Femimacus Nails

Best nail salon around. I drive for miles to get there. Most of the staff have been there many years, and so have the customers!

They did a great on my gel mani/​pedi with design. I had a picture of what I wanted and they gave me exactly what I asked for. They use the ph bonding solution before applying the base coat and this is what keeps the nails on for the full 2 weeks. I’ve tried several other local nail salons searching for a place to go regularly, and this is by far the best. I will definitely be back!

Okay I almost don’t even want to write this review because I don’t want them to get overly busy and not have time for me!!!
Called last minute they took me in. Very small space I was nervous when I pulled up like ugh this is going to be horrible. Got a park right in front always a good sign for me though lol parking is two dollars.
As you can tell from my other reviews I don’t play like DO NOT PLAY when it comes to my nails/​customer service !
I arrived 30min early they were packed still took me did nails and feet at same time and did an excellent job!!!
Sue did my nails Kim did my toes massage was bomb the owner is amazing I honestly just love this place!!! I am so pissed I live in Dublin and now will have to drive but did I mention for a gel mani and pedi it was only 55 bucks including the take off !!
I’m in love I am happy my prayers have been answered!!!
No complaints!!!

I LOVE THIS PLACE! I got one of the best pedicures I’ve ever received here. It’s clean, the staff is very friendly, and they were able to turn my embarrassing hoofs into beautiful human feet. They do take credit cards, but it’s always nicer to have cash, especially for the tip!

I went here on the 18^th and 10 days later my nails look like I’ve had them for three weeks already and NEED a fill. Basically they didn’t put the acrylic as close to my cuticle as they could.
While jenny was still doing my nails she made an off hand comment to me while conversing with another costumer about how I «better not have any children yet and I need to wait.». Not only is that none of her business but I’m a 28 year old woman. I don’t care how young I look she shouldn’t assume anything and keep her comments to herself.
While shaping them my nail tech Jenny switched and the man, Lloyd, started working on my nails half way through. He re-​did everything jenny had done so I was there for soooooo long and had to put money in the meter a total of 3 times and was late leaving for my trip. He was so careless with my nails he made my cuticle bleed and I had to wait even longer for the bleeding to stop so she could apply the polish.
While he was doing my nails there was another costumer who was told she wouldn’t be charged for a little design and when she mentioned that to him he talked about her to me as if she just was being cheap and to «not get the service if she doesn’t want to pay». It’s not the costumers fault if the employees are promising something they shouldn’t be. He should have stayed professional and taken it up with that nail technician.
My thumb nail popped off the same day I got them done and now I’m noticing a crack on my other thumb nail. I got the first thumb nail fixed by another shop in stoneridge mall and surprisingly it looks soooooo much better. That will be my first and last time giving them any of my money.

What a wonderful cute little shop. Felt very welcomed today, Diane is a a master for coffin shaped nails. I was scared they wont come out well since i have been shop to shop and i think i found the one. $ 30 buck what a steal!
*cash is preferred here but still would take cards*
Pics below!

Came in here for the first time. I asked for a full set even though I already had nails on (I want fresh ones). I was attended right away even though I was a walk in (reason for one of the stars). The place looks really clean and is in a nice area (reason for the second star). And the ladies were nice (reason for my third star)
I asked the lady if she knew how to do an ombré design and she said yes she could, I even showed her a picture and she said she already knew. The results were not an ombré design, more like white flames. At least she tried. But as a business, it is important to let the costumer know at the beginning whether they can or cannot do something.
The second reason I did not give them another star is because I didn’t think the job was worth $ 50.

Tony and Paula did an amazing job on my coffin shaped acrylics. They took their time and soled off my old nails are really made the shape and thickness of my new set even.
Love this place.

Stumbled across this nail salon through Unilocal when trying to find a last minute nail salon in the current area I was in, they were kind enough to squeeze me into their schedule.
Jenny did an amazing job, she gave me the best shaped coffin nails! She was also so sweet and welcoming making me feel like she actually cared about her costumers. She greeted tons of her clients by first name when they walked in with a huge smile and everyone else seemed to love her as well.
I live about 15 minutes away from here but I can say I would definitely be returning here just based on how sweet Jenny was and how great her level of work was.

I am so impressed!
I came here, once before, and I agree with other reviews, so small and so congested.
BUT my nail color lasted sooooo long and I was definitely curious.
Well, last night at 6.55pm, i started looking for a salon open to do gel mani and reg pedi — i called and they said i could come right then, i turned up at 7.15 — i had the best mani/​pedi ever, and all done by 8pm…$ 45 TOTAL! (that includes gel too) plus they were so professional, really warm people and my nails look PERFECT!
I think what this nail salon does, (which in reality is a no brainer, but does take investment) they use quality products, i watched every product they used, i am talking top coat /​base coat too — they were not purple /​blue cheaper ”we buy in bulk” products, they were OPI etc.
Don’t hesitate, if you can look past the congestion, go!

I still love most of the staff at Femimacus but I definitely have to say, your experience will vary on who you get. I brought my mom with me for a manicure because I had such a great experience the first time, but we were both sorely disappointed by our manicurist.
She was an older lady with a poor attitude. She kept nagging me about my nails saying they were really weak and cutting them MUCH shorter even though I specifically said not to! I was already annoyed, but whatever.
Later on, I asked for a French and she rolled her eyes and told me my nails were TOO SHORT TO DO A FRENCH. And it would not look good. It’s fine if you tell me your opinion, but you have no right to FORCE me to do a manicure I don’t even want to do.
In the end, because she was being so bossy and annoying, I decided to go with a pale pink gel manicure, and to brighten it up by adding a litter nail on my ring finger. I picked a super simple design so she wouldn’t screw it up. I even showed her this picture for clarity ((
). She refused to do it because she kept saying it wouldn’t look good.
Instead of her own accord, she added some ugly glitter to the tips of my nail which made it look like a 5 year old had been painting my nails. EVEN THOUGH I HAD TOLD HER I DIDNT WANT HER TO. In the end, I was so frustrated with her, I just told her I just wanted a regular pink gel manicure with no embellishments.
She did a terrible job! She put like 5 coats of gel polish on my nails, and because it was so thick, they started warping right when I got home. She even had the nerve to scold me for being so indecisive about my nails. Um, I came into the shop asking for a gel French manicure, and you wouldn’t give me one. I showed you a picture of the pink and glitter gel manicure I wanted and you totally ignored it and drew some ugly glitter pictures on my nails. WHAT GIVES?!
Anyway if you get a horrible lady who has no respect for what you asked for, please avoid her immediately. Her attitude, her skills at doing manicures and her sense of aesthetic stink!
On the flip side I had a fantabulous pedicure, as usual.

I would give this place 5 stars but I had to wait over 30 minutes with an appointment. The price here is so good! I got a pedi and a gel mani with design for $ 45!!! The pedi was really good and service was great. Massage chairs feel like a real person. I will be back but I will make sure it’s on a week day and I have time to wait.

I have been getting my nails done at Femimacus off and on for the last 16 years that I’ve been living in Oakland. Tony and the girls there are very professional and all very sweet and patient.
There is usually a wait there even when you make an appointment, but the service and the quality of work they do is totally worth the wait!
I look forward to getting my mani/​pedi as well as my usual wax there! I highly recommend this place and any of the girls you get, you will be in good hands and leave with a smile on your face.
Kudos to Tony for running such a great business!

Love this place! I went to check it out because it’s right next to my house. Was not disappointed. Prices are fair and service is great!

I’ve been coming here with my mom and aunt since I was 3 years old, now I’m 20. When I come to Femmimacus I am put at ease because I already know that I am going to be taken care of by someone who knows what they’re doing, takes excellent direction, and prides them self on customer service.
Pros:
–quality mani/​pedi (& wax!)
–lovely ladies who listen when you give directions (special shout out to Jenny, Amy, & Anne!)
–if you your nails chip or something a few days after you get them done you can always come back and ask them to fix it, they will happily do it free of charge
–CLEAN!
–Does not stink with chemical fumes!
Cons:
–Parking can be hard to find
— they’re usually busy so expect a wait if you come during the weekend or after 4 on weekdays. Just call ahead and make an appointment!

Was sooooo desperate to find a shop that closes late, since I get off work @ 7. They were very accommodating as my appointment was @ 730 on a Saturday night. The location isn’t optimal since it’s only street parking.
This nail shop is cute and narrow. On the left are the salon chairs for the pedicures and directly on the right are the manicurist chairs & tables… And small isle for people to walk up and down.
I didn’t catch the name of my manicurist, but she was nice– very attentive to my nails, making sure all my nails were even length and nicely shaped, which I appreciated. She did give me her opinion on how «weak» my nails are and how I should «take a break» from gel nails… But too bad, I’m not.
15 $ for a gel color and trimmed cuticles. NOT BAD AT ALL. I’m a happy camper.

There is always a line out the door and the customers inside are all super loyal and have been coming here for years. yet, I can’t figure out why. The service is OK, but not amazing. It is super crowded and feels like an assembly line. We called for a reservation and they definitely didn’t have a spot ready for us when we arrived, we were there for almost two hours, about half the time we were waiting.
If you are looking for a place to get your nails done on Park, they will do them here, they will turn out fine, but personally, I am going to go a couple of doors down, where they carry five free polish, are friendly, efficient, and give super long massages.

Amazing service and job! I called to make a last minute appointment and they took me in right away. The space is kind of tight but creates a fun environment where everyone is included in every conversation.
The owner is extremely nice and did all that he could to accommodate me including putting more money into the parking meter!
Ivy was awesome with my french toes and Kim is literally the best at the French gel polish!
If I’m ever in the area again, I will definitely be back!

Decided to give Femimacus a second chance due to pure convenience of it being down the street from my house. Worse decision ever. The older woman with glasses and long curly hair was such a novice at doing gel manicures. For starters, she didn’t put on the bonding coat before the base coat, and when I told her, her response was «Oh, good thing you told me, or your nail polish would’ve just came off later». Uh okay, good think I wasn’t reading a magazine and was paying attention to what she was doing. After she was done, she gave me a short uneventful hand massage and then said «Okay, I’m done». I looked at her confused because she still haven’t filed my nails or removed all the nasty gunk from the side and underneath my nails. At that point, I just got up to wash my hands, paid and left this disappointing establishment. I didn’t want to waste anymore time at this cramped and uncomfortable «salon». Ended up filing the rest of my nails when I got home. I knew I should’ve stuck to my regular salon on Grand, but promise I won’t be lazy next time to drive the extra mile for better service and skills.
Never again Femimacus, can’t fool me twice!

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING !! My nails turn out awesome I got acrylic they didn’t have to many gel colors but definitely would make this my REGULr spot
Come before 3 gets pretty packed after that
