Frequently asked questions

How much does a manicure or pedicure cost in Oakland?

In Oakland, a classic manicure usually runs $20 to $40, a gel manicure $35 to $60, and a pedicure $35 to $75. Dip, acrylic, and nail art cost more.

How long does a gel or dip manicure last?

Gel typically lasts about two to three weeks and dip powder three to four, versus roughly a week for regular polish. Ask your Oakland tech what holds up best for you.

Are Oakland nail salons licensed and sanitary?

Reputable salons and technicians are state-licensed and either sterilize tools or use single-use ones. Clean stations and fresh files are good signs to look for.
