Welcome to
Nails by Ken

We opened Nails by Ken with one goal: give East Bay residents a nail salon that actually feels like a treat — clean, skilled, and unhurried.

Located on San Pablo Ave in the heart of El Cerrito, we've built a loyal community of clients from Albany, Berkeley, Kensington, and beyond. Our massage chairs, meticulous technicians, and welcoming atmosphere keep them coming back.
