So sad what all these nail places are coming to these days! She couldn't even do a French tip on my nails. They looked so horrible so now I have to take my time to find another salon that can just do the French tip paint because she couldn't! She could have told me she wasn't able to do French tip before I sat down and before she drilled all my nails down.. all she did was the fill and even then there was bubbles from the paint and that's usually from a mixture of nail polish remover being mixed in with the polish.. she had to drill mine off 3 times just so the bubbles would stop reappearing. They look so bumpy and lumpy pls save your money and TIME and don't come here!! I still paid the full amount for this looks worse in person than this picture I promise you!! read more

Tina's Nail Design - Fill ONLY - Nail Salons Near Me - San Pablo, California

Friendly and accomodating! They do a good job when I go there for my pedicures. Convenient for me because it's close to my job.

Tina's Nail Design is a hidden gem located in San Pablo. Tina and her team are incredible friendly and a joy to be around with. You can tell by the energy in the air that many regulars come here and this is reinforced by the way employees engage with customers. I came in and received the Deluxe Pedicure. This included a nail trim, shaping, cuticle grooming, callus treatment, sugar scrub, marine mask, & regular nail polish (I opted not to receive the nail polish). The difference from the regular pedicure is that this includes the sugar scrub and marine mask. Let me tell you - this was worth it! Not only did my feet feel cleaned up and great from the trimming and callus treatment, but the sugar scrub added an extra layer of depth that made my feet and skin feel extra clean, smooth, and teated. I highly recommend coming to Tina's Nail Design. As mentioned, the entire team is excellent and my feet felt AWESOME! Next time I'll opt to get a manicure too! read more

love coming here! barely parking on the street so be prepared, or get dropped off. The ladies are nice and they do a good job!

Best service I've gotten in any salon I've ever been to. Thank you Judy for the beautiful mani-pedi today! I will be back just for you.

This place is great! Def a hole in the wall type place and not in the best area but the service was amazing. I got the deluxe pedicure and it felt so good they fixed my acrylic toe nails and they look great! I also asked for a Halloween theme set of nails and showed them some vampire style nails and Tina did a great job with executing it. read more

Tina's Nail Design - Vampire nails - Nail Salons Near Me - San Pablo, California

Got a gel manicure and regular pedicure for only $50. Most places don't have a group deal anymore. May did my pedicure and I have ingrown nails, for those of you who have them, it's super painful if they don't know how to remove them. May was GREAT, it was painless!!! Lily did my gel manicure and also did an awesome job!!! I will definitely go back. The only downside is the neighborhood isn't all that great. read more

I went here to get a gel mani&pedi. Total was $50 for gel mani & gel pedi + $10 for deluxe pedi. So total was + $60. There was some miscommunication when I asked how much for both GEL MANI & PEDI + DELUXE. I thought they told me $60 total for both but in the end when it was time to pay.. I asked how much they didn't give me a deluxe manicure.. they told me that additional $10 is only for pedi.. they didn't know I wanted both.. so anyway.. The pedicure was 10 out of 10. I forgot her name. The manicure was 5 out of 10. I forgot her name but her daughter's name was Vivian too. She was too busy talking about her Vivian to pay attention to my nails. The gel on my nail bed wasn't perfect and some of the gel got onto my finger tips and was burning under the LED light. I kept telling her and trying to take my hands out and she would tell me to keep it in. And then she had to cut and scrape the hard gel off of my fingers when she realized that I wasn't just being dramatic about it BURNING. I'm picky when it comes to my nails because I can see all the flaws. I just don't like when I just came from the nail salon & my nails already look like it's been done a week ago. I like for my nails to be done from the top of the cuticles and not on top of my cuticles.. and no space left in between my cuticles and nails. If that makes sense. In the end, I still tipped each lady properly. I gave the pedicurist 10% & I still gave the manicurist 10% tip even tho she fucked my nails up. read more

Recently moved to the area and needed a new place to get my toes done. I'll definitely be returning. It was $35 for a deluxe gel pedicure. I wish I got the tech's name because the attention to detail and massage were great. read more

Friendly staff, very polite. I've gone already twice and really happy. Pricing is fair and it's just very nice to be able to have good prices and good customer service. read more

Wasn't sure of going to this place but glad I went. Highly recommend it and will definitely going back! Affordable and they look amazing! read more

Tina's Nail Design - Gel fill - Nail Salons Near Me - San Pablo, California

Never again. I was literally there for 3 hours getting my nails done and they did a horrible fucking job . Don't trust the other reviews. I honestly feel played. The ladies who work there probably wrote all the good reviews. I took a chance and I'm so mad that I paid because I shouldn't have. I told her over and over I didn't like it and she didn't seem to understand. The left hand looked fine but the right had she had them alll different shapes and crooked. I left that nail shop looking DUSTY. All I'm saying is GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. Don't waste your money and don't waste your time at this gross place read more

Tina's Nail Design - Never again. This place is horrible - Nail Salons Near Me - San Pablo, California

Excellent service. Great value. I've never had anyone actually get most of the dead skin off my feet, but the woman working on me didn't stop until she removed the worst of all my callouses. Will definitely be back to keep my feet healthy. read more

I had bad experience with their customer service. I called them to set an appointment for my nails and this was literally the conversation Me: hi i would like to set an appointment Her: ok Me: Do you have time for 12:00? Her: mm No. Me: Soo? What times do you have available today? Her: Not today. Click. read more

I've been going to this place for 16 years Evryone is amazing, they know nails, they always aknowledge my hubby and family, they are the best. Pedicure and manicure are well done! Acrylic always look amazing! Love this place! read more

So it was my very first time going to Tina's and I really hoped for the best. I went in for a full set and the person who did my nails was an older woman and she was doing fine until that machine came and it was just terrible. She started to use is to file my nails but then she began to just go to my cuticles. It hurt really bad the first time but I thought it was an accident but then she did it again and again. At the end she painted my nails not so well but my cuticles hurt really bad. read more

I love this place because they offer a gel mani/pedi combo and nail shops rarely offer it. I always go to Judy because she's detail oriented and takes her time even if it's the end of the day and I'm her last client. The only thing is she's always booked so I have to make an appointment a couple days ahead. read more

Beautiful nails and great service. I have been a customer for many years. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Everyone is great and super nice! Prices are low and my nails come out perfect every time. Tina listened and delivered exactly how I wanted my nails. The girl in the front was also very friendly! She was so sweet painting the little girls' nails while their moms get their manicures done. read more

Tina's Nail Design - Thanks Tina! - Nail Salons Near Me - San Pablo, California

I RAREly get my nails done though when I do I would like for them to last long and look great My lady was very patient, and detailed! She filled in the acrylic to make she that it was perfect and did not give attitude when I asked her to fill in spots that saw needed a cleaner application Overall there's the accepted sassy tone but time is money and for a $23 matte black acrylic full set The job was exceptional read more

Called in around two on a Sunday for an appointment at 3:30. They said sure come in. Met with Ana and she did a great job. I was out in 43 minutes. Will definitely be coming back. It help the place is within walking distance for me. read more

Service was nice and friendly. Tina, who has been there for 25 years,worked on my shellac manicure and spa pedicure. I called an hour ahead for an appointment and I didn't have to wait. There was a queue as I was leaving. The location is very simple and not your fancy spa-ish salon, no free coffee or water or nature music - just plain great getting your nails done and chatting with the person doing it. It was hot because it was 90 degrees in San Pablo which only happens 2 to 3 days a year - but that wouldn't keep me from going back. I think their mani-pedi is really reasonable! read more

Terrible job. It has already happened once, i thought it was my fault but now i see it's not because it happened again. Terrible customer service as well, very rude. read more

Tina's Nail Design - Got my nails done 3 days ago and they already started to chip. TERRIBLE place. - Nail Salons Near Me - San Pablo, California

I've gone to Ana twice and I absolutely love her! The first time was somewhere in December last year and then my second time was today. She was great the first time and even greater today. She's nice and takes her time. I haven't gotten a mani-pedi in soooo long and it feels nice to have finally gotten one. Thank you for my beautiful toes and fingers!! read more

pretty bad paint job-she painted over most of my cuticles. Gel is already starting peel just one week later.

I've been going here for more the 20yrs ! I love these lady's here Tina always does exactly what I ask !

What a pleasant surprise this shop was! It's not fancy or glamorous, but wow they do great nails! It was recommended by my neice and her friend and I'm so glad I took their advice! I've been seeing Judy since I started coming, and I've been very happy with my acrylic nails. FYI, she does a great pedi as well! And very reasonably priced! My only complaint is that they're very limited in the designs they can do, otherwise I would have given them 5 stars. But overall, this shop is the best kept secret in San Pablo, in my opinion! read more

--- updated review --- They moved a few doors down and man it makes a difference. So much so that I increased to 5 stars. You can't beat it for the price. They do a better job than expensive places in the city and for so cheap! The new place is much nicer and cleaner looking. I'm now willing to show friends this hidden gem. ---old review below --- I chose this place for the price. It was $35 for a mani pedi with gel on my nails. The positive: sweet women, great message chair, best scrub and detailing on my feet of any pedicure I've had (and I go to fancy places usually!), amazing color selection - they have a matching polish for every gel, great looking nails when done. The negative: location is kinda sleezy with bars on the Windows, not a pretty place. I wouldn't come here with my girlfriends for a spa day. But this is a solid place to go and read a book while they do a great job for cheap! read more

Just to get it out of the way, let me clarify that I'm not tripping that this place is a hole in the wall, and it's not the cleanest. For a $20 full set you just can't get it all. I care that the tools are clean and i don't get an infection. The woman who did my nails was very nice and didn't pretend like she knew me. She did a great job... until the end. I would have given 5 stars but the polish job was a little sloppy. I didnt get any design. I'd go back - maybe it was just as off day. read more

I came in and asked clearly for white tip acrylic nails the manicurist failed to inform me that they didnt have the white tip nail set and began putting the clear ones instead, she also didnt remove the bright red nail polish that i still had on my nails from a previous manicure so upon completion my nails had red streaks all over them. I was unsatisfied with the service as the nails themselves felt rough in certain places and the white tip wasnt painted on well either and asked for a color change and was informed that i would have to pay extra because the color i chose was gel which is understandable but considering i had to have it changed because they did a bad job i feel that it should have been free read more

I like going to this place mostly because Tina is great, really nice lady and does ur nails and takes her time, ur nails look as if they are too real to urs, not like fake or bumpy like other places, I recommend her she is just great. Always going back to her but call to make an appointment other than that great read more

Every time I have came, I was always helped fast the workers are very nice. Today I arrived at 10am which is the time they "open". By the time I got there, no one was there and they didn't open until 10:10am I believe. I was quickly put to a pedicure station and waited for someone to help me. Instead of helping me, they decided to help a lady who arrived about 15 minutes after I did. I was told someone was on their way to help me, but after 20 minutes of waiting no one arrived and I was still waiting. Hoping they get more professional. read more

I was here a few weeks ago worst nails ever in my entire life super thick nothing I asked for my sister got her nails done with me it was clear coat only tip color she fail to removed the original nail polish proceed to do a full set on top of the old nail polish horrible and I got charge extra when I told them what shitty job they had done we wanted color polish on top to cover their mistakes end up paying $80 plus tips on a very shitty job never ever again read more

I had Diana and she took her time doing my pedicure which I highly appreciated. She was great and paid attention to every little detail to make sure my nails were perfect. Tina did my moms manicure and my mom loved her service as well. This was our first time here and we will most definitely be back!!! This is definitely a hidden gem. read more

I love this place. It's located at El Portal directly across from Weinerschnitzel. I started going there with my mom when I was 13 and then when I was able to afford my own mani/pedis, I started going there myself. They are always warm and friendly and always ask me how my family is doing. Just like the review below, ask for Leelee or Tina. read more

Gel Pedi by Kim. She put in effort but they're not the best, I prefer less round. She was very sweet though. Oh yeah, they don't use bags for the foot bath. Took 2 hours, 5 min wait time walk in + everyone was busy read more

Gorgeous designs (even though it takes 3 hours). The lady who did my nails was very friendly and talkative which is really nice when you have to sit across someone for hours. I did get my long "Ivy Queen" style where they are like 3 inches long, hah. so they didn't last long & the first nail broke in a week but that was because of the length. Otherwise, they're really good. While I got my nails done my boyfriend got a hair cut, and my cousins ate across the street at wienerschnitzel. AND the best part, is the price! I'm actually due for a fill pretty soon! read more

Prices are ok for some services and staff is sweet! I needed a chip repair and nail change. They do not do great work but the prices are cheap. If you're ever short on cash and are desperate. This is where to go. You get what you pay for. I'm spoiled with my regular manicurist. I pay just a little more for a pedicure and fill but it's worth it. read more

They do a rush job. Lady who was doing my pedicure was barely pying attention and more focused on talking with the other nail lady. Lady who did my nails, just didn't do them throughly. read more

Worst nail shop I've been to ever. 1st they tell me they cant do a design i liked then I had to pick from their limited designs the lady they had do my design....*sighs* made my nails look like a hyperactive preschooler did it and to make matters worse my nail color started cracking they put too much heat on my gel nails they cost me 46 dollars I paid them 23 bucks to screw up my nails and I had to pay another nail shop 23 to fix it.....Terrible read more
