I decided to try out this place based on the high rating of the Yelp reviews (note: this business is listed twice when you Yelp it). I came on a drizzly Wednesday at 4pm and I was really lucky to find street parking right in front (I'm not sure if there is a private parking lot available or not). I was the only person there and the hostess greeted me and asked what services I wanted. I said I only needed a pedicure and she was insisted that I needed a manicure; I said no thanks and then she started asking me why I don't want a manicure and stating that a manicure would be good for me. Let me state that I do NOT like it when I go into a salon and feel pressured into the up-sell - that is NOT a relaxing atmosphere. Next she points me to the wall where the polishes are and tells me to pick a color. While I'm browsing she asks me if I'm going to do the gel polish and I say no, just the regular nail polish. I have to decline three (!) times before she stops insisting on the gel polish. After I pick a color, I grab a seat at the spa chair that was set up. The chairs are pretty nice, but the water level was a bit low. I didn't see the technician remove any of the tools from a sterilized bag so I was a bit worried about the santization/sterilization of the equipment.. but I didn't experience any adverse effects from my pedicure. The technician who was doing my pedicure was nice; she was talkative but not too much so and she gave me an awesome leg/foot massage. Really, it was soo good. But, she kept pausing every so often to turn and watch what was happening on the TV (which was behind her; the show Ellen was on). I felt a bit awkward when that would happen... as in, I would like my pedicure completed so I can go home. The total for the pedicure was $20 (+ $5 tip). No doubt this is a pretty good price for a pedicure since I was expecting it to be around $30 but I don't think I'll be coming back... maybe just for the foot massage! read more

Bety and Lihn are amazing! So nice and welcoming. The salon is very comfortable inside, not cluttered at all. They always offer something to drink and are always on time for my appointment. I see Bety and I love her! I have acrylics and get a fill every 2 weeks. I'm a hairstylist so my hands are in water every day. My nails NEVER lift. Bety is so good at what she does and she doesn't mind how picky I am with the shape, she will fix everything until I'm perfectly happy. I love this place! And my favorite part, they have so many polishes to pick from! You will not be let down if you come here, there is free parking on the street too! Always the best service the best nails! read more

I love all the ladies at Four Seasons! In particular, Lynn has my eyebrow game on fleek, Lee holds it down on the pedi, and Amy slays the gel mani! I always call ahead for an appointment because they do get busy. Also, parking can be difficult, but there is 2 hour parking along the back! Drive through the alley on the right immediately after the salon and there's usually plenty of parking. Thanks ladies! read more

Betty is freaking AMAZING. Called when they opened at 10 AM and was able to get an appointment at 11 AM, which was super perfect because I had class at 1250. There were parking spots right infront of the shop, so super convenient. Came in and I had to wait a little bit, but that was okay I dont really mind waiting. Anyways Betty, the owner is super super nice and literally the queen of acrylics. I came in with nails with super bad lifting after about a week. She fixed all of them and shaped them to pretty much perfection. She was explaining why my nails looked so bad and she was able to fix every mistake the other place made. I highly recommend coming here, just make an appointment early read more

Four Seasons Nails Salon - Sorry had to save from Snapchat, but gel acrylic fill w/ a one nail fix done by Betty - Nail Salons Near Me - Millbrae, California

Best pedicure on the peninsula! I've been going to Betty and Linh for the past two years. When I found out that they got their own place, I WAS SO HAPPY FOR THEM! They are really good people who do their jobs well. When they were at their previous store, I had to always call in advance to get an appointment because they were so highly in demand. So my advice is to call beforehand as they are popular and can get busy. It's worth it as it will be the best mani/pedi you've ever had. The one star review stating there isn't any parking is complete BOGUS. I've lived across the street for the past two years and I (nor my guests) have ever had a problem finding parking in the area. This new location is far better than their last because there aren't meters. Parking is free! Also Four Seasons is next door to the BART train, so it's very convenient for commuters. read more

I've always dreamed of a manicurist that I could swear by just like reese witherspoon could in legally blonde. Someone who would listen to my excessive rambling and have my hands best interest at heart. Along came Betty. Sweet, kind, and truly an expert at what she does. She remembers your name, and welcomes you with a warm, pleasant smile each time you walk in. Extra win for me? She'll speak Cantonese and forgive me while I butcher my chinglish! I haven't been speaking as much Chinese as I should, only on occasion when I need to order my ha gaw and sui mai at dim sum. Jk, I speak more than that, but it is easy to lose the fluency if you don't use it often. I am extremely uncareful with my nails, I can never keep a manicure longer than 3 days, if I'm lucky. Even gel and shellac would last me about a week, maybe 2 at "better" places. But BETTY, I have no clue how she does it but 3 1/2 weeks, no chipping, no cracking, nothing. HOW?! I don't know, but I am amazed. The pedicures are also great! They really take the time to scrub you down, massage with lotion and rub oil with a hot stone. They also have a stamp card for pedicures only. 10 then a complimentary pedicure. Parking like all others have mentioned is very limited and free for only an hour. If you can't find anything in front, drive pass the salon as it's on your RIGHT, pass it and make the first right into a little alley way and there's additional 2 hour parking on the street behind the salon. These ladies work hard, you'll need to make an appointment, I've watched them become exponentially busier the past 2 months because everyone's realizing they're one of the best. They'll try their best to accomdate you if they can, if not just come back, it's really worth it. The last time I brought my mom across town, 2 shellac manicures and 2 regular pedicures. $40 per person, SO CHEAP. Come, save money, be happy, relax, and tip well! They also have those slippers you can purchase if you forgot you were getting a pedicure and wore your gym shoes... :) See you soon Betty!! read more

YAY Betty and Lynn!!!!! I am so extremely happy for you both. I have been a client of Betty's for over a year now and won't go to another person to do my nails. She is talented, attentive, and honestly gives the best manicures that are high quality and can last two to three weeks (I usually do acrylic fills). Lynn is just as wonderful and the pedis are so relaxing with their hot stone massage. Congratulations to two truly fantastic people. If anyone is looking for a great mani and pedis, don't waste any time looking at other yelp reviews. Call them ASAP! read more

Not at all happy with my nails. This is the next day. I asked for coffin shape and told her the length I wanted. She just kept filing them down. Also took her over an hour and a half. I had high hopes for this spot because everyone seemed to love them. read more

Four Seasons Nails Salon - Not at all happy with my nails. This is the next day. - Nail Salons Near Me - Millbrae, California

Unfortunately, I was disappointed with this place. I came in for gel nail polish manicure. The lady was scratching and ruining my nails when cleaning my cuticles to the point when I wanted to stop her. Suddenly, before applying gel nail polish, ladies switched, and the other lady started to work on my nails. She did three layers; it was awful, because my nails looks ugly, bulky, and were very heavy. Not feminine at all. I took it off in 3 days myself at home, because I couldn't be out with those ugly nails. I will never come back there again. read more

The ladies here are amazing. They take their time to ensure you leave the salon as a happy patron with sexy claws. The salon has a great selection of colors and their pricing is fair. I will definitely be back!! read more

I yelped this place while I was staying at the Westin across the freeway. It was easy to find and parking was not hard at all. They convinced me to try the gel for the nails and of course it ended up being $30 for just the manicure but it's still on after two weeks and my nails feel a lot stronger. Otherwise it's $28 for mani/pedi My toes were $20 and were very well done. The owners are sisters and are super nice. If you are in the area I recommend this nail salon. read more

Lynn and Betty are amazing! Defiantly perfectionist highly recommend them. Wouldn't go anywhere wls read more

Really love this place! I've been trying out so many places in Mountain View, Millbrae, Sunnyvale, San Mateo, without a favorite. I'm ready to settle finally! Yes, I'm giving up my Groupon days of searching for the perfect mani/pedi place! Logistics: I paid $30 for a basic mani/pedi, appointment highly recommended! I called in the morning on a weekday for a same day appointment. I heard them turn away a few walk ins. BOOK AHEAD OF TIME! Setting: The place is small but clean- has 4 chairs and 2 tables for hands. It is conveniently located right on El Camino between the Millbrae Caltrain/BART and The Kitchen Restaurant. They have a parking area perpendicular to El Camino- be sure to turn in. Otherwise you'd have to park on the street - but beware, there's a 1 hr limit. Their polish selection is moderately sized- mainly OPI, Essie, China Glaze- plenty for me to choose from! Personnel: Amy was my nail technician- she is kind, thorough, detailed, and very pleasant to talk to! She gave my callused feet a nice exfoliation before a short massage + hot stone application-- ahhh! felt amazing! wow! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summing it up: I can't wait to be a "regular" here- so happy to have stumbled upon this great little place. They even have a frequent stamper card: buy 9, get 1 free pedi. read more

Betty and Linh!!!! That is ALL you need to know! They are the owners of this nail salon (yay for women-run small business!) and they do an amazing job. I have been going to see them since they worked at a different salon in Burlingame, and now that they have their own place, I happily followed them. They really care about their clients -- they actually TALK to me and remember what's going on in my life, in addition to doing an impeccable job on my nails. They do the very best cuticle work out there. Betty is meticulous...she will go back over and over your cuticles to make sure they are perfect. And their gel manicures are top-notch. They always look perfect! I love these two and would absolutely recommend both of them 100%! read more

Every time it's perfection. I've been getting my nails done for 15 years at places all over SF and the peninsula. Amy, Betty, and Lynn, are all excellent. My gel usually lasts almost 3 weeks. I get eyebrows and waxing there too, they leave brows clean and still full like I asked. I'm usually super picky about brows and go to the benefit counter in Macys downtown but Betty always listens to what shape I want. Very busy all the time, so always make an appointment. They know customers by name and are polite and friendly. They are clean. They have a wide selection of gels no chip and regular Essie OPI and other top brands. The massage chairs work well. The store front is discrete, making it a true hidden gem. Prices are competitive. read more

Four Seasons Nails Salon - This time I did short and square. I've done other oval and coffin shapes at this salon and they always come out beautiful. - Nail Salons Near Me - Millbrae, California

Under new ownership. .... We walked in for a mani and pedi which is okay to do at most nail salons at 4:30 they told us to come back at 5:30 so we ate next door even though we weren't really hungry. They got started on my mom right away but completely ignored me until 6:15 d while i waited the owner along with either clients or friends continued to have a conversation in Vietnamese while I sat in between them. That was really rude. Even if they were speaking English it would still be completely rude to hold a conversation with them since I was in the middle. I couldn't even concentrate on reading. I have enough Vietnamese friends to know when someone is talking about you especially when they keep looking at you. The old owners didn't do that. I always felt comfortable with them and at different nail salons. That went on for about 40 minutes until I finally got moved into the pedicure chair. The owner was nice LATER on when we were done at around 7:40 with just our pedicures (we had been there so long that we didnt get to get our manicures) but I think it's rude to hold conversations in different languages cause it's clear that during some of that time they were speaking about me. No one talked to me telling me it would be a little longer of a wait, it wasn't until I was tellIng my Mom forget it that it was too late that they noticed me and seated me in a chair. They did do a good pedicure but for walk ins it's better to reschedule if you cannot do it when you say you can, or at least acknowledge that I've been waiting. My mom will be coming back but I won't. read more

Make an appointment because these ladies are busy. I've been turned away bc I didn't haven't one. They do a great job and Betty is really nice. My gel manicure lasts two to three weeks. The price is decent, $27 for a gel manicure read more

my first time here was awesome! Lynn did my acrylic/gel almond nails (uploading a picture!) and she worked meticulously on them, seriously! she spent almost 2 hours making sure that they were close to perfection. She is truly one of those nail techs that work hard to satisfy her clients! You must ask for her, and don't forget to tip! read more

Four Seasons Nails Salon - acrylic gel almond nails! reversed tips! love!!!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Millbrae, California

One of the best places I've had my nails done! I have been in twice now and plan on coming at least once a month. I get a manicure and pedicure. The selection of colors are fantastic, they have new and popular nail polish colors (crackle in many colors). They also have a great selection of not-to-beat-up current magazines. There is also a TV to watch if you prefer not to read. It's a pretty small shop with a few ladies that work their, but they all seem very sweet. There are I think 4 pedicure chairs and two manicure stations and a back room where I guess they do waxing. Manicure: My manicure was done in the pedicure chair, and it's done before the pedicure so you can read your magazine while getting the pedi. The lady doing my manicure wasn't over clipping my cuticles and was very attentive. She suggested getting a gel top coat that lasts 2 weeks but I declined and she didn't get angry or push the matter. Pedicure: The pedicure chairs actually work, imagine that! They also try to continually press the button so it keeps massaging you. I also really enjoyed the pillow for my lap so I could rest them while reading. The water initially was too hot but she fixed it readily. The woman doing my toes took her time with the massage and was also attentive. She also made sure that my nail polish looked perfect before I left and helped me put my shoes on. Total cost: $30 for both a mani and pedi (without tip). Great deal for such great service! read more

I had a great experience at Four Seasons Nail Salon yesterday. I was staying at the Westin San Francisco Airport and I wanted to get my nails done before I went out. I called to find out what time they closed. It was a half hour before they closed. They stayed open an hour late do my mani pedi done! My nails look awesome and feel great. The place was clean and they had a great color selection. They offered me a beverage. The prices were reasonable. I couldn't have had a better experience. I would recommend the salon to anyone traveling to SFO and staying nearby. A + customer service. Also, the owner recommended a Japanese restaurant down the street, Zen Bistro. My plans in the city fell through so we ended up in Millbrae at the restaurant. Great recommendation. The food was fresh and the prices were reasonable! read more

Linh and Betty are the best!! I always leave with a smile on my face because I always get the perfect manicure and pedicure. And I'm picky!! They're awesome. Tip! If you can't find parking on the El camino side, they have 2hr parking on Serra st (the street behind the nail salon). Try out Four Seasons you will not be disappointed. read more

Four Seasons Nails Salon - All the manicurists are liscenced. - Nail Salons Near Me - Millbrae, California

Called yesterday to make an appt for 11:30, clearly saying that I need to leave latest by 12:45 as I need to drive to work. They said it'd be no problem. Just walked into my appt, all 3 girls are working on other people and it'll "be a 10 minute wait" but they still say they'll be able to get me out on time. First time here, location is easy to find. Clean, very small. But what's the point of making an appt when I could've just walked in? Will update afterwards. read more

I've been coming here for 4 years and the service is getting worse and worse. Some of the staff are awesome. 2 of them have major attitudes though. My last few visits haven't gone well and I've had enough I get a variety of services. I'm a regular long time customer who always tips well, but still the bad attitude. My last gel manicure I was cut 6 times, one was so bad it took a week to completely heal. They do take appointments, but 9 times out of 10 I end up waiting more than 30 mins. I don't say this lightly because I'm always in support of the small businesses. But in this case find somewhere else. read more

First timer here. Had an excellent manicure, better than most I've been to. Helen is great and it is such an excellent surprise from a hard-to-notice shop on El Camino. Highly recommended and will definitely come back in the future. read more

I've been going to Four Seasons pretty regularly since I moved to San Bruno almost 2 years ago, and I am so glad I did! In short, all of the ladies put so much time and effort into making sure your nails look as great as you want them to! The only downside (which I would subtract a star for but hear me out), is that even with an appointment you could end up waiting up to 15 minutes to actually get started. So why not knock this review down to four stars? The reason you end up having to wait is because they really take their time in making sure your nails look top notch. If I have to wait and extra 15 minutes for a super relaxing mani/pedi that looks great and lasts, I'll take it! read more

Amy is kind, patient, and has a steady hand! She took her time in making sure my toe nails are painted nicely...i messed up my thumb nail, and she patiently spent more time in fixing my thumb nail that another technician fixed but didn't look that great. I'll def go back to Amy again! read more

Don't need to say much more as I agree with other yelpers here. Betty is awesome and super fast! read more

So I went here about a month ago for the first time to get my nails done. Called last minute and hey we're able to squeeze me in for a gel manicure and pedicure. They did a very neat Job on my toes and nails and was so pleased with the results and the best part my manicure lasted for almost 15 days. The girl that did my nails was Jessica I believe and Lee did my toes both very good! Definitely will go back read more

I don't ever make an appointment with a specific person but have had a great experience every time. I especially love Betty, Amy and Lynn. The prices can't be beat. $43 for a gel removal, gel manicure and regular pedicure. Keep in mind like all nail salons they can be busy and run behind in the evenings or weekends. If your schedule allows book the first appointment of the day. Allow about 2 hours for a gel manicure and pedicure but hey it's your time to relax anyways so enjoy that time in their high end massage chairs reading magazines. read more

Very friendly, listened to what I wanted, and exceeded my expectations! Helen is the best! Thank you :)

Visited here with mum for mani/pedi combo with Betty and Tiffany. Both of us haven't done much self pampering for a long time for various reasons. I have to say, out of all places I visited before, I had the best nail trimming done here. They really know how to clean up your nails, especially your little toes. Both ladies are wonderful and Betty is very thorough and really took care of my mum. Service is great. Results are wonderful. Price is reasonable. One star deducted for the waiting time. This place is busy. We had a reservation, came in on time during weekdays at 11ish. We waited for half an hour. So be prepared if you want to swing by. If life doesn't get into our way, both my mum and myself will be back hopefully very soon. read more

I love Betty and Lin. They are fantastic at their job and always take the time to make sure I walk out happy. The hot stone massage at the end is amazing! I am that person that always takes two steps and Jen smudges my nail polish - they have and will repeatedly fix it without a fuss. Super happy to have a new location - it is comfortable, clean and the service is super! read more

I couldn't have said it better, Yelp. Meh, I've experienced better. I went last week with a living social voucher. Even though I made an appointment, they had one person do both my pedi and mani... and the entire thing took almost 2 hours... and not in a good way. I would never complain if the massage went too long or if it was because the manicurist was overly meticulous... but this wasn't that. They were just sloooooow. I've never been bored getting a mani/pedi before. And to top it all off, my manicure turned out pretty poorly. The nail polish was clumpy and so I have little bumps all over the nails. Not the smooth, finished look I was going for. I gave an extra star because my pedicure turned out good. She did a nice job shaping my toenails. Oh and btw, the "foot massage" only covers shins and calves. My feet never even lifted off the chair. And when I asked her to do my feet, she said it would cost extra. Womp womp. If you do go to this place, I highly recommend bring YOUR OWN POLISH. The selection is measly and the polishes they do have are old and clumpy. I'm not bitter though... read more

Betty & Linh are amazing! I am currently living in Phoenix but any chance that I come home to the Bay Area I make the time to get my nails done by one of them. Today I was fortunate to have time to get a full set by Betty & she was even kind enough to mix up a custom color for me! Thank you Betty! read more

I love this place. It can get really busy so I definitely recommend making an appointment. Betty, Lynn and Amy are my favorites.

This used to be my go to nail spot. Small, no frills salon that's clean! Everything I look for. My nails usually come out looking great (although I will say that a couple of the older ladies go really quickly and aren't as detail oriented...). Make a reservation as this place is ALWAYS busy. Even with the reservation expect to wait a little though. It's worth it. The prices recently went up, but they're still competitive for the area. Overall 4 stars cause it's great minus the couple things you have to put up with. read more

Betty and her team never fail to provide great service and do a great job. Cathy did my mani this time (first time with her), and she was amazing. She cut my nails evenly without even having to look back at my other nails. Been coming here since the day they opened (3 years). I wouldn't choose to go anywhere else. Book an appointment before you visit, they get very busy. read more

Four Seasons Nails Salon - Nail Salons Near Me - Millbrae, California

The ladies here are genuinely the sweetest. They are a set of sisters and then some. Extremely polite and friendly. Overall, I think Vietnamese people are great, but you have the occasional staff that speaks ill of people in Vietnamese for no reason. I've had that happen before and I never came back, little did they know what I could understand.....hmfp Four Seasons does a wonderful job. I've had many sets of manicures and pedicures done here and they are always consistent, I never have to come back to have a nail repainted. Its a small, clean, naturally sun-lit shop with a TV, lots of magazines, massage chairs. Sometimes they offer you tea. My new addiction is the "Gelish" craze, polish that dries super fast and stays on for at least 2 weeks. I will attest that my first time doing "Gelish" nails on both fingers and toes lasted well over my 2.5 weeks in South America. With so many opportunities for chippage and scratches, like lugging baggage every which way, hiking, climbing, scavenging in the woods, zippage... etc. my nails proved invincible and without damage. MAGIC! There is a $5 off coupon on Yelp you can use to save you some dough. It costs $30 a set / per manicure / $30 per pedicure. Well worth it in my opinion. During the 3 week stretch, your nails will grow out significantly from where your skin is and you can peel the polish right off, without damaging your own nails. No need to come into the salon to have it professionally removed unless you want to have the polish removed sooner. I've referred my two friends here and they like it a lot. read more
