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

I have come to Liz Nails for 12 years and always leave happy! I have come to know the whole team and they always strive to do their best. They are kind, caring, and very hard working. Tom is a miracle worker with eyebrow waxing. He knows what looks best for your face. If you come away unhappy, it's just because you don't know what you should be looking like. My toes and gel nails always leave looking fantastic! Those leaving negative comments, calling Tom by "Fabio", have only yourselves to blame for how you are treated. If you come off as an entitled jerk, you shall be treated like an entitled jerk. If you talk down to those you deem "unworthy" of being treated with dignity, then you leave yourself open to being deemed unworthy for service. If you go to a place like this and don't have an appointment, be prepared to either have to wait or come back. Don't storm off in a huff if they are busy. Because the chairs aren't full, doesn't mean they aren't busy. They may have a full appointment book for that hour. The staff works hard and is easy going. They always work to make the client happy.

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 !

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 had multiple pictures to pull inspiration from, I loved that we were able to collaborate and create a beautiful and stunning set together. The suggestions she gave made so much sense and I'm glad I was also open/receptive to them! I have now taken off my nails, but it was HARD! I had them on for a month, NO lifting in sight, top coat was still shinny. I also have crooked fingers from cracking them so often, Dani did an AMAZING job making sure my nails were straight. I was visiting a friend and found her through yelp, I highly recommend and would drive six hours to come see her again! Thank ya Dani girl.

I had to wait a bit even though I made appointment and they weren't really busy. Service for my acrylic fill was fast. I did like how gentle she was but she had to finish my fill and then go to another person. They then had someone else put the polish on my nails which is fine but I would have rather had same one. Within 3 days 3 nails broken. I felt price was high and thought it's ridicules they charge extra cateye when it's still painting a regular color on and just using the magnet?. I got charged for med length nails but feel my nails should be considered short $57 $15 for cat eye polish ??? I could of gone out and got a deli sandwich sorry that's a meal right there $2 charge for using a CC which I know ok it's 2 dollars (I don't agree with especially being a business owner myself you need to just eat that cost/write off those CC fees yourself for all of your transactions you do a day. Also it's not like I was trying to pay my $5 tab I paid $79 on my card. I got no special design or any rhinestone I didn't get a copy of my receipt but I swear they must of charge a service fee for tip or tax. Now I got to spend more money on another place to fix because you know I'm not going come back for a $10 per nail fix because you know they wont fix for free having it be only 3 days. Also in the front they have a sign that says no refunds so they must rip off a lot of ppl by charging all the upcharges without informing customers of price.
