My daughter introduced me to NT nails, and they are the only shop I go to now. I love getting designs on my nails, and they never disappoint. not mater what picture I bring in, they execute it every time. read more

I have had mixed experiences and today's felt terrible. I had a great pedicure done by Mai who was patient and took her time! Depending on the artist, the customer service/general tone can vary. my manicure but it was very rushed, there were bubbles in the paint, lots of glue left under the nail, and the wrong color was used. I came back within ten minutes and a separate team member was very quick to offer to fix some issues right away, which I really appreciated! I received extreme attitude and frustration from the original manicurist, Nikki, when trying to communicate the color was incorrect. I did not pressure the artist to fix it right away at all. I offered multiple times that they don't need to fix the color if they are booked and that I was happy to wait until they were finished with the client they were currently working on. I kept it very polite, patient, and made it clear that it could have just been a miscommunication, but she was insistent in proving that I told her the wrong color. I understand people have bad days, so this is just to share my experience. In general; I've had great pedicures here but the tone and rush of the manicurist made me feel like a huge inconvenience of a customer and that there was no willingness to acknowledge that they could have made a mistake on the color selection. She kept blaming me for picking the wrong color, although I specifically said the number and pointed at the color before starting. I even offered to pay for a color change but she kept rolling her eyes and sighing and had a nasty tone while I was receiving the service which of course is a terrible feeling as someone paying money to get a self care service done. There was a lack of professionalism from the artist, but the rest of the team was really kind and took their time with my pedicure and services I've received in the past. They reached out to me after my initial review offering a color change and discount with a new technician which is very kind. read more

I'm happy to say that my experience after posting my original review was exceptional. The owner personally reached out to address my concerns and truly went above and beyond to make things right. I returned to the salon, and they were able to restore the almond shape of my nails and achieve the exact chrome look I had originally requested. The difference was night and day, and I left very happy with the final result. I really appreciate the level of customer service, professionalism, and commitment to ensuring customer satisfaction. Thank you for taking my feedback seriously and turning my experience around. read more

One thing I'm not going to do is let a business that know they were wrong gaslight me into thinking anything otherwise. I came in with already "square" nails, that's the only shape I ever get on my NATURAL NAILS. why do I have duck shaped nails now? ?? And you called the CUT a surface scratch? When he sliced my finger with an unsanitary nail file that he pulled from the drawer(I'll insert more pictures). My first reaction was I hope I don't get an infection And YOU DID NOT OFFER A DISCOUNT. I REQUESTED A DISCOUNT. No one apologized immediately, you tried to fix it Trieu but I wouldn't let you continue to dig into a cut more with a nail file Then you say you only worked on the surface of my nails and there's a claim about hard gel underneath well I'll add more photos of that as well. The reason why he sliced my finger is because he packed on too much gel on the corner of my nails and tried to go back and shape the excessive amount of gel he applied The "scratch" is A CUT. A OPEN WOUND you knew he made a mistake when you decided to argue with him in front of me instead of apologizing to your paying customer: WHAT DISAPPOINTS ME MOST is that after being a regular for 4 years that I wasn't treated with respect or didn't get a single apology. After 4 years of patronizing your business you would think that business has enough respect to atleast apologize and offer a discount. Again I had to request a discount. I had to leave and deal with discomfort all day and unfinished nails because of a mistake you guys made. And basically told me oh it'll heal and come back.. yea ok I left worst than I came. I'm starting to think you guys hire anyone and not real licensed professionals. He was negligent. You guys are wrong and how dare you come on here to tell me anything different. 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

my daughter and I have been going here for years when the work was good. We've gone in with an appointment for a pedi and gel fill, we were there for 2 hour. They were choosing quantity over quality. The quality of the work we received was not worth continuing to go there. read more

Service requested was a gel-X nail replacement and fill, the quality was amazing and service/vibe was perfunctory and adequate though not personable. 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 always have a good experience here, they are very good at understanding what I want and getting it right and always have great customer service! 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

NT Nails - brown cat eye nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Emeryville, California

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'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.

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

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

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. It's rare to find a salon that takes the time and makes the extra effort. When I have the time/money, I will definitely be back! read more

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

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

Came here for a Gelx manicure and a gel pedicure. Pedicure was great, loved the outcome of my toes. As for my Gelx manicure, Anne did a great job nailing the design I wanted but just a day after my gems started to just fall off. I don't do anything crazy besides type on a keyboard so to have majority of my gems pop off was surprising. read more
