So I was having a problem with the nail care I was receiving so I searched for a new local nail shop in Oakley who could also do the designs that I had grown used to from my favorite Concord shop. I took a couple of weeks to decide if I was just going to do them self, travel to Concord or actually try again. I drove up and wondered if I was going to be comfortable here but to my surprise I walked in to an older establishment that was very nicely decorated. I was welcomed immediately and my name was confirmed and escorted to my seat. (No waiting? AMAZING). The lady who prepped my hands to soak off the old nail overlays was amazed at how much product was on each nail. When I confirm that it was from one fill set and one fill, her face matched my feelings of why I made the appointment and I began to relax. Once all the old gel top was shaved off, my hands were prepped in the solution and then I was sat in a spa chair to soak and have my pedicure. There are 2 main choices for pedicure level 1 (A,B, C) and level 2 (Pedi in a Box). I chose the #2 and I'm so glad that I did. #2 came with a choice of scent and I picked lavender for relaxation from ~20 different scents. Then the pedicure started and boy let me tell you its been months since my feet felt and looked this good. Amy is a fantastic technitian and I told her then that I would definitely be back! Once the pedi was over I was moved back to the nail station. I was asked if it was ok for my real nails to be cut down to start over and then the most gentle take off I've ever experienced in life happened. I was in shock. No pain at all from this shop or nail tech! (Yes, Amy did it ALL). Please not that because I wanted a particular shape, the owner Vu did my shaping but Ms Amy did everything else. This shop does design but please let them know when you call to schedule that you would like a design on _# of fingers. I did not know this and backed up their schedule just s bit so I waited a bit but totally understood and appreciated their respect of people's time! All "routine" appointments get 1 hour unless you specify on your call your needs. If they don't know, then they may not have time necessary to complete your desired design. I love my turn out and will continue to patron this nail shop. They are pure professionals and I love my end product. Pricing subject to change: Take off+ cut down + full set + extension tips + pink & glitter ombré + 10 finger design less than $100. Pedicure with design less than $60. Cash tips preferred: $1 fee for charged to credit/debit card. This place is a true diamond! Zero complaints!!!
Saint Patrick nails . Dip powder . Great job. Amy always makes sure I'm happy with my nails .
I grew up in the neighborhood right down the street from Oakley shop and center. I've lived here when this was the one and only nail salon in town. Before I could drive I would walk here to use some of my tiny pay check that I earned while working my very first minimum wage job to get my nails done. I've always admired their commitment to their craft and their warm and inviting nature. They never fail on making each and every customer feel important and valued and like they are their favorite client in the world. To me that type of personalized approach is what sticks and what keeps customers coming back year after year. While I did move away for college and go other salons over the course of the 17 years I've been getting my nails professionally done - I've found my way back here again and it's not easy for me to recall why I loved this salon so much to begin with. I don't write many reviews but when and if I do it's because I genuinely believe in the establishment and or the product being referenced. If you have children it's nice because yogurt island is right next door (best yogurt place around ) and you'll also find the best pizza (skippolinis) the most amazing Chinese food (silver river) and the best tacos in town (la costa ) all right here in this same shopping center. Make the right choice and choose NAIL TEK II. I promise you whole heartedly that you will not regret that decision.
I've been going to VU for the last few years. He's literally the best! I'm very picky with my nails & he nails it every time! From coffin shape to stiletto, you name it he can do it. The last few months we've been doing powder nails with designs. Let me tell you i'm IN LOVE with this latest set we did! Tanya & Amy are both amazing at pedicures, it's always a full hour and the best massage! Do yourself a favor and book an appointment at nail tech!
I was in search of a new nail salon and this place was highly recommended to me by many in a local facebook group. They all said VU was the best. It was recommended to make an appointment. I called two days prior was able to get in today, Saturday. I was greeted, which is huge. Many salons don't acknowledge you, so this was a big deal to me. And he immediately took me at my scheduled time...another plus! I was impressed with how detail oriented he was. They are all uniform and a nice thickness...just like regular nails. The full set took almost an hour, maybe 50 minutes. I had a full set and gel polish. Cost was $45. I Paid cash but there is a fee to use a credit card. I highly recommend Vu. Will definitely be back for my fill.
Love the work and attention that is put on making my nails look great every time. I'm here about every 2-3 weeks. Always so nice and welcoming!
*****THE GO TO NAIL SPOT!***** I almost didn't want to give away my secret to PERFECT acrylics but I have to let it be known! I have been lagging on this review for almost a year now. The owners VU & AMY are the best! I would recommend them any day. I personally like making appointments with Vu for acrylics because he is always down with trying my crazy and complicated ideas and designs. He also PERFECTS the shape, which not a lot of people can do by the way and I've been to more nail spots than the average person. I appreciate the skill that goes into his work. He also gives legit fills. I honestly think he is the only person I know that can hide that ugly line from where the nail grew out. There are two other employees that work at this location, one of them actually worked at the salon BEFORE it was renovated and when it was NOT the business. I usually get my pedicures done by them and never have any problems. If you got them ingrowns tho, I suggest you get down with Amy who my mom prefers. This place is nice and clean especially compared to what it use to be like. Vu also hooked me up with more mood changing colors that I requested! I am so happy I gave this place a shot after management changed! Even though I currently live in Pittsburg I still make the trip out to come here! It's WORTH it and the prices are reasonable! I NEVER leave here unhappy and they make sure of that. You can't beat quality! Tell em' ROXY sent ya!
Went to this place as walk-in. Amy did an amazing job with my nails. Her hand is very gentle that it makes me so relaxed and feel like falling asleep. I've been to different nail salon, but I never came out of the salon as happy as I was today. This is now my go to place. Thanks Amy and Vu for doing my daughter's nails.

Amazing service when I come here. Forgot his name but the man who did my gel X was amazing and his attention to detail is excellent. I wasn't going to do a full set and actually decided last minute that I wasn't going to but he suggested I do since my nails were very short. I'm glad I did it because I feel like myself again and the color is amazing. I'd like to thank one of the ladies who did my pedicure as she asked 3 times that my original color would be too sheer so I'm happy she gave me an opportunity to change it because the color is fabulous! read more

I had a terrible experience here and will not be returning. The nail tech was clearly rushing the entire service and could not execute a simple white French tip. The lines were uneven, sloppy, and not filled in correctly. When I politely asked him to fix them, he became visibly upset and started complaining and cussing instead of correcting the work professionally. Instead of fixing the French tips properly, he angrily added white all over my nails, making them worse, and then proceeded to remove product out of frustration. The entire interaction was uncomfortable, unprofessional, and disrespectful. I expect basic professionalism, especially when paying for a service. If you can't take feedback or perform a standard French tip without getting upset, you shouldn't be working on clients. Save your money and go somewhere else. read more

Meh there good if you want just a basic color but there not good at nail art. I've also been here for two hours getting my nails done. I wanted flames on my nails and they said they could but when they tried they were really bad. So I settled for the v thing but I have to go back because I just want to cover my nail art. read more

The reviews on pedicures here had me feeling confident and comfortable walking in for a service while in town visiting my family. I said that I was wanting nude French tip pink on the whole nail, and I get spray tans so I can't have the scrubs on the legs. I said extra callus remover add on was fine for my feet as needed, just couldn't have it up my legs. When the technician asked me if I was happy with the polish and I saw that she had done French tips, I pointed out that while the lines were well done, I had not asked for a French tip but that she could leave it since she'd already done one foot. I went back to my emails. Once she finished I got up to use the restroom. I noticed upon inspection that my FEET didn't look or feel as pampered as they should have. When I payed, i noticed I was being charged for the French tip that I never asked for. I asked to speak with a manager to discuss the situation. The response has me floored. I was told that 'there is just some skin that won't come off' and was shrugged off as if I was asking for too much for expecting my service to be complete. I didn't even bring up the polish issue at this point, this business owner did not care one bit. Photos below are right when I got back from my 'pedicure' and then once I took a basic pumice stone to the areas I was told were acceptably sloppily serviced. Absolutely ridiculous. read more

I had my nails done by Vu all last year and was pleased with his work. I recently went in after not having nails for a while and got a full set. I picked a light turquoise from a demo he had in the salon. After getting it done I realized it was way darker and uglier than what I picked. I called him three days later and ask him if I could pay to have it removed. He was clearly disturbed about my decision. He would not do it. Told me that all I could do was paint over them. ... Then he had no time to take me. I will not go back. I ended up going to another salon where they took the crap off. read more

Today was my first day time going to this place, and I have mixed feelings. I had an appt @ 4:30pm (and yes I was on time) and when I got there I was not greeted, no one said can I help you or do you have an appt or anything; then once I was finally acknowledge I was told that I would have to wait 10-15mins more...why make an appointment then? But once I was seen Tiffany did my pedicure and OMG I am so pleased, she did a phenomenal job . So I don't know if I want to go back. read more
