This salon used to be decent, but unfortunately the quality has declined significantly. The products they used produced strong fumes, and during my nail service my nail beds became extremely hot and painful. Some areas were so irritated they even bled. I've had my nails done many times elsewhere and have never experienced that level of discomfort. The salon appears to be run by just two people, and the techniques feel outdated. The pedicure "massage" was barely a massage at all, it felt more like cream being spread on my legs for a few seconds even for a delux pedi. The manicure was also very mediocre. My nails weren't cleaned properly underneath, and they even nicked and chipped some of my nails during the service. Overall, the experience was uncomfortable and disappointing from start to finish. The salon itself is clean, but it's usually empty, and after this experience I understand why. I won't be returning and unfortunately can't recommend it based on the quality of service I received. read more

I've been a client at Number One Nails for over 20 years. They are the best. Hubs comes with me for pedicures and loves it too. Tina, Cindy and Kim are the best! They can get busy so try and make an appointment if you can. read more

Tina is an artist with nails. I'm always happy with her work, and I'm constantly receiving compliments on my nails. Same day or next day appointments are often available, just call first as it's a small staff. Very reasonable pricing too! read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE! I came to get my eyebrows done and the lady was mad I didn't want to get another service because I said I only have a little time right now I have a lunch meeting soon. She says well I won't have time for you either and says that she had a customer coming in a few minutes so come back another time. First of all it's been already 8mins no one is here. It's no one in the shop but one customer she's working on that literally has one nail left to paint another worker is just sitting there doing nothing. She says waxing my brows will take too long lmao are you kidding me!!!!! I purposely wait for the customer she claims is coming still no one. They are racist definitely she refused my service for absolutely no reason. read more

I have been to Number One Nails couple of times and came unhappy every-time. The lady Tina who handles the request is super rude every time. She is always angry and if you ask a question she will get really irritated. Earlier, I thought she is just racist but now after reading the reviews today I understand that she is generally rude. They say walk in accepted but every-time I walked in they will say they don't have time and the other ladies are just sitting around. Few months back I went for pedicure. The whole process too 20 mins and pedicure was done. It was the worse pedicure ever. I will not recommend this place at all. read more

Great staff and always do a good job at my nails. Have been going here for years. Anyone you go to here for nails you won't go wrong with.

Very affordable and pretty decent nail salon. I came here to get a new gel manicure after having to remove my old one. They sat me immediately. My nails were done in 20 minutes. The only qualm I have it that they seem to do a lot of scraping when it comes to removing gel polish. No one likes the surface of their nail bed sanded down with a filer, so maybe just soak the nails a little longer. Otherwise, they were fast and friendly. I'll come here again. read more

I have been a customer here for over 20 years. Tina and Kim are the best! Highly recommend them!

I have been going to Tina for 17 years and I tell my friends to go to Tina or Kim. Very nice and both do a magnificent job!

Such a great find! I needed my nails done for my 3 year anniversary and my usual spot was closed, so I decided to give this place a try. Cindy was so sweet and welcoming! She did my pedicure and another woman (idk her name!) did my gel manicure. Both ladies were so kind and very professional. The massaging pedicure seats were so nice. The pricing was amazing, too! I paid $51 for a gel mani and regular pedicure and it only took 30mins! So quick and since a good job!! You just can't beat that! I will definitely be coming back!! Thank you!! Update: Just went back for another gel manicure. This time I got the French. Cindy did it for me and it looks gorgeous!! read more

Horrible service . Messy salon . Most of the nail colors chosen by me were out of stock . The most importantly service was worst. Pedicure was done in 20 mts , feet were not scrubbed properly n there was a minimal massage .Owner n staff were not friendly at all . $ 50 for the gel pedicure was expensive. Not at all recommended. read more

Wow, Kim and Tina did my mani/pedi so quickly and efficiently. Also they are super nice. My regular manicure lasted an entire week without any chips - and I wash a lot of dishes and am usually prone to getting chips in a few days. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area! read more

I have been going to the owner, Tina for almost 20 years! She doesn't really advertise but she definitely does my nails better than any other place and will even try to fit me in. I continue to get tons of compliments! read more

She did an amazing job like always, gave me exactly what I asked for for a good price read more

the nail polish was just very messy and not clean. my nail is cut weirdly diagonal and looks nothing like the rest of my toes. when you look really close, you can see dust dried on my nail polish so it's super bumpy. overall the service was great, nice people. read more

Very nice people. didn't rush to get to the next customer which I really appreciated. Let me make a last minute appointment. Definitely coming back and my feet and hands came out great. Very happy customer. read more

Okay so i used to be a HUGE fan of this place. The ladies were always super nice and my nails were always perfect until recently.. Me and my coworker went in for our usual fill during our lunch break (they know we always go during lunch and that we only have an hour) so of course we pick our colors and then i sit down.. About 15 mins into it this girl walks in and says she wants her nails done as well as a pedicure so after another 5 mins i ask when someone will help my coworker and the lady doing my nails then tells me that she will do them after she's done with me.. although there was another lady who could have taken her but instead she chose to help the girl that walked in after us. It's just rude that they couldnt have said they could only take one of us and not to mention she was rushing to finish my nails so fast that they looked NOTHING like the picture i posted awhile back. some where more square then the other just HORRIBLE. Customer service is my number one thing and they failed majorily. So i found a new place about 5 miles away called stoneridge nails and so far i love them! read more

Got my nails done by Tina! She did an amazing job and matched the picture and gave me exactly what I wanted. Waited about 10 minutes as I was a walk in which I didn't mind too much. read more

The salon is conveniently located, And has the most amazing nail technicians ;very friendly and they do their best to accommodate walk-ins. I've been coming here for 14 years!

Came after reading the review about Cindy in the yelp post. I figure if Cindy is good then the other girls must be ok. Oh how wrong was I. The person who helped me was Hannah. When I was getting up on the chair, she told me to put my feet on the basin. I just assume that she has tested the water and oh boy the moment my feet was in the water, I yelped out in pain. Looking down, I could see steams coming out from the water! Hannah apologized that they had been having plumbing issue and after the repairman fixed it, the water is now even hotter ! Well don't you think that should make her check the water before asking me to put my feet in? oh well lesson learn from now on I would be looking down in any salons prior to putting my feet in the water. While cleaning my nails, Hannah constantly hit my flesh with the device or dig too deep and I had to remind her to be more gentle. After she put on the nail polish and me went to the dryer, I notice that on one of my nails, one side only had one coat and the other has more layers. I asked if she could even it out and she said ok and just go ahead and painted ON THE WRONG SIDE ! even after I have pointed it out to her, she kept on saying where where ? I ended up having to put my finger next to it. When I was ready to leave and pay, she did not even bother to come out and told her coworker that she is having lunch and did not want to be disturbed ??? One last thing when I went home and had a better look at my nails, the whole underside my nails were filled with nail polish ! Instead of just brushing the tip of the nails with the nail color, she had dipped the whole underside with nail color ! Maybe the next time I go I should have made appointment with Cindy instead. read more

This place is amazing! They have good customer service and a lot of colors. The lady at the second to last desk did our nails. They came out awesome! She was super nice! The gel manicure is very nice and this is an overall nice place. read more

Very nice nail salon! The ladies were super sweet and efficient. Amazing selection for nail color & this is a great local business to help. Edit: the gel nails barely lasted a week :/ read more

Reviewing for Kim. Eyebrow wax. She did an epic job on my eyebrows and my coworkers. We both will be coming back. This is the salon across from Happy Lemon. read more

Solid, decent mani/pedi. I had an hour to kill between appointments and tried this place out. Staff was super friendly and accommodating. FASTEST mani/pedi ever! They had me in and out in less than an hour, which I didn't think was possible, and that was for a gel mani, regular pedi with nail art, AND they even threw in a little lotion massage. The place looked clean, and the massage chair for the pedicures was VERY good! They were very gentle with my cuticles, without me even asking, and there were absolutely no errors in the polish. The salon could use a little bit more decor to make it more spa-like, but it was very professional. Rates were competitive - mani and pedi were about $50 total. As an added bonus, you are between two different music stores, so if you are lucky you get basically a live musical performance! read more

I've been coming to this place for years, they always do a great job! Weekdays are usually pretty open, but I would recommend making an appointment if you're planning on coming in after work. read more

Worst freaking place ever!!!! Did a terrible job the first time on my French Tip, on my toes, one big toe-tip was bigger then the other one. Then came back because I had to get one of my big toes fixed, it fucking smudged and the lady had the worst attitude with me, didn't want to re-do it, saying it would take "more time then", for one toe, like it only T A K E S 5 freaking mins. Wasn't really focused on mine, but was fully focused on the next ladies beside me. Bad service, all around, worst French Tip I've ever gotten on my feet like ever! just threw on the polish. Will never come here again and spend my money... A waste. DO not come here!!!!! These women have severe attitudes it's ridiculous. Like we spent our money here, hello. Never again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ** Zero STARS ** Zerooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

LOVE this place!!!! I am shocked that I'm the first review!! I've been going here for almost 8 years. My primary nail artist is Cindy. She's absolutely the sweetest person, and will not let you leave until you are completely happy with your fill, nail shape, filing, paint, etc. She has NEVER, EVER messed up my nails since day one. Tina is the owner and is just as amazing. I have been to Tina once when Cindy was on vacation. The atmosphere is very soothing, and modern. You have a super giant variety of gossip and health magazines to read, which I LOVE! They do pink and white fills like no other shop. I can put that on everything!! The BOMB! read more

Joyce convinced me to try getting a pedicure where she had been getting a manicure and pedicure at #1 Nails, Pleasanton, for many years. Finally, I made an appointment with Kim and have been going there for almost 14 years. The salon is very clean, well lit and friendly. I have never heard a customer complain while I have been in the salon. Most of the customers are greeted by their names when them come in the door. This indicates that they are long time customers. I strongly recommend #1 Nails as a salon for manicures and pedicures that are done professionally and and reasonably priced. David L. read more

Kelly was great! Place is not too luxerious but she did a great job. Exactly what I wanted! Thank you :-)

Every time I have come here they have shooed me away even though the store looks empty maybe one person. Stoneridge nails on Pimlico is just around the corner and does a good job. read more

WARNING!!! I came to get solid white gel acrylics they charged me $43 when its $38, so first they tried to rip me off, second, the lady didn't cut my nails evenly or painted them evenly at all. It was a mess. Unfortunately i didn't get her name but she has short black hair with glasses in her mid 50s and her station is the third one from the door. Do not recommend this place or her at all. read more

This was my first time visiting this nail salon, it is highly unlikely that I will return. I got a gel manicure and regular pedicure. For the $51 I paid, I don't feel that the service was worth it. I wanted a gel manicure with a 4th of July theme. I asked for stars on one of my nails and even provided pictures. The manicurist tried to draw stars three different times and they looked like white blobs. I told her to just forget about the stars. The pedicure wasn't satisfying either. I could have done what they did at home. It wasn't relaxing at all. The staff has a lack of customer service. They didn't even try and have a conversation. The whole experience was very dry. read more

I didn't ask the name of the woman who did my gel mani and pedicure; shame on me. Nonetheless, she did an excellent job on my nails. The gel wasn't too thin nor too thick. The pedicure was just okay, however. I will go again. read more

Very nice relaxing & long leg/foot massage. Pedicure looks very nice. Relaxing environment. Price is comparable to other salons in town. Originally gave a higher rating bur after 2 days the Polish is wearing off already. I suspect it's because she only put 1 coat of polish on. read more
