I opted for a combination gel manicure and gel pedicure, which was amazing! The best part is almost always the warm foot bath, massage, hot stone massage and hot towels! When it came to the manicure, it's actually a dry manicure, which I've never had before, nor have I ever heard of them! Let me tell you, there is such a thing as a dry manicure and I prefer this way better than a wet manicure. I have eczema, so I am very selective of nail salons and this was great! The different drill bits that Tracy used are to exfoliate the cuticles and around your nail bed, so minimal cutting/trimming is done. I made another appointment through their website for 07.13.26, again with Tracy, to have my gel manicure and gel pedicure removed and this time chose the combination classic manicure and classic pedicure. Basic treatments as before except for regular polish, not gel. Loved every minute of it! I would highly recommend this place! Convenient location. It's near a parking garage or there is street parking. The service and quality is great! The people are nice. It is a bit pricey, but worth it. Thank you Tracy for a great experience!

It was easy to schedule an appointment through their website. I am so happy I did and can't wait for my next manicure! I decided to go back to my natural nails so I got an acrylic removal and a gel manicure. I can't state enough how impressed I was with their attention to detail during the entire experience. They did not rush through the process and took their time to paint on the nail design I requested. I sometimes don't have a ton to chat about but everyone was nice and let me sit quietly listening to the music and watching people queue on the boba line outside. Needless to say, I highly recommend.

I was assigned with Abby. She was truly so kind and attended to my requests. I could not pick out a certain design whether I would go matte or glossy, I kept changing my mind but she followed through and her hand paints were so cute. I'm glad I was able to get my holiday nails done. I've already booked my next nail appointment. Price can be quite steep compared to other places but considering it is in the peninsula and for a nail salon, I love it. They dont rush you and the quality of my nails look great. Parking is a bit limited (as usual since its downtown) but overall love this place. They take walk-ins but from what I heard better to book online very seamless since they are usually always busy.

This was a get together to get our nails done for some TLC and to strategically get our friend to get her nails done before her engagement !!! The quality of the nails in photos looked great and the inside looked comfy and fitting enough for us to catch up and yap. Kudos to the team bc originally my friend was not gonna get her nails done and only wanted a pedi !!! We finally convince her but then she didn't want gel !! I spoke with my nail tech in secret and had them convince her to get gel. It was a success and without them it would've been mission fail. Our nails looked super cute, great quality, price, & service. Would recommend again. And now our friend is a fianceee with a beautiful rock and with stunning photos !!

SERVICE: Jo Jo is friendly and pays attention to detail. A regular manicure is $35 and takes about 25 min. A gel manicure is $40 (+$5 for French tip) and takes about 35 min. Unfortunately my gel nails didn't last as long as I had hoped because I'm not super careful with nails, but for $45, it was worth it.

Her nail work lasts longer than anyone else's - I usually go every 3 weeks (sometimes 4!), and my nails still look perfect (I only change them because I get bored with the color!). I've done acrylics, gel, dip, and I don't even know what else with her, and she always knows what's best for the health of my nails. Thanks to her, my natural nails are healthier than they've ever been. She's also amazing at nail art and design - super detailed, perfect shaping, and she always has fun new ideas to try. On top of that, her eyebrow waxing is so clean and natural. Noa recently opened her own business and is renting a spot at Sarah's nail Salon in downtown San Mateo. She's professional, talented, and incredibly sweet - I genuinely love my time with her. If you're looking for gel nails, dip powder nails, acrylics, pedicures, or eyebrow waxing in San Mateo, you won't find anyone better than Noa. Highly recommend booking with her!
