What a wonderful experience! My mini wanted her nails done for her birthday, and The Lounge Nail Spa made it extra special. The staff was kind, patient, and did an amazing job on both of our nails. Her bright birthday nail design turned out absolutely adorable, and she couldn't stop smiling and showing them off. The salon itself was beautiful, clean, and relaxing. The pedicure chairs were comfortable, and the atmosphere felt calm and welcoming. One thing I noticed was how happy all of the clients seemed. Everyone looked relaxed, satisfied, and genuinely enjoying their visit. My manicure and pedicure turned out beautifully, and my hands and feet feel refreshed and look great. This was the perfect birthday treat, and we'll definitely be back. Highly recommend for anyone looking for excellent service, a relaxing atmosphere, and beautiful results! read more

I have been coming to this salon for about two years now, usually I've solely come for the pedicures. I've had my nails done a few times and it's been okay I always get Gel-X the last two times have been an awful job. This second time, was my last time coming and it was about 3 weeks ago. The gel-x was soooo thick it took so much acetone at a different salon under my nails that it burned off a layer of my skin. The nails where so uneven and the tech was not in a goood mood the entire time and I knew she didn't even want to file or shape them and on top of it it took 2 hours or more. For 140$ for a pedicure and new basic red gel-x set. I went to a new salon and paid 79$ for removal and a new set that was shaped and done with more respect and professionalism. Disappointed because I did love this shop and overall service . read more

Service was super friendly at this location. The gal who did the pedicure did a buff that last- no joke, 4 weeks!!! I'm not as big a fan of manicures but like to do the service as a pair. The quality for a guys manicure wasn't something I'd go back for- the pedicure, absolutely. Vibe was chill, I came after work during the week and was seen immediately. Everyone was friendly. Try them out and see if you like them. read more

I literally just sat down in the chair, and I can't even tell you how my nails are gonna turn out, but I would come here again already just based off of the customer service. They were a little bit busy when I walked in and they squeezed me in. I'm traveling for work and I wanted to pop in and get a manicure and pedicure and I'm so grateful they got me in. It's clean, professional, and the massage chairs are amazing. There's nothing worse than a weak massage. Wish I lived closer, but I'll be coming here whenever I'm around the area! I can do an updated review after my nails are done, but I work in the customer service industry and I know that 90% of a service is how you were treated before during and after. So far 10/10. Ken was so welcoming and kind. Good sense of humor too, that's always a huge plus ***update*** Just walked out and I don't think I've ever gotten a better gel manicure and pedicure in my life. The combination of the customer service and the nail polish is so smooth there isn't one little bump or bubble. The shape is perfect. Obsessed with the color. I wish I could bring this whole Salon back to San Diego with me. Another thing I wanted to mention is how the staff interact with each other. Everybody's laughing and smiling and that's not always the case. 10 out of 10 I am beyond impressed. read more

The Lounge Nail Spa - Gel manicure, color "fudgecicle" - Nail Salons Near Me - Oakland, California

Perfect for hosting big groups! Came with a group of coworkers, and everyone had a good time. I had a jelly pedicure and deluxe gel manicure. While the massage I received was relaxing, wished my cuticles were cut cleaner, and the polish applied more evenly. The polish looked lumpy and some were painted on my cuticles. The decor is modern and clean. There's lots of polishes to choose from. Sadly no OPI though, mostly DND. read more

If you're obsessive about perfect nail shape, see Amanda. She has been so kind to me since I started seeing her, always remembering me and my preferences. I think I've been four or five times now and I don't have to tell her anything about what shape or colors I should get because she knows what I like by heart. Also she somehow can make my fills last almost four weeks every single time. Truly a miracle worker. She's great for suggestions that match your personal style too. Her skill with a nail file is unmatched. Seriously such a skilled professional. It's very clear she takes her craft seriously and takes pride in her beautiful work. Thank you for giving me my dream nails Amanda! read more

Came as a walk in around 3:55 and was sat in a chair for a pedicure by 4:05! Which was great for me! The place appears clean, but all of their sanitizers are in the back. The manager came around with the broom twice in the hour I was there, so making sure it stays tidy is a priority. Their color selection is decent, not organized in anyway, but they've got plenty to pick from, and their pedicure chairs have a nice message feature. I got a deluxe pedicure which entailed a 10 minute message, a scrub and a hydrating lotion mask. It was lovely and the woman (Kim) who did the pedicure put a timer on so I knew it was definitely a 10 minute massage!! Her massage was mostly focused on calves, which was nice, but wished it had been a little more balanced (with ankle and heel focused). She also got me a little too deep with the cuticle cutter on my right foot, but haven't seen any blood so hoping it's not an issue. The music they have playing is at a good volume,not too loud, but audible, and it's like 90's / brunchy type music. Overall at this rate I'll be back. Now I just want to see how long my polish lasts. read more

I have gone to this salon about 4-5 times now and noticed each time I was quoted a different price. I let it slide and tipped generously each time. This last time, which was 6 days ago from this post, my gel polish is peeling and quite frankly has solidified my reasoning to not ever go here again. I travel extensively for work and don't have time to go in to get this fixed and really shouldn't need to when I paid 60 plus 10 tip. I won't be going back there again. I value and consider people's reviews online and hopefully mine will be of value to others wondering about this place. read more

Always friendly and attentive staff. Relaxing and clean space. I think they accept walk-ins, but if you're on a tight schedule, you're best off booking an appointment. I just get a regular (not gel) pedicure, but I usually try and find the holographic nail polishes from the rack. read more

Requested line work that was a very simple (in terms of design) outline. The original technician I had was not experienced enough to achieve the design requested although upon viewing the photo she said she could do it and during the process did not reference the photo and when I told her that this wasn't the same line work as the photo she demanded it was. Which prompted me to pull up the photo to show her it in fact was not. Also, during the process she would forcefully push my hand back once she was "done" with a coat so that my nails could cure in the UV light. This did not make the situation any better. This was my first time here as a recommendation of a friend and I brought my mother with me to give her a spa day. I will NOT return to this establishment and it was not worth the cost. If you are coming to get line work please go elsewhere. read more

I've been going to this shop for the last 3 years and after my last visit this past Sunday, I will never return. I got a gel overlay fill and in the process, the nail technician who was doing my nails filed down the entire length of my real nails underneath the gel overlay (I was on my phone and not paying attention to what she was doing). When I confronted her about it, I was told that the reason she did it was to avoid a fungal infection...because my real nails were lifting. While I understand the reason, she should've asked me if I was ok with her completely filing off my real nails. I would've just asked for a full set had I known she was concerned about a possible fungal infection. I am angry that she took it upon herself to file my real nails completely off, and the lack of preservation she showed for my real nails which by the way were the SAME length as my gel overlay fill. I felt comfortable going to the shop after 3 years and all of the technicians would frequently compliment the length and integrity of my real nails which I've maintained over time. I cannot understand why this specific technician who has done my nails before, would think this is ok! I am also completely turned off that I was not offered any discount for this complete violation and was still asked to pay a tip (which I absolutely refused). read more

This is my regular place for my gel filled manicures and pedicures. I've used them for other types of nails as well. I like the owner here. He's fun and upbeat. I've never had a bad experience here and I've been coming here for about a year and a half. I don't know why IT's sometimes hard to find this place on Google. Not a bad word to say. Ok prices for the area and convenient location. A yes for me read more

I used to come to this spot when I lived near by a few years ago. It was goo so I continued to go even after I moved away a few years ago. Ever since then my nails have just not turned out good. They seem to rush through the appointment and the guy at the front desk is rude. He would scoff at my comment when I would ask for a color or show him a reference and then speak to his technician in another language. I will not be returning. I have given this place one too many chances. Also, this last time the technician cured my gel x with all the tips angled up for whatever reason. read more

Nice & cleanly, came in for a gel pedicure. I decided to upgrade to the deluxe pedicure service. Honestly not impressed- the only difference was they put a powder in my foot bath & let the lotion sit on my legs for an extra amount of time. Kind of a waste of money- just stick with the basic I got French tip design and asked the woman doing the painting to fix a crooked line she made and her initial response was that my toe was crooked lmao and after the back forth she fixed the issue. read more

I have come here many times. However, I'm sorry to say that my last visit was awful. I brought my two sisters here for a mani/pedi. The pedi was so odd and unsafe. Chair massages didn't work and they painted our toes before massaging, which made the massage lack luster. The worse part? The person doing my pedi hurt my nail bed so much when cutting my cuticle and I was left in pain. Then the next day, my toe is still in pain, red and infected (see photo). I've never had an infection coming from a nail place. So sad but very upset and disappointed. Staff need better training and the place needs an upgrade. read more

Two weeks later and I'm still impressed with my gel mani-pedi. This was my first time getting my nails done again since COVID. I was able to call and make an appointment 1.5 hours before coming in on a Thursday. I'm glad I didn't because they were fairly busy. A few walk-ins had to schedule for later appointments. The CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS INCREDIBLE!!!! The gentleman at the front was so inviting and charismatic while also managing the timing of several appointments and helping me to communicate with my nail tech! He repeatedly checked on me during my appointment to make sure I was comfortable, happy with my design, etc. And when he was unsure my tech would be able to complete the design I showed her to my satisfaction, he offered that if I wasn't happy with it that I wouldn't have to pay for the design! I ended up loving the design and will definitely be coming here for my nails for the foreseeable future. And 2 weeks later, my nails have grown but NOT A SINGLE CHIP OR LIFTING OF THE GEL!!! Happy to have my nail home in the bay! Pros: Customer service, color options, ambiance, long-lasting manicure Cons: No online scheduling available read more

Pricey! I paid $55 for a gel manicure and regular pedicure, NO massage. Whoa! The nails came out great but definitely not worth $55 with especially no basic massage other places do for cheaper. The ladies were nice. I'm a very particular person and had to tell the manicurist to file to even out my nails which I never had to do before, figured they got it under control. Anyway, the pedicure massage was great and she painted my toes very meticulously. The manicure is cute but could've gotten rid of the little flaws like a piece of hair on the nail. I liked this place in general but it is waaay overpriced. Maybe I'll see if their other locations charge the same price. read more
