Tulip Nails

Do they do dip nails?

I'm not sure but I do know they do Aprés nails

Do they offer gelx?

I saw a sign above one of the nail tech's desk that says yes. I recommend calling and making sure the specialist is there before coming in.

No answers yet. Be the first to answer.

Does anyone know if they are opened now?

Do they offer dip power nails?

Yes, they do! I don't know the pricing as I didn't get it done myself, but another customer requested it while I was there. I'm sure you could call to inquire about pricing.

Does anyone know if they do holographic nails and how much for holographic acrylic nails?? Thank you so much

I got my chrome nails done for $50.00 using my real nails. They don't do gel, but will use the UV light to dry your nails faster- so don't forget to put on sunscreen!

The shop doesn't have a street-level storefront so you have to use a code to get into the building/upstairs. Really clean and aesthetic space with limited number of stations. I think there were only four pedicure stations and five nail stations in total. I really like the selection of colors and styles but just wanted to do a simple regular pedicure and gel manicure for this visit. My only question was pricing. It's not clear how much each service is and I didn't see a pricing list in store. There's a 10% discount for first-time visitors but somehow I still paid the same as another customer who got a gel mani/pedi when I only did a gel mani. I didn't bother questioning the beauty technician because she did a really good job and gave me the 10% discount. Would go back again (and just pay more attention to the pricing)!

This location is in the old bank of America with lots of other suites. There is a paid parking lot next door or you can find street metered parking.

They were very detailed with my nails & my pedicure. The nail salon is cute itself & I love how they play music. I will definitely be back for my next fill!

I was hopeful to try this salon as it had fairly decent reviews and photos looked good. I've been…read morelooking for a nail salon in Alameda since my previous salon is a bit too far. However my experience was less than ideal. I went in wanting dip as I was reading it was stronger and I've been struggling with lifting off builder gel. Multiple staff kept talking out of it and that their builder gel lasts a long time, uncomfortable but hopeful I said okay since Builder Gel is better for your nails in the long run. I got one color, builder gel on natural nails, and just a simple shape. Nothing too complicated I haven't gotten elsewhere before. I went home and thought it was fine for the money, $45 for builder gel + $8 tip. Probably wasn't going to return but also wasn't going to write a review. However, after 1 day my pointer finger nail chipped and started lifting and my middle finger also started lifting. I called and they said to come in and they would fix it. I went in and sat for 30 minutes until someone saw me -- had 3 different people come look my nails in the meantime but never start prep process, etc. After 30 minutes I was taken to a different station and she took maybe 15 minutes to "fix" the issue. Upon leaving and having a time to look better at my nails I still left unsatisfied. I chose not to go back a third time as I don't feel confident they will be able to actually do my nails well. I gave 2 stars as they did offer and attempt to fix my nails and didn't charge me for the "fix." I would be cautious going here as it seems your experience may vary...

I will never be giving my business to this salon. From this phone call, I can only imagine how chaotically the staff operates and how rushed they might be while doing your nails. They just lost a local customer who would've come here regularly.

I stumbled upon Vena's late at night scrolling through Yelp and couldn't be happier! The establishment is clean, the service was amazing, and I'd definitely come back again. I got a basic gel pedicure which was $50. I had grown out gel polish from about 3 months ago that they carefully removed. They even noted that the color I liked was sheer and recommended mixing 2 shades to make the color pop more. Other places would not provide their suggestion. The lady doing my pedicure was careful and kind. It took about 1 hour in total after finishing the gel and doing a massage/lotion with hot stone. I did not expect to be so pampered! I do highly recommend an appointment because they are BUSY! I had my pedicure on a Sunday and while they do take walk-ins, the salon was quite packed with existing appointments. They were honest with the long wait time with folks walking in which I appreciated as other places make you sit without real notice of when they can receive you. I can't wait to come back again and maybe try a manicure next time.

The reason for 3 stars is solely dependent on the amount of time, and how much the services costed, a minor service issue as well, not terrible though. This is my first time here, i was taking a stroll on park and saw this place and peaked in and saw how luxurious and clean it looked, very big open space, lots of massage chairs, so i decided to pop and see for myself. So i stroll in around 4:30pm, for a new set and gel pedi. Typically both services take me at most 2 hours. I get sat down to remove my current acrylic set, this probably took at least 30-45 minutes. From the filing, to the soaking, removal, soaking again, and removal again. This is the longest I've ever experienced a removal. Then comes the cutting and shaping of my natural nails to prep for my new set. Finally i get moved to a massage chair to start my pedicure. I opted for the deluxe so this comes with a variety of things, from what i can remember, at least 2 masks, scrub, 10 minute massage, and hot rocks after. The total for this was $70, which is way more than what i would've normally paid at different locations, but I'm not knocking it, just isn't in my range but can be for someone else. Quality isn't great, but isn't bad. This is where my service issue/frustration comes in. My pedicure took almost 45 mins, and finally someone comes to start my set, or so i thought. She kept moving around, from one person to another, helping another client in between, but there are 3 other workers. I then get moved to a table, and I'm waiting again for about 10 minutes. She sits back down with me, and i thought okay great we're starting forreal now. Nope, we weren't. There was another client waiting, and she stops what she's doing with me, the gentlemen comes over and she moves to help the other client and he's now my nail tech. It is now 6:38pm and we're finally starting my set. Precise time because i was texting my bf to let him know bc this process was just taking so long. And i kid you not, the process from putting on the gel x nails, to shaping, filing, etc etc, i didn't walk out of there until 8:12pm. I did a very basic paint with cat eye polish. Typically 2 layers of paint, but he painted at least 5 layers before starting the cat eye magnetic process... In total i paid $168, and tipped $20. The amount of time spent there and the cost of it all, and being moved around from one person to another, ultimately costed the 2 stars. But again, this is just my experience i am sharing, and not to deter your decision to visit, because the quality of work is there.

After a break of over one year since my last visit here, I am impressed with how this place has…read moregotten even better and they were already pretty good and one of my favorite Nail Salons in Alameda. First of all, the service is ALWAYS friendly and they do a great job of acknowledging business that walks in and ensuring waiting clients are comfortable; offering water or tea upon entering and providing a spacious, clean and comfortable waiting area. Also, this salon has to be the CLEANEST and most organized nail salon on the island. With recent decor upgrades, it's an even more beautiful and relaxing space. I can appreciate a staff who pays attention to details other than the work they do on nails. Especially with nail service prices climbin in general, it's nice that the salon puts a huge effort for the space to feel luxe and comfortable. Anyway, I came in with bare nails that needed help after 2 months of Gel X sets and fills. I opted for hard gel over my natural (itty bitty) nails to add strength and durability while I grow my natural nails out. For anyone curious, it's very similar to acrylic over natural nails or nail tips but the material is gel based (I think polygel?) The nail tech was kind, patient and thorough. After about an hour of work, my nails looked revived and despite the short length of my natural nails, they still looked bomb and cute. A little sparkly top coat on top of the milky pink hard gel and my manicure was done. I can't wait for my fill appointment when my nails are a bit longer and can start to be shaped out to the medium-short almond length I'm aiming for.

This is truly one of the worst gel x experience ever and I've been getting my nails done for over…read more20 years now. I grew my nails out so I can get a gel builder set. I broke one nail the night before and asked for a gel x one to replace the broken nail. My hope was to maintain the length that I worked hard to grow. The technician chose a nail that didn't fit my finger at all. Proceeded to awkwardly place the nail and glued/cured it down. Not only is it lifted and separated, it's misaligned. I can literally fit a metal file between the real nail and the pressed on one. When I brought this up, she proceeded to tell me that my nail is crooked and that's the reason for the gap.. *cue angelah Johnson's skit* I asked her to take it off and to try an acrylic nail instead since she didn't seem to keen on gel x. She refused and instead filed the sides more to 'fix it'. Bottom line is this, there's really only one token person who does all the different services well. Everyone else either seems to be fillers for simple manicure and pedicures. I'm tired of spending my hard earned money on techs that don't know how to do something you ask but attempts anyway and will not take accountability for when they mess up. This is not a nail school and the prices don't reflect it either. I now have to pay someone else, somewhere else to fix the one nail after spending $90 here. Let this be a PSA: We work too hard to earn our money for these life luxuries. Don't let shops like this make you feel like you're the problem when you bring up their wrong doing. You deserve to get what you pay for. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST.

So to give them benefit of the doubt and called them this morning at 9:30 to make an appointment with the girl that had done my nails previously and specifically asked for her at 11:45.
