Dublin Nails

I’m from out of town and I needed to get my acrylics done so I came here. I had to wait a little while until I was helped (didn’t bother me much). The whole process took about half the time it usually does which makes me think they weren’t very thorough. One of my nails cracked before he even started putting the acrylic power on. A lady came in and had booked an appointment with the man doing my nails. So he kept working on me until she threatened to leave then he passed me on to another girl. I asked for square with round corners which he didn’t do so I asked the second women to do it and she did a great job. My biggest issue is that the nails are crooked. I like them overall but if I lived here I probably wouldn’t go back

I’ve been here about 4 times. I’m trying to find a good place because I recently moved to the area. I feel like this place is hit or miss. The last time I got a pedicure here she seemed a little rushed. The nail polish oozed over to the side of my toe and I had to fix it myself when I left.

This was my first time here and I was pretty satisfied! The workers were so sweet and tried to make some conversation which was really cute. It was a little bit more pricey than what I usually pay at other places, but they did a great job on my mani pedi and in a short amount of time!
Update: my manicure started chipping the next day. It has been only about 4 days and half of my fingers all have chipped away… This was way overpriced for such a poorly done job.

They’re absolutely amazing here. I get my acrylics done by then and they always do exactly what I ask and make sure I’m happy with the shape and length; and if I’m not, they don’t act like its a huge drag to change it! They’re all very friendly, even if it’s your first time or you’re not a regular. The chairs are comfy, and they have really good ventilation so there’s never that overwhelming «nail salon» chemical smell.
They have one nail artist who is really skilled, and can do a bunch of designs. The equipment is very clean too, they have everything very clearly labeled and very well organized so I never question the sanitation of something.
They’re very accommodating with appointments. I can usually call the same day I want to come in, and they can schedule my appointment within an hour or two. They do take walk ins, but appointments naturally get priority and they seem to have a lot of them.
The prices are also EXTREMELY Fair and very consistent; I’ve had salons that seem to charge me all over the map for the exact same work, but here they always charge the same so there’s never any surprises.

Best pedicure massage ever in my life. Clean, detail oriented and they even changed the channel on the huge tv when I asked. I’ll definitely be back!

This time i got my pink and whites filled because my usual salon was too busy.
Service was good enough and nails looked great immediately after.
However, its been 1.5 weeks and 1 nail has completely come off (literally has never happened to me before), another is half off, and yet another is chipped (again, never happened before)
Considering i’ve been getting pink and white for over 13 years now and these are first time issues, I’m going to say its a sign of the salon and not go back. It makes sense now why my usual place was packed and this place took me as a walk in.

This business is all around a 5 star company! Never have I ever been to a nail salon with such reasonable prices and such a professional and welcoming atmosphere. I walked in on a Thursday morning and was seating right away with the amazing Tina. She started my Acrylic fill right away, after filing each nail she made sure I was happy with the shape/​length, and each time I had no complaints! If your a picky girl like I am about my nails you understand the rarity of not having a single complaint about a set of nails. I would recommend this nail salon to anyone and everyone, you will not be disappointed!

My daughter and I went in for the first time tonight. We both chose to go for acrylics, I was assigned to Tan and my daughter to Tina. I grew up in San Jose and had more than enough choices of nail salons, all more than competent. When it comes to acrylics, we have not been able to find a salon in this area that we like. Because of this I’ve just switched to shellac. Based on other good reviews here, we decided to try Dublin Nails. What a great experience. Tan is truly and artist when it comes to shaping and overall dimension. I like simple and realistic, that’s what he gave me. My 21 year old daughter was very pleased with Tina as well. We will definitely be going back!

Visited a few weeks ago as they were open a little later than my usual place (plus looking for something different). Either way, I think I was expecting something a little nicer based on the reviews. Pretty run down looking building and the salon wasn’t much better. Got a shellac mani and pedi. The overall experience was OK. The shellac was decent and has lasted like 3 weeks without chipping. I also liked how the technician gave my feet a thorough scrubbing during my pedi ;) The massage chair was INTERESTING to say the least. Never sat in a chair where they had massage rollers for your bottom LOL If you’re looking for ambiance, this is not the place. If you want quick and decent job, give them a try.

It was my first time treating myself to acrylics. Decided to go here after seeing the wonderful reviews. Tan did my nails and it looked beautiful! Just the way I wanted them to look like. Definitely coming here again!

I called to see if they were available. The man told me they were busy, so I could come in 30min. Fair enough. I did some short errands and came to the salon on time. No one was close to being done. I waited for 20min and left.
It was a wasted my time. If they were not available, just be upfront about it.

I don’t like to write bad reviews but the lady who was working on my feet was hardly paying attention to what she was doing. She was too interested on the monkeys on the television to notice that she had cut my toes nails too short. I mean I like hobbits but that doesn’t mean I want to be one. It was so short she pinched my skin when she cut it. The only reason I didn’t give this place one star was because the guy who did my nails did a good job. He was nice. She was uninterested in her job. Won’t be back at this place.

Tan did a great job! I’d say it is the best full set of acrylics I have ever received. He paid close attention to detail and made sure that I got exactly the look I wanted. I would definitely recommend Dublin Nails and will be a repeat customer. Make sure you bring cash for a tip!

I hate doing this…
My 5 stars for Anne still remain – she is awesome.
I’ve given Dublin Nails too many chances before finally updating this review.
The past 4 times I’ve gone in, I haven’t been able to get Anne. I’ve realized that no matter how slow they are, the technicians rush and really try to get you out of the door. It is NOT a relaxing experience at all. They make me feel anxious. Also, their prices just went up, and it’s NOT worth their quality of work.
The guy who did my shellac manicure messed up, had to redo them, and just gave me an «oh sorry.»
That was it. If I’m going to pay $ 70 for a shellac mani/​pedi (including tip) I’m going somewhere where I can relax, and actually get good work done.
Dublin Nails, you’ve lost a customer. Best of luck.

I came in this evening for the first time and I left feeling so satisfied. Very professional and pleasant!

Tan did an awesome job on my nails, I showed him a picture on Pinterest and he nailed it! I highly suggest going to him, he’s quick and does an awesome job! I will definitely be coming back here again.

Cons:
–barely cut my cuticles because she was rushing
–My lady filed my nails and barely took any time to check to see if it was uneven or rough on the outer portion.
–Gel was applied sloppy, it was on my skin
–She CUT ME and made me bleed on one finger and hurt me many times trying to cut my cuticles. She then applied some brown substance on my cut (to stop the blood maybe?)
–two nails were uneven
–there are little bubbles
–It stung really bad when she poured alcohol on my fingers (because of the cuts).
Pros:
–It was only $ 25 for shellac.
–They welcome walk-​ins and seat you quickly
–Some of the other ladies seemed friendly and one even seemed concerned with the way my lady was doing my nails. My sibbling’s nails looked cute after her manicure so I guess you have to find the right person there.
I might have been a little harsh with not tipping them but I feel like I wasted my money coming here considering I took the shellac off two days later. Why would I waste anymore $$? I have a small brown swollen scab under my nail now.

Great place! I walked in after work and they took care of me right away. The lady «Yoom» listened to the details I wanted and executed them perfectly! I got acrylics and it was my first time in years. She made me feel comfortable and didn’t go against any requests I had.
I definitely recommend this place! I would go during the weekdays if you’re in a rush though. They can get very busy.
Easy parking.

It’s pretty decent for the price — 30 bucks for mani and padi. Of course my finger nails only last a few days before the nail polish started to peel from the side (but that’s pretty typical unless you do the gel stuff) toes are still looking good after 2 weeks.
They are pretty fast too so 30 mins or less you are done, but it would be nice to get a longer arm and leg massage: p
The only annoying part is that they don’t have the lights for you dry your nails, so you have to sit on the massage chair for another 20 minutes afterwards.
Ps they have a good selection of nail colors to choose from: all OPI and Essie. :)

Who knew I would find this nail gem in Dublin?! So happy I did. Thanks to other Unilocalers, I called Friday morning to make an appointment with Thien for 5pm. I was running late but they said it was fine. They started in my pedicure immediately and the woman who did it did an AMAZING job! Then Thien came and began working on my nails. I got a full set because I wanted to try stiletto nails. I told him what I wanted and showed him pics of different designs that I wanted to combine… HE DELIVERED!!! My nails look awesome and I’m so happy with the results.
I’ll definitely be back for my fill-​in!
