I would have to agree with everyone who has seen Linda for Eyebrow waxing. She is the BEST in the business and no one can match her skills! I have full eyebrows and even though the thin eyebrow line is the "IN" thing, it's not for me. I like the shape of my eyebrows to be natural but clean and that is what she does. I have been going to this salon since they were by Starbucks: before they relocated. I have not gone to anyone else and won't trust anyone else with my eyebrows. Linda is the Waxing Goddess! By the way...I heard that a few years ago this salon was on the Dr. Phil show. Ask Linda. The only thing is that Linda is high in demand so if you want her to do your brows you need to make an appointment. She also does electrolysis. read more

I've been going to Image Perfection for years. I've gotten services from almost every staff. They are all so pleasant. They are presentable and dress appropriately unlike the hoochie looking staffs at Tanforan mall (which I will never try again). Sometime I go to high-end spa with my gfs and end up paying an arm and a leg, but when it's just me, I always come back to Image Perfection. It's the perfect spa for the locals. So glad it is less than 10mins away from my home. Stephanie and the rest of the staff are warm and pleasant. Some of the regular services I have besides mani/pedi is a hot stone massage from Lu. I usually have one after playing sports. Don't let that small figure fool you. Lu is strong and will stretch all those achy joints. You just can't beat their price for the service. $90 for 90 mins is unheard of for hot stone! I've had eyebrows shaped and waxed, facials, micro-derma abrasion and diamond peel done by Linda. Oh and she does nails, too! I love the shoulder/foot massage during facials, so pampered. You just don't expect this much service from places like this or for the price. I will most likely grow old going to I.P. and continue to bring other family and friends there. read more

I have been coming to this salon regularly for 5 years now!!! The person who does my nails is Kelly. i like her work, always left a great tip..consider myself a great customer to this place. i have been very loyal and brought them more business. I called two days ago to make a reservation. Their boss picked up and said 7 pm i wrote it down , when i came he said he has me for 7:45 pm . I had to wait 1 hour until they took me in. This was very inconvenient for me, because i had my 10 months baby staying with my nanny and i only had her until 8pm. I would have left but i couldn't because i needed to get my nails done - the next day was very important event for me. the boss was rude and unprofessional. So the point is this was so terrible and frustrating! The didn't even take me at 7:45pm but @8 pm. And even then Joe started doing my mani but none was going to do my pedi.. i got really upset and asked Linda what is going on. They were just talking to each other on their language and trying to figure out smth,, i have never felt so bad in my life! Tammy came to make my pedi. i appreciate that a lot. Been screwed with time and after losing my patience i still tried to be nice and left Tammy 10$ tip for doing my regular pedi and $7 tip to Joe for doing my mani. And today i learned that THE BOSS SAID THEY WON'T BE SERVING ME ANYMORE. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? Instead of apologizing and trying to make it nice he says that i can't come here anymore!!! I will spread the word about this place as much as i can so everybody knows what kind of customer service you guys do! I will write reviews everywhere i can to express my feelings! I feel sorry for those good people who work under such an unprofessional management! HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE ! CONGRATULATIONS ON LOSING A LOYAL CUSTOMER!!!! read more

Come on ladies, 5 stars? Living in San Bruno, I dont think so. I will say I first walked thru the door in February.Receptionist was pleasant (jessica) and I was then greeted with a friendly,courteous gentleman (Vincent) who did an amazing job on my nails. I was very pleased so I rebooked for two weeks later.This time I was greeted by Stephanie,who was also very pleasant. Since Vincent did such a greaat job, I continued to book appts with him only.until.....I heard thru the grapevine that he was no longer working there, due to reasons NOT of his doing. So naturally when one is pleased with such great service I had to follow him.For those of you who weren't given the opportunity to find out where he went,if you are a loyal customer who appreciated his awesome work,look no further that 349 California Dr. in Burlingame. The salon is pleasant,clean, parking not such a hassle as the congested lot like Image, due to high volume of customers of check cashing place and Popeyes. Although I had nothing against Image Perfection,other than alot of time Vincent seemed to be the only person working,alot of the other ladies did maybe one customer to his 3,there is no reason for me to give Linda my business even tho they are close to my home.You go where the quality is. I know there are customers that miss him so as I said,Burlingame isnt that far to go. Good luck Image Perfection..I think you may need it! I know the former owner of the shop and she to has relocated. read more

I'm always on the lookout for a pedi place close to my house. A couple of weeks ago I was in need of a pedi and didn't have a lot of time free. Image Perfection fit the bill...so I thought. The salon was pretty busy when I walked in so I thought my chances were slim. Linda greeted me and quickly got my pedi underway. So far, so good. As I sat in the chair the phone was ringing off the hook and regular clients kept coming in. Everyone was told, 10 minutes wait, pick a color. I noticed the pace of my pedi was getting faster, not really a problem at first, I was in a hurry. Then Linda started clipping my toenails...really short, funky angles. She began digging my cuticles, it really hurt alot. No blood, but I expected it. As she kept putting my feet in and out of the water I noticed that the other nail techs were not using any cleaners on the pedicure bowls between clients (just wiping them out with the same towel they used on their client). I started thinking, please don't let me get an infection, please... Well, my big toe was red and swollen for a couple of days after. I was worried, who wouldn't be? I had a podiatrist friend look at my foot, who was also thinking the toe looked funky. Fortunately I didn't end up with a nasty fungus infection.. I will not be going back there, not worth the chance. Something else worth mention. My pedi was done, I was escorted to the drying area. After 10 minutes, and no Linda in sight, I had to ask to pay. Really?? Nope, I won't be going back. read more

Image Perfection is a great place to get your gel manicure, but this time was not as good as my other times there. I was looking for the same person that did my nails 3 weeks ago, but I forgot her name and didn't recognize anyone's faces. This time, Amy did my nails. She was so rough with my cuticles, she kept chipping and chipping away, and it hurt! Now I have a healing scab on one of my fingers that stings when I wash it. In the end I looked at my nails in the car, and didn't appreciate that she left some nail polish on the sides of my fingers, and it was messy on the outside of my cuticles. Amy wasn't keeping track of how long my nails were under the UV light. I was told that 2 minutes is the MAX because anything after that could cause bubbles in the nails and make them peel. I was constantly looking at the clock because she never told me to take them out after each coat of nail polish. The reason why I'm giving her a bad review is because of my experience AFTER she was done. I went to pay at the register, which was $27 for gel manicure. I told her to include my tip when she charged my card. When she gave me the receipt to sign, she said something in Vietnamese and ALL the other workers looked my way. I noticed it because I turned around to say "bye" and everyone was looking at me. Although I have NO IDEA what she said, it made me feel self-conscious as if she made a comment about how much I tipped. I DEFINITELY did not appreciate that. I have never been treated so badly by anyone at Image Perfection prior to this experience. I was already hesitant to tip her because she was so rough and did not live up to my expectations. In the end, I tipped her solely because of the manual labor. But because of this experience, I regret tipping her at all. I believe that someone should earn a tip, and not expect it in the end. And on top of that, DON'T make a comment about a tip from a customer in front of their face. I thought it was completely rude and ruined my experience. read more

I love the ladies that work there but the guy in the front they need to get rid of him he is beyond rude! He apparently doesnt want any money the place was basically empty and he said he i cant help you! Like wtf sad to say but i will never come back again! read more

I love my eyebrows!!! Beverly did such a good job!!!!!

Call ahead! They are very busy and have recurring appointments for people (myself included) so call before coming in. I have had a very good experience getting acrylics, they're efficient and listen when you ask them to change something. read more

I've been one of the happy customers. But I received a couple of really poor services recently. One of the biggest one was this one. I called into the salon 1.5 hours before they close, so that I wasn't expecting that they could do my nail, but I just gave it a shot. The guy (probably owner) told me that they could do my nail if I could come in quickly, so that I got there after 10 mins. But when I got there the guy looked a bit confused and he was about to lock the salon's door, but since I made a reservation over the phone I told my name and he let me in. I've already had a weird feeling at that point. And then there were two manicurists, but they looked super upset and angry, and they kept complaining something (I didn't understand their language, but obviously they were really mad and didn't welcome me at all.) It seems that they complained about my visit, because they were about to leave the salon but the owner got my reservation. But this nail salon is open until 8:30pm according to Yelp, but it was still 7:20pm at that point... The lady who did my nail is usually nicer, but during this visit, she didn't say hello at all, and her service was 50% less than usual. Although I didn't like this salon's atmosphere and owner's service from the first visit, I still came here because of her technique. She rushed everything and was upset entire time. And at the end, the owner told me that I should have called in more early, and let me out from the salon really quickly. Yes, I should have done that, but at the same time, he should have told me that it was too late to come in. Obviously this was his poor judgement. I appreciate that they still did my nail for me, but they also recently increased a price as well (Gel Pedicure $40 to $43), and I don't think it's worth spending more than $50 including tips, so that I won't come back again. read more

Nice place, the service was very nice. Long did my pedicure, he was a very nice and pleasant person.

I have been going here for years for mani's, pedi's and waxing. Occassionally I have had a bad experience but nothing like the other day that made me get a yelp account. LADIES BEWARE!! First I get my brows waxed and ask to have some arch put in. Alas...I look like I have a monobrow now. Not good. Ok so I then get my pedi. Different tech--Tammy. She cut my nails soo short and was digging in one so bad it brought tears to my eyes. I pulled away several times stating it hurt and she kept saying she was not done yet. By the time my toes were done I was bleeding and hurt! OMG! By this time the mani has started so I can't just leave. Hunh?? was the tech for my mani and she cut 5 out of the 10 nail beds. What the heck? So now I am crying because I was in a lot of pain. She started on the massage and kept pulling on the ends of my fingers she just cut open. HELLO!!!! I understand a nick or whatever but on 5 of 10 that is wholly unqualified. At the end of the appointment I gave her my card and she asked for a tip. Hummph. Ok so I gave $5.00 on a $50.00 tab and I thought that was generous since I would have to touch up my own brows, and I was bleeding in 6 places. When I said yes $5.00 the same tech that made my fingers bleed said: "That's it?" I was so dumbfounded. Yes ladies That's it. I will not be back and for you ladies needing a good mani, Pedi, and wax, this is NOT the place to go. read more

Love this place! I have gotten my eye brows waxed, gel manicure, and pedicure done here. The reason why I'm not giving it 5 stars is because the eyebrow waxing is not consistent, the only time I loved my eyebrows was the very first time I went to this place. Since then I just stopped getting them done here. I honestly think that gel manicures are their specialty and Helen is the best for a gel manicure. I love that she takes her time and is very patient with you plus it last for 3+ weeks (sometimes 4-5 weeks). I usually get my pedicures done here too but the last time I got my nails done the lady did an ok job. I've had better pedicures done here before. I don't know the name of the lady who did my pedicure but she might be new because I have never seen her before. Overall a really good place to go! Everybody is professional and the place is well maintained and clean. I would definitely recommend this place for a gel manicure and pedicure. read more

This is the best place and only place where I trust the employees 100% with my eyebrows and nails. Every time I come here to get my eyebrows waxed, they make it to the way you like it. Very clean and shaped out ($10). Linda does a really good job with my eyebrow. She's amazing. And all the employees here are very friendly and they take real good care of you. They make sure your nails and etc. are perfect not like some other places that do a half-pass job and rush you off and expect a good tip and all. Love this place! read more

I had gone to this salon for nearly 5 years when Linda was running it. I came back recently and got my nails done. The guy who did my nails used a color much lighter than the one I asked for, made the edges sharp enough that I later broke skin itching my forehead, and the nails were wider than my nailbeds! The color on each nail didn't match, the length of the nails varied drastically, and it was an over all fail. Sad to see my once favorite salon fall so low :/ read more

Very clean, organized, and well stocked salon. Staff is very nice and accommodating, they listen to what I ask for and they make sure I like the manis and pedis I receive. Usually at other salons, I ask for a specific person, but not here at Image Perfection! Every person that works here is very talented. Appointments aren't necessary, but just make one because they do get a tad busy at times. From my own experience, I've dropped in and have had to wait 30-45 mins. read more

Trinity is the best. She did a fabulous job on my nails. I will definitely be coming back!!

Great job - love the color n relaxing- the only down side chairs are not working - lacks the massage :( lacks the real spa experience without it - the chairs use to separate the salons in the area - bummer read more

I arrived at 5pm, an hour before close. Lady at front desk wasn't very warm or inviting. It was like I was bothering her from whatever she was doing. I asked for a Mani/pedi. She replied, "we're busy. We close at 6. Come back later." No, thanks. I'll take my business elsewhere. read more

This is the best place I've ever been to get my nails and facial done. Linda and Dominic provides the best customer Service which makes everyone feel very comfortable. Love the service's provided by all friendly employees and especially by Dominic & Linda. I highly recommend this Nail Salon to everyone one. I drive from Fremont Ca, to San Bruno just to get my nails & facial done which is about 20miles one way. Highly Recommended Nail Salon for Males and Females. read more

I work really close to here and decided to try the place out and i wish I never went there! First off it seems like everyone loves this place, for the cleanliness, but they used a USED nail filer on me and I cringed through my whole service. Second, I went in for a Mani and pedi and told them I didn't need a massage because I was a tad pressed for time....( I had to catch a flight in 2 hours) Ladies when they are speaking a different language, it may be about you. I lived in different foreign countries and have picked up many different languages and I understood loud and clear eveything they were saying about me, the technician kept saying that I was rushing her and was working so fast that I thought she was going to cut off one of my toes. I wasn't rushng no one, I just didn't have time for the massage part,so told her to skip and she took it all offensively. I thought I was helping her out because it was less work for the same amount of money... The polish work was so bad, I had to go get it repainted else where. For that said I would never come back here!! When I left and they got the money, they didn't even say bye or thanks.... Never again!! read more

The place is clean which is a very important to me. I've been here a couple of times for a pedicure. They do a good job and my polish lasts for weeks. A lot of people also come here for waxing. However, I unfortunately had a bad experience recently. About two months ago I booked an appointment with the receptionist and specifically asked if they could take three different people for a service at 4:00 p.m. She said yes. Two of us were taken within 5 minutes of our arrival. The third had to wait. 15 minutes passed and I asked when my cousin would be taken. They said sorry, they were running late and it would just be a couple more minutes. There was a free nail tech though just sitting in a chair. It was already 4:30 and by that time two older ladies arrived. The receptionist ( young lady, high school age) immediately asks how they were, offers them water and tea, and sets up their pedicure station. The same person barely took time to greet us when we walked in (she was chatting away on the phone) and didn't offer us any water or tea. Then the nail tech that was waiting started to service them! I was very upset but didn't want to cause a scene. Sitting there, those new customers say in passing that their appointment was at 4:30. If the salon was running late, which I understand can happen, then shouldn't a customer who was scheduled to come at 4:00 be taken before a customer scheduled at 4:30? But obviously, since the customers seemed to be regular patrons judging from the conversations they had, they were serviced first. My cousin was not taken til about 4:45. When I was paying I asked why they were taken first and she just smiled and never really answered my question only stating the salon was running late. I was really disappointed because I liked coming here, but I don't think we were treated fairly at all. I'm a very pleasant easy going person, but it's not ok to take regular customers over newer customers who had earlier apointment times. read more

I absolutely love Linda!!! I use to drive to Concord to get my eyebrows done. However, about 7 years ago I got tired of the drive and took a HUGE risk in having someone else touch these brows. It was a decision I did not regret. Linda is so great. She really listens to her customers. My daughter and I will wait to see her and she truly sticks to her appointments. She was my brow savior. (as the heavens open) read more

A nail salon or nail artist should know their limits when accommodating customers. When asked if a particular nail art can be done, the staff there all said yes. However, the end result was less than perfection. The manicure itself was painful as I was cut twice I don't think I'll be back nor suggest this place to friends. read more

See all

Love the eyebrow waxing! The pedicure was good, relieved my ingrown tonail and what matters most to me..... this was a very sterile and clean place. read more

I usually go to Alpha Nails in Millbrae, but since I waited until the last minute to get mine and my daughter's nails done, i settled...repeat, SETTLED for this place. There were 2 people getting theor nails done. I was serviced right away...a star for that. The Guy at the counter said my daughter would have to wait 15 minutes. Fine. Then a ladie with her dog comes in acting like she owns the place and feeling entitled, got her color, eye brows maxed then they sat her down in the pedi spa...all the while, the other chick is serviced her mani while she gets her pedi...then another chick comes in and she gets serviced asap! Daughter still not in a chair. Chick gets done with pedi, gets sat in a chair for mani. Then the lady who did her mani goes to the woman with the dog!!! WTF! we got here first. Fast forward to now...approx 1 hour later, daughter's feet in water for 20 mins, probably shriveled, and we've probably been her over an hour already. I go up to the guy and asl how much longer, he says 5 to 10 mins "i cant really predict the time", he also says with an attitude. Bull shit! I see whats going on. No one is near done with their customers. This place sucks with prioritizing walk-ins. Only 1 person had an appointment. The guy is rude. The 2nd star for my mani. And they charged me $28 for a standard pedicure!!! What the...?? Overall, this place lacks customer service skills. Nails ok. I have an appointment at Alpha Nails in 2 weeks...thank god! Im never coming here again! read more

Helen is awesome! I went in a couple minutes until close and she stayed to remove and redo my gel manicure. The gel mani I got done in the city was extremely thick and took extra time to remove. She took her time and did an excellent job on my manicure despite the fact it was an hour after close. read more

I go here to get waxed and although it is a little pricey it is worth it. They do a great job & I have been going for 3+ years and can say I haven't had one bad experience. read more

Limited services, no acrylics, gel with extensions only certain days of the week. Make sure they understand your needs when you make the appointment. I ended up having to call around to find a place that would do "fake" nails while I was getting my pedicure. read more

Not very welcoming and the workers were extremely rude. Scheduled an 11:30am appointment and wasn't spoken to until 12pm. I was finally seated around 12:15pm. This place lacks decent customer service! A frustrating experience overall. read more

This place is absolutely fantastic! Super clean! The clean all the chairs before each person and the open a new tool kit every time! Make sure to make an appointment because always they're super busy! I love Tammy she's always so nice and accommodating. I can be a little picky but the girls are always happy to fix anything. They do an amazing job with waxing I swear im close to falling asleep every time Tammy does my eyebrows. I highly recommend them to anyone I know! Love you ladies and I look forward to seeing you every two weeks! read more

This place does amazing nails! I've been here often and everytime my nails look great and it will last. I've been to other places and am happy with the results but by day two it cracks, peels, etc. Somehow the mani/pedis from Image Perfection will last much longer. My only complaint would be the wait it takes to get serviced, but they take time on each person to make sure they are doing a great job, so it's worth it. read more

Image Perfection is my go-to place. Love getting my manicures and pedicures here and I always have Linda wax my eyebrows. One of the best nail salons I've been too! read more

Linda is the best eye brow waxer ever. Shes awesome. I've been getting mine done by her for years. If you are looking for a good eye brow wax ask for Linda. read more

I have. Even going there for 5+ years. I live it. They are honest. And if you are unhappy Linda makes it a point to fix it. I like it because she always kept it small and personable. read more

Very happy with my mani/pedi every time!! Even talked my husband into having a pedicure!!

The best thing about this salon was Vincent and he left. I only went there for Vincent as I had gotten a pedicure there once and not only did the girl nick my toes, twice, the polish wore off after 4 days. So frustrating and for the price, I think not. I took my sister there for her first pedicure, and needless to say, she was not a fan and doesn't understand why people get pedi's!! The talent in that place walked out the door and to the 349 Salon in Burlingame. Stephanie is the only redeeming factor left in that place and from what I hear they cut her hours back as well. . .for shame Linda. For shame. Your valuable gems are what keep people coming back. .. . read more

Felt my pedicure was rushed. She even nicked my cuticle a little which bothered me. She did do a good job, but i hate feeling rushed. Not sure I'd come back here. Looks like a pretty popular spot though. read more

Everyone at this salon is very nice - HOWEVER - there is a 50/50 chance you will get a good manicure. I've been coming here for years and so far was OK with taking my chances because although sometimes the work wasn't great, it was good enough for me to come back because it's located in a convenient location. BUT last time I came in my nails looked like they were done by a 5 year old - the nails were filed crooked, the polish was all around the nails on my skin. I sucked it up, went home and had to start from scratch on my nails - but vowed to myself that was my last visit. That's really too sad. read more

I came in today for a brow wax without an appt. Tammi did a great job and it cost a reasonable $12! The salon isn't pretty and has very strong nail polish smells, so i wanted to get in and out quick. Wax took 10 mins and I was happy with the result. read more
