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. read more

I came in with 3 broken nails and wanted to keep my nails long for a wedding I'm going to in a couple of days. We cut one that couldn't be saved/ gave that one a tip. Tom used builder gel and gel to make sure it wouldn't continue breaking. Tom took his time making sure my nails were the right length and all even. great attention to detail. Thanks Tom! read more

Tom where is my manicurist and I found him to be arrogant, rude and bitchy. I put up with it for maybe five times after that I just decided the last time was it I no longer wanted to pay anyone even though he did good nails the vibe was off and I just wasn't happy with his whole attitude. It was just too much sugar in his tank for me if you know what I mean. read more

Liz Nails in san lorenzo A-1 service. Nail shops are notorious for squeezing in as many clients as possible for the money... quantity over quality but not here. I feel when they are working on you they are focused on you and not rushing through the service. Highly satisfied when leaving the shop. Thank you to Tom & Ann of Liz Nails. read more

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. read more

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. -- read more

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. read more

Liz Nails - Cuts in my cuticle sealed with super glue (???) and two random ass shapes - Nail Salons Near Me - San Lorenzo, California

I am very low maintenance and never like to complain about any service especially nail shops because I know people work long hours but this place did such a horrible job. I went in just for a color change on my toes and the lady that did my color change did not want to sit me on the chairs where you'd get a pedicure she sat me on a regular chair and just used a stool to bend down to work on my feet. Very uncomfortable. They also didn't check in to see if my toes had dried yet and after about 15-20 mins I just walked up to pay and leave and I drove off and the color literally rubbed off within 10 mins. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AT ALL read more

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 . read more

Liz Nails - This is a baby pink color now its all distorted and cracked im so mad it didnt even last A DAY ! - Nail Salons Near Me - San Lorenzo, California

A Business That Doesn't Value The Customer. I used to love to go to this place. However as I continued the price kept going up and the owner insisted on a tip. At first it sounded too good to be true but after $35 with tip not worth it. I go somewhere else with much more and only pay $25. This includes petticure, massaje and facial hairs removal. Great customer service and been in business for 33 years. Don't go to this place its too expensive for a foot care. And when attempted to be seen no business and mentioned no time for me. Okay, I thought competition is out their bud. And word of mouth gets around. read more

Love this place! All are friendly and attentive. I have been going here for years. Owner is lovable all the girls are friendly.

Only place I come to get my pedicures. Lisa is fantastic. I drive in from Calaveras county to Liz nails and Paul Melina Salon for hair apts. read more

Quoted a 15 min wait. It took 1 hour to get to me while he served two others for waxing before me. Gel polish turned out thick and nails scratchy at tips which needed buffing, or more filing. I had to request lotion, he wasn't going to put it on, and my hands were extra dry after soaking too long. He didn't apologize for the extra-long wait till the very end and after I tipped. I still topped 20% although I shouldn't have. read more

They always do a great job, they usually always have availability, the people are super nice and it's clean. Really love this nail salon:)

Have been going here off and on for a couple of years and have never had a negative experience. I live in the neighborhood so it is very convenient. I don't get anything fancy done (no acrylics), just regular mani/pedi and only ever call to make an appointment in advance. While some potential customers may get frustrated that they can't get in when they want and are told "no" or "come back later", I appreciate that they don't try to take on more than they can handle at any given time. I have only interacted with the owner minimally over the last two years (he only did my nails once), but I am impressed that he always remembers me and is more personal (I know this due to specific comments and questions). read more

Gel mani She took too much cuticle on my thumb which still hurts 2hours later. Th color is ok but it the sun it looks streaky. I usually go somewhere else (forever nails) but went here on a whim. When i called on the phone for price enquirey they said $25, i thought well thats $2 more than i pay now but whatever if its closer to mh house. Well when i was done it was $30. Umm ok less massage and more $ than quoted on phone boo read more

I've been coming here for a couple years now to get fills and the occasional pedicure. This place is close to home. I always call ahead now after being turned away when they are busy, and when people have appointments. So my tip would be to call ahead and ask if they are busy before dropping by! Friendly staff. I always do the gel and haven't had problems with it chipping off read more

Friendly staff, but the lady that did my nails today hurt my toes by cutting cuticles so much they they bleed and then she put super glue to stop it. Did not seem sanitary. After I left my toe nail color had chipped so I went back to have it fixed and she only painted over it rather than re-doing it. I live in San Ramon so only went here while visiting my dad, but will definitely not come back. Overpriced and painful. read more

I went here with my bff right before Christmas and it was only because we went to 2 others and they were completely booked for the next 2-3 hrs and we were not willing to wait. This was going to be the last place we stop by before giving up and surprisingly they took us in right away. I wanted a full set, white tip. A guy did my nails (and I forgot to ask for his name) but they came out REALLY well because it's been a week and they still look perfect. Usually my nails tend to lift within 5-7days and then I'd have to get a fill right at 2 weeks but this guy told me that if people do nails right, it should last a month so I'm starting to believe him! The only downside to this nail place is that they don't carry OPI nail polish or any nail polish that I'd want to use for that matter cause all their polishes seem old and kinda nasty (which is why I opted for the full set). Oh, and they could probably work on their cleanliness a little bit more. My bff had a mani pedi and she really liked how they paid attention to detail and it came out looking great! We just agreed that if we ever go back for a mani pedi, we'd bring our own nail polish. read more

Racist people. Disappointed in this place. Especially since I live around the corner. I just walked into this place a few minutes again. I was greeted by a guy working on someone's nails. I told him I just wanted a fill. He replied with "We don't have time to do a fill, we are busy." I said ok great and turned around to leave. Let me point out that I am a black women. As I got in my car to leave, I noticed that 2 white women came in the nail salon right after me. They were greeted and told to pick out their colors. I only wanted a fill. I'm not sure what they wanted done, but I know that my 1 fill would've been quicker that whatever they wanted done. I felt the guy took one look at me and turned me away because of my race. I wouldn't recommend anyone going there. I am planning on reporting this place for discrimination. read more

The guy here is very rude. Called in and ask what time they close, he said 8pm. Came in with my mom and saw there were only 2 customers being worked on & he tells us there's no time for us (it was only 6pm!). Only came here because it was closer to home & wanted to give it a try. We ended up going to another nail salon which accommodated us that same day. read more

Really lovely pedicure the poor lady was leaving for home but the boss asked if she would stay and she did that was so nice of her - she took an hour with the massage, soak and also a separate softening Creme - she could have rushed but she didn't . All of this was $25 very reasonable and my feet are so soft she really paid attention to detail - will definitely go back ! So grateful for them accommodating me - they get busy I was there around 5.45 and 3 people were turned away for pedicures read more

Tom does a wonderful job on my nails al, always leaving there happy. I would definitely recommend Liz nails

I came here this afternoon. I had a gift certificate and thought I'd use it. There were 3 workers and only 2 customers being worked on. Tom was a rude f'ing ahole and said they were too busy and come back another day. Seriously??? 3 employees and 1 not working? I have NEVER been to a nail place and being sent out the door. EVER!!!! My neighbor went there for years! She also said Tom was an asshole and pennied her for everything and changed his prices from what the girls charged. I bought this certificate for her and she said she hates the place and told me to keep it. I paid $50 and got the same shit today! I WANT MY MONEY BACK TOM!!!! You evidently don't know anything about flipping CUSTOMER SERVICE or ETIQUETTE. In the US we strive/thrive on customer service. You have no clue. If I could give this a negative 10 I would. read more

This was my first time here. They were very friendly. The shop was clean. And most importantly, the nail technician did my nails exactly how I wanted them. The price was very fair. I got an acrylic fill and asked the technician to change the shape from square to stiletto. It was nice they had a good movie on their TV for us to watch. read more

My original nail lady is out on vacation for the week so I decided to try out Liz Nails. I have to say that I am really happy with my nails.

I would definitely go back for fills in the future. read more

I have been going to Liz Nails for years, and they always do a great job. I get gel manicures and regular pedicures. Tom and his family do an excellent job every time! My nails are even without any snags, and there is always attention to detail. I make sure I call to make an appointment a day or two ahead, because they can get busy. I have seen people get upset if they walk in and no one can take them immediately, but that's the nature of the business. They are reasonably priced and have all new furniture and flooring, so it's comfortable too. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE Liz Nails. No matter where I've lived in the Bay Area this has been my nail salon for 25+ years. Everyone here feels like famy and makes me feel like a welcome and valued customer. Plus, I always get great compliments on my nails. Lime any business they can be busy so I always recommend an appointment. Thank you to Tom and the whole team at Liz Nails. read more

Love the staff here and I always feel good about the job they do. I get a lot of compliments on my nails.

When I walked in I was just looked at and then finally asked what I needed. Told them a manicure and he said no we don't have time for a manicure today although their Yelp page says "walk ins" welcome. There was one person waiting. Didn't even offer me to come back at a later time or make an appointment. Will nEver go back there! read more

They get 5 stars because the same women have been at this location for quite a while, they are fast, anyways done exactly what I needed & very reasonable fees. Everyone is very friendly & always remember me when I return. Their location is not fancy, but how they treat me is far more important. read more

I've been coming to Liz Nails for over a decade. I've tried other places in the area (Liz's is closed on Sunday) and nail locations near my work but I always return here. They do excellent pedicures at a very reasonable price. I've seen literally everyone (I love the Lisas, Tom and Ann!) and have never been disappointed. If your unsure about what color looks good with your skin tone ask Tom - he has a gift! I don't understand the negative reviews unless those women were expecting a spa experience. This is not a spa however the experience is always pleasant and the pedicures are FAB! read more

First time here and I got a pedicure... I think one of the better pedicures I've ever had actually!! LISA does a great job, takes her time and no one is being rushed. Since they were busy, I couldn't get my mani but I will be back for sure!! read more
