    Vena nail salon
    Tracy R.

    I've now been coming to this nail salon regularly for a year. I'm a complainer and I have yet to find anything to complain about. Super professional, it's clean, the people are lovely, they have a good selection of colors... It's really a top notch salon. I often bring my daughter with me and they always find a way to squeeze us both in. Appointments are definitely recommended, but you don't always need them. I often call same day and they usually find a way to get me in. It is a little pricey.

    Awful

    I never leave bad reviews but I'm not impressed by the place at all. They charged me $75 for nails that are poorly shaped and they didn't even paint them evenly or to the cuticle. Insane. All I wanted was a fill (I pay like $45 for a fill at my previous nail salon in Castro valley). The nail tech here told me that I have "gel builder" on my nails so she had to do them a certain way. Makes no sense, bc I def never had that on my nails before. She screwed up the color twice and I voiced my concerns and she seemed annoyed with me. Honestly it looks like my 6 year old niece painted my nails and the shape is awful. I will never go back here sorry. With tip I paid $90 bucks. Look at the photos they are AWFUL. Bulky, uneven, and shaped terribly.

    Exactly what I wanted! Super talented & friendly staff and amazing attention to detail.

    Wow wow Vena Nail Salon knows how to make a good first impression! I had been hearing from locals that Vena Nail Salon is top notch and deserving of repeat business. I had to find out for my own if this nail salon could be a new fave of mines on the island. Upon walking in I was immediately greeted by multiple nail techs. The space was bright, airy, organized and clean. It was busy but there was an open seat for a pedicure. Yay! I chose my color, a beautiful aqua blue gel color from Chaun Legend's ‼ line of gel polish--surprised they had these! Pricing for pedicure options was comparable for the area, starting at $50 for a basic gel pedicure that includes a hot stone massage. The nail tech was gentle, and attentive, offering me water or tea and making sure I was comfortable at all times. She worked quick but quality didn't suffer and slowed it down for the hot stone massage part. In less than an hour my pedicure was finished! I totally see why Vena Nail Salon has such a good reputation for its quality work and charming space. I will so come back and will even plan on buying gift cards for family and friends. Definitely one of my new favorite nail salons in Alameda!

    Im so happy I found this gem of a nail salon. This place is truly great- and after having had my nails done every 2-3 weeks over the last 6 months ish, I have nothing but positive things to say. Mindy has been taking so good care of me - and my nails are always perfect. Mindy is gentle and kind and a perfectionist herself- and always up for whatever I ask;) thanks to Mindy and her staff!

    Been coming here forever. Staff makes you feel at home. Latest set was perfect. If you're thinking of trying them, go--they're worth it.

Keep thick and full and said this multiple times before and even during the service twice and she gives me the mirror after she's done and I'm horrified. I was like okay so I need a discount or free charge and she was like okay you have to come back Feb 6 and ask the manager and I was like 0% of that makes sense. Who said that day works for me, how would the manager know if she wasn't informed by u guys....and why would I need my eyebrows done aGAIN now that I have to wait MONTHS to get these suckers to grow back in again like literally do not trust these people. So ridiculous

    Just moved to the area and had a great first experience here! Comparative to Daly City/SF where…read morethreading is $18+, IBrow is $15 for just eyebrows. I think they have a 3% fee if paying by card like most small businesses. I got lucky with walking in on a Saturday but the waiting area seats quickly filled up during my service. This was the best/most painless experience I've had in a while and I really appreciated that they were patient when I asked for small corrections afterwards. They ask if you'd like aloe vera and they also do a tiny light massage on the brows afterwards. Highly recommend! They'll ask if you want a punch card and the 6th (or 7th) visit will be free :)

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. There is a code you need to get into the building that they gave me prior to coming in. I showed them my inspo pic and they got the color and everything right. 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!
