Walnut Creek Nails & Tan

Nice new digs near Applebies and staff is friendly and fast working. But at $ 25 for a pedicure without tip it’s getting too spendy for me. Especially when I trash the polish within a week.

Honestly the worst nail salon I’ve ever been to. I took myself and two daughters here before my wedding. I wanted French on toes and the guy made such a mess I said forget it and did color! Then the gel on my daughter was absolutely ridiculous and a rip off! I’m disgusted that I had to pay $ 88 just to get out of here.
This place should not even be in business.

Best french manicure I’ve ever had hands down. They’ve moved right next to Applebee’s so think they’ll be getting a lot of new business since they were tucked behind Rocco’s before.
Clean, reasonable & friendly staff. Lucy is the best

I always get great care and treatment here and should have written another review sooner. I’ve purchased gift certificate for friends and they, too, have been pleased. The owner is warm and welcoming. The staff is diligent and professional; the shop is clean and comfortable. Prices are reasonable. They get you in and out, which I love. Walk-​in or appointment works. They are practically in my backyard; lucky for me. Give them a try. They do great work!

I have to say I was totally bummed when I came in for my appointment and was asked to come back thirty minutes after. when I returned they had me wait nearly twenty minutes to have me sit in the water for almost thirty minutes so I decided to skip a manicure. The customer service was fair, they don’t offer tanning although their cards say they do. So I wanted more scrubbing on my feet but after all the waiting I wasn’t to concerned with that. Sad that it wasn’t better!

Really disappointed with this place! I had a mani pedi with gel top coat and not even 2 days later my nails looked horrible. Over prized! Never going here again!

My daughter is taking a class on Saturday mornings and it is always an issue when the kids have an activity for one hour because it really isn’t enough time to get much done. I walked into WC Nails and Tan at 10:10 am on a Saturday morning and there were already 5 women getting their nails done, which I take is a good sign. There was one more tech in the back so very luckily they were able to take me without an appt. The tech was very good, very thorough and best of all, gave a GREAT leg massage.
I would give them a 5^th star if they opened a new package of tools in front of me (yes, I am paranoid) and if they treated the footsoak tub with bleach or some other disinfectant. The tech did clean the tub but it was a bit perfunctory and I couldn’t smell bleach or other strong cleanser.
In spite of that, I will be back since the tech was so good.

This place is my local and convenient nail shop whenever I’m in need of a quick fix. Always accommodating and you can always grab food a couple doors down afterwards! Check them out! :)

They do great work! I get compliments all the time on my nails. When I bring friends and family they are always happy with their nails. Thank you so much for always doing a beautiful job.

Went here out of desperation. It was the only nail salon in my area that was reasonably priced and open on sundays, so I went in for an acrylic fill/​color change. The girls are very nice and the prices are great but my nails look awful. You can completely see the line where the acrylic was grown out and one nail is waaay longer than the others for some reason. Plus the nails are less than a week old and are already starting to peel off. Not very pleased.

This shop is great. People who work there are very friendly, funny and they do such a good job. They have a lot of choices of color. And they give the best massage. i highly recommend them. Try and you will love it.

3.5 stars. I went there for a mani /​pedi. The people were all very nice and I wasn’t rushed at all. The nail polish selection wasn’t great and the job on my nails was okay. But if I was in a bind and needed a mani /​pedi I would probably go back.

WC Nails and Tan are amazing! Lucy and her entire family that run the place are so nice and extremely professional. Prices are wonderful, nail color selection is great and they do an amazing job not only with the mani/​pedis but with the leg and arm massages during your nail appointment. I’d give them more stars if I could. Place is very nice and clean. Added bonus: The massage chairs are so wonderful and relaxing. This is my only go to place for a day of pampering. They do everything here. I highly recommend them. You can’t go wrong.

I was very disappointed with the service. A woman started my pedicure then a man finished it. He filed my skin on both my toes then proceeded to spray nail polish remover on them, which caused the cuts to burn. The paint job was horrible and it took way too long for something so simple. On top of that they calculated their own tip. By the time I left it had chipped.

Lucy has been doing my nails for almost a year! I usually get a pedi/​mani with shellac. It lasts me 10 days — very good quality products. I love spending my days off getting pampered by these ladies.

Not at all impressed with this place. I walked in around 1pm and it was totally empty. The owner and coworker were sitting in the chairs watching shows on their iPads. I asked about a pedi and the owner (I assume) helped me out — I confirmed it was about a half hour for a pedi. She said no problem.
After I was soaking for 10 minutes (Really? That long? Why?) a guy came in and started my toes. He was so awkward. And incredibly slow. I’m sure he was trying to do things perfectly, but this was the worst pedicure I’ve ever gotten. Oh, it was nearly and hour, too. An. Hour. (what?!)
I’m still annoyed. I would have given the place 1 star, but I felt a little bad for him. He’s was nice enough, so I don’t blame him. Management shouldn’t have him in that role.
I can’t recommend this place. At all.

I really want to give them a better review mainly because the owner Lucy is so nice, but I can’t! The first person to do my toes her nephew, did a horrible job. I thought she did a ok job on my nails until I was leaving and a million bubbles showed up on each nail. Very disappointing as they are right down the street from my house.

This place is awesome, Vickie and Lucy have started there business on a very positive note. ! They are the Best.
This nail place is very clean and very comfortable.
I wish them both success and will always be there regular customer. !!

I will try to make a long story short…
I had been to WC Nail & Tan several times, it was just ok.
I had also been to Super Tan & Nails in WC several times as well, and disliked the proprietors, but loved the girl who worked on my «Lucy». Well I stopped going there because I truly did not like the management.
So yesterday I desperately needed a pedi so I called WC Nails & Tan for a last minute appt. They took me in & who do I see when I get there?? LUCY :) Yaaaa… she is the new owner!!!
She just bought the place a week ago & provided me EXCELLENT SERVICE! She did a great job on my pedi & shaped my eyebrows so good that I look 5 years younger ;)
I am really thrilled because I was just not able to find a salon that I liked enough to call my own. I have finally found it ;)
Go & check it out, you will be happy you did. It is right next door to Rocco’s, Applebee’s & Safeway.

I needed to get a quick mani and pedi prior to the new year’s eve festivites and happen to find this location near my office.
I didn’t make a reservation but was able to walk on in and get seated and be done with both a mani and pedi in about on hour.
At first glance, this is not the more visually appealing site but if you can get over that fact and focus on the work then you will be ok.
1. Color selection: limited to the basic color pallets, i would recommend bringing your own if you want something unique.
2. Massage chairs: did not do as good of job as I have experienced at other sites.
3. Magazine selection: reading material available when you walk in the door.
4. Manicure: was ok. nothing spectacular about it. The friendly manicurist didnt cut me which is always a good thing and the hand massage was ok. I was getting this done as my feet soaked and had to take jewlery off and put them in my pockets becuase the massage chairs do not have the attached fold out tables to place anything on. I got my nails buffed, no color and they turned out pretty good.
5. Pedicure: got the job done again nothing spectacular about it. Pedicurist was friendly and my feet left the location cut free. The pedicure include a callus scrub and a leg massage. Again, the feet turned out pretty good.
6. Drying: The UV light drying system seems a little weak, myself and another individual had to sit and reset the timer on the UV drying system at least three times,(12 minutes) and our paint was still tacky to the touch.
7. Pricing. Cost was $ 32 dollars no tip included.
Overall they get a three because my nails looked good when I left. Only reason to go here is if you want a good quick mani/​pedi, if you want to be pampered go somewhere else.
