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“

“Tera is a true artist and expert in her craft. She has single-handedly transformed my hair from dry, damaged, breaking, and extremely fine post-menopausal strands into something I genuinely didn’t think was possible—healthy, strong, and full of life, with the most beautiful golden highlights.

Her understanding of color is exceptional, and she pairs that with precision cutting and a highly personalized approach. She doesn’t just “do hair”—she truly studies your hair type, condition, and goals, and creates a result that actually works for you.

What makes Tera even more special is who she is as a person. She is incredibly warm, kind, and genuine—someone you immediately feel comfortable with the moment you sit in her chair. Our conversations are always easy and uplifting, and it’s clear she has a truly good heart and cares deeply about her clients.

I trust her so much that I’ve recommended her to my daughter, my mother, and my friends—and every single one of them has had the same wonderful experience.

If you’re looking for someone who combines technical mastery, artistry, and a genuinely beautiful soul, Tera is it.“

“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.“

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

“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:)“

“Abby and Katie did my mom and my nails. They look SO good ❤️❤️ love them so much highly recommend!!“

“I enjoy this place more than any other that I’ve visited. They are so sweet and the most gentle. They give lovely massages and don’t seem to rush the massage. My manicures last the longest with their service. I work with my hands and am very hard on my nails, so it’s important to me that the polish lasts so long. Also, they’re so kind and do not try to upsell all the time. It’s really the best one around!“

“I love coming here! Jason always does amazing and is a wonderful artist, my acrylics / gel x are always shaped so perfectly and last a month. Definitely recommend coming here! :)“

“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!“

“So good I’m scared to jinx it. ❤🩷 pedicure is consistently the best I’ve ever had. Have not gotten my nails done there yet.“

“Absolutely love them! Clean, friendly, and efficient. Plus they have done some truly awesome nail art for me!“

“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!)“

“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.“

“I love coming to Diva Nails & Spa. They do the best pedicures and manicures. They are careful, clean and do a great job. The staff are friendly and truly offer the very best service. I highly recommend this place for anyone wanting a relaxing, quality experience.“

“Thank you so much to Vy, she stayed late to help me with my broken nail emergency. She did a beautiful Ombre French dip powder on me ❤️“

“lovely service. I am definitely going back. Tuy is excellent. The atmosphere is friendly and yet professional.“

“Great service, amazing attention to detail, I absolutely love my nails, and it was for a really fair price for the quality of work. Highly recommend this place.“

“Lavender Dreams is a solid nail salon. No matter which nail technician I’ve used, my nails always look amazing! Some techs are a little more aggressive using the nail grinder to remove gel, but they’re very responsive if you let them know. Overall, this is my go to nail salon for gel manicures and spa like pedicures!“

“The new location is beautiful and relaxing. I’ve been going to Sun for a while now and her and her daughter have always done a great job on my nails. They truly care about their customers and the quality of care is superior to any of the larger local nail salons I’ve visited. I highly recommend supporting this small, local business.Services: Pedicures“
