The Nail Shop - Alameda (CA)

Anna Stancu My gel nails always last 6+ weeks here, the staff is so wonderfully kind and detail-oriented, the color selection is wide, and the pricing is reasonable. Anytime I go to another salon because I’m out of town I am reminded why this place is the only one I should ever go to! They give you a shoulder and neck massage with the manicure, and a leg massage with the pedicure. The salon is are clean and the staff are thorough, I’ve gone dozens of times over 3 years and never been disappointed by my experience or the quality of my nails.

Stella I. Ms Kim did such an amazing job! Got a pedicure and manicure(with my own design), and both lasted more than a month! Will definitely be back!

Domilyn Mitchell I found this place by accident while in the neighborhood visiting a friend and is now my #1 choice for anything nail related. They have everything you could possibly need - nail Dremel bits, great selection of dip powders/gel polishes and sculpted nails supplies. The sales woman that helped me was charming and extremely helpful. The location is in the middle of what some might consider a high-risk area, but hey its Oakland. Its not for everyone. For those of you willing to make the trip just remember to lick your car and make sure that nothings visible from the outside, or better yet??! Leave everything at home that you cant easily carry with you into the store. Simple as that.

Jenny Kerr Every time I go, Im happy I did. This place is hands down (punny!)the best gel nail salon Ive ever been to. Staff is wonderful. I also appreciate their music choices.

stefanie kalem This was my first gel art manicure and it was delightful. Vanessa worked with me in advance to develop the design idea and then, through truly artistic trial-and-error, made some uniquely beautiful come to life on my short nails. They are like little paintings and I adore them!

shauntae brown I love it here! I see Kevin, who does a great job on my nails, and Tee does my feet; she also does a great job. I had had a few times when the color did not set well, or I was not satisfied with the shape; I went back, and they took good care of me by fixing it and not arguing with me. It has a great atmosphere and friendly people. I can make an appointment immediately; they do their best to get me in. Shauntae
