About

V Best Nail Art is a Berkeley nail salon focused on custom nail art alongside Gel-X and Builder Gel work. The homepage highlights these three areas, and the service menu runs from basic manicures and gel pedicures to extensions, repairs and removals.

Clients who are not sure what to book can send an inspiration photo through Instagram, TikTok, WeChat or text message. The salon replies with a recommendation and a price estimate before the appointment. Inspiration photos are welcome, though an exact match to a design cannot be guaranteed.

Booking works by texting the salon. A $20 deposit, paid by Zelle within 30 minutes of requesting a time, holds the appointment and is applied to the final total. Deposits are not refunded for no-shows or for cancellations made within 24 hours. Final pricing can shift with nail length, design complexity, charms, accessories and appointment time.

Hours are Wednesday through Sunday, 11:00am to 7:00pm. Listed prices are cash or Zelle discount prices. Complimentary removal is offered when a client gets a new set at the salon; removal-only visits are charged at the listed removal rates.

Designs and service choices are matched to each client through inspiration photos and a price estimate sent ahead of the visit.
