No noise, not a bunch of loud talking people on phones and all of that nonsense. It was just me and Mr. Charlie ( Owner). I asked for a mani/pedi. He explained what he was doing, and he was very calm, very professional. The energy was very very clean. He did a fantastic job. I will be back. I think this is going to be my new spot. No more driving way out to El Cerrito.

Tommy is extremely unprofessional. I was actually really happy to have found someone in town that…read moredoes Gel-X. (Gel-X was basically press-on thats are adhered with gel and cured and designed on top). Mine started lifting and popping off in 1.5 wks. Let me give a little gist as to why I am giving Tommy this one star. I found Tommy 3 wks ago and he did a really nice gel-x set on me and took the nail design inspo pics I showed him and did his thang, which luckily they turned out cute. Fast forward 2 wks, I need a new set cus a few of mine popped off and I had weekend plans so I was trying to get right. I booked a 3:30pm appointment with him and he confirmed with "Ok! Got you down!" The day comes and I realize traffic is bad and I need more time, so I text to let him know I will be there at 3:45pm but maybe sooner. He replies with "take your time I'm a little behind" Me thinking he needed more time, I came at 4pm (30 min after my initial appointment) He lets me in his salon and asks me to wait in the salon lobby since he was still with a client. After waiting 30 mins, I texted him at 4:30pm and ask how much longer cus I had a 6pm appointment after. He reassures that he is almost done and we were good on time. Now at 5:20pm (over an hr later), he texts me asking me if I could come back after my appointment, offering me free nails and even doing a house call. Which did not work for me. So we reschedule for today (July 3 @ 4pm) and guess what? As I pull up at almost 4pm, he sends me a text asking if I can come at 7 or tomorrow morning! Hell TF NO!! Last minute?!! I am DONE with him and his unprofessionalism. This is the problem with techs, they don't know how to prioritize their time. Tommy and I even spoke about it too. The previous owner of Great Nails (which Tommy took over last year but sold and now rents a small room inside a Latino hair salon) would overbook and clients would complain. Hypocrite much? I don't know if Tommy overbooked or didn't prioritize his time, either way, it's unacceptable. Maybe cus he thought he was giving me a free nail set, he can do what he wants. I am still a client! I was't coming for no free shit. The fact that he thinks it's ok to cancel on me last minute not once but TWICE, is what really bothers me. ------- UPDATE: *Let drop the review for my first appointment* He was in the process of moving and setting up his room, so he didn't have much set up yet. He was talking about himself saying he the best shit and what nots. Said I wouldn't be disappointed and blah blah blah. Yeah, l liked my nails but it wasn't exactly what I wanted. His work may be nice but there are plenty other techs that can put out great work. He thinks he's some hot shit cus he came from SoCal. Gel-X is to me is cheating anyways. Lazy work. He didn't have all his material, his uv lamps were dying, and in the end he drew this bullshit Lord of the Rings shield looking design, but I didn't want to make him change it after he did all this work on it. I didn't hate my nails so I wanted to give him another try when all his stuff was set up properly to be able to give a real review. I never got that chance cus Tommy unprofessionally cancels last minute. Free or not, does not excuse cancelling last minute TWICE. If he thinks that he is not wrong, he is DA LU LU Btw, his spot had little to no parking and the area isn't the safest. Busy but a lot weirdos.

Pedi: My toe was cut so short I am still in pain the next day, product was left on my leg, skirt was covered in lotion, tips completely uneven. Mani: rushed through, no base coat, sloppy application, uneven ends, chipped within hours. Longer version: I came in with a friend for the same mani-pedi so I was able to compare our service. We were shown to chair next to each other. I was waved to put my feet in the basin. It was hot and I yelped, then noticed no liner (friend has warm water and liner). She started over with a liner, then filled it until it spilled out on the floor. The manicurist left my manicure to clean up the mess. She returned to my mani without washing her hands after cleaning the dirty floor and was not wearing gloves. I had asked for short pedi and long mani. I got short mani and cut to the quick pedi. The pedi cut 3 toes down to the quick, when she used the acetone I actually jumped in pain as it stung in my fresh cut. The filing hurt and was uneven. Her massage was painful, she just dug into my muscles instead of gently circulating the scrub. She didn't wash the scrub off as I came home with a big, dried patch of it still on my leg. She got lotion all over my skirt. The mani was sloppy. She didn't pay attention, rushed through the process, forgot the base coat, and skimped on the layers so it was uneven showing through. I expect smooth, glassy looking finish. This many was full of uneven ridges and smudges. She started my mani after my friend's manicurist, stopped to clean the floor, and finished 5 minutes before my friend's manicurist. It looks terrible and started chipping later that day. I guess she didn't injure me like the pedicure. It's the day after and I am limping with pain in my toes. Avoid.

I've been here twice so far for pedicures only. First impression: the space looks nice, clean, and…read moreelegant. On closer look, some of the spa chairs are older and a bit worn, but the massage functions work well and there's a good variety of settings, so comfort-wise it still does the job. Most of the staff are Asian-speaking, with a few English speakers. I was fortunate both visits to have a tech who spoke fluent English and clearly understood my requests, which I appreciated. They offer a full service menu -- basic pedicure starts at $38, $48 for gel. I opted for the deluxe spa pedicure with gel because it includes paraffin wax at $68. On my first visit, I had requested regular polish, but I was distracted on my phone and didn't realize gel polish was applied until the UV lamp was already on my foot. Just a heads-up -- be mindful and confirm services as they go. I didn't say anything and accepted the extra charge. On my second visit, I did request gel from the start. Both pedicures were good but nothing to rave about. However, after my second visit, once I got home, I noticed my heel was snagging my sock. Upon closer look, I saw small cut marks from cuticle nippers. I already maintain my heels regularly with a pumice stone, so I was surprised. Whatever was clipped ended up leaving my heel rough, and it took some time at home to smooth it back out. No one should walk in with loved feet and leave feeling like they got SOS pads. That said -- would I go back? Yes. I'm hoping the heel issue was an isolated incident. Overall, I liked the service, especially the gentle and attentive care when removing ingrown toenails, which was done well both times. A solid spot with a nice atmosphere -- just be attentive during service and hopefully the details stay consistent.

There were several nail techs available while I waited. I'm not sure why I was waiting around, I assume because not all of them know how to do a gel-x manicure? If that were the case, I wish they communicated this. My 3-star review is mostly for these reasons. Other than that; I am happy with the results. I asked for a natural pink set which is what I got. It's been about 2 weeks since I got my nails done and one of them is chipping already. :( The space itself is nice. Felt like I was in Vegas. There is plenty of parking available out front.!

On Tuesday morning, I tried calling because online it showed they were open, but they were actually closed. When I reached her, she said it was due to an emergency, which I completely understood. She told me to come back the next day to fix the nails. When I came back, I was told they had to leave early for a holiday party. Again, I was understanding and asked when I could return. She said Friday. By Friday, all of the nails on my right hand were chipped or coming off. When I arrived for the fix, instead of being professional, she rolled her eyes, shook her head, and told me to go sit down. When she finally came over, I asked what might have happened, and she responded with, "I don't know, this doesn't happen to my customers. I don't know what you did," essentially blaming me for the poor work. She continued to have an attitude the entire time, offered no explanation or apology, and when finished simply said, "There you go, you'll be alright." Nails should not start failing within 24 hours, especially builder gel. Mistakes happen, but the way I was treated was rude, dismissive, and unprofessional. Customer service matters just as much as the quality of the work, and unfortunately this experience lacked both.
