Jennifer L.

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.

Fresh acrylics!

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!

Two pedicure chairs and three manicure stations

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.

Eww bottom of nails

HORRIBLE JOB!!! I asked full set for my graduation and she did so bad on the bottom and shape!! On top of that she was rude when I said I didn't like them

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!!!!

First time in love it Jenny an staff are awesome you guys got a new client I will be here all the time

I went there like 2 weeks go and got a pedicure. .. I like it and I was thinking going back... after getting a pedicure I went home and right toe started to hurt by the end of the day my toe got INFECTED I started to soak it with hot water . Days will pass and nothing so I end up going to the dr and they told me to continue soak with water and week after still the same and today I went to go get surgery on my rite toe... i have never experienced that and I have get my feet done...I WILL NEVER GO THERE AGAIN..... and place need to be updated they alot torn stuff...

Closer look of natural tips with light pink acrylic finished with light pink gelish polish

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.

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!

We've been searching for a good nail salon for a while, and I think we finally found it! We live in…read moreVallejo and came here on my sister's recommendation. From the moment we walked in, the staff was welcoming, greeted us right away, and offered drinks like coconut water, water, and soda, which was a nice touch. I brought my daughter with me, and she now only wants to come to this salon. She's had a different nail technician each time, and every single one has done an amazing job on her nails. The service has been consistently great, and everyone has been friendly and professional. We're very happy with our experiences here and will definitely keep coming back!"

It was my first time here and tried it out since I was in the area. I called for a mani pedi and…read morethey said yes they can do a walk in, as I was ten minutes away. Arrived and they asked me what I wanted to drink. I just said water bc I couldn't decide. Later on I realized they have wine! Next time I'll come back for that Chardonnay. They even have soda and coconut water. It's clean and modern inside. I was set on having nail polish color DND mocha cherry 751. They had it but they ran out of the regular polish and not had the gel. I usually get a gel manicure and a regular polish pedicure. Well, I decided to get the gel polish on my toes so the color match. Originally I had two nail techs working on me - one for my manicure and one for my pedicure. But it got busy so the guy who started my pedicure had to leave and get the other guest going. I didn't mind since I was in the salon for a total of 1 hour and ten minutes. The girl was meticulous and I loved the massage at the end. My nails are a bit short right now, but I'm happy with my service. Total was $75 for a gel manicure and gel pedi before tip. This is about right.

The salon was clean and the staff was friendly. I enjoyed the subtle background music. Helen was gentle as she trimmed my toenails, smoothed my cuticles and scrubbed away my calluses. She was careful and precise with her nail polish. I am very happy with the result. Pretty pink toenails!

I don't remember who did my…read morenails, but although I showed her a picture of bright red cat eye nails, she gave me dark red cat eye that looked almost black. Not to mention, she was quite passive aggressive when I was asking if the final product was going to be red. I got a lot of compliments for the nails so I accepted them and ended up loving them anyways. Also, they lasted way longer than when I'd get Gel-X from a different salon. After three weeks, I came to get a new full Gel-X set and got my nails done by Lisa, who gave me exactly what I wanted. She was also very sweet and I enjoyed getting my nails done by her. I would definitely come back since the quality is great for what I paid for, I'm unsure if I'd want the same person from the first time, but I'd definitely want Lisa!

I went to Kim's nail salon 3 weeks ago for a fill on my gel x nails from a different salon and a…read moregel pedicure. I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the work for both the pedicure and manicure. I felt like the application had been rushed at the other place I had initially gotten the gel x applied, so I decided to try out Kim's instead. And I'm very happy I did. Annie did my nails and took great care in looking at my detailed design idea, asking me what colors I wanted and checking in multiple times to ask if I liked it. My manicure and pedicure are still perfectly intact 3 weeks later. I will say, I would probably give 4.5 stars if I could, just because the pedicure took a long time as the girl doing it was on phone calls/FaceTimes the whole time and kept texting on her phone. That was strange to me, but the gel pedicure has lasted much longer than at the previous place I went to so I'm happy about that. I also did have to wait 20ish minutes after my scheduled reservation time which wasn't ideal. Overall a good experience and will definitely consider going back for my nails again!
