Lily Nail Salon is a quietly inviting spot on Oak Park Blvd, catering to anyone looking for a well-rounded nail care experience in Pleasant Hill. This salon stands out for its clean, calming atmosphere where clients tend to feel genuinely cared for—not just rushed through an appointment. The salon strikes a nice balance between professional precision and a down-to-earth friendliness that makes it easy to return time and again.

The team at Lily Nail Salon offers a solid range of services, from gel manicures and acrylic nails to pedicures and intricate nail art. Locals often appreciate how appointments tend to run on time with minimal wait, an important detail when squeezing in some self-care between busy schedules. Whether you're stopping by for a routine manicure or looking to try a new nail color or design, the staff’s attentiveness ensures results that last and look polished.

Regulars seem to connect not only with the quality of the treatments but with the personalities behind the polish. Lily herself is often described as personable and approachable, making each visit feel more like catching up with a friend than a clinical appointment. This contributes to a relaxed vibe you might expect from a neighborhood salon where customers feel welcome to linger, chat, or simply enjoy the subtle massage and exfoliation treatments that come with many pedicures.

If you’re someone who values a combination of technical skill and friendly service under one roof, this spot fits the bill. The environment is quiet enough for a little downtime, making it a suitable midday or early evening stop. It works well for locals who want their nails done with care but without the fuss or pretense often found in larger city salons.

In essence, Lily Nail Salon is best for Pleasant Hill residents who see nail care as more than just maintenance—it’s part of a routine that leaves them feeling cared for and confident. Whether it’s your first visit or your tenth, you’ll likely leave with strong nails and a sense that your time was well spent.

I’ve been going to Lily for over a decade and she is truly phenomenal. She’s incredibly talented, consistent, and always does an amazing job. On top of that, she’s so sweet, funny, and personable, every appointment feels like catching up with a friend. Her energy is always positive, and I leave happy every single time. I wouldn’t trust my nails to anyone else. Highly recommend Lily!

Lily and her staff are amazing. Always make time for you with very little wait. Manicure and pedicure last a long time and the experience is dreamy. So relaxing, scrub and massage. I highly recommend their services. They do it all! A+++

I had such a lovely time at Lily Nail Salon. I went in for a gel manicure and it turned out beautifully! My nail tech Lily was so kind funny and attentive. She really took her time and made sure everything looked flawless. Was feeling very embarrassed about the condition of my feet and she was reassuring and made me feel more confident. The salon is super clean, relaxing, and has a calming vibe. I appreciated how gentle and precise they were with shaping and polish. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for quality service and a great atmosphere. Can’t wait to come back!

I have been to Lily's twice and this second time got a gel manicure and gel pedicure. Both were excellent! Lily runs a great business. She (and her staff) take customers right away. I called ahead 30 min before but I saw some walk-ins and they were also taken right away. The service was extremely fast but thorough. It was because they did my mani and pedi at the same time. I was out in about 45 min. The quality of the work was also excellent. It's now been almost two weeks and both still look good. The setting is a little outdated but that doesn't undermine their work. I'll definitely be coming back. Update: my only complaint about Lily's is with each subsequent visit, my nail health seemed to get worse. The gel they use is very strong which is good for long-lasting, but bad when you want to remove it without ruining your nails. Even when they removed it to give me a new set, they pretty much took the top layer of my nails off. I guess that's true for most salons who are not innovating with healthier practices.

First Visit Review: Professional Assessment I recently visited this salon for the first time and would like to share my honest impressions. While I have high standards due to my European hospitality education, I aim to provide a balanced and fair review. The salon benefits from a positive atmosphere largely due to Lily's energy and its convenient location. However, the facility itself is quite small, and although it offers multiple services, the equipment and systems seem outdated given the prices charged. Additionally, the option to pay with cash only is inconvenient for customers. Here is a detailed summary based on a 10-point scale: 1. Quality of Service: 6/10 - Pedicure Deluxe Gel: $75 - The final look of my pedicure was good, and I appreciated Lily’s thoroughness in cleaning the nails. However, she seemed to be in a hurry, which affected the overall experience. I hope the results last at least a month. 2. Cleanliness and Hygiene: 5/10 - The salon appeared clean, but the chairs were old and uncomfortable. Having to use the same chair for both pedicure and manicure was not ideal, especially for someone with high standards in hospitality and comfort. 3. Professionalism of Staff: 8/10 - The staff are skilled, although their English proficiency is limited. The salon has an old-fashioned feel and could benefit from modernization. 4. Range of Services: 7/10 - The salon offers around 10 types of services with additional charges for extras. However, the service menu is poorly presented, printed on white paper and hung on the wall, which detracts from the overall professionalism. 5. Atmosphere: 6/10 - The atmosphere is better than other similar salons as there is less chatter. However, the space is small and shared with a hairdresser, making it rather loud without any music or TV to enhance the environment. 6. Price: 3/10 - The pricing is at or above market level with no special rates, discounts, or incentives for new customers. The deluxe pedicure with gel, including wax, salt water, hot stones, and a massage, costs $75. While this price is reasonable, it is not justified by the salon’s current standards. A manicure gel costs $32, and adding a flower design on one finger per hand costs an additional $10, which is quite expensive. 7. Appointment Availability: 9/10 - I was able to get an appointment for the day and time I wanted by calling the salon directly. However, there is no online booking system or website for reservations. Overall Rating: 6/10 Conclusion: Will I return? Most likely not. I look forward to a time when technological advancements can make salon services more enjoyable and relaxing, while also hoping for a more present and relaxed human interaction in the future.
