    My vacation bling, thanks vinnie!
    Randi C.

    One name you need to remember when you go to this shop...VINNIE! this shop was suggested to me by my cousins who have been going for over 10 years. He is quick and to the point. I love that you can come in with an idea and he'll just go from there. I recently went in this past Friday to get my gel filled, im going to Jamaica in a few days and wanted something bright with sparkle, he asked me what colors I wanted and went from there. As im typing now I cant stop staring at my nails, they have just enough flash. The prices are pretty reasonable, I dont get tips, just gel over my real nails and that was 25, I believe a fill is around the 15.00 range and goes up depending on what else you want done. I have not been able to get a pedicure but Im sure I will get around to that soon. I live in the southbay and I travel all the way to east oakland because I dont trust anyone with else but vinnie with gel. When you stop by, tell him Veronica sent you ;-) OH! and make sure you bring cash, he doesnt accept credit or atm. There is an atm machine about a block down though..go at your own risk lol Photos to come...

    This place is not the fanciest for sure but they do a great job for a a pretty good price. I always come here and they always leave my nails looking so bomb, supper shiny and smooth. They last up to a month and they don't fall off like when I go to other places. The only thing I would say that I don't like that much is that gel is the only thing that I recommend getting because their polishes aren't the best. They have mostly like glitter and vivid polishes very poor color selection. However for gel they have it all from nudes to glitters to vivid colors. Besides that tiny inconvenience I totally recommend you go there.

    Love my summer nails

    Ok so I have been going to another shop a few blocks down the street but as usual they were busy and were also closing early. It was Saturday I checked yelp and came across this shop because it was in close proximity to where I currently was. I walked in I was greeted immediately. I needed a fill/pedi and a mani/pedi for my daughter. Kim ran my water perfectly did a wonderful job on my nails and TOOK HER TIME wasn't rushed. Now the nails Vinnie was quick efficient and truly knows customer service. And my eyebrows are great! Other customers that I was speaking with are loyal customers 10+years of him providing service to them says alot about the quality of work he gives. I hit the jackpot will be returning back!!!!

    Another great experience. This time the woman did my gel nails with tips. She is just as good as her mate.

    I relocated to the Bay in 2024 and had been searching for a while for a go-to nail tech in Alameda,…read moreand I'm so glad I found Lily! She's puts a lot of care in to her work, she works fast, and her designs always come out amazing. Every appointment feels easy and relaxed, and I always leave loving my nails. Highly recommend her!

    I was hopeful to try this salon as it had fairly decent reviews and photos looked good. I've been…read morelooking for a nail salon in Alameda since my previous salon is a bit too far. However my experience was less than ideal. I went in wanting dip as I was reading it was stronger and I've been struggling with lifting off builder gel. Multiple staff kept talking out of it and that their builder gel lasts a long time, uncomfortable but hopeful I said okay since Builder Gel is better for your nails in the long run. I got one color, builder gel on natural nails, and just a simple shape. Nothing too complicated I haven't gotten elsewhere before. I went home and thought it was fine for the money, $45 for builder gel + $8 tip. Probably wasn't going to return but also wasn't going to write a review. However, after 1 day my pointer finger nail chipped and started lifting and my middle finger also started lifting. I called and they said to come in and they would fix it. I went in and sat for 30 minutes until someone saw me -- had 3 different people come look my nails in the meantime but never start prep process, etc. After 30 minutes I was taken to a different station and she took maybe 15 minutes to "fix" the issue. Upon leaving and having a time to look better at my nails I still left unsatisfied. I chose not to go back a third time as I don't feel confident they will be able to actually do my nails well. I gave 2 stars as they did offer and attempt to fix my nails and didn't charge me for the "fix." I would be cautious going here as it seems your experience may vary...
