This is convenient to where I live and never crowded. There is a new owner named Linda and she is personable and friendly. They offer water, candy and crackers and if you make an appointment, there is no wait. While there, a couple of people walked in off of the street and she was not able to accommodate them because she is the only one there. I would like to see this nail shop succeed because it is a hidden gem. Visit, be sure to book an appointment, and you won't be disappointed. If Linda generates enough business she will be able to hire help. Read Less

Because of the great Yelp reviews, today I decided to try the 6-month-old Beti Spa near the Claremont Hotel for the dreaded (see below) pedicure.  From the moment I walked in, there was a very good vibe:  tranquil setting, comfy chairs, and peaceful, happy Linda to welcome me.I started out sharing a warning with Linda about my hypersensitive feet & in-grown toenails:  that lovely combo that makes pedicures feel like (for me) the medieval torture chamber.  As so many before her have done, Linda assured me I was in good hands ("ya, sure" to self). However, within minutes I realized that I had found THE "Toe Whisperer".  She got right to work and no joke, I uttered not a single ouch, wince, or silent scream (which would be the norm for me).  In fact, barely felt her skilled hands at work on my toes.  Before I knew it, I had pain-free, beautifully pedicured toes.  As far as I'm concerned, Linda is my personal Miracle Worker.  All you peeps out there with sensitive and/or in-grown toenails:  THIS is the Pedicurist you've hoped-for all your life.  Yes, she really is THAT good. And just a stone's throw from Claremont Hotel.  Just sayin'.Pricing: I expected elevated pricing in this tony neighborhood but Beti Spa is actually LESS expensive than my previous two favorite salons nearby.  So TOTAL SCORE: I got both the Toe Whisperer and a fair-priced-pedi -- all in one.  Other good to know:  Spa is immaculate;  Linda provides (free) tea and snacks;  street parking is a challenge so give yourself some time (there is a lot across the street, behind Rick & Anns, but only if you're going to pop into R&A's or Peet's for cup of coffee - no validation, at your word).  Linda is super-easy to talk with while she works away, but if you don't want to, she totally respects your indulging your iphone, book, or etc if you want to just zone out.Although Linda welcomes walk-ins, I recommend that you call in advance to book your appt (I called 20 min ahead and no problem). Why not make sure you have her undivided attention?!Thank you, Linda!  I'm so glad I found you !!  And thank you, fellow-Yelpers for the heads-up! Read Less

Beti Spa is my go-to spot to get a shellac mani, pedi, and my eyebrows waxed. I enjoy coming here because Linda and Angela are friendly and professional. Linda is also helpful when I have trouble deciding on a nail color!  The quality of their work is truly outstanding. Read Less

Linda is so sweet! The salon is clean and I appreciate that. I've been twice, and because the gel was one that Linda hadn't used before, she wasn't aware that it would peel so quickly. So I returned for her to replace the gel, and she suggested I pick a new color, because she didn't want to put the one that peeled on my hands again. She provides such excellent service, I believe I have found my new nail salon. Read Less

Decided to try Beti nail shop out again after changing owners.  They re painted and made improvements.  Looks great.  Feels nice and cozy with the new decor.  I was a walk in pedi.  Fantastic Customer Service.  Offered me a refreshment and snack.  Pedi was $20.  My technician was very sweet, really pleasant and calming gentle hands.  Didn't hurt me at all (I'm always nervous about the nippers).  Massage and quality of work was very good.   I really appreciate the attention to detail that she took.  This is my new nail spot.  Thank you for taking good care of me.

I visited this place for a manicure recently to try it under new ownership and couldn't be more glad that I did.  The people that work there are extremely sweet, efficient, and do an amazing job! If you've been here before,  go back!  I would love to see them succeed in this location. Read Less

Appears to have changed management recently- this place is great. Still low prices but great service and nicer environment. Linda is eager to make customers happy and wants to creat a spa-like pedicure experience for a fraction of the cost. I hope this place sticks around. They also offer other services but I just got a pedicure- it was great.Plus they are open on Mondays now! (Yelp info needs to be updated). Read Less

This spa is amazing!!! If you want the best nail service in Berkeley, this is your place. The customer service is top-notch, and so is the quality of their work. I got a mani and pedi today and they both came out lovely. It was such a relaxing experience. Van is so sweet and Andy was fun to talk to--professional and friendly. I felt like I made a friend, rather than just stopping in for a nail appointment. Their environment is clean and very sterile...many other places are not always this next level. You won't regret it!!

What a gem in my neighborhood--This little spa is intimate yet has advanced technology like LED and infrared treatments for skin and body. The owner Andy might surprise you with his knowledge of skincare and treatments. The mani-pedi is divine and they have more colors than I am able to choose...Oh and Andy makes the best Sangria!!!
