This place is by appointment only and she locks the door for safety so be sure to knock. It's a small salon and it's quiet which makes it more relaxing, like a spa. I appreciate the attention to detail and Linh taking her time even for a simple pedicure. I appreciate that she accepts Zelle or Venmo too, so much easier. The service was cheaper than usual too. Can't wait to come back to Linh and do dip so my natural nails can grow longer! read more

I have to give the owner Linh a lot of credit for keeping her small business afloat for almost a year into the pandemic. She bought this nail shop about six months before COVID shut down so many non-essential stores and services, but Linh has always kept her space well maintained, stocked up and very clean. Since she is the only nail artist working, only one customer is usually allowed in the shop at a time, which ensures social distancing is enforced. If an appointment is running over, it's only for a short period of time and there is still plenty of room to keep 6' apart. No walk-ins are taken, as far as I'm aware. I hadn't gotten my nails done in months, so I was long overdue for services. I got a regular pedicure and powder dip for my nails. The massage chair and pedicure were definitely relaxing and much needed. Linh took her time but was very efficient with the pedicure, which included a 5-minute foot and calf massage. I never tried the powder dip in the past, but she explained how much more durable and long lasting it is versus gel, my usual go-to. Dip doesn't require curing under a UV light till the top coat is finally applied. I picked a super sparkly gold color since I was headed to Vegas for the weekend to celebrate a birthday. There is a lot of sanding and buffing, so I'm glad we had on masks and a plexiglass shield to barricade some of the dust. My total came out to $74, not including tip, and I spent almost 90 minutes at the shop. I enjoyed my mini self-care session and will be back for sure. read more

Lavender Nails - Powder dip glittery gold - Nail Salons Near Me - Pinole, California

Such a hidden gem! I have been searching for a salon that does Dip Powder Nails and I'm so happy I came across this salon. I've gotten acrylic gel for many years but wanted something healthier and budget friendly too! This is appointment only and only one customer at a time which is something different and a plus! The salon was quiet, very clean and welcoming. The owner herself is the only one working there and is amazing. She takes her time with her work and you don't feel rushed at all. I also appreciate that she explained the process and also what to expect given that it was my first time and my nails were very short. The results did not disappoint!! read more

Linh is awesome! She was my nail tech years ago and yesterday I made an appointment and voila, she's the owner! Very talented and detail oriented. I'm picky and have tried many many nail shops over the years and Linh is the best I've come across. She can do nails with all the artwork and designs that are the fashion or classic sets that I do. Tips, Gel, Acrylic, Dip Powder... the list goes on and on. Great pedicures too! Please come try her out and support this small business! read more

I just moved to the Pinole area and a friend recommended me this place. I have finally found THE nails place to go!! I called and she gave me an appointment the same day.

I am in love with how natural and healthy my nails look I definitely recommend coming to Lindsay. read more

Lavender Nails - Gel manicure and pedicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Pinole, California

I came here for a manicure and pedicure with my friend for our birthdays and it is a cute little shop. We called and made an appointment ahead of time and got traditional manicure and pedicure for both of us. I chose to try gel polish and was amazed at the time. Everything looked even and amazing but when my nails grew longer it was no longer fun. I think I will stick to regular polish from now on. But that aside, I will definitely come back because the couple that owns the salon is so nice and friendly and they are close to home. read more

I've been going to Lindsey for a few years now when she was at Julie's and followed her to her own shop! She is so detailed and takes her time on your nails. She's so easy to talk to and very honest when you have a question about choosing a color. I always let her freestyle on my nails and she never disappoints, I'm always happy with the outcome! I would highly recommend going to her! As of right now for COVID precautions, she is only taking appointments and no walk-ins. When you are there for your appointment, it's only you and her as well. read more

Linh takes time with her clients and pays attention to detail. Her shop is always clean, comfortable and quiet.

My friend refered me this place (actually is very close to my home) and since then, it became my go to nail salon! Jessica is so creative and talented, yes, she can do Nail ART! I mostly show her pictures and tell her that I want it for my hands and toes, and she nailed it. She listened her customers ideas and/requests. Also, I don't know why it's last longer than I usually had from other nail salons (I always have gels tho). Last month, My friend and I told her that we want Christmas and winter style, Yeap, she did it! It's been almost 1 month, and still not chipped, tho I cook and wash the dishes without gloves. However, it gets ugly as my nail is growing, so, it's time to book for another appointment. read more

Very cute space with easy parking. $25 for a regular pedicure is about the going rate. Walk-ins are welcomed but because this is such a small space I wouldn't dare pop up, unless it's early on a Monday (I came at 10:30a and was asked to return at 11). Lucky for me no one else was there during my visit so I received full attention and the gentleman there did a great job. Very nice space to be pampered and relax. Next time I'll make an appointment! read more

Finally found my new nail tech! After going to several different places around the East Bay, nail techs were either rude but did a good job or nice but did an okay job. Lindsay was so nice and did my nails so perfectly! She was super gentle but detailed in her work! I love that she took her time with me and even cleaned my cuticles! She made great conversation as well and made me feel really comfortable! I'm so happy she's so close to home and now I can finally go to someone that's efficient and kind! She does want people to make appointments so keep that in mind when calling! I showed her a picture of the color I wanted and she nailed it! She even talked to me about different nail procedures and everything. I'm so happy I found my nail tech! read more

Lindsay has been my nail tech for over 2 years; I met her when she was across @ Julies. She does an amazing job with my mani pedis. When I was wearing acrylics I would ALWAYS receive compliments. If shape is important to you, I promise Lindsay is your girl !'ve tried many nail techs but Lindsay is really the TRUTH Her work is very precise, neat and she's VERY gentle (this is also huge plus for me). I could go on about how great she is but you'd have to see for yourself lol She works along side Travis, who was also @ Julies & they are both great. I love how intimate & relaxed the shop feels. Call ahead of time so you can book the exact service you'd like. read more

I LOVE coming to Lavender Nails! Thanks to the recommendation from my friend, Zina. Jessica, is so talented, professional and so precise with her nail art. Easily, one of the best manicurists I have ever been to. Anything I see on Pinterest I can request it here, not a problem. If you are looking for ways to treat yourself...look no further. Congratulations! You've found it! read more

Lavender Nails - Love my nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Pinole, California

I've been going here for so long now! Jessica is the best! She always has so many gel and powder options. Her work is very clean and my nails always feel and look so much better after a mani-pedi! I pay about $40 for a gel manicure plus regular pedicure. Not too bad in my opinion. Be sure to make an appointment beforehand or give her a call before coming in because she gets busy! I'm a loyal customer and I highly recommend this place for some much needed self-care. read more

I have all of my mani pedis and lashes done at Lavender Nails. You couldn't find a better place to get your lashes done by a true expert, Kelly. Everyone here is so friendly, helpful, experienced, and efficient. I can't recommend this place more highly! read more

Although I have never been to this place, and it was highly recommended, I am going to give it one star due to never answering their phone. I called one time back in December and someone answered and said they were booked through the New Year and to call back. I have been calling since the middle of January periodically and no one has answered the phone no matter the time of day, and you cannot leave a voicemail. I understand this is a small nail salon with one nail tech, that is fine, but at least answer the phone and tell me you are busy, booked, or no longer doing nails outside of your regular clients so I wont waste my time calling. read more

I love this nail shop so much great work very kind I've been coming here for a long time

Now that some businesses are slowly opening I decide to see if I could get an appointment here based on a friend's recommendation. I drove 30 min to this shop and was met by Lindsey who was professional, on time, and friendly. This being my first eyebrow and facial I was a bit apprehensive but she out my fears to rest. The shop was clean, comfortable and smelled nice. The results if my facial were amazing! Highly recommended read more

I am currently getting a pedicure as I write this review and have to say how happy to have found this place through Yelp!

Called this morning to see if I could come in for two people the lady said "no not now" I asked when she said at 2pm. She asked for my name and that was the end of the conversation. When we got to the salon there was a man and a lady, the lady was giving a pedicure, so I checked in with the man, I said I had an appointment for 2 pedicures at 2pm he sent us over to pick out a colored polish. As we were picking out color the man came over and said they only had 1 appointment for a pedicure, I said I called in for 2 pedicures and then he said they can only do 1. Anyways we decided to leave because we're not gonna just have one person sit out. They lost business today and in the future. read more

When I first showed up and the owner heard that I had a Groupon, she didn't seem too pleased. She told me that it would cost $5 extra for my French tips, which I was more than ok with because most places charge $3-$5 for tips. However, when she told me that she would charge me another $5 to remove the old gel from my nails, I was quite surprised. I actually made a comment about being a first time customer, even though I'm using a Groupon...wouldn't she at least do it so I would come back again as a regular? She was unhappy so I said "that's fine!" The person doing my pedicure was quite friendly as she could tell from the tone of my voice that I was quite displeased with the $5 charge for my color removal. In all honesty, I've spent more money on a cup of coffee at Starbucks, so it wasn't the $5 that made me disappointed...it was more her tone and the reply seemed so rude. Any way, as we keep going, since I was the only customer in there, the atmosphere seemed to have gotten better because the person doing my pedicure kept doing her best to make small talks and smiled at me often. I will pay extra money for good service, but I won't pay just because she felt that she was losing money on the Groupon offer. Isn't the point of putting yourself out there in hopes of getting new customers who will eventually turn into loyal customers? I'm definitely one to give a new business the benefit of the doubt because I understand how hard it is to grow customer basis during your first year that's why I bought the offer even though I saw all the negative feedbacks. However, this place has lost my business forever even though I liked the way my nails looked after everything's been said and done... Wish I could say that I'll be back, but I guess I'll have to go back to Julie's even though they are super busy during my break and I can hardly make time to go see her. 4 stars for good work and person doing my pedicure -1 star for attitude of owner read more

Very cute nail shop with great service! First I will say, don't let the older reviews (older than about 5 months ago) deter you from trying them out this salon is under new management. Came in this weekend for two dip manicures and had a great experience. My nails look awesome. read more

So.. I guess this nail place needs more money because WHY would I be getting charged 15 dollars for a regular manicure ?!?! I'm very disappointed and I will be going somewhere else from now on. Besides.. having only one person that does a good manicure is ridiculous! HIRE GOOD MANICURIST!! read more

I would not recommend this place or go back to this place ever again even if they gave me one free manicure. I went in for a gel polish change. The lady who helped me, Tammy was very unpleasant and unwelcoming. She complained and sighed the entire time as she was removing the gel polish from each of my nails. After she was done complaining (about 1 hr) from removing my gel polish, I was already ready to leave by this time, I told her to give me a regular manicure instead of a gel mani. Not even 1 hour later, my polish got messed up because she did too many thick layers and it would not dry, she seems inexperienced to me. They should hire better manicurist and more friendly employees. Such a waste of my time and money going here. read more

A hidden gem!!! Tried this place for the first time last night....loved it! I have tried to get in this place twice before but was turned away, so I will admit I was discouraged and cautious when I stopped by last night. However, I found out that Jessica is the only nail tech here, so she recommends making an appointment. No big deal, I will be back. My sis and mom in law have been coming here for a while, and I can understand why! Atmosphere is quiet, not a bunch of chatter, unless you want to. She creates a relaxing environment. Both pedi and shellac mani were good quality, it didn't feel rushed at all. Price for both, $40. Very good! read more

My manicure sucked. The lady that did my nails was not the owner, she was rough on my cuticles, did not trim them off, she ripped them off. Having a bad day? Gheez. Then nail polish time, once my nails dried they had bubbles all over them? Too thick? too many layers...maybe... read more
