Hidden gem in the adorable town of Niles! This nail salon is clean, friendly, and super affordable -- such a rare combo these days. I was able to walk in without an appointment and got seated pretty quickly. The staff were kind and made the whole experience feel relaxed and easy. Street parking was no issue at all, and there are plenty of lots nearby if needed. While it's not a luxury spa, it's perfect for a reliable, budget-friendly mani/pedi in a charming neighborhood. Def my go to (: read more

This place is tucked away in Niles and honestly getting there seems kind of sketch. But the deals are unbeatable. Got two sets of acrylics, two pedicures, and eyebrows threaded for well under $200. The quality of the acrylic set I would say was a 7.5/10 though. Mainly due to the placement of the nail and the filing. This set did last me over 4 weeks with no breakage. There's a lot of nail techs and the salon is huge. I will say don't come here if you are expecting the best service. It's pretty clear the nail techs love to talk to each other about ... you. read more

I remembered why I didn't return after my first experience here two years ago -- unsanitary and disappointing. My nail technician was rude, just like during my last visit. I understand language barriers and that people express themselves differently, but this felt unnecessarily disrespectful. I only wanted regular polish, but she repeatedly pushed gel even after I said no, even comparing me to other clients who "spend more" on gel. What really crossed the line was when my phone slipped and she raised her eyebrows and called me "messy." I asked her, what do you mean. Then she says you messed up your nail... I'm like NO, I didn't. That completely put me off. I know I won't be visiting again. read more

Went with family to get manicures and pedicures. Good value for gel manicure and pedicure. Make sure to make an appointment before hand. We called morning of and had to wait a bit before we got started but that's okay because we were seated in the massage chairs and enjoyed. They have a good amount of space with two different rooms. They have you wash your hands upon arrival to help keep everyone safe. I would come back here again with family. read more

Really weird. Like, I'm more baffled than mad. After Sunday brunch with some friends, I walked in on a whim to try out builder gel. When I asked if they had any, they kept directing me to the gel and acrylic examples, which are not the same thing. Eventually, they handed me a cardboard box of unopened jars of powder, calling it builder gel (it's not). Oh well, I'm still getting my nails done and that's nice. The experience was rougher than I'm used to. Conversation was nice and she was obviously experienced but the process was different so I didn't always know what we were doing, e.g. curing or adding glue under my nails. A friend tagged along so I was also chatting with them during the process. At the end, nail powder residue was still all over my hands and rubbed in with the lotion, which covered up how rough my cuticles were. You can see them in the attached photos. After paying $50 (includes tip), I walked out to notice that one of my nails was ridiculously crooked. I don't even know if the photo fully shows just how weirdly tilted it is. You can also see spots of blood where I got nicked or pricked by the tools. There's another one where my skin connects under the nail and it is sealed with a thick layer of glue. But hey, what am I going to do - redo it at the same place? I'm not going to rage about it but it was just wild. I'd rather have my $50. read more

I am super dissatisfied with the French tip manicure I got today at pretty nails. I came in with my daughter to get our nails done for an event today. The lady that did my nails was a bit shakey but I gave her the benefit of the doubt! She cut my skin in a few areas. During the process I told her I did not like the white tip ROUND and thought she understood me, she kept working without acknowledging my concerns. Anyway this is the WORST French tip I've ever had! 3 different workers and the owner looked at my nails and they shook their heads and apologized for the bad look. What was more disappointing is that I was not offered a discount. I paid the full $37. I don't think she has enough experience. I do not recommend this place. 5/23/24 UPDATE The owner was kind enough to acknowledge the issue and gave us credit on our next visit. My daughter is very happy with her nails, so updating my review! Thank you for resolving this issue. We appreciate it. Happy customers. read more

Pretty nails is the cheapest nail place I could find in the area; however, although it is cheap - the quality and service isn't compromised. Although I don't get my nails done often, I've been coming here for the past 5 years whenever there's a special occasion to get my nails done. I've gotten simple acrylics and was always pleased with the quality! I recently got a gel pedicure here! The total was $35 and I had an amazing experience.

The salon is very spacious, clean, and the nail technicians are very detailed and particular; my technician named Ni wiped off my entire French tip if it wasn't perfect. The workers here also seem to really enjoy each other's company. The underside of nails could be a little cleaner, the dip and nails could have been filed down more; but they were so careful checking constantly if they got paint on my fingers that I didn't feel any pain under the UV light. This place is better than other salons, even in NY, that cost twice as much. All of that and it's located on the cute street of Niles! My new go-to. read more

Instead, I was told : " I'm sorry it still is in bad condition but it looks like you didn't use any ointment like I suggested" As someone who cares about my skin and previously worked in the aesthetics industry, that assumption was extremely disappointing because I had followed their instructions carefully. I understand that accidents can happen during waxing. What disappointed me was how that was handled afterward. As a long-time customer, I expected more professionalism and accountability.

Great wax and skin care deals, just follow them on Instagram and they do price match.

Indy is a gem and I had such a wonderful experience visiting her. I came in to get my Brazilian wax…read moreand I was in and out in 15 min. She made the experience as pain free as possible with her energy, stories, and technique. Although I had just met her, it felt like I was talking to an old friend with her warm personality. I'll definitely be coming in from now on for my waxing services. The studio is located in Centerville of Fremont upstairs in an office complex, cute and clean. Parking is super easy and pricing is very fair. It's easy to set up an appointment via text to the number on the website, although you may need to book a week in advance for limited availability. Value and service is a 5/5 at Daisy & Duke.

Quick, professional, super friendly, and overall one of the best waxing experiences. Thank you and looking forward to catching up again next time!

We do brazilians and woman's waxing all day.

Helen and the ladies at Pretty Nails in Niles are very sweet and make every effort to spoil their customers with warm towels wrapped around your legs after a pedicure and a neck and upper back massage after mani, pedi or fill. This salon is in my neighborhood, here in Niles and I couldn't be more thrilled to frequent it. My only concern is that it can take some time to be served IF you DO NOT have an appointment. So, the lady who was upset about waiting, likely did not have an appointment. Call ahead or just walk- in, either is fine with them, but be prepared to wait, if you don't have an appointment. Thank you Helen and Rory for doing your best and helping this busy, working Mom get some time to relax. read more

I decently visited for a pedicure, but unfortunately, it wasn't a pleasant experience. During the service, my nail was cut too deeply, causing bleeding and discomfort by a nail technician name T. While accidents can happen, I was disappointed by the lack of proper care and attention to detail. I had to tend to the wound myself and felt uneasy about the overall hygiene standards. I hope the salon takes steps to ensure better training and practices to prevent such incidents in the future. read more

The women here work quickly and effectively. My fills last for months - out of work and out of funds. Their pedicures are also well done and the leg massage with hot lotion is a dream. The pedi or mani end with a good shoulder massage., I was there when the health inspector came and they got an A for cleanliness and record keeping. I'd recommend this very inexpensive and high quality salon. I come from Santa Rosa and wait until I'm in Niles for my treatments. read more

Helen and her team of nail techs are amazing! I can walk in with an inspiration photo and Helen can figure out how to accomplish the look. Everyone at Pretty nails are friendly and professional. I would recommend calling ahead of time to make an appointment, as they can get busy! However, they do take walk-ins. On top of the great service and quality work, the prices are affordable. I highly recommend this nail shop. read more

I love this place!! Ruby is AMAZING! Her work is great and she's a sweetheart! Lots of mani & pedi stalls and they almost always get you started in 10-15 without an appt! They also have a private room upon request! Great place for groups and would make a great gift to give! And the location is in a great neighborhood, salon is sweetly decorated and prices are fantastic!! A MUST- GO!!! read more

I've been to many nail saloons and trust me i've had a few good ones but mostly bad ones. Unitl i came here, they're completely affordable and they do a very good job with the manicures. Normally my manis last for only a couple of days and thats when its starts to chip but not here. Ive had them on for five days and they still look great. read more

I recently had my nails done in Japan, and after 6 weeks, it was time to have them removed and…read morereplaced with a new set. It was easy to schedule an appointment with Nailaland, just give them a call and book. The removal fee was $15, and the cost of a new set varied from $70-90+, depending on the chosen design. Chloe, my nail technician, was very patient during the removal process despite the big jewels flying everywhere as she was filing it off. After showing her a photo of the new design I wanted, she skillfully delivered a pretty finished product that I absolutely loved. Unfortunately, one of the butterfly wings broke after I got home, but Chloe was able to schedule a free fix after I contacted her. The salon accepts Venmo, Zelle, and PayPal as payment methods. I highly recommend coming here for quality Japanese nails.

I have mixed feelings about Nailaland…read more I have been looking for a nail salon in the east bay that uses Japanese gel and stumbled upon this place bc of the great reviews. Japanese gel is supposed to last much longer and doesn't lift. I immediately requested an appt. (it was my first time using this yelp option!). I answered some automated questions about the service I was interested in (nail art), dates I was available for an appt., who I'd like to make an appt. with (I chose Janice bc she had more reviews), and uploaded photos of inspo nails. I was messaged back in a timely matter to confirm the appt. I also inquired about the price (included a photo of the nails i wanted) to know what to expect with nail art. I was quoted $70-$75 (without extensions). Fast forward to my 11am appt. a few days after our interaction.. I arrive 10 min early, but the shop is completely closed. The sign says they are open at 10am, so I'm confused, like maybe I'm at the wrong place or?? I call, a girl apologizes saying someone should be there shortly. Ok, not a huge deal. I thought I would be getting my nails done by Janice, since that's who I chose in my appt. request, but Yumi was the one who opened up the shop and ended up doing my nails. She was really sweet and easy to talk to. For my nails, I wanted the design from the photo, but without the accent nail. I wasn't completely satisfied with my nails bc I feel like it wasn't as precise as in my inspo photo, but it was decent enough. When I went to pay she told me my total was $89, which caught me off guard bc according to our messages, I was quoted $70-$75, which when I told her, she said "I said it would be AROUND $70-$75." Why give a price range and not honor it? $14 is a big difference. Anyway, I'm not one to cause a scene so I paid, tipped, and left feeling like I was taken advantage of. 5 days after getting my nails done, the gel has already started lifting/ peeling. I'm even more disappointed and probably would not come back.
