Okay, I love this place! I typically go to the same nail salon and when I find a good one I stay there. I've been going to my last one for years now. Due to Covid everything was shut down so I stopped going. I was looking for a new one to go to. One closer to home. I found this one on yelp and when I called the husband and wife were very nice and I said it was appointment only and cash only. Which was a problem and they told me to call a day before to make an appointment. It was so easy to do. When I arrived they open the door and greeted me in very nicely I had hand sanitizer at my reach when I went to the door. Everything was so clean it was a hot day and the air-conditioning was on inside which was very comfortable. The owners were so nice. During this time I was very concerned about going to certain places especially to salons. However I am glad I have chose this one as it was so clean and I felt very comfortable being in this place. . I really like supporting this place especially because it is family owned her husband helps her which is really nice and with the cleaning and making sure that things are very clean. I noticed this firsthand as once I was done getting a pedicure and Lena was doing the manicure. That has been clean my seat in my area where I was at right away and sanitized it washed everything wiped it down very good so I did feel really safe and comfortable going to this nail salon as they are very cautious and taking precautions. Also my nails turned out great! Way beyond expectations. I typically get gel but I went for a regular polish. Lena did my nails so very good they looked and feel like gel nails. read more

What an amazing first time experience we had at Lena's nail shop on today. You know that feeling when people treat you like a "transaction" and not like a "human being?" Well, that was NOT the case at Lena's shop! From beginning to end, both her and her husband treated us with kindness, professionalism, and provided great service. Lena certainly takes her time with your nails to make sure that you are a satisfied customer. Her attention to detail and thoroughness speaks in the end results of her work.

I've been coming to Lena's for years. My mom and I love coming here for our pedicures. Lena is great, she provides excellent service and great quality work. Lena is extremely kind and friendly. They are by appointment only so I do recommend calling. Her shop is always neat and clean and I have never worried about her sanitizing her equipment. My mom and I always leave happy and pleased with our pedicures. read more

Very lucky that Lena let me do a walk-in, as she only takes appointments. I was greeted at the door by her and her kind husband and they were flexible enough to take me in for a pedicure. I enjoyed the privacy and how fresh it feels inside. I had an ingrown and Lena worked her magic and my foot felt relieved immediately. This is my new go-to and I recommend you check them out. I'll be back ! read more

Made an appt the day prior and was able to come in the next day. Got a gel mani. Mani came out wonderfully. It was my first time visiting this place. All the covid precautions were taken. I was the only customer inside during my visit, masks were worn, face shields & gloves. Sanitizer for your hands were used by both Lena and myself. I was tempted to get a pedi, but I was short on time. I'll definitely be back! read more

Lena's Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Richmond, California

Lena is so down to earth. I just moved to San Pablo in October and was looking for a new nail salon. I'm really picky and most nail salon techs don't really spend time to perfect my hands and feet for me like Lena does. She's very professional and she's very caring. Just like she is family. It's my second time here and every time I come she's always so welcome and it's a family owned business. Her husband is also so nice and kind. The service that they give I've never experienced anywhere else. She takes her time to clip and scrub all my cuticles and calluses and gives the best massages when I request for pedicures. She always goes through and details everything. Well deserved 5 star! I was referred from a friend and will be recommending and referring to whoever I know to go to her. She's the best! Also her pricing is very cheap. Other places I've been to always charges me more and always tries to convince me to do something different. Lena is a sweetheart love her! read more

I just moved to the Bay about 3 weeks ago and I'm sure you can empathize with how hard it is to find a person that does your nails how you like them. Lena and her husband are the sweetest couple ever. They are adorable to watch and are truly a team. Lena took her time and was very meticulous with my pedicure and my fill. She checked with me about the shape of my nails several times and really listened to what I was looking for. I've never seen that before. The pedicure was easily the best I've ever had - just so well done. Ricky, her husband, pulled out the chair for me, welcomed me, and repeatedly thanked me for coming. I paid $45 for a pedi and a fill. Totally worth it! The shop is tiny and she got booked for the day just in the time I was getting my nails done so call for an appointment or you probably won't get Lena. read more

Lena is very sweet pedicures are amazing she uses a scrub, hot rocks, and a messages only for $20!!! You feet are super soft after words. I get acrylic nails and she always does them really well and they last. I was able to bring a design on my phone that I liked and she imitated it well. read more

Lena's Nails - Love it - Nail Salons Near Me - Richmond, California

I stand firmly on what I said about you and your salon. The day that you claimed I yelled at you, there was another person there that witnessed the whole entire thing of you being rude and yelling at me for putting my phone on the other chair. I would never put a review here that is not true, I have a few of your customers that are willing to add to my comment. In case you didn't notice this page is for writing reviews good or bad, it is my right to write a review, good or bad. Yes, it is true what you and your husband do and whatever problem you have it is between the two of you, however, when you bring that problem to work and do it in front of the customers then it becomes our problem as we have to witness domestic violence seeing you yelling, denigrating, hitting him with a broom, kicking him, that is very uncomfortable to see and witness.......that is called in case you didn't know Domestic Violence, very rare to see a woman being the abuser. I went to Lena for two year, she is the first only one that was able to help me out with my ingrown toe nail, however, she is rude, she is very moody, and yells at you if you put your phone or any item on the other chairs. She abuses her husband kicks him, yells at him, kicks him, hits him with the broom, very embarrassing i feel bad for him. I have not been there in 7 months and i will never go back to her. If you're paying with a credit card Lena charges you extra 3 dollars for using a credit card. One of the times i was there another lady came and asked her how much for the pedicure, Lena had asked me not to say anything because she was charging me 23 for a pedi and she charged the other lady 4 dollars more. I do not recommend Lena, she is very rude and not polite at all read more

My mom had a pedicure done by Lena. She was very pleased and she is hard to please. The only inconvenience is that you need to call them to confirm the day before, but I consider it pretty minor. read more

I paid Lena and her husband a second visit today. My schedule is quite hectic so whenever I can squeeze a mani/pedi in, I will do so. I appreciate how lienant she is, always welcoming me w/ open arms no matter how last minute I call in. She even took her time... Thank you!!! I got the (spa) gel Mani/pedi today. I was a bit skeptical at first w/ the hot stones during my pedi, but I must admit it...it felt (strangely) good! Very relaxing! Lord knows I needed that!!! She got my crusty feet feeling and looking revived lol Totally worth the $50! She works alone for the most part so calling ahead is recommended. Both Lena and her husband are genuinely sweet people and they deserve a chance. Book your appointments Now! read more

Lena and her husband are so sweet and welcoming! He walked us in and out. Lena was so nice. Lena definitely takes her time while doing your nails even when other costumers come in. I appreciate that she doesn't rush it with you to get to her next costumer. She takes her time and meticulously paints your nails. Great massage chairs! I will come back The nail salon is very clean. Lena opens a new package of tools to use on you which is a nice touch! *it's better to come by appointment. She does take walk ins, but rarely. I like that the place is small because the service feels catered to you. read more

So happy I was one the first customer that Lena has when she first open. She has always done the best job when it comes to doing all my nail services. The deluxe packages the one I always get. Hot stone massage is the best. She really pays attention to detail. I always make my appointment and me having a busy schedule, always works with me to get me in. I strongly recommend all the fellas to come cuz women will always appreciate it lol. She is the best in the rich!!! Check her out!!! read more

I have had many pedicures all over the place and who would have known that one of my faves would end up being in Richmond. First off, Lena wins the award for sweetest person ever. I felt like she actually cared lol. I got a deluxe pedicure and she took her time and made sure everything was perfect. She used a scrub, hot stones, and paraffin wax. I was impressed with how nicely she painted my toes and the over all experience. My hooves feel more like nice soft feet now lol. I highly recommend coming here and I will be coming here from now on for my pedis. read more

What a cute little nail salon! A friend of mine was hating on my chipped mani and pedi so I was in need of fresh ones. I didn't want to go to Nails by Vivian in El Cerrito and pay bank for a mani and pedi so I yelped some nail salons around Richmond. Lena's Nails was the first on the list with 4 stars, aside from being newly opened, there were a few good ratings. Lena was the only cosmetologist working and there were two people in front of me, so I had to wait about an hour to be seen but it was fine, she was multitasking quite efficiently. She had me soak my grimy feet while she helped a customer. The massage chair was wonderful, it sure loosened up a lot of knots on my neck and shoulders, I almost fell asleep! Pedi: Sea salt and sugar rub, hot stone massage - YES PLEASE! Wow! It felt so good when she was rubbing the hot stone on my legs and feet, never had that done before. Definitely a great way to pamper your customers! Mani: I got a gel mani. Lena was so precise and careful and did a wonderful job. I love my nails! I was expecting a hot stone massage on my arms as well! Just kidding. I was her last customer, I didn't want her to stay too long after closing time. Overall, a great little nail salon that gives you great service. See you in two weeks, Lena! read more

Lena is sweet. We were waiting to get our car to get shipped at VPC. Since the long wait, I needed a pedi, I yelped this place. Easy to find. It's small but comfy. What I love most about this place was that she use sea salt for a scrub and hot stone. She went the whole nine yards! And best part! It was only 20$ She is an awesome job. read more

Friendly service, don't get me wrong but my shellac chipped in a few days! I cannot go back. With the prices higher than other spots in Richmond it isn't worth the friendly conversation if your $60 nails don't last til the next week. read more

I've been coming here since October and Lena has not disappointed me. The shop is clean and cozy. Lena and her husband Ricky are extremely kind and really do care about the customers. I have definitely found my new nail shop after going to horrible A-1 Nails for years. What keeps me coming back is Lena's patience and her ability to get the job done right the first time. She has an ample selection of polishes and she keeps up to date with the newest trends in shades. The pedicures are extremely relaxing. She uses a sea salt scrub and finishes the pedicure with hot stones in addition to the hot towel. I've never experienced either treatments at other nail shops. I've never had any issues with scheduling an appointment with Lena. If she's not available then she will let you know up front. She will say come another day or come at a certain time and she is always available. My only recommendation that you call ahead of time to make sure there's no one already in her chair. This is a one woman ran mail shop after all. Once she provides the services you need, she will not disappoint. Like I said she is clean, and thorough. read more

My first time visiting this lovely small shop (2 pedi chairs and 1 mani station) and I loved it! I will absolutely return. A very sweet and engaging couple own and run the place. They are both welcoming and professional. Lena takes her time ensuring she does as best of a job as possible for you. They have a wide variety of nail polishes (gel/non gel) and use hot stones for their pedis! A super cool and unexpected perk during my visit was Lena carefully removing parts of some of my toe nails that had become ingrown and slightly uncomfortable. She was gentle, persistent and successful! Her husband is also on top of things making sure customers were comfortable and pampered. Overall great experience! read more

Lena's Nails - Color: Just breath 111. - Nail Salons Near Me - Richmond, California

Customer service was great, but never have I ever paid so much and spent so much time for awful nails. They started on me right away and it still took 2.5+ hours? All I wanted was a full set, simple white nails and a pedicure. First of all, when she did my pedicure, she seemed to care more about my personal life than the fact that I was saying "OW" as she jabbed a nail tool in my toe and made it bleed. Yes, BLEED. Then she went in for the acrylics and let me just say, I've never been so dissatisfied. They were badly shaped, different sizes, LUMPY, inconsistent, and didn't even last a week. Personally, I take care of my nails. There was no reason for whole nails to come off like it did. I highly suggest not coming here unless all you want is decent conversation, and a whole lot of disappointment. read more

I was referred here by my sister in law and thought it was a very clean and nice place. I came for a second time with my 4 month old daughter. She was very rude. She told me that I couldn't hold my daughter (whom I was trying to feed) and that I had to keep her in the car seat. So of course she cried the whole time. She seemed aggravated by the fact that she was crying and told me "next time find a babysitter".I felt rushed out of the chair. When she was finished I sat on the couch so my feet could dry. She started to yell and be VERY rude to her husband about not drying the pedicure bowl right. I felt bad for him because he's such a nice man. I felt very uncomfortable and will not be back again. read more

Such a great job on my gel mani pedi. She even uses hot stones and hot towels on your legs and feet. So good!! My toe nails are super short and she still painted them without getting any polish around the skin. She also has over 300 polish colors to choose from. Even MOOD CHANGING GEL COLOR!! Omg I'm in love with mine. Her her husband runs the shop as well and they are both so attentive and welcoming. I changed my mind about three times about polish colors, and they were very patient. That was cool. Found my new nail shop! read more
