Y Salon & Spa - San Mateo (CA)

5 /5 Tara Robenalt: Lee is an exceptional colorist and stylist! She created a beautiful highlight that complemented my natural hair color beautifully! I do not want to color or hide my incoming gray and she matched a blonde tone beautifully. Eliminated the yellows from a previous highlight. Daniella did a fantastic job on my gel french manicure. The base color is a beautiful glossy pink.

5 /5 Christine Fraher: So happy to have finally found a nice, gentle, careful, and detail oriented nail tech in a beautiful, big, and fun salon in the Bay Area!! I can’t recommend Ale (short for Alessandra I believe) enough for your nails. She was very gentle and careful with my hands and was a perfectionist in shaping my nails and even made my acrylic tips thin and finely tipped! My nails feel and look elegant and functional (and NOT chonky and unusable) I spent $50 before tip for an acrylic fill which took 2 hours from start to finish. I have always feared getting my nails done because more often than not, nail techs I’ve gone to in the bay area have been aggressive and careless leaving me with cut fingers, damaged nail beds, and an irritated mood. Getting your nails done should feel like a treat and with Ale at this salon, it is!! The other nail techs working around me were all very friendly and would come to check on me from time to time. The atmosphere here is not only beautiful and aesthetic, but also very cheerful and relaxing. I will definitely be back!

5 /5 Kelsey Shaw: I had an absolutely incredible experience at Y Hair Salon! I went in looking for a fresh, vibrant blonde, and Yvonne and Li totally exceeded my expectations. They took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, offered expert advice, and worked their magic to create the perfect shade of blonde that complements my style beautifully. Not only did they deliver flawless color, but the entire atmosphere at the salon was warm, inviting, and professional. I left feeling more confident and refreshed than ever. If you’re looking for a salon that combines skill, creativity, and a genuine passion for making you look your best, I can’t recommend Y Hair Salon—and especially Yvonne and Li—enough!

2 /5 Meili: Services received: - Hair Cut (4 stars) - Hair Color (zero stars) - Pedicure with Gel (5 stars) - Manicure (1 star) - Communication (zero stars) Hair color was 0 stars because they basically did whatever they wanted and didn’t try to understand my request. I asked for a brown hair color, basically a return to my natural color and I used my hair strands to express what I was looking for, I try to express it using the book the provided with the hair samples, and the lady kept focusing on my gray and looking confused. I ended up with black hair. There was so much back and forth on what services I was getting—so much! I was there for 3.5 hours! In their defense, they offered to fix my hair color, which is pitch black, but I’m too scared of giving them a second chance.
