What nail services does Alcosta Nails offer?
Our nail salon offers pedicures, gel manicures, acrylic nails, silk wrap nails, and custom nail art. We also provide hair waxing services. Whether you want a quick polish refresh or something more elaborate, we've got you covered.
What is a gel manicure and how is it different from a regular manicure?
A gel manicure uses a special polish that's cured under a UV light, creating a glossy finish that lasts 2-3 weeks without chipping. Regular polish dries naturally and typically lasts about a week. Our team at Alcosta Nails can help you decide which works best for your lifestyle.
Do you offer acrylic nails and nail art services?
Yes, we do both. Acrylic nails are sculpted extensions that give you length and strength. Nail art lets us add designs, patterns, or decorative elements on top. We love creating custom looks - get in touch with us to discuss what you're envisioning.
What is a silk wrap nail service?
Silk wrap nails are a gentler alternative to acrylics. We apply thin silk fabric and resin to strengthen your natural nails without heavy extensions. They look elegant and feel natural while giving you added durability and length.
Does Alcosta Nails provide hair waxing services in addition to nail care?
We sure do. Hair waxing is part of our full-service offerings at Alcosta Nails in San Ramon, CA. You can get your nails done and handle hair removal all in one visit - that's convenience.
