Golden Nails Castro Valley

I saw this place have good reviews so I decided to try this place . I want to do my nail for valentines not even 24 hours yet my nail was peeling and crack like in the picture I’m very disappointed I have valentines dinner tonight. Paid $60 plus $10 tips. It’s not worth it at all. Very bad quality I’m not recommending to go there! Another thing is they scrub my feet 🦶 with sandpaper tools is cut my feet I’m not coming back !!

Don't even want to give one star of ranking if I can. Very disappointing experience. The technician who did my gel pedicure clearly lacked basic nail skills. The white polish was applied unevenly, several nails were not fully covered, some polish was painted outside the nail edges, and the nail shapes were not properly filed. The final result looked sloppy and unprofessional. When I pointed out that the polish was uneven and not covering the entire nail, he repeatedly asked whether I didn't like the color, completely missing the issue I was trying to explain. Instead of removing the polish and fixing the underlying problem, he simply added another thick coat on top, which did not solve the issue. In addition, I paid for a gel pedicure service that clearly included a "5-minute massage." However, there was no actual massage at all. He only applied a small amount of oil briefly, and the entire process lasted less than two minutes. This was not the service that was advertised and paid for. As the second day of my pedicure done, my right little toes nail polish already peeled off. For a professional nail salon, this level of workmanship and service is unacceptable. I am extremely disappointed with both the quality of the pedicure and the lack of professionalism. 200% I will not be returning.

Really nice and clean establishment. Very accommodating and they offer beverage. Helen did my acrylic manicure with 3D design and Holly did my gel pedicure. Both were very attentive to details and made sure I was satisfied with the outcome. Overall a great first time experience and will definitely be back.

One of the only nail shops in Castro valley that does soak offs when removing acrylic sets. Helen did an amazing job on my first builder gel sets! I was very pleased with my experience. Prices are reasonable and the place is super cute. I look forward to going again🥰 …

Golden Nails did an amazing job on my fiancée’s French nails! 💅 They came out super clean, elegant, and perfectly shaped. The staff was really friendly and took their time to make sure everything looked perfect. The salon was clean, relaxing, and had a nice atmosphere. Definitely recommend this place if you want quality work and great service!
