This is one of the closest nail salons to me. So it is convenient. I only really go here for pedicures since I do hard gel or sculpted extensions elsewhere. 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. read more

I booked appointments for both myself and my friend well in advance because we wanted to avoid a long wait. Unfortunately, we still ended up waiting almost two hours, which completely defeated the purpose of making an appointment. I paid $80 for a pedicure, but it was very disappointing. There was no massage or the level of service I expected for that price. When they started my friend's manicure , the technician was very rude to her, which made the experience even more unpleasant. The biggest surprise came when, after all that waiting, a staff member told me they couldn't do my manicure because there were too many customers waiting. I had specifically booked an appointment, so I don't understand why my reserved time wasn't honored. Overall, the service was unprofessional, poorly organized, and not worth the money. If appointments are required, they should be respected. This experience was extremely disappointing, and I would not recommend this salon based on how we were treated. read more

Went to this yesterday. Pedicure gel polish cost me 70$ without tip. Lady was fast and did a good job however the pricing of the service doesn't not match on their list. When I booked the appt online it said 52$ On their menu of prices at the salon i asked for the cheapest pedicure which was 55$ it's was their signature. Of course, their is a language barrier so Please before you get your service confirm the prices. They may automatically add tip to total amount. I will go there again because the massage chair is nice, however I didn't care for the strong chemical odor kinda gave a me a headache. read more

Amazing customer service! Tracy did such a great job doing my nails and was very accommodating to also have my friend get her manicure done at the same time to make sure we would get our nails done together. My friend recommended her as I also live in the city and would definitely drive back again. Excited to get more complex designs for my next visit! read more

UPDATE: 9 days after getting my nails done here I had vertical cracks along my pointer nail and one on my big toenail. 9 FULL DAYS was how long my nails lasted. Im not hard on my nails, I don't have them in water excessively. There's no reason why this happened other than poor quality service. I was out of town so had to find a nail shop while away to fix the nails. I will not return to this establishment. read more

Wow, I think i just got the best pedicure ever! The polish is perfect. I never thought gel pedi are was worth the extra price. I was wrong! Its so shiny, dries instantly, last for weeks. Today I splurged and paid extra for a chrome top. It make the polish iridescent! A picture does not do this justice for how gorgeous my nails are! Nancy is a gem, perfect pedicure and massaged my tired feet and legs. She took the time to make me feel special and pampered. read more

Came here due to my regular nail tech being out of town and i desperately needed an appointment. I got my nails done by Janelle (gel -x) and gel pedicure. The salon is gorgeous and sterile. She was very nice. She did a pretty good job, however she tore my cuticles up! My cuticles are all cut and sore. When she was doing them I noticed a lot of bleeding. I got my nails done Friday 2/13 and I'm writing this review 2/18 and I'm still extremely sore. My fingers are still so tender to touch. I'm hesitant on going back. Otherwise pretty good work and nice service I just wish she would have not cut all of my cuticles as bad on all of my fingers. I tried to insert photos to show but the camera doesn't do a good job of picking that up. read more

I've been here twice, and I have been very happy and impressed with how my nails look after getting a manicure at K-Lux. Giving 5 stars overall for the finished, end result, even though service was better the first time than the second time. On my first visit I came in for a full set, and they suggested Gel X Extensions, which I got for the first time. Nancy did an amazing job with my Gel X Extensions. She was friendly, efficient, and had great attention to detail. My red French design with a gold line looked beautiful! I came back 3 weeks later for a fill. Despite it being a fill, it took twice as long and two people worked on my nails. The person working on my fill was very distracted and kept answering calls, making calls, and attending to people walking in while working on my nails. Luckily I didn't have any plans right after my appointment, and the end result of the fill looked great, but I wish it had gone a bit faster. This was my manicure for my wedding, so as long as it looked perfect that's all that mattered to me ultimately. I was passed on to Kevin for my nail art and I was happy with his work. I got a French manicure with a silver line, and it looked very pretty! I love the vibe of this place. It has a nice clean aesthetic and they had cute decorations for Valentine's Day. They offer you water bottles during service and they have snacks in the waiting area. I recommend making an appointment. Parking is easy in the garage. read more

I made an appointment for 1500 on a weekday. (I could only imagine if it was on a weekend) I got there right on time. I was asked to check in on their iPad. I was patiently waiting for 30min. I was not given an estimate of how much longer I had to wait. I went up to the receptionist and asked how much longer I had to wait. They said it wouldn't be much longer. Five minutes went by and was asked to sit at the nail techs station. Still waiting, ten minutes went by and that's when I decided to get up and leave. The fact that they were not considerate of my time and also not being acknowledged was disrespectful. I decided that these people did not deserve my money and my time! Quick tip if you make customers make an appointment online please be considerate and respectful of their time. Terrible customer service! Acknowledge your customers and communicate with them read more

Service was amazing ! Didn't get all staff names however they were all very sweet. Shoutout to Anna ! She serviced me both pedi and mani and did an excellent job. She ensured I was comfortable and took her time rather than a rush job. She was so sweet and gentle enough for my liking. Decor was everything ! Parking is accessible, in the front but you can also park in the free parking garage. Want a full day out ? There's food / shopping and move theater all in the same block! Pricing is reasonable as well. Appointment or walk in ? Walk-ins are acceptable I noticed however appointment seems more sufficient for this location. It's been a few weeks since I went and my nails are still doing well . read more

You NEED to patronize this business if you do gel-x, BIAB, or just gel nails. ESPECIALLY Janelle! I drive all the way from Berkeley just to get my nails done here. They're one of the few nail salons that openly tells you they do gel-x fills, and doesn't pretend they can't fill gel-x even though they do BIAB. I refuse to have my nails reduced to painful sheets of paper because a salon wants to refile the entirety of my nail beds every time I want to change my manicure! Just, NO. Honest salons like K-Lux should be the standard. Janelle's gel-x sets have lasted me longer than a month, no lifting, whereas every other nail tech I've tried anywhere has my gel-x lifting before 2 weeks is even up. If you were about to give up on gel-x, try Janelle before you do! Even though her sets are long-lasting, I'm pretty much dedicated to going every 2 weeks for a fill when I can find the time! Plus they have every single chrome, glitter, crystal, and color you could ever want. It's NOT just what's on the shelves, the swatch decks, the boards, and books. They have drawers full of stuff you don't see. If you have a color you want and you don't see it, just show them! Glass cat eye? They have it. Glitter cat eye? Yup. Airbrush nails? Yes please. 3D designs? Uh-huh. With the selection of accoutrements I haaaaave seen, I wouldn't doubt they also have things like jelly polish, Mylar, flowers, and nail charms. Don't be afraid to ask! Did I mention they stay open til 7PM!!! on weekdays??? Um, yes!!! Just one star off because although they do acrylic, I'm not sure if their removal is soak-off and e-file, or ripping the nail off your bed like most salons, but I'm pretty sure if you asked them to do a soak-off and e-file removal, they would honor that if you preschedule, or they have the time on a walk in. But those are just the vibes I get. I could be wrong. Again, it never hurts to ask. It's a clean, chic salon with a good vibe, and it always smells nice in there. They're accommodating as long as you communicate with them. Try them out. PS. They're gentle with their e-files LOL vital information. read more

I came in here for the first time specifically for Kevin and the amount of amazing reviews he has. First of all, the aesthetic of the salon is beautiful & clean -- by far the best salon I have ever been to. I wanted a specific design for my nails to match an event that I'll be attending to soon, & my god Kevin delivered with recreating what I wanted. Kevin was busy taking calls and servicing other customers that came in for their appointments but was still attentive in every detail during my nail appointment. He's also so kind and thoughtful with recommending what he thinks would be best for you too. Moreover, all the staff at the salon were so nice and helpful across the board too. I highly recommend anyone to come here to get their manis/pedis done, & best believe I will be coming back here to do my nails again with Kevin. read more

K-Lux nails is a great nail salon with reasonable prices. I've gotten my nails done here three times now and I've never been disappointed. They are very careful and delicate with shaping and buffing your nails, and have a lot of options for whatever design you want. They do great builder gel here, just got a set done with Anna and it was great! read more

I have been coming here since their soft open. The owners are one of a kind in service, experience and luxury. in my personal opinion you get more than what you pay for. The ambiance is gorgeous, with every detail attended to. They decorate for all seasons, and I do love that little touch. It is all so tastefully done. all of the techs are polite and knowledgeable, accommodating and technically superior. most of all, this is the one thing I do for my self care. and they absolutely take care of you. there are some days I don't even know what I want. and after making 1 million decisions in a day, they always do me right. my manicures and sets get compliments daily, and my pedicures are always done right (and I'm a dancer so my feet are atrocious!) I couldn't recommend k-lux more! I even followed them out here (a 25 minute drive with no traffic) they're worth it!!!! read more

K-Lux has been my go-to spot - they always do a great and long-lasting job and expertly handle all the fun design ideas I come with. I love the bright and open ambience in the salon. They also have a lot of stations and I've been able to bring my friends in to get our nails done together. The parking is easy in downtown Pleasant Hill with a garage nearby. read more

A clean nail salon with a great variety of colors, cat eye and chrome add-ons, pedi "spa" choices, and very nice staff. Would highly recommend over a lot of other unclean feeling places. I chose the coffee scrub pedicure which included a paraffin wax. My feet looked and felt so good afterwards. Will definitely be back! read more

got my nails done here recently. I had an appointment but still ended up waiting a bit, which wasn't a huge deal. I'll be honest--this just wasn't quite what I was looking for. I came in for builder gel nails, and I was expecting the more traditional painted-on builder gel. Instead, the tech used a squeeze-tube method that went on very thick, which I personally didn't love. There also wasn't much cuticle cleanup, and unfortunately my nails chipped after just a couple of days. That said, there are positives. The service was friendly, the color selection was really cute, and the price was very affordable. I usually pay $100+ at my regular salon, and this was only around $60, which is a big difference. I think this place really comes down to what you're looking for. If you want something quick, affordable, and decent-looking, this is a solid option--the whole appointment only took about 30 minutes. If you're someone who prefers a very meticulous, detail-oriented nail service (my usual salon takes 1.5 hours and is extremely thorough), this might not be the best fit. Overall, it just wasn't for me personally, but I can definitely see it working well for others--especially if you're not as picky as I am. read more

I have been coming to K-Lux off and on since they opened and have been getting progressively worse sets every time. This will be my last time going. I was cut a tremendous amount of times, both at the cuticle as well as my actual finger. The nail tech was bending my finger in the wrong direction and informed her it was hurting and I could not bend that way, to which she told me "just relax so you can loosen up to bend". I asked for square-square nails and she proceeded to give me coffin and be upset when I said these are not square. She placed too small of tips on my nails, and then cut off my actual nail to make it look fully done. I am very disappointed in the quality. My friend with me had a similar experience and left bleeding, with swollen cuticles. Every cut was treated with spraying alcohol onto the open wound, which burned fairly badly. read more

I have gone to K-lux nails twice and I will continue to go here until I move! The first time I went, I got a gel pedicure and a Full gel-X set with a design. Tracy and Mia both worked on me. These nails were for my graduation, and turned out better than i could have imagined. They were both very friendly and welcoming to me. I bite my nails and I tend to feel judged, but I don't feel judged here. Pricing is very reasonable, and the space is kept very clean and it smells good whenever I walk in. Staff is also very welcoming. read more

I went there yesterday, August 1, 2026. My pedicure was the worst pedicure I have ever had and the more they tried to fix it the worst it got I was only offered a color change for my toes I wasn't offered another pedicure. Nothing , it was the worst. I think The Lady touched my feet probably two times that was to do callus remover and to put the paint on , oh and to cut my toenails down to short ,it was the worst. and when The Lady changed the color of the toes, I told her beige or brown. I walked out with pink toenails at that point. I was so irritated. I didn't even have time to deal with it and I still left a tip. I got a nail design and they forgot to put the pearls on the nails so $160 plus a 25 dollar tip later, I'm still irritated still unsatisfied and for that I will never be going back to the nail salon again. read more

Took my girlfriend here twice to get her nails done. The lady that did her nails, her name is Jean, did a horrible job. Nails are different lengths, she's super rough when handling her hand. it basically looks like she doesn't want to be there and just wants to get the job done as fast as possible. And she proceeded to get mad at her for forgetting not putting a design when we booked the appointment Just an overall horrible job.. read more

I recently booked K-Lux in Pleasant Hill for part of my bachelorette party (I had been to the salon 1 other time). They were able to accommodate an entire party of 9 and were really flexible when we had to make a last minute adjustment. The salon is very large and spacious with I believe 8 chairs for pedicures, as well as many tables for just manicures. Since my wedding was in a few days, I requested Mia for my Gel X manicure with nail art, because I kept seeing her amazing work on Instagram. I gave her a few reference photos of bridal nails that I liked but also told her she could follow her own judgment and artistic instinct. She absolutely blew me away with her work. It was my first time getting Gel X, so I was a bit nervous, but she was really meticulous about the entire process, including carefully cleaning all the excess gel underneath. The design was so beautiful. Mia is a true artist. I've gotten so many compliments on my nails, especially on my wedding day. If you are looking for Pinterest perfect nail art, definitely ask for Mia! She even does 3D designs, though I only needed 2D art. And definitely get a pedicure! They have a menu of about 10 different pedicure offerings. I've tried both the signature and the rose pedicure and they were both so luxurious. I want to give an extra shout out to Anna who I previously received a manipedi from, as well as the owner Kevin. I didn't catch the name of the lady who usually handles check-in and payment, but she was really helpful too. I will absolutely be back again soon. What a great addition to the area. I've gone to multiple nail salons in the area for years, but all it took was 2 visits to convert me. read more
