I have gotten my nails done several times here and recently came here for a manicure and while I love the color I was disappointed with the service. My technician cut me while cutting my cuticles, not uncommon for manicures, however rather than treating the cut she moved on as though nothing had happened. At one point she even wiped the blood off in her finger and that was the closest thing to treating the cut. When I left I had a cut fiver with dried blood and now rather than having a great manicure I have a finger covered by a bandaid and have been treating it for days to prevent infection as it began to ooz when I got home. Very dissatisfied with the hygiene of this and makes me concerned about how other things are cleaned because she had no problem getting tools near the blood of my cut. GROSS!! I won't be coming back again. read more

Just dropped in and the service was on point!! Very friendly and didn't hesitate to accept me as a walk-in, ever though they were busy. I will be back! read more

I had been told by some "locals" this was the place to go for nails. I have been sporting "nails" since getting married and have not been particularly happy with the fills I have gotten at the shop I had them put on at, so I decided to come here. I called on Saturday morning to make an appointment for the afternoon. I was given a 4:00 appointment time, arrived a few minutes before and waited until about 4:20 to be seen. This normally would have annoyed me, but because it was the day before Easter, I was more forgiving because of all the little bitty's that were there to get their nails did. The shop is small-6 pedicure chairs and 6 nail stations. The prices are cheaper than my other place and my nails look damn good (even hubby thinks so). I think I may have found my nail spot! About time too! read more

Alright, this is my third time here, so it's not a fluke. This place is great. Nancy is absolutely phenomenal. She's funny, she listens to exactly what you want, even if you are an indecisive pain in the butt sometimes like me. ;) I'm NOT nice to my nails, but when Nancy does them, they stay on VERY well, and hold up no matter my power tool-wielding shenanigans. This is genuinely the nicest my nails have ever looked. Classy, not fake looking... I freaking love this woman. Got a pedicure today as well. Susan makes my feet very happy. She's finishing up now. Not sure what they are talking about, but I'm relatively certain it's a conversation regarding how much they totally appreciate me forgetting to shave my legs today. If not, I would be severely disappointed. Because I feel like a porcupine, and Susan is being such a champ. read more

This place is consistantly great! I got the most fantastic pedicure today. There was like a 10 min massage, a great soak, and I even got a beautiful flower on my big toes. I also get my acrylics done here, and they always do a beautiful job. I swear, these people are perfectionists! read more

Livery Nails - My sexy toes - Nail Salons Near Me - Danville, California

First time here and just finished a gel mani/regular pedi on a Tuesday 12:30p appointment. I called and they booked me within an hour. I had a great experience! Sure, the place doesn't look fancy. But they have to keep the bottom line too. Right amount of staff, great price, all necessary sanitation equipment and tools. I know they sanitize well, I can smell bleach in their laundry as they load them in the dryer. If it were a fancy looking salon, you'll probably feel it on your bill. I've been to those kinds of salons, but quality of service means more to me. The ladies took their time especially with the pedi. I find that other places are always in a hurry for the next customer. But here, they took their time and cleaned in and out of my toenails well, exfoliated and massaged my legs and ended with a warm towel wrap. The ladies are very polite, and they have tons of colors to choose from. They even organized most of the color samples by polish brands in case you have a preference on certain brands. I travelled a little out of my neighborhood in Dublin to try this out, in search of a better nail salon. I was not disappointed! I'd be coming back for my next one here. Not sure how busy it gets on a Friday afternoon or weekends but I'll find a way to make an appointment with my busy-working-mom schedule. Hope to get the same great experience next time read more

Livery Nails - My relaxed feet after a great pedi! - Nail Salons Near Me - Danville, California

I was quoted $30. for my boyfriend's birthday manicure/pedicure, so of course I knew this wasn't going to a spa experience. An older woman worked on him and she seemed very nice. When he was done he told me he enjoyed the services and said she did a nice job. One of the reasons I thought of a manicure for him was because he has vertical ridges on his nails. Afterward, I noticed they didn't look like they had been buffed at all so I politely asked if she would do that and boy, was she pissed! Apparently she she grabbed his hand so hard she jammed her nails into his hand while she angrily buffed his nails for a minute. Then she told me she was going to charge me an extra $2 because she had to do that. The place has poor ventilation and does a lot of acrylic nails. Also there was no water to drink. Even though I was recommended by a friend and I'm glad he enjoyed his first ever manicure/pedicure, we've both decided not to go back. read more

Great little spot. Had time to spare and Amy took great care of my pedicure and even removed the nail polish on my finger nails from testing out other colors. They use Opi polish which is awesome. Pedicure was only $22 which I thought was reasonable. Amy entertained as well. She made me laugh. read more

The first time I went to this nail salon I did not have a good experience. First the man who works there started on my nails, I decided to get acrylics. He seemed very annoyed and was rude. Then he passed me on to another woman. While doing my nails I noticed that one nail looked a little sideways so I mentioned it. She looked at me then looked at my nail then told me it's my finger that is sideways! Really??!!? My finger is sideways? I told her no it's the nail so then she fixed it. I totally hated my first experience here. Then I did decide to try this place out another time to see if it would be different. I received the same woman as last time and she was still fairly rude. The man who helped me the last time would hover around her occasionally talking to her. It made me feel very uncomfortable. I wasn't very pleased with the job they did on my nails. This was my worst experience at a nail salon. Both times I went I felt hesitant to even ask if they could file my nails down more or shorten them. I do not recommended this place. read more

I went here because they had great reviews and when I called their gel polish rate was $5 less than other locals prices. I had called specifically to make an appointment with Tran, and when I arrived for my appointment- he pushed me off into another girl because he had taken in another client. I asked her for French tip gel nails but with black instead of white. I guess this is unheard of because she gave me a crazy look and we off in her language to the other girl working there. She complained the whole time she was doing my nails that the black tips were so hard to do, and she re-did them twice. She never filed my nails at all prior to the gel polish and she had a hard time simply painting the polish on without bubbles or mistakes. In the end, my nails look ok from far away but not good up close. I even went back, hesitantly, because two of my nails had broke and I wanted to have them re-done to look like the rest. I got the same girl and she did an even WORSE job on my two nails then she did last time. I'm done, sometimes paying a few more dollars really makes a difference. Maybe they do good Mani/pedi's but I don't recommend them for gel at all. read more

My most important criteria for good pedi: don't hurt me, great massage and stay within the lines. Pedi looks okay (just okay - she didn't do the handy trick where they clean up lines with brush), but she kept stabbing me with the pedi tools, was rubbing the cuticle stick halfway down my toe where it has no purpose and the massage was terrible - felt more like she was just trying to rub lotion into my legs. To top off an already lousy visit: usually when I get pedis at other places they literally run over to me when they see me trying to put on flip flops to make sure I don't mess anything up. Nope: I was left alone to do myself. read more

Manicurist, Mo, did an impeccable job turning my broken, thin nails into a classy, presentable French style. She used care and great attention to detail. The salon was very professional to speak to over the phone and they were prepared for my appointment. Livery was priced a few dollars cheaper than my normal spot, which was a plus. Going back for sure and definitely recommend! read more

Tran and his crew are amazing!!!!! Kathy has been doing my nails for about 4 years and I don't let anyone else touch my hands or feet. I live in san francisco, and I come to danville 1 or 2 days a week. There's a thousand salons in the city, but i stick with Livery nails. The place is immaculate, and they follow all the rules and regs that have been put in place. FIVE STARS ISN'T ENOUGH read more

I love Tran! I started going to him over 4 years ago when he worked in Dublin, then he bought over Livery Nails in Danville a couple years ago& I just had to follow. I get the pink/white gels & I can easily go 3 weeks with rarely any chips or breaks (and I am not easy on my nails). I haven't had many pedi's done but the few I have gotten have lasted very long, even with a lot of time playing in the sand. Prices are low, service is great, nails are awesome. Tran and the ladies are very nice, making small talk with all the customers, and very quickly you become a regular who he and the ladies know by name and how you like your nails done. read more

This place is not my go to place, but if you want cheap and good looking than go here. But if you want enjoyment then this isn't your best option. Their massage didn't really feel that good it was really hard on my arms and they were kind of rude and one of my nail ladies were singing while they were doing my nails so it wasn't as relaxing but my nails turned out really nice. I got my toes and nails done for 32$ and 4$ tip for the lady. read more

Very pleased with this shop. I've switched over from acrylic nails to shellac. Had tried shellac last year and was SO disappointed with the results as my nails started peeling 2 days after, needless to say I went back to acrylic. Fast forward to 2012, I removed my acrylics and tried out this place for shellac. VERY VERY happy with the results, they actually lasted a full 2 weeks as promised, no way! The best part is the assortment of colors to choose from, they must have at least 100 shades ranging from clear, sparkles to black. Very cool. Only downside is they're like the credit card nazi's....flash your card and you get attitude. First time going in and I wasn't aware of their "no tip on credit cards" policy. Sorry!! I never carry cash EVA. Second time in I made sure I had cash. Gone in both times on a Saturday and was seated within 5 minutes. read more

I've been following the owner Tran since before he was here.. This shop is clean.. Updated.. Comfortable.. They have all new pedi chairs... That are not only beautiful .. But the massage is awesome! They always have new colors and I love the new gel colors for natural nails!!! Lasts soooooooo long! I wish I could Tran and his team 6 stars!! read more

I am new to the area and have been searching for my go to nail salon. Livery Nails definitely isn't it. I initially thought my first experience there might be a one off bad day due to how busy they were so I wanted to give them another opportunity prior to leaving a negative review. Everyone can have a bad or busy day, I get that. I don't like to leave negative reviews for small businesses but I believe if I had read a review like mine I wouldn't have wasted time/money at their salon. I tried their services 3 times and each experience was progressively worse. The vibe and attitude was rude/brusque. There are no posted prices. The nail polish color selections are limited and even when I specifically requested that the nails/toes color match it didn't happen. I showed photos of the colors I was interested in and requested assistance in choosing something similar. I also asked if they could replicate a simple ombre look. Epic fail every time with color. I had an appointment well in advance of each visit there and each time they would take walk in customers and start working on them while also trying to juggle multiple other customers. There is a lot of waiting due to this business practice and a dip manicure/gel pedicure took 3 hours each time I visited. There is a lot of grumbling in another language which seems unreasonable when it is clear they are complaining about customers. I tried this salon based on their good reviews but that was not my experience. They were unpleasant, very overpriced, and too expensive for the quality of the work and service. read more

Thick nails, passé and over priced with a side of grumpy owner Tran. Major pass. They don't listen to you ask for, there are zero smiles and my nails were so thick I'm literally embarrassed of them. The music is nice though. read more

I don't get anything fancy done to my nails- just mani/pedi and I was really happy with Livery Nails- the product looks great and you can't beat the price (it was $35 plus tip). As far as service goes, I went with my mother and mother-in-law, and they were able coordinate us all sitting next to each other. My mom had her hip replaced recently and had to be careful with how she sat, and the girls helped us out in every way they could. I think they could improve the ventilation in the salon- some of the chemical smells were really strong. Also, we had made an appointment the day before for 1:30 pm and definitely didn't get started until 2 (they were busy with holiday drop ins). Overall, our nails look great and we had a fun, relaxing time. I liked their selection of polish colors-- lots of OPI and Essie. I had french tips done on my fingers and they look great, and I can be pretty particular about that. I'm definitely going to return! read more

I love coming here! I'm from Oregon and I can never find a decent nail salon. Livery nails is my go to place. Good prices and awesome nails. I always get compliments on my nails when I come here. Additionally they have a wide range of colors especially for a gel manicure. Pauline did my nails just the way I wanted them. She is kind and patient, she doesn't rush the job. Definitely coming back. read more

Livery Nails - Gel manicure $25 - Nail Salons Near Me - Danville, California

I was in the area for a Dr. Appt and needed a mani so I looked on yelp and came across this place. The pricing was pretty good compared to other nail shops in the area so I walked in for a gel mani. They were able to assist me quickly. It's pretty dated inside. Definitely not fancy which doesn't bother me but it was things like the tools were sanitized and placed in plastic boxes vs plastic sealed bags like other places (I don't know if they've used it on the person before me). They also give you "winter like gloves with the fingers exposed" before they put polish on which I thought was weird. She did "OK" but for the price, I guess I get what I paid for. When I did pay, she kept asking if I was doing cash tip. I didn't have cash and wrote tip down on the receipt and she did not seem happy with that at all! I realized cash she probably can pocket vs split evenly with everyone. Won't be back.. read more

Ok, so recenty I had my nails done and HATED them, so I took them off. Finding a good nail shop is pretty much close to impossible now a days. I don't live in the area, but was on my way to visit my mother for the weekend, and she does. So I decided to yelp some of the local nail shops and came across Livery Nails, which has excellent reviews. I decided to make an appointment. and give it a go, this shop owns up to it's critics. Nancy did my nails, because Tran was booked for the day, and she is a gem. I totally recommend this place, and am proud to drive 35 minutes every three weeks for a fill and pedicure!!!! Definitely worth checking out. read more

Livery Nails - Nails by: Nancy (she's such a sweetie) - Nail Salons Near Me - Danville, California

Very beautiful and peaceful area, a little hard to find because the signage is so similar amongst the shops in the center, but not that difficult! Another plus is the very big parking lot. Was helped right away at 5pm on a Friday evening. Nancy was extremely sweet and so good at giving a great pedicure! I felt very comfortable and was confident that I would get a great pedicure, which I did! A large selection of colors. Love myself a place that has a ton of OPIs to select from! Accepts cash and credit cards, always a plus! $22 for a basic spa pedicure with sea salt. read more

I love this place!! They are so sweet and always make time for me, while also giving me bomb looking nails. I am always so pleased with the quality of their work for the reasonable price. Very nice people, especially Tran who always asks me about my life!! Best nail salon in the area for sure. read more

Great service! Fabulous mani/pedi at a reasonable rate for Danville. Pretty small, but I did not feel squished in or anything. Great massage during my pedi. Will be back! Only issue I wish they would have told me (unless they have a sign and i missed it) was they do not allow tips added on to credit cards. But now I know, no biggie! read more

This salon is down the street from my place. They take appointments but walk-ins are fine as well. There usually isn't too long of a wait. And I almost always try to call ahead. The pedicures I've gotten here usually last about 2-3 weeks and no chips in the polish. read more

Livery Nails - Love this color!! Morgan Taylor's "Met My Match" - Nail Salons Near Me - Danville, California

okay. the shaping is really good. the color is patchy and streaky which ruined the nails for me. my cuticles are also pretty sore and damaged. i also got my old acrylics removed which hurt. they don't do soak off removal, they just slice off the acrylic from the top of your nail, which puts a lot of pressure on the nail and weakens them. i would go here in a pinch to get a set (choosing a different color) but not to get acrylics removed. read more

Great place for a mani/pedi! Really friendly staff and nice color options. I only wish the store was more updated and modern

I have been a regular customer for several years. Yes, they get busy (especially before holidays). Yes, the salon is smaller and (what some people have said) is outdated. But everything is clean and the employees are very efficient and kind. My manicures and pedicures are always beautiful and get compliments on my nails all the time! Keeping things small helps also keep the costs low. As far as a cash tip? Cmon - really? You can understand why they would appreciate this - yes, they do split it evenly. I've been to fancier salons, some with crystal chandeliers, etc. and had terrible service and horrible manicures at a higher price. If you like that sort of thing, then skip coming here, because these ladies are gems! read more

Yuck! This place was terrible. They people were nice but the actual nail service was awful! I got a gel full set applied. They were pretty but... I needed a fill within a week. My nails looked horrible! It looked like i had had them for a month or longer! They were lifting at just a week! I went to another place for my fill. The nail technician asked where i got them done the first time. I told her. She told me to never go back. She was appalled that i had only gotten them a week ago. To sum it up, nice people but terrible work. Not worth the money... at ALL. read more

I received a pedicure at another location a few days ago for my upcoming wedding. During the pedicure elsewhere, I asked the woman giving the pedicure if they could do any little white flowers or designs. Never having gotten designs on my nails before, I didn't totally know what to expect. She drew on a sloppy little white flower that was lopsided and I immediately asked her to take it off. On a whim I decided to check out Livery Nails to see if they offered any designs. I walked in to find a sample board of the many different designs they offered--including all kinds of different flower designs--all of which looked like they could have been stickers. It took me a while to realize they were actually painted on designs, they were so good. I showed the woman working what I wanted but asked if she could make it smaller than the sample. She sat me down and began working and even though she didn't draw EXACTLY what I asked for (which I was fine with because I wasn't entirely sure what I wanted, either), she spent a lot of time on the details and drew up this beautiful freehand design that was beyond what I imagined! It looks soooo good! It ended up being the perfect thing! In addition, because I already had a pedicure done and all she was doing was the design, she didn't even charge me! The salon owner was there and was equally kind and accommodating! The women getting their nails done in the salon were all chit-chatting and the atmosphere was very warm and friendly. I'm DEFINITELY going to go back to this place! And I can't wait to show off my toes at my wedding!!! read more

I've been coming here since day one! The owner, Tran, is not only talented but up to date with all the latest nail trends. The pricing is very competitive and i LOVE the deluxe pedicure. Well worth the extra money! I've lived in Danville my entire life, and have tried almost every nail salon, livery Nails is by far THE BEST!! read more

Best nail place ever! Called for an apt. and came into their shop. Everyone was warm and friendly. Cathy did a fantastic job on my nails. Will plan on going every 2 weeks from now on. So glad I found them on Yelp! read more

I'm giving Livery Nails five stars, because they don't have ten! I first went to Tran, the owner, when he worked at another salon in Dublin, and was thrilled when he opened his own here in Danvlle. The fact that I've been going to him for over twenty years speaks for itself. When he does my nails, they last a full two weeks and now that he introduced me to colored acrylics, I can go three weeks. They never chip! The stuff is amazing! If and when he goes on vacation, I've had Nancy do my nails and she also does an amazing job. All the girls there are so sweet and, after so many years, they seem like family. read more

I totally agree with all the other reviews. I've been going to Tran for about 5 years. When he went into business for himself in Danville and opened Livery Nails, he concentrated on hiring only the best people who take time and pride in what they do. His salon is fastidiously clean and everything is labeled according to code. You see the girls disinfect the foot baths after each client, and all are very sweet and nice. Tran does most of the nails, but Nancy is really good, too, as I discovered when Tran wasn't available. I highly recommend this place to everyone. read more

Good location with great parking ease, but not sure how clean they are? They also talk trash about clients in Vietnamese while smiling, confirmed by my friend who understood them. Not worth the trouble going there. read more

Not a fan. Also not my normal nail salon but had to result to this place one day. During my pedicure they kept hurting me with the tools and stabbing me which led to an infection in my toe. I got acrylics as usual and I usually like them long so I made sure to tell them. They charged me EXTRA for getting them long instead of short. That is unheard of to me. Is that extra work for you or something to paint just a little more. At that point I was beyond irritated and their rudeness didn't help. I don't know why I tipped them. read more

My new nail place. Fast and great service. The love my nails. Thanks you will be back read more
