    Amazing nail art!

    Thank you Kay for the wonderful Disney nails. I got so many compliments on our trip and I just love how these came out. You are an amazing nail technician and I'm so grateful for the beautiful nails you always create.

    The Nail Salon staff provides EXCELLENT customer service! I couldn't be happier with the gel manicures and deluxe pedicures services each and every time. My nail technician, Tina (and owner), is incredibly professional, patient, and paid incredible attention to detail. My gel manicure turned out absolutely perfect with clean edges, beautiful color, and flawless shine. Tina places the nail stickers in a creative and artful style. The salon was very clean and had a calm, relaxing atmosphere. I truly felt pampered. I highly recommend this salon and can't wait for my next appointment!

    Some blush and chrome magnificence today thanks Tina!

    I've been going to the Nail Salon in Castro Valley for my mani and pedi, and I always leave happy! Tina is amazing -- she does a good job, whether it's a simple, clean look or a more specialized request. The whole team is friendly and welcoming. Thanks, Tina and all the wonderful ladies at the Nail Salon! I always look forward to my next appointment

    Kate did a Great job again! I'm impressed with her talent. Entire team was fantastic and friendly. Thank you Kate.

    Before they destroyed my nails

    I've been coming here for over 10 years. The girl that usually does my pedis left and i've still tried to stay loyal to them. But with this last experience they've lost my business. -------------- I came a week and a half ago for a pedi my toenails still looked good. I usually get gel deluxe pedi. The girl that did my toes cut them down and left them super all super crooked. and was literally ready to put the color coat on it. When I pointed out that they were all messed up. She filed and made them worse I told her again and she filed again. At that point i just told her to stop everything and not to do anything else. Im very disappointed with the way this is was handled and that they still charged me $30 for destroying my nails. I have to go get my pedicure fixed elsewhere. And I honestly feel it's unfair to me.

    This is what a $50 manicure is here chunky nail polish. The girl there kept hurting me even to file and I kept telling her she's hurting me and continued. I paid my $50 and they had the audacity to be offended that I didn't tip well. Provide better service and I would. First and last time coming here. Avoid this spot.

    I've been coming here for years and Kelly does my nails all the time. The staff are amazing! You can show /or explain your preference for your nails and they have your nails looking beautiful for weeks!

    Deluxe pedi

    Upon arrival, you have to sign a waiver stating you do not have any Covid symptoms, then you get your temperature taken before you start. Price was fair.. I paid $38 for the deluxe pedicure, which was pretty good and relaxing, I do wish they would've massaged my feet and legs more but their massage chair was nice and comfy. The techs there are all very sweet, we had a friend who was running behind and since we were done, they told us to just relax with our friend and hang out until she's done. They didn't rush us to pay or anything, just wanted us to take our time and enjoy the moment!

    A no-frills nail salon that gets the job done. I had made an appointment ahead of time and they had me in and out the door within 45 minutes. At first, I questioned the cleanliness and maintenance of this place given the murky water in the fish tank and how cluttered it was. My massage chair and the remote control wire were patched up with duct tape, and some of the remote control buttons didn't work. That being said, I was put more at ease when I saw the plastic liners in the foot tubs and the nail tools they use come out in sterile packages. The nail techs didn't really try and make conversation which is fine by me, opting to talk to one another in Vietnamese. Maybe it's been awhile since I've had my nails done, but I felt like my manicurist had at it with the cuticle trimmers (and yes, I did tell her from the get go that I liked to keep the cuticles pushed back and trimming to a minimum). My pedicurist kept it to a minimum, so I appreciated that. Plus, she gave a pretty relaxing leg massage with some mango-scented exfoliant, foot scrub, and some hot stones. I begrudgingly admit I like how my gel manicure and pedicure turned out. It's been a week and a half and no chips and for $48 ($1 extra for using credit or debit card), it's a great value. Cash tips are strongly preferred. As mentioned before, a no-frills nail salon (it's called Nail Salon, for goodness sake!) that gets the job done.

    Keeping the wondering what's next.

    Who is recommended for builder gel?

    I like Tina and Kay!

    How much is a gel manicure and a regular pedicure?

    Do they have OPI gel?

    They don't have OPI, but the gel the do have (DND) is amazing and stays until you get it removed.

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. It's chill, one-on-one, and you can tell she really cares about quality. She has a gorgeous selection of colors and uses high-end products, which I think is why everything lasts so long. The first time I went, my nails were in sad shape and I honestly didn't think they'd bounce back. A month later? I've got legit nails I'm proud to show off. If you're looking for a new nail tech who's talented, kind, and really knows her stuff, definitely give Sam a try. I've already planned my next visit.

    *Do NOT go here. I left my manicure today with bleeding and angry cuticles*…read more I walked in with no hangnails or anything, truly perfect untouched nail beds and clean nails, and left with bloody and aching fingers. I don't get manicures regularly so I didn't realize the man doing my nails was butchering them until it was too late. Basically, he used the machine for gel removal/nail buffing to completely annihilate my nails and cuticles; instead of using cuticle softener or soaking my hands in warm water, he went straight in with the machine and essentially drilled everything off. The surface of all of my nails is now ruined, and I have cut up cuticles that are bleeding and aching. I went home and put Neosporin and band-aids on all of my fingers. I can't stress enough that none of these fingers had hangnails or anything that would warrant roughness/leave them this red and bloody. Multiple staff members saw the blood and did not offer any kind of discount - they did put some rubbing alcohol on two of the fingers, but it didn't feel like enough to mitigate infection risk.

I had to wait a bit even though I made appointment and they weren't really busy. Service for my acrylic fill was fast. I did like how gentle she was but she had to finish my fill and then go to another person. They then had someone else put the polish on my nails which is fine but I would have rather had same one. Within 3 days 3 nails broken. I felt price was high and thought it's ridicules they charge extra cateye when it's still painting a regular color on and just using the magnet?. I got charged for med length nails but feel my nails should be considered short $57 $15 for cat eye polish ??? I could of gone out and got a deli sandwich sorry that's a meal right there $2 charge for using a CC which I know ok it's 2 dollars (I don't agree with especially being a business owner myself you need to just eat that cost/write off those CC fees yourself for all of your transactions you do a day. Also it's not like I was trying to pay my $5 tab I paid $79 on my card. I got no special design or any rhinestone I didn't get a copy of my receipt but I swear they must of charge a service fee for tip or tax. Now I got to spend more money on another place to fix because you know I'm not going come back for a $10 per nail fix because you know they wont fix for free having it be only 3 days. Also in the front they have a sign that says no refunds so they must rip off a lot of ppl by charging all the upcharges without informing customers of price.
