Review from Jeffrey C.

This is my first review on Yelp, and it was prompted by the amazing service at Four Seasons Nail Salon!
I was greeted by Kimmy and her son, both of whom were very attentive and kind. I waited a few minutes for Kimmy to finish up with her client and was seated at the pedicure chair while I waited.
Kimmy then gave me the best pedicure I have ever gotten! She was super gentle, but very detail oriented in making sure that she did a great job. I was very impressed and cant wait to go back to get a haircut as well! -

Several reviews here speak of Kimmy's very friendly and personal style. This is what takes a salon that does all the basics - well, mind you - from four stars to five.
As far as quality of work goes, I can only speak to what I've got there - several variations on a boy cut. Kimmy had me in and out in no time, with a great cut, some styling advice and a shoulder/neck massage. What's not to love?
She kinda makes me want to try a mani-pedi. After all, if it's good enough for Raiders coach Hue Jackson, why not me? (Serious, look it up for an amusing picture.) -

Amazing service. I called 20 minutes after they were closed and Kimmy said to come on down. :)

This place is great! Great prices, great service, great people! This is my go to place. I would post a pic, but I am shy. =o) $10 is a great price for a great product. The owner cuts your hair just they way you want it and is very friendly. She also pays you tons of compliments to make you feel like the prettiest bell at the ball! Haha... I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a high and tight. I can't speak for any of the other services because I have never had any of them. The owner gives a mean shoulder massage too. I think they should set up some extra tables!

Kimmy is the best- she will do it all! Nails, eyebrows, hair, skin. Super clean and peaceful environment. Kimmy goes above and beyond to provide exceptional customer service! Kid friendly even!!!

I was lucky to find this salon. At first I was just going to get waxed, but then I realized I could get a manicure and pedicure and an eyebrow "threading"- (which I had never had before) and still be done in time to pick up my grand children from school. The 3 people who worked on me were friendly and skilled. I was able to give generous tips and still leave with a smaller total than I would have had at any other place I have gone. I plan on going back.

My friend took me here for my birthday. We went out of our way to go here because of the reviews... she made an appointment for 2 of us on a Saturday and they did not have enough staff to do us at the same time (there was only 2 ladies in there). It took so long for her to get to me, the water in my spa on my feet was cold. Then I wanted crackle paint on my toes, but she didn't do it right so I chose another plain color because it would have taken too long to dry again and I had closed toe shoes because it was cold.
The second lady that finally finished and came to do my nails kept snagging the skin on the side of my fingernails when she was filing... to the point where my nails were still sore 4 days later on half of my fingers, and I have a scab next to 2 nails!
And to top it off we saw a mouse scurry across the floor.
To say the least, we will find another salon next time! -

Four Seasons is a great nail salon!
Everyone is so warm and hospitable, and do great nails.
Kimmy recommended the shellac gel polish and it's amazing! My nails look so natural and strong with just a coat of this amazing formula! If it wasn't for her, I would have gotten acrylics which are terrible for your nails.
This is an amazing little salon, without the pretentiousness of expensive boutique salons, with the same talent and quality.
Thanks Kimmy and crew! -

I come to 4 Seasons spa every two weeks like clockwork. The service is so amazing, and the ladies are very genuine and kind. The salon in very very clean, and Kimmy's prices are the best in Berkeley. Believe me.. After moving to Berkeley from France, I had pretty high standards and wanted to find somewhere I could afford even while looking for a new job :-Z.. This place is great and I will not switch!
From nails to waxing to haircuts, they are very professional and the quality of all their services is amazing. We all know that getting a wax in a nail salon can be sketchy, but they definitely know what they are doing!
6 Stars!! -

I am so glad Four Seasons Nail Salon opened up in my neighborhood!
The salon is gorgeous and very clean. I love the new pedicure spas and the colors on the walls; it lends to a very vibrant and relaxing experience.
I've gone to many nail shops in my time but this salon is different in so many ways. Kimmy is very hard working and offers excellent customer service. She takes the time to communicate and get to know you. She made me feel at home right away!
I took a chance coming here for my mani/pedi before my wedding day but she took great care of me. Lorna her assistant is very talented and did a very beautiful design on my big toes, partly due to Kimmy's smart suggestion to help hide a chipping nail. It ended up beautiful and did the trick.
I also learned about shellac manicures here which are a great option if you don't want gel or acrylic and want your nails to last.
I also got my underarms waxed for the big day and that went well.
I am definitely a regular and HIGHLY RECOMMEND Kimmy for all your needs. -

First time in this new salon and it's very nice. The owner, Kimmy, is very friendly and makes everyone feel comfortable. She's also experienced and is good at what she does. All of the customers I've seen, including myself, says that she does a great job and am satisfied.
If you're not happy with the cut or work then she'll fix it to your liking, and to me that is VERY important that the customer is satisfied, something that she understand and agrees with also.
I highly recommend Kimmy's salon to anyone especially if you're in the area, dropping by, or am looking for a different/better salon. -

I had some time to kill on a Thursday afternoon and Four Seasons got good reviews so I tried it out. In one sentence - you get what you pay for.
Pros: The salon was clean and totally empty - I was literally the only customer in there. Kimmy did my nails and told me about the shellac but didn't try to oversell and she definitely wasn't pushy, which I appreciated. She also worked her magic to open a bottle of nail polish I wanted to use that was stuck and wouldn't open. The salon also didn't smell like chemicals. The manicure was cheap - $10.
Cons: While Kimmy was nice and chatty, she didn't do a great job filing my nails. Despite me pointing out during the manicure that some of my nails weren't the same shape, many of my nails turned out to be uneven. She fixed one of them during the manicure but ignored the others. After she painted my nails, I held them up to a small fan while she left for about 10 minutes to clean the bowls, etc. in the back room and then just read a magazine next to me while I tried to dry my nails with the fan. It was a little awkward. I had to ask her if they were dry since she didn't come back to check and she kind of checked and said, "They're dry." But before I got to my car, one of my nails was already smudged. Worst part is that 4 days later, my nails started to chip so I ended up removing all the nailpolish, refiling my nails and just doing them myself.
Again, it was a clean place and Kimmy was friendly, but I paid $10 for a manicure and got what I paid for. -
Review from martin h.

Great Customer Service with a smile. Friendly staff that puts a true emphasis on their quality of work. Unlike all the other nail salon/spa/ haircut places surrounding Berkeley, they seem to have a full understanding of their craft and actually listen to make customers feel understood.
The owner, i believe her name is Kimmy, is very personal with her clients and provides honest feedback with a positive attitude that her staff seems to adapt well.
I do believe they are running a special for the 1st month grand opening
20% off hair cuts and waxing. But nonetheless, their prices are very good for the services they provide.
I had taken one of my very good friends here for a birthday treat and ended up enjoying myself just as much as she did. -

WOW. I just had an amazing experience at Four Seasons. Not only did they do an awesome job on my mani pedi, they also:
* have a FREE parking lot
* made me a delicious Vietnamese coffee
* gave me a super long, relaxing hand/foot massage
* AND the owner gave me a Christmas card with a gift card toward my next visit!!! I was speechless. Service this good is just so rare. And their prices are so cheap!
One of the best parts of my visit was when a group of men came in who were obviously very friendly with the owner. They were dressed like they might have been on their lunch break from a construction site. They were so comfortable in the salon and one made an appointment for a facial. I love a place that makes all kinds of people feel really welcome. My boyfriend's been looking for a place to get his back waxed, and I know he'd be really comfortable here.
I can tell I'm going to be regular here. I would give them six stars if I could. -

I went for a first time leg+bikini wax. The ladies here were very professional, and efficient. They made sure to be careful because I have sensitive skin, and even gave me a good deal on a pedi afterwards and flip-flops so I wouldn't ruin my polish to boot! The whole shebang took about one hour which I expected just my legs to take that long, although I did have somewhat sparse hair coverage on my legs in general. The pedicure was also fantastic. I will definitely be going back! Thanks for the star treatment Kimmie!

I am just now reveling in the great and cheap haircut I got from the owner of Four Seasons this weekend. I was enticed by the low price of a $10 clip. Kimmy cut my hair exactly how I wanted and was very personable. Before I knew it, I was sporting a new do. While this place is a bit out of the way, I can definitely see myself making a return in 6 weeks.

This place was simply outstanding. I made an appointment for a haircut and Kimmy was ready, right on time. She was courteous, and she gave me exactly the hair cut i wanted. I also wanted my eyebrows threaded, and she made sure the lady (who is simply phenomenal) came in, just to meet my request. AS I was getting pampered, the ladies even made sure to put coins in my parking. The threading never hurt one bit, I should know, I have been getting my eyebrows threaded upwards of 20 years and this was the first pain free experience. Long story short, in 50 minutes, I got a polish change, a nice haircut and my eyebrows done and it all cost me only $30 plus tip. The experience was priceless. I now have a new salon for all my pampering needs!

I happened to stop by this place on a whim. Not only did they provide great service, but also the owner was very friendly and personable. They helped me park and the waxing job they did was impeccable. Very highly recommended. You will love Kimmy (I think thats the owners name)

Both my daughter and I enjoyed our pedicures. Kimmy is gracious, careful and skilled.My daughter found her Brazilian wax well done. I brought my daughter for a treat for her 23rd birthday. We will definitely come back and refer our friends. And we are delighted.

Simply amazing! got my nails done here and I was very SATISFIED. The staff were nice and very friendly. The atmosphere very relaxing. There's a parking space at the back but its easy to miss so I had to park 1 block away the first time I came.

Men's haircuts are magnificent and my girlfriend loves the pedicures. I've gone here for my last five haircuts and have been completely satisfied every time. The prices are very competitive and I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Had a great mani/pedi and wax at Four Seasons. The shop is light and airy, very clean, and Kimmy was warm, friendly and made me feel right at home with her positive energy. The massage chairs were great. i am going back with my girlfriends as soon as I have a chance.
