Nails by Jen for every mood!
Sheila S.

This is a long time coming. K&D nails is so great! They are excellent at what they do, clean, and kind people. Jen always comes through with my nail art, and she does an amazing job. My nails LAST too.

Best nail shop I've been to! My friend and I showed up with pictures we both showed our nail tech and they nailed it! Such good job and super nice people! My first time here and I'll definitely be back!

Finished nails

I called at 11am on a Tuesday on the off chance I could get a full set done before leaving for a wedding on Friday. The receptionist was incredibly accommodating and said they could see me then, so I came in and was seated right away ! Everything inside was clean and organized, and the music was a nice, peaceful touch. My nail tech was lovely, as was the ambiance of the shop. I regret that I didn't get a chance to ask for the technician's name because she truly deserves all the praise. I showed a picture of what I was looking to get and it was like the final result was copy/pasted from my phone ! My nail tech recommended Gel X tips based on the style I wanted to get and I'm so happy I said yes. These nails look more natural, feel more secure, and I absolutely love the end result ! Wonderful work, amazing staff, and an overall terrific experience. I'll definitely be returning in the future !

Princess pedicure

My daughter had a few of her friends to celebrate her birthday with Princess Mani & Pedi. They had a blast being pampered by Yen & her team. Salon is clean with simple but elegant decor, relaxing atmosphere.

A big thank you to the amazing ladies at KD Nails! They were incredibly attentive and patient with my loved one who has dementia. The team was so accommodating, allowing her to enjoy her music and sing while we were doing her nails.

Nice design and a nice work done

Nice design &nice work done . CBD pedicure nice job too.I think every one to come to try at K&D Nails salon for the best one.

Clear layer peeling off powder dip nails
Alex V.

Very nice staff and clean nail salon. I was a walk in and they sat me when a chair was open. Happy they took me in without an appointment. I had a pedi and a mani. The reason for the 3 stars is that the staff was great, however 2 days later the dip manicure I had started to peel off a clear layer. I was not around any chemicals or anything that would cause this. I had my nails done for a wedding that I was a bridesmaid and sad to see it peel off by the 2nd day. The wedding was out of town so I was unable to see what the salon recommends or could fix.

Acrylic manicure with nail art
Jessica M.

Yen is great! Every time I come in for a manicure and a picture of what I want, she nails it! (sorry for the accidental pun) It's a clean and nice salon and everyone there is very helpful and friendly. I've also gotten great pedicures there, but the nail art by Yen is the stand-out.

What I asked for :(

Went to try a new place and saw the reviews were great! They took me very quickly as I called ahead which was very helpful! I got an acrylic set and already had one on that needed to be taken off. My nail tech took off my set a little aggressive and unfortunately cut up a few places around my nail bed. When doing my actual nails I provided a picture and what I got did not resemble what I asked for. My nails are unfortunately very chunky, bumpy, and thick. I tried to like them, and my nail tech was very nice and reassuring, but they're sloppy and my least favorite set I've ever got. The ambiance and service is very nice, but I was highly disappointed by the quality of work. Unfortunately I will not be back to K&D.

One week after manicure and they still look great! Don't worry, not my real ring!
Elizabeth L.

I really like this salon a lot. I've only been twice so far, but their prices are reasonable and the staff is so friendly. They remembered me somehow even though it was only my second time, which just shows they care a lot about their customers. I haven't had any problems with nails chipping or polish coming off which is a huge plus. The reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 is simply because the salon itself is a little old and outdated. They do, however, seem to pay attention to cleanliness with the plastic wraps in the pedicure bowls and such. Another perk is it's pretty close to home, and I can usually call ahead or walk in with no problem. Will definitely be back!

Absolutely love this shop, Builder Gel by YEN, and toes done by BELLA. Both flawless work thanks you guys

All set's by Tee! I've been going to her for over a year now, and I honestly won't go to anyone…read moreelse. She always listens to exactly what I want and somehow makes every set even better than I pictured. She's such a perfectionist and really takes her time to make sure everything is perfect! I recently switched to builder gel for the first time, and I'm officially hooked! If Tee is ever out, Ni is my go-to. You really can't go wrong here though everyone is so talented and does an amazing job. Highly recommend!

I came to Royal Nails Spa on August 6, 2026, after dropping my dog off at the vet. I had been…read moredealing with stressful vet appointments and wanted to treat myself to something nice. Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed with the quality of the services I received. It has taken me a while to write this review because I was busy caring for my dog, who sadly has since passed away. I made my appointment online and they were able to get me in right away. The salon itself is beautiful and has a high-end appearance, and the receptionist was friendly. Unfortunately, the quality of my services did not match the appearance or the prices. I received a Gel-X new set for $110 and a gel pedicure for $82. With the cash discount, I paid $183 before tip and over $200 total after tipping. The appointment also became uncomfortable because I repeatedly heard things like "that's extra," "this color is extra," and "that costs extra." I appreciate being informed about additional charges beforehand, but hearing it repeatedly made the experience feel more focused on upselling and money than providing a relaxing, high-quality service. For the premium prices being charged, I expected premium-quality work. Unfortunately, the problems started almost immediately. My appointment was August 6. I am attaching a photo taken August 7 at 7:11 PM, literally the next day, showing that the gel polish on my pedicure had already chipped/come off. An $82 gel pedicure should not be chipping one day after the service. I also needed acrylic sculpted onto a toenail I had previously lost. The pedicure technician seemed unsure how to do it and brought over acrylic nail tips. The technician doing my manicure actually had to stop working on my hands, tell the other technician no, and take over doing the acrylic on my toenail herself. Then my Gel-X manicure started lifting and the nails began popping off. My second photo is dated August 14 at 7:02 AM, only eight days after my appointment, and shows the lifting/separation. The Gel-X application was also messy underneath my nails, with excess product globbed up on the undersides. In my opinion, the extensions did not appear to have been properly sized or applied. After spending over $200 including tip, having my $82 gel pedicure chip the very next day and my $110 Gel-X manicure begin lifting and coming apart within days was incredibly disappointing. Maybe I happened to get inexperienced technicians that day -- I can't say. But based on my experience, I personally would not return. At this point, I am not interested in returning to have the services redone. I would simply like my money refunded. I don't feel comfortable giving the salon another opportunity to work on my nails after this experience. This was supposed to be a small moment of self-care during an incredibly difficult time while I was dealing with my dog's health. Instead, I spent over $200 on nails that began falling apart almost immediately. A beautiful, high-end-looking salon doesn't make up for poor-quality work. For the prices being charged here, I expected the quality and longevity of the services to match. Unfortunately, in my experience, they did not. The dated photos I'm attaching were taken August 7 and August 14 following my August 6 appointment. I think the timeline and photos speak for themselves.

Such a great first experience at Oasis! I asked for very light pink acrylics, medium length,…read moresquare shape, and something neutral enough for work with an emphasis on clean structure and shape. My nail tech did an amazing job -- the shape, thickness, and overall finish were exactly what I wanted. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, the salon was bright, clean, and comfortable, and I loved the thoughtful extras like the purse hook, phone stand, and drinks. I arrived a little late after work, and they were still incredibly accommodating and never made me feel rushed, even though my appointment went past closing. I left SO happy and will absolutely be back!

Unfortunately I won't be back. I was seeing Anthony for months prior to visiting yesterday and…read morebeing informed that he no longer worked there. With that in mind, I hesitated at setting up an appointment to fix a broken nail with someone new, but needed a fix asap. My pedicure was great-- the technician was detail oriented and continuously asked me for feedback and preferences throughout my service. Unfortunately, my manicure (the primary reason I came, since my nail was broken) was not so great. My nail was cracked on the side, and I suggested just cutting the whole nail and attaching a tip. The technician assured me that builder gel would fix it, and though I didn't agree, I assumed he knew better. The service overall was rushed. The crack in my nail reappeared as soon as I got home, and I noticed how sloppy my french polish was applied. Upon noticing, I called in right away to make an appointment to fix everything the following morning. Today I came in to have the nails fixed, and once again the service was rushed. To fix the broken nail, he added a tip and cut it without first confirming the length. I pointed out that it was shorter than the other nails, but if course, there was nothing that could be done at that point without completely restarting. I let it go, just wanting to be done with the service. He added builder gel and I could tell it was sloppily applied but just let it be. After filling and shaping, the side of the nail was completely filed down and the nail was awkwardly shaped. I pointed it out and he told me someone else would fix it, because apparently someone else was waiting on him, despite me making an appointment ahead of time. I just got up and said I would go somewhere else to fix everything. No one apologized or tried to rectify the situation. I just walked out. Edit: In direct reply to the business owner's response below: In no way was I trying to imply that I was misled into coming into the shop without knowing Anthony left. As I said, I hesitated at first, but made the decision on my own to come in anyway because my nail was broken and I had only been going to this shop for months. I was NOT expecting Anthony or his exact service when I came in. I'd like to erase this narrative that somehow I expected Anthony's service and communication style during this specific service. Based on my original review, I never once implied that. I only expected the technician to 1. Fix my broken nail and 2. Do clean work on my nails. Neither of those objectives were met. I am extremely disappointed in the shift of blame, as if I ever said that I needed someone to spend hours on my nails in order for the service to be deemed "good". In fact, it's one of the things I least liked about getting my nails done with Anthony! He was not fast, but at the very least I was happy with the way my nails looked. It's hilarious to think any woman would PREFER to spend "several" hours in a nail salon give me a break. It's funny how its being portrayed as if I have such impossibly high standards for my nails as if the service was not objectively sloppy (see pictures) !! You "didnt have a chance to recify the situation", but after I pointed out that the nail shape was messed up and told to go to another chair for someone else to fix it, I said out of my mouth "you know what, its fine I'll go somewhere else to have it fixed" I gathered all of my things and no one said anything. After said I would leave, no one said ANYTHING. Everyone moved on, which is fine! But don't make it seem like I just stormed out out of nowhere and no one knew what was going on. No one cared! Shout out to Tammy at D'Luxe nails on Las Positas who was able to see me shortly after leaving the shop and did a fantastic job fixing my nails and giving me a new fresh set (in less than an hour )
