04-2025 Queens Nails & Spa in List Best 19 Nail Salons in Concord, CALily Nail Salon - Pleasant Hill Maria Boukhval: First Visit Review: Professional Assessment
I recently visited this salon for the first time and would like to share my honest impressions. While I have high standards due to my European hospitality education, I aim to provide a balanced and fair review.
The salon benefits from a positive atmosphere largely due to Lilys energy and its convenient location. However, the facility itself is quite small, and although it offers multiple services, the equipment and systems seem outdated given the prices charged. Additionally, the option to pay with cash only is inconvenient for customers.
Here is a detailed summary based on a 10-point scale:
1. Quality of Service: 6/10
- Pedicure Deluxe Gel: $75
- The final look of my pedicure was good, and I appreciated Lily’s thoroughness in cleaning the nails. However, she seemed to be in a hurry, which affected the overall experience. I hope the results last at least a month.
2. Cleanliness and Hygiene: 5/10
- The salon appeared clean, but the chairs were old and uncomfortable. Having to use the same chair for both pedicure and manicure was not ideal, especially for someone with high standards in hospitality and comfort.
3. Professionalism of Staff: 8/10
- The staff are skilled, although their English proficiency is limited. The salon has an old-fashioned feel and could benefit from modernization.
4. Range of Services: 7/10
- The salon offers around 10 types of services with additional charges for extras. However, the service menu is poorly presented, printed on white paper and hung on the wall, which detracts from the overall professionalism.
5. Atmosphere: 6/10
- The atmosphere is better than other similar salons as there is less chatter. However, the space is small and shared with a hairdresser, making it rather loud without any music or TV to enhance the environment.
6. Price: 3/10
- The pricing is at or above market level with no special rates, discounts, or incentives for new customers. The deluxe pedicure with gel, including wax, salt water, hot stones, and a massage, costs $75. While this price is reasonable, it is not justified by the salon’s current standards. A manicure gel costs $32, and adding a flower design on one finger per hand costs an additional $10, which is quite expensive.
7. Appointment Availability: 9/10
- I was able to get an appointment for the day and time I wanted by calling the salon directly. However, there is no online booking system or website for reservations.
Overall Rating: 6/10
Conclusion:
Will I return? Most likely not. I look forward to a time when technological advancements can make salon services more enjoyable and relaxing, while also hoping for a more present and relaxed human interaction in the future.
All Perfect Nails - Concord Nancy Henderson: I’ve been going to an Andy for about 7 years his place is very clean and sanitary. Andy is very friendly and easy to talk to does exactly what you want done to your nails very happy every time I go in. Recommend calling for an appointment excellent service!!!
Concord Nails - Concord Casey Muffett: The lady who does nails in this place is fantastic. I had gotten my nails done 2 times at other bigger salons and they sucked this magic maker took off my old set without killing my nails put a whole new set on and they look fabulous she even did dip powder and it cost me under $60 this place is awesome great price and great nail lady.....
Naturally Nails - Concord Kristen Hulsey: I don’t regularly get my nails done, but I’ve become a repeat customer after discovering Naturally Nails! Jen is so easy to talk to and feels like talking to a good friend. I’m also shocked by how well done her gels are - they last ages and grow out before they ever show signs of peeling! Very reasonable prices too. I’m so glad Jen is around the corner from my new place! ♥️
Hi Tech Nails - Concord SeluF: Beautifully done Gel manicure. $30bucks.
Thorough and well done! I was a few doors down doing laundry and hesitated to come here because of the low ratings but decided to give it a go. I was not at all disappointed. On a Wednesday around 4 ish. I would definitely come here again if I’m in the area.
P.s I see now, there were only two people reviewing this before me.
Fabulous Nails - Concord yaneli balcazar: I’ve been going here for over a year now and have always left happy. My acrylics last me a long time even when I worked in a job that required a lot of physical labor. I always get Frenchtips on my acrylics and love them every time. Highly recommend going here.
Beauty Zone Nail Spa - Pleasant Hill Katherine Mullane: went in to get a gel manicure, the polish was applied way to thick and came out lumpy. the women doing my nails also cut my skin when trying to cut my cuticles and i left with my finger gushing blood. after less than a week my nails started lifting and polish peeling off, which pulled up and ruined my natural nails.
EZ Nails Salon - Concord Hosnia Hasani: I called at 5:15 to see if they could service me for a full set, thinking they closed at 7. It was Sunday & they still serviced me and didn’t make me feel bad about being the last customer! I stopped getting my nails done for a year because of terrible service, but I was happy to be taken care of by MIA & Helen! If Mia is not in charge, she should be!! Thank you thank you, I love my set
