As someone who almost never gets manicures or pedicures, I was super grateful that Kim was able to squeeze my boyfriend and I last minute on a Friday evening. The current rate is $28 for a pedicure. As someone who works in a profession where it's very important to be on time, I low-key wished that she only squeezed one of us in instead of two people. We came in at 5:40 PM and while I had an entire hour to spare, I wish I was done in less than an hour. I didn't realize that helping me would make the nail tech late for her next client which I felt bad for. Massages also felt a little rushed. They have an extensive Instagram page to showcase previous designs. Overall I recommend this business to anyone with manicure and pedicure needs.
Since I moved South from the East Bay, I've had some difficulty finding my nail salon. I remain open and keep trying new places (sometimes at the cost of my fingers). Although I love the concept and ambiance of French Nail Boutique, I was unimpressed by the nail tech. You guys, I'm pretty fair when it comes to small business and folks in the cosmetology field. Maybe she was under pressure or tired from the work day, but my experience here was disappointing. I would have given three stars but she when she left the blood on my finger, polished over it (without cleaning it first) after cutting my skin, I knew it was a doozy. I know accidents happen sometimes, but most folks clean it before proceeeding. Yikes! Back to square one and taking nail salon recommendations..
Kim literally saved my wedding! I had gotten my nails done at a different salon for my wedding and didn't like the results. A friend recommended Kim and I called first thing in the morning and she was able to take me in immediately. She saw my inspo picture and said she can fix it. I was so happy with the results, I feel like my wedding day was saved lol Thank you Kim!
I just moved here from San Diego and was looking for a local nail salon to refresh my nails. I found French Nail Boutique here on Yelp, called to see if they can take me in 15 mins, and they did! And what a hidden gem! Friendly service, was offered a drink upon settling in, a beautiful & clean salon, and my mani/pedi turned out lovely! And the hand, shoulder, and arm massage in the end was exactly what I needed after weeks of moving. I've never had that at other nail salons. It felt calming and not rushed, unlike other places. I loved my convo about life with Kim and Mindy kept checking in with me to see if I was satisfied with the progress. This was outstanding service, and this is comkfrom someone who also works in customer service! I just found my new go-to salon! Thank you for your lovely service, Kim and Mindy! I'll be back. -Mare
I came to French nail salon today. I called last minute and asked if I could come in for a gel manicure and a regular Pedi. They were able to take me right away! I was greeted by the friendly staff, and they took good care of my nails. They also have a good selection of colors.
I usually go to another nail salon salon around Alum Rock but since I was within the area, I decided to stop by with my cousin since she normally gets her nails done here. The shop is small but it's so nice! I absolutely love the decoration and the pedicure area itself. Since we did not make an appointment, the wait was a bit long. The customer service was on point though, very nice people and extremely welcoming here. The prices are a bit more expensive than usual nail salons but completely worth the price you're paying for. Would I recommend? DEFINITELY!
I've always had a pretty good experience at the salon. However, today I was a very disappointed. I had scheduled an appointment at 11 am, and I was told there was a mix up in the schedule, and I was scheduled at 9:45am instead. So I had told Kim, the owner I wasn't happy about the mix up, and this was the last straw on top of a bunch of other things like a waxing that happened a few months back (which my skin had came off). When it came time to pay, my regular pedicure with gel pedicure was $35, and normally it is $30 (regular pedicure $25 with $5 extra for gel polish). With my gel manicure the total came out to $75 before tip. $90 after with a 20% tip. I had inquired about the extra charge, and I was told by Stephanie that the pricing had "always been like that". I had asked Kim again privately about the price raise and she said that happened 3 months ago. Yet the last time I came to see them, which by the way was about 3 weeks ago, and the pricing was their regular pricing. It just doesn't feel honest to me. I really liked coming here, and given them chance after chance, and had referred countless people over. However, after today I will be looking somewhere else for a new nail home. I'm super disappointed, and it was the straw that broke the camels back.
I made an appointment three days ago. I've never been here but the reviews were great so I wanted to try it out. I requested a delux pedi (gel) with paraffin wax and acrylic overlay-on my natural SHORT nails. My toe nails were cut so extremely short and crooked they hurt afterwards. I was stabbed underneath my toenail twice. It was very painful. The "scrub" on the pedi-exfoliating was nothing more than 5 seconds or so. Not worth it. The mask on my legs and massage were very nice. My nails already chipped 3 days after getting them done. I was cut on my cuticles twice. Overall, the ladies that did the service were so sweet and I appreciate their time. They were very kind. However, the work itself was not great. I paid $110 not including the tip I left.
Kim is great! Shes super diligent, the polish is always smooth and never has weird bumps or is uneven. She takes her time and always does her best. I always get simple gel manicures and this is the best salon I've been to in terms of application of the polish, as well as how much she cares about the customer and the quality. Im from Fremont, but Ill be back! The salon is very clean as well read more

Well I've gone here 4 times consecutively and the first time I was happy. They did what I wanted and charged me $55, not too bad, more expensive than my last spot but I thought this was going to be my new go to. For reference I get long coffin nails, usually ombré with an accent nail. So the second time I go, did something along these lines and was pretty happy, it was $60. I did have 2 broken nails so figured that was why the extra cost. The 3rd time I go I decide not to get ombré, just different colors on different nails with 2 of my nails with a silver line through it, it was $68. So it is what it is. Not too sure why it cost even more but I went home and decided to wait 3 weeks to get my nails filled instead of the normal 2 since it was expensive. Here comes the 4th trip, I needed a new set as they recommended last time so I ask for dark navy blue powder ombré to clear with one accent nail with glitter. Well she decided to do my whole nail in the natural powder (not clear) and dust on a night blue powder for the ombré (not dark blue and not actually using the blue powder for the ombré). At this point I'm already not happy as she didn't do what I had asked but I tend to not fight about it as I know I'll just have to live with them for a few weeks and lesson learned. WELL! Now it's time to pay.... she tells me $75!! I have had enough and asked her to explain why it was $75. Here's the breakdown she gave me: $45 for ombré set (which wasn't really ombré..) $10 for the 2 accent nails $10 for something else that I can't even remember And that's $65 total right? So she had to pause for a minute and say "hmm what else was it that I was thinking?" She then said it was $10 more for the length of my nails. Are you kidding me??? I am so appalled by this place, charging me more every time I go and for things that don't even make sense! You can see in the picture also that they're all different lengths, please let me know if these are $75 nails... I am more unhappy with them than I've ever been, and I've been to some really bad nail salons. Just be ready to pay an arm and a leg for a simple set at this place, or be prepared to be taken advantage of. read more

I am so disappointed. I thought I found my new nail salon. They did an excellent job and the place was very nice. I even referred my coworkers to this place due to my experience. After my second visit, I noticed something green on my nail. I asked the lady if it is fungus. She told me "no it's a bruise". I now have fungus on two of my nails. This is not a bruise. I have never experienced this in my life and i have been getting my nails done for quite some time now. I will not be back. read more

After trying lots of different nail salons in the Bay Area, I'm so glad I found French Nail Boutique! My mom and I have been getting acrylic fills done here for a few months now and every single experience we've had has been awesome and shown beautiful attention to detail. It's a clean, small but spacious shop with cute decor and a great selection of colors and designs to choose from. Kim and Susan are amazingly talented and extremely gentle. If it's your first time stopping in, I would totally recommend making an appointment with either of them. My mom has very sensitive hands and Susan is very patient and careful when working with the drill and file. I'm kind of a perfectionist when it comes to my nails but both of them always impress me. They make sure to routinely check in and ask how we're liking the shape, color or design while they work and their tools always look sterile. Every time we walk in, someone will take the time to welcome us and offer complimentary refreshments. It's a very friendly and professional environment. Again, I really want to thank Kim and Susan in particular for the amazing customer service. They truly want you to love your nails and will listen to make sure you leave completely satisfied! read more

This is my favorite nail salon bar none. You come in and not only do you get your nails done, but you're treated like family. They remember my name every time, Kim is the BEST if you like specialty acrylics. Kim's husband met my boyfriend one time (he liked his car) and he asks about my boyfriend every time I see him. They genuinely remember and make connections with each and every customer. The salon is beautiful, so clean, and just plain cute. There's always a large flatscreen playing some throwback music videos which is fun. Feeling thirsty? They've got water and yummy green tea. And they're happy to get it for you! Now the most important part: the nails! I've had dip powder, gel manicure, acrylics, French tips, special nail designs, pedicures, it's all great. Each nail tech has a high level of attention to detail and you'll always leave happy! read more

My friend and I went to the French Nail Boutique on a Friday and were their first appointment of the day. When we were getting our nails done it felt like they rushed us out so they could help other people because they made there appointments to close together. After getting home I realized that they forgot to put clear coat on one of my nails. And that the sparkles I got were already lifting. When my friend was getting her nails done she asked for a color and the lady said that color would look bad. Then she just picked a color without letting my friend choose which color she wanted. Also her nail broke after two days of having them done. read more

First time here. Came here two days ago and was happy I got in at the last minute. I felt bad too because the person who did my nails stayed after closing. Unfortunately, she did seem a little rushed. I got gel done on both my finger and toe nails. They look nice, but seem a little thin? Usually I feel like they put a thicker coat on. And they aren't shiny at all... Anyway, my nails are already chipped. I'm leaving for vacation too :( Pretty sad as I spent $98 on both. read more

I really wanted to love this place. It's super close to work and very convenient for me + the interior of this salon is SUPER cute. They also have an amazing collection of colors and designs. Kim is super nice too. I really love the decor the vibes in here. My 2 star review comes from just bad quality work. I got a gel mani on the 26th of April, which was a Thursday, but Monday one nail lifted a litttle and I tried to just glue it down, but exactly one week after my nail apt, a chunk of gel just completely peeled off. Now fast forward to Monday/today, more lifting and it has been less than 2 weeks. I've had gel manis from other salons in the past last for 9 weeks (because I was lazy to go get them done), but besides being grown out, I have never experienced lifting. Sad, I really wanted to love it here, but I think I will make the drive to get my nails done somewhere else. I've gotten 2 gel manis here, and the first one was pretty good -done by Kim. It lifted a little sooner than usual, but still lasted about 2.5-3 weeks and I was satisfied with how fast it was, in and out, which is perfect for my lunch break. This time it was started by Kim and finished by Stephanie and it just didnt not last :( I also noticed they raised their gel mani price up by $5 which would have been fine if my nails lasted. read more

I've visited French Nail Boutique twice now and both experiences have been delightful! They're able to do a full, color change with multiple colors and designs in under a hour. I recently got a mani pedi and it was just as good as the first visit. I also was able to make an appointment day of! The staff is super professional and is able to do excellent work! The shop has super cute decor and is very clean. I would definitely recommend this place to any of my family and friends. read more

I really wanted to love this place because the service was mostly friendly & the interior is beautiful and seemed clean. I called in & made an appointment for Thursday, 4/26 and the person over the phone gave me a time that would work best for them. My pedi went well and overall shaping and application of polish was fine. No issues. However the mani was really disappointing. Overall shaping was okay...since my nails were short. It's the polish application that really needs work. Excess gel polish needs to be removed/ wiped from the edges and it shouldn't touch the cuticles or skin or it'll lift faster. My nail tech started off okay and when two more clients came in, I could sense her rushing. Polish application is sloppy. I had a huge chunk of the second layer missing from my thumb & bumps all over the other fingers. And the thing I disliked most is that she rubbed lotion on my hands/arms and then told me I was done. It was my first time at this shop and I don't know if this shop gives hot towels to wipe off the lotion or anything but I felt so rushed out of my seat. Additionally, I was asked if I had cash. I saw that they took card so I didn't bring extra cash for the services aside for tip. Then, when I gave the tip, I asked if she had change for a $5 so I could get ones. She said no while patting her pockets and looking at the front table but not really searching. I didn't want to tip only $5 since my services were $55, I wanted to tip $6 or $7. But since she didn't have any change, I just gave her $10. I was really disappointed by the time I left the shop. Then a couple days later, not even a week, I noticed all the edges were lifting and it would get caught in my hair. ABSOLUTELY DISAPPOINTING. Based on all the other reviews, it seems like this shop does great work for acrylic or fake nails and probably great work by the owner. But aside from that, their regular gel mani needs improvement. read more

I went here earlier for the first time last week and absolutely loved my experience. I was welcomed by everyone and sat down right away. Susan did my nails and I love them. She had good recommendations and plenty of options. The offered me refreshments and were extremely attentive. Helen did my gel pedi and gave a great massage and also offered several options. They were about $15 more expensive than what I'm used to but it was worth it. The decor of the place was super cute and felt more comfortable than the typical nail shop. They had light music playing and the chairs were perfect. Highly recommended! read more

I found this place in the yelp, and I gave it a try. The ladies over there are so nice, very patient and attentive. They do dipping powder very well. They took the necessary time to get my nails done. The place is charming, however it doesn't have massage chair (for the ones that like it) I personally don't mind. I liked the experience and probably I will be back :) read more
