My family and I have been going here for more than four years now. Kathy is very professional and knowledgeable about long-term nail health. She’s very thoughtful and thorough about her customer’s health and safety, especially since COVID-19. Highly recommend going if you don’t mind getting your nails done by yourself.Note: Nailbar is appointment-only and appointments can be made online.

If you're thinking twice about booking here, don't even think - just book that appointment! Kathy is AMAZING!!! She's really knowledgeable about her work and definitely loves what she does. We spent my whole appt talking about what products and techniques are good/bad for your nails, which I highly appreciated because I don't know much about nail products. Kathy's nail bar is clean and doesn't reek of chemicals. She takes sanitation extremely serious so you don't have to worry about contamination or bacteria! Overall, I'm more than happy with my pedi! After years of dissatisfied nail salon visits, I finally found my go to nail salon. Thank you Kathy!

Highly recommend. She gave a great massage but more importantly she took care of my toes and dealt with the fact that they are thick and curl down into my skin. Very clean, all tools come out of packaging from the autoclave or are a one time use. While I my toes were drying my first pedicure there, I booked my second one because I was so happy with the service.

Kathy is amazing! So friendly and the most important thing is her salon is very clean. It’s just her working at the salon so she books out in advance, but it’s worth it. She does a great job and takes her time.

Amazing one on one attention, appointment only

I moved to Alameda recently and the one thing that drew me into Nailbar was the online appointment system. I appreciate that you can make appointments online because I am all about efficiency! Time is valuable and I was in and out within the hour. Mostly importantly, Kathy did a really great Opi gel manicure for me. I asked for a simple and clean look for my nails for my wedding and Kathy delivered. I am so appreciative of Kathy's undivided attention! Loved my nails! Finally, I am also so relieved of the cleaning process at Nailbar. Everything is sanitized appropriately between clients. In fact, Kathy leaves time between clients to sanitize. This is always a great practice, but particularly during COVID. I would definitely recommend Nailbar for mani/pedi! I'll be heading here in the future!

Kathy is simply the best! Love the ease of making online reservations and how you're pretty much her only client when you make an appointment meaning your have her full& undivided attention. It's freakin' awesome for myself as a mom of two and a very chaotic & stressful job. Back to Kathy - she has plenty of polish to choose from - from regular to gel polish. I never felt rushed at all , unlike most other salons with round n round of clients just coming and going. I even ended up choosing a new color later per Kathy's suggestion since my original choices were not quite what I thought would be. Finally the salon is fully sanitized from nail equipments, the bowls for hands and feet to all the towels are piping hot - you know it's gone thru a thorough cleaning. Kathy even attested to her she always has 15min in between clients so she can clean and sanitized everything. Those words were simply music to my ears since Covid is still around and let's be real - those tools and bowls used in most salons are used for various clients throughout the day n with the typical walk-in salons - I hardly ever seen tools n bowls properly cleaned in between clients. I would not hesitate to recommend Kathy to anyone I know and will definitely plan on returning back for future visits!

Kathy takes great care and pride in her work, and it shows! Her salon is immaculate and very pleasant, and she uses good quality ingredients for exfoliation, massage, and moisturizing. She only works by appointment to be sure that each customer gets her full time and attention - you can make reservations easily with her online system - and it is SO worth planning in advance to have a spa-like experience and a mani or pedi that will really last.

Kathy is fabulous. She runs THE CLEANEST nail salon I have ever been to, hands down. She'll say she's only following state board regulations... which every nail salon is supposed to... but again... I've never been to a cleaner nail salon. To top it off she does a meticulous manicure and pedicure. It's such a treat to go and get your nails done there, I can't recommend Nailbar enough.

It was my first time at Nailbar and Kathy was wonderful! It was my first pedicure in awhile so decided to treat myself to the Lavender Pedicure. Kathy did a thorough job with cleaning and taking care of my feet. The extra time of the massage was much needed! The shop is good size, clean and currently it’s appointment only which is a plus in my book since she sees one customer at a time. I appreciate the quiet time given. She doesn’t have the typical massage chairs found in a nail shop. The chairs are comfy sitting chairs. Definitely will be coming back.

So incredibly happy with how my gel manicure turned out a month after they were done. The safest I've felt getting my nails done during COVID as there is only one customer at a time. Can't wait to go back!
