I had the BEST manicure experience here last week as a birthday month treat from a bestie! The staff were friendly and created a calm, peaceful atmosphere. SO many salons are inconsistent in creating such a vibe. The staff took their time in painting my nails using several coats for a longer lasting manicure. They also gave me a recommendation on how to help keep my cuticles healthy. And there was fun music piping in - Lady Gaga and Michael Jackson. SO happy to have FINALLY found my go to neighborhood nail salon! read more

The woman who did my pedi on 3/21 cut the toenail on the great toe too short, causing swelling, redness and pain within two days of getting the pedi. I was told that both sides of the nail are ingrown nail. I am now on oral antibiotics and have to go to a podiatrist to get the nail removed. I'm not happy with this place, to say the least. read more

One of the MANY nail shops that seem to have clustered over the years on Grand Avenue in Oakland. I've seen several changes of ownership, but each time the equipment has been upgraded. As of this review writing, they have installed new chairs that are quite comfortable and functional. They have some new staff along with some veterans and the service is quite good. Standard market pricing. Parking right in front is usually available, which is surprising on such a busy street. read more

I've been going to Jenny and Amy for over 6 years now for all my nail needs. They do an impeccable job every time. I mainly do dipping manicures. Every time they bring my vision to life with skill and ease. I feel confident and happy when I leave. They are kind and lovely people as well. They are by far the best in the Lake Merritt area. Do not be fooled by grits or glamor and any of the shops surrounding them. They are wonderful. We've helped my natural nails grow long and strong and I always get compliments on my manicure. I cannot recommend them enough. read more

In addition to my go-to deluxe mani/pedi, (comes with a scrub, paraffin, aloe vera, and rose petals, and massage, and more) I saw some inspiration on a Instagram nail page and the Grand Nails team was able to give me a similar style! They really did a wonderful job! I left feeling super happy and relaxed! Don't hesitate to come! The staff is super sweet and nails are done to perfection!

Hole in the wall, unpretentious local nail salon. The staff was friendly and not conversational. The manicurist did not attempt to have small talk. Accepts walk-ins with zero wait time. The manicure was short; it took less than 30 minutes. A hand massage was not provided. My favorite part of a manicure is the massage. The manicurist followed instructions and cut my nails short. However, the filing job is uneven. My nails aren't as round as requested. Wide selection of colors and options are available. read more

Grand nails is my go to spot in Oakland! They have always been very kind, polite, and professional, which I greatly appreciate. Most recently, they squeezed me in for a last minute manicure about 2 days before my wedding. Although doing my nails kept them working about 5 minutes past closing, they were very accommodating.

VERY CLEAN- FRIENDLY- DETAIL ORIENTATED BEST MASSAGES - NAIL ART - I am OBSESSED with Grand Nails! Jenny did my dip powder manicure and Amy helped in the beginning. They truly take pride in the work they do and they do an amazing job! I cannot recommend this place enough! I have so much to say below to explain as to why. Pictures will also be attached. Firstly, everyone at this salon is so friendly. They introduce themselves and then asked for my name. This never happens to me lol. They're all just really sweet and on my way out, I said bye to everyone working. Just a really friendly space to be in. Made my day. Attention to detail is their specialty amongst so many other things. Amy shaped my nails to perfection and got my nails in mint condition for Jenny to come in and finish the dip powder process. If you're in rush, maybe make that known. They really care about the work they do so it does take time. I personally love that they take the extra time and I wasn't in a rush but if you are, just say something. I'm sure they also do an amazing job when working fast. I overheard someone say they were in a rush and they got her out of there fast. They take walk ins and appointments without seeming to compromise anyone's appointment. Cleanliness!!!! They have plastic in the pedicure chair bowls, and I saw them scrub them each time someone left. Dip powder is put in a separate container!!! Tools are clean and come out of a plastic bag. I showed Jenny a picture of what I wanted and even offered some other cute ideas that I want to try next time. She truly knows what she doing and I'm so happy I found this place. I also saw Amy and Annie and another female (I didn't catch her name) giving deluxe pedicures and grown men were literally groaning because of good of leg/foot massages they were giving. If you're looking for what seems to be the best pedicure in the area, definitely come here! read more

Not feeling great about my last visit. I came in for an appt I thought I had, to be greeted a little coldly by the owner. She told me my appt was the day before, which I know was not because I always schedule appointments by saying the day of the week and the date. I was okay to get my nails done somewhere else - it was a scheduling error, no harm done - but she insisted that she could get someone 2 hours later. She looked really stressed out about me taking my business to a different salon, so I said I would come back in 2 hours. For those 2 hours, I walked around trying to kill time. I come in for my appt and towards the end, she rushed through my manicure to tend to someone else. She had her male friend, who I had never seen at the salon, finish my appt. It was the most uncomfortable experience I have had at a salon. He clearly was untrained, and I do not believe he was even a formal employee. He tried to give me a hand massage with a hot towel while we made awkward small talk, I just politely told him we could just end there. When I go to pay, he prints out the receipt which I sign and write in the tip on. Before I leave, he has the gall to lecture me on why I should pay cash, and proceeds to cross out my tip on the receipt. Everyone in the salon can hear how "they prefer cash so that they don't need to report it on their taxes", and all I could do is nod politely. I've been coming here for a whole year, and I have never been that loyal to any salon. If it was just the scheduling error and had the owner been more gracious about it, I'd probably go back - but come on, so many red flags. read more

Well, apparently Grand Nails has more than one Powder Dip specialist. Mary, my regular specialist was not in and Jenny did my dips for me. I interviewed her first to make sure she had been doing dip nails for awhile, and she assured me that I would not be disappointed. What I like about this place is they soak off your nails (unlike some salons who drill off the previous color). Everything went great from color removal with the soak off and gentle filing to complete old color removal to my final beautiful powder dipped nails. The two pictures tell the story. I'm a happy nail camper. Thanks Jenny. read more

When I pointed out that the polish was on my skin and the nail not clipped right she actually blamed me for the problem. There were other items that I noticed but allowed to pass. So glad to have moved to another salon.

The shop doesn't have a street-level storefront so you have to use a code to get into the building/upstairs. Really clean and aesthetic space with limited number of stations. I think there were only four pedicure stations and five nail stations in total. I really like the selection of colors and styles but just wanted to do a simple regular pedicure and gel manicure for this visit. My only question was pricing. It's not clear how much each service is and I didn't see a pricing list in store. There's a 10% discount for first-time visitors but somehow I still paid the same as another customer who got a gel mani/pedi when I only did a gel mani. I didn't bother questioning the beauty technician because she did a really good job and gave me the 10% discount. Would go back again (and just pay more attention to the pricing)!
