    Nails by Kristina.
    Irina Y.

    Got my nail done by Kristina and loved it. She listened and she did it exactly how I wanted it - shape, thickness, and color. Will definitely come again.

    less filing scratches/marks on tips, but unfortunately not almond shaped.

    Wahhh I hate to write this review because I love this place so much but my latest experience here warrants a review. I should have known better but NTS: don't book with a beginner nail tech... unless you want a 3 hr nail appointment for a single color, a nail tech that doesn't know how to shape almond nails, and the tech having to ask another tech to give a lesson on how to do the almond shape. I've came here plenty of times before but I was always with a senior nail tech because I usually get designs. This time around I only wanted a single color. I took a gamble with a beginner nail tech because I felt like the quality/service I received in the past was good. In the 3 hours I was there, all the techs had serviced 2 clients. I get being detail oriented but at the end of it, the finished product wasn't even good. I don't want to shade the nail tech but she definitely needed more training than what was under her belt, and personally felt that she should not have been able to take customers based on her skill level. My left hand was shaped well but there are so many obviously file marks. On the right hand, the nails are not at all shaped like almond, I needed to reshape/refile when I got home (see photos).

    This nail shop completely changed my relationship with getting my nails done. Their specialty is dry Russian manicures, and the level of meticulous cuticle care is unlike anything I've experienced. Every step is intentional, gentle, and focused on nail health--not just appearance. I used to avoid nail appointments because traditional techniques damaged my nails and the removal process was painful, with excessive filing that left my nails thin and sore. Here, that never happens. Since coming here, my nail health has genuinely improved--stronger, healthier, and pain-free. On top of that, they are always up to date with trends and incredibly creative. I trust them completely--I can literally say "do whatever you want," and they never disappoint. If you care about both nail health and beautiful, on-trend designs, this place is unmatched. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

    I've been coming here for a few months non stop. Every time it is better than the last. Today I had the pleasure of getting my nails done by Christina. A++++++++ perfection

    I called to book an appointment for my birthday. I requested a nail artist because I told the person over the phone I wanted a birthday nail artist my appointment was 11 I asked for 4 stars one on each finger my tech was struggling to create a star so I told her to just forget about it at this time it was 12:50pm I left out with one not so good star that I was charged for and was given a horrible excuse why my stars couldn't get done she said she would have needed 2 hours. and she wrote down the names of people who actually do nail art but I feel that should have been given to me at booking I was disappointed poor customer service

    Thank you so much for the opportunity to be a model at your salon. Such a lovely atmosphere and a beautiful result. Wishing you great success and many happy clients!

    I wanted to update my review because I truly love this salon. My nails consistently last four to five weeks and still look great. The team is always so sweet, attentive, and welcoming. Every visit feels relaxed and cared for, and I always leave happy with my nails. I recommend them every chance I get.

    If you are in need of an amazing dry e-file Russian pedicure, Level Up is the only place in the Bay that can get it done. The entire place is spotless, cute decor, and they even have their Yelp reviews blown up in frames -- the confidence! Appointments are easy to make online and you don't need to deposit anything. The staff are calm, on time, and meticulous with their work. What's not to love?

    I'm 10+ manicures in between Lafayette and Walnut Creek locations. Can't speak highly enough about the QUALITY of the mani. Pricey, yes it is. However, only coming 1x a month as opposed to 2x a month with a traditional gel mani so, its all averages out. NO chipping, NO broken nails. DURABLE!! And cuticles stay right for the entire month! No hand massage like traditional manicure so don't expect that. But do expect a flawless, durable service that will last the entire month. Olga (top nail tech) does an amazing job.

    "I had an amazing experience with Zarina! She is a true professional with great attention to detail. My nails look absolutely perfect, and the shape is exactly what I wanted. The quality of her work is top-notch -- no chips or lifting even after weeks. Highly recommend her to everyone!"

    The most beautiful nails I ever had !!!!

    See all

Personally, since I have small nail beds the shape is perfect, the polish is smooth, and the builder gel feels strong without being too thick. The pedicure was just as amazing, super thorough and left my feet feeling brand new. Both of my technicians (Andy, Anna) took their time, paid attention to detail, and made sure I loved the final look. I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

Several of my nails are lopsided and uneven, and toward the end of the appointment I honestly just wanted to leave. The cuticle clipping was very aggressive, I felt stinging afterward, which shouldn't happen. A large portion of the service (the last 30-35 minutes) was spent filing and clipping, which was frustrating because these issues could have been addressed properly from the beginning. When it came to the color, I could tell early on that it wasn't going the way I wanted. Each time I tried to look between coats, I was rushed to put my hand under the light and told to check after. I ultimately had to ask for a third coat because there were still visible patchy areas. It was clear she didn't like this. Otherwise, she would have gone straight to top coat with the uneven color still visible. The application itself felt sloppy. There are visible gaps between my nail bed and where the polish starts, making the manicure look grown out already. On my pinky, there were also gaps along the sides. When I pointed this out, she started to aggressively file and remove, starting to take off the polish entirely and even moving on to another nail. At that point, it had already been over an hour and 20 minutes and I needed to leave, so I had to stop her and explain that wasn't what I was asking for. She then began mumbling to herself, which added to the uncomfortable experience. I do give her credit for trying to fix the issues, but by that point we were far too gone, and the overall experience felt rushed (but drawn out for not reason) and uncomfortable.

I bring in inspiration photos or ideas and he always executes them perfectly sometimes even better than I imagined. My nails are always shaped flawlessly and I get nonstop compliments every single time. What really sets this place apart is the atmosphere. Every employee is kind friendly and professional and you can tell they genuinely enjoy working together. It creates such a happy relaxing environment which is rare to find. I never feel rushed and I always leave feeling calm and taken care of. I also love that this is a place my whole family enjoys.
