About

Nailbar is a nail salon on Park Street in Alameda. Its menu is built around three groupings: gel polish, paraffin wax and regular manicures and pedicures. Most services can be combined into a single appointment, with or without soak-off, so a client can book a full set of hands and feet in one visit.

Clients can choose a gel manicure or pedicure on its own, or pair gel on hands with a regular or paraffin pedicure, or gel on both hands and feet. Soak-off is offered as an add-on to many of these options.

Paraffin wax is available as a standalone treatment on hands or feet, and it can also be added to a manicure or pedicure. Regular manicures and pedicures, with polish and optional soak-off, are priced for clients who want a classic service without gel.

Polish lines used at the salon are Zoya, OPI and Essie. For gel work, the salon uses OPI Gel and Gelish Gel. Soak-off is not a method for taking off hard gel, soft gel, dip, gel builder, acrylic, Apres Gel-X, polygel or Japanese gel. The salon does not offer acrylic nails, and it does not do polish changes on acrylic nails.

The business takes booking calls for wedding, party and event appointments. Online booking holds one person per appointment, so guests who want to be seated together need to book separate times. The salon describes itself as the premier nail salon in the Alameda area.

The salon emphasizes hygiene, with tools and equipment cleaned and sanitized after every client, files, buffers and pumices never reused, and a disposable liner used for each pedicure.
