I was pleasantly surprised to discover this is one of the few salons I’ve found in the are that does the metallic chrome gel manicures! Every salon in NYC does them but it’s been hard to find here - I am so excited! Staff were super friendly & it’s way more affordable than my fancy NYC salons, so that’s a bonus. It’s a packed little room & it’s not a “high end luxury salon/spa” type ambience, but the friendly, efficient staff & the awesome range of nail polish colors & techniques & the nice little shoulder massage at the end has made me a return customer.

Loved my mani here! They set themselves apart with the massages for both mania and pedis- mani massage is all the way up the arm and into neck and even back. My manis always last over a week and it’s pretty affordable. I’ve come in weekdays before 4 and had no wait at all. Recommend if you need a mani/pedi in this area!

Love this salon! Kim is always so kind and accommodating, is fully vaccinated and books private appointments so you feel safe. She’s also installed plastic dividers to ensure even more protection. The shoulder massages here are life changing. I always tip well because the prices are so reasonable for the pristine job they do. 10/10 recommend.

Kim and her very kind and accommodating staff are the BEST in Oakland!! They do an excellent job with pedicures, manicures, gel polish, acrylic, everything is done right. I've been a client for 21 years and will continue for another 21!
