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?

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.

Gel is polish cured under a lamp, dip is a powder system, and acrylic builds length and strength. Each wears differently, so a good tech will recommend one for your nails.
