Two of the women there are really nicen and care about their work BUT there is a 3rd woman who took over my mani. She was rough and was missing whole parts of nails and shushed me when I tried to tell her. This is them after 2 days. It wasn't a good experience for me as a walk-in. I'll probably take the polish off in a day and do it again myself.

I think they are good when they are open. They don't seem to have regular hours anymore. I've tried to call and get an appointment, but never get a call back. I've called several times and left several voicemails. Not certain why no call back, ever.

This place was an awesome experience on Christmas Eve. They were accommodating to work us in at the last minute and took extra time to do the pedicure right. Right down to color and some holiday touches for tasteful ornamentation

Lee's Nails is very clean and sanitary. Kathy and Sophia are great. I've been going to Lee's for over 10 years. I stop for a few months and gave other nail salons a try but came back to Lee's.

I wish I could leave a better review. The Lady was nice and accommodating but her skill level was low. I hear she has been there for over two decades, perhaps she is just burnt out and doesn't care anymore. This right here is what I paid $35 for. Discolored gel and very messy application

My feet and hands really needed some TLC after months of neglect. Cathy really took her time to make the colors pop and reshape my natural nails so that I can grow them properly. She was very friendly and accommodating. The place was clean and she made shower to maintain the cleanliness throughout the whole process. Definitely recommend this place, great customer services & was very clean.

Avoid this place. I had a lovely pedicure but the woman who did my manicure mutilated 3 out of 10 of my nails while she was doing my cuticles. One of them just wouldn't stop bleeding. Now I'm walking home with a band-aid, unevenly filed nails and three bleeding cuticles.

I used to be a regular here, and although I moved, I still come back when I am in the area. I've had consistently good service. The staff is sweet and have a good attention to detail. Yes, if they are busy it can take while (as stated in some of the reviews), but it doesn't seem significantly different than any other nail salon. The pricing offers good value and they try to serve you promptly if you have an appointment. I still recommend these guys after many years.

The lady doing my nails was so so nice and I really wish I could leave a positive review, but as someone that works in the same field, the service I received was very disappointing. The nail technician almost made it seem like my nail request was too difficult and what felt like was trying to get me to change my mind on my decision of what I wanted to have on my nails. The application was beyond sloppy. She used SO much acrylic powder and my nails are so thick and lop sided. The nail extension application it's self was poorly done. Most of the nails were applied uneven and cut and filed uneven. As she proceeded to apply the obsessive amount of acrylic powder, she told me to start loosening the edges buy peeling the sides of my nails away, while she worked on the other hand. I had acrylic powder everywhere and I am still trying to peel off the extra that is left on my skin. My nails physically hurt and not even sure where to begin with figuring out how to remove this set considering how thick this acrylic application is. There is no way my short acrylic nails should have taken almost 3 hours to apply. Please beware of this place.

I was glad to be able to see my Manicurist, Kathy, at Lee's Nails yesterday March 6, 2021! Kathy's Nail Salon is always Scrupulously Clean and more so, if possible, with Kathy's Enhancements. Kathy installed NEW Spa Pedicure Baths, Redecorated the Entire Salon, wore New Pink Overalls, and Stocked the latest Fashionable Polish Colors! Kathy ALWAYS knows the BEST Polish Colors that I should wear! I felt ENTIRELY SAFE from ANY potential Disease Hazard. I desperately needed my Manicure & Pedicure that I was able to have with Kathy yesterday. I was too long from my last Manicure & Pedicure which itself is very important for Hand & Foot Health!

BEST SALON OUT OF FIVE IN ALAMEDA I have been to five nail salons in Alameda. Lee's is by far the best. I got a mani-pedi there the other day and it happened that three different people worked on me. Each one was gentle and efficient and went the extra mile to trim every cuticle and apply the polish perfectly. They also gave me great color advice. In three other salons I went to, which will go unnamed, they just finished my services as quickly as possible. At Lee's Nails, they actually care. I highly recommend this place.

Got a manicure here late afternoon on a Friday. It wasn't busy, and they could take a walk-in immediately. There were a few people there, and they seem to be regulars. Never been here before and all the other spas on Park Street I've tried made me feel frustrated or taken advantaged of (except Nail Bar - that's an excellent nail salon). Tara was my manicurist, and she did a great job. I'm meticulous when it comes to cleaning and the polish itself, and Tara was one of the most meticulous manicurist I've had. Normally at other spas I'd have to ask to even things out and to clean polish that ends up on the skin and was missed. I didn't have to do that this time. Tara was also really friendly, and I enjoyed chatting with her like we were family friends. At one point, I made a comment about the nail color I picked, and she was intuitive and picked up that maybe I wasn't feeling it. I didn't even realize I wasn't feeling it. She was patient while I thought about it a moment, and I realized I didn't like it. She was happy to replace the color with another that I liked better (she was about 2 nails in). Also not once did she make me feel pressured to get gel or any add ons. I hate that and avoid salons that make me feel pressured to do more than what I came for. Cons: The polish has mostly kept for almost a week but one nail started chipping at day 5. One star down since the manicure took longer than expected about 1.5 hours. Lastly, the back area near the restroom was messy. The place could be a bit more organized and cleaner. I plan to come back again.
