The pedicure seats seem very new and the massage features worked well. The pedicure was okay - they use liners which helps with hygiene. The cleaning of the nail bed was okay but just not as thorough as my normal place in Oakland. The manicure was done pretty quickly and she fixed my banged up nails without any hesitation which was nice. Overall a solid choice. Mani pedi regular polish was $55.

Out of all the reviews you'll read here, I'm probably her longest-standing client, and for good reason. I've followed Ashley for years because she's nothing short of a skin-care superhero. From day one, she's been kind, incredibly professional, and always takes the time to educate me on what to expect--no surprises, just results. Over the years, I've tried other techs out of convenience or curiosity, but I always found myself running back to Ashley to fix what they missed (or messed up). And not once has she made me feel bad about it--just warm, welcoming, and ready to help. Now here's the kicker--I'm in my 50s, but I routinely get mistaken for someone in their 30s. That's not luck. That's Ashley's magic. Ashley, THANK YOU for being so thoughtful, so skilled, and for always making me look and feel my absolute best. You've got a fan for life.

I have been going to Unique Nails since they opened. I have never had a problem with my nails and have had every technician do both my nails and pedicures. As a former manicures, I love their attention to sanitation and cleanliness. They are friendly and truly care about their clients. I highly recommend any technician. The nail art is wonderful too! They also do waxing, which I also recommend, and eyelash extensions, which I haven't. Love them! read more

I've been going here regularly for nearly two years, and they are always awesome! Hannah is my regular, and Lisa has done my nails when Hannah was gone; both are excellent. Their shop is kept extremely clean. Yes, they run late frequently, but they really are worth the wait; even if it is sometimes annoying. Good prices with high quality work and close to my home. Evening appointments help tremendously because I work so far away. read more

My daughter and I visited for pedicures and two manicures. They tried to upsale nonstop multiple times even after I politely said no thank you. They clearly became irritated when we said no to more expensive services. Our pedicures were extremely rushed, I paid for the $50 deluxe spa pedicure, and it was rushed, she did not even clean my toenails nor did she take the time to file and buff them. I now have a little cut or area of concern on one of my little toes after leaving there. I also got a full set and the qualities/job done was horrible. I had to come home and clean it up myself because the lady working on them was clearly irritated that I was asking politely for her to touch it up. I was also unaware that gel was $15 more.. I understand prices are increasing everywhere, but I wish I was aware of that extent of increase and if the job was actually done well. Very disappointing. Rushed and extremely bad quality/job done.

I have been torn about writing this review for several weeks. I had my hair cut by Alyssa, after…read morehearing great things about her. She was very sweet and personable, listened closely to what I wanted, and was cautious in her approach. I just think she either did not have experience working with the type of precise bob I wanted, or maybe didn't have experience working with my hair type (thick coarse Japanese hair). The first round, the cut was longer than I had asked for, which I totally appreciate her erring on the side of caution, especially with a new cut and new client. When I mentioned the length, she had no problem going back to take it up some. Then, I noticed one side of the cut was substantially longer than the other side. I mentioned this as well, and she did her best to fix it. At this point, I realized she probably just didn't have the skill to do what I wanted, so I cut my losses and called it a day. She didn't use any product to style and didn't seem like she was used to using a flat iron. My hair is still pretty uneven in several places (and not like in a cute, funky way. Like the way when your mom takes you out to the garage for a "trim" to save money) It wasn't thinned out so it doesn't lay right. I ended up making an appointment with my old stylist in Sacramento to fix it, and I am counting the days until then. I feel bad leaving a negative review, but I also don't want someone else to end up in my shoes. It seems like she would be great for color jobs, or basic trims/shaping on long hair. Because I have hair that can be hard for less-skilled stylists, and definitely had a less than desirable first experience, I won't go back.

How very disappointing. I made an appointment a week in advance and when I arrived the door was…read morelocked and nobody home. I waited 15 minutes and called but the voicemail was full.
