    Came here for my bday and service was amazing they were able to accept a walk in of 5 for 4 pedi's and 1 full set. Staff was very friendly and inviting. I will definitely be coming back.

    Hot pink!

    Came for a mani + pedi and left really happy with my end result. Will definitely be returning. The shop is clean, the nail techs are friendly and they advised me that the color I chose was only available in an old bottle so they asked to match the color with a new product and I'm really glad they did.

    It was my first time coming to this beautiful nail salon. Everything is clean and cute! I made an appointment which was honored, without more than 2min wait time. (They we're finishing up with another client) I got a gel manicure and a regular pedicure, basic, but done WELL. The nail techs weren't skimpy with the polish, and gave extra coats to make sure both my hands and feet were beautiful, and would last long.

    I've been coming to this salon for at least 5 months and have always been treated well. I've called them and same day appointment is available depending on how flexible you are with timing. Pricing is reasonable and affordable Quality of work is great, they do a thorough job in cleaning the nail bed and cuticles. Never had any issues with after care I've had full set acrylics, done fills, mani/pedi. Most recently giving myself a break from acrylic and my nails look so healthy! I will continue to visit Hi Tech

    Rose does it for me every time!!! The attention to detail and effort to make you look glamorous is so appreciated!! Thank you!

    Rose always delivers quality work and service! She is the only person I trust with my nails because she always leaves me feeling glamarous and I know my nails will last me a long time. 100/10000!! Thank you

    I always like to get advise from a nail lady that will it look good or how you think it would be more perfect because sometimes internet pictures deceive you. But this lady was like whatever you say I know some customers give them hard time but here I am taking the all responsibility it's upto me I just need a advise that will it look good with my hands or we can modify it. Very unpleasant experience as she never asked me do I liked my nails or is there anything she wants me to change . She did my manicure and never hid my original nails with base which really looks bad on my nails . Another thing I called in made an appointment and also inquired about pricing she gave me wrong pricing information charged me almost 20$ extra what she told over the phone. Lady who did my manicure was in so hurry she didn't even cut my cuticles even though I made an appointment .

    Here's how she left my nails and this is what I paid $40 for

    I usually come here when my normal nail lady is booked up because it's close to home and very convenient. I just had a horrible experience and left in tears. The service is fast and friendly but it's almost like they're rushing to get you out. I sat down to have a fill done. She found the perfect color to match what I already had. I asked her I wanted French tip. Most people know how to do French tip in this Day and age but unfortunately this was not the case I had to show her pictures of how I wanted it. It came out super chunky and big each nail was a different length and shape of French tip. Overall, I left very unsatisfied. I told her I just didn't like it and wanted her to take the polish off in the long run because of how terrible of a job she did, she was sick and coughing the entire time eating cough drops the appointment, the other woman who was getting her nails done had a similar experience because they were not listening to how she wanted her nails done either. I don't know if this was just an off day for them, but I still ended up having to pay $40 for the fill, which I believe, I should not have paid for. They are rushing and do not listen to what you want.

    Meh. This place had good fast service but my nails do not look that great haha. There's still nail polish on my skin. Not acceptable :( paying $77 for this when I can do a better job at home is exactly why people are buying nail kits. I came to be relieved of the need to do it on my own cause I'm on vacation, but now I kinda regret it.

    Kate did an amazing Job exactly what I wanted and more. She gave a recommendation that I loved. Her attentiveness to detail is spot on. Great spot in alameda to get your nails done.

    Acrylic manicure

    I get my nails done here for special events and vacations and I've always had a great experience with the owner. She is very attentive and is happy to modify for me. They have very few people working here but can usually take you day of which I appreciate. I had been trying nail salons all over alameda and have been cut multiple times by technicians that weren't paying attention while filing my nails. I finally gave up and tried this salon 2 blocks away and have never had an issue!

    Love Love Love... overlay acrylic w/ gel polish Outstanding service. Very clean & friendly.

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...

All of the pricing in San Francisco is rather high in comparison to back home. I stumbled upon Vena's late at night scrolling through Yelp and couldn't be happier! The establishment is clean, the service was amazing, and I'd definitely come back again. I got a basic gel pedicure which was $50. I had grown out gel polish from about 3 months ago that they carefully removed. They even noted that the color I liked was sheer and recommended mixing 2 shades to make the color pop more. Other places would not provide their suggestion. The lady doing my pedicure was careful and kind. It took about 1 hour in total after finishing the gel and doing a massage/lotion with hot stone. I did not expect to be so pampered! I do highly recommend an appointment because they are BUSY! I had my pedicure on a Sunday and while they do take walk-ins, the salon was quite packed with existing appointments. They were honest with the long wait time with folks walking in which I appreciated as other places make you sit without real notice of when they can receive you. I can't wait to come back again and maybe try a manicure next time.

The reason for 3 stars is solely dependent on the amount of time, and how much the services costed, a minor service issue as well, not terrible though. This is my first time here, i was taking a stroll on park and saw this place and peaked in and saw how luxurious and clean it looked, very big open space, lots of massage chairs, so i decided to pop and see for myself. So i stroll in around 4:30pm, for a new set and gel pedi. Typically both services take me at most 2 hours. I get sat down to remove my current acrylic set, this probably took at least 30-45 minutes. From the filing, to the soaking, removal, soaking again, and removal again. This is the longest I've ever experienced a removal. Then comes the cutting and shaping of my natural nails to prep for my new set. Finally i get moved to a massage chair to start my pedicure. I opted for the deluxe so this comes with a variety of things, from what i can remember, at least 2 masks, scrub, 10 minute massage, and hot rocks after. The total for this was $70, which is way more than what i would've normally paid at different locations, but I'm not knocking it, just isn't in my range but can be for someone else. Quality isn't great, but isn't bad. This is where my service issue/frustration comes in. My pedicure took almost 45 mins, and finally someone comes to start my set, or so i thought. She kept moving around, from one person to another, helping another client in between, but there are 3 other workers. I then get moved to a table, and I'm waiting again for about 10 minutes. She sits back down with me, and i thought okay great we're starting forreal now. Nope, we weren't. There was another client waiting, and she stops what she's doing with me, the gentlemen comes over and she moves to help the other client and he's now my nail tech. It is now 6:38pm and we're finally starting my set. Precise time because i was texting my bf to let him know bc this process was just taking so long. And i kid you not, the process from putting on the gel x nails, to shaping, filing, etc etc, i didn't walk out of there until 8:12pm. I did a very basic paint with cat eye polish. Typically 2 layers of paint, but he painted at least 5 layers before starting the cat eye magnetic process... In total i paid $168, and tipped $20. The amount of time spent there and the cost of it all, and being moved around from one person to another, ultimately costed the 2 stars. But again, this is just my experience i am sharing, and not to deter your decision to visit, because the quality of work is there.

    After a break of over one year since my last visit here, I am impressed with how this place has…read moregotten even better and they were already pretty good and one of my favorite Nail Salons in Alameda. First of all, the service is ALWAYS friendly and they do a great job of acknowledging business that walks in and ensuring waiting clients are comfortable; offering water or tea upon entering and providing a spacious, clean and comfortable waiting area. Also, this salon has to be the CLEANEST and most organized nail salon on the island. With recent decor upgrades, it's an even more beautiful and relaxing space. I can appreciate a staff who pays attention to details other than the work they do on nails. Especially with nail service prices climbin in general, it's nice that the salon puts a huge effort for the space to feel luxe and comfortable. Anyway, I came in with bare nails that needed help after 2 months of Gel X sets and fills. I opted for hard gel over my natural (itty bitty) nails to add strength and durability while I grow my natural nails out. For anyone curious, it's very similar to acrylic over natural nails or nail tips but the material is gel based (I think polygel?) The nail tech was kind, patient and thorough. After about an hour of work, my nails looked revived and despite the short length of my natural nails, they still looked bomb and cute. A little sparkly top coat on top of the milky pink hard gel and my manicure was done. I can't wait for my fill appointment when my nails are a bit longer and can start to be shaped out to the medium-short almond length I'm aiming for.

I broke one nail the night before and asked for a gel x one to replace the broken nail. My hope was to maintain the length that I worked hard to grow. The technician chose a nail that didn't fit my finger at all. Proceeded to awkwardly place the nail and glued/cured it down. Not only is it lifted and separated, it's misaligned. I can literally fit a metal file between the real nail and the pressed on one. When I brought this up, she proceeded to tell me that my nail is crooked and that's the reason for the gap.. *cue angelah Johnson's skit* I asked her to take it off and to try an acrylic nail instead since she didn't seem to keen on gel x. She refused and instead filed the sides more to 'fix it'. Bottom line is this, there's really only one token person who does all the different services well. Everyone else either seems to be fillers for simple manicure and pedicures. I'm tired of spending my hard earned money on techs that don't know how to do something you ask but attempts anyway and will not take accountability for when they mess up. This is not a nail school and the prices don't reflect it either. I now have to pay someone else, somewhere else to fix the one nail after spending $90 here. Let this be a PSA: We work too hard to earn our money for these life luxuries. Don't let shops like this make you feel like you're the problem when you bring up their wrong doing. You deserve to get what you pay for. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST.
