For my simple gals who want a mani/pedi combo for a great price, this is the place to go! Nail Genie is definitely your go-to mom & pop salon, nothing super "boujee" or "fancy" but these are places that happen to be the best hidden gems! I truly feel like you get the best bang for your buck here. I have been a regular here since high school as well as my mom and aunt. Lisa has always treated us well, but all the other ladies who work here are very nice too. I got a pedicure ($23) and got my go-to white toes. I hadn't seen Lisa in literally half a year, but when I sat down she said, "White toes again today?". She remembers that I only get white toes haha! She is so personable, and it warms my heart to see her interactions with her regular clients -- they are so loyal to her. A lot of the clients who come here are loyal to this place. and I feel that says a lot about a place! For reference, a gel mani/pedi as of 3/18/2022 is $25 each! ($50 for both) Thats a GREAT deal! I also used to get my acrylics done here all of high school before I ventured off to more fancier acrylics places, but just know that they do do them here! I digress... OVERALL this place will always have a place in my heart as I love the people who work here, super affordable and reasonable in pricing, and I just love supporting small businesses that I have always supported for many years! read more

Nail Genie - Nude acrylic nail refill. - Nail Salons Near Me - Newark, California

Whenever I go to the Bay from LA, this is my first stop. It's reasonably priced & I always have a great experience. If you want a great deal on gel nails & a spa pedicure, this could be your go-to place. This is a cute, little nail salon and is great option if you call ahead and make an appointment. Right now it's appointment only and is small woman-run business. She's very fast & efficient, but you have to call ahead so you can make sure she can squeeze you into her schedule. I have to tell you. I haven't found a place where I can get a nicely shaped gel manicure and spa pedicure for $55. read more

Everything was great. People were nice and good prices but I don't get to go to the salon that often, and I was expecting them to paint all the edges of my toes, but they forgot to paint the top edge of my toenails and on my nails as well.... Super disappointed I don't get to do this often so im sad. read more

Nail Genie - she didn't get the top edge of them, pretty disappointed.... Would have been nice if they took the time to paint the whole toenail for me. - Nail Salons Near Me - Newark, California

I've been on and off to this salon for years. Only because my nails need a break. But my mother is a regular and my best friend as well. Of all the times here, only once I wasn't completely satisfied, asking for a tigers eye on both mani and pedi, but the pedi person was clueless. read more

I picked a brownish color, Tiramisu Slice. When I went out in the sun, this is the color,.. very far from the color I thought it was. I'm pleased nonetheless. Thanks to Tracy. I haven't visited this salon for over a year because of the pandemic. They did a great job in updating the place. New tiled floor, look more spacious, clean and safe as they put a clear barrier between the customer and manicurist. Price is reasonable. read more

Trashhh! Don't go there. Been less than 23hrs and I already have a chipped nail the edges are so chopppy and the service was so rushed! They made me walk bearfoot on the nail filled floors. Also not Covid friendly at all! No sanitizing no cleaning machines or table tops. It was gross had to take a shower after coming back cause I felt disgusting read more

Nail Genie - This is a gel manicure it's literally been lesss than 24 hrs and it's been chipped! - Nail Salons Near Me - Newark, California

Anytime i ask for a soak off they rather just rip my nail off! Always leaving them very thin and brittle. The looks on the inside is okay, not ugly but still. Anytime I go to get my nails done it never looks like the picture either. They dont have cute charms. I've tried to give them many many chances to get them done and taken off. yet they still change prices for a soak off ? First 7$ now 10$? read more

Lisa, Rose and Helen are the best! They are fun, do a great mani pedi, and are very reasonable. I have read one bad review on here with pictures of another salon! I have been coming to Nail Genie for 10 or more years. I drive across the Bay just to see them. They do a fantastic Job...it is rare I have a nail lift. The pedicures are heavenly. They disinfect the pedicure bowls after every use and wear masks. The shop could use a facelift...but they are usually very busy all the time. I would never consider going anywhere else! Love them and the quality of their work. read more

I came in for both a mani & pedi. One of the lady said it was $45 for pedi with gel & $50 for acrylic set mani with gel ( which was fine ). Then the lady adds an extra $2 for PLASTIC BAG TO COVER THE FOOT TUB . One it's very unsanitary that they do not use bags on the tub, two she reused almost every nail product on my feet ( which I'm not tripping about ) BUT IT WAS NOT SANITIZED with alcohol correctly , and threw $2 for a plastic bag VERY INSANE AND RIPOFF Moving forwards , it has been less than a week and my acrylic fell off. The lady did not care to scuff enough of my nail bed which would help my nails last nor did she cut my cuticles so my nails doesn't get old fast !! I AM SO FURIOUS BECAUSE I WAS CHARGED $100 for job not well done. TOWARDS THE END, instead of charging me $98, they automocally rounded it to an $100. I was planning on giving a 20% tip but F* that I left out . Overall, I really loved the job one of the lady did for my pedi but my manicure, I HATE IT & I WANT A REFILL FOR FREE. I will go on twitter/ ig/ Facebook and complain if they do not reach out to me and offer me a free refill or some type of incentives. I know I sound a aggressive and angry but when my nails only last for less than a week and I was charged $100 for everything , you can fill my pain ! read more

Love love love this location! My mom had been coming here for years and her toes always look amazing. So finally after many many other unsatisfied places in the Fremont/ Newark area I gave nail genie a shot! Only thing I wish I would have known was to start coming here sooner! I am always seen by Rose, and from beginning to end she never disappoints. I recommended making a appointment in advance because she can book up quickly. Pedicures are 18$ and are by far way better than any 30/40$ dollar pedicure I have ever received. My feet always look amazing until my next visit which is about every 2 weeks. Thanks Rose for your amazing job! read more

Nail Genie - Best pedicure ever. - Nail Salons Near Me - Newark, California

Was in the area and decided to pull out my handy dandy yelp app to find a place to get my nails did! A couple friends have mentioned this place and I am glad I gave it a try. They are busy even on a Wednesday so I am glad I called and Rose was available to squeeze me in last minute. The place isnt updated and does look run down. They are clean and sanitize their tools. Rose was so fast at what she does and she does an amazing job. Rose knows what shes doing and shes very friendly. Price was very cheap compare to other places I have been. I defin will be back depending on how much my nails lift or stay intact the next couple weeks. Parking was very easy and place is easy to find. read more

Nail Genie - Rose is on point! Defin will be back! - Nail Salons Near Me - Newark, California

Rose is the best thing about this place. Shes moved to Fantastic Cuts in the same shopping center. She has a very nice space there.. They're not telling her clients she's gone or that she's close by. Fantastic cuts is facing the Chevron station. I was happy I had her number so I was able to find her. read more

I made an appointment here and had Lisa. She was sweet, professional, fast, neat and clean. Will definitely be back. $23 for a Gel fill, it is by far the best price in the area. read more

Love love love this spot. Nice, clean and friendly. I have been trying a few different places due to the shut down and wasn't sure what to expect. I would recommend this nail spot any day. Fast friendly and great service. I got my pedicure done by Nina. I went with my daughter and my friend who had other ladies working on them. All of us were so happy with our pedicures and one full set. read more

Honestly the way they do nails is good. But they have a bad attitude. I got me and my friend's nails here. My friend ended up paying by venmo and she gave $5 tip. And the way Amy acted was weird. She lifted the side of my chair up and slammed it. And they started talking in their languange. I said thank you to her and she continued on walking and talking shit. I hate this place honestly i'll never come back here again. Honestly we're not obligated to give tip but as an appreciation we do it but you can't be giving attitude just because you didn't get the tip you wanted. Don't be greedy and you give what you can. read more

The inside is definitely a hole in the wall... Not very clean or decorative but the two gals were very friendly and welcoming. I got a fill and a pedi and both came out pretty good (I'm a REAL picky person and travel from SJ to Newark to get my nails done somewhere else - but they were on vacation, and I desperately needed a fill and pedi so I thought I'd see what was nearby my other salon. although, they didn't clean up the polish on one of fingers and one of my big toes had a tiny gap of missing polish (told you I was picky!), I was overall happy with how my nails and toes looked. Rose was great!! This will def be my 'backup' when my other salon is booked. I'm only giving 4 stars because the inside looks pretty beat up and run down. They can def use a makeover to make it look nice, clean, and bright - to match their quality of service. They deserve it! read more

Went today to get a much needed mani/pedi. Didn't have to wait, but I did go a hour after they opened. Helen did my pedicure And Rose did my manicure. Both ladies where very nice and did a great job. They were quick but also thorough. I am very pleased with my first visit to Nail Genie. I will definitely come back. I paid $29 for both. read more

Rose is super sweet and her prices are extremely reasonable! I would recommend Nail Genie to everyone for manicures and pedicures,

Ive been going to these ladies forever!!! Ive been goin to them for 13yrs. It may not be the fanciest spot but the service and quality of what and how they do their work is worth it. Ive tried new fancy spots that charge and arm and a leg for some bullcrap extras, and I ALWAYS end up with these ladies. Helen is a pedicure god. You should most defenitely request her, shes amazing. Their prices are reasonable and affordable. Lisa and Rose do beautiful nails. read more

I only go here nowadays for pedicures only because of their reasonable price. Lisa, Rose, and Helen are really nice people. I always end up getting my pedicure from Helen. Their pedicures are simple and nothing fancy. They have recently upgraded to better pedicure chairs. A pedicure here will cost you $18 and I always give tip. I always bring my own polish. read more

DO NOT EVER COME TO THIS PLACE!!! Rude people, no customer service!!! They didn't put the sign that their credit card machine is supposedly "BROKEN" when they actually prefer cash payment. They even looked into my wallet when I opened it, and when she saw I have cash, she forced me to pay with cash, I mentioned I want to use my card, she pretended to charge my credit card and then came back that their credit card machine was broken. SCAM, IRS better check this place!!! read more

I hardly do reviews but i had a bad experience so putting this out there so you find a better place/save your $, I'm not going back. I called ahead of time to make an appointment for a gel mani and regular pedi but they asked I come in asap cause it was about to get super busy. Luckily I was available so I went in within 10 min from calling. I noticed they had a cash only sign when I walked in and told them I didn't know it was cash only but I could grab $ at the chase around the corner after. They said they take card but there's an extra fee I said that was fine but they insisted I pay in cash and that I go immediately to chase, so I went and came back quickly since they made it seem like they were about to get super busy when we talked over the phone. They had a person do my pedi, it felt rushed and she was super rough with my cuticles. They had 2 ppl work on my mani one removed cuticles also very rough and was supposed to shape my nails. I asked for almond shape, she kept them square so when I asked her to shape them to my liking the owner/manager? Walked by and said they fix that after they apply gel... never heard of that but I said ok. They had another lady apply gel and it was done poorly... I didn't notice till after I left but she didn't apply it evenly on my nails and looked super low on my nail bed. It looked like I had the mani 2 days in already; also didn't shape my nails as I asked. And of course it didn't even last more than 3 days. They charge $25 for gel mani and $22 for reg. pedi. On the lower end of pricing, from other places I've been to but bad experience overall super rushed, didn't feel like they listened to me, seemed so eager to get me out (not the relaxing experience I hoped for), and gel mani didn't last. Wouldn't recommend, and unfortunately I'm still on the lookout for a nail salon that I can call my regular spot here in union city. read more

I love this place! They are inexpensive and so sweet. I ask for Rose mostly. She does a flawless job with gel over acrillic. They don't charge a lot. True they don't do a full paraffin wax unless you ask for it. But I've always gotten a complete massage. I've tried all the other places in the neighborhood and this place is the best!!! *****Bonus Stars because I left a book I was reading there and they saved it for me until I called for my fill (since they didn't have my number) read more

I love the service and prices here. It's such a relaxing experience. While the ambiance is dated, it doesn't have an effect on anything else. Always call ahead for an appointment; these ladies are busy! (Always a great sign of an excellent business!!) read more

Just left my first appointment with them! Excellent work!! Lisa was very good and fast! I had a fill and gel polish for my nails! Done in less than an hour! Very nice ladies and they're really very accommodating! Very relaxing and calming place to come especially after a long day at work! I highly recommend this place! It's a Very Awesome and clean place with Great Prices!! read more

Ive been going to this place for over 25 years, back in the day when they were Exquisite Nails. Lisa is awesome! Nails last for at least 3 weeks no prob! If you are looking for good quality, long lasting nails for a very reasonable price, this is the place! My mother, friends and family all get there nails done here. Love it! read more

Great prices, as in the cheapest I've encountered around the area. Environment is dull, but I don't care. This is a good place to go if you're ballin on a budget. You're nails will turn out great and you won't feel broke after. I feel like the less I pay for service the more I can tip. 3 friendly ladies run it and have many loyal customers. So don't let the out dated decor fool you, they get busy. I'd call ahead to schedule an appointment the day of or next day. I like the way Helen does my pedicures. Once you sit down, they will work as fast and efficient as possible. read more

Great place to go get your nails done if you're in the area. I've tried other places in the area, but so far, Nail Genie, is my first choice if I can't make it to San Francisco. My friends, family, and I have been going here for years. Weekends can get pretty busy because it's pretty well known. But it's worth the wait. They have a lot of people working so the wait isn't too bad. read more

I got my nails done here and they came out amazing. Me and my two sisters came to get our nails done before a wedding and sure will be back. The pedicure was also amazing. I always hate how shorth my nails come out and rose made sure they would be the perfect length! You won't be sorry if you come here. read more

Very disappointed in the service. I came in to get powder nails removed and the removal process wasn't gentle or thorough and was very rushed. When I pointed out afterwards that my nails were jagged and uneven from quick, poor filing I was told no they're fine. When I pointed out there was still left over residue from the powder on my nail I was also told no they're fine, but I insisted and she hurriedly touched up a couple spots. I'll have to go home and refile and touch my nails up myself. Definitely not worth the time and money to stop by here. read more
