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!

Marisol I.

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!

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

Ombre dipping powder set done by Jada. Summer vibes

Han N.

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.

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

Absolutely love Tara Nails! I've always come here to get deluxe gel pedicures (I spent $65 but they have like 5 different options on their list - 10/10 recommend). But yesterday I got a full set and it looks amazing. I only waited 15/20 minutes and I walked in at 1:15. All the nail techs are so sweet and reliable! The shop is always clean and they have COVID measures that make me feel safe. Can't wait to go back soon read more

I am so happy that I decided to give this place a try. My old nail guy from another nail shop quit. So I had to find someone else. I called made an apt and told them I am picky with my nails and the lady knew exactly what I meant with out me having to say anything else. I came in with my 2 little ones And was never giving a wrong look they are so friendly. Even the vibe is not like other nail shops. They all seem happy the lady that did my nails did an amazing job I'm so happy with how my nails turned out. Most definitely coming back! Thank you guys!!! read more

I came here for a mani / pedi this week and I was not impressed. The woman who did my toes was digging and digging on my big toe. Tried saying I had a ingrown toenail... pretty sure I'd know since they hurt really bad. Finally after making my toe bleed and telling her it hurts for the 3rd time she stopped trying to dig at it.

I have been coming to Tara's for over ten years. They remodeled over the last couple years and the place looks great. The salon is clean unlike other salons in the area. The owner and the women that work there are so nice and friendly. Not to mention they give the longest hand & foot massage EVER!!! I never feel rushed here. It is worth every penny! They have a special going on right now - $28 for a manicure and pedicure (Monday through Wednesday). You don't see deals like this anywhere in Walnut Creek! read more

A few weeks ago a came in for an ombré pink and white powder full set with Joyce and nails turned out ok (not Joyce's best work.)Today, I returned for a fill of my ombré full set that I was scheduled by their staff for at 6:30pm. I requested for all pink powder to which the nail tech. that assisted me nodded as acknowledgement. Due to the language barrier I typically connect throughout the fill process to ensure there is an understanding of my desired final product, since there have been inconsistencies in the past. I commented to the nail tech. of how my fill was not turning out as expected to which she assured me she was not done and had more to go. When I noticed my nails were being painted a gel color which is not what I requested, I stopped the nail technician and mentioned that I did not request gel. The nail technician then gave me the runaround of why I couldn't get the fill I wanted what despite having the same work completed at this location in the past. Since they were passed closing time they also gave me an insincere option to start over which I declined. This is not the first time they completed a fill/job to which they basically bully me into receiving. I am disappointed with their service and will no longer return. read more

This is a very very late review and a pop up on this made remember how much I enjoyed her waxing…read moreservices. Its been almost 2-3 years since my last visit (2020 )- only because I moved and decided to do laser hair removal (which was totally worth it!). Kelli was very professional and meticulous. Pre- laser, sugaring was my jam- less irritation and smooth AF!

I have been going to Kelli for five years now for my bikini/Brazilian, eyebrow shaping, facials,…read moreand extraction of stubborn pimples. I am always impressed with her conversational skills to distract from what she's doing so close to your face or private parts. She has a natural ability to make you feel comfortable and I always leave happy with her work and that cozy feeling as if I had just caught up with a good friend! Scheduling is super easy thru the Vagaro app. If you have been curious about sugaring, I'd highly recommend going to Kelli for your first time!

Amanda is a lovely human. Her waxing studio is adorable. It's in a lil' magical cottage in her…read moregarden that has an *actual tortoise.*. Soo cute. (She recently moved from another location to a more intimate and private space that is clean and cozy). I saw her for a Brazilian --she is very thorough and gentle. Amanda has several other aesthetic services . I haven't tried them out, but might in the future , as she's very detail oriented and a great listener. Honestly she's the type of person you just want to hang out with, and more importantly she's very and technically skilled.

Amanda was so sweet, professional and did a fabulous job! Would definitely recommend.read more

I have been receiving exemplary service at Tara's Nails for two years. I had been going to another salon, which I will leave nameless, but butchered my manicure the evening before I was to fly to Las Vegas for my company Christmas party. I showed up at Tara's ten minutes before closing begging them to help me, and completely distraught. My nails looked awful. The girls at Tara's stayed open, removed my horrifying, botched fill set, cleaned up my hands and gave me a brand new beautiful set. Then, because I'd been to angry to sit still after the other place made such a mess of me to get a pedicure, they sat me down and gave me one of the best spa pedicures I've ever received. They stayed open until 10pm for me when they had no reason. I RECOMMEND THEM TO EVERYONE I KNOW and I LOVE THEM! read more

I haven't come here in quite a long time. They weren't very good so I stopped going. I needed a pedicure in a pinch and they were the only ones close by and still open on a Sunday. I decided to give them another shot. My sister came with me and got a pedicure as well as a manicure. They're AWFUL! All of the girls would helped us were rough, rushing, and made us bleed. There's polish all around my toes. One of my nails isn't straight. The lady doing my sisters manicure shoved the tool so far under her nail it stabbed into where the skin is attached to the nail. They all yanked our legs and feet around. They were rude. On top of all that their rates are ridiculous. Way to expensive for how bad they are. read more

I love Tara's Nails! They know my name and talk to me, not each other while they are doing my nails. I can almost always just walk in for a pedicure and I feel appreciated here. This is a very cute salon in a strip mall across the street from Whole Foods and just a mile from home, very convenient. Give them a chance and you will be back! read more
