Nail Motif is the complete opposite. I don't know what magic they use, but my natural polish manicures last a solid week -- sometimes even longer! The quality is unmatched. Beyond the results, the entire experience is just wonderful. The salon is clean, bright, and welcoming, with an amazing polish selection. I never know what color to choose, but the team always steers me right -- they have a great eye and never miss. The foot massages during the pedicures are next-level relaxing, whether you want to chat or just unwind. The Nail Motif ladies are warm, funny, and genuinely care about making every client feel like they're among friends. Even the other customers are kind and friendly -- it's truly just good vibes all around. I live in Corte Madera and have several salons I could walk to, but Nail Motif is 100% worth the drive. My husband loves them too, and it is his birthday treat every year to go get a pedicure there. I've been going to Motif for 2+ years now, and am so grateful I found my new spot :)

I told her she didn't have to rush but she skipped removing all of my old polish (which showed through the new), only did one coat and didn't do any cleanup of overpaints all while reminding me multiple times that the price was still $40 as if I was going to stiff her on her tip. I had been a longtime client and always tipped 20% even while skipping the massage. When paying I asked the owner why only one coat and she said because I said I was meeting someone. The nail tech said - you want a second coat? Sit. She rushed through it with no cleanup a 2nd time. There are better places out there. I am currently enjoying a mani pedi a new salon.

I checked out this newer nail spot recently and had a mixed--but overall interesting--experience…read more First impressions were good: the space was very clean, busy, and well-run. The receptionist was warm, spoke English clearly, and the overall vibe felt more professional and welcoming than some other salons in Marin. They take both cash and Apple Pay, which I appreciated. The appointment itself was fast--almost surprisingly so. I got a very basic acrylic set done in about 40 minutes, whereas this usually takes closer to an hour to an hour and a half. That's both a pro and a con. If you're in a rush and just need something done, this place is efficient. That said, the technician was pretty persistent about upselling (gel, rhinestones, chrome, etc.), and when I declined and asked for something very simple, she seemed a bit irritated. There were also some confusing add-on charges (like an extra fee just for shaping, and then another for polish), which weren't clearly reflected on the sign. In the end, though, the total was still less than what I usually pay at Nails #1, which often creeps up to around $80 after add-ons--so price-wise, this was reasonable. As for the final result: the nails look okay. Not bad, but not super polished either. You can tell they were done quickly--each nail looks slightly different, and the overall finish isn't as refined as what you'd get from a longer, more detailed appointment. It felt more like efficiency over craftsmanship. I did like that I could take a phone call without bothering anyone, and the ambience was calm despite how busy it was. Would I go back? Maybe--if I'm short on time and just need my hands done quickly. But if I want a more meticulous, pampering experience where extra care is taken, I'd probably look elsewhere.

They also do affordable haircuts for follicly challenged guys like me. For $18, Amy will shave my head, give me a lengthy neck massage, and scrub my scalp with a hot towel. Pure relaxation! And best of all, I'm in and out in 15 minutes. They also have plenty of free parking out front. And if you're hungry, you can swing by the nearby Whole Foods Market or Super Duper Burger for a quick bite to eat. Love this little gem. P.S. - cash only.

Worst experience -- completely unprofessional. I was there…read morefor a pedicure and sat in the chair with my feet soaking for 15 minutes, waiting for someone to start. There was only one other customer in the salon, and there were four workers, so I honestly don't understand why I was left waiting. After 15 minutes, another regular customer came in. Instead of acknowledging me or starting my service, the staff spent about another 10 minutes talking with her about her husband's hair and how he likes it, even though she had already said she wanted her nails done. As soon as she sat down, they immediately started working on her while I was still sitting there with my feet soaking. I'm really not someone who gets mad easily, but being completely ignored while another customer is prioritized right in front of me was extremely disrespectful. If you're busy, I understand waiting -- but there was no reason for this kind of treatment. Very disappointing and unprofessional. I will not be coming back.

Unfortunately, my friend misplaced the gift certificate within one day of the purchase. I went back to the salon to explain what happened, and they took both my name and my friend's name, along with my contact information, and told me there would be no problem. I was specifically assured that my friend would still be able to book her service using the gift certificate. However, when my friend later contacted the salon to book her appointment, she was told that they would not honor the gift certificate. I went back to the salon myself to address the situation, but they still refused to honor it, despite previously telling me that there was no issue and that she could absolutely use it. I'm extremely disappointed with how this was handled. After spending a significant amount of money with a business and being given reassurance that the gift certificate would be honored, I expected them to stand by what they told me. Unfortunately, this experience has completely changed my impression of the salon. I will not be returning, and I would not feel comfortable recommending this salon to others.
