JC Nails Spa - Gel X Nails - Pleasanton, California

I don't need fancy nails; I mostly get clear or natural pink gel to prevent my own nails from chipping constantly. This nail salon has a laid-back atmosphere with friendly staff and, most importantly, is very clean.

My favorite nail artist is Tina. She knows my simple style and even the occasional fun request (see photos) she seems to know to suggest the minimal style to match. I haven't shopped around so I'm not certain but I'm told the price is very reasonable compared to other places. Definitely recommend this place!

Tina is hands down the best nail tech I’ve ever had! I’ve been seeing her for over five years, and she never disappoints. Her attention to detail and professionalism, always leave my nails looking flawless. On top of that, she’s friendly and truly cares about her clients. I always leave my appointments feeling refreshed and loving my nails. I look forward to my pedicures and fills every month! If you’re looking for a talented and reliable nail tech, I highly recommend Tina!

Helen and her team are amazing! They are super nice and a lovely group of ladies. Every time I come here I feel relaxed and comfortable because I know the place is clean. They give you time and make you have a great time when you get any of their services. If you are looking for a fun, clean, and efficient place, you want to come to JC Nails Spa. My mom, my dad, and my husband love to come here as well!

I had a frustrating experience at this nail salon. While the technicians were incredibly kind and welcoming, the quality of my nails was far from what I expected. I opted for a dip and gel manicure with designs. I paid around $120 for my service, but the next days, the polish began to chip and the deigns peeled. I had to return three times within two weeks to have the issues fixed. To make matters worse, one of my nails broke while I was on vacation.

The second time I return I was not asked to pay but the final time I reírme to just changed my nails, I was asked to pay the full service charge. The gel also began to peel within a week. I was really hoping for a discount or at least some consideration for the inconvenience, but I was charged in full. The staff was apologetic, but the repeated issues with my nails and the lack of compensation left me feeling disappointed.

The picture with the nails done is the first time I went. Unfortunately I deleted the version where the gel chipped and peeled (gold and flowers came off).

The technicians were genuinely sweet and professional, but the quality of the service didn’t live up to expectations, and the quality of the nails made the overall experience frustrating. Unfortunately, I won’t be returning.

Nails were great- but then I got a nail infection 2 days later. Had to go to the er because it was so painful- ended up cutting my finger open and giving me antibiotics. Sorry about the photo it’s pretty nasty. They need to clean their equipment better & have better hygiene protocols in place so this doesn’t happen!!

Really sad to leave a review this low because I see such good reviews but I got my nails done on 9/18 and one nail already came off ... During my first visit staff was sweet and made sure I was satisfied but there were inconsistency with how my manicure was done . One hand was prepped and the other wasn't . Ladies were putting their time and effort until it got packed with appointments waiting and they yelled out to my manicurist to basically hurry up and quality of nail care was going down from there so I didn't like how the rest of my appointment was rushed . I understand that people were waiting but maybe some better planning time wise should have taken place because I deserve my time for my nails to get done properly just like everyone else. now I'm sad because I wanted my nails done before my trip and one nail came off literally a day before I need to leave . I never had a nail come off in the years I've gotten them done at a nail salon and a lot of money was put into this .. aside from that ladies were sweet . UPDATE : more nails came off ... Good amount of money gone to waste ... Only 3 days my nail lasted , not happy .

I have been coming here for the past 5 years, and I refuse to go anywhere else. Tina does the best nails ever! Manicure and pedicure both. Everytime I show her a design I want, she makes my nails look the exact same, even better. I never had any complaints, always left completely satisfied. She also does the best shoulder massage!!!!! Come to Tina for your nails, promise you won’t regret it!!!

Does this look like a cat-eye design to you? Also, when I pointed out that the nail lengths are not aligned, I was told nothing could be done. I’m paying for this service, so if the nails aren’t aligned, I believe it’s fair to ask for it to be fixed. Being told I’m ‘difficult’ feels unfair—if the job was done properly, there wouldn’t be an issue.

As you can see in the picture, the first two fingers are noticeably longer than the others, which makes the overall look uneven.

This is my third visit, and I’ve noticed that each time I’ve interacted with someone, they seem to be frowning. Did not get a welcoming or friendly atmosphere. I won’t be going back!
