Very warm and welcoming salon. It's also a very clean salon with sterilized equipment for each client. Didn't have my preferred polish color and they ordered it for me! . read more

Always able to get in same day...Kenny did fabulous pedicure...very relaxing. Manicure was wonderful with great hand and arm massage.

High quality mail care! I have tried many mail places, but no one beats the quality of Lafayette Nails. My gel nails last and don't chip or peel. I also love their pedis in such comfortable massage chairs! To top it off, the people running the place and working there are wonderful! They are now like family! read more

Last minute I decided to get a Pedicure and my usual salon was full as it was Friday. I made an appointment at Lafayette nails as the location is convenient for me. So, the older woman who did my nails digs into cuticles aggressively. She actually cut my left foot, 3rd toe. Mistakes happen but she did not apologize or even acknowledge the mistake, even when I said "OW!" and watched her disinfect the cut. Then, a mom and her 7 (?) year old come in. Grandma joins them after 15 minutes. Mom is clearly a "regular" as she greets the technicians warmly. Then she and Grandma, for the next half a hour, shout over the little girl who is sitting between them, planning *every* detail of their trip and Thanksgiving meal. Like they are the only ones in the shop. I understand the shop cannot control the behavior of their (entitled) customers. But this was a miserable 30 minutes. I left as fast as I could. Between that shoutfest and the cut on my foot, no way am I going back. The shop was clean. read more

I walked in and requested a pedicure. They were welcoming and able to take me immediately on a Saturday mid-morning. The pedicure was wonderful- polish was perfect and a nice, relaxing leg massage too. I'll definitely be back again! read more

First time here for a mani/pedi appointment. Glad I came across this salon - they are all certified in taking extra safety COVID-19 protocols. They have dividers up between each pedicure chair station. Being 3 months pregnant, safety is my #1 concern and priority and I'm happy to see that they're on the same page when it comes to staying healthy and safe. Will definitely be returning. Thanks @Lafayette Nails! read more

I visited Lafayette Nails today for a mani-pedi, only the 2nd or third time I've had my nails done since the pandemic shutdown. They did a great job at a fair price. I particularly appreciated their excellent treatment of a partially grown/ disfigured big toe nail that resulted from an inept self-pedicure during the pandemic. Kelly was thorough and careful and the result looks much better than I had hoped. I'll be back! read more

I have been coming here for over 15 plus years. The service has always been consistently good and their product - never disappointed. And now they have remodeled and have totally taken their salon to a new level. It is beautiful. So now we have great service in a beautiful salon ... and at a responsible price. read more

Kelly and Kathleen are both excellent, my nails last longer with them! :) I always end up coming back here.

This is the best spot in Lafayette. Everyone is friendly and they do great nails and designs. Also enjoy that it's generally quiet and relaxing with good parking read more

Kathleen and Kelly are absolutely amazing. They put up with all the trendy nails I want to try and always help me to make decisions on what's best for my nails. Kathleen is SO honest, personable, and kind. Kelly is a perfectionist and does the most beautiful manicures. My mom and I have been going here together since I was a freshman in high school and I'm a junior in college now. I cannot recommend them enough and I can't believe I didn't write this review sooner! read more

If you're reading this I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy. Times are hard for everyone right now but if you can and are able to and most of all love Kathleen like I do. Please send her a little something to help her get through this tough time.. who knows how long this will last. Stay safe everyone. God bless you. Kathleen is the new manager of this place and I couldn't be more happy for her. She's been doing my nails for 13 years and I will follow her anywhere. I will not let anyone else do my nails. I always get compliments on my nails. Kathleen is super friendly, professional and always on time. This is the place to go!!!!! read more

Kelly is pleasant, a professional, and great at her craft with a dip almond shaped manicure. Next time, I will have nail art done, and am excited to see her artistic ability. What a beautiful spot. read more

I have been a customer of Lafayette Nails for about 8 years. Although I do not go on a monthly basis I do go as much as I can. I have always been treated well, the ladies are friendly and do a great job taking care of my nails. I have tried other places when Lafayette Nails has been too busy and I can't get an appointment. I have been disappointed in other nail shops but Lafayette Nails gets 5 stars because they do a wonderful job and the place is clean and welcoming. read more

This little place rocks it! Unlike many walk in places, where you have maybe one or two technicians, they fill it up with 4 on average. So you're not usually more than 2 minutes away from jumping into a massage chair. Their pedi is typical, until you get to the massage. And let's face it, it's all about the massage. Nobody really likes having their pigs picked at, so the reward? The massage... and they're not in any hurry. My technician thankfully wore no latex gloves (thank you thank you thank you) and worked my legs, calves and feet like she was on a mission. Whatever her mission was, it worked! I was completely blissful when completed. Overall - about a 15 minute massage (I say about, as I was in a mildly euphoric passed out state). Now, here's why they don't get the 5 stars. I brought my son with me. He's a hockey player, so a good pedi every now and again is necessary for those pigs. They started his treatment the same time as mine, and were finished with him before my massage even started. He was about 15 minutes total. He got no color - just buff, so that accounts for about 10 minutes, but he got ripped off. And the worst part? His was also $22.00. So mine was a deal, and his was not. I would have happily ponied up the full price for him had they massaged him as long as they did me. I'd recommend if you have youngsters, go somewhere else where they pro-rate for the shorter service. If it's just you & your giant legs & pigs - go here! read more

Best mani/pedi on the planet can be had.... HERE! Probably best to secure your spot by calling ahead- they get busy. Massages are incredible. Tony is perhaps the ONLY tickle-free pedicure giver!! Amazing!! Nail polish selection can be a little tough --- so many choices. The entire staff is friendly and attentive. Prices are reasonable and fair. If having fabulous looking nails is important to you- look no further. Lafayette Nails is your new nail salon!! read more

It has almost been 1 year since I was at Lafayette Nails and had the painful experience of digging into my cuticles at the ends of my nail beds. My two nails and my skin surrounding have become worsening over these last 10 months. They are sore to the touch and it has handicapped me since. My middle and index are a constant red color, the nails have waved and have white punctures/ stripe like indentations and brown like substance in the corners. I have been to my Dr 3 times and over the months he had prescribed a topical antibiotic, antibiotic pills for 10 days and recently Clotrimazole and Betamethasone. Today I saw a local dermatologist in Lafayette at the request of my general Dr. She took a biopsy which will take several weeks for the results and did suggest from her professional knowledge that the cause of the constant inflammation was from the digging in to far to my cuticles. I will await to hear from the lab results. read more

Been going here for years. Kathleen does such a great job. Always puts 100% of her effort in every time I come in regardless if it's in the beginning of the say or an hour before closing. I've been to other nails salons with better reviews and I have always walked right now with a bad experience to those . All besides Lafayette nails. They have never failed me and are always willing to make sure your wait time is short. 10/10 service customer and quality of the work. I recommend this place to anyone who's looking for a nail salon! read more

I have never been to a nail salon where I booked a follow up appointment. Usually I go in get a mani/pedi and feel rushed out forcing myself to return to a nail place when my growth is so bad I can no longer stand it. Kathleen and Linda at Lafayette Nails are soooooo sweet and I enjoyed my time so much. Can't wait to go back. Ohhhhh and they do a darn good job at nails too. read more

This place is so cute! The decorations are super nice and they actually do acrylic nails unlike the rest of freaking upity lamorinda.

Just went for a pedicure. Was never going to go again but though how could someone mess up a pedicure? Well, turns out this place can. Cut my foot when I noted that is what hey we're doing they continued doing it, dumped alcohol on the open wound and then put a green solution on it which burned more. HORRIBLE. I'm filing a complaint with the city of Lafayette as well as the California Board of Barbering and Cosmetology! They even made me pay, blood and all read more

Literally THE worst mani pedi I have ever gotten. The employees were more concerned about watching the olympics than anything else. The woman I had spent a ridiculous time massaging my legs with exfoliant and lotion (no water) so it burned and hurt for hours after. My sister and mom had poor experiences too- they barely did any "pedi" care to my mom and basically massaged her calfs versus working on her feet. My sister got a gel mani and it looks like someone rubbed it off of some of her fingers, and she had polish on her skin, too. The woman that did my nails literally painted my fingers! Like a 5 year old. She did a really crappy job. There was nail polish all over my fingers/skin, and she barely used any polish on my actual nail. I told them I wasn't going to pay and they got out a brush and did a half effort job at trying to get it off. They didn't cut cuticles either - seriously it looks horrible! Their utensils did not look sanitized, either. I didn't see them wash out the basin from our feet. Also - I've been here before, over a year ago and they were better. So obviously things have changed and none of us will ever return! read more

It's hard to find a place to get your nails done..and let it still be cheap and worthwhile. But this is it. Seriously. And I've been coming here for years, and have brought many friends to this establishment. For a manicure and pedicure...it's only $32.00 together. And we all know some places like to charge anywhere from $25 - 50 for a spa pedicure nowadays. Now here's the best part....when they massage you, there's none of that $1 per minute bullshit. They MASSAGE you. I've been to some shady ass places where they only rub till the lotion is absorbed into your skin. But there is NONE of that here. Friendly. Fast. And they always remember me. :-D But I can't promise they won't talk shit about YOU in Vietnamese. read more

Only have one thing to say, my pedicure lasted for about one month... that alone made me a fan.

Found my new nail place. Everyone is super nice and they know what they're doing. If you bring in a picture of what you want they can replicate to a t. Cathleen is by far the sweetest women. Great at her job and really helped me out. I came in with 3 broken nails was super gentle when she took them off to be replaced. Made sure I wasn't in any pain. I haven't been this happy with my nails in a long time. She did a beautiful job. She's for sure the reason I'll be coming back. Women deserve a pay raise. read more

Lafayette Nails - Cathleen does an amazing job! Thank you so much - Nail Salons Near Me - Lafayette, California

3 stars for a few reasons. I was a new customer yesterday and I made an appointment over the phone and was attended to as soon as I showed up. However, I found it odd that the man doing my nails didn't do a single thing to my nails/hands before he began my full set. Didn't ask me to wash my hands, no cuticle cutting, no anything. Just went straight to gluing my tips on. He also didn't put a towel or anything down on the nail station, and I could feel dust/dirt on the station with my fingers. A couple of the tips he applied don't fit my nails very well, which is frustrating. He really didn't take the time to measure them well either. I feel like some of the mistakes could have been fixed had he looked at my cuticles or filed my nails a bit. His gel work was also a little sloppy. Those of you who have had gel know you can't let the clear polish pool in the sides of your nails, or it'll cure hard and not look great. That happened on a few nails. Overall, they're decent, but I wouldn't go back. I'll go somewhere else for a fill or new set. P.S., $40 for a full set of nude coffin shaped nails. read more

This place is awesome! After moving to the suburbs from the city, I had a bit of sticker shock over the higher prices but this place is worth it. They give the most amazing massages (feet, legs, arms, and hands) with their mani-pedis and take a lot of care when doing your nails. I definitely recommend this place if you want to take an hour or two to relax and pamper yourself. read more
