I can't say anything about consistency having been here once, but I can say that the lady who did my regular mani did a really good job. She was detail oriented and clean. No pain. The hand massage was nice too.I'm not the type to talk a lot at the salon, so I appreciated that she didn't push questions and just let me be in zen mode.

My pedicure looked great, and the ladies are really nice! Fairly priced too, and they have stamp cards. I would recommend this place and I plan on coming back!

I feel a little bad leaving this review, since the folks who painted my nails were very kind, but potential customers should know: it’s clear that they water down their polish and their technicians aren’t well-trained in painting evenly. The gel on my fingers was gloppy and uneven and regular polish on my toes wore off in two days. My trimmed cuticles were ragged and bled. Color selection also very limited.

Staff was nice, but the gel manicure was so rushed, and resulted in it looking horrible--all of my hangnails are there, paint is all over my fingers, there are bubbles, the color is completely uneven and see through in places, she didn't even ask me if i wanted another coat. This is not acceptable for a $30 gel manicure.

Horrible horrible manicure I have done. No basic skill and artistic sense. Good luck with your business.

I've been coming here for years and always am happy with their quality of work. They are very friendly, the shop is clean, and the place is relaxing, which is more than I can say about a lot of nail salons. I usually get a mani and pedi, and sometimes I get gel and the gel always lasts for about 10 days before signs of wear and I can stretch it to two weeks before coming back in.

Worst pedicure I've had in a while. The staff was friendly but my pedicure was rushed and sloppy. I got here as soon as they opened (at 11) so the place was empty, and my pedicure was done by 11:25. Instantly booked another pedicure at a different place to fix the mess. Won't be back.

I've been a customer of The Nail Spa for nearly 20 years. I started going to their Berkely location and when that closed and they opened the College Ave location I continued going to them. They take cleanliness seriously. The sanitation is the best I've seen. The women are helpful and nice. Kathy, Tanya and Kim make me feel so special. Wonderful massage is included in the nail treatment. They have added clear barriers to give added protection from COVID and everyone is masked. They keep the front door open for added air circulation. If you want a real treat, have the Royal Indulgence with added salt scrub and aromatherapy.

This is my neighborhood nail shop. I keep it simple and typically get a pedicure. They're pedicures are consistently flawless which is one of the reasons I keep coming back. They've also been nice enough to fix my nails whenever I mess them up. I've been to other shops in the neighborhood and this is hands down my favorite.

I made an appointment for 11:30am - I wasn't seen to until 11:50am and no one even spoke to me before they started to give me an ETA. Basically they didn't care that I was waiting. I then asked them not to cut my toenails because usually nail salons cut them too short which causes the nails to become ingrown and I already have small toe nails as it is. She cut the edges of my toenails inwards and now I have an ingrown nail which is very painful. She didn't bother to take out the toe separators or move the perspex rack so when I tried to get out of the chair, I ruined my nail which she didn't touch up properly. You can still see the indent. Overall I am disappointed - I will not come back here again. This place is on the higher end of what a pedicure should cost. I was paying $25 in San Francisco. It should be cheaper than that in Oakland since the commercial rents are lower.

Not happy with my gel manicure. Very clumpy, uneven, and the woman rushed the process. Will not be returning.

I went in to this shop about two days ago for acrylic and gel polish full set. Though the nail tech was friendly, they had very limited polish options and when choosing a color they did have, my nails were painted poorly and the nail tech placed a nail tip crookedly on my index finger. To top it off, the nail color has already chipped on two fingers! I don't do vigorous work so seeing this set fall apart so soon is extremely disappointing.
