    My pedicure
    Jessica Y.

    My husband and I stopped into Glossy Nail Bar while visiting SLO and had a really nice experience overall. My husband got the Classic Manicure ($30). He mentioned the staff were very attentive and kept checking to make sure he wasn't in any discomfort during the service, which he appreciated. They were careful with his cuticles and didn't over trim them, which is something that can easily go wrong at some places. He also enjoyed chatting with the staff and had a complimentary mimosa while relaxing. I got the Glossy Deluxe Pedicure ($58) with a gel polish upgrade (+$15). The service includes quite a few steps: sea salt soak, callus remover, sugar scrub, orange slice treatment, mask with hot towel, paraffin, and an 8-minute massage with massage butter. It definitely felt like a full pampering experience rather than a quick pedicure. I happened to get Tiffany, who I later learned is one of their top artists, and she did an excellent job. She was detailed, gentle, and very thorough. Since I'm pregnant I skipped the mimosa and just had orange juice, which they happily provided. The salon itself felt very clean, modern, and high-end. It was quite busy while we were there, but I never felt rushed during the service. Everything still felt attentive and relaxed despite the crowd. One helpful thing to know: they offer a small discount if you pay with cash, Zelle, or Venmo. Overall it was a really pleasant visit with great service, a relaxing atmosphere, and high attention to detail. I'd happily come back next time I'm in SLO.

    Lisa was so amazing and friendly! She helped me make up my mind on what color to do for my pedicure and was very patient with me :) My toes look so

    Fresh set

    Jenny!!! Just nailed it!!! I'm super particular and Jenny just did such an amazing job. Thank you so much!

    I can't recommend Lisa enough! I actually followed her to Glossy Nails from another salon because she is THAT good. She does such an amazing job every single time, and I'm always so happy with how my nails turn out. She's consistently makes them look perfect. On top of that, she is genuinely such a pleasure to chat with and makes every appointment so enjoyable.

    Amazing staff highly recommend! Everyone is super sweet and always make sure you're happy when you leave .

    UPDATE: the comment left is a complete lie. I will upload a screenshot of our "conversation." I was never offered to get my nails redone. There was never even a response. I never even threatened to harm their business. Either they are confusing me for another person or they are lying to look innocent. I confronted her about it and she just left me on read again. The people handling this business is very problematic. The one who serviced me is a man, and his name was written as Simon. Even if I got the name wrong, it's a man who provided a service, not two women. And also, I would like to see the photos they "posted" . Also, not sure if Hoa is saying their name is Maria or that I am Maria? I think they are confusing me for another person, which I hope because they are just lying. Posted before updated: The service was ok but I actually got really bad athlete's foot a few hours later. It got so bad that it spread to other parts of my body. I went to a doctor and confirmed its athlete's foot. I messaged them on here requesting a refund but I was just left on read. It's frustrating because I've never had this happen to me. Please stay away, especially for a pedicure. The one who did my pedicure was Simon, a MALE. His name was written on my receipt. My appointment was on March 31st @ 4p.

    Shoutout my girl Lisa aka Sa! She did an amazing job. As soon as I sat down she offered me a complimentary drink, and made sure the water temperature in the tub was good. I requested acrylic so the corner of my big toe could be more square (it's broken). She did me so good, and even recommend I use a powder instead of acrylic to look more natural. She did not disappoint, and it looks outstanding! She is very personable, and kind. I highly recommend you request her if you think about coming to glossy. I will definitely be back at this business!

    Best nail salon hands down in SLO. Ivy always takes great care of me. They are the best at complex nail designs, they can replicate any inspo you bring to them. Top tier 10/10 recommend. Also they are SO friendly and nice.

    On two separate occasions i have gone here for a gel manicure and gel pedicure. Both experiences exceeded expectations and staff were pleasant, efficient, and great at their craft. This will absolutely be my new go to place and for anyone who likes relaxing, upscale-esque but still casual enough to have a frozen margarita machine nail salons, i cannot recommend glossy enough!

    Full set acrylic

    I first visited this salon for my wedding nails a year ago, and they were absolutely perfect! It was my first time there, and I was in love! Most recently, I had my post-birth mommy's first mani-pedi, and once again, the results were amazing of course!! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and every visit feels like a special treat. The staff are incredibly talented, genuine, kind and it's clear they truly care about their craft and their clients. The quality of work is top-notch, and the ambiance is beautiful, making every appointment a relaxing experience. Whether you become a long-term regular or you are just passing through town, this nail salon will leave a lasting impression on you. They genuinely deserve all the praise and recognition. As someone who has lived in San Luis for 10 years, I'm so happy to have found my go-to salon. I was there for their grand opening, and now, as they approach their one-year anniversary, I can honestly say they've become my favorite spot. Thank you for everything you do for the community. I know I speak for many when I say how much you're appreciated. For all the girlie girls out there, it's a BIG deal. God bless you all!

    Amazing! Got my feet done my nails done (manipedi) the Gel X looks like my reference pic and the guy who did them was so quick! Couldn't have asked for a better experience + complimentary drink!

    They always do such an amazing job here at bringing your inspiration into reality! Ivy did this stunning set on me, and her attention to detail and care really shines through here!! So grateful to have this beautiful establishment in the area!

I'm 54 years old and have been getting my very bushy brows waxed since the 6th grade. For the past 10 years, Candice at Brow Therapy has been the ONLY person I trust with my eyebrows. They are coarse, grow in every direction, and have always been a source of insecurity for me. I am incredibly picky, and after many disappointing experiences over the years, I found the brow guru of the California Central Coast in San Luis Obispo. Candice is not only the best eyebrow waxer, tweezer, shaper, and scissor artist I've ever encountered, but she also runs her business with a genuine and humble, no fake BS approach that I absolutely love. She's always on time. Literally come as you are, she's got your brows. Recently, I treated myself to the 40 Minute Brow Experience, and it exceeded every expectation. The slight vibrations through the bed, the sounds through the headphones, and one touch from Candice, took me away so very quickly into a complete state of relaxation. I didn't have to make any effort to quiet my mind. After a year that included a breast cancer diagnosis and surgery, my body has been carrying an enormous amount of stress. For 40 minutes, all of it disappeared. There was no anxiety, no to do list, and no worrying about the future. I was floating on a cloud and was able to feel so present and filled with bliss throughout the entire treatment. And even after, I was walking on the clouds during grocery shopping at a peak hour! This was more than eyebrow maintenance and self care, it was healing. Candice, thank you for giving me 40 minutes of peace and fab brows during a very difficult time. I will never ever go back to a regular brow wax again. By Appointment Only, I book through the VAGARO App. On Instagram @browtherapy 805-550-9986

Second of all, I've been experimenting with slightly different cuts - longer bangs, short bangs, layers, etc - and she has been so amazing at really taking in all of the little silly details and requests. Today I decided to try shorter bangs and layers, and a rounded shape in the back and I LOVE IT Alissa totally knows how to bring out the natural texture of my hair. Tired of that one hairdresser that cuts your hair the exact same way no matter what you ask for?? Go to Alissa!!! P.S. Although this review is mainly in praise of the lovely Alissa, I really love this salon as a whole. As a lesbian, it's really nice to spend a couple hours in a space that's not only queer-friendly but genuinely a queer space. ‍
