The salon is under new management. It describes itself as the best nail salon in Rockridge, Oakland, and reports a 4.9-star average on Google over its first six months under the new management.
Services range from regular manicures and pedicures to gel polish, dip powder, Gel-X extensions and acrylic or builder gel full sets, with custom nail art and chrome or cat-eye finishes available as add-ons. The Deluxe and Luxury Spa manicures and pedicures include a four-step Detox treatment with a salt soak, sugar scrub, cooling mask and butter lotion. Kids can book manicures, pedicures or combined mani-pedi visits that include trimming, shaping and regular polish.
Clients can settle in with complimentary Keurig coffee, a selection of hot teas, chilled refreshments and high-speed fiber Wi-Fi. Waxing is offered for the lips, chin, brows, face, underarms, arms, legs, back, bikini line and Brazilian area. For full-face and full-leg services, or when two people want to be seen at the same time, the salon asks clients to book separate appointments or leave a note.
Free residential street parking is available on Ocean View Drive and Manila Avenue, including unmetered and four-hour spots. Metered spaces of one to two hours sit directly on College Avenue. The salon is about a seven-minute walk from Rockridge BART, and curbside pick-up and drop-off is available.
The salon says it uses clean products and keeps the space scent-conscious. Tools are disinfected with a medical-grade product and sealed in sterilized pouches, and single-use files and buffers are used.
A soft-lit lounge with plush seating and calming playlists.
