Review from Jennifer T.
Redwood City, CA
10/7/2007 1 Check-in Here
They are always busy because a mani-pedi is only $25,
Minus 1 Star because they only have 3 pedicure chairs and they have limited space to sit and wait..and that is why they always seem so busy.
I like that they take their time on the pedicures and really do a good job removing the cuticles, some places they barely touch your toes and you are left thinking what did I just pay for, a soak in hot water and a polish change? Not here, and they do a really good french pedicure...
They also do waxing...I went in one time during the day when they weren't busy, and got a mani pedi and needed a few places waxed and I literally had all 4 girls working on me at once! It was like a scene out of a movie, but hey they did a GOOD job and it was CHEAPP!!!! The waxing here is super dooper cheap!
And the best part of all is when they start to speak Vietnamese to eachother, I don't get the impression they are talking smack about my ginormous feet ...well maybe they are but they do it with a smile! -

Pedicure was cheap, only $18. It also included a 15-20 minute leg massage. Have been here a few times, always a friendly staff. The place is small and on the older side, but not a bad trade off for an inexpensive and well done pedicure.

I have been coming to Alex Nails for several years now. They have the most reasonable prices around. I usually pay 38.00 for a pedicure and a gel fill. Acrylic fills cost even less.
The employees are quick and pleasant and not too chatty or intrusive, one of my pet peeves. If it is not busy, they will have more than one employee work on you at the same time so you can get on your way sooner.
Only one drawback, the owner Nancy never says no to walk-ins and so people with appointments may come in and find that they get a late start because a walk-in is still occupying the station. -

HORRIBLE and cheap I am use to having my nails done the best they can be done and Alex Nails ruined my nails. After having them for 4 days they started falling off. Im WARNING you they are horrible and there salon is very dirty and trashy. I highly do not recommend. .

Small place but the ladies there are pretty nice. Last time I went I got my eyebrows done, french pedicure, and a gell set.
The lady that did my eyebrows was amazing! They looked great. She shaped them perfectly. But there was a time before when I went to get my eyebrows done here and they waxed them way too thin. But this last time I went I specified that I didn't want them too thin and they came out great.
My pedicure was done well by a different lady. I wish they would have scrubbed my feet more but I got the soak, normal scrub, lotion, and massage. They treated my cuticles with care.
Another different lady did my gell set and she did a really good job too. I have a problem with one of my nails where it doesn't grow straight but slightly curved from a previous accident I had and all the other places I have been to they placed the nail with the curve but as I started to tell the lady about my finger, she said that she knew what to do and she did. When it was all done, the way she placed the nail on my weird fingernail, it looked as if it never was growing curved, but identical to all my other fingernails. She treated my nail beds with care. I had no cuts from the process.
I called and made an appointment so I was worked on as soon as I got in the door. The prices are reasonable, on the cheaper side compared to other nail salons. Eyebrows were $10 and my gell set with white tip was $35. I think my pedicure was about $15. I know that they offer a mani/pedi special for $25. -
