Nail Salons 12 Reviews in Richmond, CA (Part 2)

Kyla Garrow I’ve come here a few times and they do a great job. I love that there are organic and natural options for services and everyone that has helped me has been so nice and also thorough to make sure I get exactly what I wanted. I brought in a picture of a manicure that I liked for a wedding I was in and they exceeded my expectations with the execution! See photos for how they turned out. I have tried a few different services including gel manicure and the coconut spa pedicure. I love the lotions that they use (made in house!) and will continue to come back for more.

Kiersten Drattell Gwen and Tracy did my mani and pedi and did an amazing job. Helena greeted me with such a welcoming smile I felt at home right away. My nails look awesome and I highly recommend these gals! I was able to get an appointment right away and the shop has easy access. They should be your first call!! Thank you gals! Kiki

Kanjana Naruphai I went here two times. First with Helena, I got a Labo gel color that lasted a very long time. My second time was the same treatment with Tina. The ladies were very friendly and both times were great experiences.

MiChele Starling I used to come to this place many years ago under a different owner and moved out of the area in 2020. I have yet to find a good nail salon in my area so I decided to come back to organic nails and I was not disappointed the technician did a great colorful French manicure. The staff was friendly, and the place was clean. Free of chemical smells. I will be back again.

Love Love Way over priced for a simple set (short acrylic French tip) IT COST ME OVER $75!! I’ve payed wayyy cheaper elsewhere. Tina tends to rush and Tony always does a great job but i equally feel they tend to just throw any price for nails. I’ve been coming here for YEARS now and it’s just becoming ran down. I mostly come for eyebrows and literally have to wait over an hour!! Tony doesn’t do facials or waxing which only leaves Tina. She hardly cares and makes you wait which sucks bcus it only takes 10min for eyebrows ☹️ *sigh* I hate to say it, but I won’t be returning, I’ve given this place chance after chance. Go spend your money where you are valued.

Rivera Lupe “Lupita R” Best nail shop ever been with Tina & Tony for over 20 year and everything I have asked for they have done. I like they dont do appointment and they 100% real.

Bethany Lopez Beautiful nails as always, but except the fact that when I go, certain products they use arent labeled. The women that does my nails is sweet as pie, but recently when I went, I asked the man who works there what products he was using on my nails, as soon as that was said he snapped back at me and said "Thats for me to know and you to not." As soon as that happened I knew I was done, and I plan on never coming back. As a customer I have the right to know what products are going to be used on MY body.

Renee Archuleta Love Tinas Nails. Her and her husband are so friendly. They do great work and they are pretty quick too.

Fabiola Calderon Really wanted to like the shop. Went to get a refill at noon but they hsd a couple customers waiting. I asked Tina what time I should return, she said 2:00pm. I get there right pn time but she just started another customers pedi. I told her I was there for my 2:00. Oh we dont have appts. Liar!

Kumba I The owner is really RUDE. I wouldnt recommend anyone sppending your Dinero/Money there. No CUSTOMER SERVICE -

Ingrid McFarland Do not go here!!! They are super rude. No manners. They dont greet or bother even asking what can we help with. The owner is the main one who disregards the client. The fumes were super strong, and I also asked for a mask, and it was as if I asked for $50... They were hesitant, so I gave the mask back and left. Never again. And I put up with a lot of stuff but this unacceptable. Owner looks like she just works there and is probably ready to retire. Not a happy lady.

Osiris Garcia My girl hooked it up yess very friendly and affordable ...

natalie esparza Lana does beautiful work, followed her from San Pablo years ago, refuse to go to anybody else

Lei Always an amazing experience at Valley nails. Their services are wonderful and you really can get almost any design you can think of. They have so many products to use and their pedicures are detailed. Every tech that I have gotten here is talented and takes the time to make sure everything is perfect. Jennifer and May in particular are 10/10 amazing !!! Would recommend to anybody!

Theresa Jackson Jennifer did a great job. thank you so much for the redo on my nails

Caitlin Gaustad Jennifer gave me the best gel dip manicure I’ve ever had. She took the time to understand what shape and color I wanted, and I truly felt like I received a value service for the price. I’ve been to several nail salons and rarely feel fully satisfied with my nails when I leave. I asked for round, natural nails that are low maintenance enough to grow out a bit. Jennifer helped me pick #9 from Nails By John with a clear base and a “cotton candy” chrome-like top coat. I love how my nails turned out. I’m always annoyed when places don’t cover your full nail so I am happy she was so thorough and painted the full nail bed (you can tell from the video). She’s also super easy to talk to and it made the whole experience really pleasant. I’ve finally found a favorite nail expert to see regularly! Adding another photo to show that Jennifer nailed the color I brought in from Pinterest. She custom mixed dip powders to give me exactly the fall vibe I was going for.

Katia Facio What I asked for and what I got hard gel nails done by Hana. She did an amazing job loved the outcome. Friendly welcoming place. Always do my nails here I just hadn’t took the time to leave a review

Emely Ortega I don’t understand why some people are saying some harsh things. I just went earlier in the day and got a small pedicure and my experience was amazing. We first got greeted and then me and a family member got pedicures and here’s how mine turned out

J L (J) I like it here. The salon is really cute! Its a nice place to relax!

champagne Ellison She was nice but everything was uneven and the gel peeled before I made it to the freeway. Hasnt been a week and they look like they already need a fill

Jackie m This place is clean The ladys there are nice and have good communication. They do face peeling manicure pedicure nice colors jell colors Nice very polite. You have Chace bank, bank of america A Wendys if you are hungry.

Lorna Jean Yabut I have been coming to Lenas Nails for years and Lena is AWESOME! Her and her husband are a great team. He always helps her sweeping up, getting colors, getting towels, etc. The environment is always calm and relaxing. Theyre both friendly and polite, never rude, always asking how Ive been and talking about current events. Lena always uses clean tools and is the BEST when me it comes to an ingrown nail. She has a wide selection of colors, gel or acrylic, as well as hair removal services. She has a menu for all her services with pricing in full view. They always have me feeling relaxed and thoroughly pampered after each visit. I never go anywhere else! I even had Lena do my nails for my wedding thats how awesome I love her services!

Adrian Morris I loooooove Lenas nails. She is always beyond accommodating. She and her husband run the shop by themselves and do an exceptional job. If you want to guanranted that you get the time that works best for you always call ahead and Lena will always do her best to accommodate you. She does a pedicure that is out of this world and is super thorough. My siblings and I only trust her to do our nails and toes. I drive all the way from Marin every two weeks just to see her. Shes the best. Not to mention she had a variety of mood gel colors my favorite!!! Check her out.

Sanilie Foster I was looking up nail shops in the area and came across Lenas Nails. I saw some of the most beautiful nail pictures on Yelp and decided to give it a try. Let me say that I am so very happy and so impressed with her service. My experience at her nail shop was amazing and this is by far the best nail shop that I have ever been to. You can tell that shes very passionate in the work that she does and wants you to love your nails. I would recommend this shop to anyone and Ill definitely be back again.

erick portillo I’ve been coming with Lena since she first open back 2013. I was one of her very first customer and I’ve been a loyal customer ever since. It’s now 2018 and this my treat myself spot for manicure and pedicure , facial to relax deep clean my skin or wax to perfection. She so sweet and nice and really takes care of you. She does not mind my tickleish self on my feet I scream with laughter but once she done I see my feet look like new again.she works by appointment so no waiting game and does the best detail job! I’m such a haooy customer and love how how well she does all services. Makes me feel like family at home. I highly recommend Lena’s nail to everyone! She the best in the Bay Area. I’m always proud to recommend her to all to everyone I know.

Jordan Vilchez Lena gives the best pedicure that Ive ever had. They are always perfect. The attention to detail is consistent. The place is clean and cheerful and I always look forward to the massage chair that is an added benefit to the whole experience of getting my feet and nails taken care of.

Mikeniecesha Hicks I’m not sure who did my nails but she was the only one there. She had to redo my nails twice because they were super crooked. She told me she would fix it don’t worry. At the end I’m like you redid it just for it to be crooked still. She started filling saying she would fix it but they still came out crooked. She said my fingers were crooked. I was charged $60 crooked nails.

Emelda Miles I have been going to Tina since I was 12 years old, I am now 34. She has become family not only because she does the BEST pedicures in town but also because she has a heart of gold. She truly cares about her work and the people she blesses with it ❤❤❤

Olivia Guzman My good sis, Stephani recommended this spot. No frills found here but its still a hidden gem! I showed up without appointment and was treated with kindness, appreciation and respect. They didnt offer my usual (dip, upscale high priced pedicure) but what they did have to offer came with attention to detail and quality service. My favorite part of my acrylic fill in (on my dip nail set WHICH came out flawless) and pedicure service was the pedicure massage and tiger balm oil foot treatment!!!! Im from Richmond but as of recent started going to a nail salon in Oakland BUT I Kims will start to see me much more often. Thank you!

Alizé Alcaraz This is my third time here at Kims nails and although my nails never quite look like my vision they usually werent bad. Today I came in and asked which designs the nail technician could do. After shooting down three that were too hard we landed on this one. The flowers are done really poorly and the below pictures are after she attempted to redo them. The first time all petals were red white and pink due to the colors mixing. I was charged and extra $40 for these designs as well. (Last picture is the inspiration)

Uniqu3ly_Qu33ni3 My nails look HORRIBLE!!! Some are painted completely but some are missing polish in multiple areas. My right thumb is BULKY!!! WASTE OF MONEY!!! I stopped coming here years ago & should’ve NEVER RETURNED!!! My nail tech was booked unfortunately!!! The older lady who did my nails kept asking if I liked them, I kept saying NO!!! She kept using TISSUE to wipe my nails, which was adding fibers so she kept redoing them & this was the outcome!!! Cindy double/triple dips on her wax which is AGAINST THE LAW!!! It’s a review of a woman getting STAPH from here!!! LISTEN TO US & DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! Cindy had the audacity to say my nails look good!!! 2 of Cindy’s clients said my nails were HIDEOUS & DULL!!! I’m on a new spiritual journey that told me to just LEAVE!!! $22 WASTED because Cindy’s DISRESPECT was going to try to bring the DEVIL OUT OF ME!!! DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE!!!

Khalilah Bracey They overcharge for Fill n my nails is short for $40 never again I will go to them

Daveed Silva If youre used to quality and good service you wont like this place. Not really many alternatives tho if youre stuck in the area.

TIFFANY LEWIS I went here and asked them can they do my nails like this she told me they only take cash and they couldn’t do my nails with or without the design they were very rude never again will I go here

Monique Moss They were pleasant, friendly, & had a lot of color options. Prices are reasonable! 10 out of 10

Jaime I came in from work and it was close to closing time. The vibe is great.

Darlene Freeman This was the worse experience Ive ever had at a nail salon! The owner and one of her employees were screaming at each other from moment they opened their door. Subsequently my toes and nails suffered. I will NEVER use that nail salon again. She told me that she had been fined and that was the reason for the argument! they opened theirdoordoor..aother from tthey opened the door. I was their

Mayra Ortega Very good service ❤️❤️❤️

Naomi Espinosa Beautiful work only at Ryan’s Nails & Spa

Brenda Espinosa Absolutely the best place in bay area, but you definitely need an appointment to be attended.

Alleona Ramirez amazing service ! Can’t wait to come back. the shape is exactly how i want it and the color was just right ! 10/10 recc. also highly recommend making an appt !

bella Amaya My tech today had me in at 3:57 and out at 4:20. It was a fill but the service was excellent and I love my nails

Veronica Teran This was my second time here and I got holly both times. The first time she did my toes for me and this time she did a Fill on my full set! Holly was very detailed , patient & attentive. I like how she communicated with me and always made sure I liked something before continuing. We experimented on the type of French tip would look best on my short full set. I appreciated that she took the time to show me different styles to ensure I would be happy with the outcome. Great job holly ! Literally 15 minutes into me having my nails done I went to have breakfast yo the street and received two compliments ! If that’s not a win idk what is: I will definitely be coming back to see holly ! Thank you

Xochitl For today’s appointment I approached Jocelyn with a few ideas and a vision. She listened patiently, asked insightful questions, and offered helpful suggestions. The result? My holiday nail inspiration was fully realized! Thank you, Jocelyn!

Connie Lee I’ve been a loyal customer of Blooming Nail Salon for several years now. While I have a particular technician I prefer, I must say that most of the staff is excellent. One of the things I appreciate most about Blooming Nail Salon is its cleanliness and organization. The salon is always spotless, and the staff takes great pride in maintaining a welcoming and inviting atmosphere. Another thing I love about this salon is its festive theme. The salon always has a different theme that changes based on the season or holidays, which adds a touch of fun and creativity to the experience. The location of Blooming Nail Salon is also convenient. It’s just a short walk from Starbucks and has easy parking, which is a huge plus for me. The owner, Tammy, is a very organized and straightforward businesswoman. I admire her dedication to providing a high-quality service and her commitment to her customers. Overall, I’m very happy with my experience at Blooming Nail Salon and would highly recommend it to anyone.
