The power of the pen is powerful and if I could give zero stars I would. I’m an out of towner and service member and I wanted to get my nails done (dip powder). I got there 20mins after open time and there were only 2 techs and two clients. I walked in and was never greeted just stared at. I waited for a welcome or response because what you’re not going to do is intimidate me. Eventually she spoke and was very rude. I can tell she did not want to service me already. One of the techs explained to me that they don’t do dip powder when their website listed that they do it and the powders were in front my face so I challenged her racism. I told her the powders are right there to which she responded that they don’t do the dip but that it’s colored powder for acrylic and that’s what they do so I proceeded to tell her then I’ll take that service. She then proceeded to ask me if I had an appointment to which I responded no and then said they’re busy. No, that’s not an appropriate response for paying customers of any race. What I didn’t want to do is become the stereotype of the angry black woman. I walked out. I will be reporting this business to BBB to investigate their indigent practices and blatant racism and I will further inform my military installation of this incidence as well as a no go facility. This business need not exist if they are going to treat African Americans this way. Maybe if I had shown up with my lambo and Gucci outfit, I would of at least gotten grudging services and yes that’s an Asian stereotype of being gold diggers. The owner responded to another similar post to mine apologizing and no what you need to do is fire that woman. She is a direct reflection of you and I see nothing has changed because clearly she still feels embolden to do this.

The positives: Overall they did a good job. My nails looked nice - neat, with an even paint job, very professional looking.The negatives: It was quite pricey - $70 to remove gel extensions + reg gel manicure + tip ?. She also cut a bit of my hyponychium (skin between the finger and the nail) which was super uncomfortable - which lasted for a few days. I wanted round (I wasn’t asked which shape I preferred) but after I was given square and after my finger was nicked I decided to go with it and not mess with her flow.They prob do a great job for people getting gel on natural nails.

If I could give 0 stars. I would. This has been the worse experience I have ever had at a nail salon. I booked two special pedicures and when I got there was told my friend could only get the pedicure but I had to get regular because there was no time and they were busy. It was 4 people in there and two were finishing up. I honestly felt discriminated due to me being plus size and them not wanting to do it. I told her that I did not understand and to just give me regular polish no gel. The lady then said okay fine I give you special like him and pointed to my friend. Then I knew she had time, just did not want to do mine. This was a horrible and humiliating experience. 10/10 DO NOT recommend.Service: Pedicure

This is my favorite place to get my nails and toes done. They have fair pricing, are clean, and always provide a great service. They work pretty fast too. I got a gel manicure and regular pedicure done in a little under an hour by one person. Definitely call to book an appointment, they do take walk-ins but are usually very busy, for good reason!

So unprofessional as I walked in the 3 women that work there turned to look at me and just mug me so I say hi I have a appt @630 and just sit down it looked like if I was gonna go in there and asked them for money lol Wouldn’t come here again though had my appt @6:30pm didn’t get attended till 6:56 had my feet and only cold water till like 7:15 the pedicure was rush no massage she just put lotion cut my nails still charged me 45$ because I got the gel . I felt bad for the lady because she kept apologizing, not to mention I left from there @7:40pm there not organized at all with the clients . If the owner is reading this do better clients take there hard working money and they deserve to be pampered for what there paying for

I always get a great pedicure here. Clean space, comfy massage chairs, sterilized equipment, and excellent staff. I would have to say that they don’t have the most color options for non-gel polish. I like painting my toenails crazy bright colors, of which they are lacking. I will not go to another nail salon in Alameda though because all my friends on the island agree - this is the best nail salon!

My daughters had a good experience getting their nails done yesterday, however one daughter’s nail tech showed less attention to detail.

Hi ! I’m from France and I moved to Alameda, I was trying so hard to find a good nail artist that could do my nails the french way but she is litteraly the ONE ! It’s a little bit expensive (but maybe it’s just my pov cause I’m not used to the US prices yet). She’s so kind and really delicate with nails and her work is awesome !! I’ll come back for sure Services: Acrylic nails

Visited here recently to have my nails done for my birthday, and was satisfied with the results !This had been my first time getting an ombré style on acrylics, along with a specific style/design I wanted. She did it exactly how I visioned it ! ✨The nail tech took her time to ensure each nail was even, looked great, and made sure I was comfortable.I’d definitely return here with a friend. ?

I had come in while they were busy so I made an appointment for later and they gave me a call when they were free if I wanted to come in earlier to the Appt I made. It was close to closing time but I liked that they didn't try to rush.
