About

VT Nails Spa is a neighborhood nail salon in Oakland.

The manicure menu runs from a basic service that includes trimming, reshaping, cuticle work, buffing, a warm lotion hand massage and a hot towel wrap, up to aroma and anti-aging options. The aroma manicure adds a scrub made with a salt blend of the client's choice, infused with essential oils and minerals. The anti-aging manicure uses a scrub followed by collagen gloves with shea butter, argan oil and vegetable oil, and the gloves are described as dual-layer biodegradable material that also offers some protection from UV light.

Gel polish is cured under LED light, and gel and dipping options are available, including dipping powder on natural nails and full sets with tips. Gel X manicures can be finished in an ombre, chrome, glitter or specialty collection for a $10 add-on. French tips are an add-on, and the salon's website includes a gallery of nail designs.

The pedicure menu is the largest part of the list. Most options are built around a soak, a scrub, a mask and a massage, using ingredients such as green tea, aloe vera, honey and milk, coffee, lavender, citrus, coconut oil, charcoal and volcanic crystals. The Luxury Pedicure, called The Honey Pearl, adds a collagen cream mask, a 15-minute massage, paraffin or collagen socks and callus removal. The Ultimate CBD Pedicure is the longest option, a five-step service with a volcano-themed soak, rose petals and lemon slices, a foot scrub and a 20-minute massage. Pedicures are performed with liner protection.

Children's manicures and pedicures are priced separately, with a children's pedicure offered for ages 12 and under. Special callus removal uses a natural removal product followed by a callus remover device on the feet. Waxing covers the face, underarms, arms, shoulders, back, chest, bikini, Brazilian and legs. The salon accepts cash and card. Clients who have a preferred nail technician are asked to call the salon directly when booking to request them.

The salon says it aims to satisfy every customer and has many years of experience. Tools are cleaned, sanitized and disinfected before reuse, and buffers and files are used once and then discarded.

The salon describes its interior as stylish.
