    After a week
    Samantha C.

    I came across Stephanie's work on Instagram and was pleasantly surprised to find out that she worked out of Alameda! I was able to find an appointment within her schedule that worked for when I was in town and had a excellent experience. Stephanie is meticulous and detail oriented, and will absolutely take her time to make sure that you are happy with your nails. I showed her several pictures of what I wanted the final result to look like (vanilla chrome) and she spent time to trial different colors on my nails to make sure I was happy given colors may vary on different skin tones. Three hours was probably the longest I have managed to sit still for both a manicure and pedicure but it was well worth it give the attention and care Stephanie gives to your nails. She really has a lovely space and is friendly while also giving you peace and quiet if you need it, which made the entire time with her extremely pleasant. It's been a week and a half since I've visited Stephanie and my nails look just as good as when I first got them! I'm totally happy with my experience with Stephanie and would highly recommend her work to those in the East Bay.

    Absolutely LOVE Stephanie ! She's such an incredible person and an awesome nail tech ! Literally the sweetest person I've met, an incredible artist always willing to try a new nail art design for me without hesitation and she knows exactly how to make you feel comfortable and provide a great place for self care #TreatYoSelf! Worth every dollar ! She not only takes her time but she makes sure to leave you feeling amazing ! I've been going to Steph before she opened up her own place and there was no doubt in my mind that I wouldn't follow whershe went as long as it was the Bay Area hahah ! 10/10 recommended you will not regret it ! Her place is super cute and modern you can see how hard she and her husband worked to get this placed to be perfect !

    I recently moved from southern california and was having trouble finding an affordable place to get…read morea pedicure. All of the pricing in San Francisco is rather high in comparison to back home. I stumbled upon Vena's late at night scrolling through Yelp and couldn't be happier! The establishment is clean, the service was amazing, and I'd definitely come back again. I got a basic gel pedicure which was $50. I had grown out gel polish from about 3 months ago that they carefully removed. They even noted that the color I liked was sheer and recommended mixing 2 shades to make the color pop more. Other places would not provide their suggestion. The lady doing my pedicure was careful and kind. It took about 1 hour in total after finishing the gel and doing a massage/lotion with hot stone. I did not expect to be so pampered! I do highly recommend an appointment because they are BUSY! I had my pedicure on a Sunday and while they do take walk-ins, the salon was quite packed with existing appointments. They were honest with the long wait time with folks walking in which I appreciated as other places make you sit without real notice of when they can receive you. I can't wait to come back again and maybe try a manicure next time.

    Uhh, I so hate that I have to update my review to give them a low rating. The staff is great. My…read morenails look amazing and they are super friendly.. the low review is for how the management tried to nickle and dime me, twice. From what I was told, fills cost $5 extra for short nails. They said it takes more material for shorter nails. So the only way to not be charged extra is if you get a fill when your nails don't grow in between fills. Unfortunately I will have to find a new salon that doesn't charge extra for short nails. Edit: 1 star for Joe's reply. If the fill cost $60 because you have to shape the nails, just say it's $60. The point of getting a fill is to fill in the growth so of course if you keep your nails short, they will need to be cut short. Great work from staff. Dishonest management.

    Been coming here forever. Staff makes you feel at home. Latest set was perfect. If you're thinking of trying them, go--they're worth it.

    Back in the day when I was regularly getting my nails done, the only option I had for extensions…read morewas acrylic. Now I'm getting back into it, and there are so many options! The nail techs consulted with me and explained to me the multitude of options. -Acrylic is the hardest and best if you work your hands -GelX is for when you add extensions to natural nails -Builder Gel is harder than gel and is for natural nails. -Gel a little harder than normal polish and also for natural nails The first time I went I got gel with Cateye. So cute. The set could have lasted me another week or two as there was no lifting. But, my nail cracked from the side. So I went a second time. This time I got builder gel. I could feel the difference in hardness. I have found that all the techs at NailEnvy are very meticulous and detailed with their work. The massages they give with their services is the perfect strength to relax your muscles. The designs they create on your nails are commensurate with the price you pay. Because they are creative and detailed, the designs are unique and awesome. They are so legit! The cost is comparable to other salons, not overpriced and competitive. As for cleanliness, their utensils and nail stations are clean. Making an appointment is super easy as they have a website where you can schedule at your convenience. If you want a specific nail tech, you need to call and make an appointment over the phone. But all of them are exceptional. The major distinction of this nail salon is the techs themselves. They are so happy and nice. It's a salon where I have a hard time leaving because the atmosphere is so friendly. I love looking at the designs they apply as they are all unique and astonishing. I highly recommend Envy Nails. They get a 5 star rating from me

    This is more of a 3.5 star review, but hear me out! But also, please keep in mind this is/was my…read moreexperience, and in no way shape or form i am trying to sway you to not come here. The reason for 3 stars is solely dependent on the amount of time, and how much the services costed, a minor service issue as well, not terrible though. This is my first time here, i was taking a stroll on park and saw this place and peaked in and saw how luxurious and clean it looked, very big open space, lots of massage chairs, so i decided to pop and see for myself. So i stroll in around 4:30pm, for a new set and gel pedi. Typically both services take me at most 2 hours. I get sat down to remove my current acrylic set, this probably took at least 30-45 minutes. From the filing, to the soaking, removal, soaking again, and removal again. This is the longest I've ever experienced a removal. Then comes the cutting and shaping of my natural nails to prep for my new set. Finally i get moved to a massage chair to start my pedicure. I opted for the deluxe so this comes with a variety of things, from what i can remember, at least 2 masks, scrub, 10 minute massage, and hot rocks after. The total for this was $70, which is way more than what i would've normally paid at different locations, but I'm not knocking it, just isn't in my range but can be for someone else. Quality isn't great, but isn't bad. This is where my service issue/frustration comes in. My pedicure took almost 45 mins, and finally someone comes to start my set, or so i thought. She kept moving around, from one person to another, helping another client in between, but there are 3 other workers. I then get moved to a table, and I'm waiting again for about 10 minutes. She sits back down with me, and i thought okay great we're starting forreal now. Nope, we weren't. There was another client waiting, and she stops what she's doing with me, the gentlemen comes over and she moves to help the other client and he's now my nail tech. It is now 6:38pm and we're finally starting my set. Precise time because i was texting my bf to let him know bc this process was just taking so long. And i kid you not, the process from putting on the gel x nails, to shaping, filing, etc etc, i didn't walk out of there until 8:12pm. I did a very basic paint with cat eye polish. Typically 2 layers of paint, but he painted at least 5 layers before starting the cat eye magnetic process... In total i paid $168, and tipped $20. The amount of time spent there and the cost of it all, and being moved around from one person to another, ultimately costed the 2 stars. But again, this is just my experience i am sharing, and not to deter your decision to visit, because the quality of work is there.

    After a break of over one year since my last visit here, I am impressed with how this place has…read moregotten even better and they were already pretty good and one of my favorite Nail Salons in Alameda. First of all, the service is ALWAYS friendly and they do a great job of acknowledging business that walks in and ensuring waiting clients are comfortable; offering water or tea upon entering and providing a spacious, clean and comfortable waiting area. Also, this salon has to be the CLEANEST and most organized nail salon on the island. With recent decor upgrades, it's an even more beautiful and relaxing space. I can appreciate a staff who pays attention to details other than the work they do on nails. Especially with nail service prices climbin in general, it's nice that the salon puts a huge effort for the space to feel luxe and comfortable. Anyway, I came in with bare nails that needed help after 2 months of Gel X sets and fills. I opted for hard gel over my natural (itty bitty) nails to add strength and durability while I grow my natural nails out. For anyone curious, it's very similar to acrylic over natural nails or nail tips but the material is gel based (I think polygel?) The nail tech was kind, patient and thorough. After about an hour of work, my nails looked revived and despite the short length of my natural nails, they still looked bomb and cute. A little sparkly top coat on top of the milky pink hard gel and my manicure was done. I can't wait for my fill appointment when my nails are a bit longer and can start to be shaped out to the medium-short almond length I'm aiming for.

I broke one nail the night before and asked for a gel x one to replace the broken nail. My hope was to maintain the length that I worked hard to grow. The technician chose a nail that didn't fit my finger at all. Proceeded to awkwardly place the nail and glued/cured it down. Not only is it lifted and separated, it's misaligned. I can literally fit a metal file between the real nail and the pressed on one. When I brought this up, she proceeded to tell me that my nail is crooked and that's the reason for the gap.. *cue angelah Johnson's skit* I asked her to take it off and to try an acrylic nail instead since she didn't seem to keen on gel x. She refused and instead filed the sides more to 'fix it'. Bottom line is this, there's really only one token person who does all the different services well. Everyone else either seems to be fillers for simple manicure and pedicures. I'm tired of spending my hard earned money on techs that don't know how to do something you ask but attempts anyway and will not take accountability for when they mess up. This is not a nail school and the prices don't reflect it either. I now have to pay someone else, somewhere else to fix the one nail after spending $90 here. Let this be a PSA: We work too hard to earn our money for these life luxuries. Don't let shops like this make you feel like you're the problem when you bring up their wrong doing. You deserve to get what you pay for. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST.
