I typically don't write reviews, but in this case and what had happened to me, I felt the need to…read morewrite a review. I do wanna start off with saying that the pedicures that my husband and I received were amazing and the rating is not for the pedicures. I typically don't get my nails done with acrylics or extensions because I just do press on at home but because it was my birthday weekend I wanted to spoil myself a little bit so I didn't have to put on press and I was pampered a little bit. Originally, I had asked to do a basic manicure, but changed my mind to do gel extensions after seeing some of the work on yelp. So I asked for gelx extensions and I showed them the inspo picture that I wanted from Yelp. After my pedicure was done, they moved me to the chair so that I can start my gelx extension . When the application started, I started noticing that when she was applying the extensions, they were a little bit crooked, but I kept my mouth quiet because I assumed they would just fix it during the filing portion. When it came to the filing portion, for some reason, she pushed back all the cuticles on the inner side of each nail to file and make the almond shape but when it came to filing the outer side of each nail she didn't push the cuticle back which a lot of my fingers had gel on the skin. Once the filing was complete, I looked at my nails, and all of my nails were crooked. They were all pointing outward, and I noticed that one of my fingers had a nail extension that was put on there wasn't even the width of my natural nail, so there was a gap between my natural nail and the gelX extension. This nail had to be redone three times. Another nail artist came by and just grabbed my hand and started filing and didn't even say anything to me, almost like it was a bother to fix my nails. By this time I had been in the shop for almost 2 hours between my pedicure and starting my gelx extension. The nail artist asked me what design I wanted AGAIN, so save time I completely scratched the original design I wanted because it had intricate 3-D art and nail gems and decided to change to cateye nail polish. On the cat eye nail display that was provided me to choose the color, there were two types of magnetic design that I can have one was the S type of shape and there was a French tip "u" shaped magnetic designed that I personally wanted to get. When it came to actually doing the magnetic part to make the nail a cat eye, the artist didn't ask me if I wanted the S shape or the U shape they just kept going and they continued to cure each nail. You might ask why I didn't speak up. It was because I was already in the nail shop for over two hours and me and my husband had plans so I didn't have the time for her to completely remove the color to redo it due to her already curing each nail. Once I got in the car, I could already see that the nail needed at least one or two more coats because you can clearly see through my nail, which took away from the cat eye design and the way that she swirled the magnetic wand, It did not even leave the S shape. There is barely a cat eye on my nails, but to make matters worse, the nail that was used bend so easily and they are not strong whatsoever. So it was a bit of a disappointment to get a set of nails that could be great, but they were not. They were very crooked. I had to go home and fix them myself. So to spend $80 on a set of nails that were crooked, thin, easily bendable and you can see through them and did not have a true cat eye design on them and I paid extra for the cat eye. It was a bit of a disappointment. We are not from this side of the bay so going back to the shop is not an option for me. Again, I wanna repeat this review and rating is specifically for my gel X full set and not the pedicures that were received by my husband and I those were great.

When she wasn't looking done, I examined my nails and still noticed pieces of gel still on there. She went back 3-4 times to fix that. I was in and out in 10 minutes and it cost 10$ for the service. All in all, appreciate their availability to take me last minute, but I think they could show a little more undivided attention to customers (especially when using coarse material on the finger nail area)

When growing up & living in the east bay I had been going to my previous nail salon since 2005. Since moving back to the east bay from Millbrae, I still travel across the bridge to get my nails done at Today's Nails. The women who operate this salon are absolutely amazing ! They are so patient, kind & genuine. They always make sure you leave happy. & I am not kidding when I say they literally know every clients' name that walks in or calls in to make an appointment. Not only do they know each clients' name - they remember a little back story of when each client came in last ! & it is so absolutely authentic. I highly recommend Today's Nails ! Rose, Nancy & Helen are my favorites !

I was in and out under an hour. My toes look AMAZING.

Not only did they have great rapport with him, but were so kind and attentive to his needs. He struggled to communicate but they were sweet and complimentary of his attempts as well as so gentle. I can see why those men trusted Today's nails. Do yourselves a favor and spend your money here. I can see how far it goes!

One of the things I appreciate most is that they are appointment only and always see me right at my scheduled time. I've never been left waiting, and I really value how much they respect their clients' time. The salon is always spotless, the staff is incredibly talented, and they consistently give me exactly what I ask for. The pricing is very reasonable for the level of service and quality you receive. Everyone is so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely kind, which makes every appointment a relaxing and enjoyable experience. They're also impressively efficient fast without ever sacrificing attention to detail. I moved away for a while and tried several other salons, but I could never find a suitable replacement. That's when I realized just how special this place is. I'm so grateful to be back and reunited with my home salon. I wouldn't trust anyone else!

The photos are my natural nails with hard builder gel and gel polish, no fake tips! I've never had a broken nail or any issue going 4+ weeks between fills and I am hard on my nails (cleaning, gardening, etc.) Each person is reliable, respectful, talented and fasttt. I'm out in under an hour and even with a simple design or pedi, 90 minutes tops which is so convenient. I'm quite picky (aka annoying) with the details, they've been patient with me and always receptive to fixing something I didn't love when it comes to shape, color, or design. Although you will be satisfied if you stop in for a one time appointment, this business is perfectly catered for long term customers. I love being loyal to my service providers and have never been disappointed at Alpha. They take good care of their guests, I couldn't recommend them more!

However, once they started doing my nails, they suddenly began applying gel instead. I immediately told the technician that I did not want gel and asked her not to continue, but she continued anyway. On top of that, I had already chosen my color, and they did not tell me until after they had started that they had very limited dip powder colors available. They then tried to give me a completely different color than the one I had selected. To make matters worse, I was charged double for removing my existing polish and applying the new polish. If I had been told upfront that there were limited dip colors and that there would be additional charges, I could have made an informed decision before they started. The entire experience felt misleading, rushed, and extremely frustrating. I went in knowing exactly what I wanted and clearly communicated it, yet I did not receive the service I asked for and was charged more than I expected. I do not recommend this place and will not be returning. There are plenty of nail salons where you should be able to trust that the service you request is the service you'll receive.
