About

Puffin Nails is a nail salon in Concord, California, and it was founded in the city. The stated aim is to make a salon visit a bright, restful part of the week. The studio is sunlit and calm, with plush seating and soft music playing.

Pedicures are the core of the menu. A classic pedicure takes about 35 minutes and includes a short massage, a sea salt soak, grooming, a light sugar scrub and a hot towel finish. The deluxe range runs from 60 to 90 minutes, with each named pedicure carrying its own massage length, and Lavender Extreme adds a hot stone massage. Gel versions are available for most pedicures. Prices are listed for cash and for card, and card prices run slightly higher.

Manicures range from a classic polish service to gel or Shellac, which includes complimentary gel removal. BIAB, a gel overlay the salon describes as strengthening, includes removal and shaping. Gel-X extensions, builder gel and dipping powder are offered as enhancements, each with complimentary removal along with shaping or cuticle care.

Nail art is a large part of the offer. Add-ons include chrome, French, cat eye, ombre, 3D designs, charms, stones, extra length and simple or complicated art. The salon says it specializes in complex, trend-driven work, including 3D gel art and glazed chrome finishes, and that its technicians are trained in current global nail trends.

Group pampering is available for birthdays, bridal parties, proms and corporate or work rewards. The salon says it welcomes neighbors and friends for group visits as well as everyday appointments in Concord.

Focuses on hygiene, with single-use buffers, files and basin liners for each client, fresh liners for every pedicure soak, and metal tools sterilized in autoclaves. The salon says its polishes and gels are non-toxic and protect natural nails.

A sunlit, calm studio with plush seating and soft music.
