The only people that come are the elderly folk who don't have a choice. Also, this place doesn't know how to remove basic gel manicure - they ruined my nail be and charged double the original quote of $20 to $40 (on top of a manicure). Never again. Their tools are old, rusted (you can see the brown rust on the tools) and busted - I regret coming here for anything other than a basic pedicure when I'm short on time. I'd rather go to southshore or any other place any day. No skills and does not keep up with the current nail trends or fashion. Dying business just like the rest of the shopping center.

It's been a decade since my last visit, but their exceptional customer service remains as impressive as ever. I recently visited on a Friday evening, hoping to schedule an appointment for the following day. To my delight, they offered me the option to get my full set of gel nails immediately. Lani, the talented nail technician, took her time and ensured that my manicure turned out beautifully.

I accepted the offer of a redo, and they were able to see me quickly. Now that I know what to expect with a Russian mani I was less surprised and able to appreciate the precision and skill needed for this type of service (though will caution anyone who's never gotten one before that it can be a bit uncomfortable; I recommend you look this up before trying it). My nail tech today also did a lovely job with the nail design. She was very skilled and meticulous with her work (grooming, polish and design) so I expect this set will last longer than my last. If you're getting a Russian mani, take note that you can expect it to take nearly 2 hours, so feed the parking meter accordingly. Overall, I am happy with my experience and will be back. :)

I was a regular at another salon in Alameda for the last decade and the last few times I had gone I just wasn't as happy with them as I used to be. After mentioning that to my friend she told me to go to Vena and see Amy. Making my appointment online was super easy and check in when I got there was the same way. I got to sit and pick my color while I waited for a chair to open up and was then offered water or tea while I got my nails done. Amy did my fingers while another one of her coworkers did my toes but both of them were super sweet and good at what they do. I chose a blue/grey cateye color and love how it turned out! Will definitely be coming back here in the future.

I was hesitant to leave this review because I thought the nails looked good in the salon (which…read moremade me overlook how Leann behaved) but when I left and saw how they looked in good light, I was even more upset. My mother-in-law has gone here for years so I thought I would just go back and ask her to fix them but after reading other reviews, it seems Leann no longer enjoys her work. I would prefer to talk with her about it rather than leave a review but after the way I was treated, no thanks. First, I was grateful to get in last minute. I have a bad habit of nail biting and my nails were not in good shape. Still, that doesn't mean I don't know what a quality manicure should be like. She told me on the phone it would be $60 then when I got there she said oh it's $10 extra for French tip. I mentioned French on the phone... Then I wanted round or natural shape and she rudely told me it won't look good because my nail bed is too short. I trusted her because she is the expert but she literally sighed and nearly slammed her hands on the table out of annoyance and said "I'll do it if you want." I took her advice and went with square. Throughout our appointment, basically all she said to me was repeatedly telling me don't bite my nails. Yes, I got it, thanks. She was yelling at her employee throughout and at one point knocked liquid all over my arm and hands from waving her hands around at her. Didn't say sorry or excuse me, nothing. Loved having that liquid burning my hand I did notice that there was a lot of dried stuff all over at the end so I had to ask for lotion because a hand massage is the last thing you'll be getting here. I shouldn't have tipped but did so I spent $84 for a bad attitude, judgment, and a chunky, uneven, bad manicure. Should have just kept my bad nails to begin with. Leann's might have been a nice place at one point in time and it's too bad this is what it's become. My pictures don't even fully show how bad it is. This is no way to treat your customers, especially with the product you are delivering.
