I had such a wonderful experience here and can't recommend this salon enough! From the moment I walked in, the team made me feel genuinely welcome -- warm, friendly, and attentive from start to finish. What really sets this salon apart is how seriously they take client safety. As someone with an allergy to acrylates and methacrylates, finding a safe salon has always been a challenge. This team handled it with such care -- they're a fully zero-acrylic salon and use HEMA-free products, which made the whole experience completely stress-free for me. It's rare to find a place that takes allergies this seriously, and I'm so grateful. They do have a wide range of colors and brands from the exterior. On top of that, they offered complimentary drinks on arrival, the space is spotlessly clean, and the vibe is modern and absolutely adorable. Every detail felt thoughtful. If you're looking for a salon that combines skill, safety, and style -- this is it. I'll definitely be back! read more

Environmental /vibes 5 star Cleanness 5 star NAILS 3.5 stars First time visiting-Came in for a builder gel fill. Very clean looking salon, front desk worker showed me the starting price of builder gel which I appreciate ($60) I askedd SS16, almond and chrome(+$15). $75 service and I am not in love with the outcome. The shape is more oval than almond. In the shop the shape looked better until I left I noticed the bubbly wide appearance. I opted for chrome because the paint was uneven. So the chrome covered that up the imperfection. Maybe I will come back but definitely will be a picky customer which I don't like to be but for this first impression you may have to be. Update: since posting I have received the comment below as well as a voicemail from the shop asking for me to return to correct my nails Unfortunately I am out of town so I cannot have my nails corrected but I really do appreciate the customer service care and support. I will be returning for a second chance another time. read more

4.5 overall really nice ambiance everyone is friendly. We were walk ins and got seen immediately. Everyone and everything is really organized so that was a plus! My pedicure - 5 stars for Mason he was a dream! Lovely and really paid attention to detail. He got my mini toe nails in shape and painted them so well. The pedicure itself was also so boujee they have a little board with the "ingredients" on it I've never seen it like that before so lovely! My manicure- 3 stars if that. Unfortunately this is where it went downhill for me Layla was quiet which is fine but would just kind of yank my hands and I was pretty uncomfortable which is not a big deal! My biggest qualm was she sliced my cuticles on 3 different fingers and it happens! -but I've never had it hurt that bad and she didn't apologize or see if I'm ok and just kept it pushing until I showed my bleeding cuticles to my sister she kinda wiped at them and painted over them. Didn't even clean it before painting on top which was unfortunate. The color was super pretty but it looks a little uneven in places and when she was cleaning up the sides she wiped the excess nail polish on the back of my hand which was..strange? To make it even better, she dropped the brush for the top coat it rolled across the floor and she just stuck it back in the top coat and kept painting my nails...oof. Overall for Mason I will 1000% be back. Not sure if I'll do another manicure? But the pedicure was a super awesome experience! read more

Kieu!!! Ming!!! Emily!!! Thank you for accommodating my last minute/same day appointment request. Stumbled upon your brand new salon when I searched for: Korean Nails on yelp. Forced my husband to drive me 50 minutes to Hayward and I have no regrets. I LOVE love LOVE my nails. So excited to finally have found, a nail salon that knows about the Korean jelly nail trend. They have a wide selection of products that I've only seen on TikTok and instagram. I appreciate the attention to detail of my nail tech, Kieu. I DMd the salon my inspo reels and they went above and beyond to make me happy. Everyone was so kind. Offering me water, striking up conversations and making me welcome even though I was in their salon past closing. I cannot wait to come back and get a pedicure here. The restroom here is clean, the decor is trendy and bright, everything is clean. There is free parking in the lot, which also consists of a boba tea shop next door. Come get Pretty!!!! read more

Prettify Me - One of my hands! - Nail Salons Near Me - Hayward, California

Came here on a Friday and had a great experience. Making an appointment was easy, and they weren't too busy when I arrived, which made the visit feel relaxed and unhurried. I got a pedicure and Gel-X done, and both techs who worked on me did a great job. The place was clean and well-kept, and their gel color selection is pretty good. It was my first time trying cat-eye nails, and I really appreciated that the techs listened to my input and what I wanted instead of just doing their own thing. Overall, a smooth and pleasant experience. I'd come back again read more

Decided to come here on a whim so I made an appointment for the day before. I'm a tired Mama and so I wanted to do a little bit of self-care for once. I frequently shop at Sprouts and so when I saw the Prettify Me sign go up above the stores doors I was excited to try this place once it finally opened. Technically now it's still their soft opening. I believe they're official grand opening is October 24th of this month. Anyways, I was able to easily book my appointment on-line. And it was all confirmed via text. Very easy and convenient. I got a simple cuticle cleanup and had a cat's eye gel polish finish. The owner was very nice and explaining the differences and types of gel finishes for me and help me choose the right one that I wanted. The education was really helpful because I'm not much of a frequentsalon nail person.. This being my first time in months / years, unless it's for a special occasion. The owner(s) are very proud of this salon and I can tell that they take much pride in how they run their business. They use single-use files and buffers which is very hygienic. I also asked how they sanitize their metal utensils and she said they have a machine. They also claim not to use any acrylic in house which is healthier and no toxic smells on the air. I also saw on the menu some organic options for those who are conscious of exposure to toxic chemicals. They also offered me water or something to drink as I got my nails done. I also appreciate that the owner told me what services I actually needed which would save me money. She respects her customers, much respect. I definitely will be coming back and maybe this will be my new regular nail salon. read more

Absolutely love this place! What a gem to have an organic nail spa in Hayward! The location is everything too, perfect day out location conveniently located in a new shopping center with other big name retailers. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. The place is extremely clean and provides a calm and pleasant atmosphere. The pedicure chairs come equipped with wireless charging! Huge win. All paints and product options seem to be imported and curated with care from the staff for the best quality possible. Highly recommended this location to anyone looking for a quality nail spa experience. read more

I've been here a few times, and really enjoyed the vibes and the cleanliness of this place. The technicians always make sure you see all your tools have been sterilized. They make sure to check in on your water temps, their gel selections are beautiful (I've had nudes and vibrant neons) and the nail techs are very friendly. They have a point system so make sure you sign up! And they even have complimentary drinks for you! I brought my co workers here tonight for a girls date and they took us all in as walk ins and stayed late to get all our mani pedis in (we are all so thankful for taking care of us.) I appreciated their attention to details and hospitality. I think I found my new place read more

Great service, nice people, they know what you want and suggest better options. They will tell you and not push it.

My go to nail salon in Hayward! Newly opened and beautifuly decorated inside. Parking is easy since the parking lot is huge. I always get gel x and a basic pedicure with gel and both last me up to 3 weeks. Its on the more the expensive side but this salon is very clean as they use one time use tools. Highly recommend seeing Tram and Rachel! read more

Finding a nail salon that feels relaxing and luxe without being stiff is rare, but Prettify Me had it down. I booked the Kyoto Matcha Zen Pedicure with gel cat eye by Mason, and the experience was calm and never felt rushed. Mason was very kind, and the complimentary drink was a thoughtful touch (I chose rosé). Winter did my dip powder with dark gray cat eye, and Mason made sure to pass along that I wanted my hands to match. Winter checked in throughout the process to make sure I liked everything, and the service was smooth with no complaints. The vibe is solid, the service is great, and you truly get what you pay for. Overall, a really good experience. I'm excited to see this business thrive and will definitely be coming back. Thank you! read more

May was my nail tech and she was absolutely amazing! I'd recently broken a nail (closed my finger in my car door!) she was kind enough and quite gentle to "repair" the damaged nail and then of all the photos I shared of styles I was interested in she did an excellent job! I'm so happy with her work and how she translated what I wanted into what I received! I'll definitely return! read more

Prettify Me - My nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Hayward, California

I love a high end salon. Went on a Friday. It was pretty busy. I was in the area and thought I would stop in. I wanted to wear my real nail but was talked into a UV Builder Gel nail. By Sunday my nail had chipped. When I called the next day they told me to come in but I don't live close to the salon. By the end of the week, the builder came off of another nail. For the amount we paid this is unacceptable. Not worth it read more

Customer service, quality of service was absolutely outstanding. This was my first time coming to Prettify Me Nail Salon due to me having to leave my previous nail salon because of the rude comments she was saying about me, in her language. I was very sad. Side note: I always have my translator on. Anyways...I requested a basic mani pedi, just to get a feel for their presence and work. I was greeted with a smile and a drink menu, I opt for water, and shortly after I was ready for my service. The ladies explained everything to me about my service and other services they had, very informative. Super clean, well maintained and great tunes. I'll give them 8.5/10 read more

Review: 3.9/5 I've been here a few times now, and overall I really do enjoy this place and I like most of the girls here. Pros: It's genuinely so pretty inside. The owner is super nice and always willing to squeeze you in, which I really appreciate. They usually offer drinks, and the service feels very welcoming. Pricing is fair, and you can tell they take care of their customers. My first few visits were amazing, which is why I keep coming back. I really really liked most of the girls that I've worked with and my nails lasted forever. I would come back here again, minus Treu/ Tuei. Cons: My last visit was absolutely a mess. I think her name was Treu or Tuei, but she purposely thinned my nails out while trying to sell me on tip/ or something. She asked me if I wanted to adding on something to thicken my nails and I declined. I was kind of zoned out, and I didn't realize that she was drilling my nails down and buffing them with a drill. She also cut me a few times where I also bled. It wasn't until my gel nails were done that I realized how weak they got/ they were hurting, due to her over filing. They didn't even last a day before they bent and started chipping. I got them removed the next few days, which the did not use a drill to remove the polish. Now I'm working to heal my nails and they're finally growing out/ breaking. I've always had strong nails, and I hate that she did this to me. I'm currently healing my nails right now and taking a well needed break. Unfortunately my nails are so weak and unstable. read more

Found my go to nail salon in the area! So many of us have experienced subpar experience and quality nails in Hayward salons, so we would have to drive a bit further to get our nails done. I'm glad this spot opened up in Hayward off mission, making it very convenient and in a great plaza with tons of things to do and eat as you wait. I got both pedicure and manicure here a couple times now. My most recent i wanted them to remove my previous builder gel, add a tip for one of my short nails, and an ombre look using builder gel. Total cost came out to about $80. The pricing here is slightly higher than other spots, but you get above average experience, quality nail techs, and more. I also love how they serve complimentary beverages such as sparkling water and champagne. The 3 nail techs I got took good care of me, and made sure I was fine while they were trimming my cuticles. The space here is new and modern, beautiful! For pedicures,they use disposable jets after each use making it more hygenic than other spots. The owners are super friendly and really put a lot of care and thought to make their nail salon stand out. Worth trying! read more

stopped by again for a holiday set (hard gel fill) and i lovedddd how it turned out! not only was the designed improvised based on the aesthetic i want but it lasted so long in between. grateful to have discovered this nail salon that's close to home with such good quality. 10/10 would recommend as they have great service, options, and amazing results! read more

I made an appointment through their website for Sunday at 11 AM. I arrived a little early and grabbed Starbucks nearby. When I came back just 5 minutes later, the place was already packed! Walk-ins are available, but it's definitely best to book ahead. Mia did an amazing job on my nails. I got Gel-X with extensions since I'm trying to grow out my natural nails, and she explained that this method is a healthier option. I used to get acrylics with extensions, but they often left my nails thin and sore from the heavy buffing and LED curing. I also prefer Gel-X because there's no strong fume like acrylic. Overall, I had a great experience and will definitely be coming back! read more

A huge shoutout to Kieu; she was incredible and so detailed with her work. It's great to have such a high-quality new shop in the area. They've definitely gained a new loyal client and I will absolutely be back! read more

I have been coming to see Minh for a few years now, I even followed her from her previous studio to Prettify Me here in Hayward. That alone says everything about how talented she is. Prettify Me has an incredible selection of colors. It's honestly the biggest collection of jelly and cat eye polishes I've ever seen. The salon is spotless, all the equipment is brand new, and everything is single-use, which I really appreciate. But the biggest asset to Prettify Me is Minh. She is hands down the most talented nail tech I've ever had. Nail shape? Immaculate. 3D designs? Effortless. Quality of art? Absolutely out of this world. Her 3D artwork is truly the best I've seen. She has never once let me down, and I always walk out beyond happy with my nails. Thank you, Minh, for always bringing my crazy designs and last-minute details to life! read more

I am so excited that Prettify me has opened! I had my nails done with Emily which is always an amazing experience. I'm always extremely happy with the the outcome and overall process (so much so that I drive all the way from SF ). Everyone at Prettify me seemed very thorough and paid close attention to details (e.g., cuticles, checking in to see if I was happy with the color, the thickness of the lines, etc.) The salon aesthetic is gorgeous, clean, and relaxing. Everyone was super friendly . The pedicure chairs are sooooo comfortable and the table attached to them have the capability to wirelessly charge a phone (and are also wide enough to hold a laptop in case you have to get some work done while getting a pedicure). Added bonus: They also offer bubbly water, wine, rosé, and juices - so it makes for a great catch up time with girlfriends too! Will definitely be making the monthly drive down to Prettify Me! read more

Love going to this nail salon because they have a clean environment and are warm + welcoming. This last visit, they took care while filing before I got my new set of gel-x extensions.

This is the best nail shop in Hayward if you are looking for an elevated experience. I selfishly, want to keep them a secret. :). The quality of service is great. Everyone that I have encountered has been nice and willing to help each other out. My main stay is MASON. I love me some Mason. He is attentive, nice and gives THE best massages. The owner, Emily is really nice and accommodating. I love the vibe as well. It is chill, relaxing and elevated as well. One of the elevated services they offer is by offering different drinks the moment you arrive.. Mark, the manager, I believe is also nice and accommodating by helping to arrange appointments, I was very impressed to learn that detailed notes are kept regarding personal preferences. It's nite to have a shop close to home that will provide the same, great services provided over the hill or in SF. Do I recommend this place? Absolutely and Yes Is this review from an actual customer? Absolutely and Yes The price point is more than your average however, what can one say.....You get what you pay for...... read more

I went here a few times and they are extremely nice! BUT for the pricing the pedicures are not it! I feel like the ladies doing pedicures do not have much experience in cleaning the nails. The cuticles around the nails are not done well. For $60 & more wish they would do a better job! Hopefully they can make changes because they have so much potential! One more thing I didn't like at all how the tools were not cleaned for manicure she had to clean them after she started usually the tools are cleaned prior to starting! read more

Such a great spot! Huge parking lot. Very comfy chairs--even for plus size people like me. I have had Kieu do my nails many times and they always turn out beautifully! I recommend booking in advance because it does tend to get busy. read more
