    Second visit here. $68 for classic mani pedi. Nails are still wet 4 hours later! This is the first time in 9 months I've given myself the luxury of a mani-pedi. And my nails look horrible! I'm really disappointed.

    I've been gatekeeping on Megan's Nails in Hayward. I apologize. I have been selfish. I love coming here for my mani/pedis! I get pampered. I love the organic pedicure as it leaves my feet smooth and hydrated! Never feel dried out. I love designs and Megan's always comes through with the best nail art- better than I imagine. Ruby and her magical team nail artists leave me feeling pampered, satisfied and beaming with pride in my beautiful nails. (Gorgeous!) They have all the polishes... jewel, tiger eye, powders, lacquers, jewels, and even natural. I find Megan's prices, quality, design and services are spot on. I look forward to coming every 4-5 weeks-- it's my wellness plan

    My daughter, getting a pedicure

    I've been wanting to come here for a while and when walking by on one random Friday Megan/Ruby welcomed me from outside with a big smile and wave. Lol she's so sweet and her staff is great! I decided to get a pedicure for my and my baby daughter so it was her 1st pedicure and she loved her experience :) so did mommy, complimentary glass of wine/cocktail/coffee was the most pleasing part of my experience forsure. So thankful for this place def my new go to salon

    popped and cracked nails after 2 days... bad application
    Maellene D.

    Got gelx full set and pedicure done on a Friday and 3 nails have popped off already come Sunday and paid $160?! The tech who did my nails also looked at the screen wondering what he was charging me.. and I have no clear explanation as to why. Definitely overcharged. I thought giving this place another try since I've had pretty good experiences before. Although my pedicure was great, my manicure no so much. I wasn't happy with how hey turned out and thought attention to detail could be better. Sad to say, I don't think I will be returning. I ended up going elsewhere to get them redone and loved it even more and paid even less.

    10/10 stellar experience at Megan's Nail Salon!! I went for an appointment on July 11th 2025 & I scheduled a manicure, pedicure & some waxing. Every lady in there was so kind, attentive, patient--they really cared about my experience I seriously cannot get over how beautiful the experience was. I hope their pillows are always cool on both ends, I hope their coffee/tea is always the perfect temperature, I hope they never catch a cold, their favorite songs are always on the radio & that the sun shines just a little bit brighter for them. They offer beverages when you come in, take their time with you, are just the sweetest ladies ever fr. I never had such a wonderful experience--OH, and they made sure that I wasn't in any pain especially during the waxing. They're all angels. I have not been paid to post this review nor do I know anyone there personally, these views are my own. Aside from their above & beyond customer service, I asked for stained glass nails and gave a reference photo and look at how gorgeous they came out!! Please do consider making this your nail spa and tip these ladies generously, they work so hard and they deserve it!! P.S. I wish I got all of their names. Everyone who worked on me and chatted with me was amazing but the only names I caught were Ruby & Vicki. The puppy says hello!

    Pink pedi

    OHHHHhhhHhh Mama Mia! My feet had callouses, and it had to go! My nail tech pulled out (and I kid you not!!!), a contraption that looks like a full sized cheese grater!!! As he was scrubbing, the cheese started shredding off my foot!! And so much if it!!! Wow, it was nasty but so satisfying at the same time. My BFF sitting next to me was blinded by my Parmigiano cheese bits! LOL! The deluxe pedi was awesome, and i tipped my guy generously for making my foot look pretty and baby soft. Located in the heart of downtown Hayward. Parking lots are across the street. Great place for mani pedi and hair.

    I wasn't planning on getting my nails done today but I was in the area and decided to make my life easier. I'm glad I dropped in! I think I was helped by 3 different ladies (at the same time) who were all very attentive and kind, and Megan did majority of my set and was happy to apply more coats or a different shade on top when I thought my color would be a little darker. Definitely made sure I left happy. They have a whole cocktail menu and the drink was super cute :)

    Mimi did such an amazing job! Everything was even and not rushed. She made sure to check in with me the whole time! Not only are my nails absolutely gorgeous, the service was phenomenal! I've been going here for years and I can say this is the best nail salon in the Bay Area! Thank you again, Mimi!

    Update! Megan's nails will always be my go-to salon! Ruby, Hannah, Mae and the whole staff are always welcoming, diligent and kind! I've never been disappointed with anyone's work and they always go the extra mile. The salon is clean, color selection is great, and the artistic skills are amazing. I always get a deluxe pedi with a paraffin wax add on and every time I'm happy with the results. Will be back soon!

    Acrylic nails, gel polish, almond shape

    I'm always greeted upon entering, and offered refreshment. The atmosphere is always cool, calm & welcoming. Ruby is as usual phenomenal, Her work is spectacular. I got acrylic nails, white gel polish, almond shape. I also was remembered for my birthday, that added touch definitely means Ruby cares and is attentive to me. It's like we're family !!

    Love love love! I am always indecisive and didn't have to pick out one detail I have been going here faithfully for over a year now. Ruby is awesome with suggesting new things that I'll love. All the ladies I've had never disappoint!

    ASK FOR Yvette !!! She is so talented! My partner and I decided to go to our appointments separately just so we can BOTH get our nails and feet done by Yvette lol. It's expensive now days to get our nails and feet done! It's not worth it if you walk out unsatisfied! I have rarely experienced telling a nail technician what I wanted and it be done beyond my expectations. Yvette you are beyond talented, professional, and a huge value to Megan's nails! As long as you're here my partner and I along with our friends will be as well!

    Hello, what is the cost to get gel manicure removed if you got it done elsewhere? Do I need to make an appointment?

    How long does the dip nail powder nails last? And whats the price?

    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 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.
