    Nails by Ivy
    Brandy N.

    Ivy and her team of gals never disappoint. If you are looking for the perfect polish time after time this is the place. I have long natural nails that are absolutely thriving with Ivys help. I requested a difficult design this time that I saw online and it turned out even better than the source image. Super happy and already planning my next polish.

    Ivy is a true artist, and all the other ladies here are excellent as well! The attention to detail is amazing, appointments are always efficient, and the customer service is top-notch. Highly recommend!

    $80 for this basic set is crazy

    I paid $160 for a gel pedicure and a basic dip manicure (no design), which felt really overpriced. I originally asked for a basic pedicure, but the tech kept pushing the deluxe -- she asked me multiple times and ended up switching the prices on me without being upfront. When I got home, I even noticed nail polish left on my feet, which was disappointing after paying so much. The salon itself is nice, very clean and pretty, but unfortunately, I wouldn't come back due to the lack of transparency and attention to detail.

    I've been going to Ivy's for years and have never had a bad experience or bad manicure. Trust me, I'm PICKY when it comes to my nails. Ivy and Gina are true artists. Beautifully shaped nails every time!

    gel mani

    This place is convenient, but I felt very rushed when I was there. My gel mani chipped within 3 days and this is how it looks 6 days later. Also my nails were rough at the ends when I left, and felt jagged :(

    Love my nails they did a great job and staff were super sweet towards me and my mom. Service was amazing

    Did a walk in around 11am and they helped me right away. Had a pedicure with Lindsey and she was amazing, so sweet and took her time. I very much enjoyed the ambiance. They had very calm and zen music going on in the background. A little pricey but I think it's worth it. Right next door to a pilates studio as well. Will definitely come back to Lindsey!

    Amazing gel nails by Gina. Very nice, great technique, turned out similar to reference photo.

    I was dismayed to learn today that Ivy's Nails is under threat. In 2019, the business was purchased outright in a verbal agreement, with no date of expiry mentioned. Now the seller is having cold feet and instructing the team to vacate the premises by December 14th, 2023. This is exactly the sort of greed we do not need more of in the bay area. This predatory behavior is the death of creativity and the ruin of security for hardworking small business owners. None of Dam's utility bills or rent were late and a large payment was made in the interest of running the business as her own. She renovated the interior and replaced all aging equipment and furniture with her own savings. As you can see, Ivy's Nails is retaining customers and receiving overwhelmingly good reviews - of course the seller wants the business back! After my nail tech moved away last year, I was delighted to find Ivy's Nails and start new. They have provided me with several beautiful, long-lasting and creative dip sets this year. They consistently come out looking like new after my workouts and even survived my dark water rafting escapades in New Zealand. I often observe the nail techs here practicing with new colors and talking about techniques they want to try. They are positive, patient and interested - I am a picky client, so this is a big plus! These dedicated artists deserve to be treated with respect and equity, not steamrolled by people they trust. Please be aware and support the incredible business Ivy's Nails has become during a time it matters most. Do you like your nails? Then talk to them - ask how you can be supportive.

    I did dipped nails and it feels so much nicer and it's healthier for my nail beds.

    Ivy did such a great job with my nails and she was so nice to me too. I did dipped powder nails and it didn't hurt at all and it feels so much nicer on my nails. Hope to come back soon!

    Nails by the amazing Amy!
    Jasmine S.

    Amy @Ivy's Nail is fantastic. She's patient, took her time with my nails and the results turned out better than I could have imagined! I will certainly be coming back and visiting Amy! I just moved to Woodside and have been searching for a new nail salon so I am happy I found this little gem! Plus I love visiting the gift shop in Ladera as well!

    I was recommended by a friend to come here and it blew me away. I haven't gotten my nails done in a year and felt like treating myself. I was able to get a last minute appointment as well which was great! Ivy and her technicians are so friendly and accommodating. I had a regular pedi and a dip nail manicure. So many colors to choose from! I drove all the way down from sf and will continue to come here

    Dip mani
    Sarah S.

    Newly open! My friend and I made an appointment on the same day for dip manicures and had a great experience here! Absolutely love the color selection and will probably try something more adventurous next time. Chose a neutral color for my first time. They did a phenomenal job shaping my nails. I will be back for my pedicure soon!

She took what I had in my head, added her own creativity, and collaborated with me so easily throughout the entire process. I couldn't be happier with how they turned out. Mia was also so easy to talk to. We spent the appointment chatting about life, her passions, and her goals of becoming a medical assistant. It genuinely felt like hanging out and getting to know someone while she casually made my nails look incredible. Nina did my pedicure and was wonderful too! Normally I'm the type who has to match my toes to my hands, but since this was my first time at DEP, I kept it simple and just got a little taste of what they could do. After this experience, though, next time we're going all in on both. While I was there, Anna, the owner, also took the time to introduce herself and tell us about the many different services they offer. That little interaction really added to the experience. The whole salon felt welcoming, personable, and like they genuinely care about building relationships with their clients. 10/10 experience. I'd tell everyone to book with Mia and Nina... except I also need them to have availability when I call. JK -- FILL THEIR BOOKS! They deserve it.

I've been getting Russian manicures for years, on the East Coast and even driving to San Jose or San Francisco and the experience was often hit or miss. What makes this place exceptional is that they've brought the same level of consistency, precision, and excellence you find in highly competitive salons in New York or Miami right here to Menlo Park. That alone makes us incredibly lucky. The attention to detail is unmatched, and my manicures consistently last 4-5 weeks while still looking flawless. Yes, quality isn't cheap, but I'd much rather invest once a month in a manicure that lasts, saves me time, and actually holds up. For me, it's about convenience, quality, and longevity, and this salon delivers on all three. The team is warm, professional, and clearly takes pride in their craft. I'm a loyal customer for a reason and Menlo Park is lucky to have them.

It was much easier to relax at this place because it doesn't have that bustling feeling I'd experience at other salons. Not overly packed and a calmness from staff. I had very dry feet with some heavy calluses so I opted for their best pedicure, the deluxe vip one. It definitely felt worth it. Tony did my pedicure and he was very warm and kind. I pointed out the calluses and he took extra care addressing them until smooth. My only complaint was he ended up cutting/filing one of my big toes too much that it looked close to bleeding (it did break so it was short), and too many coats of the nail polish made it thick. Still an amazing experience and still worth the price. I booked pretty last minute so I didn't get to book some of the staff I see recommended on here. I definitely want to return. P.S. the massage chair here is the best one I've experienced in any salon, AND the salon is right by menlo park's farmers market so it makes for a great little self-care day

La Jolie has become like family. My daughter has been coming here since she was just five years old, and now at 20, it's still one of the first places she wants to visit whenever she's home from college. That alone says so much about the consistency, warmth, and care this team provides. Alicia, Pink, her husband, and the entire staff are absolutely amazing. They are not only incredibly talented and detail-oriented, but they also create such a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. They remember their clients, take their time, and genuinely care about the experience they provide. Over the years, I've always been impressed by their professionalism, cleanliness, and dedication to quality service.

    DO NOT GO TO JULIE (nail tech)!!!! Please read!…read more I have been getting my nails done since I was a teenager, and I can honestly say this was one of the worst nail salon experiences I've ever had. I came into this salon for the first time with long, healthy natural nails that had gel builder on them. I left with my nails completely ruined. Julie aggressively cut my nails down extremely short without listening to what I wanted. She cut them so short that my skin was exposed, and several of my fingers actually started bleeding. I was shocked. In all my years of getting my nails done, I have never had a nail technician cut my nails to the point of making me bleed. What made the situation even worse was that after my fingers were already bleeding, Julie continued to file my nails. She then proceeded to put acetone on all of my fingers, including the areas where my skin had been cut open. The burning and pain were unbearable. Instead of stopping the service, checking on me, or asking if I was okay, she kept going as if nothing had happened. To make matters worse, she then attempted to put some type of glue or ointment directly onto my bleeding finger without explaining what it was or asking for my consent first. I had to stop her myself. I was honestly in disbelief that this was happening. My fingertips are now extremely sensitive to touch, throbbing, and painful. Simple things like washing my hands, typing, buttoning my clothes, or accidentally bumping my fingers hurt. I walked in with beautiful, long, healthy natural nails that I had spent a long time growing out, and I walked out with bloody, uneven, painful nails that look nothing like what I came in with. I brought my concerns to the manager, Alicia, hoping she would take the situation seriously and offer a meaningful resolution. Unfortunately, she wasn't very helpful. I left feeling dismissed rather than cared for. There was very little empathy or accountability for the fact that a customer left injured after what should have been a routine nail appointment. I will be attaching before-and-after photos so others can judge for themselves. The pictures clearly show the healthy nails I came in with compared to the damaged nails I left with. I would absolutely not recommend this salon based on my experience. No customer should leave a nail appointment bleeding, in pain, and regretting their decision to come here. If this is the level of care being provided, other clients deserve to be warned before trusting this salon with their natural nails. I genuinely believe Julie needs additional training and closer supervision before working on clients independently again. A basic nail service should never result in exposed skin, bleeding fingers, acetone being applied to open wounds, and a technician attempting to place an unknown product on an actively bleeding finger without first obtaining the client's permission. What happened was not just disappointing--it was unacceptable. Save yourself the pain, frustration, and heartbreak of having your natural nails ruined. I wish I had never stepped foot into this salon.
