Top Reviews about 16 Nail Salons in Concord, CA (Part 2)

Mercedes Kemp I have never had my nails done before, so I walked in knowing nothing. I didnt even know what I wanted. Andy was amazing. He laid everything out and taught me what I needed to know to make the right choices, and helped guide me where I drew a blank. He was excellent company and we had lots of great conversations and laughs. In the end, I ended up with gorgeous oval nails that felt incredible, and looked even better. I am so grateful and impressed, and I found out when I got home that they even matched my favorite unicorn mug. When Im ready for my touch up, Ill be going back and trusting Andy to work his magic!

Marilyn Baio I go to nail by andys really love his work Ive been going for many years he does the excellent job very pleasant Very nice atmosphere beautiful salon Andys a wonderful person I will be back again many times and thank you so much.

Shark Lover A little confusing to find it since the sign outside says All Perfect Nail, but I was very happy with the service. Friendly and attentive!

Amanda Ybarra I have been going to Mai (Dimension Nails owner) for 10 years now. And for 5 of those years I would come all the way from Sacramento just to have her do my nails . She’s that great . She knows what I like and what I don’t like . If you give her free range on the design she goes all out for you and her prices are reasonable. Her nail salon is always clean, organized and welcoming to come into . I highly recommend making an appointment in a timely matter for her because her shop does get busy with walks in and such. I wish people could be more understanding and patient with her at times when appointments may take just a bit more time than expected. Some things are completely out of her control . I am so happy to have moved back to the Bay Area , I live in Antioch and gladly make the drive to concord to see her for my monthly full set and pedicure . Thanks Mai for always taking care of my beauty needs this past 10 years !

Kayla Conger Me, my mom and my sister have been going to Mai for YEARS! Even when I moved to AZ, whenever I’d come home, I’d be sure to book an appointment with Mai because my nails would last forever and she always does the best job. If you want nails that last and look amazing, go see Mai!

Galina Moliboga Not sure what you have to do to get 5stars, but my experience is no more than 1. This place was recommended very highly to me. Yesterday went to get my nails done and what a s.... job. Owner asked me if I was happy , I said no (nails looked terrible) All she did was wished me a good day. Do not reccomend this place to anyone. Picture one week later after my nails (gl)were done

Hosnia Hasani I called at 5:15 to see if they could service me for a full set, thinking they closed at 7. It was Sunday & they still serviced me and didn’t make me feel bad about being the last customer! I stopped getting my nails done for a year because of terrible service, but I was happy to be taken care of by MIA & Helen! If Mia is not in charge, she should be!! Thank you thank you, I love my set

Ana I got my nails done at the unit here in Concord on Saturday afternoon. It was the first time, I just asked to remove the gel nail I had and do a normal manicure. Without gel or acrylic, the same day at night the nail polish started to come off. I paid $49,45 for nothing, very disappointed with it.

Bri Harris I got a fill today here and I am happy with the outcome! She shaped my coffin nails perfectly (: She also did my pedicure nicely done! Will be back.

Katherine Mullane went in to get a gel manicure, the polish was applied way to thick and came out lumpy. the women doing my nails also cut my skin when trying to cut my cuticles and i left with my finger gushing blood. after less than a week my nails started lifting and polish peeling off, which pulled up and ruined my natural nails.

Vanessa C Its raining and my kids really wanted to get their nails done. Please dont ask how this comes into their mind. All I know is I needed to find a place that was open at 9:00 in the morning and surprisingly there are not a lot of places open at 9:00 in the morning but this place was and we got there early at 8:55 and they still took us in and this lady patiently trimmed and painted my kids nails with no question or concern. She treated them like VIPs and that they were welcomed and she spoke to them and was just very kind. It was such a good experience that I definitely want to go back to get my own nails done here and I dont even get my nails done. And she only charged me $5!!!!

Tee Breana I will never come back here again. I got my nails done here and they came out really cute! But when I came back to have them removed the lady basically ripped them off. It was extremely painful and she made one of my fingers bleed. She offered to put oil on it and proceeded to grab the clue to try and glue my actual nail back so it wouldn’t bleed anymore. I had to take my hand away and tell her no. I was still charged $15 to go through all of that pain. She didn’t even soak them first, she just cut them down and started ripping them off with a tool.

yaneli balcazar I’ve been going here for over a year now and have always left happy. My acrylics last me a long time even when I worked in a job that required a lot of physical labor. I always get Frenchtips on my acrylics and love them every time. Highly recommend going here.

Jennifer R I love it the salon are clean and the employees are nice….

Monica Abreu Always a good experience...gentle hands....Mai is amazing!!!! Reasonable prices and exceptional customer service. I have been a faithful customer ever since i found this place when i first moved to concord

SeluF Beautifully done Gel manicure. $30bucks. Thorough and well done! I was a few doors down doing laundry and hesitated to come here because of the low ratings but decided to give it a go. I was not at all disappointed. On a Wednesday around 4 ish. I would definitely come here again if I’m in the area. P.s I see now, there were only two people reviewing this before me.

Lanise Woods I hadn’t been to high tech nails in Concord over a year. I went today and got a pedicure and asked for white polish. After the service was completed I asked the cost? She said $50! I was shocked and asked for what? She said for the jell. I never asked for the jell. The technician said that’s what I had the last time. That’s a lie. So she assumed that was what I wanted. Mind you, the last time I was there she didn’t do my pedicure nor did I have the jell. She straight up lied to my face. I will never go back there again! Took advantage of her customer and lost a customer…

anna crowel Dip Fill. I prefer my nails short, but enjoy having a Dip Fill with just a little sparkle. Helen always does a great job

Kristen Hulsey I don’t regularly get my nails done, but I’ve become a repeat customer after discovering Naturally Nails! Jen is so easy to talk to and feels like talking to a good friend. I’m also shocked by how well done her gels are - they last ages and grow out before they ever show signs of peeling! Very reasonable prices too. I’m so glad Jen is around the corner from my new place! ♥️

Geraldine Toth Love love love!!! I have been going here for many years and the owners, sisters Jen and Lynn are amazing, professional and so very nice and pleasant. Very reasonably priced as well. My pedicures last for weeks as do my manicures, gelish. Geri

ComplicatedLADY by Francesca Jennifer was super nice and my nails look great! Price was reasonable and place was clean. Would definitely recommend coming here. Just be aware they only accept cash, no credit/debit cards. Regular Manicure and Pedicure was $30.

Luancaster M. Arantes I highly recommend

Pet Lovers Mobile Pet Grooming Very good

Casey Muffett The lady who does nails in this place is fantastic. I had gotten my nails done 2 times at other bigger salons and they sucked this magic maker took off my old set without killing my nails put a whole new set on and they look fabulous she even did dip powder and it cost me under $60 this place is awesome great price and great nail lady.....

Nancy Henderson I’ve been going to an Andy for about 7 years his place is very clean and sanitary. Andy is very friendly and easy to talk to does exactly what you want done to your nails very happy every time I go in. Recommend calling for an appointment excellent service!!!

Jessica Lyles Great experience!! Andy was very honest & nice, very easy to talk with, very accommodating, etc. My nails were shaped EXACTLY how I asked for them to be. I have found my new nail tech.

Robin Thornburg I have been going to Andy for years and its always a pleasant experience. My nails always look great and Andy is the best. The salon is clean, tools are sanitized, and the price is good. Its highly recommended that you call for an appointment because he is the only person there.

Maria Boukhval First Visit Review: Professional Assessment I recently visited this salon for the first time and would like to share my honest impressions. While I have high standards due to my European hospitality education, I aim to provide a balanced and fair review. The salon benefits from a positive atmosphere largely due to Lilys energy and its convenient location. However, the facility itself is quite small, and although it offers multiple services, the equipment and systems seem outdated given the prices charged. Additionally, the option to pay with cash only is inconvenient for customers. Here is a detailed summary based on a 10-point scale: 1. Quality of Service: 6/10 - Pedicure Deluxe Gel: $75 - The final look of my pedicure was good, and I appreciated Lily’s thoroughness in cleaning the nails. However, she seemed to be in a hurry, which affected the overall experience. I hope the results last at least a month. 2. Cleanliness and Hygiene: 5/10 - The salon appeared clean, but the chairs were old and uncomfortable. Having to use the same chair for both pedicure and manicure was not ideal, especially for someone with high standards in hospitality and comfort. 3. Professionalism of Staff: 8/10 - The staff are skilled, although their English proficiency is limited. The salon has an old-fashioned feel and could benefit from modernization. 4. Range of Services: 7/10 - The salon offers around 10 types of services with additional charges for extras. However, the service menu is poorly presented, printed on white paper and hung on the wall, which detracts from the overall professionalism. 5. Atmosphere: 6/10 - The atmosphere is better than other similar salons as there is less chatter. However, the space is small and shared with a hairdresser, making it rather loud without any music or TV to enhance the environment. 6. Price: 3/10 - The pricing is at or above market level with no special rates, discounts, or incentives for new customers. The deluxe pedicure with gel, including wax, salt water, hot stones, and a massage, costs $75. While this price is reasonable, it is not justified by the salon’s current standards. A manicure gel costs $32, and adding a flower design on one finger per hand costs an additional $10, which is quite expensive. 7. Appointment Availability: 9/10 - I was able to get an appointment for the day and time I wanted by calling the salon directly. However, there is no online booking system or website for reservations. Overall Rating: 6/10 Conclusion: Will I return? Most likely not. I look forward to a time when technological advancements can make salon services more enjoyable and relaxing, while also hoping for a more present and relaxed human interaction in the future.

Katie Krider I wanted some pumpkins for fall this year and Lily took her time to do the cutest pumpkins! She did the green vine and wiped it off multiple times just to make sure it was perfect for me. So nice! Come get fall/ Halloween nails at Lily Nails :)

Chastity Vicencio Thank you Kim for the beautiful gel manicure with a pretty leaf design for Fall! I appreciate how this nail salon provides fingerless gloves during gel manicures, to protect your hands & skin! I called for an appointment around 11:30am on a Tuesday and they were able to take me right away. It started to get busier around 12:15pm during lunch hour. This place is cash only but they also take Zelle. Place is clean and service is friendly.

Araceli Fuentes Great experience! My nails last without peeling off.

Jan Nunes Ive been going to Allstar for a couple years now. Love the place. Reasonably, good work, pleasant people. Oh, and just so you know, a friend and I went late one night and they stayed open until we were done.

Alicia Guevara I’ve come here a number of times, this place is amazing. You walk into a completely different environment the staff is sweet and friendly. It’s not as fast pace as other salons. It actually a very relaxing and wonder experience. The pricing is great, the service is better. I would recommend this salon to anyone. Once you try it, you will see what I mean. 10/10 would recommend.

Alex Kelly Good, quick, affordable pedicures and leg massage. Very happy with the kind staff and good service.

Kate i’ve always had a good experience here, love all the extra pampering before they even get the polish on

Miles Ros “Nubian Sunflower” I asked for shape and for her just to neaten my eyebrows. These are not crescent shaped. I felt like she wasnt really interested in doing my wax. Yeah theyre neat. But theyre not even. And I explained my eyebrows arent thick so you have to get the wax right. I Know I know she said. Looking at these... she didnt know. Then she asked me if they were ok. Wow. If you think theyre ok... yeah we done here. She did good on my lip and chin tho. They all wear masks. There was no wait and parking is free.

Kaky Called same day and Mimi was able to fit me in right away. I asked for Disney themed nails and Mimi did an amazing job. Will definitely be back.

Susan G The "acrylic fill" was done perfectly and the color was applied very professionally! I would have given more stars to this review but my service there was very strange here? I believe only one lady there "Mimi" does acrylic nail fills and color. During this appointment, Mimi was working on my fill then, at one point, she left me to go paint another customers toes. I waited like 10 minutes in chair for her to return. Then she came back to shape my nails and ( after shaping one of my hands) Mimi left me again ( sitting there ) waiting for her to complete my acrylic fill / color. It took longer than 1 hour for her to complete my nail appointment - 1 hour 15 min! Usually 45 minutes @ other local salons. Owner needs to hire additional staff who can do acrylic nail fills, full sets and color in a timely manner - so the customer scheduled nail service isnt interrupted and isnt taking longer than it should normally for an acrylic fill service.

Adriana Tsakoyias The service here is magnificent! The staff is so accommodating, and patient when servicing you! They go the extra mile to take their time, especially when I come in with a new Pinterest design for my nails and they make sure you are pleased with the job. It’s also very clean which is a big plus for me - I love it here and I’ll always keep coming back! The last picture is after 3 weeks, they still look amazing!!

Brittani Atkinson I really hate to write a negative review for any small business. But this was pretty bad so I feel I should let people know of my experience at this nail salon. Starting with the good: The 2 stars were earned because the gel pedicure I got here a week ago was great. It was so great, I decided to book an appointment to get my dip manicure done there too. Big mistake. The woman who did my manicure was careless and rough. She cut 2 of my nail beds and made them bleed. These pictures were taken ONE DAY after I got the manicure and as you can see, one of the nails still has dried blood on it (still hurts, too!) and two of the nails are already chipped. Probably because they were using a gel UV light to try and cure the dip ???!!! which I said something about right away, as my nails were extremely hot in the UV light. Le claimed that thats how they do dip powder manicures there...and that using the UV light makes it last longer......Obviously not. While their prices might be reasonable, there is nothing reasonable about charging the customer full price despite being carelessly injured by one of your nail techs. Needless to say I wont be going back here.

Dishing Oakland Price is good. The ladies are all very nice! I’ve only gotten regular nail polish there but I liked it so far. I look forward to having Le do my nails. She only does acrylic nails. Also, place is clean and they wipe down after each customer (I was paying attention like a hawk!) Addition: $75 for gel toes and fingernail. Seems a little higher than what I usually pay for.

Shelly Demla Le does a really great job, and is very fast. She pays attention to detail and ensures that you like what she is doing, along the way. I think generally nail salon prices, like everything else, have increased, but the prices here seem reasonable in comparison to other salons.

RAMIREZ CARMEN (CARMENCITA) I came in last minute and I was able to get gel manicure and pedicure. They were so gentle and even answered my questions about the gel x difference. The vibes were very monochromatic and glamorous. The lotion the used smelled really good. The playlist had me singing throughout the time I was here. The customer service was on point! They greeted me, the check in process was easy. I highly recommend them.

Jen Florence Paid 70 for this. Did not do my cuticles and the paint job horrible. They offered to have her fix it but I declined. For 70 plus a 1.75 charge for using my card plus tip, just not ok this is the service for that price. On a good note my tech was very nice, but will not be returning

Wednesday Malfaz I’m a big fan of this salon and definitely recommend! I’m new to it but the few times I’ve been here I am already impressed! The pricing is great, artist are able to do all sorts of designs while still receiving a 5 star service. I like how clean the place is, as well as the large polish selection. I specifically recommend Kevin and Phillip they’re really nice and attentive to detail on my nails. Thank you for an amazing service! Another really great nail artist is Natalie she did the Gold designs of my red nail set as well as Ricky he did the red polish and shaping! Amazing service both of them are super nice
