Best Nail Salons In Oakland

“Not what I usually pay but my nails have never looked better so basically you get what you pay for and Anna is worth every dollar“

“I think I just had the best (most meticulous) pedicure of my life. Gel removal, green tea/basic pedicure, with intensely focused cuticle prep and careful gel application. I’m so satisfied! Normally I get home and see a bunch of imperfections or feel small hang nails. Not here… Flawless color and clean toes. Thank you!“

“Thank you so much my was was super quick and easy! Rasheeda was so sweet and welcomed me with open arms :)“

“I will never go anywhere else again! This is the spot. Everyone is so friendly, including the owner. You feel like you’re stepping into a healthy community in a clean space. Not to mention the BEST pedicure (I got the deluxe, by Ann, and felt so cared for). They have nice massage chairs that don’t feel like they’re assaulting your back in all the wrong places, which was refreshing. I left feeling completely restored and my toes look perfect! 10/10 💗💗“

“I had an incredible experience at Peony Nail Spa in Berkeley on Telegraph! They offered a super generous gel pedicure giveaway, just in time for Mother’s Day. Everyone was so kind, and the woman who did my nails was not only friendly but also quick and precise—top-notch quality! If I didn’t live so far away this would absolutely be my go-to spot. I can’t recommend them enough!“

“I called for a last minute end of day appointment and was well accommodated. Made a follow up appointment. Fantastic service.“

“I had a hot stone pedicure with French tip, it was the most luxurious and relaxing experience absolutely incredible, service is immaculate. Will definitely return.“

“Cutest set ever. I love the shape and they take their time and gave me such good nails. I love“

“It’s a nice salon with nice ladies. Book in advance for an appointment. They are professional and kind. The area is really cute too! My nails always look beautiful after they are done.“

“Beautiful business, Family own, kind, professional and amazing service. Will definitely be coming back !!! Wow 🤩🤩“

“Service was ok, not many color options or options for anything really. Workers seemed unsure and not like they were really trying to do anything (kept telling me my chosen color wasn't going to look good, then why have it?), but whatever we got came out nice.“

“Used to go to the place across the street, but now the nail shop is my new usual spot. I’m not picky: hard gel and shear nail polish. Nail tasks are nice.“

“Best brow wax around. Perfect. Attention to detail. Jeannie is a true artist. Pedicures are always perfectly done. Exceptionally welcoming and friendly. Super clean!“

“Cleanliness: The shop is immaculate, and the pedicurist and manicurist both wore masks. The services rendered were great. Anna is the owner who did my acrylic with gel nail polish and Dana did my pedicure.“

“I started going to Avalon a few months ago and they do an amazing job every time! They take their time and are very skilled. Everyone is so nice and prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend!!“

“This place is great! I’ve been looking for a good gel manicure in Oakland for awhile now… this was the best by far. My nails look gorgeous. They did really good work with the cuticles, which is so important to me. They also didn’t mind that I had my little girl with me and were very kind and welcoming to her.
Added bonus is that parking is easy and free on the street.“

“Sivatha spent such care and attention to shaping my nails. This was truly the best manicure I’ve ever had. Sivatha was even kind enough to help me find the perfect color. One visit and I’m a converted regular.“

“amazing detail work, probably the best acrylic set/manicure i’ve ever had, no cap“

“Great job, very friendly, responsive, was definitely happy with my gel mani and pedi. Recommend!“

“I love divine nails!! I’ve been coming to this nail shop for over 25 years and they never disappoint with the professional service I receive. I have my favorite techs but everyone is so sweet and friendly. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a nail shop to go to in the Bay Area. Ask for Helen or Lisa“

“Yesterday was my first visit because my usual tech is traveling abroad all month. I saw Angela for builder gel. SHE TIGHTLINED IT Y’ALL. Seriously she got the color right up to the cuticle and it looks so clean and good.
The salon has a great aesthetic, and I loved the lavender mint tea they are serving.“

“All!!!! I receive all services at Le Visage & love the staff!! I feel like I'm a part of the family! Marlene is amazing! I've been a client of hers for years & look forward to my appointment!!!!! A thousand stars for Le Visage!“

“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience for my engagement nails ?✨

From the moment I walked in, they made me feel so special and taken care of. They truly took their time with every single detail. Nothing felt rushed, and you could tell they genuinely cared about making everything perfect. Every shape, every layer, every tiny adjustment was done with so much precision and intention.

What meant the most to me was how thoughtful they were throughout the entire process. They knew this was for such an important moment in my life and treated it that way. It did not feel like just another appointment. It felt like a whole experience.

I left feeling so confident, excited, and honestly a little emotional because my nails turned out exactly how I envisioned, if not better. I will always remember getting my engagement nails done here ?

If you are looking for a place that goes above and beyond and truly cares, this is it.“

“Just got my first gel manicure here and am super happy with it! Alexis is new to the salon and did a fabulous job. I had shown her an inspiration pic and she stopped after applying the the first nail’s polish (that I had chosen), asking if the color was okay because it didn’t quite match the photo i’d shown her. She was so right, stopped to pick the perfect color, and resumed the service without missing a beat. Now I’m walking home taking pics of my nails with every cute flower patch I see!“

“Rosa is the best!!! My nails always look amazing, and last such a long time. Every time I go for a fill it looks like a brand new set!!“
