Ive been looking for a new nail salon to go to and ive recently got into cat eye. I was walking by…read morePhenomenails one morning and saw from their front door they had many more varities of cat eye colors that most places rarely have. Luckily i was able to do a walk in appointment as they werent too busy. But got busy right at the tail end of my session. I did a walk in on early friday afternoon and had a very specific design and color i wanted. This place had the color but i needed to confirm if they could do the deaign. The technician did a fantastic job catering to my needs and even explaining why they did what they did. On top of selecting this color, they mentioned they wanted to apply another colored coating so that the pink color cat eye i selected will be more aparrant when they finish. The golden heart was the dexor i wanted and they nailed it (pun intended)! It's been so long since ive been so happy with a session. I get compliments everywhere i go. I look forward to coming back for another session!!

I've gone here a few times and it's been fine but I just went and had the worst manicure of my…read morelife. The person who helped me got polish on my cuticles, the sides of my nails, and even on my fingertips. I figured she would clean it up at the end and she did a bit but it was so bad that when I pointed out all the issues, the owner had to come with an electric file and file down all of the excess polish -- and even then it STILL looked messy. You can see some of the polish left up to my cuticles in the photo. I wouldn't risk your $40 coming here -- cus after all that they still charged me the full price. Seems like a toss up if it'll be good or horrible.

Have you ever noticed just how many nail salons there are on Grand Avenue? There must be a dozen of…read morethem within a few blocks! I'm not sure how they all stay in business, but I'm glad they do. Now, I'm a guy, and I realize we're not exactly the primary demographic for nail salons. In fact, I rarely see another dude in one. Which makes the whole experience feel a little like I've stumbled into some secret sanctuary that women have been quietly enjoying for years without telling us about it. And frankly, I can see why they've been keeping it to themselves! Of all the nail salons in the neighborhood, I've developed a fondness for All About Nails. It's a four-seater, which makes it feel more like a little neighborhood hangout than a volume nail salon. Small, intimate, friendly, and completely unpretentious. The people are nice, warm and welcoming, and I like relax in their more personal atmosphere. The service is consistently good, the work is solid and professional, and the prices are reasonable and in line with what you'd expect in this neighborhood. Nothing fancy or over the top, just good, solid service from nice people. And I have to say, as a guy venturing into what sometimes feels like unfamiliar territory, I've always been made to feel completely comfortable and welcome. Which I appreciate! All in all, a terrific little neighborhood business. Good people, good service, fair prices, and a relaxed atmosphere. The secret is out, guys. We've been missing something.

The customer service is excellent, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the quality of the products really sets this salon apart. I love that they use high-quality organic products, and I've noticed that my nails are stronger since I started coming here. As both an art teacher and a practicing artist, having my nails done feels like an essential part of my personal expression. I love getting creative with multicolor manicures, and my nails are often part of how I show up in the world. I've included photos of my manicure while installing my work for a photography exhibition and another from date night. La Soleil is the perfect place to keep my nails healthy while still having fun with color. They do book up because they're so good, but booking online is easy, and I've even been able to find same-day appointments. If you're looking for a salon that combines excellent service, quality products, a genuinely friendly atmosphere, and beautiful nails, I can't recommend La Soleil Nail Spa enough.

My bestie recommended this nail salon. The ladies were friendly and I forgot the ladies names who…read moredid my French tip nails and it turned out great! The place has a lot of foot traffic on the street so the salon is busy; make sure to make an appt. Decently priced as well. The only issue is their parking.

Every single woman who works there genuinely cares about their clients and pours so much love, detail, and artistry into their craft. They don't just give you a manicure; they give you supreme service, honest care, and results that make you look down at your hands and smile every single time. This is hands down the BEST nail shop in Oakland. No contest!!! Worth every penny!! What keeps me coming back again and again is their commitment to nail health. The color always lasts an unbelievably long time, they take their time with prep, and they're meticulous with every step to make sure your nails stay strong and healthy. I've never left disappointed... ever. Thank you, Alice and ladies, for always making me feel taken care of, pampered, and right at home. Can't wait to come in again soon, right before Thanksgiving!!!

Nhi has incredible attention to detail and takes a lot of pride in her work. I've never had someone pay such close attention to the share of my nails and endure that the polish precisely covers the nail without even grazing the cuticle. Sometimes services there take a little longer than I would expect, but if you care about quality, it's worth it. The salon in general has a clean minimalist design and it's never really crowded. I do strongly recommend appointments though, they don't have a lot if people working at once.

I accepted the offer of a redo, and they were able to see me quickly. Now that I know what to expect with a Russian mani I was less surprised and able to appreciate the precision and skill needed for this type of service (though will caution anyone who's never gotten one before that it can be a bit uncomfortable; I recommend you look this up before trying it). My nail tech today also did a lovely job with the nail design. She was very skilled and meticulous with her work (grooming, polish and design) so I expect this set will last longer than my last. If you're getting a Russian mani, take note that you can expect it to take nearly 2 hours, so feed the parking meter accordingly. Overall, I am happy with my experience and will be back. :)

I got an iced coffee and call me simple but it was good and it made my experience that much better. The chair massage also worked, which again, sometimes I don't get that much at other spots. Chose a simple pedi ($40) and she did a really good job at the massage and cleaning of my cuticles. I was in/out in about an hour and I would def come back. Oh! I also liked that I was able to get an idea of pricing beforehand by looking online. I hate surprises so I appreciated it a lot.
