Honestly I am scared to review this place! This place is better then I expected it to be!!! I was in the area and thought another nail salons so I went in just for a pedi with my mom. We had to wait since their were busy. But it was worth the wait my pedi took a hour which is shocking to me because my nails would take 35 mins max!! I hope they stay!! read more

Forum Nails - I seriously recommend them!!! I had my nails for 6 week and none of them popped off, or looked old. - Nail Salons Near Me - Antioch, California

Ummm this place sucks! This is after less than 24 hours of getting this done. Any other time I've gotten gel polish at other nail salons it lasts minimum 2 weeks before it chips. This isn't just a chip either, it's peeling off in large pieces. They also didn't get all the cuticles on my nails or toes and same with my girlfriend's nails they did. Please save yourself some money and go get your nails done somewhere else. They also gave me a cut on my pinky nail when they were cutting my nails so hopefully it doesn't get infected because otherwise this will be a huge problem! read more

HORRIBLE. I came with a friend to get my nails done. They charge way too much for a horrible job. Sophia did my nails and I was ecstatic to have her do it since I read reviews upon reviews of her work. Unfortunately she didn't live up to it. It's been a week since I have seen them and my nails are lifting from my nail bed. All my acrylic still had gel perfect on it... but from the lift... my nail turned green :'( read more

I wish I could give less stars! I showed up 10 minutes early for my 12 noon appointment, only to find out they booked 4 other people for the same time, with 2 chairs operating outside because of covid. I'm a huge stickler for customer service and this place is horrible. I'm still waiting for a pedicure( my appointment time was 20 minutes ago) The attendant hands me a menu while I'm waiting. I choose the delux pedicure which is listed for $35. The attendant comes back and says it's $50 because they can only use gel polish outside because of the wind ( THE LIES) . I reply that there's nothing written on the menu about that and that I dont want gel polish on my feet. He then tells me I have to wait and go inside. I'm already upset because it's 12:30 and I got here at 11:50, I'm inside and still waiting, I asked to choose a color and am told that now all services are gel polish ( odd because the lady next to me isn't getting gel) unfortunately I feel this is racially motivated because none of the non POC clients were told that they had to get gel polish, it was just an option. I really wanted to get my nails done too but after this price gouged pedicure and racial inequality I WILL NEVER BE BACK. THIS PLACE IS TERRIBLE! THEY LIE TO CUSTOMERS OF COLOR ( black) read more

AVOID THIS PLACE. Dude this place is terrible. They tried to take my acrylics off without soaking, but I wasn't about to let them peel that off and damage my nails! Anyone who went to nail school should know the proper way of removing acrylics! And she wanted to charge me $10 just to do it the incorrect way! The owner kept insisting on peeling it off, but when I said I wanted it soaked, she called me a baby. She continued talking smack about me in Vietnamese, thinking that I didn't understand her, but I did. I didn't smile, and when I spoke to her in Vietnamese, she realized later and stopped. Then she had her male employee work on me instead. Later, I can hear her and her employee talking trash about their clients. Something about a lady with a scarf. The owner said in Vietnamese, "I bet there's something wrong with her face, which is why she is covering it." Be careful guys. These ladies aren't nice. read more

I come here for CK, tell him exactly what you want and he'll make it happen. He never fails me! I'm weird about thick nails so I'm pretty picky with my nail techs! read more

Forum Nails - Snape is something serious! Thank you CK - Nail Salons Near Me - Antioch, California

I went to this salon in a rush. I noticed when I passed by they were not too busy, I went in asked or a gel manicure and pedicure. I felt the lady who did my pedicure was forgetful and didn't do everything the deluxe pedicure mentioned. She cut way too much on the sides of my toe, it actually hurt. Okay, time to get my nails done, I felt it was rushed also and the killer is the cost was $70.00 and the gel polish chipped off 2 days later. Please just save your money and find a shop where at least the polish is decent and you can feel relaxed. read more

It was my first time going to Forum Nails. Their customer service is truly humble and pleasant. I enjoyed my pedicure and manicure, they did a excellent job. I look forward to returning back. read more

Well, I have been to this nail salon 3 times. Once I had Peter and he was great as he was friendly, u understanding and gentle. So I told myself I could go back again as my nails and pedicure looked great! The second time was not a good experience and Peter was out on lunch. The staff was rude, impatient and dis not do a good job on my nails. Peter came in later and fixed some errors that the other staff made. The third and final time was a horrible experience. I'm not sure of it was because they were busy but they rushed me around and did a half ass job on my 10 year old daughter's nails and toes and charged me a ton! I will not be going back. They need to learn some tips from Peter and be kinder to their customers. read more

So sad I have to leave a bad review. Sophie is great. But while she was gone I got a full set and a pedi... full set with gel on the sign is 35$ I was charged an extra 5$ because I wanted a coffin shape which I have NEVER been charged. I feel badly for Sophie because she runs such a great shop that I have been coming too since they opened the fact that who ever is running her shop while she is gone is changing the prices... also the man who did my nails did a horrible job... the gel was on my skin and the shape is not done well. Also I was burned by the tool because he was in such a rush. I'm very disappointed but I will be looking for another shop. It's the principle of changing prices and sub par work just because Sophie isn't here. read more

Forum Nails - Bubbles in my gel polish and gel on my skin... only when Sophie isn't there. So disappointed - Nail Salons Near Me - Antioch, California

Okay Service but look at the quality of this work! The toe polish was 5 minutes after I left and after 40 minutes later after getting my manicure. Not to mention the air bubbles in the manicure. And not to mention they charged m an extra 5 dollars to take off the gel polish i had on my toes which was wasn't there because i took it off before i got there but the man HAD to use the little buffer machine read more

The best thing about this salon is the cleanliness. They put a plastic liner in the basin that you soak your feet in, and there was a woman constantly cleaning. The gentleman that provided my pedicure was quite thorough and my toes looked great. There are lots of TVs, so pretty much anywhere that you sit you can view a screen. I will say I noticed a communication issue within the salon, not just myself but with other patrons as well. Not so much a language barrier, but I noticed the people working were not taking the time to listen to their customers. I tried to explain that I brought pedi sandals that had separators between the toes, and that they had to be put on before he started polishing otherwise the polish would get messed up when I put the sandals on. I tried to communicate this several times, but he disregarded what was being said, and replied he was a "professional". Well, needless to say when he retrieved my sandals to put them on my feet he exclaimed "uh oh". I overheard another conversation that further convinced me they don't put on their listening ears. Also, often times when someone is working at a quick pace, it can translate as rude, or dismissive & I don't think that is their intention. They do good work, it may just take some added patience. read more

Still loving the place but FYI... the ratchets have found this place. Ugghhh is it too much to ask that you watch your children and stop nit picking at they way they're doing your nails bc they didn't do it like that at your old shop I swear read more

Rose is my favorite for pedicures, she's always friendly and doesn't trying to talk my head off. When I go for a pedicure, I like to use the massage chair and relax. She works wonders! Ask for Rose for pedicures. read more

I was so grateful that they're back open. Great service and professional. Thank you Sophia and family.

I've been going here for over a year started going when Covid first hit overall I stayed going because it's literally five minutes away from my home but now I'm officially over it they always rush when I'm getting my pedicure my feet are barely in the water I never get a chance to just soak my feet and then they start working they immediately start working. What made me write this review the last time I went my nails were uneven weren't shaped correctly and again I felt very rushed so they can get to the next customer. When I called back to discuss what was wrong with my nail set Sophia called me back and told me to bring cash when I returned the next day I was confused on why I needed to bring cash because I just was there the day before and the nail tech van didn't do her job correctly. This to me shows that they are very money hungry and not to concerned about customer care. After this experience I will not be returning to this nail shop because their prices are too high for the service that they give out. read more

Clean, relatively friendly, can usually fit me in for an appointment. Sophia did my nails today and she is the bomb, she shaped them perfectly and the polish is flawless. I will definitely keep coming here. read more

The worst salon. After they did my nails using 'Expired' old polish, they said they don't take cash. The advertised cost was $15.00. They charged my Debit card $15.75. During the session, the man was Arguing loudly with a woman who worked there. Filed so hard that my finger hurt. I said to 'slow down' Do not go here unless you want to suffer read more

Such a great place! Always friendly!! Tom is fabulous with pedicures!!! Come see him and he'll make your feet beautiful

I'm only giving three stars because the place was very clean and the service seemed quality but for prices it seems like the place was a rip off as I saw on other post they didn't the prices change throughout the service and I wouldn't that myself it seemed expensive for a set of nails with clear polish what two fingers mean airbrushed $60 the price kept changing throughout the whole process I could never go back here again and was told at the end that the nails can be shortened cuz they were already dying when I know this is a lie cuz I went to another salon and they shorten them for me try to take a youthfront new experience and it was ruined read more

I been going here for awhile and I have not had a bad service. i Get great service.. I show them what I want and Sopi, Jen, and Vin gives exactly what I want as for designs. Best pedicures from anyone who serves me. They take walk ins, there's never a wait. I make appts. And they make sure i never wait. The best part is when I get a pedi and fill at the same time and I'm done with IG the hour!!! read more

I was at Forum and I witnessed RACISM. There were 2 girls getting the same service. The Black girl was there 1st and was waiting and then the White girl walked in they helped her told her what her choices were and started her service 1st and spoke to her very nicely. The Black girl was patient and asked nicely about when her service would start. They never explained anything, she had to ask them to turn on the bubbles in the water, she had to ask for the services page and they treated her like they didn't want her there. I could see she was holding in her emotions. I felt very sorry for her. I will NEVER go back. It was AWFUL. read more

Gorgeous Salon, very modern, clean, relaxing and tranquil ambiance!!! Great Pedicure's selection and highly reasonable prices for the services!! Customer service is really friendly and nice. Everyone's quality of work is exceptional. This establishment is a family owned salon/business. read more

So the very next day my paint chipped on my nails. Yes I was extremely upset. I called before I went in. I told her to take all the Polish off and give me back all my money. She took off my polish. She also was so heavy with taking it off (I'm guessing because she was mad I wanted my money back for the poor service I received)she dug the tool into my nails so I could not even get them fixed. Have to wait until they grow out so I can get them removed. Again dont waste your money here. Very poor service. read more

I used to come here often but as of lately the quality of work has been horrible. I went in to get a fill less than 2 weeks ago. One of my nails has completely come off.. 2 other nails have lifted and all of them are chipped ( I paid for gel polish). I like them for pedicures but def won't be returning or recommending anyone come here for a fill or full set. read more

Needed a salon with more flexible hours than where I was going....chose Forum off of Yelp. SO HAPPY when I arrived to see Sophia - she was my favorite tech at a prior salon! I am happy happy happy to see her here! My nails look great today and I have found my place. Plenty of colors that have matching gel&polish if you like that. Clean, new, relaxed. I always asked for her at the 'big box nail salon' which I left about a year ago, I got tired of the long wait even with appts and felt the 'big box' was not clean. I left there and have been searching...Search is over! Plenty of parking and open hours that fit with my schedule. read more

I thought this place would be nice but the gel manicure I received was horrible! The paint bubbled and ended up peeling off of some of my nails. The manicure was not on point at all and these manicures aren't cheap. I'll never go back there again read more

Came in on a Tuesday 3 pm, and was greeted with friendly staff and sat quickly! Very good detail and great work!! Definitely coming again

I went to the nail shop last night and omfg they fucked my nails up!!!!!! Shape was all off, super thick nails, the design I wanted vs what I got was not even the way the picture looked! Super over priced and not even worth it. Please don't waste your time, because I promise you it's a waste of time and money. DONT GO THERE!!!! read more

1st time trying out this place. Pedicure was not good but the Polish was done great. Also got a full set. The gentleman that did them , pushed his nail into my finger to separate the acrylic from finger and nail , painful! ! I told him, but he kept doing it. The place is very nice and clean. They don't ask for your name or if you want to schedule your next appointment. They want cash not credit card, they charged me .75cent and didn't tell me. I won't be returning. read more

The lady's they have here doing pedicures are mean and very rude. They don't complete the pedi. They don't clean inside your toenails. Just hurry I to put gel and charge you. They always expect a tip! I wouldn't recommend these heffas at all!!!!!! read more

Recently my friends mom, my friend, and I went here to get fills and one full set they rushed my full set didn't even shape my nails the same size and were tryna charge for two different colors they weren't very good at listening .

Today was my last straw with this place! I got a pedicure on Sunday and was happy with it until yesterday when I noticed cracks in the polish. Today I went in on my hour lunch break to get the polish fixed. I wanted a different color and was told off the bat it would be $15. I didn't see why I'd have to pay $15 so I explained that the polished cracked on its own as i haven't done any activity that would cause the polish to crack. The lady helping me says she has to talk to the owner Sofia. She comes back and states that it'll be free for the same color but $15 if I wanted to change the color. Which I completely understand if I were the reason the polish cracked, chipped, peeled or any other given reason. But why would I get the same color if it's just going to crack all over again. If it cracked the first time, that means the polish is old. I asked to speak to Sofia and I was told she was eating. After a little while, the lady speaking to me starts to do the next clients nails! I walked over and asked for Sofia again and I was told she was still eating. Another lady chimes in and asked how can she assist. I tell her my need and reasoning and her and the rest of the coworkers proceed to speak to each other in their language. I wait to get a reply and the lady who first helped me says, "i want to do it for you but I want to do the same color" I replied "that's what you want to do but as the customer, that's not what I want to do." They all speak to each other again and proceed to do the other clients nails and say nothing else to me at all. No service, no customer service assistance whatsoever. I yelled toward the back where Sofia was "you just lost a customer since no one wants to speak to me!" Sofia never came from the back. Not sure what was really going on but as a small business owner, you should be the first one to step out to resolve a complaint from a customer. I've been a client of the place for the last 4-5 years, I have not only given them my patience but also my money! This place has been sinking for quite some time and now that Peter is no longer there, it has completely sunk! I will never return to this place especially for the high paying price of bad and unprofessional customer service. Neither myself, friends or family, for it's to much of a risk to find yourselves unhappy with their work and service. read more
