I came here for the first time yesterday. The ladies were very sweet and accommodating to my late appointment. I asked for a cuticle clean up and gel manicure. Lan was my nail tech, and I highly recommend her! She was very attentive and listened to what I wanted for my nails (file only a little, even shape, and one coat of gel for a natural finish). Her technique was also great -- I have no cuts or burns from the cuticle clipper or file.. and my gel is very evenly applied! read more

One of the worst services I ever had, the lady proceeded to file my nails with the machine when I have clearly expressed that my nails were very thin, the polish was awful as you can see in the picture and my many and pedicure was total $96 dollars. Just awful. I feel so regretted that I wasted my time getting my nails done here. read more

Beautiful nails and amazing service. Clean, relaxing and very professional. Highly recommed!

Absolutely horrific experience here. I had to get my powder dipped nails removed for a job and was looking all over Oakland to find a nail salon who would be able to accommodate a walk-in soak off appointment. They were incredibly rude- I forget the name of the lady who did my nails but she ignored me multiple times when I specified I only wanted the powered dip removed and insisted I get my nails painted. After she aggressively shaved my nails down to the bone, my finger nails were thin as paper yall. It's been 2 weeks since I had the nightmare of an experience and my nails are completely damaged. My finger nails have been ripping and are so extremely thin to the point where my index finger has ultimately contracted fungus. I'm extremely dissatisfied with this place and feel as if they need to be under investigation for the absolutely atrocious removal they did. read more

Valley Nails & Spa - my nails are still very painful and fragile. My nail beds were bright red for a week and my index fingers are both still paper thin. - Nail Salons Near Me - Oakland, California

This was the most incredible nail salon experience I've ever had. Though the nail design I asked for was difficult, Lan did them so quickly. When I asked her to add a line, she did it so perfectly as she was so kind the whole time. I will absolutely recommend this spot. read more

I just went here on a whim after work with no reservation but was seated right away. And the nail technicians are all very good and efficient. I would recommend bringing with cash as when you use card, it charges you an extra fee. I can't remember the exact cost, but I got both a gel manicure and pedicure with French tips, using my credit card ~$100 I would come here again if I needed my nails done. They did a fantastic job. read more

I visited this salon for the first time on Sunday. I was seated right away and the technician started working with me within 10 minutes after finishing the other client. She did all right with the filing of my nails and got them into shape. However, my technician cut my cuticle and it bled for most of my visit. My finger still hurts today. I'm not sure about the age or quality of the nail polish because it seemed like it was set, but it clearly was not and the end of my fingernails are thick and not in good shape. It's a pretty uneven paint job overall. it's probably not going to last week. Doesn't even look that great today. read more

I came here for nails and tried their new head spa service. It was amazing very relaxing, professional, and such a great add on to the salon. Definitely worth trying read more

In response to your message: First, you were not present during the initial conversation so how do you know what was said. Your display chart and bottle numbers were mislabeled, and it wasn't until after my feet were completed that I noticed the polish color differed from what was shown on your chart. Instead of offering to remove the incorrect color, your technician chose to polish over it rather than doing the job properly for this $30 polish change, i even had to ask her to remove all of the old polish --which am still looking at as I type this post. As you also stated a "FILL"is $45.00 which is crazy but if that's what you charge then instead of going into a defensive mode take it as constructive criticism from a CUSTOMER . read more

Today I did a walk in. I just ripped off gel polish another shop did and i just wanted a basic manicure just how they would manicure a man's hand. Lyn did my manicure and she's the first person to actually care for the skin under my nails she did excellent job on my cuticles and was very careful. Just that alone makes me want to continue going back. I normally like upscale very luxury nail shops but I'll let her do my manicures anytime. It was very hot inside. It's about 71° today. The no AC was a tad uncomfortable. But shoutout to LYN. Thank you. Also price more affordable than competitors. read more

Service was really good. Pedicure was good and French tip was done really nicely. I do think the drill was a little too rough on my toes hence the 4 stars. Other than that it was great. I'm very picky with my nails especially when it comes to shape. Lan did my full set, she did so good, I will be back! Thanks read more

Nail tech filed my nails so thin and used a chemical without my knowledge to remove gel. Nails were and continue to be raw, sore, and started breaking off because they were so thin. I ended up cutting my nails as short as possible to prevent them breaking more. Nails were super long and healthy before, and will take months to grow back based on how thin and damaged they are. Beware. read more

Lan took great care of me and my neglected feetsies. I chose the Deluxe pedicure with leg mask and was completely unprepared, having come in with skinny/ ankle jeans and no flip flops. Love Nails and Lan provided all things including a color consult and a warm and caring demeanor. Super thorough. Very rejuvenating. I would come back again. Highs: great scrub and massage, clipped and filed my nails to desired length, providing temp flip flops; drying in the massage chair with a fan, Lan's laugh Lows: None. Color: OPI Decked to the Pines (Infinite Shine) read more

I have been coming here for my manicures for over a year now and I cannot say enough good things about this business. I have gotten gel extensions and gel fills here. Lan is my usual nail tech, and she is AMAZING. Not only can I count on my manicure being done quickly, I walk out with a clean and beautiful set every single time. I come with inspo photos from Pinterest, and somehow Lan makes magic happen on my nails and recreates my inspo photos exactly or better. Ever since getting my manicures here, I get so many compliments on my nails from friends to strangers - I rave about this place to anyone who will listen. Everyone at the salon is so sweet, and I always have a lovely experience here. read more

Seemed like they changed to a new management. Lady that did my manicure was mediocre - felt rushed. She did not ensure all my nails were filed to the same length, and her paint job was way below average, with rough edges and unevenness. Had to pop by Valley Nails as a last minute attempt as my go-to The Classic Nail Shop wasn't open due to the long holiday closure. Will not return and highly recommend anyone who are planning to come to Valley Nails to visit Classic Nail shop (few blocks down) instead. read more

I came to this salon as a walk in on a weekend and was seated immediately for a gel manicure. The nail color selections were very nice and varied. The clean up of the cuticle could have been more precise and a bit more neat. Shaping of the nail itself was pretty ok.The service itself was relatively fast and it was nice talking to the tech that was doing my nails. Overall good experience read more

This review is for Lan. She really is great at what she does. She's fast, but so detailed and accurate. I'm sure whatever you want done, she can do it. When it comes to acrylics, she lays them down so well. The closest to natural looking nails that I have gotten done and that's every time she does it. It's truly sooo hard to find a skilled nail tech and she's definitely one of them. read more

The lady that usually do my pedicure moved to this spot which is great for me since its on the way back from work and closer to home.

This will be my regular go to pedicure spa. read more

I've been coming here for a few months. I always have a wonderful time going in, the nail techs are very nice and welcoming. I've loved going to Kayla, she has great attention to detail. Other nail techs have assisted me and have worked on my nails and they've all done a great job. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of the nails and service received. I suggest scheduling an appointment and getting there about 10 mins early, it's more crowded in the mornings (from my experience). Once I find a good nail salon, that's my home and I'm not leaving lmao read more

Since her moving I will continue to follow her where she goes because she has to be the best nails tech I have ever been to the pictures says it all read more
