California Nails

Leon and Tim are the go to for nails. I had Lilly and she doesn’t do a good job. She always take short cuts and convince you into something you don’t like. Basically, she doesn’t listen to what you want. So no Lilly on nails! Other than that… this is my go to for nails!

I love my nails and the mani pedi combo! They’re always great and do a great job on my nails. They take the time to give a great massage for both manicures and pedicures! Sunny and Tina are the best at the overall cleaning of the nails and the massage. Leon and Tim are the best for the nail designs! They’re friendly and you can have great conversation with them! This is my new place! Haven’t gone anywhere else since I started coming here earlier this year. My nails last for more than two weeks at a time for both regular and gel polish. It’s affordable and the service is great and they’re always nice! If you’re not getting good service from them it’s probably because they don’t feel respected. Also walk-​ins are always accepted. I would recommend going in the early afternoon. Most times after 3 – 4 they are booked, so if you want to go in around that time I would make an appointment.

Had a bad day and came here and was treated sooooo nice!. Everyone here was so warm and welcoming. Defiantly will come back !

Love my nails!
I came here 3 years ago but never came back until today!
It is NOT that I didn’t like it but I just found my go to nail salon but sadly, they were full today so after 3 years, called in to this place and made an appointment.
*Appointment is definitely needed, if you want your nails done quickly without any wait*
Result was amazing! I am usually really antisocial but this place made me feel really comfortable! I got acrylic by Tim. He was very professional and kind, Since I am not really sociable, he started some conversation with me and It was fun experience!
Will definitely come back for fill!

Appreciate this place. I went it to get my white tip acrylic nails filled. The male nail specialist, Leon, told me that he would be able to fix them. They looked abysmal after they were worked on by another nail place off Monument. He recommended that I get a pink and white nails. So I did, and they look so great. The nice thing was that although the last lady at the last place curved and ruined my tips, the white powder created sharp and strong edges and hardened within seconds. Anyway, I am so glad with they way the turned out. The price around 30 for the pink and white. A fill, he said would be 20. Thats what I had been paying all along for a fill with plain clear acrylic. Needless to say, I will return for that pink fill. I will say that I am a little disappointed with the wait times, but its because they are so busy. I’d recommend this place with an appointment, or not if you’re okay to wait a few minutes.

The service here is great! I’m currently getting a pedicure and this place makes me feel so relaxed. They give complementary mini water bottles and have great message chairs that give great deep messages. The soaking water is hot and when cleaning your feet they use a cold green scrub on your legs and rub cold slices of lemon on your legs and feet. They then continue to wipe down your legs with a hot towel. I loved and enjoyed the way they did my pedicure and I will definitely be coming back!

My experience was great so I even decided to make an account on Unilocal to express so! I’ve been looking for a good, reasonably priced nail salon in the Concord area since I moved from San Ramon. I’ve been to a couple of places and they always rush and nails chips days after. Kelly took me in after I made an appointment. She took her time and was so friendly! They gave me a ice cold water as well. Love this place I will definitely be coming again. Not to mention how impeccable my nails look! My search is finally over.

I have been a customer here for 2 years and I’ve decided to stop going. I would give only 1 star, except that I like half the crew there. Reasons below:
— SLOW: It takes 2+ hours for a gel mani and regular pedi — no matter if they are busy or empty.
— LAZY LADY: Most everyone there does a good job, but there is one lady who is SO BAD. She has done every possible mess up to my nails over my visits: lumpy gel, missed paint on side of nail, dries my nails to skin (every time), uneven filing, not removing old polish enough so it shows thru under new polish, leaves nail tips jagged with dried polish, leaves polish dried to my skin (every time).
— RUDE: One time Lazy Lady did my nails so badly that I actually called back for an appt to fix them — and she was SUPER rude to me! She scolded me for being late to the appointment then spent the entire time chastising me about how I probably just wanted to change the color of the polish (I actually asked for the SAME color to be re-​applied). I’ve continued to go here for 6 more months following this episode in February (and have received poorer treatment from other employees bc she talks bad about me every time — and glares at me, too).
Except today I felt validated: While I was sitting there (for 2 hours) one customer left when Lazy Lady finished her nails and then came back in 5 minutes later, went up to the manager and pointed out two nails that needed to be redone and set a new appointment to come back in on Monday. Then (I can’t even make this up) another girl came in and had an appointment for Lazy Lady to fix several of her nails from the manicure Lazy Lady gave her on Monday. Then to top it off today Lazy Lady said to me «Oh, make sure about your nail polish color because I remember you.»

Ok soo the two stars are just for having to see me a my closing time. Both the managers and nice but the actual quality is not their. I got my nails done just the other night, paid $ 17 just for an acrylic fill and man… It was the worst… Not only did I have to pay to have another technician fix it, they made my previous fills extra lumpy. It was chilling the first day… Definitely learned my lesson from getting a $ 17 fill on monument…

The mother Tina did my pedicure. The husband did my mani, they took their time and seriously treated me like a queen. Tina was a little rough with using the brush (it left me a little pink on the foot) still despite that the service overrode that minor setback. The son is really nice and I think reasonable prices for Hispanic town Monument Boulevard. The pedicure was done with love and I can tell I wasn’t being rushed and my business was appreciated.

I had to leave mid-​manicure… This place was a nightmare. I was passed off from Tim (who I’ve heard great things about) to an older lady who I’m pretty sure had no idea what she was doing. Since I had shellac, they had me sitting with the foils around my fingers for 15+ minutes and once she tried to scrape off the polish, it still wouldn’t come off. She clipped my nails, put cuticle gel on and told me to sit there with both hands in the small bowl of water for my cuticles to soak… Now I’m no expert, but I’m pretty sure that’s not how it works. Meanwhile a pedicure tub started to overflow so they had to tend to that, which I understand completely, but I couldn’t stick around any longer. After apologizing to Tim, the older lady followed me out TO MY CAR, tapping on the window, asking me to come back in. There is no way I will be coming back here, sorry.

I’m always kinda nervous about trying out a new salon. But I stopped here after seeing the pictures and saw Kelly.
I called ahead and they were still super busy when I got there, but I didn’t have to wait long.
I saw Kelly for an acrylic refill, Polish, and simple design for $ 22. The dremeling was a little rough for me, but no bleeding or pain after. She did a nice job.
The polish is a little uneven and there are some bubbles, but I think white polish is more difficult anyways.
All in all she did a good job for the price and I’m happy with how it looks.
Edit: by day 3 polish looked horrible. Unevenness was very visible and even more bubbles appeared. Had to repaint myself.

So when I get here I tell them I want a pedi and a fill on my nails. They sit me in the massage chair but tell me to keep my socks on. I sat waiting for twenty minutes they said they didn’t know I wanted my feet done. The lady that came in behind me got pamper before me. It’d 7:45pm they close at 7 I’m still here. Kelly did a great job on my nails.

Family own business! In the times I visited, I forgot my wallet. Rushed them because I had to go to work, yet, every time I come back and they are happy to see me!
They will make sure you are comfortable!

My favorite place to get a pedicure. The only warning is this it not the place if you’re in a hurry, but in a good way! They take their time and really give you the attention I enjoy when I need some «me time.» I have got a few manicures done before, which were also good, but I usually stick the the pedi. They always greet me promptly and hand me a mini water bottle to enjoy while I relax. Sometimes they even let me pick the tv channel! Haha great place and great prices. $ 40 for mani/​pedi with gel on the mani. $ 20 for best pedicure ever.

I am so glad I found this little gem. Tina, the owner, is amazing. She took me on a walk-​in and did my mani to perfection, really taking her time. She LITERALLY, without EXAGGERATING, massaged my for over 30 minutes. The shop was quiet and because she did not have any other customers at that time, massaged my shoulders the entire time my nails were drying. She has such a loving, friendly personality. And $ 11 for the mani? They have a repeat customer in me. planning on going back this weekend for a mani/​pedi combo.

Service is great! They accommodated all 3 of us for mani/​pedi 30 minutes before closing. The owner, Tina didn’t rush us and made us feel really comfortable. Tina personally did my pedi and took her time with the whole process. She did a great job on my toes.
The lady who did my mani, was a different story. She rushed through the whole thing and even asked me if I worked that day. When I answered, «no», she asked
«Why didn’t you come earlier then?»
Esqueeze me!!!
She also did a horrible job with the gel and did a too thick, uneven coating. She was such in a hurry that I realized the edge of my nail was stuck to my skin from the super thick gel coating. I showed it to the owner and she promptly fixed it and also gave me a hand and arm massage that the other lady didn’t do. She even offered us back massages while our nails were drying.
I will come back again only if Tina will do my nails!

Tim and Tina are amazing! It’s so interesting to see the mixed reviews because my experience there was nothing but positive. My friend and I made an appointment for 6:45 and they were willing to take us in. Never once did we feel rushed. They gave us a complimentary water bottle and massage.
We both for shellac manicures and spa pedicures which included a salt/​sand exfoliation and hot lotion and towels. Like others have said it’s one of the best pedicures I’ve had.
The shop is a family-​run business that understands affordable pricing, but doesn’t skimp on time or attention to detail. I will definitely be back!

I work in Napa and live in Concord and wanted to find a place that was near my house to get my nails and feet done. I looked this place up on Unilocal and saw that it was close by and had mainly good reviews. Since I work in Napa, I called ahead of time to make an appointment at 6:00pm for a mani/​pedi.
I got there at about 5:50 and when I came in a lady was on the phone waving me in. I felt that it was kind of rude, but I asked her where her restroom was and went to use the bathroom first. The restroom was clean and sanitary. The inside of the salon is super small and there was nobody else there so I felt a little hesisant but Leyli asked me if I had called about the 6 pm appointment. I told her that I also wanted a pedicure as well and she said that she understood and began on my nails. Usually when I get both a mani/​pedi, they start with the pedi first.
Leyli asked me what gel color that I wanted and she proceeded to do my nails. She didn’t really talk much and would glance up at me every once in a while. I was fine with that, but this other guy that I think worked there kept hovering over me and looking which is very uncomfortable. Initially they had a foreign channel on and then changed it to the channel 7 news when I sat down. Tina offered me a bottle of water while I was getting my gel manicure. After Leyli shaped my nails, she sent me to Tina to get my pedicure done and OMG let me just say that the pedicure was the
!
Tina was absolutely AMAZING! She didn’t speak very much english, but she definitely knew what she was doing! She really scrubbed my feet and took her time with me. I wear heels at work all day and my feet can be pretty rough. She rubbed my legs with a salt scrub and an orange and patted them down with a nice hot rag afterwards. I was in the massage chair falling asleep because it felt so good! Lol. She took about and hour and then I got back into the chair at the manicure station. While I was getting my nails painted, Tina gave me a neck/​arm/​back massage which felt so good. I thought it was kind of weird that they didn’t let me use the gel polish on my toes also, but I used a very close shade of red which was similar and you can barely tell the difference.
I didn’t end up getting out of there until around almost 8 but I really appreciated that they took their time because my manicure and pedicure came out really good! The gel manicure was $ 30 and the pedicure was $ 25 which was a decent price for what I got. I tipped Tina really well because she did an amazing job! She gave me a hug afterward and it was so cute! They gave me an appointment card with their names on them and told me to come back again soon. I know I will for sure come back again to get another pedicure! That was the best pedicure that I’ve had in a long time!

Since my last review, I’ve actually decided to give them another try.
I went in to get a shellac manicure and Sunny was my manicurist. And wow! I’m glad I gave them a 2^nd chance. Sunny is very good at what he does. He makes sure he cuts my cuticles and shapes my nails. The nail polish application is also very nicely done. In fact, ever since I returned this past summer, I’ve been going back each month after that to get my shellac manicures! For shellac mani, it is $ 22 and it’s one of the best in town.
I still haven’t tried getting a pedi yet here because my last experience wasn’t so great but maybe I’ll give them another chance in the summer time.
Overall, the people here are friendly and they make you feel comfortable. They even give you a small water bottle for while you’re getting your nails done.
One of the workers may be a little pushy offering to do a design on your nails but other than that, a great nail salon.
