    Gel-x extensions with nail design
    Lucille B.

    I don't write reviews on Yelp but I had to write one up for my nail tech Evelyn! She was super detailed in her work and she had gave me exactly what I wanted when I showed her the picture. I usually get nervous about getting my nails done because I have had bad experiences in the past with other nail technicians at other salons. But Evelyn was very attentive and precise with her work. I'd highly recommend this place if you have any specific designs!

    Gel design by Katherine
    S S.

    I made an appointment for a gel manicure with Katherine (Kat). I asked her if she could do a gel cateye design like a post I found on IG. She said they didn't have those colors but had similar ones and I chose 5 different colors. I liked how she shaped my nails and she was very meticulous resulting in a clean manicure. It was a bit pricey but I love how it turned out and I'm going to be so sad when they grow out in a few weeks. Highly recommend seeing Kat for gel manis.

    This is by far the best nail salon I've been to! Everything about Glamour Nail Salon is 5/5 and I'm looking forward to my next appointment!! One of the biggest things that stands out to me is the level of care they put into their services. Even something as simple as getting my previous gel-ex removed feels like a luxury experience. At many nail salons I've been to, they try to pry the fake nails off and it always leads to my nails ripping or in a lot of pain. Here, they take the time to soak/file it off. They also do such good cuticle care here. I've gotten gel-ex twice now and both times I was very happy with the end results. The shape of my nails, the designs, everything is perfect. They are sooo good at nail designs, I was shocked. They check in with you several times to make sure you're happy about your nails. I've had my appointments with Evelyn both times so definitely recommend her. Another thing that I noticed was they are very clean. I feel like a lot of nail salons will reuse the same files, buffing blocks, and tools on multiple customers but here, you get a new, fresh one. The prices are definitely on the higher side but you get what you pay for! Will be coming back to get my holiday nails.

    Wedding nails by Sharon!
    Shannon C.

    I decided it was finally time to get my nails done for the first time in my life a few weeks before the wedding so I booked an appointment with Sharon just to see how it went. I was a bit apprehensive at first since I was nervous about my cuticles being cut but Sharon was swift and deft with her work that it put me at ease. I chose gel-x nails and Sharon did such a good job that I booked with her again a few days before my wedding! She's great at delicate artwork and really takes the time and patience to draw things out after you give her a few examples/pictures. She was able to do double happiness characters on my nails and put some gold flakes on the flowers! I absolutely love my wedding nails and I'm so happy she absolutely nailed the design I had in mind. I highly recommend booking with Sharon if you ever come to Glamour Nail Salon! She's really nice and great to work with and will take the time to understand the artwork you want!

    Sharon was amazing with the gel x nails. Super detailed and patient. I'd say the final product looks even better than the reference photo! Overall very calming and relaxing. Highly recommend!

    Cherry Blossom nails by Katherine
    Cherry L.

    My first time at this salon. Loved how Katherine took her time with my nails and cuticle care. I showed an inspo pic telling Katherine I wanted Cherry Blossom nails. We picked a different ombre then the inspo pic. Loved how the nails turned out! For those interested in price. This was $120 not including tip yet. Definitely recommend this salon!

    A very unassuming nail salon, but you can't beat the prices! I got a gel mani and gel pedi for $100. It was really easy to book an appointment online + the location is right in the middle of downtown San Mateo. I didn't get the name of my nail artist, but she was very kind and worked really efficiently. I was in and out of the salon within the hour. They also have a great selection of jelly gel nail polish, which I'm a huge fan of. I've heard great things about their nail design and art, so I'll have to come back if I have any new ideas!

    Valerie C.

    Got my nails done by Evelyn and I absolutely loved it! She took her time doing my nails and choosing the colors since I'm not really great choosing pink nail colors. Will definitely be back!

    Loved it here! The vibe was super relaxed and the music was great--it made me feel comfortable the whole time. I got a simple pink gel set and they turned out exactly how I wanted. Super happy with how they look. I'll definitely be coming back!

    The scheduling is a mess and communication is poor. They told me I could take a slot and I responded that I'd take the slot right after I saw their message. But they didn't send a confirmation. And then one day before my appointment, they told me the slot was gone. It's totally their fault of tricking me to take a slot then not responding timely to confirm it, which resulted in canceling my appointment. It's only 2 days before my trip and where the hell can I book nails appointment at the moment? Also they didnt apologize for the inconvenience they brought and kept on ghosting me. Horrible service and I'd not recommend this place to anyone. Also I've done nails at the place before, their manicure quality is horrible, my nail broke easily and it was painful as hell. They never responded to the suffering I had and I was shocked by their coldness and unprofessional attitude. However I never had such situation after doing nails at other salons.

    Expectation

    Wanted to like this place due to most review and design nails that I saw were positive. After coming here, I can say it is overpriced and service was okay. Before coming in, I requested a quote via text by sending them the design I was looking to get. From there, I also booked an appointment on a Thursday Morning. Day of appointment- I came in on time and there was only two young female. Took about half an hour to actually get started. I tried to start a conversation with the nail tech that I had. However, she had AirPods on and was not one to talk. So I let her be. I decided to change my design as she gave me colors to look at and choose from. Instead I showed a picture (from one of their own!) and asked for two nail extension as I recently broke two of my nails. It happened to be that she had a similar, if not, the same design on one of her hands! It was a French ombré with gold glitter and flakes. The process: She did a great job with my cuticle and shaping my nail. Mid way through the process, she messed up, not once but twice. She directed me to put my hands into the UV light and a minute later was like "oh no!" And asked me to remove my hand. I was confused and it turns out she forgot to clean up the gel that was on the sides of the nails before she had directed me to insert my hand in. After, I saw her make a correction on my left thumb nail but she did not bother trying to blend it out. I didn't mind that at all actually, I was not expecting perfection. Mistakes happen. However, when she was done... she had asked how it was. I saw my nails and they did not look like the photo I show her. On top of that, it was so uneven and bumpy! I was running late to my other appointments so I did not want to redo it or have them redo it at all as it took over an hour and a half already. Total cost was $120 with 2 nails having extensions. (This is before tip) I don't think I'll return here doing any gel designs with French ombré. For this price, I expected a more decent job. I wouldn't be bother by the design but because my entire nail is not even and very lumpy... I was disappointed. I still give it a 3 star as I believe that the nail tech did try but most likely isn't her forte. She did not rush at all during this process.

    Kat is absolutely amazing :) Every time I show her my inspo pics, she recreates them so much better! She's great at helping me pick out colors and doing all designs. She's very friendly & detailed with her work. I'd highly recommend her!!

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.
