Best Nail Salons In Walnut Creek

“Wonderful nail salon with the kindest people! Deena made my entire visit so special. I am disabled severe pain conditions and in a wheelchair. She was incredibly sweet, attentive, thoughtful, and compassionate. She truly blessed me with her beautiful heart and did an amazing job on my toenails! She knows exactly what she’s doing and made the experience very comfortable for me. I can’t have my feet rubbed and need cold water, and she carefully worked with me to ensure I was comfortable in every way. The chairs are very comfortable, and the salon is clean and welcoming.

The nail technician who did my nails Jennie also did a fantastic job and was very kind. From the manager who helped me get safely into an Uber in my wheelchair, to the staff who created such a positive and welcoming atmosphere, every part of my visit was excellent. Also loved the relaxing hand massage by Deena.

These are now my natural nails and I highly recommend Smiley Nails and will definitely be coming back. This salon has earned a permanent spot as my go-to nail salon!

2nd visit...
Andy did my nails (dark red) photo and Jennie toes and did amazing for 2nd visit! Thank you Andy for helping me when I fell and into the uber. Everyone is so kind and compassionate. 5 stars. Nice to see you Deanna! Will be back and make an apt next time. I recommend making an apt if you can as they do get busy an hr prior at least, but they do allow walk in like I did both times too“

“Every technician here is incredibly talented, friendly, and efficient — they work quickly without ever sacrificing quality. The nail designs are creative/customizable allowing you to express your own style, and they shape nails beautifully every time. No matter what I come in for, I leave feeling pampered, polished, and happy. Highly recommended!“

“Raymond is the BEST ? he’s a super friendly person and even gave me tips on how to take care of my hair. I love my haircut and looking forward to my next appointment.“

“Visited from London and had the best gel manicure I’ve had so will have to fly back for further appointments! Loved the owners, great service would highly recommend.“

“Welcoming, kind , professional. High quality place! I'm a returning costumer, and I love that I can book an appointment online or just walk in.“

“Loyal costumer of over 2 years here! I just want to say how amazing this nail shop has been and their attention to detail that keeps me coming back every time. I’m the type to love designs on my nails and after trying out a few nail shops in the area I was losing hope in finding a place that could bring my vision to life every time. The staff is very kind and if one person isn’t able to accommodate my vision they’re able to find someone in the shop who can. I appreciate their knowledge and cleanliness. I have had at least 4 of my friends/coworkers become customers of this shop after seeing how my nails are done time and time again. I highly recommend Flamingo nail shop in Walnut Creek!“

“Had a great pedicure with Nancy. Very attentive to detail with cuticles, filing, and polishing which I appreciate. Toes are looking good!“

“I went to Beauty Lounge and Wine Bar for the first time last night and left teary eyed, but not for any reason other than the fact that I felt so pretty from the hair cut and color I received from Jonathan.

I came in with hair that kept reverting to red and a weird, shelf of hair that made no sense. He went through the approach for the cut, potential costs, consulted neighbor hair stylists, and got started. I was there for 4 hours and had a couple of glasses of wine while I was there (they have a full bar!!). We chatted easily and along the way he made sure I was comfortable, agreeing with the cut, color, etc. Highly recommend Jonathan.“

“I walked in right as the doors opened, and it sounded like the staff were fighting. Employees were running around chaotically while the owner shouted orders across the salon in front of guests waiting for their appointments.

I sat down for my mani-pedi, and the foot bath was icy cold. My manicurist was fast, but not careful. She made me bleed. My pedicurist gave me a massage like she had nothing left in the tank, then rinsed my feet with water so hot I actually yelped. She painted outside the lines and cleaned it up afterward with acetone. The whole appointment has felt like a pit stop.

The only thing consistently relaxing has been the massage chair.

The description above is not from SIS.

SIS is my safe place. It’s quiet. It’s calm. They take pride in their work. Their cuticle work is the most precise I’ve ever had, and they paint with care instead of rushing to the next client.

Next time I’ll prioritize my planning, I can’t do this again. Thanks Helen and the SIS Staff. I’m missing your service while sitting in this chair.“

“After trying at least 5 other salons in the area, I have finally found my place! Amy did a PERFECT pedicure. I love they use the dry filing disk instead of the traditional pumice bar. She was thorough and very precise. Great to talk to as well. The owners are Awesome as well! See you guys next week!!!“

“Very kind staff! If you need anything adjusted or touchup they are happy to help and want their customers to be happy with their results. :) Thank you Gaia Nails for the beautiful work and touching up my toes when the polish chipped from wearing my tight shoes! You're the best!“

“Excellent expert manicure and pedicure master!
As a bonus- always on time, super responsible with scheduling.“

“Really great service wonderful new chairs, and clean salon. definitely my new go to place for my nails“

“Viviane and her staff are so friendly! This is one of the few places in California that I have been to a Vietnamese salon and it ACTUALLY feels like a spa.
Tranquility, peace, good service and reasonable pricing!
Thank you! Love you!

Vanessa is great for pedis ?“

“I had a very relaxing massage along with a manicure and pedicure thanks to Lisa and Kathy. Highly recommend them if you need unwind and feel pampered.“

“Love it here! I’ve been at least 5 times and every time they are sweet, attentive and efficient. This time my nail artist created a fox to match my little fox:)“

“I have had the nails done here. I like the way of Jason do my nails. He did very well. I love it. I’ll be back.“

“Reasonably price pedicure, great job on the polish, and they got a bunch of dead skin off my heels so I could start wearing sandals again. (The place could have been a bit tidier, but other than that no complaints!)“

“I just got my nails done here, and I’m really happy with the results! The staff was super friendly, and I felt pampered throughout the whole experience. Definitely my new go-to spot for mani-pedis!“

“Paula did my Manicure ? I got shade 02 in the dip powder (4 coats) natural & classy. I also asked for super square straight nails. Ladies are always so nice.“

“Mariya is simply the best hairdresser there is, and outstanding color specialist. If she will do your hair once, you'll never want to go to a different hairdresser - she's that good! Will highly recommend, just make sure you book your appointment in advance - she books out pretty fast.“

“First time customer today. Omar was great, and I am happy with my haircut. I will be a regular walk-in client.“

“Excellent and affordable. They give a great massage and you can pay a little more for a longer one. They have a great selection of colors (they had some I couldn't find at other salons), and the shop is clean, and the staff is friendly. It's definitely a go-to favorite of mine.“

“Tammy was great she was so patient & did excellent work for a great price. Thank you so much“

“Everytime I go to Kool Nails I am always leaving happy. My gel manicures always stay on for such a long time and they always do their best work! Highly recommend!“
