Nhi took her time on my nails and didn't complain once about the design I wanted. She was not preoccupied with engaging in conversation with the other nail techs. They're a little on the pricey side for pedicures, but I really like how they place plastic bags inside of the foot spas (this is not commonplace for many nail salons, unfortunately). They also offer you water. Thanks iNail Spa! read more

iNailspa - done by Nhi. thank you! - Nail Salons Near Me - Alameda, California

I really like it here! Great job on the nails and friendly staff. I had pictures of some nail designs that I want to do, and they did meet my expectations! I had Nhi and she's wonderful. Very careful and attention to details. Overall you can tell she's really great at what she does. I had another lady, sorry I didn't catch your name, and she's also wonderful because she took the time to make my toes look so pretty~ and just a very nice person :) The pricing is really reasonable here and I can't wait to come back. read more

I'm not the type of person that would write a bad review for a business or even write a review in general but I felt this was a need. I have always gone to inails to get my mani and pedi due to the fact it has a huge parking lot for customers, friendly service and the price is not bad at all. But..today was my worst experience ever. I normally come in on a weekday but today i came in on a saturday for the first time. Everybody that worked there today were faces i never seen before (only 2 familiar faces). The girls that did my mani and pedi were definitely new (i confirmed with them). After choosing my color, the lady that was going to do my pedi asked me to sit on a seat that had nail filing debris all over the chair. And she expected me to sit on that?? She then saw it and decides to dust it off but onto the water i was gonna soak my feet in. Wth? Another thing that threw me off was when the girl that did my mani pour away my used soaking hand water bowl into the water where i was suppose to soak my feet. I was only have way done with my pedi. My feet still needed to be soaked in the water. Wth? Theres much more rudeness to the story but im not going to get into details. Long story short. Dont know if ill come back. But I definitely learned my lesson of not to come on a saturday and to only have girls im familiar with to do my nails. read more

iNailspa - So slopppy ughhh - Nail Salons Near Me - Alameda, California

Sadly I stopped going here about a year ago I got a horrible toe infection was on antibiotics for 3 weeks and foot soaks of all kinds my toe was disgusting all because 1. As the owner says her tech did not perform the process of taking an ingrown nail out correctly or dirty tools. Anyways I was under so much stress I had wear sandals for half the year my toe nail fell off now I have a weird toe nail but I'm glad I did not get staph infection. I just can't trust a place like this anymore it's sad because the tech who did my nails is amazing. Now I schedule personal nail apts with a nail tech who opens a clean sanitized tool pack each visit. read more

If you want to get your nails done in a relaxing, clean & affordable environment, then iNail Spa is definitely a place to consider. Like other reviewers mentioned, this place is clean! I overheard a customer worry about getting sick since someone was coughing in the area. The worker immediately took some Lysol/Clorox wipes to clean that specific area. I decided to get a full set and it turned out really nice. She was really patient with me when I decided last minute that the color on my ring finger didn't look as how I anticipated. My only complaint is the lack of nude colors they provide, which isn't a huge deal if you are the type to bring in your own nail polishes. I am highly interested in getting their pedicures next! I already booked my appointment for a refill :) read more

UPDATE- Jenny is the bomb too! Like said before, a lot of the employees are very talented, it's just a matter of who vibes with who. I've been coming here for well over six months now, and I've found it to be a hit or miss, until recently, that is (Thanks Tom!). I always get acrylic (fill) and gel manicure. Every once in a while, I'll get a pedicure. Ive had three botched jobs, all by people who don't seem to work there very often. The first time was on New Year's Eve, so it was definitely a bummer. It was an older lady doing my nails as I got a pedicure at the same time. Some nails came out crooked and wonky and the paint job was sloppy. The second time was this man that seems to be there a lot more recently, but I haven't had him since. He was super nice, but I wasn't impressed with the work. I tried that new shimmer polish that's super popular. Not only did the polish start to crack the next day- not chip, but crack, like huge craters.. (and it just got worse over time) but two of them broke within a week. The 3rd time was by a lady who I haven't seen there since that day. She seemed to be related to the woman who I believe is the shop manager. Either that or maybe it was her first day... But the manager lady was standing over her talking the whole time. I ended up not liking the first color I chose, so I had to pick a different one... She made me feel rushed and seemed annoyed that I didn't know exactly what I wanted the first time. The paint job was the sloppiest I've ever had and I was leaving for a week the next day, do gad to deal with it.I tend to get creative with my colors, so it was a bad experience being rushed. THANKFULLY I've now found Tom!! He's awesome at what he does and he listens!! I haven't had a bad job from him yet and I schedule with him only. He knows how to shape, suggest awesome color schemes, is efficient and fast, and very professional. There definitely are other talented people at inail, but Tom is my guy and I'm so happy I found him! If you ever leave, call me. Lol read more

Loved how my acrylics fill turned out! This place is spacious compared to most nail salons and all of the workers are friendly. The gentleman (Not Vu) was very careful with the drill machine and he filed my coffin nails until it was symmetrical. It came out to be $35. Thank you for doing a great job! read more

This is my favorite nail salon. I've been a regular for many years. The staff are always so kind and take care of me. I feel like they're my family. My favorite is Dao I love that they have a private parking lot and in a great location. I always feel happy after my appointments. read more

The staff was very nice and friendly but the manicure wasn't great. I got a French dip powder manicure that turned out very chunky and quickly discolored after just a day or two. read more

First off... $48 mani & pedi?!?! Yo!! You can't go wrong with that with this type of treatment! This just makes you wanna tip your nail tech $10+ People say "you get what you pay for" but this is honestly a nail shop of quality and their hundreds of gel colors along with matching reg Polish! (No mix matching bihhhhh) the ladies working on me were so sweet and nice which I love how they are talkative haha (thank you Bao& Anna) My first time coming here since my usual nail shop made me realize they weren't very clean. This place is VERY clean and sanitary, using disposable filers, disposable scrubs, clean new tools, and plastic over all the pedi bowls. A lot of nail shops are under appreciated about meeting the hygienic standard. Although all nail shops HAVE to do this, a lot don't but iSalon meets the requirements (so far) which I truly appreciate! They ask if you want some water to drink, yes with my thirsty ass!! they're massage chairs has so many options I just want everything on at the same time! They put lemons and rose pedals in your pedi bowl, got my feet smellin extra freshhh, ready for someone to lick em! Jk after my massage, she used a hot stone to rub on it! What!!!! Yes please!! My nails came out nice! I'd like for them to use a fine point around the corners (like the old place I use to go to) so I'll try to wiggle that in as I slowly keep coming in hehehe The decor there can be alittle more modern and up to date but that has nothing to Do with my nails so I'm not trippin, don't bother me much! read more

If ever 0 stars was applicable! I have been to iNails Spa about 3-4 times in the past 6 months. I have a regular nail shop I go to but when they are booked, I didn't mind iNails as an alternative. Although I wouldn't use words like "personable or friendly" to describe iNails, they have always done a decent job and have gotten me in and out timely. This past Saturday that all changed!! I went in for my usual gel mani/pedi. Two women began to assist me, and almost immediately they seemed annoyed. I had to ask the woman doing my mani to be more gentle as she was being really rough with my cuticles. It got worse, the two woman began speaking amongst themselves, laughing, and bringing other workers into their conversation, which I realized was about me once the other workers began looking over at me. I was humiliated....and pissed. I should have left, but I had a birthday party to attend and didn't want to go with half completed nails. Honestly, I should have just bounced with the half done nails. When leaving, I asked to speak to a manager. I expressed how disrespectful it is for employees to be OBVIOUSLY laughing and talking about a customer. Her response? She turned red and said "I'm sorry". No denial! I'll take my business elsewhere from here on out. P.S. I got diamond designs that washed down the sink later the same day.. read more

Decided to go here with a friend today for a mani/pedi. We sat down and the lady working on me was nice but felt like I got an express mani/pedi. I was going to do gel/shellac but after the pedicure I decided I didn't want to spend the extra money here. I have a broken nail and originally she just put glue on it and said it won't last long so I mentioned the other place puts a powder and it makes it last until my next pedi. There was no proper filing/shaping and cleaning with the pedi and when I got home and put my hands in warm water I could feel all the places she cut my cuticles down a little too much. read more

Just because yelp won't do zero stars. This my second time coming in. One time about 1.5 years ago. And I thought maybe I should try them out one more time to set a review. Guess what?? I was highly upset the the place. First I had an appt at 10 for a pink and white set and a pedicure. And my sister decided to come with me. I thought this wasn't a problem because they were freshly open. And there wasn't any clients. The girl there was highly stressed about the us coming in and didn't even remember what services I called about for my appointment. A lady that doesn't really do full sets did my sister's nail and the other ladies were making remarks about hey you better do do and do it right in Vietnamese. She left with black lining in her nails. Now I felt very uncomfortable and not confident with the service. I wasn't sure if I was mad and angry about the workers gossip and shit talking or about my service. OMG the biggest shit talkers of all time. They were talking about this girls nails so bad I wanted to punch the lady. I was enraged. I WILL NEVER COME BACK. I told the boss lady she needs to check her workers. And left. NO TIP at all read more

Place is very clean, they opened a week ago, they serve tea and biscuit when you walk in while you wait, not that long of a wait, and they do a good job on taking off my gel nails. Will come here again . :) Also relaxing environment & affordable prices. They do waxing here too. I'll try it out next week . read more

iNailspa - Drying off my toes from my lovely pedicure ;) - Nail Salons Near Me - Alameda, California

I've been here about 4 times and honestly, this place is ok. The first time I went there, I loved how my nails and toes looked and regret not asking for technicians names. The last couple times I was there, for some reason, my gel mani was not long lasting, 1 week tops if I was lucky. Not sure why, are they using cheap product? Positives about this place: There's Parking Clean Place is big Massages are bomb Lastly, everyone brags so much positive words about technician Nhi and I completely disagree. My problem with her is she has an attitude and doesn't converse with me. What did I do to her you ask..? Absolutely nothing! That's why I didn't tipped that bitch the last time I was there. read more

I called same day to see if they had availability and they were able to fit me in. They have a huge selection of gels and polishes. I was highly impressed with their customer service. They made sure everything was right for me without saying "is this okay?" a million times. I will definitely go here again for my regular mani pedi. It's too bad they don't have better reviews I had an excellent experience read more

I come here once every 2 weeks for my mani and pedi. They know me well and take care of my gel pedi and mani. Recently I made the change to try out acrylics. The last two times I have came in for a fill they have given me a new person to do my nails. let me just say.... these people do not know what they Are doing wIth acrylics. You tell them one thing and they don't listen. I show theM clear pictures and they do the opposite. Today's set will be the last, I'm sad to part ways bc I like the friendly low key atmosphere here but it's necessary, IF YOU WANT ACRYLICS THIS IS NOT THE PLACE. they should not be working on nails if they don't want to listen to the customer. Below is a picture oF what I asked vs what I got read more

Amazing experience! 10/10Came to get a pedicure with my mom for a cruise we were going on, they kept giving us the sweetest compliments and serving us drinks and made our feet feel so good.

Will be coming back. Friendly, clean nail salon. read more

Arghhhh. 2nd time I went in to get a color change. Yes I had gel they charged me $25. They asked me to come in at 4:30pm. I walked in 4 people were working 2 customers and a manicurist was working on 2 employees. They had me wait for 15 mins while the 2 employees were getting their nails done. Are you kidding me? Then the male manicurist finally gets to me. Very polite but his work was extremely sloppy. He filed my nails, sloppy buffer. Painted my nails but very sloppy. I had bumps from when he filed it. This shop is dirty. The Gel dryer was dirty had all kinds of nail polish. Gross. I was really disappointed because the 1st time I was there the service was great. This time around I actually paid attention to how filthy it was. This is why it is never full. Never again read more

iNail Spa is a great affordable spot to get your nails done in Alameda. And best of all, it's clean! I visited a few nail salons in Alameda and this is definitely one of the cleanest ones. $25 for a gel manicure is great and they have a large selection of colors you can choose from. I'm glad I found a spa that I can visit more often! read more

It was over priced and they couldn't even do a simple design. The workers were rude and rushing me. The bowl for my pedicure was filthy and rusty. I was not very happy with the "design" they gave me. The workers couldn't understand me at all,they made feel very uncomfortable and I didn't feel welcome. They were burning some terrible smelling plant that intoxicated me. It's also very bad for pregnant women (they don't think any pregnant woman would go inside?) I don't feel like they did a very good job for the price they charged. I would not recommend going here read more

Best nail salon in Alameda! They did a beautiful job on my gel mani and pedi! And their color selection is extensive. And, they have parking!! I mistakenly put shoes on too soon and completely ruined two of my nails. I had to go back the next day and they happily fixed them! I'm surprised by the recent negative reviews because all the ladies I worked with were so friendly and accommodating! I'll definitely be back! This is my new spot! Thank you Dao for making my nails beautiful again!!! read more

So this place is hella inconsistent. Some days they are really good and others very bad. Today one of the older ladies literally cut my finger hard while she was trying to clip my nails and as it was bleeding, she continues to keep going after she apologizes and tries to stop the bleeding. Besides it hurting and the bleeding didn't fully stop, she continued as if nothing had happened. That is super unsanitary. What if I had HIV and my blood could be transferred to other people who use the same products she used on me?! Luckily I don't but that just really grosses me out and I don't really want to come back even though this is my go to place. I'd rather do my nails at home, so I don't risk getting an infection or worse. read more

I came in needing a fill. My previous acrylics were way too thick and uneven (done at a different store). I should've just gotten a whole new full set but that was going to take longer than a fill. My nails were so bad, the lady (wish I got her name) took about an hour just to file everything to how it should be. She did an AMAZING job though. Then I was running late for work, I didn't think that it would take this long for a fill. So I kept rushing her but she still did a wonderful job. I ended up paying $30 for a gel fill. And this was still cheaper than the previous one I did which turned out really bad. Without a doubt will be coming back. read more

I really did not want to leave a 1 star review after reading all the good reviews . Came in here with my mom to do our Pedi & mani, I had a full set . We ask can we get our toes And full set done at the same time so we won't have to wait as long but they didn't let us do that. My mom was left waiting for me to be finish like 1 hr . I just didn't understand why we could not get our toes done the same time while I'm getting a full set ! But WARRING this was the most painful experience I ever had at a nail salon . The nail tech cut my fingers like repeatedly. I told him like 5x hey your cutting me . he was just so rough ! He even did my toes after and cut my toes . He did not even finish my full set and jump on to doing my pedi after and some other lady came to paint my nails did a horrible job ... paint all over my skin and painting was uneven Never coming back . Worst place ever . Customer service was wack . read more

Went in last week for a gel mani and regular pedi, made a same day appointment (Saturday afternoon). I forgot to ask for their names but the guy did my mani and he was super quick but did an amazing job! One of the younger ladies did my pedi, she did a great job too. Very friendly staff. However, there were some rude customers. Had to bite my tongue. The staff handled the situation professionally. They also have a wide variety of colors to choose from! Definitely will be back in two weeks! read more

I told them that I called that same morning and I was told they were closing at 7 pm, the women just said "no" and looked away.

This use to be a wonderful nail salon. Long story short. I went in for a fill with Nhi, it was noticeable that she had an attitude. During the drying process she would allow the UV light to cycle once touch the nail saw it wasn't dry apply more polish and repeat the process. Now in the past she would allow the UV light to cycle twice before checking. It was clear she was ready for me to leave. The next day in the shower my jewels came off my nails. When I called Nhi to advise the attitude was noticeable and showed in her work because my jewels came off. She told me if I didn't like her work not to come to her anymore. They use good polish and products. However, their customer service is bad and it needs to be improved. This is one of the best nail salons hands down. I started coming in December to get a one time glitzy nail job for my birthday ( I was referred by a cousin) It is now April and I've been coming ever since. They are really attentive and use quality products. A fill will last more then two weeks. I've had my nails done by four different techs never dissatisfied. read more

I was a loyal customer for about 10 months. However, they do not value customer loyalty at all. They kept messing up my acrylic nails to the point where I'd have to go back in 2-3 days, after having them done, so that they could fix them. After having the same problem, for the third time, I have decided to stop going to them. You would think that they'd maintain quality work for a loyal customer, however the quality of their work just kept getting worse and worse. I'll be giving my money to another business from now on. read more
