I booked my appointment online the same day and called to confirm. My appointment was at 4:45 pm, and when I arrived, they took me early at 4:40 pm, which was a great start. Ann did my nails and she was absolutely amazing super professional, detailed, and patient. The design came out exactly how I asked, even better than I imagined. The salon is spotless, they have a huge selection of colors, and the prices are very fair. Highly recommended! I will definitely be coming back again. read more

I am timid to ever leave a review, let alone a negative one! Horrible experience. HIGHLY unsanitary, and the gentleman that did my nails was busy watching a game or something on their phone, and was inattentive to my service. The towels they use were brown and had nail polish stains all over them. I came a few months prior to this experience and it was the SAME way, different tech same service. I do not recommend, they are quick services, unsanitary and unprofessional. read more

I just got my nails done last night and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM! I'm going on my first cruise this week and I wanted to get cruise-themed nails and looked up a few pictures and curated a custom design and CHERRY helped me bring it to life. I didn't even know she already had so many positive reviews and I'm not surprised!! She was randomly assigned to me and I'm sooo thankful! Thank you so much to Cherry and her team for my beautiful nails. The last time I got my nails done was over 3 years ago and now I think I'm going to go back in next month haha read more

Absolutely loved my mani/pedi here. It was very simple to make the appointment online and they follow up promptly to confirm with you and even got a text message with a photo of what the salon looks like! I wanted gel x with a cherry design and Linh, the nail tech, looked up inspo on Instagram with me and she thoughtfully used her creativity to create a masterpiece on my nails! They look so cute. Everyone was sweet and I'll be back! read more

The blackout curtains are also very nice in the daytime and the inside is very cute with a tv. I get gel pedicures the most and I always leave happy! read more

Did a last minute walk-in and the employees were very kind to slot me in. I got a brown cat-eye gel-x design that took about 1.5 hrs. I enjoyed the fact they had a large screen TV that I could look at while they were doing my nails. My technician did a good job, though the final finish was a bit thick due to us trying to get the right color. They offered me water throughout the session, and it still felt quite lively towards the end of their work day. My total was around $90 - they take card or cash. Happy to support my local BIPOC small businesses! read more

I've been coming to NT Nails for about a year now, and they always do such an amazing job! Every single tech there is awesome and very talented. The prep they do for Gel-X and hard gel ensures that every set lasts a very long time. I will continue coming back to NT as long as I am in the area read more

Been going here consistently for 2 years and it's definitely the best place in the Oakland/emeryville area for pedicures and gel X!

nooooo i will never be coming back. two stars is only because the woman doing my nails was sweet. ten dollars extra to remove gel for a pedicure-- i had a gem stone on my big toe, which warranted an extra $5 charge to remove it. if you're coming in, go ahead and remove rhinestones and charms yourself with a clipper beforehand! there was tons of visible dead skin left on my heels and feet that i could literally grab with my fingers. they really rushed through the service and im going to have to use a pumice stone and cuticle care at home after a $50 basic pedicure (no gel or design). they also did not have all of the colors in the book that they presented me. read more

I had a very subpar experience at NT Nails - the technician working on my nails was watching a video while working and was paying much more attention to the video than my nails and made multiple mistakes as a result. They were also jerking my arm around throughout the service and the design was not even close to what I requested. At the end of my appointment, they kept hustling me to pay by asking every 2 seconds while I was still gathering by bag and jacket. It's super disappointing considering that many of the other nails that I saw during my appointment looked visually nice from other people, but this particular technician lacked skill and acted quite unprofessional. read more

Great customer service a My wife and I have been coming to NT Nail for three years, and every visit has been wonderful. The whole staff is so friendly, welcoming, and sweet -- they really make you feel at home. The salon itself is always spotless and comfortable. A special shout-out to Vicky, who is amazing and very professional. She always goes above and beyond, and we're so grateful for her care. NT Nail has been our go-to for years, and we couldn't recommend it more! read more

I really wanted to like this place. I've been on a nail salon hunt to find a place I can be loyal to. I initially was not going to write a yelp review I figured it was just another miss and I would move onto finding the next. The 3 stars are strictly for the two ladies that were helpful to me during the time I was there. I went in asking for something similar to a photo posted here on their yelp. Unfortunately either only 1 person (not sure who) knows how to do everything in the photo examples they have posted on their yelp and website, or the work doesn't belong to any of the employees. I would hope they didn't just steal really good nail photos posing them as their own. Another reason I chose this salon was because they are Licensed Verified on here. I've came across a few that have non licensed nail techs doing services. I already had acrylic on so I left it up to the artist they put me with if he wanted to do a fill or remove and start fresh. I didn't mind either way. He began to remove my acrylic nails without even soaking them and allowing them to sit in foil to soften up. Didn't do that at all, just starting ripping my acrylic nails off of my weak natural nail. Extremely painful. The lady next to him told him I was hurting and to stop. He got through maybe 2-3 nails removing that way until I asked him to stop and to soak them because it hurt. Then he proceeds to clip down my natural nails and CLIPPED MY SKIN! He cut too far down with the nail clippers causing more pain with part of the nail hanging from my skin. He kept moving it up and down and I kept saying that hurts please stop. The minute the nail came off my skin it started bleeding. After that he got very frustrated, he wrapped the rest of my acrylic nails with acetone and foil, he got up and walk off to the back and never came back out. I sat there for a while until someone became available to help me. I showed her the same photo as before, one that they have uploaded and she didn't seem confident to be able to do it so I opted for just simple French tips. I had been there for a good two hours for an acrylic set of French tips. The ladies apologized for the way the male artist behaved. The vibe was pretty tense in there. Now that my nail is growing the cut under my nail is still hurting and keeps getting re-injured and it's unfortunate. I still paid full price. And I'll never go back. I just hope he thoroughly sanitized the tools that made me bleed. read more

NT has been my nail shop for almost 2 years now. If you want a trendy design or even a simpler set, you'll be more than satisfied with your set. I go to Ann for all my crazy designs. She does a great job and even recommends other things if I can't make up my mind. I've had my pedi done here a few times with different girls and my white toes always look fresh & crisp---the way I like them. You'll def pay Bay Area prices here but at least this shop isn't booked weeks out & will always accommodate. read more

I had a great first experience at NT! The vibes are chill and straight forward.Helen paid such great attention to detail with my nails and design request! The same care was given to my pedicure.

Nails came out perfect not mani and pedicure. I never get the staff name. I have to do better.

I get the gel pedicure here with Tina. She's very considerate, precise, and consistent with her work. It always turns out great. I've also gotten the builder gel overlay as well with several fills by Kevin and they always looked great. He's really good with sculpting and polishing the nails. I never experienced any lumps or uneven textures. read more

Worse experience ever. I booked an appointment at 10:45 for a mani/pedi. I haven't did a spa day in a while, so today was special because my birthday is (was) the next day and my graduation the next week. The timing of getting seen wasn't the problem. It's the nasty looks from the salon manager that was creeping me out. I was the only dude getting a service, and I wanted a spa pedi and a mani with buff and shine. While getting my pedicure, the nail tech was using one of the tools and stabs me in the corner of my big toe. When I looked at her and said ouch, she starts petting my toe like it's a dog, "it's ok." No lady, it's not ok. As the service continues, a young walks in wanting a gel x mani and gel French tip pedi. One of the nail tech just finished a client, and was heading over to do my mani. Then the manager/owner told her to stop doing my mani and to get started on the young lady. I told them I don't have time, and that I didn't want it anymore. She then proceeded to do it and said no I'll do it. That was the fastest, most sloppiest mani I've ever had! I kept getting a dirty look from the manager/owner, when I eventually said, "I don't want the buff just do the cuticle oil and that's it." The nail tech tried to tell me she'd do it, but I said no. They spoke to each other over me, and then she finished. $72 dollars later, a 5yr old could've done a better job and gave me clear polish. Note, I'm a licensed cosmetologist with over 10 years of experience working in SF, with beauty brands, etc. When I say worst experience, my ring finger still has a bit of previous gel on it that she didn't take off and the nail of big toe that she stabbed is slanted. Horrible, horrible, horrible! I would never go back there! read more

I was a walk in first-time customer yesterday and was not impressed. As a salon trying to gain business I would hope to feel welcomed and did not. Many staff were on their phones scrolling, and to second another review on Yelp, watching their phone while they were doing a customer's nails. "That's $15 extra." Was a common phrase for customers, including myself, when inquiring about services which are standard at other salons. If you want customers nails to look awesome and their friends to notice and ask, "where did you get your nails done?" Then make sure we represent your salon well by having beautiful manicures! You'll get more business. I left with a subpar manicure with rough cuticles because I didn't want to "pay extra". Include the extra touches that don't take much time and make the difference- cuticle trimming, hand massage to finish. Make me want to brag about your salon to others- especially as a first-timer. I see why I got right in at 4:30 and no line or wait. I won't be back. read more

I came in for an acrylic fill and had my nails done by Kevin. He did a great job--very detailed and took his time to make sure the shape and finish looked clean and natural. Throughout the appointment, he was super attentive, constantly checking in to make sure I liked how everything looked and asking if I wanted anything adjusted. I really appreciated that level of care. My only hesitation is the price--$95 for an acrylic fill felt a bit steep, especially since I was expecting something closer to $80 based on what I've paid elsewhere. That said, the quality of the work and Kevin's attention to detail were definitely there. read more
