Y2K Nails

Downtown location Oakshade location

Y2k Nails is a hair and nail salon run by a professional licensed nail technician and hair stylist. There are two locations for Y2k Nails, one is in Oakshade Town Center and this one is downtown near the Amtrak station. The business card says that they are open on Sunday, but according to the lady that works at the downtown location, it closes on Sunday but the Oakshade salon is open.

I've never been to the Oakshade location but the salon downtown is very nice. New, clean, and professional. They even have a small hair salon. They are stocked with numerous nail polish shades by O.P.I. .

Gift certificates are available

2007-05-01 13:03:11   The downtown location is much smaller than the other one only the vibe is much more friendly and accomidating. The ladies were really sweet and I had a nice relaxing afternoon. —HeatherParker

2007-05-08 04:22:26   The ladies that work here are very gentle. But the lady that did my nails did not do that great of a job with my fiberglass set. I had to go home and file them down some more, even after i repeatedly asked her to make them more narrow to fit my finger. After about three days the fake nail starting peeling up. Oh, they also have higher prices now than what was posted on the brochure/this page. Overall y2k nails has a very relaxing and friendly environment but definitely not the best place to get your nails done. They also charged my friend a $1 fee for using her atm/credit card. —AmyYang

2007-05-25 14:06:05   avoid this place at all costs! Its a rip off and the owner's wife who operates the Oakshade location is definitly not customer service oriented. I was unhappy with the quality of manicure I received and she yelled at me that I was a racist trying to take adavantage of a minority business owner. If the Owner was at the store i might go there again because he called me at my home to apologize for his wifes behavior... —MyaBrn

2007-06-24 22:44:22   I went to the Cowell location and I had a young man give me a pedicure. He was friendly but seemed a bit messy, dropping the nailpolish into the foot spa thingy and cussing randomly. My pedi was very well done though. The rest of the ladies don't ever seem to smile but my friends got manicures there and they did well. —FeliciaTing

2007-07-24 12:12:27   Robbie does an awsome job! He has been doing hair in Davis for 20 years. He has a long standing reputation for being the best at what he does! He cuts, colors and styles most of the Woodstock's crew. —Hen

2007-08-21 10:31:52   Ah! I walked into Y2K hair and nails and went straight up to Dawn. I dyed my beautiful blond locks black. It wasn’t even a pretty black. It was like green black and I had a date in 5 hours! Not only did she fix my hair to a light brown color that day, she scheduled appointments to get my hair lighter and blonder. Since then, we have experiments, but the way she treats my hair, it is as good as new, hardly any damage and still incredibly healthy. I don’t know of any other hair stylist that could not only fix gross green black hair, but become a friend and a confidant! —Alysa

2007-09-18 11:49:44   They actually have a hair salon as well! Robbie from the Hair Factory is in the same location! Go see him. I have been in the area for over 5 yrs. and he has always been my hairdresser! He is always willing to listen and give his clients the best hair cut that he can. His talants are great! Do yourself a favor and have Robbie give you a great new look! —JulieDow

2007-12-10 12:16:41   I have been looking for a good hair stylist for over a year with reasonable prices and finally I found Robbie. Robbie does exactly what you want and is super nice to boot. I know three people who go to him and they are all very happy with his work. —steph

2008-01-15 22:50:21   Dawn did a great job of cutting and coloring my hair! She really worked with me to help select a hair color (I have black hair and wanted it lighter, but hate the damage that results from bleaching). She won’t do something that will damage your hair, and my hair felt stronger and healthier after I left the salon. I really appreciated her advice and input. She’s also extremely sweet and funny, so I had a great time =) I recommend Dawn, especially if you want someone that’s honest and cares about the health of your hair. —sandrahnesna

2008-06-12 18:59:11   Sharon was great! She gave me a great cut & color. A very sweet person. I will definately be back to see her. —celina

2008-06-13 17:17:22   Robbie is amazing! I usually have an overall idea of how I want my hair to look, but he makes is fabulous with all the detail, the right coloring and highlights to match. Robbie is fun, super nice and talented.-Brenda —MovieFan07

2008-06-21 18:50:51   I just got my hair cut with Dawn who is absolutely wonderful! I love how she asked me exactly what I wanted and did exactly that. I like how she shared her expert knowledge with me. I love my hair! :) —SRAJ

2008-07-03 19:11:06   the oakshade place sucks they talk all chinease about you and the nails crack the next day dont ever go there or u will be riped off —pebble

2008-07-13 12:21:03   I love the downtown location! i had a brazilian waxing done a couple of days ago for the first time and the lady that did it was amazing. she was very gentle and was patient with me considering how nervous i was. her name is Young-Sook and i wouldn't go to anyone else. she was very thorough and i would definately recommend her to everyone! —enchantedforest

2008-07-16 15:21:20   this place does not accept credit btw. they just have an atm machine so bring your checkbook. it was my first time with dawn and she seriously talks you through everything she's doing and everything she's going to do to your hair. she cuts a lot slower than the stylists i've been to in san jose. she really does take care of every single strand of your head but if you're going for a more generic look, $35 might be a lil too much for it here. next time, i'm coming back and going for a much fun look to get my money's worth. —julpham

2008-07-21 18:54:17   Young Sook is super super good! She is kind, patient, and thorough. I went in for a eyebrow and chin/lip wax, She spent alot of time on me, which was a good thing. Afterwards, she applied some kind of lotion and some mineral powder to hide the redness. It was great! I will go back. —llee10789

2009-01-23 09:10:02   I've had bikini waxing from Young Sook and a hair cut from Dawn. Young Sook is wonderful - very professional, clean, gentle, and thorough. I've been recommending her to my friends. The haircut from Dawn was okay. She is very sweet, but didn't really do what I asked and cut much more drastic layers than I indicated I wanted. So, I think she listens, but just be clear about what, specifically, you want!! —Ratatat

2009-01-27 10:17:03   After "losing" Robbie, I finally found him again at this salon and will be going back. He's worth every penny. —BevSykes

2009-03-06 16:40:54   Let me begin by saying how awesome my hair is now that I have found DAWN. Never before have I ever felt like a stylist has understood me so well. DAWN really took her time in helping me refine my idea of what I wanted my hair to be. She is reasonably priced and IMO the best one there. She is the sweetest lady and a phenomenal stylish! I recommend her to anyone that is looking for a great cut & color. DAWN ROCKS!!! ♥ —ginny

2009-03-06 16:46:49   Oh! I forgot to mention, that the best way to make sure you get DAWN (and not someone else) is to call her cell directly. 1(916)308-8588. —ginny

2009-04-21 11:13:55   FOR ALL THE YOUNG SOOK LOVERS! She has opened up her own salon in downtown Davis. It is located at 636 4th Street.
ARA SPA! It is a brand new spa. Anna and Vince from Y2K are doing the nail services and Young is the esthetician.
She is immaculate, amazing and really affordable. I refuse to go anywhere else for waxing. —MeganMills

2009-09-14 13:23:10   If you want an amazing and stylish haircut for a very reasonable price, then go to Robbie. All of my girlfriends (who are much more fashion savvy than I) have been going to Robbie for years, and after repeated hair envy moments with each of their subsequent haircuts outdoing the last, I finally started going to him. I've seen him do every type of hair well - mine is super long and he managed to make it dramatic while keeping the length; most of my friends have short to medium length hair. If you have always wanted to do something new or edgy but are afraid to go there, he's the right person to get you to do it (point in case, I have bangs for the first time since childhood...and I actually love them.

The key is that he is both skilled and he's always doing his research. He's up to date about styles and is ready to bring ideas to the table, and then executes it fantastically. Plus, he's about the most enjoyable person to talk to while getting your hair done. —HillaryThomas

2009-09-21 09:57:38   I went here for a pedicure for the first time and it was just ok, I usually like to talk to the lady's ,but the one lady I got was really mean and rude and was constantly speaking Japanese to her co workers which made me feel uncomfortable. She also did not seem to take her time and listen to me. She had drained the water before I could even ask for a Deluxe pedicure. The place was clean though and the service was good. I accidentally smeared the polish while drying and the lady fixed it. Overall, a better good value for a pedicure. The pedicure starts out with trimming and filing the nails, soaking in the tub, cuticle cream and moisturizer, rubbing the feet and legs, the best part is the hot stones(feels so good), then finishing off with a polish. Good place, bad customer communication and courtesy. —ElizabethBarthel

2009-09-26 17:33:11   I just walked-in and was so lucky that Dawn was able to take me today! I brought in a picture and she cut it exactly like it! She is so nice and helpful...I will definitely be reccomending Dawn to anyone that is looking for a haircut! DAWN IS AWESOME! —EmilyRichards

2009-10-06 21:17:24   Hey, it's Robbie! Contrary to what you may believe, I'm still here in town! Give me a call on my cell: 530-304-7750, and we'll set up an appointment! Sorry for the confusion!

Thanks,
Robbie —HairByRobbie

2009-11-04 12:31:20   Robbie's the best: great with hair, and a great guy to know as well. Utterly unfazed by cranky, disobedient, he sends me away every four weeks feeling good about myself and the world in general. There's no better recommendation in my book. —JCooper
