I called Style Nails on the day of for a last minute appointment, and they were able to get me in at 5pm. That said, expect to be "squeezed in," cause I had to wait about 30-40 mins after arriving to actually be seen. But, still appreciated them taking me. I came in for a gel manicure on my natural nails, but 1 finger was chipped. I asked if they could do a single extension, they recommended to use builder gel instead. At first, it looked fine, but after it cured, it was noticeably thick and not shaped very well. As a result this one fell off after a week. I also tried to point out that the shaping on my nails looked inconsistent from one finger to the next. The technician told me it was just because my finger widths are different & it's impossible to make them look the same. I understand that natural nails are harder to make uniform (compared to extensions), but I was disappointed with the lack of effort. The gel manicure itself was okay. I got a pink color with chrome powder, it lasted about two weeks. Overall, for around $50, I feel like you get what you pay for. It wasn't a terrible experience, but the attention to detail, especially with the shaping and the builder gel, was lacking. The service was friendly though, and you get a stamp card for every visit. read more

I have been getting my nails done every two weeks for almost three years, and I still feel lucky that I found Trinh on my very first try after moving to the area. Her work is consistently amazing. I love fun, creative nails and usually come in with inspiration photos. Every single time, Trinh delivers!! My nails always turn out better than I imagined. Sanitation is a big deal to me. I had a hard time finding a salon in my last neighborhood that followed proper sanitary procedures, and this place was such a relief. They clearly take sanitation seriously, and I always feel comfortable coming here. I have also had great pedicure experiences, and the barber and hair side of the salon is impressive to watch. Fast, precise, and everyone leaves looking great. Writing this review feels risky because I want to keep my appointments, but this salon deserves the love!! If you want beautiful nails and a place that does things right, this is it!!! read more

I've never really tried this place but its walkable distance from my home. I love the service that you get. The ladies seem to be extremely nice and always asking it you want/need anything extra. I would say my biggest pet peeve in general is when they ask to either Venmo, zelle or provide cash for the tip. My phone is always at 5% so by the time I get out of there i don't even have a working photo to be able to tip. Otherwise, vibe is good and they do do a great job! read more

I am a guy and have gotten my hair cut here by Kimmy a couple of times. She is fast and does a nice job with my clipper cut fade. That's not a small order because I'm getting thin on top, but she seems to make it work. The bonus: She gave a short chair message afterwards -- not expected but welcome. Price was reasonable. Parking was free in the neighborhood, or you can park at a meter on University. Bottom line: This has become my new default haircut spot. read more

I would give the shop 5 stars if it wasn't for them using MMA and dental acrylic to cut costs. It's a shame because Trinh is a skilled nail tech who does really nice looking nails. If you do go here, avoid acrylic/monomer services, and stick to regular or gel polish, hard gel, gel-xtensions, etc but I do not recommend getting acrylic here. Edit: I do want to emphasize they do a good job overall and I'd probably go back for a pedicure, so I added a star. But my concern for their lack of concern using a banned ingredient remains. read more

After a very brief misunderstanding about my appointment time, the appointment went extremely well! I wasn't able to get the type of nail service I had initially scheduled (because of the time mix up), but the services I received (gel mani and regular pedicure) were above par! Holly did both my pedicure and manicure and both were very well done. They also have a loyalty program where after ten visits you get one free (don't quote me but don't forget to ask for a loyalty card). They accept Venmo and other forms of electronic payment. Staff members are extremely pleasant which makes for a very cool vibe. Scheduling thru Booksy is easy, but if you have questions you can always call. Last thing is I believe they are moving soon, so be sure to confirm address. read more

I've tried a couple nail salons in Berkeley, and this spot is my new favorite. Each time I've gone my cuticles look so goooood. They line up the edges of the gel so well that my nails didn't chip and lasted over 3 weeks. Their nail art looks great on their Instagram. Lately I've leaned towards simpler nail styles, and love their ombré options. Also don't miss out on their deluxe pedi. It is worth it! They used hot stones as a part of the massage. read more

I can zone out and trust that at the end of the service my toes are immaculate. The few times I've had my pedi done by others have also been very good. This is a top shop!

Got gelx done and already lifting after 1 week, I come in to get my nails done again and show an example photo of french tip and flowers on top for 4 out of 10 nails. The lady at the front desk is very rude when I mistakenly said I want a "fill" and explains multiple times to me that gelx is not a fill like I'm stupid, and seems annoyed with me when it was an honest mistake and I misspoke. After looking at the example photo they said that they don't have the artist available to do it nor do they have the 'tools' to do what I show as an example.. to paint a flower on top of a french tip? I'm not sure if they were confused with what I asked but after talking with the other technician she goes back to me and asks if I found another photo, which she didn't ask me to do, and I said no it's okay. This annoyed her too and she seemed very irritated with me, it seems like they lack professionalism and it doesn't hurt to be nice especially when I was being respectful and understanding. I understand that it can be very busy and stressful emvironment but it doesn't mean you can be rude and disrespectful to a potential client requesting a service. I will not be coming back. read more

I'm almost afraid to praise this shop for fear that it may become overbooked and overpriced! And, if you're anything like me, you search out the bad reviews first and will never look at this 5 star review. The location is perfect for my Berkeley shopping circle since I'm always pleased to do business locally. The salon itself is immaculate and quiet with comfy chairs and a meditative screen showing Japan during Cherry Blossom season. Joy was my "specialist" extraordinaire! She showed amazing attention to detail, with everything from cleaning my feet, massaging my legs making sure to keep me comfortable. She was completely in control while painting my toenails with a gorgeous gel at a very reasonable price.

My mani and pedi got a regular one was $140 all together because I chose to have 2 nails painted at a 1 level decoration that was $15. Which was beyond overpriced. I lib had seen the nail example of a level 1 decoration I would have never gotten it. The level 1 decoration for 2 nails was just a touch of glitter on top. That was ridiculous. I would have never paid $15 for a level design 1 that I could have done so easily by myself, it's super problematic that they charged that much. Also the woman at the desk was a Kurt and not super friendly. The computer was having problems charging my card, so she had to manually put it in. And that was fine but she had asked me if I wanted to leave gratuity after I told her no, since I had never been to the place before, I wanted to know if it was worth a tip. She then asked me again to tip after I told her no. No one is entitled to a tip unless they've earned it. I had a problem with her but my manicurist and pedicurist people were very nice. My manicurist Nguyen does a really great massage. Highly recommend her. They were polite and wanted to do a good job. I liked them. I do wish around my nails was more cleaned up, but maybe it's just my super dry skin. I do like that they offer drinks, like peach Prosecco. That was great and helped me forget the ridiculous overpricing. I understand they give benefits to their staff but like $15 for a level 1 decoration for only 2 nails is laughable. For a stroke of glitter on top???? Or we serious right now??? I'd never come here again unless I have a boyfriend or partner who is willing to pay for it for me. I like the woman at the front desk there is annoying. I'd go somewhere else more affordable. Also important note is that they had NO DRYER for your nails. She had to bring over a mini fan that was useless. It already made a chip and bubble in my nails. Not worth it... come here if you have someone else pay for it, and to support the women working there who do your nails but I wouldn't come here to pay for it myself.

They offer tea!

Stopped in here since my nails were damaged and I had a bit over an hour to kill. I asked if they…read moredo walk in, and they said yes, but I'll have to wait about 5 mins while they were finishing up. Sure, no problem. They asked what I wanted, and I mentioned a gel polish, with some length extension, and they said OK. They didn't do the typical Gel X that actually stays on my nails longer than few weeks, but that's alright. I was down to try something new to get some good looking nails. I was called up and the person said they can give me a gel manicure, round shape, cannot add length. It was the quickest manicure ever - not even 30 mins! Not sure if the gel cured properly since it all lifted within a couple days. Appreciated the time, but they should have let me know they had other customers to attend to, notably those that came in a bit after me with appointments. I think I was super rushed because of that, and the quality suffered for it. I'm not too bummed just because it wasn't overly expensive and I didn't look this place up beforehand, but can see how someone can just one star this place after seeing photos here and there experience I had since it didn't quite match up. Prob also depends on which tech you get as well, but for now, I'll def stick to my usual nail salon and gel x applications.

Amy was my nail technician and when I asked her for a very complicated nail art for my birthday she took on the challenge and absolutely went the extra mile for me, and she has my gratitude!! She checked in with how I was liking everything at each step, helped me pick out colors from their collection, and her hands were steady and perfectly executed the patterns I wanted. I cannot thank her enough - I took more time and focus than normal and she treated me so well. Each design made me smile so much and I am so glad I came up here from Oakland. My mom loved the luxurious experience and the private room for her pedicure and said the wax is a real treat, she will be choosing it again the next time she gets a pedicure.

To all you ladies with beautiful nail beds, I envy you! Anyways, she was able to optimize the shape of my nails for their length so that they are comfortable and cute. And the gel is on there securely. See photos. Definitely recommend this nail salon. It's also very clean, and the employees are great. Thanks!

I don't really use the massage chair at pedicures. The homemade scrubs they do are what really brings it home. Most places don't really do that anymore, so it's one of the highlights, and reminds of Jaydn Taylor in Alameda back in the days. They are also detailed in what they do and the vibes are really relaxing.

Both times, my friends didn't have issues looking for parking, so this is a plus. The first time we came, we had lunch around the area and asked if they can accommodate us. We stuck gold, when they said they have time for us after our brunch. I came back again this weekend, but we scheduled an appointment with them this time. Both times, the technician was ready for us and were very welcoming. The place is pretty clean and and relaxing, as I found it surprising that you aren't overpowered by the smell of nail polish. Huge bonus for that! My friends and I did all get a manicure and pedicure. Joy ended up being my technician and gave me some suggestions on what color nails I should do, since I wanted to match my outfit (if you know me you know me). Joy is actually a great tech, she's very patient and didn't rush the process. Joy sparked joy for me when she recommended the scrub. It wasn't just any scrub, it was a coffee scrub. I love the smell of coffee and this literally made my weekend. My feet felt so amazing afterwards and my nails looked so cute! My friends and I will definitely be back here the next time we in the area. And a special shoutout to Joy again for making my weekend perfect!

I went in on 4/11, texted her on 4/12. It was raining pretty hard so I was stuck at home not doing anything crazy to justify the chipping. It's now the 16th and crickets. I spent $150 ($50 deposit, $100 day of service) for gel nails that haven't even lasted as long as regular polish. Not to mention, when I arrived there were no instructions on how to get into the building. No signage. No way to communicate with her. I almost left until she texted me 7 minutes after the scheduled appointment time. I'm pregnant and I was out waiting in the rain as I had taken a Lyft there. I want my money back!

I had a terrible experience at this nail salon and would strongly recommend staying away. The moment I walked in, I was hit with a strong chemical smell that was honestly reminiscent of roach spray. On top of that, the staff were incredibly rude and unprofessional. There was no welcoming attitude, and any questions were an annoyance. Between the unpleasant environment and the poor service, this was easily one of the worst nail salon visits I've had. I won't be returning, and I wouldn't suggest anyone else waste their time or money here. read more

Trinh did a great job on my Gel-X nails and she works quick. However, the customer service could be improved, as she came across as a bit rude. While I'm okay with the quality of her work, the overall experience wasn't ideal. Additionally, haircuts were happening right next to the nail area, which isn't the best setup since hair can easily get into customers' spaces. Overall, the nails look great, but the experience didn't make me want to return. read more

Took a friend here for a manicure for her birthday. My nails were splitting, a bit brittle, and…read moreshort, so a technician suggested Gel-X to help them grow out, and it was my first time trying this. While I think this salon is decent at regular/gel manicures (my pedicure was great) I do not recommend going here for anything beyond that. A few things: - The color was not the one I selected. I selected a pearl color and it went on clear - I was reassured it would match the sample after three coats. It did not. - The polish wasn't drying properly, so the technician had to repaint my thumb several times. Each time she repainted she did so without a base coat, when I suggested she start with a base coat it finally stuck. - The top coat was not smooth at all, but patchy and I had to request they apply it over many nails - The glue under the Gel-X was so thick it actually cut my skin and I had to file it at home - The actual gel x nails started to fall off as soon as I got home. I asked another salon closer to where I live to reapply and they were shocked by the job that was done. - More nails kept falling off - 6 so far. It's been 3 days. I would have gone back to get this completely redone but I was traveling and am out of town for the holidays so I have to fix this elsewhere. Update on 12/22/23: Hi Glamour Salon team: Thank you for the offer to refill, but I have to travel to three cities this holiday (which is why I was hoping these nails would last). I had to squeeze in an appointment to a nearby salon to redo my nails. While I won't be coming back, I would appreciate a refund of the manicure (not the pedicure or the tip), if possible.
