I went in because I overheard all this laughter from waking out of my threading appointment next door. They are so friendly and do a really great job. Super local spot, they greeted customers walking in by name and just having a good time. Good vibes all around. I've found my new spot

I’ve been looking for a new nail salon after moving to the Bay Area and have tried many without satisfaction—- that changed today! Was able to schedule a same day gel manicure and pedicure with All About Nails. Sophie was so meticulous and I left finally happy with the shape/style of my nails. Pedicure was great too and the prices were the best in town. All the 5 star reviews about this place are accurate!

Best pedicure I’ve gotten in a while. The woman was very thorough (I even fell asleep on the chair) and my nails look amazing. This will be my regular shop from now on.

First time here and it was a great experience! Came with my boyfriend for a gel mani and pedi (he just got a pedi). They are all very polite and gentle. They even prolonged my boyfriends pedi to match the time it took for my mani/pedi. They did a lovely job and it's been 1.5 weeks since and both look nearly immaculate still. And I am in love with the color!! I will definitely be back.

This place is amazing! This is a regular manicure day 5 and it’s perfect. The people who work here are so kind and detail-oriented about their work. The prices are also unbeatable. Highly recommend.

After trying 10+ salons in Oakland, Ive finally found the one! I cannot stress enough the consistency of service and quality of the nails! Did I mention reasonable prices? The only down side is that they get busy, so book ahead!

They did a great job on my nails. I went in for a gel mani and regular pedi. The staff was super friendly helping me pick out colors that would match what I was looking for. Also not too expensive. I feel like these days I spend $100 on nails and this was only $70. Glad the tariffs haven’t hit them yet
