They are very friendly and they take their time while they give you a really good pedicure. It's spacious and clean. They patiently do my 97 year old mom's mani/pedi. My pedicure was through and she scrubbed them very well. I felt relaxed there.

BEST manicure and deluxe pedicure of my life. I just wish the pedicure chair had the massage function. Still ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

SOOOOOO happy that Sara's is back open!! It was always a clean and well-run shop, however, they've taken even more precautions to protect everyone from the spread of COVID.

Bebe and Susan are wonderful silk nail technicians (my regular service) but everyone there is highly skilled. Plus there's free parking!!

I have followed this business through three locations. I really like the woman who gives me pedicures. But last week when they opened again I went to pay my bill and was told the price was now $28, not the previous $23. I wasn't told of the price raise when I booked the appointment. I am in business for myself and give my clients a month's notice before I raise their rates. I don't know if the new owners have ever run a business before, but integrity is not their middle name. She didn't offer to let me pay the old rate this time. This will definitely cut into what I tip the

Update! I now live about 40 minutes away and guess who still makes time to meet friends at Sara's Nails at least once a month? That's right! This gal! They are always just excellent. Every time I go out of town and get talked into getting my nails or toes done anywhere else I always seriously regret it! They are knowledgeable, kind, and honestly since I started taking proper care of my feet I've never felt better!

Literally came back just to write a bonus review because I've lived out of that neighborhood for over 5 years now and they're still my favorite Bay Area

I've been going to sara's nails for the last 10 years now. They are amazing, always do a great job and are affordable. Every time I've tried to go to different places I'm always disappointed and keep coming back. I highly recommend it!

I love getting my lashes and nails done as I've been seeing Uyen for the last 3 years. She is the best when it comes to lash extensions and silk nails. I switched to acrylic & gel nails and Shirley is really fast and free hands many cute nail designs. Everyone is very friendly and prices are reasonable. Glad I discovered Sara's Nail Salon

Sara's Nail Salon is an excellent nail salon. They consistently provide quality service and always strive to accommodate last minute appointments. I've been coming to the salon for the last six years since moving to the area. The lash extensions which are handled by Uyen one of the owners are great! I've received numerous compliments every time I get them. I recommend this salon for any nail or lash service.

I made an appointment at Vivian's nail salon right down the street. I get there and she forgot to put my appointment in the book. I went to Sarah's they took me as a walk in and treated me like family. I let them know that my mother had been coming to them for years. They did a fabulous job and they even let me pre-pay. The salon is absolutely spotless. Very happy client.

Pros:
Jan. She's very professional and a sweetheart. I've been a mani/pedi client for over seven years. I'm very basic when it comes to my nails. I don't get gels, designs, etc. I like my nails very simple and short. Sometimes she talks me into getting a polish I'd never choose on my own and I'm never disappointed when I take her advice. My feet are terrible and I always feel like a new person after an appointment with her.

Ve. Always very professional and kind on the phone. Her clients love her designs and nail color combinations.


The salon is well lit, spacious

The woman who did my nails was really nice and it was nice but it's been a week and my nails popped off I mean I'm not too roughy with my nails all I do is type but the popped off. So I go in because it is Sunday I tell her I was in last week and she instantly responded with no I've never seen you she said you might think down the street as if I don't remember where I walked in. Then vee asked me what happened I told her they popped off cooking, and asked me did I wear gloves like gloves makes a difference when the damn nails are loose they should not come off this easy. And

Today I walk-in to sara's Nail salon I am continuing customer. I was on the phone talking to my son's autism Doctor I was talking softly. A woman who is doing nails she has long hair and wear glasses that has black frames all of a sudden started yelling at meyou on the phone get outside and talk. I couldn't believe she spoken to me like that. I was talking to the doctor. After I got off the phone I looked around for signs saying no cellphone. I didn't see any. I asked kindly you have time to wax my eye brows she was being very rude and snotty to me saying she has no appointments

Quality, long-lasting gel nails!!!!!
After driving 5 hours from faraway, I found rockstar parking right in front and Sara's could graciously see me right away.
Went for the self-love splurge of pedi AND gel set...
Woman esthetician was so great! Worth every penny. I got OFF my phone and just reeeellaaaxxxed...
gel nails lasted a month w. minimal scratching.
( the set I had after that from an inferior place scratched the next day).

Thank you Sara's

Lovely staff, love the finish work of my toes, usually don't go to this nail shop, first time, thought about giving it a try and it was okay. This would be a place I'll come too when my first choice is packed.

Ever since the first time I went to Sara's, I realized I could never get my nails done anywhere else! From the far my best experience at a Nail Salon!
Super recommend!

I've been getting my nails and toes done at Sara's for over 25 years. I get silk wrap for my extremely thin and weak nails. Now I also get gel polish which is very durable. They have over 400 colors to choose from, but will combine colors to suit your taste. I also get a regular pedicure every six weeks. The massage chairs are wonderful! I highly recommend Sara's Nails!
