A1 Nails

I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Best pedicure in town. The place is clean, staff is polite. The only place in Richmond I will go.

I would say it was an okay pedicure. She missed a few crusty spots. Sometimes I’m like how do you not see that crust it’s right THERE!!! In and out in a decent time. They need a better color selection. I don’t think I’ll make it my regular salon but a nice backup to the one I have.

i remeber why i stopped coming here this woman waxing like a crazy woman as if she is going through something in life that she hates cuz she going crazy on your chin. the worst thing most of all she waxed areas of my face that didnt have hair and charged me 15.00 oh yeah and she yelled at me for using the bathroom while i was waiting because i washed my hands in the bathroom. what ever problem she has with her bathroom she needs to put up a sign or somthing. normal people wash their hands when they leave the powder room.
she should not be in bussiness

Got mani, pedi and waxing here. was very satisfied with everything and Lee lee, Sally and Holly was sooo nice and welcoming to me. We talked and laughed a lot. I will be returning often. they also kept many photo books with photos of me which they share with their customers all the time

Do not get gel nails done here!!!
I went here because I was in the area and it was close by. They seemed busy when I walked in so I said I could come back later but the owner insisted they weren’t too busy and seated me. However, she was doing ten things at once and running back and forth between customers because she was the only one who knew how to do gel nails, which I found odd considering how popular and common they’ve become.
She finished my nails faster than I’ve ever had them done and as soon as I got home one had already chipped, and they were gel! I’ve never had gel nails chip before, even after I’ve had them for two weeks. I went back and she was nice about fixing the nails that had chipped but after getting them fixed, they started chipping again the next day! Like the review below, I saw the gel thinner on the table too so I’m not sure if they put something in their gel but it definitely is not the quality it should be. I feel bad because the owner is very nice but the quality of their work is terrible.

DO NOT COME HERE FOR GEL NAILS! I think they might water down the polish with gel thinner because my nails were so weak that they bent and cracked right in the middle of 4 nails. Not cool! I thought it odd that they were using a color chart from the company that sells the gel polish instead of an example. I also thought it was odd that the color didn’t match the chart. The color I wanted was magenta. The color I got was like pink with a slight purple tint. I also thought it was weird that they had a bottle called gel thinner sitting there too. Too bad… the ppl r very, very nice.

Walked in. Sat down. Man working there obviously was talking about me. Rude. Will not be back ever!

my feet were done «ok» but my hands were painted horrible! I only went to this place because I was on my lunch hour and needed my nails done for the weekend. The guy who did my feet was annoying, kept calling me mama and singing like an idiot. The first lady who did my fill kept buzzing me with that thing, and that hurts! My regular shop never hurts me or leaves me with cuts that sting! Ugh! Anyway the worst part was the second lady who painted my nails! She did a horrible job, getting polish all on the edges around the nail on my cuticle and the sides. Then she glopped on the top coat and walked away! I thought she was going to clean up the edges but no… she was done! So I said «you’re done»?! «Can you clean up this polish all over my skin»?! So another woman said «I help you» she tried to clean it up with a brush and acetone which felt more like acid! Anyway I tried my best to fix it at home, they still look like crap! Oh and before I left I showed the owner and he just laughed with his eyes closed and said «it’s fine, it’s fine, you wash hands later it will come off» ugh ignorant!!! Btw, while I was there a lady walked in with her eyelash hanging off and said she had just had them done there last week. The girl came up with every excuse why it might be her fault it fell off. I did see the lady get called in a back room so I assume they fixed it. This place is crap and I will definitely NEVER GO BACK!

I will never go here again. I’ve been in the past and I wasn’t pleased with my mani/​pedi. They cut me and used a solution that later caused my skin to be irritated. My family goes here so they get me gift certificates so I decided I go for an eyebrow waxing. Well, my first ouch was my wake up call. My second «Ouch» had me about to jump off the table. She shaped my eyebrows great however, she cut me in the process. I do not plan to yell «ouch» while getting my eyebrows shaped so I decided no more A1 for me.

NEVER AGAIN! I only went here because i was in the area and saw that they werent busy. As i walk in the lady doing the pedicure didnt even greet me and yelled out «pick a color» i shouldve known then. There was an asian man that said that he would help me i was skeptical but i sat down wuith him anyway. First thing he does is start bashing on the former client he had and how she didnt tip him and just went on about her. As he is speaking he spit on my arm, i was about to lose it. I put in my ear phones to stop hearing his rants and his horrible screaming/​singing. He started doing my nails and he was hurting me, i let him know and its like he got annoyed, but based off everyone elses reviews i am not the only one he hurt. he eased off and actually started doing a better job… basically not hurting me anymore the paint job was meh… he told me not to move my hands like 20,000 times i finally yelled at him like look this is not my first manicure sir alright im not going to hit the fan! i was praying for my nails to dry asap! i was ready to get out of there. Oh i forgot before he painted my nails he asked me to pay which is usually the norm he had the audacity to ask me for a tip. i normally give 5 but i gave him two for asking. i asked for my change and he took three even though i said you can take 2. i was like i need all my change sir. i grabbed my stuff and flew out of there never to look back at that horrible place if i could give zero stars i would. DO NOT GET YOUR NAILS DONE HERE!!! YOUVE BEEN WARNED FRIENDS

Went in to fix what I got done from another place they were fast and done a grate job at it. My new place to go to for a quick fix.

I’ve been going to this shop for about 10 years now. I recently moved to Sacramento so clearly I’ve had to get my nails done somewhere else.
Since my family lives there I was visiting and I went in to get a fill, the older guy who works there was quick to take me. He told me to stop getting my nails done in Sacramento because he does a better job. Mind you I love the way I’ve been getting my nails done in Sacramento.
He was trying to be funny and sing but it was really annoying and kept yelling. He was filing my nails very roughly and I kept taking my hand away because he was hurting me! Then he said he was done and told me to go wash my hands I took a look at my nails and saw that one was crooked! I asked him if he could fix it only to realize he was making it worse I told him to do it over because I didn’t like it. He then THREW THE NAIL FILER AT ME! And told me to do my own nails! I quickly got up and was ready to leave but Holly begged me to stay! Holly of course knows and admitted to my nail being crooked. He refused to apologize, he is so lucky I controlled myself because I was ready to throw the nail filer back at him and more. I ended up paying full price for everything and he had the nerve to ask for a tip. I hate to give them a bad review but they need to get it together because after that incident I’m more than likely never going to go again and neither are any of my family members.
If you do go make sure you refuse his services because he is the worst!

Terrible… Do not waste your time and money in this place. They rush and do a horrible job. I got my eyelashes done by Holly, bad idea, she is not using eyelash glue! The eyelashes she put on me hurt bad, so after two weeks none of them were loosening, I tried oil, vaseline, eyelash remover… nothing worked, needless to say the glue she used pulled out more than half of my real eyelashes!!! My new acrylic nails started breaking in one day, missing acrylic on the sides was the problem. Went back to get them fixed and they would not fix them properly, but still charged me. While I was there the second time, two more customers came to complain… one said her nails were cracking off in one day; the other customer, an older woman, just yelled from the front door that they did bad work.

Terrible!!! Terrible service, employees and place!!!
I went there to get mani because I live in the neighborhood. A guy after moping up the floor came to me and started to do my nails. I wasn’t sure if he is the cleaner or one of the nail «professionals» :(((
I wanted my nails done badly so I gave him a chance but when he started to cut my nails i didn’t feel safe anymore. he was unsure what he is doing then he started to file them with a ruff old nail file, leaving my nails uneven and the whole process was painful so I told him I changed my mind and want to leave. I asked him how much is a mani, trying to be nice and willing to pay half of it. Unfortunately I had $ 50 on me, a mani is $ 10 but he wanted me to pay the whole price so he gave me back $ 40. After 10 minutes of fighting and threatening them to call the consumer protection he gave me another $ 5 and I left.
Seriously people whats wrong with you??? I don’t even know how they can keep this business running??? I’m an esthetician I really do know how should a service look like.
Very bad experience and sad that these people are ruining the image of Beauty industry!!!
:(((((

Never again! !! My daughter and I got pedicures because our regular shop was super busy, bad idea. The polish was everywhere but the nails, very poor job! And definitely not worth the price. Had gone here before and now I remember why I stopped going. Never again!

I just got my acrylic nails and a pedi done in time for the holidays and it was really nice. I got Holly and she does it super fast. Make sure to let her know the length and how lightly she should buff your nails (she buffs really fast and hard). If there are any issues with your nails make sure to let her know so she can fix it, she fixed the length of my nails when I asked her to. They really want their customers to be happy.

great place to go to if you are in need of a fast fix!!!

I went here on a fluke and regret it big time!!! They are very dirty when went to get my eyebrows waxed they asked me to lay down on a dirty sheet that someone had just got off I asked her to change the sheet and she was upset that she had to, and started talking crap about me in her native language. I then looked around and noticed how the ladies doing nails were going from customer to customer with out washing there hands! Gross!!!

Dont come! This place sucks! Unprofessional! I walked in told the ladies I had an appointment and the lady said «okay» «are you Chinese?» No BITCH! Rude! They dont even clean their pedi tools! Yuck! The fill was ugly too! Hate this place. No stars!

I went to this salon about a year ago because it was close to my house. I went in for a pedicure and an eyebrow wax… What a mistake!
While the pedi was fine, the eyebrow wax was another story.
First of all, the wax was too hot. She put it on my eyebrow and I winced. So she blew on it to cool it down. She then proceeded to rip the wax off of my face. She then plucked the areas that she didn’t catch with the wax. Nothing like pulling hair out of burnt skin. I think she noticed my skin was burnt so to «make it better» she put rubbing alcohol over my eyebrows. What the hell!!! I should have reported them… I immediately ran to my car and saw red blistered skin where eyebrows used to be. I ran home and put ice cubes all over my eyebrows… what a mess…
