    So pretty cat eye flower nails!
    Samantha T.

    Natalie did amazing! I wanted cateye nails with a flower effect and she did just that. Got in and out in a hour without sacrificing quality or detailed work.

    Some of the color choices (there were 3-4 more books of nail polish colors).

    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.

    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

    They were great as usual! In time, friendly, and my nail turned out just as I requested!

    Full set of nails

    Amazing job! The attention was great and i love the results the price is good and u can bring design. The nail tech was so attentive and nice

    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!

    Thao continues to impress! She gave me the most beautiful natural white nails for my wedding day! I knew she would take care of me on my most important day. They came out exactly how I wanted them!

    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.

    I have been going here for a couple months. Everyone is super kind and I have yet to have a bad experience here. My nails turn out super amazing every time!

The space is really beautiful and welcoming, and the staff are kind--I appreciated being greeted right when I walked in. That said, both times I've visited, I did end up waiting a bit past my appointment time, which was a little frustrating. The services themselves felt a bit rushed, and I didn't get the same level of attention to detail I've experienced at other places. I also noticed that the wax residue wasn't fully cleaned off afterward, which I personally prefer as part of the service. Lastly, there were a few areas that felt slightly incomplete, so I didn't leave feeling 100% satisfied with the results. Because of these issues, I don't think I'll be returning.

She worked with confidence and skill, making the waxing process smooth and comfortable. On top of that, she was friendly, pleasant, and very accommodating throughout the appointment. I was especially impressed by her honesty--she adjusted the price when the service required less work than originally scheduled. Overall, a professional and customer-focused experience. I highly recommend Stephanie and her services!

    It has now been 2 years since I have been a client of Katie. I felt the need to give an update…read morebecause it's been a while. I have went to two other studios one in Berkeley that specializes in sugaring and the other in rock ridge that has two other locations and both spas are around if night hire pricing as nude salon. Timing and distance is the only reason I went to another salon. One was so uncomfortable and the lady was extremely rude the second place the lady after I told her twice burnt me. With this being said I will not go anywhere else but with Katie. I live in el cerrito so it is a drive and with traffic can take over an hr but she is so worth it. Her space is always clean the having slight ice this puts me at ease. The wax is always top quality and never once over a dozen times too hot or caused any irritation. She is also extremely kind and works at a speed I don't feel rushed but it is fast I can get in and out writhing 30 min if I don't chat her ear off too much. Her booking system is easy but I find it best to reschedule ahead to get my desired appointment she books out. If you are new to waxing or a seasoned waxed looking for a fabulous wax Katie is your girl. I appreciate her making a service that can be scary and painful as painless as possible. I always feel so much more confident and grateful after my wax session. Don't walk run to make your apt. Alexandra

    Katie is super skilled and has a has a demeanor that makes even Brazilians seem relaxed!read more
