This place ruined my nails do not go there. My nails are brittle now and will not grow. Jennie the nail person scratched my nails so bad they do not grow anymore. I do not recommend this place! read more

This place is AWFUL. The owner was so RUDE to my 80-year-old mother, who happens to have dementia. My mother liked going there only because it's a small shop, and my mother gets scared in large crowds. My mother had been there about 2 times, each time she did an ok job (nails were thick & bumpy), but my mom stayed calm at this place, so I took her back for a 3rd time. Well, when I walked into the door, she took one look at my mom and said IN FRONT of EVERYONE, "I am sorry, but when you made the appointment for your mom, I didn't know it was for her. Your mom is NOT RIGHT in the head, so I don't want to do her nails." I have never been so hurt, humiliated, and sad for my 80-year-old mother, who has no control over this disease. I was in SHOCK, and so were the other ladies in the shop. She was so rude and cold. I told her we will leave, but please know I will leave a review and pray for you in the meantime. My mom was so confused about what had just happened, I had to turn my head to NOT let her see me crying. This is just plan discrimination. SO sad that a place like this is still open. Please DON'T support such cruelty. read more

She is so sweet and I have type one diabetes and she's very attentive to dealing with my nail care and taking care of my feet with the upmost care! very clean establishment.love this place.thank you Jenny read more

Service was great, prices were reasonable only thing I didn't like was it's cash only. Will be coming back.

I will never go to another shop. I searched around for a cozy place to relax for a long time now and I feel at home here. Jenny is awesome and it is wonderful to catch up with her every two weeks and talk about life. The nails are done at a very cheap price and she always does an awesome job. I never have any complaints accept for the fact that some customers are very rude to her, the staff and other customers. I guess no business can really avoid having low class people come into there business with an entitlement issue. The posts above seem like just random bad times because I have never experienced anything negative really. I have been going to this establishment for 4-5 months now. I would rather go here then any surrounding places. Keep up the good work Precious Nails!!! P.S. I would rather go into an establishment where people couldn't speak English at all and have talent in nails, than go into a place where they speak perfect English and it is never done correctly. They understand what you are saying. To the person who insulted their English, that was a very mean thing to say and pretty racist sounding. Just sayin. read more

YELP 100 CHALLENGE 2014 23/100 This is the only nail shop I go to now. I have tried several places in the east bay and this one by far makes me the happiest. The prices are affordable and the nails don't lift too soon, but stay on for a full 2 weeks, sometimes longer. The shop isn't the prettiest but the staff is so nice and remember me every time I come in. As long as Precious Nails is around, I have no need to try other nail shops! read more

I'd call this place a nail shop, just because there's not much "salon" to it. There's about 3 manicurist stations and two pedicure chairs. Very tiny shop.. I got my pedicure here and a few days later, I noticed the color was fading and I could almost see through it. I guess we get what we paid for, 20$ for a pedicure is cheap. But unfortunately, I'd pay more if my pedicure would last longer. Usually at least 3-4 weeks, but I took off the polish within 10 days. read more

Precious Nails - Two pedicure chairs and three manicure stations - Nail Salons Near Me - El Sobrante, California

Best. Nail. Shop. Ever. I initially chose this place because of the good reviews, but I didn't think it was going to exceed my expectations! It blew me away and I will never go to any other shop-heres why: I have been weary of acrylic/gel full sets for a few years now due to the horrible job most shops have done to me, but I came in with a picture just to see if the nail techs understood and knew how to do it. Jenny told me right up front that she wasn't sure if she could mimick the picture exactly, and to give her a few minutes to think about it. She told me that she would tell me before hand if it was something she couldnt do. I was floored, in a good way! I instantly felt comfortable there because I figured that she would rather do a great job than make money. We talked for a few minutes, discussing techniques with the other nail techs, then finally decided it was achievable. I was SO happy before the service even began. Jenny really cares about her clients and the experience was SO different than other salons I've been to. The job ended up looking EXACTLY like the picture, and included using clear tips, acrylic, gel and 3 different polishes. Outstanding. She even added an extra shimmery top coat which ended up looking better than the picture. AND THE BEST PART?? All those steps and it still was SUPER inexpensive. I agree with the other reviews that from the outside, the shop doesn't appear to LOOK amazing, but the service IS and I'm so glad I took a chance. I live in Vacaville but will be making the trip out there everytime I need my nails done. Thanks Jenny!!!! read more

I came here twice so far and I believe I found my go to nail salon. I'm really excited that it's near where I live back home. I don't think I will want to go to any other nail salon. Their price is so reasonable. The owner is sooooo sweet. She makes you feel relaxed and she makes really great conversations. I can tell she really cares for her customers. She made sure I was happy with my nails every step of the way. I'm a bit clumsy and both incidents I smeared my nail polish on something before it dries off and the owner is always so friendly to fix my nails. She's very patient on all her clients. I highly recommend her. On Tuesdays it's usually her day off but she will accept appointments on that day. They are closed on Sundays. read more

I have frequented this shop for the past 4 years and many more other shops but I always find myself back to see Jenny. It is a very cozy little place that makes you feel like you are a friend to them. They do nice nail design and gelish polish (which I'm new too and love) Jenny always tries her best to give you what you want and with quality. She is currently working alone since her last manicurist just left, so be patient with her if she can't get you in right away but she is looking for a 2nd manicurist. I will be returning to see Jenny and this shop. read more

Precious Nails - Closer look of natural tips with light pink acrylic finished with light pink gelish polish - Nail Salons Near Me - El Sobrante, California

Great job on my gel nails and pedi. Squeezed me in at the last minute and likes to do nail designs. Clean, quiet shop. Reasonably priced. Will absolutely goback again! read more

This place is perfect. The staff is so friendly and not typical "hurry up and buy" type of ladies. Even though they were getting ready to close, they took their time, and made sure my nails were on point! I got gel nail polish, they were done right and clean. She cleaned my nails and cut my cuticles just how I like them. All for $20 I don't know if it was a slow day and she was just wanting to make money but I was all for it. Most places charge $30 and up for gel & and a manicure. The location wasn't so bad either. Definitely will be my always go to shop. read more

The owner is very nice and friendly. She did my set fine but didn't give me what I fully wanted. The other woman who did my polish did a crappy job!! She made my nails look like a 5 year old painted them. Polish everywhere!! All over me and her did not do anything when I pointed it out read more

I love Jenny and Lien. I have been going to them for almost a year and a half now. Their prices are very reasonable and Lien usually does my pedicures and she's very attentive and takes her time doing the pedicure. I don't ever feel like they are in a rush to hurry up and get me out. read more

Worst experience ever!!! My cuticles are sore and bleeding and it's the worst nail/gel polish painting job I have ever seen. I will never go back here, but I'm unfortunately stuck with this bad gel polishing job for a few weeks. They also don't have the best color selection. read more

Came in as a walk in, Jenny was so sweet and not to mention very talented! I'll definitely be coming back. We tried out the chrome nail polish, they like to keep up with the new trends. Great service for a very reasonable price, I had a great first time experience! Thank you Jenny and Julie, see you again soon! read more

Precious Nails - Nails by Jenny - Nail Salons Near Me - El Sobrante, California

I've gone to this nail shop three times and each time, I come out disappointed. Jenny is very sweet and does my nails. The three times Jenny did my nails, it was like sticking a knife into my skin. Her filing is rough. She files my skin instead of the nails. I come out with cuts and bleeding. All around my nails was horrible polished and uneven colored and not to mention pedicure worse. 30mins for pedí unbelievable. read more

I have been coming to Jenny for about 12 years. I adore her! She knows exactly what I like when it comes to waxing my eyebrows, the length and shape of my nails, and helps me decide on what color and designs. Yesterday I came in when Jenny was busy, Julie ended up giving me a full set and she did just as good a job as Jenny does. Jenny did do my eye brow wax and Julie did my full set. I changed my appointment from 5:30 to 1:30 and Jenny already had an existing appointment at 1:30 and she promised me I would love Julie....she was 100% correct. Thank you Jenny and Julie! You both are the best! Like I said, I've been going to precious nails about 12 years, maybe even longer, and I have NEVER, not one single time, have I been disappointed. I love you ladies!!! read more

Just checked out this nail place as it's right near my house. It is very clean and the owner really cares about your nails. For the low pricing, it's fabulous! read more

This place does great work for a great price! My recommendation would be to always ask for Jenny. She pays attention to detail and takes her time. My last couple of visits haven't been the greatest; the second to last time I went, one of her technicians rushed to get through my pedicure and left the polish looking chunky. The last time I went in for a pedicure a different technician cut me. Jenny is definitely the go to technician! Overall, if you're looking for an affordable place this is it just make sure to ask for Jenny read more

The ladies are nice, although only one speaks english so it's frustrating when you're trying to tell them what you want and they don't get it. I won't go here anymore because I got french tip one time (not acrylic, just the polish) and it chipped the same day. Pinole nails is better and about the same price. read more

First time coming here and did not feel welcomed at all. I politely asked if they did walk ins and they said yes so waited. After about 5 minutes she notices I have my card in my hand, then decides to tells me they only accept cash. I told her I only had card, so I said ok, already about to leave until right after she said looks and me up and down, and says actually we do accept card, but we charge a fee. I told her it was fine, but the entire time she seemed to be keeping an eye on me as if I was doing something wrong. Completely ignored by the other nail tech. Seemed like they did not want to attend me at all. read more

Jenny did my nails and she is excellent. She handled my nails with care and polished them until they were perfect! Something that I thought was simple actually took a lot of work behind, Jenny was patient, kind and professional, I love my nails. She also did my eye brows and they are now pretty and neat. It was a great experience. One funny thing is that Jenny didn't even know people gave her high ratings on Yelp until I told her. I feel like she simply just wanted to do a good job for her clients, not going after 'likes' and stars. Thank you, Jenny. read more

Seriously the cleanest nail salon you will ever go to. Such a hidden gem. Jenny and Le are very sweet people and really put your needs first. The price is unbeatable and you see them clean and rinse the nail stations every single time thoroughly. Sprayed down. They also use new filers and clippers for each person. Amazing right??? read more

Not a fancy shop but very good service. Just had a few polish changes but they were perfectionists without a smudge or smear and each time I made it two weeks without a chip. read more

I got a full set done in LA over thanksgiving week and they were breaking off, so I came here to get them removed, little did I know the nail shop that I went to previous had given me an infection in my left hand ring finger and my nail was falling off. The lady I saw was so kind to me and helped remove all my nails except the infected one for a very small price. She was very helpful and told me what to do with my infected nail. I would go back in a heartbeat, and had the best nail shop experience ever there. read more

I have news and reviews- for the price, you WILL NOT find better. The location is not fancy, but the service is fabulous! I got my first shellac manicure and will continue to go here for upkeep because they are so good and inexpensive! I am actually a little sad that shellac lasts so long because it means a longer in between without pampering! read more

Not happy with my nails! I asked jenny if they were able to do my nails like I had already with shellac and she assured me they could. Apparently they didn't know what they were doing! It's only been 2 days and shellac is starting to peel off! I've been doing shellac for 3-4 years and it usually last 1 month, very sloppy work. read more

Salon is in Yelp as open on Sunday, but it is not. This is disappointing as I drove out here to get a nail fill and pedicure, but it's closed. read more

Jenny is the best! Everyone at this nail salon is sooo sweet! Hard workers and my nails & toes always look great leaving...this place is a small hole in the wall. Nothing fancy but that doesnt matter. I no longer live in the area but if im in the area...Precious Nails is the place! read more

Working previously with my sister as a Nail Professional in San Francisco, after moving to the East-bay some 24 years ago it was kind of hard to find a Nail Professional who had the same values and sanitary rules as me. Jenny runs her ship tight and leaves no room for error. Jenny could has two more stations, but normally only has one person there to help, because she oversees anyone working in the salon. She does excellent work and comes highly recommended! read more

Found this place on Yelp and I must say I am very pleased. Great service to match the great prices. Laid back comfy vibe. I got to watch the Niner game while being pampered... deal sealed. read more

I went into this nail place today for the first time and Maileen helped me out. She was very nice and professional. I liked her service and would come back. The only reason why I didn't give them 5 stars is the price. I paid $22 for regular gel manicure, $1 for using a card payment method, plus tip for a total of $27.00. I've gotten a full set of gel nails for $25.00 read more
