This is after 2 weeks of having them on. I couldn't be happier to live close to a good nail shop.
Susana C.

This comes from a cosmetologist point of view: ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ask ANY beauty related establishments to use clean implements for your services. You are allowed to ask them to open the sterilization pouch in front of you prior to your service. They should happily do this. It's basic protocol for an establishment. Now, if they have an issue with this or make a remark or get POd about it, you know there is an issue and you are allowed to contact the Board of Barbering and Cosmetology +1 (800) 952-5210. Any establishment will immediately get a visit from the board. You are paying for the service as well as your well-being. Always make sure their license is openly displayed at each workstation with valid dates on it. With that said, I had a good experience at this salon. I was not feeling well but needed to get my nails done for a school project. I like my mails but did notice some violations that were concerning. I will be coming in again for a fill and will be more vigilant that proper protocol is being followed. I am NEVER one to confront an employee about something they're doing wrong (that's not a good thing, I am very shy) but from now on I will make sure to voice my concerns at any cosmetic establishment I come in. I was treated nicely during my service. The nail tech was having back problems so she wasn't very talkative which I didn't mind, sometimes you just want to get your service in peace, kinda like therapy for me. She was willing to speak to me whenever I had questions which I appreciated. I made an appointment because I noticed they are always busy, I am glad I did because women were being turned away due to the long wait times.

My friend and I went for her birthday and they were amazing! Really great customer service and they did a great job on our nails.

I had my nails done every two weeks by the owner Tom. It was my sixth time to have my nails filled. I noticed fungus under two of my nails. Tom acted like it was not a big deal and was getting ready to fill them right over the fungus! I asked him how could this have happened since I had acrylic nails for many years without a problem. His sarcastic response was " I guess I'm not good at my job". I could not believe how rude he was. I told him to take the nails off immediately and that you should never put anything over fungus. He soaked them in acetoin for only a very short time and then started prying them off. When I told him it hurt and he needed to soak them more he called me a big baby. What an ass! Also, I never saw him throw out the acetoin when he was done with me, he just put it to the side. This is very unsanitary. --

I'm new to this city , for a while I've been looking up nail places few places I stop by or called to ask to get seen They were always busy on my way home I thought I'll give Liz Nails a chance due to I'll be a walk in I thought I would get turn down or be told to come back But they took me in less then 5mins I was getting help I'm not a reg ok getting my nails done it's been forever price was a little out of my range but oh well I always feel new to it I showed them a pic of the color and style I wanted and I i can say I couldn't be any happier with my nails not to long not to short perfect it's always hard for me to find someone that knows How I I want them Tom was very nice and friendly I will be coming back for sure for a new set Thank you Liz Nails

Cuts in my cuticle sealed with super glue (???) and two random ass shapes
Maria M.

Only came here because I needed to kill time and instantly regret it. I got a gel manicure which cost $25. Not only was the nail lady eating sunflower seeds, she didn't watch her hands before she started my manicure. She shaped my already short nails shorter and wasn't at all consistent with the shape, some of my nails are round and some square (WTF) then she cuts my cubicle until it bleeds and acts like it didn't happen and then used super glue to seal it. Is that even sanitary?! I thought that I was at least going to have a nice massage when the gel settled but nope, she said "okay done" WTF? I could've gotten the same service done for cheaper and better quality. I left a 12% tip when really I shouldnt have left one at all. It ruined my day.

This is a baby pink color now its all distorted and cracked im so mad it didnt even last A DAY !
Christina G.

I went in on Saturday for a last minute mani pedi service was okay but the quality was horrible. I got shellac which was $60 for a mani pedi and by monday my nails were chipped cracked and the color is fading . The polish they use it either old or cheap quality . Ill NEVER go back DONT GO FOR SHELLAC. Im so mad with how much money I wasted on crap nails .

A Truly Exceptional Nail Salon - Rie & Peter Are a Must!…read more This was my first time coming here, and I'm honestly so impressed that I need everyone to know about this place. The moment I walked in, the whole atmosphere felt warm, welcoming, and full of good vibes. It's rare to find a salon where you instantly feel comfortable, but this one truly feels like a place that cares. I had Rie for my hands and Peter for my pedicure, and both of them exceeded every expectation I had. Rie - Hands/Nails Rie was absolutely amazing. She spent real time talking to me about my nails--my habits, what I struggle with, what I prefer--so she could help me care for my nails long-term, not just for the day. That alone stood out to me. Her technique is incredibly gentle, precise, and detail-oriented. Nothing felt rushed. She paid close attention to shape, length, and symmetry, and made sure I loved each step before moving on. One thing I really appreciated: the tips she put on feel like my real nails. No heaviness, no bulkiness, no thick edges. They feel light, natural, and perfectly blended. I actually kept touching them because I couldn't believe how natural they felt. It's the best and cleanest application I've ever had. Peter - Pedicure Peter was just as impressive. He was: * Extremely thorough with calluses and cuticles * Gentle but effective * Very attentive and made sure I was comfortable the whole time My feet feel soft, refreshed, and genuinely cared for--not rushed through like at most places. The polish application and massage were perfect. Overall Experience The biggest difference here is that they truly take their time. Not one moment felt rushed or overlooked. Everything was done with intention, patience, and care. The overall vibe was: * Easy-going * Relaxing * Warm * Detail-focused I walked out feeling pampered, valued, and honestly amazed at how beautiful and natural everything looked. Would I Recommend Them? Absolutely YES. If you want: * Natural-feeling tips that look and feel like real nails * A nail tech who genuinely cares about the health of your nails (ask for Rie!) * A pedicure that's detailed, gentle, and leaves your feet baby-soft (ask for Peter!) * A salon with amazing energy and zero rushing Then this is the place you need to go. I'm already planning my next appointment.

I needed a pedicure done so bad and given their yelp review I trusted this place. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed walking out of here. I posted a final photo of the work done on my toes as you can see how messy and and honestly just not good work at all. The person who did my nails was a male Vietnamese guy. Honestly, I was so annoyed by the end of it because he was cleaning the sides of my nails and since he was so busy talking literally cut my skin cause he was using the tool and looking behind him while talking to everyone else. I also had to ask him to clean the sides of my nails just so its not filled with skin that he had already cut up. So when he applied the nail polish I waited to see what else he was going to do because I can see how messy it was. Once it was dry the picture below was the result of this mediocre work. I think they're only good for their manicure which I haven't tried but it appears that's majority of their photos on their yelp.

He did apologized and explained I can go back without charge to get my nails redone by Helen who has better experience. In the middle of my response, he cut me off and said "I don't have time, you can come back or book. Have a good day". The customer service here is so bad. The comment was just to make them look better on Yelp. Please look at other people's reviews before deciding to come here! This is the first time I'm giving 1star review. I don't normally give reviews lower than 4 stars, but I'm really disappointed since I paid $120 for a manicure and pedicure that I didn't like. The pedicure was fine since it was just plain white polish. The reason I'm upset is because the lady who worked on my manicure seemed to have an attitude after I asked her to trim the acrylic shorter. I understand misunderstandings can happen, possibly due to a language barrier, but I clearly explained at the beginning that I wanted short almond nails. As a customer, I didn't appreciate feeling like my request was an inconvenience. She even said it's harder to work on short nails. It's frustrating to pay $70 for nails that I'm planning to remove the next day and pay another salon to redo. I still tipped her though I wasn't happy. I also blame myself for not reading the reviews beforehand since there are already a good amount of negative reviews. I'm getting married on Sunday, so things have been hectic, and this was one of the only salons near me that was open late. I really wanted to like this place because the late hours are convenient. * Some nails are crooked

I've been to see Sam at Nailbox twice now and I'm so happy I found her. I get the builder gel…read moremanicure and pedi, and they last. Like, really last. I moved to Hayward recently and had been bouncing around trying to find a new nail spot--came across Sam's page because I was curious about Russian manicures and she does them beautifully. Just a heads up on the booking process: the site directs you to request an appointment, but it's not auto-confirmed--Sam has to accept it manually. For my first appointment, I booked for the next day and wasn't sure if it was going through, so now I just DM her directly to check in. Super easy once you know the flow. Sam herself is super sweet and easy to talk to. She recently went solo with her business, so it's just her now--and honestly, I love that. It's chill, one-on-one, and you can tell she really cares about quality. She has a gorgeous selection of colors and uses high-end products, which I think is why everything lasts so long. The first time I went, my nails were in sad shape and I honestly didn't think they'd bounce back. A month later? I've got legit nails I'm proud to show off. If you're looking for a new nail tech who's talented, kind, and really knows her stuff, definitely give Sam a try. I've already planned my next visit.

I was really worried about it tearing off and I was nervous to go to anyone to have it repaired. Sam was SUPER gentle and caring. I had given up and was resigned to having half a nail for a few months but Sam was able to fix it for me! I attached photos of my broken nail that needed repair, how it looked after Sam fixed it before polish (you can't even see the crack!) and the final set once Sam was done. I am so grateful and will definitely be coming back. Thank you so much!!
