Came back for a gel removal and regular lacquer manicure. The tech has amazing nails which she does herself, so I know I was in good hands. She did a great job, very thorough and precise. The staff followed up about my pedicure experience last time, which I really appreciated. This shop clearly wants to build a loyal and happy client base. Glad I gave them a second try-- will return for sure! read more

Ambiance is 5 stars! Louie's pedicure 5 stars. So glad I tried this place. It is located on a block with other nail shops. So I assume competition is fierce. The owner "Kelly" was quick to answer all my questions via text. She was welcoming & friendly. However appeared nervous and she kept talking to Louie & making him nervous. Not sure if she was rushing him or what. Which felt uncomfortable. She did it often in my 60 minutes. Then while he was painting my toenails she rushed over & reached under my legs by an inch or so to pull plastic tub cover out from the bowl. Hello! My toes are getting painted... And the kicker was no customer came in after that. So it wasn't necessary. She didn't need my chair. That's the reason I gave 4 stars. I do feel bad; she got her incense holder, incense, offerings & platter stolen & broken while I was getting my feet done. Which probably put her on edge. I think her shop is the busiest because she cares so much. I really like my pedicure from Louie! read more

I had such a great experience today during my first visit to Nails by Ken. everyone was very nice and my nail technician, Vy, was amazing! I was not happy with the last several services I had at another salon, and Vy really took the time to listen and consult with me. she remedied the problems and I love my new Gel x set! as long as it lasts well, which I think it will, I will be a new regular with Vy! (and they offered a guarantee, if there are any problems) thank you! read more

My pedicure with an acrylic fill and French tip was pure perfection! The painting was flawless and the massage left my feet feeling brand new. (Feet finder ready! lol jk) The salon was spotless and the customer service was amazing friendly, professional, and attentive from start to finish. My boyfriend got a pedicure too and loved the deep clean and precise nail trimming. Overall it was a five-star experience: clean, relaxing, and beautifully done. I'll definitely be coming back! Actually we'll be coming back. Also keep in mind that parking is a little difficult given that it is located on a main street so give yourself extra time. read more

Came here for the first time today as a walk-in for a gel manicure/pedicure! I've never had such precision service as I have received here today. I was offered refreshments and a complete price list up front for services to choose from. Bee was very thoughtful and took her time with my pedicure as it had been a while... and my manicure was on point as well! Overall I would highly recommend this salon as it's clean, staff are very attentive, prices are comparable to other places but the service makes this place stand out! Thank you so much for my visit today! Please tip generously because they do not disappoint ! read more

I was in dire need of a last-minute nail appointment for New Year's Eve or New Year's Day. I messaged the shop on Yelp the evening of 12/30 and was promptly responded to by Kelly who was able to squeeze me in on New Year's Eve morning. While on the phone, Kelly was very informative about the parking situation and what types of payment they take (cash, card, Zelle, Venmo). She was a very appreciative of my business and look forward to seeing me the next day. Upon arrival I was nicely greeted and sat promptly asking what I would like to drink, which was so nice. The nail tech I happen to get was VY, which I had heard great things about so I was very excited. I showed some inspo photos to VY and she began her work. As she was doing her work she was walking me through her steps and reassuring what her process was and always making sure that I was satisfied with the shape and nail color. When it came to doing the flowers on my nails she suggested adding little vines so it wouldn't look so bare and I agreed so she added them on. She was not pushy at all, if anything she mentioned that if I ultimately did not like it, we can easily remove it and keep my nails as is. I really loved her suggestion and kept it. She was very easy-going. VY was also very efficient and fast with her work, but not rushing at all, again she took her time and always made sure that I was satisfied with my nails. My appointment was at 10:45am, I got seated promptly and I was out by 11:40am. As I was checking out, there was another customer in front of me who was about to leave, and Kelly asked her where she had parked. Kelly offered to walk her to her car with an umbrella since it was drizzling outside. Although the customer politely declined, Kelly was adamant that she walk her to her car so that she wouldn't get wet. That customer, myself, and even a customer who was getting their pedicure were in awe of the service Kelly was giving! Not only that, but I had mentioned about some unfortunate family situation of mine and Kelly was so sweet to give her condolences and give a hug as well, lol! Overall, my manicure experience was fantastic and the customer service was impeccable. I did not get a pedicure, but I would assume it's just as good. I definitely will be coming back to this spot. I do want to mention that this shop is on the main San Pablo Rd. so as others have mentioned, please give yourself enough time to find parking. read more

I can't say enough good things about Nails by Ken in El Cerrito! They took me in last minute--even well after hours--and still treated me with the utmost care and kindness. Not only did they do a fantastic job on my nails, but they also squeezed me in for eyebrows, which was such a thoughtful touch. The vibe inside is warm, welcoming, and relaxing. You can really feel how much they value their customers. Their consideration and attention to detail are unmatched--this is the kind of small business you just want to support again and again. If you're looking for a local gem where you'll be treated like family and leave feeling amazing, this is it. I'll definitely be back soon! read more

I had such a great experience at Nails by Ken. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was incredibly warm and welcoming. The owner, Madame Kelly, clearly has genuine relationships with her customers -- I watched her greet people like old friends, and the whole salon celebrated when one customer shared a positive health update. It really showed how much they care about their clients. Cindy did my nails and did an amazing job. I came in needing a fill on my builder gel nails and one broken nail fixed, and she completely elevated the entire set. The shape is perfect, my cuticles look so clean, and the overall manicure is super polished and healthy-looking. I love a simple, clean set and she absolutely nailed it. The customer service was also top tier. They offered me apple juice in a champagne glass when I arrived, which was such a thoughtful touch. Before I left, Madame Kelly also did my eyebrows and somehow brought them back to life -- they look so much better. Everything was done with care and attention to detail. This was my first visit, but it definitely won't be my last. read more

I had such an amazing experience here that I had to leave a review. Vy did my gel extensions in just 45 minutes, which honestly blew me away because she did not sacrifice quality at all. The shape, technique, and overall finish are beautiful and very well done. What impressed me even more is how well they lasted. My nails stayed on for over a month and a half with zero lifting, even through very active travel, swimming, surfing, doing dishes, opening cans, etc.. That level of durability is rare and really speaks to the quality of her work. On top of that, all of the employees were incredibly kind and welcoming. They offered me tea during my appointment, and when I was leaving, they even offered to walk me to my car with an umbrella since it was sprinkling. That level of thoughtfulness really stood out to me. The salon itself has a great ambiance, clean, relaxing, and comfortable, and the pricing is very reasonable for the quality you get. This was my first time here, but it is definitely my new go to spot and I will be coming back regularly!! read more

The vibe of the salon was very welcoming and hospitable. I had Vy as my technician and she was absolutely amazing! I went in with acrylic, she took one look at them and said I'm taking these off because your nails aren't healthy underneath, how do you feel about gel x? I told her I was happy to try but had not had much luck in the past, she assured me they would last 4 weeks. At other salons when I have had gel x, the curing process felt like a hot fire on my nails. Vy's way of doing gel x didn't cause any pain! I showed her a picture of the nails I wanted and she matched it to a T. She made sure I liked each step of the nail process and asked for feedback throughout the process (she was also very fun to talk to). I walked out with the best nails I've had in months. I will definitely be seeing Vy in 4 weeks! read more

My hand soap refill cost more than the original soap I had bought in the dispenser. Even still, I later wanted to go back to refill my laundry detergent to avoid buying another giant plastic tub, but, come to find out it costs over 3x more (!!) than just repurchasing the tub. I feel I could justify a small price increase to help the environment and support a small business, but I just can't justify paying 300%. Really sad because I really want to support zero waste, but, life is already so expensive. If they could find a way to lower prices, I'd become a regular.

As my handful of Yelp fans know, I reserve one star reviews for scams where I have given the…read morebusiness three tries to make things right and they failed - and where it is simply not feasible for me to sue them. In this case, I placed an order on Walgreens.com for 12 items and was willing to pay a shipping charge since there were 12 items and I could spread out the relatively high shipping charge across those items. When the items arrived, guess what? there were only five items - but they still charged me the full shipping charge and cancelled the rest of the order. Had I known that they would do this, I never would have placed the order. I would've placed it from a competing company. When I called Customer Service and asked for a proportional refund of the shipping charge, I was told that there was no way to refund it because I had not ordered enough items to trigger free shipping. They also told me that I had ordered an out of stock item - but there was no way for me to know that I had ordered an out of stock item because the website didn't tell me that the item was out of stock. This seems like a relatively straightforward scam: allow the customer to place an order that cannot possibly be fulfilled, then charge the customer a surcharge which cannot be refunded, then deliver the customer less than what they had ordered and give only a partial refund. When I asked who was responsible on the customer service call, they told me that the items did come from the store so that is why this is the place that is receiving the one star review. But I suspect that the Walgreens e-commerce team is the guilty party here. In any case it looks like my one star review won't do much additional damage to this location since it is already in the dumps on Yelp.

You will be greeted with wellness, Grace, Serenity, Peace, health and care. Everything from organic homemade chai with organic homemade cashew milk, and delicious juices from the apple ginger to carrot and a delicious green drink I had last week. Everything taste super delicious and she uses no sugars. Everything is organic. The best part was when she told me the story about her produce, she sources all her food locally with her daughter, every single fruit or vegetable that enters her shop, they hand pick it with love. I don't know any other juicer in Sonoma County who's doing this, but it is pure magic, and definitely next level healing. She generates love in her relationship with each farmer, and then she gets back to her shop and juices every juice herself, fresh. This place is spacious yet cozy, clean, its certified organic and the vibe is a place where I could bring my girlfriends, hang out and enjoy wellness Beauty and be pampered all while drinking a delicious drink and enjoying a great snack. I'm so grateful to find this gem and even more, someone who is knowledgeable, ethical & who can cut, style & dye my hair! Plus she can book you a facial and give you a delicious high vibe organic drink too,is there anywhere else to go? Stop what you're doing and make an appointment now, you will not regret it. Or stop in for the BEST spicy chai, you will ever taste, and a fresh organic juice for later. I can't wait to get my hair done by this amazing woman who runs this shop. We definitely need more women like her in the world.
