Traci's Nails — Local services in Oakland

I usually don’t write reviews, and honestly, if I could, I wouldn’t even bother rating this business. I’ve been coming to this nail shop since last year—at first just for pedicures. The quality has noticeably gone downhill since then. I’ve had different techs work on me, and it’s clear who’s still learning versus who actually has years of experience.

The ladies do nice work but we’re a bit flustered and could work on minor customer service things but overall it’s...

Very disappointed in this place. Last week I went to get chrome nails done. My usual place was closed so I tried Traci’s. I left and my nails were already chipping. Normally chromes last me 3 weeks - my nails grow out before the chrome ever chips. I went back the next day, and was touched up. But really, they should have just redone the whole thing. Within a day after the touch up, I was chipping massively. I came in today to have them taken off because they were really ugly. Chipping, peeling, gross. And they charged me $5 for take off and even cut my cuticle till I bled on my thumb. I won’t...
