    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.

    I'm sharing this because everyone deserves their perfect nails. This is the spot. Creative patient open to new looks and methods.

    Love it

    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.

I was really worried about it tearing off and I was nervous to go to anyone to have it repaired. Sam was SUPER gentle and caring. I had given up and was resigned to having half a nail for a few months but Sam was able to fix it for me! I attached photos of my broken nail that needed repair, how it looked after Sam fixed it before polish (you can't even see the crack!) and the final set once Sam was done. I am so grateful and will definitely be coming back. Thank you so much!!

First, I was shocked that a basic kids' pedicure for my 8-year-old son cost $27. All they did was trim and clean his nails, followed by a short leg massage. That price seems extremely high for such a simple service, and there was never any discussion of pricing beforehand. The biggest issue, though, was my own nails. I paid about $55 for my gel manicure--$35 for gel polish, plus an additional $20 for a French tip and a small Mickey design. When I woke up the very next morning, less than 24 hours later, the entire gel polish had already peeled completely off one of my thumbnails. The French tip and Mickey design on other nails were also already lifting and peeling. I've never had a gel manicure fail this quickly. If I lived closer and didn't have to drive across the bridge, I would absolutely return to request a full refund because this level of quality is unacceptable. Between my dad, my two kids, and me, we spent close to $500, so we expected much better workmanship. My daughter's nails actually turned out great, so this review is strictly about the quality of my nails. One other thing that bothered me was my dad's pedicure. The staff kept offering him additional services during the appointment, and he kept saying yes without realizing each one came with an extra charge. By the end, his pedicure totaled over $100 plus tip. I really think pricing for add-on services should be clearly explained before they're performed so customers can make informed decisions. I've attached photos showing my thumbnail the morning after my appointment, along with photos I took the night before. It's incredibly disappointing to spend this much money and have a gel manicure start peeling in less than 24 hours.
