I've gone to Royal Nail Spa a handful of times now and have been meaning to write a review. I…read morewanted to leave an honest review because I've noticed a lot of complaints about pricing. Yes -- this salon is on the more expensive side, and they do charge separately for things like gel polish, reshaping, etc. However, all of those prices are clearly listed on the menu. I feel like a lot of the negative reviews come from people not fully reading or understanding that the manicure/pedicure base price does not include gel, which is an additional cost. Personally, I think the pricing is worth it because you truly get what you pay for here. The technicians are very detail-oriented and really take their time to make sure you leave happy with your nails. I never feel rushed, and the quality has always been consistent for me. I also think communication is key when getting your nails done anywhere. You have to communicate what you're looking for in terms of shape, color, length, etc. I've personally never felt uncomfortable being honest or speaking up if there was something I wanted adjusted, and they've always been willing to make sure I left happy. I typically go to Mimi, Ni, or Bella, and they always do an amazing job. If you're looking for a salon that focuses on quality and attention to detail, I definitely recommend giving Royal Nail Spa a try.

I moved to Livermore about a year ago and have been coming here for pedicures. My previous…read moreexperiences have been great, and other technicians have always done a good job, which makes this review especially disappointing. Unfortunately, my experience during my most recent visit was not up to the standard I've come to expect. First, the salon advertises a 5% discount for cash payments. However, when paying in cash, I was told they do not provide change and my total was rounded up to the nearest dollar. While the amount was small, it felt misleading and took away from the advertised discount. More importantly, my pedicure service felt rushed with Timmy. I requested a square shape for my toenails, but my big toenail was cut crooked. I didn't notice until after the service was completed. The polish application was also uneven, and my pinky toenail was only partially painted, with a noticeable portion left uncovered. Because I've had positive experiences here in the past, I'm disappointed to be writing this review. I understand that everyone can have an off day, but the quality of this service did not reflect the level of care I've previously received. I'm not sure if I'll be returning.

Side note: I have really bad neuropathy in my hands and feet, so when getting my nails done there is more than a 50% chance it'll be painful or uncomfortable. This is the first nail salon that has consistently taken care of me without pain.

I am a stay at home mom, I don't do a lot of nail-labor work! I also felt like I would be in trouble if I was unhappy or if there was a flaw in my nails. One day I decided to try Belle La Vie for builder gel nails - and after reading reviews found Ann. She is amazing! Besides making my nails look awesome - EVERY TIME - she is very sweet and works to create any design I bring. On top of that, my nails never break or chip - after 3 weeks the only thing you see is growth. I couldn't recommend her more!

For the services; I did builder gel with tips as I'm the girlie that works in customer services and can't have the beautiful art work + a #4 coconut pedicure Bear in mind I usually let my services be left in the hands of the technician working with me.
