It's always quick and easy to book an appointment, whether by phone or through their website. Sometimes I get extensions, but most of the time I come in for gel polish. No matter what service I choose, they always take their time with my manicure and regularly check in to make sure I'm happy with how everything looks. I also really appreciate how clean and well-maintained the salon is every time I visit--it always feels welcoming and comfortable. Another thing I love is how talented the nail artists are. Whenever I bring in an inspiration photo, they do an amazing job matching the design and bringing it to life. Their attention to detail and dedication to making sure you leave happy really stands out. If you're looking for a new nail salon, I highly recommend giving this place a try. It has become my go-to salon, and even if I move to another city someday, I know I'll keep coming back!

I recently moved to Foster City and was looking for a good nail salon in the area. This place had…read morehigh ratings, so I decided to try it for a Gel-X removal ($30). Martin assisted me. He was polite, quiet, and gentle with my nails, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the removal technique was not a great experience. My fingers were placed in a tub of acetone and I was told it would be about 5 minutes, but it ended up being about 10. My fingertips became very dry and pruney. In my past experiences, other nail techs typically use acetone-soaked cotton applied directly to my nail and wrapped with foil, which better protects the skin. After the removal, I was asked to wash my hands and was told the service was done. However, I noticed gel residue left on my skin and some still on my nails. When I mentioned it, I was told "no worries, it'll come off in the shower". Well it felt uncomfortable for me! The remaining gel was only wiped after I requested it, and there is still visible residue. For the hour that he spent removing it off, it definitely was not worth the price at all. I've had many Gel-X removals before and they were usually much cleaner and more efficient and cheaper priced ($15) and took only 30 mins. Giving 2 stars because Martin was kind, but I wasn't satisfied with the overall result.

She even texted me later to see how I was doing (she was right; the redness was completely gone later that night). I will definitely make this part of my skin care routine moving forward!

Just left the salon with a disappointing experience…read more I originally scheduled my appointment to be on a Saturday at 215PM with a specific stylist and on Thursday, Bliss & Blade called me to inform that he was busy at that time and I asked if anyone else was available at the time to accommodate. They said yes no problem, and even sent a confirmation email to me on Friday with who I'd be seeing. Great, no problem. I arrive minutes before 215PM and they informed me that it'll be just a few minutes until I get seated. This is a 3 day weekend on a Saturday so I knew it was going to be already busy. Again, no problem. 15 minutes passes by, still waiting as my stylist is busy with another client, no problem. 30 minutes passes, still waiting. During this time, I do get asked was "please show us a picture of what highlights you'd like to get". Keep in mind that this is the only acknowledgement I get during while waiting, nothing like "thank you for waiting, appreciate your patience". As 45 minutes passes by, I can see that my stylist is still working on his client and probably won't be done for god knows how long at this point. so I thought it is not worth it and just asked the front desk to reschedule my appointment. It is only then I get an apology. Needless to say, this was a very disappointing experience, given the amount of great service I have received here numerous times previously and just cancelled when I got hime. I'm not so sure if I want to return.

Even better, parking is easy--a rare and much-appreciated bonus! From the moment you walk through the door, you're greeted by the most calming aromatherapy scent that instantly puts you at ease. The front desk team is warm, welcoming, and wonderfully organized. Before your service, you'll complete a thoughtful intake form that allows you to personalize your experience. One detail I especially appreciated was being able to indicate my conversation preferences ahead of time, so there was never any awkwardness about whether I wanted to chat, relax in silence, or enjoy something in between. It's such a thoughtful touch that immediately sets the tone for a truly relaxing experience. For my Swedish massage, I also appreciated being able to mark areas of tension directly on a body diagram so my therapist knew exactly where I needed the most attention. My appointment was with **Owen, and he was exceptional.** He quickly reviewed my intake form, asked a few thoughtful questions, and immediately understood what my body needed. His work was truly magical. He relieved the tightness in my upper back from international travel and long hours at the computer, and the cupping add-on was exceptional. Owen is a true master of his craft. I also have to give a special shout-out to the front desk team. Whether communicating by email, over the phone, or in person, everyone is genuinely kind, welcoming, and accommodating. Their customer service is every bit as exceptional as the treatments themselves. From the tranquil setting and outstanding care to the convenient location and stress-free parking, every detail of the experience feels thoughtfully designed. I can't recommend Kanna Spa highly enough. I already can't wait for my next visit!

I found out the day we requested might not have an esthetician available, but Jenny and Tiffany texted us and really helped try to find a good time and day that would work. They figured out how to schedule both sets of services so they would work with just one esthetician and made it feel very smooth. I ended up getting the City Life facial with Kim plus the lymphatic drainage add on. She was wonderful!! From start to finish, I knew I was in great care. I also got a deep tissue massage with Sammy and she was just as wonderful. I left feeling incredibly relaxed and I know my sister did too.
