I just got a really pleasant and highly confident $25 ($30 w tip) express pedicure by Na, and plan to return. I especially appreciated that she pushed my cuticles back before cutting them, that she took extra care to scrub down dead, callus on my heel, and took extra care around spots where my pinky toenails are dead. My new favorite neighborhood nail salon. read more

My go to place for pedicure. Quiet, relaxed and excellent service from Hiedi. I have been a regular for nearly two years! Highly recommended! read more

Long time overdue for some good feedback for this place. First, parking is easy to find.

Shout out to Vicki for providing great service. This is definitely my go to for mani and pedi. Also, good pricing! read more

I recently moved to Oakland and was looking for a reliable, no frills nail salon, and that's exactly what I found in Nail Today. This is a 10/10 place, convenient location, and very friendly staff! Lan and Rose are the two techs I've seen, and they're both fantastic! read more

I LOVE this shop and all of the lovely women who work there. They are kind and caring and always very consistent in the services provided. I looked for several years for the "right" place and I have found it! read more

I highly recommend Nail Today! Prices are very reasonable and the staff is just excellent and so welcoming. I often get an acrylic set (usually around $50-$60, with designs) or a gel pedicure. The quality of the work is fantastic. They are very receptive to feedback, so don't be afraid to change your design or ask to alter it. read more

Been a regular here for a while for manicures & pedicures. Lam & her staff are top notch - friendly, nice, & professional. Love the massage chairs, hand/foot massage, foot hot towels, & the variety of nail polish colors. read more

most reasonable place for mani and pedi in the east bay. diane is so professional. feel fortunate to have found her.

Cannot recommend Vicky (Huong) highly enough. I tried another organic spa near coding school in Berkeley due to convenience recently and immediately regretted cheating on Vicky for my pedicure nail care. That technician cut my toenail beds too deep and it hurt for over a week. Vicky is the best at what she does. Super efficient but her skills are unparalleled. My nails always look and she is so down to earth and nice. I trust her implicitly to choose colors for me or to help me find what I'm trying to go for color wise. She is always willing to do a different color on my fourth finger if I want that. The salon itself is super cute. They have it all decked out right with holiday ornaments hung from the ceiling now. Clean with a bathroom in the back and a room for waxing. Been coming here to see Vicky (Huong) since before my now 4.8 year old was born. Since 2018-2019? Best local nail spot I've found since 2017. read more

Super cute and detailed always exactly what I want and she takes pride in making sure it looks perfect read more

Dear Today Nail - Miss Lan, I wanted to share my last experience, as the level of service I received during my last visit was extremely disappointing. I've always enjoyed coming in and have appreciated the work from both you and Vicky, which is why this situation has been so disheartening. During my visit, I was treated in a way that felt unappreciative and unprofessional. After giving Victoria a $10 tip, while I was still in my purse looking for more money to tip the other technician who did my manicure, Victoria loudly asked if I planned to tip her as well. This was unnecessary and embarrassing--especially since I have always tipped everyone who provides a service. Additionally, you asked me to move from my chair so another customer could sit, even though there were empty seats available. I found this request confusing and discourteous. I have been a loyal customer who doesn't complain and always tips well. However, after these recent experiences, I will no longer continue doing business with your salon, nor will I recommend it to others. I hope you will take this feedback seriously and use it as an opportunity to improve customer service within your team. Sincerely, read more

Stuff was super friendly, they acknowledged my birthday with a little gift and made my 5 year old feel very special too. And great prices! I'll definitely be going back. read more

Been coming here for over a decade and even converted my wife to come here too. We always call to make an apt. For the most part they are able to accommodate same day and next day apts but depends on the time, # of people and type of service you trying to get. Just pick up the phone and call. They accept walk-ins but 90% of time, I see them tell people to come back in X amount of time. Call me old school but I'm just loyal to my nail ladies. *Shout out to Lan, Huong, Diana! read more

I needed my nails done fast for an event and didn't know anyone in the area. I called this place and made an appointment to come in same day for gel mani and pedi. When I arrived I was surprised how fast and lovely the service was. The nails also looked amazing! I was out of there in 1 hour. I will definitely be back. Paid meter parking on the street. read more

Nail Today - Gel mani $25 + $8 for design - Nail Salons Near Me - Oakland, California

Got a gel manicure with Tran and she did a great job. Paid attention to detail and was patient when I accidentally snagged my nail on the light. I arrived at 5 for an appointment and was seated by 5:15. $25 for gel manicure because I didn't require removal, which was awesome. I'm looking forward to returning and getting a pedicure there, too! read more

My best friend loves this place, so I've come here quite a few times. Pros: Nail Today is a clean salon, usually with some paid street parking available out front. They accept credit card and the employees are very friendly. Good range of colors, too. Cons: I usually get regular mani and pedis here and the quality is inconsistent. One nail tech is extremely aggressive with cuticle cleaning and cut a few of my cuticles, leading to an unpleasant manicure (sucks when your nail bed is bleeding). My nail beds were red and sore the next day. Sometimes, even when you make an appointment you can wait up to 20 minutes to be seen. I've had my cuticles cut before but not at the same place. That indicates to me that speed is a priority over quality. I understand customer servicing and turnaround is important, but not at the expense of quality! Unfortunately, I won't be coming back here unless they can improve their consistency and quality of nail service. read more

This salon is incredible in every way. The salon staff has incredible attention to detail and the prices are so reasonable and fair for the area. Best quality service around and the money for value ratio can't be beat! The women who work here are so kind too. read more

I went to this place in April to get my eye Braws done. When I went home I realized that she didn't do a good job, I called twice and left messages, but no one answered my calls. I went to the business to ask her to fix it, she didn't not answer me, no follow up after thirty days, which is done every where else, never going there again! read more

I was referred to this Nail salon by a good friend who has gone here for years. I am not one to make appointments in advance as I prefer to be spontaneous. I walked in and was set up for a pedicure with Na - she was friendly and skilled and did a thorough job. Next time I went with an appointment and saw Diane. She also did an excellent pedicure and I am pleased with the result. I inquired about waxing and made an appointment to see Lan on a Friday. She takes appointments only Friday - Sunday. She was pleasant, skilled and thorough. I will definitely switch to Nail Today for this service. I highly recommend Nail Today for all nail care and waxing and appreciate this opportunity to give this business a positive review. Another plus - it is within walking distance of my home! read more

Great service, great nails! Been going here for 15 years. Make an appointment, especially the weekends read more

I have been going to Nail Today for over 30 years. Diane does an amazing mani pedi. And when Diane isn't there, anyone else in the salon is fabulous. They pay attention to detail and it's a calm, relaxing atmosphere. Today was my first waxing experience. Lan was incredible! Again, attention to detail and incredibly professional. I highly calling to make an appointment with Lan for all your waxing needs. Thank you, Lan. read more

Seriously love my pedicure. I made a 9am appointment the day before and they were able to accommodate me:) I walked in and was welcomed in. I picked out a lovely peach color and got into the chair. They had a wonderful selection of colors and brands. Service was prompt and professional and she did a great job. I actually ended up picking a white color just because summer is almost over. This is a very popular place. Make sure you come in on time and that you have an appointment. They got busy within 20 minutes of opening. I was out within an hour and was very satisfied with their service. Will be back. read more

Best place for a pedicure! The ladies are super nice and accommodating. Paying the extra $5 for a deluxe pedicure is worth it. The leg and foot massage is amazinggggg! We were lucky they weren't busy when we went. Apparently, the day before (Sat) was super busy. Best to make an appointment if you can. Will continue to keep coming here! Healthy and safety measures definitely made me feel comfortable. Taking your temp upon entering, hand sanitizing, and partitions installed at each station were all exhibited. read more

Lan did my nails, and Diane did my toes. They don't have many examples with designs in the shop but they have a plethora of goodies, gems, stones, flakes, chrome colors etc. just have to ask. read more

My to go to spot, Nail Today is a part of what makes Oakland home to me! All the women here are amazing! So kind, professional and always help me out! Look, they do good work and good work takes time so if you're doing an acrylic fill and a pedicure, give it at least an hour and a half! And pick a time when it's not busy, you can ask when you call! Lan and Tran do my nails now that I do acrylic but all of the ladies do great gel, Vicky would always do mine! And the pedicures are my favorite with everyone but I do get a little extra happy when it's Hidie that does it. They like photos for reference and prices are affordable and consistent and they're always up front with you about it. Also when you're loyal, so are they. Sometimes I'm reckless, my toe nail polish might smudge and they'll take care of it at no charge. Just amazing customer service and great work! read more

COVID update: they've reopened! I've never been in such a dire need for mani/pedi. Your temperature will be taken and a health questionnaire administered upon entry. Pedi stations have dividers of plastic tarp in between and guests are socially distanced. I felt comfortable with the COVID measures they have in place and I'm so glad they're open again! read more

Nan did a fantastic job on my nails so she deserves 5stars. The business is mediocre. I called on a time crunch asking if I came in 10 min could I get a mani/pedi they checked the book and said yes but I waited over 30 min once I got there. Most customers had someone different doing fingers and toes I had the same and while she was great it added time to my appt I didn't really have. I understand places get busy but be honest with customers. If you can't see me in 10 min don't say you can. read more

I think I've found my new nail salon. Highlights: -- Even while the salon was pretty much full capacity the ladies welcomed me and later apologized for the wait (which happens! all good!) -- Nail Shaping was 5 stars. I feel like the bedrock of a solid nail salon is how the nail artist shapes your nails... I showed Vicky one photo and she shaped my nails beautifully. -- Speaking of Vicky, what a star. Hilarious, sweet, and has a solid opinion on what would look good. The last point is particularly helpful for folks like me who come in with a vague idea and wants to put trust in the experts' hands. Vicky's an expert through and through - don't ask for her, cause I want to make sure she's free for me. -- Another artist, Tina, also did my pedicure and what I most appreciated about her is that at the very last top coat, a small piece of dust fell into my polish and she spent time pulling it out, cleaning it up, and redoing it. She even apologized! Why is this your fault! Everyone here is so sweet. All in all... new salons are always a hit or miss for me. Esp if the salon isn't "instagrammable" on Yelp photos (don't lie, you know what this means). But when the service is so solid and the humans are so good at what they do... sign me up. For $30 gel manicures, I will absolutely be back. P.s. I'm currently writing this review sitting in the spa chair waiting for my pedicure to dry... it's pretty full here and no one is pushing me to pay or to get me out. Come for the nail service, stay for the chill vibes. read more
