Visited for the first time for a quick nail removal. Nice simple and clean shop with very welcoming nail techs! Once I was due for a pedicure, I decided that their prior customer service warranted a full service so I went there. GREAT decision. This is the longest-lasting pedicure I've had in years! One month later, and my polish is still shiny with no chips. No broken nails. Just a bit outgrown as expected. A little pricy, with none of the "frills" as a lot of the glamour boutiques...but definitely worth every parent if you want a GOOD pedicure, some laughs, smiles, and a good massage to top it off :) I'll be back soon! read more

Mandara Nail Spa - One month later - Nail Salons Near Me - Dublin, California

I have been a very loyal and extremely happy customer at Mandara! I went there on December 23 and had a great salon service. I had a gel fill in and a pedicure. There new massaging pedicure chairs are top of the line. The staff is friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. Bonnie who is one of their newest employees did an amazing job with my pedicure!! I especially loved my citrus smelling sea salt scrub and relaxing hot towel massage! I highly recommended this salon for all your nail treatments!!!!! Happy Holidays! read more

I just done my nails Tony did a great job. I appreciate you and I will see you guys next time.

Went to get a pedicure with one of my friends on a Tuesday morning, they weren't busy and took us right in. I haven't gotten a pedicure in a while so i needed some TLC, we got just that! sweet ladies took their time and were efficient, they made sure we were comfortable and provided me alternate options for a nail color they did not have at the time. I felt like my lady did a great job at caring for my cuticles and paying attention to my ingrown, no bleeding or cuts! Definitely recommend! read more

This is my sister and mine's go to nail salon. They also take kids ages 7+. It's always recommended to call in advance for their availability, that way they can be as efficient as possible and play to their strengths when it's 2 or more of us all getting mani-pedis. All of the techs are great! All of them give great foot and leg massages, and treated me amazingly when I was pregnant. Tony is usually booked when he's there so if you want him call in advance. It's always a fun conversation with Sue and Nancy, we love that they remember us. Amy and Nancy treated me with EXTRA tender love and care when I was postpartum and so tense as a new mom. read more

I have been coming here for years and they do such a great pedicure! I go to anyone who is available and all are good. Always so friendly. And now they have just added new massage chairs that are wonderful! read more

Thuba and Sue are so sweet! This is the only nail spa I feel comfortable communicating my preferences when getting my nails done. They have a great selection of colors and I love getting a pedicure with the wax treatment at the end. The place is clean and well lit. I've been able to walk in and be served but I usually go on a weekday afternoon. read more

Sue was very patient and worked with me every step to make sure I was satisfied. The service was once again amazing and I felt extremely welcomed here. read more

WORST NAIL SALON EVER Walked into this nail salon to get a pedicure. As soon as I walked in I was not greeted with care. The lady asked me "what do want" then I responded with a gel pedicure. She told me to take a seat. I sat and waited there for 40 minutes. Not one person there reassured me that they were going to take care of me. Yes, they were busy but they did not acknowledge my presence. I understand that they were busy but the least they could have done was acknowledge that I was there for a service. One thing I hate is MY TIME WASTED AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY DID!!! read more

I am livid. This is what $130 nails looks like. I feel so taken advantage of. First visit I just want a regular acrylic set, they charge me $65 and later I notice they failed to push back my cubicles and after I remove my cubicles myself my 3day nails look two weeks old. I go back in to get them fixed and refilled 5days after the first appointment and they charge another $65 to fix their mistake of not pushing back my cubicles like every other salon does. I am a teacher, I am not rich and I feel so taken advantage of and tricked out of $130 for subpar nails. Do not go here, they will rip you off, they will over charge you and not push back your cubicles and purposely do a bad job so you're back after a week needing a new fill. BEWARE. read more

I get my mani/pedi gel here often & I'm never disappointed. They are not pushy sales people, they will mention upgrades only once without pressuring you to buy. The place is usually very clean and the polish they use is not old. Their prices are also reasonable. Lastly, I recommend you avoid the late afternoon weekend hours because they get busy and you might not get in. read more

I just moved to the area and I am further away from my normal Mail person so I decided to give this place a try I walked in around 6 o'clock for a full set and my toes. I was told the full set would cost $58 and 40 for my toes. Pedicure was extremely rushed my big toe was bleeding because she cut me. It's still scarred. After she asked what I wanted on my nails I said if she can do French tip I am expecting to pay maybe 510 more extra dollars for French tip. French tip was very uneven each nail was a different size she didn't even do my cuticles after asking to pay extra I don't know what I paid for because my cuticles looked horrible. The nails ended up being $80. I don't mind paying $80 for nails but at least make it worth it by having good work. I will NOT BE BACK HERE. read more

I have been searching for a new nail salon in the Dublin Area for over a year. Today while on my way to Five Guys I walked past Mandara Spa, it was love at first sight. I felt welcome from the moment I walked in! They were so friendly and treated me amazing. The prices are also very reasonable. Sue waxed my eyebrows & upper lip and and Thuba did my full set. I opted for ombré. I will definitely be a returning customer. read more

Great nail spa with very friendly staff. Thank you Tony for always taking care of me with such great expertise!!

Full set done by Sue. Totally out of my comfort zone for the color and the French tip...but I can always trust that Sue is going to execute, whatever it is well. I'm sure I'll be back in a week for my usual but for now...these special holiday nails will do. Sue did an awesomely amazing job even when taking me outside do my comfort zone.

I've never had such a terrible experience getting my nails done in my entire life. She didn't clean under my nails, she rushed through the manicure with hardly any prep except cutting and filing, the dip was uneven and patchy. 0 stars if I could. Unacceptable for $55 manicure. She said "we don't clean the nails with dip." Ridiculous. read more

This place has been my go to for many years. It's not pretentious like many of the nail salons in the area and the lay out is nostalgic for anyone who was getting square tip acrylics like me in 1999. Sure, it could use a little interior facelift but the staff are all great and you can tell that a standard is set here by management because every technician does all the extra little steps that makes your nails last. They always attempt to learn my name, even if they forget next time I'm in, and the energy is overall positive and laid back. I always get builder gel nails or dip with Thuba and sea salt pedis w whoever is available. read more

I've gone here for years, unfortunately, with my latest visit, I left with a manicure and an infection.

Nancy did a great job on the pedicure. Shop was clean. Will be coming back here in the future!

Nancy is the best!!! I am so happy when she does my pedicures. She's a perfectionist and is soooo good at what she does. Highly recommend her. She also has a great sense of humor and her leg and foot massage is amazing and she doesn't skimp out on that. Recommend the sea salt treatment as you get extra massage with it. Overall a relaxing environment. Bring cash for tip!!! read more

Starting off on a positive note this shop is very clean and they are friendly . Now we are going to get into value and suggestions because there is always room for Improvement that's the whole point of reviews . So I came into this shop my birthday weekend to get a nail fixed and figured I would just get another pedicure while I'm here . She suggested giving me a fill ( I literally got a polish change 2 days ago) and a fill last Friday for a photoshoot . I just moved to the area and I need to find a new nail shop . I was charged $113 for a fill and a very basic pedicure . . I have no problem paying for quality work and service but for me to pay pretty much $56 for a pedicure that didn't come with hot stones or a hot towel no wax , or callous removal I feel played . I feel played because literally 5 days before I paid $35 for a jelly pedicure with hot stones , wax , and extra skin care . On top of this my nails never ever look like I need another fill after 4 days . Now if you want to charge $60 for a pedicure you need to at least offer what other shops offer , provide water for your clients , invest in a sound system or a bigger television , and make sure you don't walk away from a client with left over residue on their hands . Nail technician who did my nails needs some more training . read more

I had a mani pedi with Tony and it was such a lovely experience. He took his time and made sure he did his best job - truly making it seem like I was his number one priority. The spa itself if such a clean and lovely place - i watched the workers sanitize seats and equipment after the customer left. I will say it is a little confusing when you first walk in on what COVID protocol is, but nonetheless it was a lovely experience and I love my nails. I will definitely be back. read more

I can't say enough great things about the ladies who work at Mandara!! I've been coming here on and off for almost 2 years now and it's easy to say that they are by far the best in the area! My fill will easily last 4 weeks, and I still get compliments on my nails the day I'm coming in for an appointment. Everyone is so nice and professional. Personally, Sue and Tuba are my go to ladies. When you come, be ready to relax and spend some time here - because they really take the time to make sure everything is perfect!! read more

Always end up with great nails! Never disappointed whether it's a manicure or pedicure. I've recommended to lots of friends as well!

Alright let's just jump right in! Pros: * They do an excellent job on shellac. There is nothing I hate more than looking at nail pictures and seeing messy, lumpy, gel manicures. My nails always come out clean, smooth, and shiny. *Super friendly! The employees are sweet and will laugh and joke with you. * Walk in ready! I've never had any problem just walking into this place and getting what I needed done. * No chemical smell! Enough said. *Relaxing spa atmosphere. They've created a lovely place that doesn't just feel like a "nail factory". You come here to close your eyes and enjoy your experience, not just to get it done and get out. Cons: *Pricy. Every time I go in I have to prepare myself for the amount of money I'm going to spend. * The cash- the have the capability to take card but they vastly prefer cash. After your first time running a card they'll "ask" you "Next time cash?". In this day and age this is just highly inconvenient * The chairs- The chairs you sit in to get your nails (not feet, those are great) done in are soooooo uncomfortable, there's no sitting back and relaxing, you have to scoot up towards the edge so don't hurt your back. So yes, every time I come here I fret a bit at the prices but they do a dang good job and at the end of the day it feels worth it. So go forth and mani-pedi! PS- Say YES to the sea salt scrub for $5 more on your pedicure. Worth it read more
