About

The Nail Therapist is a San Leandro hand and foot spa run by owner and licensed manicurist Kanika Ashford. Visits are by appointment, and the studio is closed Mondays, Tuesdays and Sundays.

The menu runs from simple natural nail manicures and steam bath pedicures to longer combinations that include snacks and a complimentary beverage. Pedicures can be finished with a gel polish, and the spa also offers stand-alone foot spa treatments for clients who want the steam bath without a polish service. Add-ons such as paraffin dips, Relaxology massage and nail art can be added to a visit when booked at the same time.

For nail strength and length, the spa offers builder gel overlays, hand-sculpted PolyGel full sets, and PolyGel fill-ins at three, four or five weeks. For toenails, it offers non-acrylic reconstruction and the Magnet Brace System for ingrown nails, which begins with a consultation before booking.

The business describes its service as one-on-one and tailored to each client. It also sells its own foot care and skin products, along with several outside brands, and it lists its shipping, exchange and sales policies on the site.

Services are personalized, with one-on-one attention and treatments built around each client.
