I got the best Manny Petty today! The nail technicians were really good and the shop is super clean with a great vibe. This is my new nail shop for sure! Loved it.! read more

Great service, I work close by and needed a pedi so I decided to stop in on my lunch break. They were able to accommodate my lunch break and get me right in. They have all new massage chairs and they are really nice too even heat up. I was way behind on my pedi too so my toes were a mess but she fixed me up painlessly I might add lol. Got new gels and was on my way! I will be back in. read more

Awesome experience! My sister and I wanted a quick dip powder manicure so we decided to try this place out, safe to say we will definitely be back! Amazing customer service, everyone is so sweet and even offered us tea, coffee and water. They really take their time and make sure you get what you want! My new go to nail salon! read more

Kool Nails - Dip mani - Nail Salons Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

I know Thao from her previous nail salon, and was so excited when she took over Kool Nails bc it's closer to home. Let me tell you, Thao is the sweetest person ever and knows what she's doing when it comes to your nails. Her team is an amazing group of women. I got my gel mani done by Jessica and it was my first time trying cat eye gel. LOOK AT THIS SHIMMER Y'ALL, it's insane and I'm thoroughly obsessed. Thao did my spa pedi with regular polish -- they have a huge variety of bath salts to choose from for your soak. I went with the classic lavender, but I'd love to try a different option next time. They recently renovated so the massage chairs & everything is brand new. Everything felt very clean and organized. Looking forward to my next visit! I went in on a Monday late morning with my MIL without a reservation and we were both thankful to get seated fairly quickly. read more

Kool nails is my favorite nail spot in Walnut Creek. The staff are all so nice and remember my name when I come in. The atmosphere is very relaxing, and their chairs are awesome for massages.

Excellent customer service, clean and welcoming environment. Provided feedback on my choice of service and gave their honest opinion

I am so glad that this salon is now Kool Nails under new ownership! I came her for my wedding nails (white nails in pic) and the dip manicure lasted PERFECTLY for over 3 weeks. Through my wedding, honeymoon, and a week after we returned home - I was amazed! I just got my nails done again here after 3 weeks with my wedding nails and they are, again, perfect! I also got a pedicure and it's lasted me with NO chipping going on 4 weeks now! The salon is so beautiful and brand new. It's clean, organized and puts you in a relaxing space. Also, ALL of the ladies there are so kind and accommodating. They always made sure i was comfortable, had what I needed and listened to me. I am a little picky so this was HUGE for me. They also will help advise you on the best color (speaking of colors they have a TON), shape, type of manicure etc. You can tell they all really get along too which I love! It's further of a drive for my from my old nail salon but I'll go out of my way from now on to visit this amazing salon...it's worth it! Please don't hesitate to try Kool Nails, you won't regret it. read more

So happy to find Tao again by accident. I preferred to come here on weekdays than weekends. Price is reasonable, parking can be challenging or easy. Nice ladies and I like my mani pedi. Even my daughter remembers them. read more

Thao has been doing my manicures for years. She is simply the best. Her new salon downtown WC has adequate parking and all the equipment is brand new. Always a pleasurable experience. Highly recommended! read more

Beautiful vibe and very professional manicurists! Easy to book! Check in so easy through an I pad! Chairs super comfortable !

Kool Nails is my one and only "go to" place for nails. I recently stumbled on this hidden gem in Walnut Creek and discovered that this place is under new ownership and has recently been remodeled. It is a quiet and relaxing setting in an a strip mall close to downtown Walnut Creek (without having to search for a parking spot). I have always been welcomed with friendly staff from the minute I enter the door and the clientele that frequent Kool Nails always seem grateful to be there. My gel manicures from here are top notch quality and last for 3 weeks. They are always very accommodating with appointments, as well. A+ for Kool Nails! read more

I can't comment on the manicure I made an appointment for since I didn't get it! Short story: the owner obviously overbooked because when I arrived on time all 3 employees were working on individual clients and the owner was also helping an employee on a mani-pedi. There were 2 other clients in pedicure chairs waiting! After 10 minutes I was seated at an empty manicure station by the owner. When I said you're really running behind, she said "no, no, I take you in one minute". The three other clients were only about halfway through so it was not going to be "one minute", especially with 2 other clients waiting for pedicures! The owner seemed very upset that I was leaving but didn't bother to apologize or make any attempt to reschedule. I guess she doesn't want repeat business - this was my first and last time here. read more

Such a nice setup. Best chairs in WC!! Great work on my acrylic gel mani and gel pedi.

Love this new nail salon. Warm and welcoming and an excellent manicure- pedicure. Convenient parking right out front.

Great nail salon in downtown WC, around the corner from Las Lomas and across from Kaiser on Newell Ave. Just remodeled, place is beautiful and people there are friendly and professional. Owner Thao is caring and chose beautiful quality products they use for services. I highly recommend!!!! read more

Unparalleled! New ownership who gave the nail salon a total makeover. Everything is brand spanking new. The chairs are modern and have every convenience including heated seats. Wow! Thao, who I think is the owner, offered two wine choices, tea or water. The service options menu has been updated. Best is the spa pedicure was fantastic. I upgraded to an oatmeal & honey pedicure and it was fantastic! Looking forward to my next service. You should too! Oh, LGBTQ+ Friendly!‍‍ read more

I've been going to this salon for years and their quality and professionalism is outstanding. A fantastic experience for a great price.

Been a few times now and it is clean, and quiet with a large selection of colors. I've gotten two gel manicures and a pedicure and all have been done extremely well. I love it and want to support this spot! read more

Very happy with new ownership! They renovated and upgraded everything and got brand new polish, they were very hospitable and took the time to work with me on picking a color. I went here because it's conveniently located for me, but I will keep coming back for the service! read more
