Lan was my nail tech, and I highly recommend her! She was very attentive and listened to what I wanted for my nails (file only a little, even shape, and one coat of gel for a natural finish). Her technique was also great -- I have no cuts or burns from the cuticle clipper or file.. and my gel is very evenly applied!

I got a gel manicure and a regular pedicure. I was asked to pick my color and their were so many options. I like lighter soft shades and to my surprise they had a lot of choice for that. This is the first place where I was taking my time and having a dilemma on what to choose so that was very refreshing. Two technicians did my fingers and toes simultaneously. They also got the massager turned on on my chairs. They did the usual cleaning, nail cutting, filling, pushing the cuticle and all of that. The bonus was they gave me a leg, neck and shoulder massage. The price was very reasonable. They do take a card but I did tip in cash. It's a small place so I recommend calling before going in. You might have a short wait sometimes. They also do designs and they are good at them. I will definitely coming back!

They do a great job, and I have been coming here for quite a while, but unfortunately, my most…read morerecent experience was extremely disappointing. My friends and I arrived before multiple other groups, yet our service repeatedly seemed to be placed on the back burner. Clients who arrived well after us were serviced before us and even received apologies for their wait, while we received no acknowledgment or explanation. What was especially upsetting was watching other women have multiple technicians working on them while we continued to wait. Some clients who arrived nearly two hours after us were finished and left before we did. While my nails ultimately looked great, the way we were treated made the experience incredibly uncomfortable. Given the clear difference in how we were treated compared with other clients, I genuinely believe race played a role. As someone who has been a returning customer, it is very unfortunate to leave feeling this way, but I will not be coming back.

Five stars for being open on a Sunday. Five stars for very…read morelittle wait time. Five stars for Michelle communicating with me by calling me back as a walk-in Five stars for Cindy who did my nails. She was careful and very handy with her drill bits. She filed my nails without hurting my skin or slicing my side cuticles. They look natural and beautiful Five stars for giving me my desired look on the Glass Nails using the magnet. She did such a good job that the walk-in customer to my left wanted the exact same nails. Five stars for location. Walking distance from Jack London Square, Chinatown is less then 2 miles away. This place is an old building and its two stories. Upstairs they offer lashes and facial. Downstairs is the nail shop with three booths and three pedicure chairs. Now when I got there at noon, no one was there. After being there for 10 minutes, four customers came in for mani, pedis, fills, and lashes. It's just the Vibe i bring i guess LOL. Lots of polish choices to choose from. It was unusually warm today in Oakland but Cindy was perceptive and turned on the fan for me to blow in my face. There you go Cindy, give me the Beyonce treatment. :) Wow, I've been to Oakland so many times already this year, should I come to Oakland just to get my nails done? Now that would be some bragging rights right there. LOL I'm grateful that they were open, I broke two nails while loading my bags on the train and i couldn't go to dinner uneven, two broken nails would have not gone with the Look. I didn't get a chance to ask if they had any social media pages. Looks like I have to get that info next time. Good job ladies See you some more on Yelp 2026

I'm usually not one to switch nail salons, but I had to get my nails done with a friend closer to…read moreher workplace. I was apprehensive at first, but I was pleasantly surprised! This was my first time getting GelX nails instead of acrylics. This salon doesn't do acrylics at all, so I didn't really have a choice. GelX is supposed to be healthier for your nails anyway, and I didn't notice much of a difference in quality. They had a huge selection of colors and powders. I asked for just a plain set with chrome powder on top, and they delivered! The service was also very good. I initially made an appointment with 2 other friends, but it was in the evening and there were only 2 nail technicians there, so my friends got their manicures before me. Even though it was past closing time, Cindy still offered to stay late to accommodate me. I had other plans though, so I offered to return in the morning, and she let me set up another appointment that worked with my schedule. Overall, I'm very happy with the service and with my nails!!

I wanted a regular nail tech who knows what she's doing; not timid with application or cleaning up cuticles, asks and checks in with you as you go, makes sure it's what you want, knowledgeable about color choices. And I also wanted somewhere in Oakland to support local. I finally found this place and the whole place is a lovely vibe! Right in the heart of Downtown, these ladies know how to run business here in Oakland and make you feel safe. So many regulars come in which means you know they'll treat you well and they have hospitality down in comparison to other shops I've been to. I bring my 15yr old daughter here sometimes. Q is my girl! She does quality work consistently! And I'm so glad to be her regular. They're all good nails techs. And A LOT of folks come in for eyebrows! I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a genuine Town vibes nail shop!
