Last Friday. March 2nd I decided to visit La Spa Nails as referral from my wife. I was seated pretty quick for a walk in and the customer service was good. It wasn't until 15 min into my pedicure that I noticed a sting in my right big toe from the nail technician scrubbing the side of my big toe with the Pumice stone, as I looked down I noticed my toe bleeding. I notified the nail technician of the blood, she asked if she did it. If you look at the picture attached the one on the left was right after it happened (3/2/18) and the one on the right is it's current state (3/6/18). I couldn't enjoy the rest of my pedicure due to the pain that I was in. I've had plenty of pedicures, and I've never had the side of my toe scrubbed with a pumice stone. I asked for a discount and even though I received one, the technician didn't want to at first. I will not be going back. read more

First and last time coming to this place ver rush and stopped my nail to fix another woman's nails

I try not to do a negative review, but when I do, it's because I'm really upset about it! It was mines and my sister's first time at this nail salon and wanted to try this place out. Gave this place the benefit of the doubt from all the negative reviews here. I got my nails done yesterday at about 11am. Then this morning when I woke up, I saw my left pinky and ring finger acrylic lifting already. Especially my pinky nail. I HAS NOT BEEN 24 HOURS SINCE I GOT THEM DONE! And no, I haven't washed the dishes nor do crazy cleaning for them to start lifting this quick. For a while I thought they did great and I liked how it turned out. Left the salon happy. But this morning.... Changed my whole perspective about this place. LESS THAN 24HRS THOUGH... That's just horrible quality. read more

The only reason I continue to go here is because I think Lynn does the best fills HOWEVER this is like the umpteenth time I've made an appointment that she can NEVER keep. My point is, why make an appointment and then take a walk in? It doesn't make any sense to me and quite frankly is pisses me off. I haven't been able to find a better nail tech than her, but the service is horrible here. Proceed with caution. read more

For Toes: They seem to do a good job but a few weeks later when I took the polish off, I noticed a BACTERIA GROWTH on my toes. This occurs when places are unsanitary and don't clean their equipment. My toe nails turned yellow and had some decay on them. What a nightmare! For nails: They do a good job and even give you a massage. However, after my experience with the bacteria on my toes after getting a pedicure, I don't think I can ever come back here again. read more

Lynn is the best ! I drive over an hour just to get my nails done by her . She spends her time on me and does very detailed work . I'm always satisfied ! I love the work she does !! read more

Went here yesterday on a whim, my regular person was too busy and could get me in Saturday!! Not!!! So I tried this place again. I ended up with someone's grandma and she was treating my feet like she had to do major work! Not! I had to tell her that my feet are sensitive for her to stop digging in my nailbeds or draw blood. Then came the manicure and the chick that did them had been sitting by me relaxing until other customers came in. Who does a manicure without soaking fingers in water first? She did and she tried my patience. I had to ask for water to soak because just putting cuticle cream on and that snatching and cutting my skin was not the business. Then I always bring my polishes with me because those shops use polish thinner to fill up low or almost gone polishes. It was a Revlon Gel polish that drys fast without the light and them heffas was squaking about that. This chick was also fascinated by my lashes and was asking too many questions. I tested my intuition and was right. I quoted her a price of what I paid which was a Lie and of course she told me their price etc, and I laughed to myself and of course here came the " you come here and we can do for you at a better price, however this is the CHICK THAT WAS GONNA GIVE ME A NO SOAK IN WATER MANICURE!!???. I was charged $35 for a manicure and pedicure and I had my own polish. Then asked for a tip. Definitely won't be going back. And it smelled like polish and . So yeah no more for me. read more

Come here frequently, usually call to make sure they'll be free but walk ins are okay too I believe. I'm not sure of the woman's name, but I've had many of them do my nails and they all do a terrific job! I come here, or go to Victoria Salon, they are my go to's for sure! I even come back here from Sacramento as I can't find any good ones out there. Great for acrylics, manicures and pedicures (I haven't done their skin care treatments or got my eyebrows done here but I see people with nice brows get them done :) ) read more

I'm only giving it a 4 star because of Owen he does your nails so good... I had went in there to get a full set and ruby did my nails and she messed them up so bad I went back in a week and had Owen take them off and do a whole new set and he did them amazing. I had took my mom in there to get a manicure and pedicure and Rudy did my moms nails and she did them so bad she has paint all over her skin and when we told her she then cut my mom three times I will never have ruby do a pedicure or anything else on me or my family read more

I called late Friday morning to get an appointment for a soak off and new (gel) set. They were able to fit me in at the exact time I wanted that afternoon! During the soak off my technician (blanking on her name) but she is lovely, the one who answers the phone, showed me this new technique product - Kiara Sky's Dip Powder. It is a color powder that can be applied directly to your nail or on tips. It's TRULY no chip (I've had some complications with gel color). Since it was my first time trying it I waited over a week to write the review and my nails are still cute, no chips, nothing broken. I got the shake power put directly on my real nail and they feel thin but sturdy! Will go back & get the same treatment! read more

I previoiusly wrote a review about this salon and I gave the rating little bit better. First of all I want to be clear I understand to write a review is all about rating the place so it gives an idea for the new customers to decide whether to visit the place or not in the future. With that being said I am not trying to bad-mouth anyone here. : ) I been holding off on writing this particular review because I am aware of the possible outcome it may bring. It been several times now the person (I am not going to mention any name here) who handle collect money for the service at this place has multiply think that I wasn't going to pay for the service rendered by acting doubtfully and questionly in an almost not trusting at ALL. I understand that its difficult and challenging at the same time to keep track of who paid and who didn't especially when the place is all fulled. But still I been coming here for quite some times now (long time loyal customer). And also I usually pay with my bank card and there is an additional fee applied which I am totally ok with it (I am aware of that because the banks have to charge the merchant a fee also) and whenever I add the tip to the service she always seem like that wasn't enough by either not smiling, not say anything or no thank you at all (I am very serious) Now I also know time are tough for everyone but still whatever amount of tips the customer give is all up to the customer and for whatever the amount might be its common courtesy to acknowledge by appreciate the nice gesture. And that's should go without saying for having a business. Now some of you reading this review might thinking and asking in your mind if all I said above was true "why am I still coming here when there are hundreds of other nail salon to choose from in the bay area?" Well every business and person have good and bad traits in them and I do love the works of the workers perform most of the times because I have been to other places but the quality of result is not the same. Some of the technicans really take their times instead of rushing to the next customer to gain more profits. I truly hope this review is helpful to anyone has been here long time or just starting to come here or is totally new and searching for a good salon. Thank you for reading and May all the ladies all groom up and look pretty everyday! : D read more

Let me start by saying I CAN NOT DO THIS SHOP....NEVER and will never do it again.... 1 I came at 9am and the nail techs were late my full set did not begin until 10/10:30 2 overpriced for bullshit 3 my nails began to pop off 2 days after i got them done, ive never had this issue before. I will never go to this place again...stick to Tiffanys down the street i was desperate for a full set will never do it again good byeeeeeee read more

Wow. That was excruciating. I tried to be nice and said from the beginning that I had an injury so I didn't want a massage, that I was ticklish anyway. At this, the young woman rolled her eyes and exchanged a look with the person next to her. Huh. Then - you know when the pedicurist grabs your foot so hard it's painful when they're scrubbing you down? Her fingernails were dug into me and it felt like she was crushing my bones. So I asked her nicely to be gentle. She balks and again laughs, dramatically rolls her eyes with the person next to her like a 13 year old. Really? I don't get to even have input here? I was polite about the feedback. Can't remember her name, but I wrote it down somewhere. Pedicures are usually pleasant and easy, not this time. My first and last time here. read more

Do not go here if you are looking for a relaxing time or for your nails to be done correctly or in a timely matter. When I arrived I was greeted by one the nail techs eating at her work station. I told her that I wanted a mani and pedi. She asked me three more times before I sat down what I wanted. I was ushered to pedicure station, another tech arrived and started on my hands. She cut my cuticles in several spots making me bleed. After, she walked away and left me in the chair for another 20 minutes. Several other guest arrived and were helped before me. It was not until I started packing up the leaving that she came back like nothing happen arguing with the lady who was eating. No seemed to want to help me. She did an ok job on my nails and i could tell she really didn't want to do them. Someone else did my pedicure. They did a decent job, nothing to write home about.As I was waiting for my pedicure to dry another tech came over and tried to put sandals on before my nails were set and ruined one of my big toes! I will not be back read more

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE I honestly do not know why these people have 4 stars .. Lied to me about my appointment and instant infection for your nails .. Then pls come on in .. read more

They got in this wonderful nail polish that I just love. It's long wearing like shellac but it doesn't dry out my cuticles. I am not kidding you! This stuff will last a couple of weeks. Because I am on protein drinks and so many vitamins, mine grows out and has to be replaced long before it ever chips. It's the stuff in the black bottles-- it's called gelleration. If you're gonna try the long wearing polish, you might wanna try it. I love it. I have been getting #45-- Kensington Rose. Also, I can't say enough good things about Anh. She did my permanent eyeliner and I love, love, love it. She also did a great job on those lashes for me for $60! They were beautiful. They looked so natural and I felt like a queen. But, I got in the tanning bed and melted the glue. I had to go back to her and get them soaked off. So they didn't work for me because of the tanning. But if you want lashes, wow, they were stunning. read more

I called to see if they accept walk ins and the lady told me yes and I'll be seen right away. I literally got there in 2 minutes and like she said I was seated right away. So that's where 1 starts come from. PEDICURE: The massage was really relaxing and good and all the lotions and stuff they use smell really good. I asked for white nail polish and she did a French instead, which I didn't mind because it looked nice. That's just not what I asked for. NAILS: Here is where my rating went down. I didn't ask for a fill I only asked for a CHANGE in color. She took an hour to change my color. I asked for a nude and she put a soft pink. As I got home I noticed that all the dry glue around my rhinestones are noticeable, making my nails look bulky. TOTAL: The total for my CHANGE IN COLOR was $25 plus $15 of rhinestones is 2 fingers and my pedicure was $27. I paid a total of $67 for something so simple . read more

Ana has been doing my nails for over 5 years... I follow her to every salon. She does eyelash extensions too! I've had them put on in the past from other locations and was very disappointed. Since Ana has been doing my lashes, I have had nothing but compliments and they last weeks. She does the best work and is worth every dime and piece of your travel time! read more

Linn is amazing!!!! She also does amazing pedicure!!! The environment and place is very spacious and the staffs are all very friendly. I love their special signature package and my feet always feel brand new!!!! read more

I'm the girl that switches nail shops after a couple of visits.. Not here! I've been loyal to this nail shop since my first visit. Exactly what I spent all those years looking for. Affordable, good quality, friendly and great selection. Hands down the biggest color selection of shellac and gel I've ever seen. Lang is MY GIRL for pedicures read more

I made and appointment and went to this salon while visiting relatives in the area. I had a shellac manicure, with UV drying which was outstanding and is still on my nails without a chip after two weeks. Tracy was my tech and she was very kind and meticulous. She did exactly as I asked and also did an excellent matching pedicure. The ambience of the salon was relaxed and the staff and manager were nothing but helpful. Salon was clean and prices reasonable. They did charge extra for my debit card use. If I visit San Leandro again, I'll be coming back for sure. read more

My friend and I walked in on Saturday afternoon, our normal place was booked. When I sat down the woman working on my nails asked me where I had gone previously, she said that my nails were uneven. Then she asked how much I had paid, I had gotten a full set and a pedicure at that place and it came out to about $70. She then proceeded to rudely jerk my hand and burn me with the drill several times without even apologizing, openly gossip about customers with coworkers, and then blatantly lie to me. She told me she charged more for pedicures than my other place. I was suspicious of her at that point so I said "really? What do they charge?" She said "I don't know". My pedicure experience was no better, the guy hurt me several times and pretended not to notice. My friend was seated next to me for the pedicures, she was telling me that her experience was similar to mine. We were talking and waiting for our nails to dry when the young girl who had worked on my friends pedicure interrupted us and said "YOU PAY NOW". I don't even know why we were even surprised at how rude she was. Icing on the cake, they left my nails a sloppy mess and charged me a dollar more than what I said I had paid at the last place, and this was a fill not a full set. read more

I went for a second shellac manicure here today. The first one lasted over three weeks! If my nails didn't grow so fast, it would have been good for at least another week. I had a pedicure there when I had my first manicure a few weeks ago and its still all good. La Spa Nails is definitely my regular nail spot now! read more

Stupid of me to give this place another try, because I was desperate for a pedi. Stupid of me to make an appointment days in advance, because I wanted a specific person. Stupid of me to arrive 10 min before said appointment. Stupid of me to have to WAIT AN HOUR thereafter my said appointment. Dang! Stupid of LaSpa to give me a lame ass excuse as to why I have to wait. She's always busy on Saturday's. That's why I had an appointment silly! What you should've done was tell the lady who was just getting started when I got there that you someone else was gonna do her pedicure because the next appointment has arrived ON TIME. Where's the customer service?!? The nerve of you to then say something to me 40 minutes after waiting and then suggested someone else do it. NO. So my "appointment " was for 1130a.....I didn't leave the shop until 115p. Totally unacceptable for a damn pedicure. What was once $20 is now $22.50. Stupid of you to think I was gonna "tip" that service... Stupid of you to think this review was gonna be great. Im done.....still on the hunt for a good pedicure. read more

I've been getting facials here for about a year now. I think they run $50 a pop or purchase a package of five and receive a percentage discount (can't remember what it is though). The aesthetician's name is Anh, and she is extremely thorough with the extractions. Though painful (as facials with extractions are), I always walk out feeling like my face has been detoxified. Afterall, no pain, no gain, right? I've had my nails done a few times here, and they do a decent enough job. They charge a bit more than other local shops ($20 not including tip), which I consider a little pricey for San Leandro. On the plus side, they recently purchased new spa/massage chairs, which are AWESOME! The massage feature kneads your back, not just vibrates. Bottom line, don't expect a luxurious spa experience, but you will get a great facial for what you pay. read more

They were super fast despite being busy and Three weeks later and every single one of my nails is still on! That's how I determine if I go back or not and I will definitely be going back to get a fill. Nails should last longer than a week or two and these are holding strong. read more

I have been here twice for my pedi and love it. It's spacious, clean and well ventilated which is important to me since I often find nail salons to be a hard place to breathe. The ladies are lovely and give you little extras like shoulder rubs- which is always a bonus in my book. read more

Lovely, lovely service. Been going for 7 months and haven't had a bad experience yet. You can make an appointment or walk-in, but what I like is that if you walk in, they will be honest and tell you if they can or can't take you, because I hate a place where they say they'll take you and you wait for an hour and then get crappy service. Eyebrow waxing isn't the best ever, but, they keep it safe and do a professional job at cleaning and shaping. So far, no bad experience there. My nails look great, I like that they are all trained at doing all kinds of nail techniques and they keep up with the latest trends. Parking is great because they're located at a shopping center so you don't have to pay for parking. Great service and I have to say, very friendly staff. Love this place! read more

I've been to several local salons, La Spa is the best in the area. I always make an appt with Tracy, she is just awesome. Never rushed, it's a full hour in the chair. Very meticulous, great massage at the end of my pedicure. I always give Tracy a nice tip, she earns it every time. An absolute professional, and a real sweetheart. She consistently gives me an outstanding pedicure. read more

The girls are all very nice and thats great. But the quality is just not there my cuticles where not cut back, and I had to ask the them to file my nails down. Honestly I could have done a better job painting them. I think the problem is they want to get people in and out as quick as they can and are just not concerned with anything else. Also I am assuming that some kind of remodeling is happening is the bathroom but it looks like a construction zone. read more

I walked into this salon with a total of 9 people. 3 of us walked in together, I was the only person who washed their hands.. It was dark AND hot inside. I was told it would be an hour wait although I had an appointment from 4 days ago. I have frequent this salon for over 5 years and I now know why it's always my last choice. And no, I did not wait. I choose life for my loved ones and self. Be safe out there and keep an open eye for slackers read more

If I could give zeros stars I would. My pedi is completely uneven and the color doesn't even match my nails. The nail tech who was doing my mani pressured me into getting the powder nails that didn't turn out well. I feel like everything was rushed. My water was super cold and they didn't even massage me or put lotion on my hands. I feel like both people got lazy, my nail tech buffed out my left hand until it was smooth but when it came to my right hand she quickly did it and stopped. read more

Terrible customer service. I told the lady I wanted a basic gel manicure. After picking my color the lady tries to convince me into some other type of nail polish because gel is "bad" for your nails. It was extremely hard to understand what she was trying to explain. I told her I didn't want that. She proceed to try to find something similar to my color in this other type of nail polish that supposedly last 5 weeks. I told her I wasn't interested. She continues to roughly file my nails and goes to grab my color. The entire time seemed very distracted talking to the other ladies and I felt very rushed. She hurt me a couple of times. When she finally applied the gel i noticed bumble in one of the nails. So I pointed it out to her. She just layered another coat. She didn't even bother to clean the nail polish she got all over my fingers. Her technique with the clean polish was to get it on as quickly as possible and dig her nail around mine to clean off the excess. I still have tons of dead cuticle skin surrounding the awful nail polish job she did. I will not be returning. I'd rather pay a little more and get way better service. read more

I have been here 3 times for mani/pedi svc. The ladies are always really sweet. I like the massage you get with ur manicure. I got shellac twice and it turned out really nice both times. With regular nail polish, there are not many colors to choose from. Shellac has alot of colors. The prices are okay, $28 for shellac and I think $21 for pedi. I can't remember the exact price for pedi. I didn't like that the person doing my pedicure (who should be trained in this) didn't know that you couldn't massage certain parts of the ankle bcuz it induces labor. None of the ladies knew that. If ur giving out massages, you should know that the things you're touching can lead to changes in a persons body. Overall, a nice place. Clean, friendly service. read more
