We had a wonderful experience at Finger Paint! The staff was incredibly friendly, and we were seen very quickly. Our nails and toes turned out beautiful, and we couldn't be happier with the results. My daughter wanted to add: "I thought the place was so nice, the people there were amazing, and you get to sit in a massage chair!" We both had a great time and will definitely be back. Highly recommend! read more

This was one of the worst manicure experiences I've ever had! I came in with gel that I had done at another salon. The nail technician immediately made fun of my cuticles. The man that works, there went so far as to show me a TikTok of someone with terrible cuticles. Once they were done mocking me, they proceeded with the gel manicure. It was $10 more than the place. I normally go and chipped in two days. Two days! I kid you not. Never again. I'll drive out of my neighborhood for a better cheaper mani/pedi. read more

I love coming here! Linda has been so detailed and thorough taking time to do my nails with care. I'm from the North bay, but it's worth the wait to come when I'm in Oakland. My nails have been ruined many times when others use only an electric buffer to get the gel off. Cảm ơn Linda... read more

Finger Paint - Fresh nail full set and pedicure from Finger Paint in Oakland, CA. - Nail Salons Near Me - Oakland, California

I came to this place because a friend recommended and it was amazing. I got a pedicure with Nancy and she cleaned my toes up!! I mean she went on the side and clipped off all the dead skin. It was refreshing to finally have someone who is not afraid to dig and clean up cuticle. The place is straight forward, chairs lined up for work. I loved it and I will be coming back here for pedicure! read more

My favorite local nail place. They do a great job, have a great variety of colors, and the same people have worked there for years. I especially love it on slower days when they all get together towards the back of the space to chat and to share snacks and have a rest. read more

Was struggling to find a good manicure spot and my neighbor recommended this one and they were very good. I like short nails and they deliver exactly what I want (a lot of times I have to keep asking at the other salons) and did a fantastic job overall. read more

Oh, how I LOVE Finger Paint! I've been a happy client of this nail salon for over 10 years. I've never been disappointed. Last week, I made a horrible error. Finger Paint was super busy and I desperately needed to get my nails done. I went to some random shop. BAD IDEA. Long story, short, I've been horrified for over a week, looking down at the travesty that shop left of my nails. Came in today, and Ms. Kim got me all the way together. She took her time and shaped to perfection. I was so happy with how gentle she was with my nails and her tools. So refreshing. My nails are gorgeous! Thank you, Finger Paint. I'll never go anywhere else. (Pics to come) read more

OMG, one of the best manicures I've ever had! 10 days ago, I dropped in on an impulse for a regular manicure. It was lovely. In the interim, I've done housework, unpacked moving boxes and *assembled furniture.* It's just now beginning to look a bit worn around the edges. A regular manicure! I can't explain it, other than they're just really good at what they do. 5 stars and all the love!! read more

I like this nail shop, but they don't live up to their name when it comes to nail polish colors. SMH ‍

Best nail salon in Oakland! Each and every technician is friendly and highly skilled. Service is 5+ stars.

I've gone to many different nail salons to do my nails but this remains my favorite. I no longer live in Oakland but will drive out here just to get my nails done. It has been years since I came out and they still remember my name and preferences. The prices are also very reasonable. read more

Wonderful service. Very reasonable pricing. Overall very happy and will definitely be back!

I had an appointment with Dickie. When I got there it was just the two of us. The business was set up for social distancing and was very sanitary Vicky did a great job on my nails and I will definitely go back read more

The owner and her employees talked about my friend and I the entire time during our mani/pedi. Didn't realize my friend was Vietnamese and understood their insults about us. Was a loyal customer for years, but not anymore. They talked about our appearance and even said the $10 tip wasn't enough. Wow. Really horrible experience. Not going back, ever. Parking is horrible and the gel creases after a week. Yikes. read more

Great experience here! Came in right at opening and they were already busy. They squeezed me in for a gel manicure- very efficient, friendly staff. Many of them took the time to say hi and ask how I was doing. Linda did an awesome job! Super pleased with my manicure. Relaxing, pain-free, and well done. Plus, $25 for a gel, prices are great! Customer for life. read more

I've been coming to Finger Paint since they opened so many, many years. Even though I just get a basic mani/pedi I'm super picky and have never been disappointed by Finger Paint and all the great nail techs. They are pros and my nails always look fabulous. I can never go as often as I like but whenever I do get to go I always tell Vicky and the crew that Finger Paint is truly one of my most favorite places to be. For the time that I'm there it really feels like a mini relaxing escape. I've been to one or two other places over the past years when I was out of town and it's so irritating when you spend the time and money to get your nails done and it looks like they were done by a 5 year old. I have NEVER gotten anything less than amazing at Finger Paint! And the ladies are just lovely. My last time in, I totally picked the wrong color (I know now that I am 100% NOT a hot pink nail polish person) and I sheepishly went back an hour later for a polish change. I felt like such a dope, but Vicky just laughed and said, No problem! Love this place, everyone who works there and their amazing skills. You won't want to go anywhere else once you've gone to Finger Paint : ) read more

I love this salon! I'm a fan from Femimacus and if I ever come in the afternoon when Femimacus is busy, I always hit Finger Paint up. The only complaint I have are the facial expressions that both the owners, Loi and Vicky have. They are never smiling! They always look like they are stressed, they make ME feel stressed GAH!! But it's ok, not everyone can be happy 100%, I just think, they should reflect positive attitudes towards their customers. But I like how they try to form conversations to make up it. Overall My Review: 4/5 Cleanliness, sometimes there are flies in the waiting portion. But they are currently repairing the salon when I walked in late on Monday last week. 5/5 Nails I am never disappointed with the outcome 4/5 Customer Service 1/10 times I feel uncomfortable sitting there while they do my nails because sometimes they are obviously frowning 5/5 Products Up to date products, nice beautiful chairs, and top nail polishes read more

This is my go to nail salon! I use to go to their sister location: Femimacus. But, it was always so crowded and busy when I went. Plus, the ventilation in Femimacus didn't seem so good for my health.. Fingerpaint is so modern and fresh feeling! I don't feel overwhelmed by smells of nail polish, acrylic, acetone, etc when I walk in! So, I decided to give this place a try! And I am so glad that I did. The workers here are so nice, and welcoming. I've had several workers who have worked on my gel manicures before, and they always come out so beautiful! They have an amazing selection of colors to choose from for gel manicures such as: OPI GEL, PERFECT MATCH, GELISH, etc. Parking: There's street parking around, you might have to drive around a couple of times depending on the time of the day. But, the workers even offers to help you feed your meter when it's about to expire! - clean - friendly - wide selection of colors and brands - its all about YOU! Thank you to Fingerpaint for keeping my gel nails looking beautiful! read more

Love love LOVE this place. I've been going here for a really long time now & I love their work & how they treat their customers. Sometimes it tends to get really busy, so at times you may have to wait if you didn't schedule an appointment & you walked in. They use plastic bags in the bowl to protect from any germs and they dispose it right after their done with their client. I have not had a bad experience with them as long as I've been with them. Check them out if you're looking to have a nice pedi and mani. read more

This is my best-kept Oakland secret. I've been here dozens of times over the years and experienced every single manicurist. I have never had a SINGLE mani/pedi that wasn't absolutely beautiful. I never feel worried about whether my nails will be taken care of here - I just float away into relaxation, let them do their work and walk out feeling pretty. So you don't need to stress when you come here. Also I visited recently and their COVID protocols are very thorough with masks, ventilation and partitions. They carry the full OPI line too. They are hygienic and gentle with the tools. The women who work here are incredible, detailed and just so kind. Tip them generously as they are are working moms! read more

I have been coming to Finger Paint from Pittsburg for many years. They have great customer service, prices and options. They carry my favorite brand of polish OPI. I've brought my family members here as well as relatives from out of town. I work in SF so don't mind coming all the way here for a great experience. I can also get my eyebrows done. Always walk away feeling beautiful! read more

3 of my nails has came off in just a week.I got a full set that were gel & payed $50 which is extremely expensive for some nails that I was dissatisfied for. It was a young lady that was working on my nails that is usually a person that works on feet.The man Loi has to keep telling her what to use to do my nails.I wanted skinny square nails and she kept doing coffin but I just let her continued.My pinky nail was super smaller than my other nails and my left hand middle finger (which is the one with no nail on it ) had been shorter than my right hand middle finger. The young lady could tell I fed up with her doing my nails by my facial expressions so an older lady had came and started to do my nails for 3 minutes.After that Loi had came over and fixed them.My nails had lumps after they had put the white nail polish on it. I DO NOT RECOMMEND GOING HERE.You will spend your money on the LOCATION instead of the work they are doing for your nails.Such a waste of money & theydont give you a discount if you don't like them.Super bad service. read more

Very dissatisfied! I called and made an appointment they only have two technicians that do acrylic nails... I asked them for the appointment and also asked them if they had a specific type of tip. They said they did. I came in through terrible Oakland traffic to get there on time. When I got there they said the technician had left and I had called prior to just make sure she would be there! They were extremely rude!!! Especially Loi!! I would not recommend this nail spot... I have also had previous experiences with this nail shop... Completely horrible experience! Loi is extremely rude for no reason at all... He needs some training on customer service for sure! I would not even rate them one star! This is super unfortunate I am a neighbor been in the area right down on Park Avenue for over 20 years. I was extremely shocked at how awful they treated me! And then someone else to come through the door and they would be completely different to them... I always come on time... I am not a complainer! I always tip! There's absolutely no reason these people who run finger paint should act this way! Worst nail shop experience I've had!!!!!!! read more

It's my favorite nail salon! Everyone is so friendly, attentive, and accommodating. I appreciate that they know me by name even though I do not go very often or regularly. I get a basic mani/pedi each time. The nail color lasts and I feel cared for. Top notch! I highly recommend! read more

I went here to get a pedicure and get my eyebrows done. I asked the aesthetician to tweeze my brows vs. use wax as wax causes my skin to welt up. She said she couldn't do it. I'm sorry. If you won't accommodate BASIC requests, I can't patronize your establishment. I decided to give another shop my money. I vote with my money, so sorry finger paint. Cute name but customer service FAIL. read more
