Nicha Nails

She amazing!!! Takes her time each time I love that she help me choose the colors since I was undecided for my wedding. She happily improve my vision and help me through the process and gave me guidance… Definitely going to be the only person that does my nails

I’ve been going to Nicha Nails for two years now, almost exactly :) Annie continues to do wonderful work at very reasonable rates. The salon is still clean and stylish. And Annie still manages to do my toesies without tickling.
I’d like to respond to some of the negative reviews focused on communication issues. So she says things like she’s «too busy» instead of «I don’t have an opening right now.» That’s not worth a slam, in my book. Most importantly, the review posted on 1÷24÷2015 has confused Nicha Nails with somewhere else, for sure. That fuzzy photo is not Annie, and the background is definitely not her salon.
That’s my update review. Happy sandals weather!

Annie did a wonderful. She was super sweet and attentive. I’ve never had someone try to make my feet look so perfect. The location is perfect. Very relaxing! She took her time and wasn’t bothered by my questions. Will definitely be returning!

Came in knowing that walk ins are welcome, since its said that NO in appointment only. The person inside said if i have an appointment because she only do per appointment! Didnt even offer if i want to make an appointment with her.

I can’t compliment this place ENOUGH! Annie is the bomb! Very professional and will not let you leave unsatisfied! Plus I love the fact that she is mainly by appointment. This way I get all my pampering during my blocked off time. Beautiful and relaxing atmosphere. Call and make your appointment today!

From reading the reviews, I realized that you must make appointments in advanced or else they’re always booked! I just happened to get lucky the day before Christmas Eve. I called in exactly at 10 am when they opened and a woman told me if I went that instant, then she could fit me in her schedule.
When I got there she apologized for rushing me there, but I told her it was really my fault for calling last minute. Even though she was totally booked, she didn’t rush at all while doing my nails; I think that’s what I appreciated the most. She showed so much hospitality; the cute and warm vibe of the salon showed through her small conversations while she spoke with such a gentle voice. We spoke about social justice and the tragedies in our society now. I wish I could have gotten her name before I had left. She did an amazing job and gave me exactly what I wanted! From now on, I’ll be booking for all special occasions.

I absolutely loved the gel manicure that I got. The inside of the place is clean and beautiful, a great spot to be surrounded in. Customer service is great as well. It was my first time here and it was also during the holiday season. No lines, nice and quiet, and I felt very cared for. Not expensive at all either. Definitely coming back!

Annie is amazing! She’s so sweet she’s like the auntie I never had. She even walked me out since it was dark when we finished to make sure I got to my car safely. :)
She made sure that my nails were exactly what I wanted and basically read my mind. I think it’s just her running the salon, so it was just us and it was a very chill and relaxing environment. The name of the salon is her daughter’s nickname, so cute! I think I’ve found my go to place :) make sure to make an appointment! You won’t regret it :)

I give zero stars if I could! I’m not sure the work here is good, but just from the customer service over the phone I’m already turned off!!! All the way. I called in before driving over to see if they had time for shellac manicure. I am not sure who answered the phone, because they didn’t stop to mention it. The women asked how far are you from here? Because if you are 5 minutes away I can do it if your farther I can’t. I said ok I’ll GPS it to find out. (I had just Unilocaled and seen good reviews and most definitely interested in their service) The GPS literally says 5 minutes away. She says are you sure? Yes I literally just looked it up. She proceeds to ask if I’m already dressed?. EXCUSE ME? Look if you don’t have time that’s fine just say so don’t be rude about it.

Best nail salon experience I’ve had thus far! Shes so nice and does an amazing job! Will definitely be coming back!

Just left this salon. The lady told me she didn’t have time to give me a polish change because she was busy… We were the only 2 people there, not a fly in sight. Too bad, it looked like a cute place. I’ll never go back.

I have a very good friend who lives in San Pablo and I needed my nails done really badly, so of course, I head to Unilocal.
I chose this place based off of reviews and how close it was to me. Unfortunately, me not knowing the area too well and having a suck ass sense of direction, I got lost.
I eventually found the place after calling and its to the right of Walgreens and across the street from PJ’s. It’s upstairs from a cleaners.
The inside is absolutely beautiful! Very chic and pretty. They offer free water and coffee and have hundreds of polishes to pick from. The only thing I don’t like, is that they don’t really have color wheels to see the polish on an acrylic nail. So I had to open each bottle to see what it looked liked. They have individual painted nails on like a chicken skewer, but that seemed too time consuming to look at. First world problem, I know.
So the lady who did my nails, I’m going to assume is the owner? did my nails. It took longer than usual. (usual fill + gel takes about 40 mins at my normal place, and it took an hour and a half.) She took her time, which I didn’t mind at all since I wasn’t in a hurry, and it shows.
She was really personable and kind and chatted just enough to make me comfortable. I will for sure be coming back here when I need a fill!

I absolutely love this place. It was first time, I made an appointment and it was only me!!!
Not lots of people waiting and talking loud, only me and the owner who does your nail. You can really relax and enjoy your time here.
She did a great job with my nails and I already scheduled another appointment.

Ok so let me start of by saying they don’t have pedicures and manis like this anymore! Annie took her time and left my feet. baby soft! Many color choices and am definitely going to be a regular from now on. And she has the periwinkle I’ve been searching high and low for. Very sweet and attentive didn’t rush through either of my services.

My mission? To find the best things that life has to offer. For those that stand out above all, the ones that go the extra mile, are those things that are best and deserve the five star recognition on Unilocal.
I have eyeballed this upstairs wonder for a while and had this among all nail shops within a 20 mile radius bookmarked for future reference. I was still on a verge to find a perfect nail shop. I attempted to do a walk in first thing on a Thursday morning. Instead I took the last appointment she had for that day.
I arrived early enough to select my color as she finished the last client. Both of us on schedule I was seated soon as I made a choice. With expertise and care she worked her magic. Ten perfectly painted nails later, I share this review.

Been a regular to Annie (Owner) for over a year now. She’s fantastic! She takes her time in doing your nails, knows what you want and at the same time a very zen atmosphere and a plus she’s very professional, and caring to every client. Do note to ALWAYS make an appointment as she does not take walk-​ins.

Tried her 2x already and if you look her up on Unilocal under Stay Gold Skin Care; she has a coupon upon check-​in for 10%! I have personal become a regular to Nicha Nails & Stay Gold Skin Care. These two ladies are amazing!

Annie was probably the best lady I’ve been to in a while. She knew exactly what I wanted, double checked with me to make sure I was happy with the shape, and advised on my color choice without being pushy. She made great conversation and did a wonderful job! I will certainly be back!

UPDATE: Unfortunately, I won’t be coming back to this spa. My Gel manicure that I received only lasted five days which was very disappointing since I model my hands. Hopefully the owner will hire other manicurist so she can have help.

This is the worst place for a pedicure. She barely got the dead skin off of my feet no massage what so ever. She rubbed the lotion in… barely. Do not come here its empty anyway. This place sucks.

Thank heavens for Annie! She truly takes her time, pays great attention to detail and is pleasant to chat with. Her nail salon is really cute and she’s created a relaxing atmosphere — perfect for mani/​pedi pampering.
Today was my first time and I’ve already booked my next appt., so glad I found this place based on reviews of my fellow Unilocalers!
