Top 16 Reviews Nail and Spa San Mateo, CA new update 2

Sheila Janakos II highly recommend the salon. The staff are all equally competent and do an outstanding job. My manicureslast weeks and I always am very satisfied. The best part is there are no chemicals smells because they only do natural nails.

Fraser Street My wife thinks this place is the best.

S. Sullivan Great.

Finn Yalif Service was amazing. I’ve worked with Daisy three times now and every time she has done so well. The designs are stunning. I did gel x refills twice and builder gel once. Absolutely amazing.

Lizette Baltazar I had to follow my favorite pedicurist here Philip! Such a nice guy and his work is flawless. This team is so kind and easy going. The location is also lovely with places to eat before/after getting their services. Their selection of colors is every girls dream. This is premium service!

Jean Tsou The overall space need a deep cleaning. Customer service also need some improvement. I walked into the store with lots of on going staff conversation when the peaceful music is playing in the background. I couldn’t even hear the music and could not relax. The technician did my pedi was not gentle so it hurts my cuticle and skin afterwards. I don’t feel welcoming here. I will rather go other nail stores next time.

Jasmine Chand Sammy is the best to go to for any type of threading. i get my eyebrows done by her and she takes her time and has attention to detail. she is great and the other people i’ve gone to weren’t the best but sammy gets me right every single time. she is caring and does a fantastic job. my aunt and mom also go to her as well

Nidhi Nath Ive been a loyal customer of My Fair Lady for years, and I can confidently say that its more than just a salon - its a warm and welcoming community hub. Shilpi’s dedication to supporting local events and charities is truly inspiring, and her commitment to excellence shines through in every aspect of the business. But what really keeps me coming back is the incredible service, particularly from Rekha, whose hair massages are nothing short of heavenly! Her skilled hands work out every knot and kink, leaving my scalp feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Its the perfect complement to the salons wide range of services from threading to facials to waxing. My Fair Lady is a true gem, and I feel grateful to have it in our community. If you havent already, do yourself a favor and book an appointment - your hair (and your scalp!) will thank you!" 5/5 stars

Veronica Quevedo Olvera I just felt weird because nobody spoke to me. The ladies in the entrance were just pointing to an IPad while I was saying hi and telling them that I wanted to trim my hair. No body answered, and they continued pointing to the IPad. So I registered myself and then I told them again. They moved me from one place to another and just asked me about nails or eyebrows. Again, I told them to "trim" and did some mimic with my hair and hands. I really thought that maybe they didnt know English. Finally, one lady trimmed my hair. That lady was ok. And my hair is ok. Just the welcome part. Maybe you can improve that. Thank you

Jessica Luong I recently visited Emily Nails Spa and I must say, it was an absolute delight! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and impeccable service. The ambiance was so soothing and tranquil, creating the perfect atmosphere to unwind and relax. The technicians were highly skilled and paid meticulous attention to detail, leaving my nails looking flawless and beautiful. The range of services offered was impressive, and the quality of products used exceeded my expectations. I left feeling pampered, rejuvenated, and already planning my next visit. I highly recommend Emily Nail Spa to anyone looking for top-notch nail care and a truly luxurious experience! Not only was the overall experience at Emily Nail Spa exceptional, but the nail services were also outstanding! The nail technicians were incredibly talented and knowledgeable, guiding me through the process with expertise and care. Whether I wanted a classic manicure, a trendy nail art design, or a luxurious spa pedicure, they had it all covered. The attention to hygiene and cleanliness was also commendable, ensuring a safe and hygienic environment throughout my visit. My nails have never looked better, and Im already receiving compliments left and right! Thank you, Emily Nail Spa, for exceeding my expectations and providing top-notch nail services. Ill definitely be back for more!

Angela Martinez Horrible my daughter came here on an emergency because she had an event for tomorrow, and her nail lady couldn’t fit her in her schedule. To begin with my daughter already had acrylics so she asked to get them removed to get new ones. They proceeded to rip them off piece by piece and kept on dipping it and acetone when they couldn’t get certain parts which looked painful. They left monomer all over her fingers. The acrylic wasn’t laid even it was super thick. We spent like two hours there as you can see they’re very short she changed the nail color once because my daughter didn’t like the first color. I told her I would pay her extra for the inconvenience, but she was still rude about it

Tracy Crouthamel I got a pedicure, no polish "shiny buff". Very nice staff, professional kind, great with special requests. I marked it 4 stars because the footbath didnt have jets and the massage chairs are not good for anyone under 6 tall, very awkward to sit in and enjoy the chair massage (but thats 95% of massage chairs on the market) - just really wanted the footbath jets. Salons very dishevelled too and messy and one of the neon lights above buzzes, but dispute that, it was very calm feeling and there wasnt a lot of nail smell which is good too :) So 4 stars, pretty good. Might go again.

Carolyn Ross I have been going to Nails by Mia for over a month and at our 1st meeting she removed my acrylic nails and applied a Japanese gel that has strengthened my natural nails so I will never go back to acrylic. The attached photo is courtesy of Mia’s very creative mind and LOVE her beautiful nail art. Mia is a sheer genius at her craft. Her attention to detail is just amazing and she always makes sure you are extremely satisfied. Her deluxe gel pedicure is a definitely an 10 star experience. She is also so accommodating for scheduling.

Alicia M Amazing gel-x manicure! Mia was super nice and quick. I will definitely be going back. :)

Jenee Van Hofwegen Mia is extremely talented! Not only is she attentive and very fast, she can work with any nail type! As someone with shorter natural nails, the results are more beautiful than I even could’ve hoped for. Mia is so kind and her art is amazing!

Juliette My nails done at Tamika Salon and they were amazing. The technician chose to help with the acrylic nail polish color for me and making them for a long time and they still look perfect. Excellent friendly staff and amazing work. I barely started getting manicures this year and am still a little nervous when I go to new places but they are so welcoming and helpful when you come in.

Stella Morgan I always bring my friends here so they can have the best experience. My nail tech does a great job, is quick, professional and particular about their work! Had a great 1st experience at Tamika Nails My gel nails always look natural, not thick and gloppy!

angani maharaj If you book an appointment here, book it with Travis only. His work is nice. I dont recommend anyone else. This isnt the first time Brian has done my nails. He has done it several times, and from several times 3 times, there have been bubbles in my nails. And its right before Christmas, and I got chrome nails, and there are bubbles in it. The last time I had Chrome done, there were no bubbles. Paying $70 for bubbles in your nails isnt worth it. And to top it off, instead of fixing it, I was told if i want it fixed, the color would not be the same, and I would have to choose another color. The prices here are outrageous, though. Nails arent straight , from the side, you can see waves. You can see it in person, it doesnt show properly in the picture cause of the color.

Wowpretty Jira Best nail specialist in Burlingame, placed clean and relaxing

Karla OConnor Nam did such a great job with my Wednesday Addams Halloween nails!! Was so detailed oriented and got the spider, moon, and ghosts on point. This is my regular nail spa and they never disappoint in customer service. They quote you right away and I leave really satisfied. I highly recommend Nam for his efficiency and detail in nails. Again this nail spa is awesome! -Karla

Ilona Kelvet Been to this place 3 times. Always have gotten good service and good nails which is why I came here today. However, my manicure was done in 25mins, skin clipped carelessly to the point I almost got a wound and the coating / drying was not well done with edges remaining white, polish still transparent and not equally coated. To top it off I asked for matted polish, she forgot and did shiny. I will have to redo this in 1-2 days in a different salon so money and time waisted. I think they need to stick to their standards or all the clients will run off elsewhere.

Esperanza Tovar I don’t like to write this, but this was the worst service I have had; my Mani looks unfinished, I asked for square nails, and I got a weird almond different shape in each nail The girl who made my pedicure was super lovely but unfortunately cut my nails in a round way (dont know why), and now I have an ingrown toenail, which is very hurtful Not coming back

Zheng Luyao Can’t believe we did this press on nail just in five minutes! This is going to revolutionise the manicure beauty industry. There are a lot more design styles in the store. I just picked one that match the most with my outfit. You can definitely do this at home but the beauty specialist were kind enough to show me how it works.

Joyce Cheng I wanted to share my experience with Pressii’s press-on nails and their cuticle essential. I absolutely love them! The press-on nails are fantastic—they’re super quick and easy to apply, only about 5 minutes! They’re comfortable to wear and look amazing. And the cuticle essential is a wonderful hand serum that really smooths and softens my hands. It makes the whole experience even better! Plus, every visit to the store is a joy. I always have a great time chatting with other customers and the lovely shop owner. It’s such a warm and welcoming place!

hongshu li I recently discovered a premium press-on nail brand in the Bay Area, and I’m honestly impressed! Their 6-piece nail kit—complete with a UV lamp, base gel, jelly gel, and more—makes it so easy to get salon-quality nails at home. They also offer natural hand care oils that leave my hands looking beautiful and polished. Can’t wait to see what they come up with next!

P Jeffery Wow. Just had powder manicure with Kelly. They made me and my pup very welcome (he is very well behaved and does not bark!). So happy with service and the nails.

Olivia Zunino Friendly service, got me done quick. Very affordable prices. Big ouch on the pedicure experience, though. They took a bit more of my nail than my toe wanted to give and I left with a less than relaxing experience because of it. Would have been 5 stars if not for that.

Cynthia Willson If I could it would be a -10. Have never had such bad service ever!!! Any place!!! And I was a regular customer. I came for a manicure and pedicure and had just finished the pedicure when 2 other walk in customers came in - I was told just a minute - 30 minutes later after the manicurist returned after shampooing one and doing another treatment in the back for the other customer! I remover my polish, thinking she would be back. I left without manicure and the women had the audacity to ask if I wanted to add something when I paid - I don’t tip for horrible no service!

Hannah Garcia Bia is so great! Her nail designs are beautiful and she give excellent customer service. I always look forward to my next appointment!

Luisa B Wonderful experience. Maya (Mi) and her colleague were super nice and did an excellent job. She was super precise and took her time with my nails. Ask for her if you book a mani or pedi! She helped me with choosing my color and I love it so much! Even when I messed up my one finger right after they finished the manicure, she immediately took off the entire nail polish from that finger at painted it all new. No questions asked. Thank you so much! I will definitely be back!

Corinne Oliver went for a hand massage. jennifer went above and beyond to give me the most relaxing 20+ minutes. she added extra time and gave me several minutes with the hot stones. will absolutely be coming back next time i’m in town :) thank you jennifer!!!!

Elizabeth Wisker Phenomenal manicure aside, the entire staff here is incredibly friendly, kind, helpful, welcoming... that really makes for a standout experience. But the manicure Fon gave me is just perfect. My nails were an absolute disaster when I got there, and I left with beautiful looking nails, polish, and hands. I cant wait for another work trip so I can go back here!

Minda Newhouse The gel lab is my new happy place. Their customer service is unmatched. I broke my foot and they literally helped me get in out of the salon and moved my car for me. With my nails I never dreamed I could have had this much growth and happy nail beds but they mad it happen (this after 3 appointments with gel builder). But more than anything I love the community, the sisterhood, the laughs, and general vibes. If you live in the Bay Area you are dumb if you go anywhere else.

Mikaela Labadan My nails after 4 weeks of growth. The owner was really nice and did a trial nail to make sure it really matched my inspo pic. The service was quick and clean, and they helped me fix my nails after a bad gel overlay job at another salon.

Amber Ost I have been a client at The Gel Lab for about a year now, and my nails have never been as long and healthy as they are now. Its all because of the love and care of The Gel Lab team. Klaire and her team are very knowledgeable and skilled, and provide such a warm and welcoming environment. I look forward to each appointment! Its like going to a friends house to hang out and get your nails done. Shout out to Ari for being my nail bestie :) I cant say enough about this place!

Anastasia Gonnova Got my nails done with Mia. Extremely dirty workstation and not sanitized tools. Not safe.

Katie Dreaper Here on Sunday at 11:30 am and its closed...?

Darin Tran Wonderful Nails Salon....! Susan & all the people in the salon very friendly people...!
