    Beautifully done!  Thank you so much! I will be back~

    I just got my nails done by Christina. She has amazing skills. She is super friendly. Great vibes. Relaxing place. I believe it is by appointment only. No pedicures. Which is fine by me. She uses brand new nail files for everyone! All organic products which is great for your nails. It is tricky to find, it is inside Sole Salon. Many little offices inside. I will definitely be back. Thank you again!

    Get yourself an appointment with Christina, you will not regret it!!

    My nailz are poppin', PeriodT! Let's start with the beginning, booking your appointment is easy as 1,2,3 and the confirmation is quick! Walked into her suite (which is easy to find) and you get a warm hello! Her shop is soooo cute! 90's vibes, color and a few of her specialities. The shop is sooooo her bright and colorful. She is an artist! I told her I wanted 49ers colors with foam. And she took that and created magic. I will def be back for my DABULOUS experience!

    Christina has done my nails for over two years now. I have been following her from her last studio in Oakland now to her own independent studio in El Cerrito. I really can't say enough nice things about her, the quality of her work, and the why I would and do recommend her endlessly. Whatever you are looking for she will deliver and beyond your wildest expectations when you really want that over the top look. I get compliments all the time, everywhere I go. Follow her Instagram for more amazing ideas: @dabulous_nailz

    I'm in LOVE!

    LET ME TELL YOU! My nails, before coming to Christina, I was a creature of habit and went to the same nail salon for 3 years. I always walked out with mediocre results, and just recently, an allergic reaction. My gel nails that I just got Saturday chipped today, and I thought enough was enough. I looked for other nail places, and found Dabulous Nailz, and HOLY MOSES, I'm so happy I did! First off, her little salon is absolutely adorable, and I immediately felt comfortable right when I walked in. I told her the issues I've had in the past with my nails, and she listened and gave me feedback and told me things about my nails that I never even knew. She was so gentle, and the products she used made me walk out with my nails and cuticles feeling better than ever. Her designs are amazing, and she's such a great person to vibe with. DEFINITELY recommend her, and I will be DEFINITELY a regular.

    She's the best nail tech I've ever had. I travel from Brentwood to El Cerrito twice a month to get my nails done. My nails are healthy and LONG. She's the only person I could find that takes the time and the effort to care for my nails so they grow. My only complaint is she's so talented I never know what to have her do ***UPDATE*** I didn't enjoy my last set as much as the others. I would change my review to a 3.5. When I booked my appointment on Instagram I asked for a full set. When I arrived for my appointment I asked if she would take off the gel and give me a fresh set of nails. she said she would what my nails needed. She gave me a fill instead. I still think she's wonderful, but this set was lumpy and the chrome is already lifting (I got my nails done on Wednesday, it's Friday). There are parts on my nails that aren't even coloured. I would've appreciated the service I asked for. Still better than a chop shop, but this set wasn't worth what I paid for. ***UPDATE*** I was contacted yesterday by Dabulous Nailz asking to remove a photo from my review. I told her no, and she's messaged me repeatedly asking me to remove the photo from my review. She stated that I should remove it because "all the other reviews are the same." I've never witnessed a professional acting this way. Finally after repeatedly saying I will not remove or change my review she left me alone. She even told me that all the reviews had been taken down so I should take mine down. She did everything from tell me how I should've reviewed her, to asking me to remove a photo of my nails from my IG. I didn't realise that when I started getting my nails done she would have the right to make my decisions for me. She's talented, but that doesn't make up for treating your customers like crap. Good customer service would've made this an easy solve. She never once asked what she could do to make things better, never once offered a solution. ***UPDATE*** I asked for a refund and have yet to hear back from her. I've contacted Yelp and the BBB for a resolution.

    I have been getting my nails done every two weeks for almost three years, and I still feel lucky…read morethat I found Trinh on my very first try after moving to the area. Her work is consistently amazing. I love fun, creative nails and usually come in with inspiration photos. Every single time, Trinh delivers!! My nails always turn out better than I imagined. Sanitation is a big deal to me. I had a hard time finding a salon in my last neighborhood that followed proper sanitary procedures, and this place was such a relief. They clearly take sanitation seriously, and I always feel comfortable coming here. I have also had great pedicure experiences, and the barber and hair side of the salon is impressive to watch. Fast, precise, and everyone leaves looking great. Writing this review feels risky because I want to keep my appointments, but this salon deserves the love!! If you want beautiful nails and a place that does things right, this is it!!!

    I called Style Nails on the day of for a last minute appointment, and they were able to get me in…read moreat 5pm. That said, expect to be "squeezed in," cause I had to wait about 30-40 mins after arriving to actually be seen. But, still appreciated them taking me. I came in for a gel manicure on my natural nails, but 1 finger was chipped. I asked if they could do a single extension, they recommended to use builder gel instead. At first, it looked fine, but after it cured, it was noticeably thick and not shaped very well. As a result this one fell off after a week. I also tried to point out that the shaping on my nails looked inconsistent from one finger to the next. The technician told me it was just because my finger widths are different & it's impossible to make them look the same. I understand that natural nails are harder to make uniform (compared to extensions), but I was disappointed with the lack of effort. The gel manicure itself was okay. I got a pink color with chrome powder, it lasted about two weeks. Overall, for around $50, I feel like you get what you pay for. It wasn't a terrible experience, but the attention to detail, especially with the shaping and the builder gel, was lacking. The service was friendly though, and you get a stamp card for every visit.

Now cleanliness - shop is clean the bathroom is clean and the shop always smells good. If you have an appt you never have to wait and if you do it's not long . The option of designs are limitless and they do short or long I like that she didn't try to convince me to get long nails like I have had some shops do , and I hate that. Fong respected my request and did so good with my short nails now that I have let grow out I'm gonna keep the lol 10 out 10 recommend

There were two women in the shop and the younger one seemed to have an attitude. If I even took a few seconds longer than she'd me like to while making a decision she would sigh or get annoyed. Things were going well with my nails until someone came in and the woman doing my nails started to rush the process. The job is no where near the quality I'm used to when coming here years ago. After the younger lady was done with my nails I didn't really like the color either but that was on me, not her. And never did I ask for a change, just simply stated I made a bad decision. But that seemed to annoy her as well as she sighed super loud, got up then started talking about me in her language and started laughing , and completely became dismissive because I mentioned the color ,not even her work. I even asked her to do my cuticles and she did the most rushed job I ever seen. The cuticles made me hate my nails even more.
