Salon 45

Came in from the South Bay to kill time waiting to pick up a friend from the airport. I made a mani pedi appointment with Stephanie and it was amazing! She takes her time and makes sure the polish looks just right! The salon is super cute and all the girls are friendly. I loved my experience and would highly recommend the salon!

Salon 45 is still my go to place for mani/​pedi. Stephanie is fantastic, great work, nice to talk with, and I really value the small cozy atmosphere here. She did my nails for my wedding the day before and they were perfect! She even made sure to have everything with her for repairs in case I needed an emergency fix on the day!

Mela is exceptional! I had high expectations, and she delivered. She took her time to do everything well, and was very interactive that I didn’t even realize time had gone by. I love my nails!

This place is wonderful! As soon as you walk in, you get this welcoming feel. The workers are very polite, nice, and professional. Not sure of everyone’s names, but the lady that did my mani pedi was REALLY good, she did everything just how I liked it without me even having to tell her. I would definitely recommend this to everyone and I will be coming back!

Stephanie and Mina did a great job tag teaming on my mani/​pedi to get me in and out in good time while providing excellent service and even some nail art. I highly recommend. The only improvement would be to get the massage chair fixed– it kept shutting off before finishing its cycle.

I’ve been searching for a new nail shop and I think Salon 45 might be it. I’ve gone there twice now for a pedi and gel mani with Mela. So far so good, although I am very particular especially with shaping but both times my nails were too short to really give a fair rating. Otherwise Mela is great.
Pros: Mela is very personable, efficient, caters to my requests and remembered my preferences the second time I came in. They have a pretty wide selection of colors in cnd and opi, my fave. It’s appt only so you don’t ever have to wait and Mela accommodates me even when its outside business hours. The place is clean with modern décor that match!
Cons: The shop is hard to spot when you first go there because it’s not advertised well, doesn’t look like a salon from the outside, and is located in an area with primarily dental offices. The salon itself is reall small and narrow. When you walk in there’s a small waiting area and you walk thru a narrow hallway to get to another tiny room with only 2 pedi chairs and 2 mani tables/​chairs. It’s cash only and they do not have an ATM so you would have to go to the gas station across the st. But Mela uses Venmo too so that helps. Also the servies are pretty pricey compared to other nail shops in San Leandro. $ 28 for a plain gel mani and $ 25 for a regular spa pedi. But I believe that you get what you pay for and so far I feel like it’s pretty worth it… or maybe because I’m tired of being so disappointed with other shops I’ve been to.

I am new to the area and really needed a mani & pedi before I start working tomorrow. After checking reviews at various sites I tried this one and made an appointment with Mela for today. She was awesome, one of the best pedicures I’ve ever had (great mani too) and super nice and friendly. I will definitely be back!

I love salon 45! They do THE best pedicures ever. Provide a warm neck wrap, chai tea, masks, treatments and massages and it is so affordable! And they are all really friendly and sweet and every time I walk out feeling so relaxed and rejuvenated. So different to a lot of places around here, they are really high quality and give the full spa feeling right here in San Leandro.

I looooove Salon 45. The cashmere pedi is the best I have ever had! Such a clean and relaxing atmosphere. Sherry is so personable and makes everyone feel at home .this fabulous salon is a rare find. They give you first class treatment with warm neck pillows, beverages and snacks. Give it a try ! You will be very pleased :-)

I’ve only gotten a mani and pedi so far. And I luv, luv, luv it! The service is so personable and catering to your needs that I don’t feel like a bother like other places when you request for something. They hold cleanness to a high standard! I plan on getting other services done here in the future and can’t wait! I hold service & cleanness in a very high status on all my experiences. This is a place I will continue to go regularly.

I came in again before a cruise and brought my sister — oh boy, that was the start for our trip! I’m heading back this Friday after three weeks of packing and staging my house for an open house — and believe me, my hands and feet look like I’ve been playing with a wolverine. Stephanie will make everything wonderful looking again!

Love coming to Sherry for Pedicures! Her shop is so clean, modern & comfortable.
Little things like «girls» time are really important to me. So I always make an appointment for my 9 year old and myself.
Sherry has done a phenomenal job at establishing this Spa-​Feel Nail Salon! From the fresh paint and décor on the walls, to the complimentary fresh snacks and beverages always offered, to the matching Carmel Leather furniture, to the ambiance — it’s an Oasis in the middle of San Leandro.
Pros:
— talented
— beautiful colors
— clean establishment
— modern furniture & spa chairs that all match
— professional and friendly service
— reasonably priced (especially considering what’s out there)
— by appointment only, so never crowded
— spa-​like feel
Cons:
— addictive

Absolutely ADORE this nail salon.
Whenever I come, I am treated like the absolute best. Heated neck pillow, fruit platter and a drink while my feet is given the best pedicure it’s ever got in it’s life. Anytime I go, I am instantly put into a relaxing mood by the soft music played in the background and the smells of the spa. Not to mention, Salon 45 has a vast collection of nail colors, lotion, scrubs and gel nail colors.
I really appreciate this place and the wonderful staff. Stephanie and Sherry are really nice individuals and it is always a pleasure to get to see them.

Stephanie is my favorite for nails! Sherry, the owner, is also good. They remodeled the nail area, which gives it a very polished, relaxing vibe. The location is also very conveniently located near the freeway and is near the local bus route (#40). Spa chairs, a warm neck pillow, magazines, and free beverages cap off the experience!

Sherri gives the best mani pedis. They have a monthly special and gift certificates too! Green tea scrub relaxong atmosphere. Aromatherapy shoulder heating pad. Nothing but the royal treatment

I’m a regular now!!! I’m headed out to a family trip this week and starting off with fresh mani pedi Stephanie & Sherri are great!

I found my favorite place to get a mani and pedi! I enjoyed the tranquil ambiance. Sherry– the owner, is very personable. My mani and pedi looked great and the scrub and lotion used smelled so good. I also got to snack on a Madeleine brownie and a fruit salad. I was dancing wildly on the inside at this point!
I got a deal here on Unilocal.Salon Forty Five Day Spa has a monthly special available on a mani/​pedi combo. (It changes every month.) Be sure to call first to book an appointment. I lucked up and got an appointment on the same day.
After my visit here, I felt like I was floating with my flip flops on, on my way home. I will be back soon!

Great Shop! Very clean and very nice! I am not even a big Unilocal person but I had to express how impressed I was.

I ABSOLUTELY love this place. Mrs. Sheri does such an amazing job on foot care (not just pedicures). I’ve been to many places where they either rush to do your pedicure or they don’t spend as much time on the most important part of the pedicure (cleaning the feet, nails, foot scrubs as well as everything that comes with a great pedicure as oppose to just all the rubbing and then the polish. This is my number one mani/​pedi place to be. She even did my feet and nails for my wedding (you must really trust someone when you let them do anything for you on your wedding day :)
Your friend,
OB

I am not much of a high maintenance lady, but at certain times, I love to get royal treatments! Getting pedicures is one of them ;-) I’m gonna keep this review short and simple.!! I LOVE Salon 45 for the following reasons:
1. The owner and nail technician, Sherry C. She is just so sweet! She really LOVES her job! She loves nails and I am particularly glad about it because I be walking out of her shop with my nails looking like the
!!! She is truly amazing and takes pride in what she does! I could go on and on about her! :-)
2. The customer service here is amazing!!! Sherry offers you complimentary snacks and refreshments to consume while you are getting your nails serviced. And you will get service with a smile too!!(-: honest and sincere conversations. I always enjoy my time here a lot!
3. CLEANLINESS!!! (that was all caps on purpose). The shop is sooooo tidy and neat! Sterilized equipment, sterilized machines, sterilized space!!! So clean, which I shall never ever take for granted. Sherry is on top of it, she stay cleaning the shop, making sure it’s up to par, always! Which is great because I do not like to worry about catching some random foot infection (trust me, I’ve been to some other nail salons, and I’ve had to worry). Thankfully Sherry is on top of things.
4. Options, and tons of them! There are tons of nail colors to choose from, and YES!!!, they carry Shellac here!!! Woo hoo!!! Also you have lots of options for the type of pedicure you want. (I barely get manicures, so I’m not sure).
5. Price: it’s soooooooo worth it!!! I mean soooooooo worth it. I mean it’s so reasonable and you really get your money’s worth! I’ve been to some places that charged me even for, and all they did was soak my feet in water, put some oil on my feet and put on nail polish. You will not have to worry about that here at all!
Well, I tried to keep it short and simple, hope that helped ((((=. I’m looking forward to getting another pedicure next week!
