I’ve been going to see my favorite technician, My, for almost a decade at Simply Green… hard to believe, but when you find you’re person, you know. Lawrence, the owner, treats his employees and guests like family. He spends time catching up with customers with genuine care. I haven’t found another place in Oakland or Berkley that compares for the quality and value. It’s a non-toxic, fume free, environment with cozy chairs and a membership program that pays for itself after a few visits. Plus, they have whole treatment options: fabulous massage, facials, and waxing - that feels like your at a spa, not a dark back room. Thankful they made it through the past year and I hope to continue going for the next 10 years.

I always feel pampered at Simply Green Day Spa. They carry great quality nail polish lines in a wide variety of colors. The nail professionals take great pride in their work and the ambiance of the salon is relaxing and lovely.

The waxing tech, My, did an absolutely fabulous job on my Brazilian. She made me feel so comfortable and at ease— and not a hair in sight! (Sorry, no photo proof 😉)

I don’t know why you have my husband’s name above? He rarely goes, but I go frequently!Simply Green is a wonderful salon! Staff is professional, courteous and kind. The owner,Lawrence (spelling??), is very professional, flexible, kind and knowledgeable. I love that I can walk there! I highly recommend this salon and I highly recommend My who does a lovely manicure and pedicure and does superb waxing.Ellen KinnertAdams Point

Words cannot express the immense joy I received from my experience at Simply Green Day Spa. I had a Combo Massage (reflexology and bodywork)! The practitioner was outstanding!!! His years of experience is clearly exemplified in his skill set and warm spirited demeanor. Honestly I have never had a better bodywork experience.🙌🏽 Golden! The value of his work is immeasurable! I left there free of PAIN and immobilization of certain areas! I am grateful🙏🏽 beyond measure I highly recommend the service.

Our experience was amazing. It was my first pedicure ever and it was fabulous. My partner had a recent ankle sprain, she went with the reflexology pedicure and the staff were not only super gentle, the care put into the massage was healing for her foot. Fantabulous!!! We will be back :)

As a wheelchair user I appreciate the option to roll into a space rather than transferring to a chair. I feel like they do a more thorough job than other salons as well. Highly recommend!

I joined as a member with my husband several years ago. I was gone for over two years as my husband and I dealt with his illness and subsequent death. I recently walked in the door of the Spa for services and even tho it has been years, the staff immediately recognized me and provided their over-the-top service. I felt a little piece of home in my heart.

I cant go anywhere else! This place is the best. Organic products, no horrible chemical smells and the staff is amazing. I especially love My. They go above and beyond to ensure that you are having an excellent experience. Support your local businesses and give them a try. You wont regret it. Great package deals.Utilizing strict safety protocols.

Review №15

I found this spa right before quarantine last year, and have been able to come back a couple times they have been able to reopen. Lawrence is very accommodating each time I make an appt, and they are always so helpful to my husband who is a 6’6” man with long heavy legs... these tiny women scrubbing his feet proper! Tammy is the best, almost didn’t want to share that but she should get props for being so thorough. Most importantly they always let us soak our feet for 10 minutes before the service so that everything softens up nice for the pedicures we get, exfoliating and scrubbing these babies are my priority. No need for fancy chairs —- the space is simple and clean and gentle and more comfortable than those turn and burn nail salons. Truly a spa feeling without breaking the bank.

Friendly and prompt service. I am so glad they have reopened. This is the only place I go. Great atmosphere. Very relaxing and comfortable. I especially love Mai, she is the best. I’ve enjoyed many spa treatments from mani and pedi’s to facials and full body massages. They use organic and some vegan products. I have missed my regular spa days this last 18 months. Glad they’re back. 😊

This place is a gem! I will absolutely be going back. My partner and I made appts (for his bday) for a Luxury Pedicure that included hot stones and a paraffin treatment. The front desk gal was great as were the technicians. The environment was relaxing, esp with the fountain running. Well be back for monthly treatments!

Review №31

It was quiet, little communication aside from gentle nudges. This is a rare treat and so a little awkward, ticklish, uncomfortable not fully knowing what to expect. I can definitely get used to it. :)

Review №32

I’ve been coming here for years for spa mani and spa pedi. The service is good but not always consistent. Some nail technicians only give a 2-minute massage and some longer. Not sure how long the service is for a spa mani and spa pedi. But yesterday, I got my French mani in addition to spa mani and spa pedi. I thought the lady did a good job but when I got home, I looked it even more and notice the inconsistencies. The lines, thickness, and curves arent that good. Perhaps, I’ll stick to clear polish or buff moving forward.

I’ve been coming here since my second trimester of my pregnancy with my mom and Lawrence and the staff treat you like family.I love the personal loveseat for mani and pedi and detailed my Brazilian waxes are done. This is definitely our spot here in my hometown of Oakland for our self care needs.

Review №34

First spa day after covid restrictions lifted. the experience for me and my friend was heavenly. the commitment to healthy products and environment continue to allow me to relax despite being sensitive to scents.they have truly gone above and beyond to maintain a safe environment during covid. everyone wears masks, sanitizes often, and early birds wait outside for their appointments. inside the manicure chairs are at least 6 feet apart with 7-foot-tall clear plastic dividers. my girlfriend and i had a real girls-day-out without sacrificing our health.cant wait to come back for a message.

The massage of legs and arms is worth the extra cost of mani pedi: you leave totally relaxed and ready to face the world til the next one!!!(Wrote this review before the covid shutdown and then went back yesterday, for the first time since nearly 2 years ago, and the massage and the mani pedi was again a beautiful relaxing experience.) I highly recommend this spa.

Review №51

Everyone here is super nice and, perhaps more importantly, good at their jobs. I appreciate anywhere that does a solid massage for their manis and pedis! AND they’re committees to low/no scent and green practices. Covid conscious, space is nice & bright. I only gave four stars because there are some amenities that I like that were missing (eg massaging chairs, jets on the foot bath), but all-in-all a great spot.

I have been going to this spa for years. I love how professional, clean, and efficient they are. It is refreshing that they only take as many customer appointments as they have staff to handle. I have sat at too many salons where my appointment time passes because they overbook themselves. Service is always top notch from nail care to massages. I recommend them to all my friends.

Review №70

I love this SPA. I have had several services over the years: nail care, facials, massages. It is always a great experience: I feel that my preferences are carefully considered, service providers are communicative and can adjust if asked. The staff are friendly and respectful. The facility is very clean and has nice relaxing ambiance. I like the selection of products used and offered for sale - I have sensitive skin, and I have ever had a problem with any product offered to me or used during services. There is also lovely tea served - I find it a very sweet touch. Overall, I really enjoy this place. It is not pretentious, run by caring genuine people, and offers excellent services at very reasonable prices.

Review №71

I love these guys. What more can I say? I have occasionally gone to other salons (when I’ve been desperate and Simply Green has been booked), but none as good. The Simply Green folks do a better job of dealing with my cuticles and my dry feet, and all the other fundamental stuff, than anyone else. Simply Green is attentive and gets all the details right. I love working with My (“Mee”) and Tiffany, but there are other great technicians there, too. The setting is also welcoming, calm and comfortable. This has been my one and only go-to nail salon, in the East Bay, for years.

Review №72

A lovely spa!! I have been to many nail salons and few are as organized, kind or professional like Simply Green Day Spa. The spa faces a beautiful park in Oakland and then nail technicians are all kind and patient. I’ve never felt rushed or like they over booked themselves, it’s very relaxing. The pedicure itself is also wonderful. They really go all out with sugar scrubs, hot towels and a lengthy massage. I always walk away happy

Review №74

I love this spa! The technicians are very pleasant and fast. The quickness of service does not feel rushed nor does it lack in quality. I have gone 4 tines now and each time I have been provide excellent service. The colors used on the walls are warm and inviting. There is a large fountain with a nice flow of water. Each seat is a comfortable recliner style. The massage are done by hand v the vibrating chair at other salons. I am offered tea or water when I come in. I live the fact that there is no t.v., you make an appointment in advance so they are prepared to meet you so there so no waiting. I appreciate the absence of chemicals in the air and the sound of electric hand held devices---so over that! I would give them a 5 star rating but parking is a hot mess! Not the fault of the spa. It just is what it is. So prepare in advance! They are a little higher in price than some of the other salons and its worth it! Not only does my gel last longer but it doesnt feel like a meat market---get em in get em out! For everything you get there its a GREAT VALUE!!!

Simply Green Day Spa is my go to place for a relaxing Mani- Pedi. It costs more than others, but it also gives more than other nail salons. The place is very clean, comfortable, doesn’t smell from polish, and the manicurists are typically very good. My last time there was a little disappointing bc unbeknownst to me, I was the last scheduled customer for the evening, and it was rushed. That wasn’t the case for my friend who started before me and ended after I was finished.I intend to go back regularly just as I have for years.

I love this place. I particularly like that their hygiene is of the highest order. I worry about getting a pedicure and getting some kind of weird infection.

Great service, and open late. My partner really loves it here, which is more than enough reason for me to go back. I dont get out to do my nails much, so Simply Green would be a bit pricy for me if I came on the reg, but this is a go to for me for sure when we want to treat ourselves. Also I love love love that they have animal kind polishes. Would love to try spa services someday.

Review №92

As an out of town customer- this place is definitely described wrong! THIS IS NOT A SPA!! This is an old out dated and dirty nail shop- that just happens to offer massages. I was greeted very kindly by the front desk staff... noticed an old man dozing off in the corner. Turned out he was my “ therapist “. Directly behind the front desk there is a set of spiral stair case that took us up the next level- not floor but level, this is important because there is no separation of sound from the all the activity of the nail shop!! That level was gross and dirty! Filled boxes and debris! He leads me into a curtained off section. I get undressed- because I’m there and need to get a knot worked out my shoulder. I traveled 8 hours that day! He starts and no music, no ambience, no sound machine! Nothing but the noise downt stairs. He starts to massage me and I can tell right away something was wrong. But meanwhile i start hearing moaning. Turns out someone else is getting a massage done. Only a thin curtain separating us. I can hear his therapist and him! He was moaning so loud it was disgusting!! Meanwhile the man rubbing me down has zero experience as a therapist. It’s obvious. I travel for work and get massaged at least twice a week. He had no clue. So I’m getting ready to just scratch the whole thing. Then the icing on the cake is when a new customer is escorted up the stairs and is on her cell phone right out side of my curtain. That was it!! 15 min in and I was already getting dressed to go back to my hotel!! BOTTOMLINE- THIS PLACE IS A HARD PASS!!!!
