Fabulous manicures and pedicures. Hope (owner and only manicurist) is very nice and excellent at silk-type nails. I've been going to her for 3 years and wouldn't go anywhere else. Love her!!!

I love coming to see Hope. She always treats me with such sweetness and undivided attention. Her mani and pedi's are the best! They last forever! She also has a very big collection of polishes to choose from. I will never go anywhere else :)

Do you ever go to a business and think "Why didn't I start coming here earlier?!?" That is how I feel with Montclair Nails. I have been getting my nails done for years. Finding a place that does silk nails/wraps is harder than you can imagine. I used to go to a place in Public Market, that is now "The Lounge." They no longer do silk wraps. Searching for another place to get my nails done, I ended up at another nail salon in the Emeryville area. They did an OK job, but it was OBVIOUS the lady doesn't like to do silk nails. She kept telling me how time consuming it is, etc..etc. I realized that going back to her, especially since it took her over 2 hours to do a full set was not an option. On the hunt for a new nail salon I go, that's when I came across Montclair Nails. All the reviews I read of their's are 5-stars. I wasn't due for a fill for a few weeks, so that was going to have to be put on hold. Well, last night one of my nails broke (pretty common with a new set of silk nails). Around 11am today I called and spoke with Hope, she is the owner of Monclair Nails. She was very nice and said she could take me at 12:30pm (which ended up being during her lunch hour). I got there a little early, she took me right in, fixed the nail and did a MUCH better job than the previous nail person (or really any nail person I've had frankly). She wasn't even going to charge me anything, I had to give her something for basically giving up her lunch for someone who wasn't even a normal client. While my nail dried she speed ate a bowl of soup, before the next client arrived around 1pm. This is not your typical, large (cattle like) nail salon where they get you in & out as fast as possible and customer service isn't their strong suit. Hope is the owner/manicurist of the salon and its a small office/suite within a business building above Starbucks. She is VERY nice and prides herself on doing a great job. You really can't go wrong with her. As you can imagine, she is VERY busy. If you are interested in an appointment, especially a Saturday appointment, I recommend calling a week or so before you intend to come in and see her. She also works evenings. I have already scheduled my next appointment and am looking forward to seeing her.
