Almond Plaza Nails and Spa

I cam here last min and they squeezed me in. Kim was the lady that did my nail and she did a wonderful job. She knew I wanted pink & white and have my nail looking more natural as I have request to do it on my natural nail. She did it thin and narrow. Everyone that seen my nail was impress as they though it was my natural nail.
She also showed me there’s other color and glitter she can do.
I went back for a fill and she made my nails very nice. RECOMEND and will continue coming here.

I was recommended by my friend to come here and I must say that I love the staff! The owner always greets you by your name and everyone is so friendly. The nail techs can do just about any nail design and is also reasonably priced. This was my 3^rd time and Lynn always does a great job.

I used too get my nails done all the time. Full set, fills, all that craziness. As I’ve gotten older I’m wayyyyyy more simple. But I remember the main reason why I stopped going was because I would pay a shit ton of money and then the quality of work went way down.
Until I found this place. I was a little sketched out due to so many bad experiences I had in the past but I’m so so so so happy I found this place.
I took my mom and she got a gel manicure, I got a regular manicure and to my surprise my regular manicure lasted almost 2 weeks and looked flawless. Here I am, back again today and feeling excited to start getting my nails done again!

just got my shellac mani pedi with my fav nail technician Vee, thankvyou so much cant wait to show them offnin Vegas! muah!

First time I went to this place and I am SO happy I did. Pretty sure I found my go-​to nail salon! Went in with a friend without an appointment on a Saturday afternoon and they took us in with little wait! Kristin (spellcheck) did both my pedicure and gel manicure and I’m extremely satisfied! I’m happy with the shape, color, and price of my nails. I paid $ 45. The entire staff was really friendly and everyone in there seemed like long like customers, which was refreshing! The staff took the time to introduce themselves and asked me about my holidays/​graduating college which I thought was amazing and I had a very nice experience getting to know the staff as well! I asked Kristin for her thoughts on colors/​shape and I appreciated how honest she was. The facility is cute and I think they remodeled the place a bit so the bowls and chairs are all very nice.
The only things I can think of as minor drawbacks are that 1) they don’t do as extensive massages on the mani/​pedis as I’ve had at other places. Although they might do them at an additional cost and 2) they do not allowing tipping on debit/​credit cards so make sure you BRING CASH.
Overall I am extremely happy with this place and I look forward to going back!

I had the worst experience here. I got a pedicure by a girl named TINA, and she made me bleed. She took off way too much cuticle and also cut my nails too short, which made me bleed. After that, my toes hurt for about a week and it hurt to walk. I was so disappointed because I heard so many great things about this place. However, my friend got V and she did a decent job.
Not sure if I would come here again due to my experience. There are better places out there.

Today I treated my grandmother and myself to a mani pedi here — it was great!
$ 69 for gel and acrylic fill and gel pedicure
$ 35 for spa pedicure and manicure.
The ladies did a great job on both of our hands and toes. Spa pedicure chairs are the newer ones with the colored glass foot baths. Salon was clean and in great shape. Definitely will be back for our next mani pedi day!

Make sure you book an appointment as they get pretty busy. These gals can do a fill in record time (less than an hour) and at great quality. I usually like to get in and out. I always get compliments on my nails and they stay super shiny even when they are grown out over a quarter inch! T

I’m glad I found this salon on Unilocal and thanks fellow Unilocalers for all of your tips and reviews. I finally found my «home» nail salon after my favorite «go-​to» nail tech left Pure Organics in Pleasanton.
THANK YOU Mai for doing such a fantastic job on my nails! Love your creativity, friendliness, & fun personality! I’m definitely coming back to see you! Thanks again!

After only 8 days, my nails looked horrible. The gel was chipped and cracked to an embarrassing level. I would go back to get them redone but I don’t want this to happen again so I’m just leaving it at that. I also got a regular pedicure and the nail polish is completely faded and chipped. I would not recommend this place based on the results… But the ladies working there were quite nice!

Hand and feet are ready for Mexico!!! I paid 65 to have shellac manicure with design and a pedi with the same design as my hands. Mai is great and quick and I love how they use a sugar scrub on legs and a warm lotion post that to massage… I wish the massage was «harder» my legs are usually tense… and wish it would last longer… but I still give them 5 stars. Nice place … my advise to improve: play music or tv music videos, make massages longer and stronger.

I went here for waxing and nails today and was extremely disappointed. First off the people managing the reservations did not track who was slotted for which time slot and ended up having to turn down customers that made actual reservations.
After my manicure was half done, I went into the waxing room with V. Firstly, she took an extraordinarily long time to do a brazilian and thigh wax (approximately 1 hour minimum) and she clearly did not have an effective system. The room was filthy and she did a poor job with the waxing. I had to keep reminding her to do various portions of my body over again and when I came home I noticed many bruises and large areas of hair remaining. To top it off, she wore latex gloves that nabbed at my skin since they had wax all over them — it was like getting waxed twice (once with her gloves and the second with the strip).
I would not recommend this place again as I felt it was unhygienic and you do not receive your money’s worth.

The salon recently got a little remodel and they have all new pedicure chairs and manicure stations. It looks great!
Almond Plaza continues to be my go-​to nail salon. They’re nice and friendly and they do a good job. In recent months I came in for a shellac mani and a pedicure for both my sister and my wedding. They did a great job both times and they suggested the perfect color both times. I appreciate it since they’re more familiar with how the polish will look in the end.
I’ll continue to go here whenever I’m in the area. They are a great salon!

$ 53 for my 11 year old to get a mani pedi due to the design by Mai. This is highway robbery. So disappointed after going there for almost 4 years. Time to find another salon.

Went earlier this morning to have my mom and I get our nails done for Mother’s Day. Here are some quick pros and cons:
Pros:
* nicely renovated, huge space
* good service
* wide variety of nail choices
* ladies listen to your suggestions and wants
Cons:
*slight formaldehyde smell upon entering that lingers
* quality differs between different ladies
Overall, I love the experience as this was the first time my mother and I went to a nail salon! We were a walk-​in appointment and they acquainted us immediately (this was the third place we’ve gone to since the other two before were booked). The lady that did my moms nails was incredibly patient and paid incredible attention at each nail, however my lady was on the phone entire time and face timing with her family.
It’s okay though my nails turned out fine
In the end, my nails were a little bit wonky, but it wasn’t anything that you couldn’t fix with your own file at home. Acrylic full set with gel is 35. We tipped 5 each so it turned out to be 80. Not the worst!

I’ve been going to the same nail shop for about 9 years now. However lately their services have been «off». So I decided today that I would get a pedicure at a different shop and then go to my old shop afterwards to get my nails done. So of course I hit Unilocal to see what was out there. After searching I noticed that Almond Nails had mostly great reviews. So I called and made an appointment with Mai.
Upon arrival at the shop I was seated in these new massage chairs, which I found out had just been installed the previous week. Mae was ready for me. She was so sweet. But the treatment! Man! I was not disappointed!!! It was a thousand times better than my old shop. It was so good that I asked if she could do my nails as well. As soon as she said yes I called my old shop to cancel my appointment (which I’ll admit was bittersweet. I felt guilty…) but I’m so satisfied with my nails. I may have found a new nail shop. We’ll see after 3 weeks.

Sorry.. this is a good place IF YOU HAVE your person… if you get poor service.. which happened several times in a row.. they chatted about the experience amongst themselves in a foreign language.. exchanging looks that made né feel bad for coming back to fix their mistakes.. still rude after I came back a 3^rd time within 10 days… REALLY! …
My time matters too… it is no fun to get a bad manicure.. and have to return several times to have it repaired.
No thanks.

Vin and Mimi did a great job! This is my second time back to Almond Nails and I definitely have found my nail salon! Reasonably priced, clean and friendly. Vin’s gel nails last 3 – 4 weeks and never seem to chip and my cuticles have never looked or felt better and my feet are always soft for days after despite how hard I am on my feet and nails! Excellent business! Would highly recommend!

I love this place so much. I’ve been coming here about once a month for almost a year now. I’ve gotten simple nails but I have also gotten more complicated designs. Mai does my nails about 90% of the time and does an amazing job each time. I went in today so that I could get my Minnie Mouse nails for Disneyland. Mai was able to look at my picture I showed her and she made a copy of that on my nails!

I was headed to Reno for the weekend and needed a pedicure, badly! My work just moved into the Almond Plaza and my boss recommended this salon, so I thought I’d give it a try.
I went in at 11AM on a Friday, no appointment. There were a few women getting pedicures, two getting manicures. The woman sat me down right away and let me feet soak for a little bit, while she finished up on a previous customer.
When I was sitting there, I was actually surprised at the size of it. It’s average size for a nail salon, but it looks so small from the outside. It is nicely decorated and is clean.
The woman that did my pedicure was nice and did a good job. It was like many other places… but here they do some sort of exfoliating scrub, which smelled amazing and felt good. I believe after tip, I paid about $ 23. Not too bad, if you’re in the area, I’d recommend Almond Plaza Nails!
