Rock & Polish 127 2nd Street, Oakland, CA 94607

"Square GelX Deep French on the hands, Square Gel Matching French (with GelX Extension on left big toe to make more square) on the feet. My go-to look and I’m glad to find a salon that does this type of French. Including removal of prior polish on both hands and feet, extension on 1 big toe, and longer length on hands, it was all about $160 + tip. Lasts anywhere from 2-4 weeks. +Relaxing music plays +They took me as walk-in the first time and next-day appointment the second."

"I've been coming to Rock & polish for almost ten years (ever since I moved to Oakland) and absolutely LOVE the experience and the staff. Tina always takes extra care of my challenging toes (from multiple bicycle accidents I have crooked and damaged toes) and gives the most amazing massage. Lang and others are equally as caring and skilled. I would highly recommend booking your service with Rock & Polish today!"

"Honestly. Idk what to say about this place. They take you in but have a tendency to overbook clients. It took the pedicurists 2 hours to do my pedicure. 2 hours. 2 hours !!!!! I asked for square shape, my request was ignored. The polish was also also lumpy. I was called a few hours later and informed that I didn’t pay even though I paid and had a receipt. She apologized and said she mixed me up with someone else. This is the second time I’ve had an annoying experience. They have the potential to be great but keep missing the mark."

"This salon is easy to find. Parking around the area is free too. I got the shellac mani and the signature pedi combo. My experience was super relaxing and I thought they did a nice job. Also, I didn't feel rushed while I was waiting for my nails to dry. I really appreciated that. Thank you!"

"This place is so convenient from where I live. I tried this place twice now, first one for a pedicure and then my second time for a pedicure and gel extensions. I go see Kim and Nancy for my mani and pedicure needs. They are detailed and good at what they do. They take their time so I appreciate that. I usually get acrylic nails done but seeing what they do to my nail beds I decided to stop. When I found out they offered soft gel nail extensions, I was intrigued. I finally went in today to get them done and all I can say is that they look great. They feel great as well and I didn't have to sit through smelling all those strong chemical fumes when you would get acrylic nails done. They look natural and aren't heavy on the hand. They just feel like your own natural nails. They are a little bit more delicate than acrylic so you do want to be careful when because they'll bend. When the gel extensions are taken off your real nails do not get damaged in the process. The nail bar is very clean. It doesn't have any massage chairs, but I'm totally fine with that because their attention to detail is what matters the most to me. They're always so welcoming every time I come into the nail bar. Like I mentioned it is very convenient especially if you do live in the apartments or condos across the street. They have plenty of parking in front of the nail bar as well. The pricing is a little high, however like I mentioned it is very convenient to me so I don't have to drive anywhere or look for parking. I definitely see myself coming back here regularly. I would say if you're looking for a good nail bar, you should definitely get this place a try."
