I've been coming to Kool Nails since I moved to Walnut Creek in August 2024. I used to come every two weeks like clockwork, but unfortunately, I've had to slow down since being laid off. That said, I absolutely love this place! The quality of the products is excellent, the ambiance is lovely, and their equipment is top-notch. The staff are amazing so friendly and professional, and they know me by name now. I often got special designs on my nails, and they always nailed it. I even grew my real nails really long, and they constantly helped maintain them, patching and fixing broken nails so I didn't have to cut them. I've recently gone back to acrylics, but I just want to say these ladies are incredible. They actually clean your cuticles properly, and they're even great at handling ingrown toenails. But the cuticles work is great which, as a Brazilian girl, is a massive deal since so many places don't do it right. I love coming here and will continue to do so as long as I can. Thank you, girls, for being amazing! read more

I got a decent manicure and pedicure (certainly for the price). This will definitely be a spot I go to when I am not wanting a luxurious nail salon experience. Everyone working there was incredibly nice and did a really good job on my nails. They definitely took the time to make sure each nail looked great. There were a ton of color options. I would recommend making a reservation. read more

I've been looking for a new nail shop and I've been here once before but just to have them remove old nails. I came for a fresh Gel X set and a gel pedicure. Erica did my nails and OMG!!!!! The shape! Trust me when it comes to shape I do not play! I'm not really a design person anymore but I more so care about the shape. I showed her a picture and she delivered! The vibe of this salon is so cute. It's small and intimate but very sterile & clean. I think I found my new nail Tech! Yum read more

Very professional and friendly service. My elderly mother also receives VIP treatment. I really appreciate the nail tools are sanitized for each customer, the salon is clean and comfortable. Everyone works hard to provide a relaxing experience. Working with the general public can be difficult, I have personally seen the owner and staff work hard to please the most challenging customers. Would highly recommend this salon. read more

Called and scheduled 4 people for pedicures an hour ahead. Came in and had an okay experience getting into our chairs. Felt very uncomfortable on the chair. Seems like they're just worried about getting people in and out. No skill, no customer service, no personability. Just seemed annoyed with us all, didn't give much of a massage and just seemed annoyed. Not worth it. Update: my friend overheard them talking in Vietnamese and she translated. Very rude read more

Just wanted to update / add to my review... Nikki did an absolutely phenomenal job with my manicure today. Her attention to detail was very much appreciated, and she really seemed to care to provide excellent service. Not to mention, she was just so sweet overall! Happy with my experiences here so far and will continue to come back! read more

My new go-to nail salon for gel-x! Highly recommend Erika for gel-x. She's meticulous with everything, from trimming to cleaning and prepping the nail properly so it's long-lasting. The first time I came, the process took almost 2 hrs because I had to remove old gel-x, and also added some design. Second time took an hour for a filling, reshaping, and color change. I also like their basic pedicure; looking forward to continuing that as well--very relaxing. I think they're reasonably priced for all of their services. Recommend making an appointment ahead of time as some days get busy. Parking can be tough but there's also some spots in the back. read more

The best nails I've gotten! Recently moved here and was struggling to find someone who can do detailed designs. I had gone to two other nails salons and neither compare to Erika. She not only took the time make sure the nails weren't too thick but was so detailed oriented in the entire design process making sure it was perfect! I am so happy I found this place! read more

We were so happy that they were able to accommodate the both of us with short notice. When we walked in, we realize that we used to go to the nail salon that was here before, but the new remodel and decor feels so upgraded. It's like a nice little relaxing Mecca when you walk through the doors and see all the upgraded equipment. I like that when we sat down, they offered us water and hot tea. The both of us made an appointment to get our nails done. We both had a full set of acrylics put on for a wedding that we were going to visit and I had a regular pedicure while my daughter had a French pedicure. I love the fact that they took their time with my daughter and her nails turned out beautifully. She wanted a little gradient with a different design on every finger and have little shining gems on her nails. The best thing about it is that when we were traveling, people would give her compliments on her hands then entire time or her catch a beam of sunlight and sparkle. We were both really happy with our manicures, but not so happy with our pedicures. Next time, we will get our manicures at Kool Nails because they do a great job at manicures. read more

Amazing work for a very reasonable price. My family agrees and we have been coming here moving forward.

I found Kool Nails by asking Yelp if anyone could get me in for a same day service and they responded. I got a french pedicure and a natural manicure. They did a great job! My natural nails look amazing! I have never been able to get my nails to look like that. My pedicure looks fabulous too. This place was also very clean which I appreciate and their prices were reasonable. I think I've found my new nail place! read more

I get my nails filled by Lyn at KoolNails on a regular basis. I periodically get a pedicure. I have never had such quality work done, I mean the amount of precision, CARE, and TIME that she puts in to my nails blows me away every time, I always leave completely satisfied. And the owner Taw is a very good business woman, and good to all her employees, and customers. She actually did my nails once, and I was just as happy. The aesthetics, hardware, and products they use in this Nail Salon are very quality, It is a very relaxing environment. I would highly recommend this nail salon to anyone. Kindly Debra read more

This place started so great- clean, recently remodeled, friendly employees. I paid $80 for a standard mani/pedi (with tip) to prep for my vacation. 24 hours later, at the airport, here's what my nails looked like prior to take off. To say I was disappointed with the result is an understatement. Might be ok for gel nails, def a rip off for a standard manicure. read more

Nicky is AMAZING!! I haven't gotten a pedicure since October and a manicure in forever. Needless to say my feet were really beat up--Nicky got rid of all my calluses and made sure my feet were smooth and soft before moving on to the next step of the pedicure. She's so meticulous and was INCREDIBLY gentle! I have VERY sensitive feet and am EXTREMELY ticklish--she was so wonderful! Highly recommend her if you come here! read more

I had my gel manicure done by Nikki yesterday and I couldn't be happier! This is the type of nail salon I've been looking for. Smaller, clean, personal and they take their time with each customer!!!

THE BEST.. I have been following Thao for 10 years. She is a true artist! I can give her any inspo pic from IG and she always exceeds my expectations . Coming from SoCal I was so picky. She does the most natural gel X but is also great with natural nails. They also give excellent pedicures, take their time most importantly everything is so clean! read more

I highly recommend anyone who is picky about their nails to visit Kool Nails. The owner and the staff are so very friendly and will make you feel at home. read more

I'm enjoying my perfect pedicure. Great job! I called the book an appointment last minute and I had availability in an hour. So my friend and I walked to the salon and was greeted and seated right away. Good customer service. Thank you. read more

This place was okay. Best thing about our experience there was that they had availability to see us with no appointment. The manicure was just okay. I don't polish my nails, so mine was super quick and I thought I might get extra massage time or a reduced price, but the hand massage was very quick ( less than 4 minutes) and they still charged me $25 for a basic manicure with no polish! My little sister also got a manicure and wanted nail art (a bat on her ring fingers). They changed me $45 for her and the bat looked terrible! Couldn't even tell what it was. Not going back. Too expensive, for what we got. read more
