WILMARY ABREU excellent service 10/10

S B Alondra did a wonderful job on my nails and she stays open until 10pm. I had thick, acrylic nails, I cut them some were broken, she made my hands & nails look beautiful. Shes uses techniques that Ive never seen before in the last 25 years. I will return and send my friends and family.

Alejandra Mejia Beautiful work!Alondra is the best doing nails.

Danovan Cg I recently visited and was thoroughly impressed with the exceptional service and attention to detail, the atmosphere was relaxing, and my nails turned out beautifully. I appreciate the skill and care she put into their work, making it a delightful experience overall. Highly recommend!

Rafael Mejía Valencia Very good service, I get my fingernails and toenails done and they look very pretty. Highly recommended, first time Ive done my nails and I will continue to do so.

Alexandra Arrona I am so happy I found this Nail Studio! Miranda is excellent! She is very professional and knows what great customer service and customer satisfaction are. I have the most beautiful mani and pedi. She provided a great experience. I loved it! Gracias/Thank you, Miranda, for making my hands and feet look beautiful.

brittany James She did a real great job. I love it no complaints here. Very nice and talk back to her customers made me feel very comfortable. My big toe nail was messed up and she brought it back and my nails on my hand were messed up and she brought them back. Very satisfied.

Natalie Nelson Ms. Miranda is simply amazing! I moved here from Philadelphia, and it was tough finding a place that showed that they wanted your business! She was professional, friendly, and took her time when doing my nails! She didnt rush like these other places do! My nails turned out PHENOMENAL! I finally found my new nail person! Cant wait for my next appointment!

Susana Argumedo I love the place, the attention and the perfect work !

Cherryleen Leynes I called Vicky’s Nails just before 6:30pm on a Sunday. And I asked if they can accept a walk-in (they close @ 7p). Lyn said yes. Lyn was super nice and very accommodating (all the staff there that day before closing was actually nice and friendly). I will definitely come back.

Roxy Manning This is my second time coming to Vickys nails. Im a fan! The technician is very thorough, leaving my feet callous free and healthy looking. I had a complicated nail art design. Vicky did a perfect job and gave me exactly what I wanted. On top of that, very transparent and specific pricing with no surprises. I think I finally have found the salon of my dreams.

Mia Williams This is my go-to nail salon. Vicky is amazing and always does a perfect job on my nails. Love it! ❤️

Gentina It was my first time at Vicky’s & I am so impressed. The ladies did a great job on my nails & pedicure. She listened & took time to understand what shape & length I wanted. I can be pretty indecisive but she was very patient with me. Overall, great experience & the technicians know what they’re doing! I’ll be returning!

Ashley Keener I had high hopes for this place since it had good reviews, but want to warn others to CHECK THE PRICE FOR SERVICES PRIOR TO YOUR SERVICE! When we went to pay the lady at the counter gave me a total and no breakdown. I asked her if she could break down the costs for us and she seemed hesitant which made me feel like I was being overcharged. I was already feeling a type of way because I had a bad encounter with my pedicure. She broke it down on a post it note(shown in pic) andseemed hesitant to give me a menu so my fiancé had to go and grab one so I could compare prices. I asked why my fiancés manicure was $50 instead of $45. She said it was because he asked for a longer massage. I sat right next to him and told her he did not so she agreed to “discount” it the $5. Then we went over my full set and I asked why my full set was being charged $75 instead of $65. She told me that it was because my nails were really long. I showed both her and the lady who did my nails that I definitely did not have long nails(photo attached). They then proceeded to tell me that the gel full set is $55 and the ombré is $20 more. I asked why there was an ombré cost for $65 under the gel cost and how that was different than what I got. The lady then proceeded to tell me they just changed their prices but did not change it on the menu yet. So I was given a false reason for the $5 charge for a manicure and THREE different explanations for a $10 overcharge on my full set. It was very shady and I now know I need to always ask for a breakdown when I go anywhere because of the way I was treated here. In regard to the services, my fiancé was happy with his manicure and pedicure. I was also happy with my full set. My pedicure on the other hand I was not pleased with. ESPECIALLY it being an $80 pedicure. I first asked if she could apply acrylic on my big toenail since I previously broke that toe and the nail was messed up. I told her I wanted it to match the other big toe nail. She added so much acrylic and made it so wide on the sides. It was drastically bigger than my other big toe. I asked if she could file it and you could tell she was annoyed. It got to the point where the lady doing my full set had to step in and fix my toe. We ended up doing the other big toe with acrylic since it was so much bigger and it was $10 to do the two acrylic nails. I told her I wanted square nails as long as she could make all my toe nails square. She just made my big toes square and did not file the rest. (See pics of my toes) At this point I was over it and decided I would file my nails and fix it myself because she had such a negative attitude when I was asking her to fix it. All in all, 3 of the 4 services were good. BUT the interaction at the end during payment is reason enough for me to never return. Please at least do your due diligence to make sure you are being charged correctly.

Kam De Leon-Fong Jacy and Ms. Be (Nguyet) did an amazing job tag teaming my nails. I wanted to get a mani and pedi that would last for my wedding ceremony and after. This is my first time getting acrylic extensions, and chose to schedule an appointment with Jacy due to someone recommending her on these reviews. I had originally scheduled my mani and pedi with Jacy, but Ms. Be was available so she helped! I asked for cat eye French nails and wanted my nails a little longer than my nailbed. I chose gel for my pedicure and Ms. Be was also able to do the cat eye design on my toes. Things to know: - Schedule an appointment ahead of time, over the phone is best though they do have online scheduling. - Very spacious and clean facility; they offer you free tea, coffee, or water and have a bathroom onsite. - Updated prices in person on a menu, plus extensive services like waxing and lash extensions. - Bring cash for tipping. You can pay via credit card but there’s a $2 service fee. They also offer Zelle, Venmo, and Cash app options! I am pleasantly surprised with my first appointment, as I am a very introverted person. The whole appointment was relaxing, and I can’t wait to come back. Thank you to the Little Bird Nail Bar team!!! I got so many compliments on the nail work that I had gotten done. Overall I spent $160 (services, tip, and card fee) for everything!

Clarisse Piczon I got both a mani pedi and it was a great experience. My mother and I made an appt prior and was seated promptly with 4 ladies getting straight to work on us! Sara, the sweet woman who did my nails, understood the assignment fr! She did exactly what I asked for in my inspo picture, with a very crisp and thin pink french tip, but made it even better by recommending a little nail design. She constantly checked on me throughout the process if I liked my nails, and was upfront about the prices and add-ons. I highly recommend Sara, as she’s highly skilled, and gorgeous too :) would love to come back. But unfortunately I’m from out of town!

Sara Sparks It was my first time there, and had a great experience. I came in early for my appointment and was seen right away. I got a gel manicure first, and then had my pedicure. The staff was very friendly, and I did not feel rushed at all. I was there for just over an hour, and felt welcome the entire time. Picture is a few days after, and only a small chip on my right thumb so far. Also, I found their pedicure chairs were more comfortable than others Ive had. Make sure to call ahead for an appointment. They were very busy when I called Thursday evening and when I went in Friday evening.

Melly Noriega Great service! Im a floater..Im always on the hunt for new spots. But Ive been coming back to supernails for several years. Steve is amazing. Always does a great job on my nails, shapes, designs, etc. And hes a great conversationalist. The rest of the staff is also very pleasant. There a woman who does eyebrows .. I forgot her name (sorry). But shes bomb at doing eyebrows!

Stevan Dupree I love this place. They take care of me. They get me in and out. Parking is great! And I make appointments when I go!

ed Tallman Steve, Van, Susie excellent service and have been there for almost 30 years. Just had a pedie the wife nail, pedie, eyes. Everything excellent. I need to go back more often. Men should more often.

Brandi Neil I’ve been going to Megan’s Nails for years and I’m always so happy with their services! Ruby is amazing and her staff is great! They always go above and beyond to make sure you are happy with everything. Ruby is very talented and on every occasion she makes sure I’m in love with my nails every time. The salon itself is very clean, welcoming and has many color options. 10/10 I will be back!

scarou julela I recently visited this nail salon for the first time, and I was blown away by the level of service and attention to detail. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the staff and made to feel right at home. The salon itself is clean and well-maintained, with a cozy atmosphere that instantly put me at ease.

Kristina valencia I came here for the first time because I seen the google reviews and they were good. My first impression of the place is it is clean with alot of seating and very welcoming and kind workers. I was greeted and asked what I came in for. I was seated instantly and showed the picture of what I wanted. Helen was my nail tech. She was so nice and recommended me to get gel x because I wanted acrylic me being my old-school self.. I decided to take her advise and Im so happy I did. My nails have never looked this beautiful and feel so light. I will be coming here regularly. Thank you Helen for your kindness and work. I am glad I gave this salon a try.

VIOLA I came to the salon for the first time today to renew my gel nails and I am very happy with the nails that Wendy did for me. Her work is precise and careful. The salon is beautiful, the manager at the reception is very nice. I am glad that I came here today. I will definitely come back next time. I recommend it to every lady who wants to have beautiful nails.Thank you Wendy !

Gricelda Hernandez LMT Ethan, Diana and Mari were amazing. The nail spa is super clean and beautiful every time we visit. We get our hair washed and massaged here, our pedicure and manicure. We love it here, there is plenty of parking space and all kinds of food around the shop is the perfect spot in the city of Hayward even two blocks away from the freeway entrance.

Julie Le I had an amazing experience at this nail shop! I initially had an appointment at another salon at 11, but they were starting on someone else when I arrived. Thankfully, I called this place as a walk-in on Saturday and was seen in just 10 minutes! The aesthetic is beautifully clean and inviting, creating a perfect atmosphere to relax. Jacy was incredibly professional and quick, ensuring my nails looked great in no time. The prices are fantastic for the quality of service provided. I loved every moment of my visit and will definitely be coming back soon. I highly recommend others check it out—you won’t be disappointed!

Hayley Hickson I come here every two weeks to get a new set with Tiffany and every month I get a pedicure with Mei Li! Tiffany is an expert nail artisan and she takes great pride in her work - whatever vision you have, she will do her best to recreate it! She’s a natural artist and can create her own ideas if you feel adventurous! Mei Li gives a great pedicure and you will leave soft and refreshed! Both ladies have a wonderful presence and will make you feel perfectly at home!

Adriana Rodriguez I went in to get my nails done a while ago and the girl who did them said I needed a new set when I asked for a fill. I wanted to know why I needed a new set when I had just gotten a new set the previous time I went. The girl begins to do my fill but starts huffing and puffing when she drills at the previous 3D art. I said ok you know what if you think I need a new set I will take it. The attitude was horrible until that point. She made me feel extremely uncomfortable to even make any requests. These are MY nails. IM PAYING YOU to do them. These are not your nails and this is not your money. If you think my request is stupid or unreasonable thats fine but dont huff and puff like a child over a service youre offering. Thats unprofessional, distasteful, and ghetto. She could have just explained to me (without an attitude) why she couldnt fulfill the service requested. Once my nails were finished I even tipped $15 which people might think Im crazy. But thats about how much I tip for a job well done (the nails came out really good) and this was in exchange for me never going back. I always tip at the very least $10. I will be taking my $10 tips back to Dublin and Oh My Nails in Hayward will never see me again. Next time keep your workers in check. If you see your worker/coworker with an attitude make sure to remind them you are there to provide a service, not lose customers. (The attached photo is not of the actual nails but what I requested)

Kathryn Huber The salon was packed when I arrived, which typically means a positive experience and repeat customers, however, as a walk-in customer with no appointment, I was still seated immediately. All the employees were very pleasant and friendly. The lady who did my nails did an excellent job, she even completely redid one finger because I complained it looked crooked. She went above and beyond to ensure I was satisfied, even though I was being super picky and particular about the shape and length of my nails. I definitely would recommend this salon and will continue to go here in the future. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because it was kinda hot in the salon and also a fly kept buzzing around me and I was so annoyed I almost swatted it myself.

Sanskruti Desai I went to this place and booked an appointment prior to coming! I had to wait an hour even though i had an appointment. I wanted different nail person but they assigned me kim and i thought it will be fine. I wanted dipping powder and she kept insisting doing acrylic gel thing. I had to tell her multiple times and she finally agreed. Even after it was done, i told her i don’t like it and she didn’t change. I had to come back and they fixed it.

Michelle Gonzalez I had pedicure and full set walk I’m done yesterday. Nails looked ok, but I have a photo shoot and an interview on Monday so I noticed they weren’t going to cut it when I got my pedicure. They fixed some things but while at home I just knew something else needed to be done. Called up, and the owner said she’d open up for me on Sunday to fix everything. Not only was she incredibly nice, and apologized, making sure I knew no matter what if I’m not happy to please come back but she delicately fixed all my issues quickly. I’m happy to say this is my fav place and I finally feel comfortable to maintain these beauties. Before and after photos posted. Alisa & Cindy are so nice, and do an amazing job!

Yasmeen Hussain I came here for the first time to just have a pedicure done. The woman who did my pedicure was amazing. I think she goes by Cindy. Disappointed their basic pedicure doesnt include lotion because all pedicures should. What I was more amazed by was a customer who walked in to have her nail fixed from getting a pedicure previously a few days ago. They fixed it free of charge and were even willing to completely redo all her toe nails because she couldnt remember the matching color. Luckily they were able to find the matching color. The woman who came in was very particular and a bit quirky so her personality may come off as being difficult, although she was very polite. Staff was very nice and accommodating to her.

PButta Glasper Ivan did an amazing job , I showed him a picture and he delivered!! His was even better than the photo! Pleased is an understatement I’m very picky and I am so happy I found Ivan!!! The salon is beautiful and clean everyone is friendly and professional

Lilianna Rose Lux nails & spa is my go to !!! I’ve never left that nail salon unsatisfied!! I added some of my favorite sets Ivan’s done ! Definitely recommend him for nails and Lynn for pedicures !! She’s amazing as well ! A very welcoming staff. I love it here!!

Emma Chang July 2022: updated to 5 stars! Rose did an amazing job removing old gel and completing a gel manicure in 45 minutes. She was gently in removing my cuticles and always asked between steps if I was satisfied. This set was $40+tip. You get 5% off if you pay with cash! March 2022: I got a gel manicure for $35 plus a shimmery topper for $5. They are offering 20% off at the moment since they opened recently. They offer chop shop prices in a very luxurious setting. I asked for a nude and black ombre but my tech tried and failed at it, and the other techs didnt seem to know how to do an ombre either. She nicked my flesh when trimming my cuticles and I bled quite a bit so I hope she is more careful with future guests. I have left over gel on my skin that will flake away in the shower, so you really are getting what you paid for. She was pretty quick and finished in about an hour. I think Ill come back and try with a different tech.

Cristal Medina I love this place. Kathy did my nails & she perfected them as you can see. I love how she cleaned out all my cuticles. They have the most beautiful colors to choose & such a clean salon! VERY friendly staff!

Betsy Borruso Diamond Nails is a lovely spa. The ladies are very nice and do my gel nails impeccably, which means a lot to me - I have high standards for my nails and they meet that standard. I highly recommend

Janice Young I have been coming here for many years and it is the same wonderful crew. They all do an excellent job and coming to Diamond nails is always a great experience. I am most thankful for Lisa who is my favorite for those toe nails.

Stephanie L I had a great experience here. The staff were friendly, the place is clean and bright, and my nails came out as desired, which so often isn’t the case these days. Wendy was awesome! Parking is a bit tough, but there’s parking behind Trade Joe’s and the church. I’ll definitely return here!

Sarina Amrute My experience with Diamond Nails has been like most nail places, sometimes it’s great and sometimes it’s subpar. I hadn’t been here in quite a number of years and just went again last weekend. The facility had been updated since my last visit and looked very nice. Parking is a bit rough but still doable since there is a small attached lot. There is street parking nearby if you don’t mind a little walk. My technician was very friendly and did a nice job, I am very pleased with the outcome of my pedicure. The price was reasonable and in line with other nail places.

Kristin Marlowe I went in on Sunday afternoon around 2 PM. I didnt have to wait. I love this place. They always do a fantastic job. They removed the gel on my fingers. Then I got a gel manicure. The service was $20 and you can leave however much you want for tip!

Bree Moore Lisa saved my nails after Top Ten Nails in Hayward messed them up! - white is top ten - French tip is lisa

Truth Taylor Great 1st time experience! Lisa and Vivian were so nice and did an awesome job! My honey and I were both in and out within an hour! The deluxe pedicure... EVERYTHING!!! Thank you so much!

Evangeline Guilalas Finally I found this place and will be “my go to esp my nails”. I’ve been to different nail salon but nothing beats this nail salon! It’s small but they do a really great and awesome job! Very sweet and nice people unlike in Nail Spa Boutique, after I corrected someone she nicked my finger(was painful) and gave me attitude. Shout out to Na and the other lady, job well done!

Daria Nesterova In the first photo, my nails after 4 weeks of wear, I had absolutely no complaints about this salon! Again, as a former nail technician myself, I wanted to know today what could be done to extend the wear, as two of my nails lifted and started to peel after a week. I got tired of doing my nails myself, but the green nails in the photo are my work, after 4 weeks of wear, with one of the cheapest polishes from Amazon. This is real and not difficult to achieve. Today, when I came to consult on what we could do, the technician suggested a more expensive polish, although I know for sure that an expensive polish is not always the key to long-lasting wear. So I wanted to suggest better preparing my nails for the polish, for example, not soaking them in water and applying a bit more nail dehydrator. The technician said something to the owner in her language, and at that moment, I received an inadequate reaction from the owner, saying that if I didnt like something, I could leave. She mentioned theyve been doing nails for 8 years, etc. I said that I had absolutely no complaints and was just trying to discuss what we could do, as I like how neatly they work; their work is much neater than others. But I did not expect such rudeness. She spoke loudly and kept hinting for me to leave, essentially kicking me out without even trying to listen, and then she said not to talk to her but to speak with the technician. For the first time in my life, I left a salon in tears. I was shocked and couldnt calm down for a long time. It seems the owner has gotten a big head. My advice to all salon owners: fall in love not with yourself and your work, but with the clients who pay you money. Despite the good service, the customer service was terrible.

Gentina Getting my nails done here with Dao was just a breath of fresh air. Literally! No strong chemical in the air or no harsh filling/drilling. Dao truly paid attention to the health of my nails and was very kind. I’ll be back for sure.

Vanessa P I visited this place with my sister-in-law to get pedicures, and it was my first time getting one, so I wasnt sure what to expect. The technician worked very quickly, and I felt ignored throughout the process. It seemed like they didnt care about the service they were providing. It felt like all she cared about was getting paid. I strongly advise against coming here. Its a waste of both time and money. I hope they read this and realize theyre not treating their customers with respect.

mxn btc I recently visited for the first time to get Gel nails for a vacation, spending $100.00 on the service. Unfortunately, my nails broke and bent just four days after getting them done. Gel nails are supposed to last a few weeks, and I have never experienced my nails bending before. The selection of colors was limited. When I expressed my dissatisfaction, the salon owner became very aggressive. Overall, I am very disappointed with the quality, as I feel that my $100.00 was wasted.

Rodion N I am extremely disappointed with the service at this salon. My wife has been a loyal customer and even recommended this place to her friend because she was satisfied with the previous visits. However, today, when she politely asked for advice on how to extend the longevity of her manicure, the owner started yelling at her and told her to leave if she wasnt happy. This kind of unprofessional and rude behavior is completely unacceptable. No customer should be treated with such disrespect, especially when they are asking a simple question without any complaints. I would not recommend this salon to anyone. If you value good customer service and respect, avoid this place at all costs.
