Scott Giambastiani Great service and prices. Hidden gem!

Yury Bajgrowicz Rosie was fantastic !

Nazie Hoda First time there, love my nails and toes. But mostly, I was really pleased with the “classy” customer service!! Something that I haven’t seen around for a while..

Kimberly Karkov John’s Creation Nails in San Carlos, California, is hands down the best place in the world to get your nails done. John is a true artist when it comes to acrylic nails. He does a thorough and meticulous job, transforming your nails into beautiful works of art. His talent and precision are simply amazing. Equally impressive is his wife, Vu, who specializes in natural pedicures and manicures. Her skill and attention to detail make every service an incredibly relaxing and enjoyable experience. John’s mother-in-law, Van, performs amazing pedicures. She is very thorough and does an exceptional job, and you even get a massage as well. It’s amazing. Together, they form a team of true craftsmen who consistently deliver mind-blowing results. Every visit to John’s Creation Nails is an extraordinary experience. They truly care about their clients and ensure that everyone leaves feeling pampered and satisfied. If you’re looking for unparalleled nail care, this is the place to go. Highly recommended!

S D I just had my nails done by John at John‘s Creations for the first time and it was amazing. John is personable, meticulous, and a master at his craft. He is fast and efficient. I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the salon and his station and he is very organized. He also uses great products (OPI). My nails have never looked so beautiful. He even picked the most gorgeous fall color! I will not be going anywhere else!! Thanks John!

Alina Arsaeva I’ve been living in the Bay Area for almost two years, and I finally found a salon that I’m completely happy with :) I got my nails done there for the first time, and the result was incredible - perfect cuticle care and super neat polish. I haven’t had my nails treated this well in a long time. Huge thanks to the girls for both the amazing result and the cozy atmosphere they create in the salon! You walk in and immediately feel the good vibes :) These photos were taken three days after my visit, and my manicure still looks like new even though I’ve been cleaning and doing dishes! It’s like magic :)

Gabriella K Update: As this is my 3rd appointment with this salon. I came to see Olga for the second time. She is very efficient and does beautiful work. I was just disappointed from my last service because at the end of my appointment I was informed I needed to pay an extra $30 on top of the $110 plus tip I was already going to pay due to the fact that Olga fixed all my nails that had a slight curve and straightened them out. I think I would have been more receptive to the additional charge if I was told about it up front and not when I was checking out. Even though they gave me a slight discount to $20, I couldn’t tip as much as I would have liked to due to me always budgeting these appointments. This is my second time seeing her and she never mentioned that she would need to do that type of correction next time. I made another appointment in November because they always deliver consistent work, but I will be trying a different technician next time. As you can see my natural nails have grown so much! Trust the process. Original review: I have always wanted to try a Russian manicure and was excited to see a new shop opening in Menlo Park. I booked an online appointment with Farah. I was warmly greeted by the owner and her staff. Offered refreshments and was taken a few minutes before my appointment time. Farah was EXTREMELY thorough! Her attention to detail wasn’t only spot on but you could tell she really loves what she does. My nail are in bad shape. The gel builder technique will strengthen my natural nails and get them to the health and length I want. Booked my next appointment before leaving. I can’t wait to trust the process to get to my nail goals! Thanks Farah!

C L Meew Studio is my monthly therapy session. A beautiful studio that offers the optimum environment for practicing self-care. The attention to detail is awesome and I feel safe knowing they only use high quality gels/polishes. So far I’ve only had appointments with Anna and Maria-both incredibly sweet. Since coming here I have been able to grow out my natural nails. No acrylic, no gel-x

Andressa Clark I just had an amazing experience with Fernanda! Lymphatic Drainage massage + Facial Treatment. Absolutely a must do! I could see on the spot how it improved my cellulite appearance and the bloating just disappeared.

Gabriela I absolutely love visiting FR SPA, a Brazilian SPA in Redwood City has become my go-to spot for all things beauty and self-care. From nails to hair, body sculpting, and facials, they truly do it all and they do it exceptionally well. The staff is incredibly skilled and friendly, making every visit feel like a luxurious escape. My nails always look flawless I do the Brazilians fiberglass on my hands and Gel polish on my feet , my hair feels revitalized for the next holidays after a fresh cut, and their body-sculpting treatments have made a noticeable difference. As for facials, they use top-notch products and techniques that leave my skin glowing every time. The ambiance is serene and welcoming, and they really pay attention to the little details that make the experience special. I always leave feeling relaxed, refreshed, and confident. If youre in Redwood City and looking for a high-quality spa experience, I highly recommend FR SPA. Its the perfect place to treat yourself!

Paula Maia I’ve been going to FR Spa since 2018, and honestly, I can’t imagine going anywhere else for facials and body sculpting in the Bay Area. The treatments are amazing – my skin always looks and feels incredible after a facial, and the body sculpting has given me results I didn’t think were possible! The team is super friendly and makes you feel so comfortable from the moment you walk in. The spa itself is clean, cozy, and the perfect place

T. M I was in Redwood City for a wedding and decided to do my manicure here. The nail tech was so professional and did my nails so well. I loved the service and the hospitality. Thank you so much!

Angie Thrasher Wonderful service, friendly, clean and fantastic mani/pedi. Basic pedi with great massage and hot stones! Will be my go to place now for gel mani and pedi!

Courtney Colzie My nails were super weak afterwards and I asked for them to be done the exact way I had them they were breaking by the next day and they are my real nails. They were filing down the top of my nails way too much .

Hilary Holmquest I’ve been going to this place for years and think they are the best in the area. Even though I moved farther away from their location, I continue to come back because they do a better job than any other place I’ve tried. Recommend these lovely people for sure!

Katherine Williams I went today to get a fill and a pedicure. The service was amazing. They were very attentive and brought me more water after I finished. Both nail technicians were extremely thorough and took their time. I was very impressed with the high level of service. I highly recommend Nail Spa!

Ricci Whitebear74 A guy walks in there with a couple of tattoos and they treat him like a peasant. pretty racist in there so it definitely fits the area. Im in Apache off the reservation you would think it would be a little bit more respectful when theyre on my land. Im half heartedly joking but they really do judge us based on how we look. I was going to buy a full treatment for my friends mom. They just were not very warm or welcoming. Definitely have to look a certain way.

Brenda De Jesus Acosta I’ve been going to Gaby since she began doing nails. She is the absolute best! I have gotten acrylic and gel, and have fallen in love with gel. My nails have grown so much since I started coming to Gaby, they are so strong and no longer break. She uses the best products.

Maribel Ochoa Very, very satisfied Gaby is excellent at nail art design and the service is great as well. I would highly recommend this place is wonderful. Any design to want Gaby can do it

Jacquelinne Cardoza I have been getting my nails done by gaby for over 2 years now. She always takes her time and makes sure her work is perfect! All the designs I’ve shown her she’s been able to do and I always love my nails after my appointments!

Loulou A The worst nail salon I have ever go to. Nails chipped and pilled after 2 days even though it was Gail nail !!!! really??? Went back to fix but same thing happened next day. Dont waste ur money going there...pls see pics below

Luke Thomas The friendliest staff and best place to get a haircut in the Bay Area.

patricia y Amy is the best manicurist Ive ever been to.my cuticles look amazing and it was a pleasure to be spoiled by her.

Keri A I love this place. They do the best work of any nail salon I’ve been to, the space is clean and inviting, and they are very well managed so you are always in and out (mani+pedi) in an hour. I’ve been going here for about 6 months and I don’t see ever stopping.

Stephanie Gray When I tell you this is the best pedicure I’ve ever had, it is not an exaggeration. Every tech has such great attention to detail and takes their time, no matter how busy they are. If you’re not going here for a manicure or pedicure, you’ll regret it. Best place ever!

Jessie James My new favorite nail salon! Not only is it super close to home but their customer service and attention to detail are five star all the way. I have a lovely experience each time I visit and wont go anywhere else!

Alaina Hower Hailey and her team always do such a wonderful job; their professionalism and consistent quality of work keeps me coming back. Ive been getting dip manicures here for the last 4 years, so this review is long overdue!

Anne Cash Fantastic nail salon - Hailey did an amazing job on my nails, and Stephanie was equally excellent for my pedicure. I also took my 10yr old granddaughter and Stephanie did a beautiful job on her nails. The salon is clean, great location, and the entire staff is super friendly. I cannot recommend it enough. Cant wait to go back!

Natalia K Always happy with the service here. The nail color selection, tools, cleaning and sanitizing protocol is top notch. Can never go wrong with Hailey and her team. Tiffany did an excellent job today! Couldn’t be happier!

Alyssa Cazali I have been going to Jenny for over a year now! She is GREAT! She listens to what you need and is super sweet! She does great styles and obviously great with very long or short styles! I highly recommend checking this salon out ❤️

Robyn Peters I have thin floppy nails, and Jenny has been a lifesaver and so gentle, getting me set up. I brought my girls, and we all got fancy nails for a December wedding, and now were back to update our colors.

Koko Ko Salon new owners/workers are not up to any professional standards. First of all- its painful: not so gentle touch plus they dont pay attention to client specifics despite constant (10 per 2 hands) reminders- the manicurist stubbornly tried cutting very thin and non-existing cuticles completely disregarding my request and reminders not to. Gel manicure started to fall off on day 4. I went back and she repainted 1 nail. On day 6 all gel fell off from all nails on right hand. Went back again and she repainted all 5 of them. On day 14 gel cover started popping out one by one. Its day 20 since my original visit (day 13 since repainting the right hand) - the gel is completely gone from both hands

Barba Vukic Gorgeous nail work, lovely people, and a nice atmosphere. I’ll be back again and again.

Erin Yu Wow - cant say enough good things, so happy I found Cindys! They are so friendly and accommodating, and the nail techs are beyond talented. So thorough every time, love my manis here.

Ashley Beveridge My favorite nail place go to. I still come back moving far away.

Jina Choi First time at this nail salon and had a great experience! Nancy was so friendly. She really took her time and her attention to detail was amazing. To top it all off the massage was so nice and relaxing. Will be returning!

Jake What a great place to get your pedicure done. Called on a weekday and got an afternoon appointment within 30 minutes. Bottom line - fast, priced right and very good quality.

Alice Carr I went there to get a pedicure done, and a Gentleman by the name of Andy did the job for me and i was so impressed by his work that i recommend it to all my other friends and neighbors as well... i definitely will go back here for more services.

Diana Check-in experience was great and everyone is welcoming and friendly. My technician is a total professional and did an amazing job with my nails. Very beautiful, accurate, and perfect. One of my nails is recovering from an injury and didn’t hesitate and made sure to clean it up so it won’t cause further injury (and even made it pretty). Thank you, ladies!

Ji Choi This place has very pleasant feeling when you walk in. The owner seems to be paying a lot attention in cleanliness and sanitation. The stylists pay a lot of attention to customer. I usually get plain manicure and it lasts for a very long time. I got mine done about 4 weeks ago and they still look great! I strongly recommend this place!

Aaron Konzek This is the best Russian pedicure nail salon in the San Francisco bay area. The attention to detail is unmatched compared to other places. They also seem to use high-quality and clean tools. It is by appointment only so no walk ins but its worth the wait. For a Russian-style manicure/pedicure this is top notch

Candace Rohrwild Always a wonderful experience at Nails for you! Tom and his wife are very nice, the nail salon is so comfortable and on the water too. Relaxing perfect pedicures everytime! If you arent booking here you are missing out!

Barbara Nelson Nails4U in Foster City is a great nail salon. I have used many nail salons in the San Mateo area over the years and this is by far the best! I called this morning and made an appt for this afternoon. Two friends referred me to this salon and have also had wonderful experiences. When I arrived I didnt have to wait(a big plus) and the pedicure was so relaxing, I never felt rushed and they did a fantastic job. The salon is clean and well organized. The husband and wife team are professional and courteous. This is definitely the salon I will always use in the future!

J Hawk Wonderful welcoming husband and wife duo working efficiently and comfortably.

Mariska Karaszi BEST NAIL SALON IN SAN CARLOS!! Every time I come here, my nails are perfect. They are quick but detailed, and the price is right. My natural nails never have been this strong and long, and they are amazing! Love Sky nails!! This time I got light lavender with chrome on top, pics dont do it justice!

Keara B Tammy did a great job with my special request. I brought an inspiration picture of the nails I wanted for my bridal shower and she did and incredible job. I even specifically asked for the shortest nails while still keeping the almond shape and they’re simply the perfect length. I felt so relaxed I started dozing off mid manicure. So impressed, definitely recommend.

Julia F. Have been coming here for a while, but noticed the quality is becoming inconsistent. My latest manicure, done for a vacation, was very poor quality. The second coat was carelessly applied without much attention to detail. Will sadly be looking for a new salon... :/

Kim Wormley The level of care here goes beyond what I expected. My pedicure felt highly personalized, particularly with respect to maintaining just-right water temperature. I should also mention the cedar, citrus, lemongrass, green tea, and rose petals. Moreover, I felt like an honored guest rather than just another client. Kudos to Lisa and Skip for creating an intimate, impactful and relaxing space!

Ayla Y Family owned business that cares about the wellbeing of your nails!! So kind and took exceptional care of my feet. Thank you Lisa☺️

Melissa Benkis I’m so happy I found this new salon in downtown. It’s a bit tucked away but very cute and clean on the inside. It would be a fun place for a bridal party or little girls birthday. I got a very relaxing massage and herbal detox with my treatment. Added plus is the mimosa!

Alice Egar best place for foot care!!
