Hands down the best nail salon in town…read more Trust me!!! I've been to many nail salons in the area, and this one is truly top-notch. I love that they have a host who manages reservations and phone calls, so everything runs smoothly. I also appreciate that they never reuse nail files or buffers, which makes the salon feel very clean and hygienic. Another thing I love is that they never make you feel rushed, even when they're busy. If you know, you know! One of the worst salon experiences is when there's a line of people waiting, the technicians rush through your appointment, and the quality of the work suffers. That has never been my experience here. They consistently provide great service, and I always leave happy. Highly recommend!

The salon is very clean and zen. I like it that the nail estheticians don't talk to each other loudly in a foreign lanuage while they do their work like some of the other nail salons I have been to. I normally get the gel manicure and regulare pedicure. I also like it that they separate the manicure station from the pedicure chairs. I have been to places where they do your hand and feet at the same time but It was very uncomfortable having to stretch my arms across. My only negative feedback is parking. You will have to pay for parking if you want to park in the plaza (meter). I sometimes park at Trader Joe's and walk over. Reservations can be made online or by calling the store. I highly recommend this place.

Once I walked in I was asked how I can be helped and as soon as I mentioned my daughter's nails, they just said no, they don't paint kids nails.

Can't really speak on the vibe but once we walked in we didn't feel welcomed. Maybe just not a kid friendly spot.

Soothing spa music was playing, and the TV had captions on, which I appreciated. Great service overall! Everything was wonderful until a lady came in talking loudly on the phone. Unfortunately, there isn't a sign reminding guests to keep their voices down and be respectful of other patrons, so it did take away from the otherwise peaceful atmosphere. Quality: The AC was on, which was a nice touch compared with a few other salons in the area. I got the premium pedicure for $60, and overall, it was a pleasant experience.

When I went to pay after my manicure the lady at the desk now says the price is $35. When I asked about the price change she said it was because I got my nails buffed instead of polished. I was never told there would be an upcharge and I told her so. She said its because buffing the nails takes longer than polishing them. Give me a break! No it doesn't! Plus its cheaper for them since I didn't get my nails polished. This place is a rip off and I'll never go in there again.

My first Russian manicure, and I'm so glad I booked an appointment with Betina here at Betina Nail…read moreStudio. This super cute space is located inside the Salons by JC building. My nails were pretty damaged and all uneven lengths, and Betina fixed them up so nicely. She started with filing my nails, cleaning up the textures and whatnot, and for the nails that needed some additional length, she put some polygel. Once that was dried, she continued to shape my nails. So much detail and precision! The major focus when it comes to Russian manicures and others is the cuticle aspect. A lot of time and precision is spent around this area of the nails- fine drilling tools, the cutting super precise, etc. Once nails were shaped and cuticles/nailbeds very cleaned, the hard gel process started. That was practically painted on the nails. Sounds so simple, but requires so much talent as it's not just a straight application, rather molding and painting on the same time to give it some apex/curvature. It looks so good! You do get to pick a hard gel base color. I chose the one called "latte" which is a shade of light pink, but a bit deeper. Once the hard gel is on and dried, you can finish then, or choose designs, gel polish, etc. I opted for a classic French tip design on the natural hard gel base. So elegant, so perfect. Betina also does chrome design/style and can advise which color hard gel base to start with to get the ideal chrome color/shine/finish. Was tempted to try that, but maybe another time. :) Definitely one of the longest manicures I've had, but it's sooooo good!! The hard gel is supposed to last a long time, so we shall see. Will def be back to get a fill or another full manicure in a month or 2, assuming these nails last me. Here's to stronger/steadier natural nails! Thanks so much, Betina. Had a great time talking with you and I absolutely love my nails.

However, I will admit that I did come in when I had a Gel-X tip split from another salon and they helped me with a new nail and tried to match the color as much as possible. The pedicures, mainly gel ones LAST 3+ weeks. It's probably their top and base because I've brought in my own gel (LeChat) and the results were the same. (I do avoid using DND/Daisy since I'm not a fan of them.) They also cut my nails as short as I request them to and VERY SHORT. Massages sometimes can be hit or miss since I need a firm, deep tissue. But I will say the consistency of having pedicures that can last forever is great! Don't change Kevin and Team! My only cons are that they don't do Russian/dry manicures as a normal mani treatment. Prices are a little high, but that's typical Diablo Valley prices. Oakland/Berkeley/Alameda are around 10-15% cheaper.
