasant experience. I would come back again. read more

First time here: In the area and needed an acrylic fill. Ambience is nice, clean, relaxing with chill music. Techs are not loud and didn't gossip. - 5/5 Guy nail tech did an acrylic fill + cateye. Did a great job with file, shape, color. Nails look thin and natural, not bulky. Ended up getting a pedicure too. Woman did my toes - 3.5/5 Did a good job with cut, trim, buffer, scrub, hot towel + lotion. She carelessly turn to very hot water to wash my legs. Can work on being welcoming (when customers enter the shop) and friendly, **communicate** if customer made appt, walk in, etc. or what needs to be done. ** After paying, I went to grab cash, handed $20 bill to tip both techs. Woman tech took the cash, did not say thank you or anything at all (big red flag for me). Quality of work is well done! But the techs lack a bit of customer service which can easily turn to a 5 star experience. Should work on being more gentle, **Communicate** Overall, I would definitely come back because I am happy and not disappointed with what I've paid for. Thank you :D read more

They did a good job for my pedicure and the price was decent ($35 for regular $45 for gel) but we had a reservation at 2:15pm on a Friday and didn't get seated at a nail chair until 3pm and and didn't finish until 4:30pm. We were almost there for 2 hours because they didn't have enough staff even though we had a reservation. I would not go if you are on a crunch time or make sure you let them know you need it done on time when you make reservation. read more

Very happy with my experience. I had not had a pedicure for a long time. I was mostly taking do it myself due the poor quality I was receiving at most places. I just gave up. It's the holidays and I needed to have a professional work on my feet. I did my due diligence and found Eco Nails. It's very clean organized and they have many different types of services. I did the fresh pedicure. My feet feel great. I will be back for sure and I am thrilled I found this place. read more

I come here for all my nail services. They are lovely. They do great work and it's always fast. Truong is my go to girl.

I absolutely love my nails. This will now be my go to nail salon. Not only were they fast and efficient but also kind and detail oriented. They consistently asked every step if this is what i wanted and were happy to showcase what they have available. They have a HUGE selection of dips and assorted colors. They have a whole wall dedicated to it. Il They're equipped to make their customers happy and comfortable. With massage chairs at the neck and shoulders and if you chose the massages for arms and legs with certain mani pedi, it is really delightful. They even have a cute kids chair to make them feel welcome too! The quality of their lotions are also really easy on the hands and feet. They also have great ventilation. Although appointments are recommended, if you go during the day just when they open or weekdays, you can ask for a walk in and they can accommodate without a long wait time. I can't wait to get my nails done here again soon. read more

First of all, what's better than feeling like royalty after a crappy day at work? I've been looking for a new nail spot, especially closer to home because alameda just aynt doing it for me no more. This place is 10 minutes away from me during traffic hours, already a plus for me. Just imagine if i went first thing when they open because that's what i prefer. I came around 5pm, luckily for me, no one was there so i got serviced for a pedi and full set. I originally came in only for pedi but she asked, and immediately i was getting both services. Lucky for me that it was quiet, but unfortunate for them. They also are in a plaza so no need to worry about parking. Plenty of parking if you go at the right time. I got a full set, almond shaped acrylic cat eye, $75. Package 1 for pedi with gel, $60. Tipped $17 for both services. It is pricey, but i think i paid for what i got this time around, and it's been a long time since i can say that. I've said it before and ima say it again: some of these men nail techs are better than the women! And none of that gossip bs. Cause just bc i don't know what you saying, don't mean i wanna hear it. Will definitely be returning. Also, make sure you check in at the front with you ph#. You'll get discounts after accruing a certain amount of times, and on your actual bday. This is way better than the stamp cards for so many reasons. read more

I'm OBSESSED! I usually do my own gelx at home but decided to treat myself for an upcoming vacay. Boy is super detailed with his work. I brought in an inspo pic, and he was super patient when helping me choose the right colors and designs/placement. I'm super iffy about germs but this place was super clean and had good air circulation. They use clean or disposable tools so I felt really safe here! Give them a chance yall! They just opened recently and deserve all the love. I made an appointment through Yelp a week out, but called in day of to see if they could squeeze me in earlier and they were able to accommodate! Sooo sweet of them! All the stars! read more

I found this place thru yelp. First place to reach out to me when I was looking for a salon. When I walked in the place as empty but I did not care. I was quickly sat down. I was showed color and picked one. Very quickly the tech shot the color down saying that it was too light. I said pls try anyways. I asked for regular polish she insisted on gel polish as "it's better" she kept saying " I do for you. I do for you." I sighed and said ok. She tried the color and the color was great! She gave me a price of $105. I didn't think much of it. But I said ok. Then came time for the hands. The guy did not pull my cuticles back or take them off until after everything was already done. He did not measure my the tips, he just started gluing them on. When he asked what color I said same as my feet and he said no because it's too light. It was not. He said French tip is usually white. I said ok fine. I asked for almond and the shape was so chunky when I asked for almond. It was round. And wide. He kept going I was already annoyed. Mid set the lady hands me a paper that says the price of hands and feet. It amounted to $110. Look I'm not about to argue about $5, but where tf did this mystery $5 come from?! Again I was annoyed and wanted to leave so I payed. I left a $10 tip and left. The nails started lifting 2 days later. I was pissed. I payed $120 for my nails to lift 2 days later?! Oh hell na! Needless to say I won't be going back or recommending the place to my friends as he requested. Sorry for the long rant. I never ever leave a review but I will be dammed I waste my money like this again. read more

I came here for the first time today. Boy hooked up my nails. He had to do major work to take off the previous Ombre color that I had on my natural nails. I had to start my natural nail journey over from scratch. He did an excellent job and was very patient with me as it was painful to get the old Ombre powder off of my nails. I ended up getting the nail color that is used for French tips without the white tips. It looks very natural. This place is great and there is a parking lot for customers. The 10 bus stops right out front. I ended up getting a fresh pedicure. It was very relaxing and the lady that did my pedicure did an excellent job. They have massaging spa chairs that are great while getting a pedicure. I will start coming here going forward. I highly recommend this nail shop. It's also eco friendly. read more

Eco Nails Spa - Gel Deluxe Manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - San Leandro, California

My husband and I went here for pedicures and I decided to add in a manicure. Unbeknownst to me I was given a gel manicure. I did NOT request that! When I tried to remove the polish from my mails it wouldn't come off so I returned to the salon to get it removed. I since read the proper way to remove the polish is to soak the nails for a full 15 minutes by applying acetone wrapped cotton balls and cover in foil. Instead the female who removed them merely FILED off all the polish and in doing so also removed a significant part of my nails. I had this done yesterday and all my nails are cracking and breaking off. I am shocked and disappointed at her LAZINESS! The salon was empty when I went in- she and another coworker were sitting and chatting! She took 5 minutes to remove the polish instead of taking the time to do a proper job. This was my 3rd time in the salon- I even took my granddaughter. This past time I took my husband and I had my daughter granddaughter and son-in-law go there as well. Very upset with this poor treatment!! read more

I've been to different nail salons and of course none are perfect. I also only go when there's a special occasion. I wasn't expecting extravagant; but after reading the reviews I thought they sounded nice since it's close to my house Walking in you can see ants in the floor The minute I walk in, the girl seated by the chair was unfriendly. She handed me the swatches but didn't explain if it's regular or gel since I was doing both. She did not like talking as I tried to make small talk. She also cut my nails square without asking me.... I never do square.... ALSO the water that she used to soak my hand, she threw the remaining into the water I was soaking my feet in.... After it was used... a piece of the feet tub broke off and sprayed my face.... I didn't say anything but there was also no apology. After she rushed and was done she went back to her chair to watch dramas on her phone The only reason they deserve 1 star is the sweet older lady who worked on my feet. She took her time with everything, made my feet feel relaxed. She put the color on and asked if I like it. The other girl didn't. She is the reason I am giving the 1 starts because she really was kind and took her time I stayed quiet during this whole experience because I couldn't believe this was happening 1 star for one person who was kind and patient No stars: Service, cleanliness, vibe, and quality read more
