Tracy does a wonderful job! The place is very clean and neat. She cares about her customers!

I found Tracy through Yelp and I can vouch for all of her 5 star reviews. I went in for a gel mani after seeing her pictures and reading how reasonable her prices are. It took me a while to decide what color to get my nails as she has so many different gel polish colors! She is super meticulous during the manicure and gel application. Her salon is located in the back of her home. She knew I was a new customer so she kindly guided me from the front of her property as my car was pulling up. Her salon is one of the cleanest I've ever seen in my life. It is evident that she takes pride in her work! She does not take walk-ins as she works alone. Despite Oakley being out of my way, I will definitely be going to her for my gel manicures! read more

Tracy is definitely one of the best! I made an appointment for my mom and I and Tracy was able to fit us in although she was pretty booked! My mom and I both liked that she took her time to clean every part of our toes and fingernails. Her prices are also reasonable. read more

Update: been going here a few times already and officially addicted. Me and my sis got Mood Gel on our nails and it changes color like a mood ring, so fun! It's been nine days and not a single chip. Awesome! Tracy is amazing. She did my nails so cute for my wedding and I have been a repeat customer ever since. I even took my dad and she worked on his hands and feet. She even made him laugh by saying she would paint them. Super nice and I highly recommend her. read more

Nail Care By Tracy - Nine days after! - Nail Technicians Near Me

Pros: excellent color selection. She is friendly and very nice, a lovely person. You are supporting her own business! She is meticulous. My nails look great! She doesn't rush, and it is only her in a salon so it isn't the running around busy activity that can occur at some nail shops. I got an appointment on a same day call! Good prices. $22 for a gel mani! Con: I felt like she rushed a little bit the gel removal, she scraped a little bit more than I like, but that is about 99% of all salons I have ever been to so... Overall she did a great job and this on my list of return to! :) read more

Nail Care By Tracy - Gel mani of a new spring color, something "willow." :) with some silver gel over the ring which Tracy suggested and added fun! - Nail Technicians Near Me

There's a reason why I YELP everything and everyone prior to becoming a customer these days. TRACY is one of them! Went in for a gel mani and I'm so in love with the exceptional work Tracy executed I couldn't be happier. Her prices too are very reasonable compared to the many places I've been trying lately in search of "THE ONE" (from Oakland, San Leandro, San Mateo and beyond). She is it! Whew not sure how much longer I could of kept my search up. Tracy works by herself and was very accommodating to me as a walk in. I will in the future make appts beforehand. read more

Nail Care By Tracy - Nail Technicians Near Me

I've been getting manis/pedis since I was 15 and by far Tracy is the best manicurist I have ever had the pleasure of doing my nails. I have never bled and I never got that skin peeling thing after a manicure with her. She has an extensive collection of colors for regular and gels. No acrylics though because she avoids the chemicals in those things. Her new location is really cute. It's behind a big house. She has a little snack var which is awrsome if you're hungry. read more

Nail Care By Tracy - Love! - Nail Technicians Near Me

My usual spot is closed on Mondays (dangit). I was in a panic to get my nails done before vacation and I needed a spot that would take a walk in. A few girlfriends of mine recommended that I get gel done since I would be traveling. I also didn't want to deal with the possibility of having my polish or my nails chipping on vacay (not cute) so yea, gel it was. I went into a Yelp frenzy and TRACY came to my rescue! I hopped in an Uber and hightailed my unorganized ass over there. Tracy was such a sweetheart. She walked me through the whole gel process and did me up real nice. She has a huge selection of colors, seriously. I couldn't decide but she was very patient and helped me with a few suggestions. She gave me advice on how to take care of my nails after I remove the gel as well. She's friendly, professional, efficient, meticulous and a perfectionist. I will definitely be back to see her when I am ready for another gel manicure. Oh, she doesn't charge an arm and a leg either. I think it was only about $20 for a gel mani if I remember correctly. She made my first gel manicure a breeze! She takes walk ins, but I would advise you to call and make an appointment. read more

I stumbled into Tracy's salon on a rainy night in January. I wanted to get a gel manicure before my birthday and I was running out of time. Tracy asked if I could wait 10 minutes while she finished her current customer, which was no trouble at all. She then proceeded to give me the best french manicure EVER. Just like that I was addicted to my Tracy visits. She gave me her cell number so that I could call or text her to make appointments. She was so great at making time for me. She has a fantastic selection of gel polish (way better than other salons) and I loved all her color changing (the color changes depending on your body temperature) and glitter options. We had fun experimenting with bright new shades of purple and adding designs to match the seasons. I was having trouble with my toe nails getting ingrown, so I waited about six months before I asked Tracy to give me a pedicure. She was a wizard at cutting my toe nails to relieve the ingrowns and she also removed all the calluses from my feet. So then I was addicted to pedicures as well as manicures! I was so sad to learn that Tracy was leaving San Francisco and moving to Oakley. Oakley is crazy lucky to have this talented manicurist and overall sweet lady. I miss you Tracy! read more

I've FINALLY found a great place near my house to get my nails done!! I've only tried one until today, and it was awful; reviews on the other ones near my house have kept me clear of those as well. Tracy is great!!! I read in the reviews that she is a one-woman show, so I called ahead and booked an appointment with no problem. About 45 minutes before my appointment, she called and asked if I could come half an hour later. It was no problem at all, and I really appreciate that she called to ask rather than just letting me arrive and wait. It gave me time to park my car, go upstairs, for a minute, etc., and not stress about trying to get there on time only to sit around waiting. I got a gel manicure and regular pedicure. Both came out looking fantastic and she really has a great selection of colors. She is efficient, but not rushed; my nails got more attention than they have in a while, and you can see it. And at $40 for a gel mani/pedi, which is exactly what I pay at the place in Oakland I go, it's definitely NOT overpriced. (The one I went to down the street charged me $50 for what was possibly the worst gel manicure and pedicure I've ever had in my life.) To top it all off, she is super sweet and friendly. She engages in friendly conversation with you without talking your ear off. I found her really sweet and genuine, and I am glad to have found her so that I can keep supporting her business! I know I will need to make an appointment but it's no problem...she obviously respects appointments, unlike some places, so I can be confident that if I have an appointment she will respect it (or call me to give me a heads-up if it needs to be changed). I'm a fan!! read more

Happy to echo the other reviews in saying Tracy is wonderful. She has a great selection of colors -- both regular and gel/shellac -- and is very thorough and clearly takes a lot of pride in her work. I've had my mani/pedi for 3 weeks now and everything has remained perfect! While that might partially be due to the gel (I'm never going back to regular!), I've had previous gel manicures that peel off within a couple of weeks, and this one isn't. I'll definitely be back! Since it's just Tracy who does the nails at this salon, I recommend calling and making an appointment to avoid a wait. I'm also a fan of the temperature-sensitive nail polish -- yes, like a mood ring! -- options she has, which I'd never seen before! It's like two manicures in one! read more

Left my nails looking STUNNING. She really takes her time and gets your nails looking perfect. She kept going over and over to make sure all my nails were perfectly shaped. And she went over and checked them throughly. If you want a manicure done right and nails looking healthy, clean and beautiful, go to Tracy! read more

Nail Care By Tracy - Nail Technicians Near Me

I almost don't want to write a raving review, because I want her place to be a kept secret, but since I only go every other week to see her, and I like her sooo much, I hope this brings her more business. First, Tracy is the sweetest nail lady you will ever meet. Not only is she nice to talk to during your nails getting done, but she is the biggest perfectionist that I've ever met. I've never in my life gone to just 1 nail lady. I usually just go into a place and get a mani and pedi ( sometimes happy sometimes not). But that is forever changed since I met Tracy, and I can no longer get my nails done by anyone else. If you're looking for a perfect mani/pedi, or shellac mani, she is the one to see. You will NOT be disappointed and you will be back. She also is a single mom and raises her daughter on her own, so its really nice to be able to give her business. Pay in cash if possible. read more

I have been a customer of Tracy from her last location in San Francisco! She is amazing! Great care and precision is what you get when getting your nails done by Tracy. Her gel manis last so long and stay shiny! I am so sad to have her move but I can tell you I will make a trip to Oakley for that perfect mani pedi ;) read more

Tracy is the best. Always super friendly. Very professional and has a great eye for detail.

I was in a rush to get a mani/pedi so I turned to Yelp for recommendations in the area. Nails by Tracy caught by attention right away because of all the great reviews. I did not hesitate & made an appointment right away! It can be a little confusing on where exactly her nail shop location is because when you first drive into the property it's just a regular house. I had an appointment and she knew I was a new customer so she was waiting outside to guide me into the back parking space. I was impressed with how nice and tidy her little shop was. She's very organized and clean and it's obvious she takes pride in her space. I had a hard time picking out a color because they were all so cute! She took her time on my pedi and made sure my lil piggies looked perfect before going on to my mani. I was very satisfied with both and will deff be going back! Totally recommend her. read more

Tracy is such a lovely person, she's kind, funny and knows her nails! I went to see her yesterday, I typically don't know much about getting nails done, I have them done once in a while but I did have an idea in mind. Tracy knew exactly what I needed and gave me various options to for the color I was looking for. She gave me sparkling pink gel nails and they look beautiful! Like tiny fairies on my fingers! I would recommend her for anyone in Oakley and Brentwood looking for someone with her kind of experience and creativity. I'd like to point out that she works inside a family owned Hair Salon between Del Antico Ave and 5th street, on Main St, Oakley. I got lost looking for her as I thought the name of the place was 'Nail Care by Tracy', no she's in a humble corner of the salon entrance. I just met her but she's a great person, we talked about her previous experience, she worked in SF for 10 years and still goes over there twice a month for the clients she left behind. She's a hard working lady and she knows her craft. Go see her, she won't disappoint you. She's new to the area and doesn't know much about Oakley/Brentwood so if you want to give her suggestions where her and her young daughter can visit, I'm sure she'd love that too. Go see her, she'll make you feel so pretty plus she's a friend waiting to happen. :) read more

I love this place! Aside from being very efficient, Tracy is very sweet and welcoming. She has a way of making you feel quite at home. Her work is very clean & like what Ruth R. mentioned, she is gentle on the cuticle which is a big plus for me. I had gelish manicure and regular pedicure done & I am extremely happy with my nails. I definitely recommend her. Thank you, Tracy! read more

Nice lady. Works on her own so sorry ladies , one at a time. She's located inside a hair salon. Parking was easy in the evening.

I was referred to this nail salon by yelpers and I was not disappointed!!! I went in without an appointment around 5pm today and she was able to accommodate me without any issues. I went in for a gel french mani and they turned out so beautiful!! WOW!! And she takes her time, I didn't feel rushed at all. I got to sit in a big comfortable chair and have a long chat with her while she did my nails. From what the other yelpers have said about her she is a perfectionist! I saw her use this brush to make sure my french tips have the nice square curve and she even added a layer of gel with some light sparkles. WOW again!! I recommend everyone come to her to get her nails done. She ended up giving me a big hug. Stand in line for this place ladies! read more

I was looking for a new place since the usual places are really now overbooked and always in a hurry to get you out of there. I looked on Yelp to guide me to a new spot, and all the reviews for Tracy were raving on how fab she was. Let me tell you, those previous reviews are spot on! She is the nicest person ever! She takes her time to do the job right. And when she is done, she lets you chill to let the polish dry. Other places don't let you do that. Since she knew I was a new client, she waited outside for me so I knew where to park and I wouldn't get lost going to her little shop, which by the way is super cute! I know I found my new spot, it's even better since it's so close to home. read more

Always in search of a good manicurist, I am so happy that I found Tracy. After trying various nail salons on Irving Street, I can say that Tracy is the best one.

Nail Care By Tracy - Love my nails as always! - Nail Technicians Near Me

I went to Tracy for the first time today based on the wonderful reviews she received here on Yelp. I was not disappointed! She schedules her clients effectively, you don't have to wait long to be the next one on the chair because she does not like to overlap her appointments. She gives you her undivided attention when she is working on your nails. I have been searching high and low for someone who actually know how to cut/trim your cuticles. She doesn't just push down the cuticles (like so many does), and she actually goes back a few times to ensure that the cuticles are clean and perfect. She is meticulous in her work. I will be a regular for sure! read more
