Gabriela Rocio L.

my favorite place ever! If you are looking for someone who is great at designs Nina is your girl! I swear I am never disappointed when I am there. Everyone is so lovely! nails done by nina!

Nails done by Ivy!

This place is seriously the best! Everyone's service is great, but I have a favorite (Ivy). The vibe is what you'd expect at a nail shop. They're good at meeting your nail expectations needs. I have a favorite nail tech "Ivy" is who I tell everyone to see. She's super detailed oriented and will be more than happy and redo a nail if it's not to her own standards. Price is very reasonable especially when you go other places! Please, give this place a chance!

Pedicure time

Came in for a pedi, very nice and good pedicure. Good service, wanted to sit in hot water, they placed ne in a chair but forgot to turn on the water

Nails done by Jason. Perfect shaped. I had cat eye color gel and chrome design. Definitely recommended

My nails were done by Lucy and I'm obsessed! I've tried so many different salons for the cat-eye style and always left disappointed, but Lucy absolutely nailed it. She did such an amazing job! :)

I came across this salon on accident and what a happy accident! The staff is extremely friendly and great at what they do. Recommend for a solo or group experience.

Vacation nails!

Nina is so talented! My daughter brought in a picture for inspo and they turned out great! The staff is so friendly and meticulous. Highly recommend.

I've been going to Tara Nails for a few years now & I love them. Everyone is so nice. I can bring them any nail design & they always execute them & never disappoint. They make you feel like family. I refer all of my friends & clients to them. Highly recommend.

The best!!! I normally see Jason for my nails but everyone is great! I have been going here for a few years now and have always had good experiences!

No decals. All hand painted by the best - Nina!

I don't yelp much, but I have to here! Nina is my go to girl for all my crazy nail design requests. Talented is not saying enough. They're all good and so sweet. Never ever disappointed leaving the nail salon. 10/10

They do a really great job. My gel pedicure has lasted a good amount of time with no chipping or anything.

The space is really beautiful and welcoming, and the staff are kind--I appreciated being greeted right when I walked in. That said, both times I've visited, I did end up waiting a bit past my appointment time, which was a little frustrating. The services themselves felt a bit rushed, and I didn't get the same level of attention to detail I've experienced at other places. I also noticed that the wax residue wasn't fully cleaned off afterward, which I personally prefer as part of the service. Lastly, there were a few areas that felt slightly incomplete, so I didn't leave feeling 100% satisfied with the results. Because of these issues, I don't think I'll be returning.

She worked with confidence and skill, making the waxing process smooth and comfortable. On top of that, she was friendly, pleasant, and very accommodating throughout the appointment. I was especially impressed by her honesty--she adjusted the price when the service required less work than originally scheduled. Overall, a professional and customer-focused experience. I highly recommend Stephanie and her services!

It has now been 2 years since I have been a client of Katie. I felt the need to give an update…read morebecause it's been a while. I have went to two other studios one in Berkeley that specializes in sugaring and the other in rock ridge that has two other locations and both spas are around if night hire pricing as nude salon. Timing and distance is the only reason I went to another salon. One was so uncomfortable and the lady was extremely rude the second place the lady after I told her twice burnt me. With this being said I will not go anywhere else but with Katie. I live in el cerrito so it is a drive and with traffic can take over an hr but she is so worth it. Her space is always clean the having slight ice this puts me at ease. The wax is always top quality and never once over a dozen times too hot or caused any irritation. She is also extremely kind and works at a speed I don't feel rushed but it is fast I can get in and out writhing 30 min if I don't chat her ear off too much. Her booking system is easy but I find it best to reschedule ahead to get my desired appointment she books out. If you are new to waxing or a seasoned waxed looking for a fabulous wax Katie is your girl. I appreciate her making a service that can be scary and painful as painless as possible. I always feel so much more confident and grateful after my wax session. Don't walk run to make your apt. Alexandra

Katie is super skilled and has a has a demeanor that makes even Brazilians seem relaxed!read more
