My daughter and had an appointment to get matching gel manicures for the holiday season and it didn't disappoint! I brought in an inspo photo and Terri duplicated perfectly with her art. Sonny gave us great manicures prior to the art. Overall, great experience and we will be back! read more

Spent 1h10min for an ok pedicure and a manicure that started at the 50min mark. Technician didn't even file my nails properly and left them pointy and scratchy as if a 5 year old did my nails. Very poor quality. I was late for an appointment and could not even get a color on my nails. Very disappointed in the poor quality of the service and the unapologetic behavior. Felt as though I was expected to sit and wait for an hour for a technician to show up to do my manicure. Some favorite clients get superior service while others get a terrible one. Recommend trying other nail salons. read more

What a great spot! We walked in for 2 gel manis and a polish change. We were very happy with the service, quality, polish selection and price. Theresa and Sonny could not have been more pleasant. There were steady calls the entire time we were there with people making appointments for later that day and following days. 2 weeks later and all of our nails still look as good as when they were done. Great energy in this place. Glad we stopped in! read more

1st time here. I usually drive over the hill to San Mateo as I live in Half Moon Bay but with a newborn baby and toddler it's tough. It was an okay experience... don't think I'll be back as I can't really justify $50 ($75 total) for a regular pedicure-- bleeding cuticles, okay polish job aside from my pinky that's already peeling/chipping less than 24hrs? and a heel file that I was forced to buy for $15??!! I called for a last minute appointment and was able to get in 20 mins later. Over the phone I was told regular pedicure start at $40, I was fine with that. 1hr and 15 minutes later, $50 for REGULAR polish pedicure, nothing fancy, no hot stones or hot towels that I usually get for $35 in San Mateo?! I don't understand why, no explanation when asked, instead being forced to buy a cheap plastic heel file for $15?! She said I needed it.. it was professional and I wouldn't be able to find it elsewhere? They were nice, service was good. I won't be back. I don't like not having an explanation of why my regular pedicure cost $50 and being forced to buy something. read more

Good but boy it's expensive! Love Lisa tho. Service is one of the best. Parking is pretty hard. read more

Terrie was my manicurist and she did a great job. They take walk-ins but it's better to call ahead for a slot (thanks for squeezing me in!), the phone communication is very clear and prompt. Salon has a small parking lot outside, and is clean and well ventilated inside. I messed up my manicure as soon as I got in the car and Terrie was nice enough to fix my smudged nails as I pathetically came crawling back. Operated by Lisa and daughter Terrie, this salon is so friendly and the service is great. Their website has the prices listed. I wanted almond shaped nails, and Terrie was very honest over the phone that she would need to see if I had the length to do it, so I appreciated her evaluation and expertise. Definitely recommend as the premier nail salon serving the coast. read more

I moved to Pacifica almost 2 years ago and was on the hunt for the perfect spot that could help me with manicures, pedicures & waxing (brows) ....and if I am lucky and have time an extra massage now and then. Terri and her crew are top notch! I have tried other shops close by but the quality and attention to the detail does not match Lisa's. Plus once you meet Lisa and realize that a strong woman started the business years ago - you want to support this family business that's all about taking good care of yourself. The prices are a little higher than I paid at my old shop in SF, but the quality of the work is undeniable. The cleanliness standards are top notch. They also have their own mini parking lot so you can always get a spot ;). read more

One of the best pedicures I've ever had!! My feet felt like baby's feet after leaving. Tracy spent so much time making sure they were perfect! Went while visiting my sister . It is her regular place. Went to places after that near me, very disappointed. Will make the trip to Pacifica from now on as it is WELL WORTH IT!! read more

Just had my first pedicure there with Sunny. Let me tell you that he was quick, efficient, and thorough. I walked-in and they got me seated quickly after I chose my color. I was greeted immediately after walking in the door and the entire atmosphere was friendly and warm. I believe I have found my new nail place! read more

The BEST customer service I've ever experienced at a nail salon!

I will DEF go back and I would highly recommend to anyone! They welcomed my well behaved dogs and all.. read more

Great experiences while I was on a contract in the area. They accommodated myself, my husband and a few friends throughout my 9 months in the area. Thank you! read more

I had been a regular customer for 3 yrs and always tipped well. Usually when you book an appt, they always ask you to come earlier if you can. But then why book a specific time one wonders. My last appt I did come 15 mins earlier. Regardless 45 mins later, 30 mins later than my appt time, I was seated in a chair - waiting for another 15 mins before the male pedicurist loitered. Finally I got up and walked out. Never to return. There were three nail people and no one was concerned. How rude - especially for a regular customer. Sep2024. read more

Best salon, bar none, on the Coast! Kind and sweet team and long lasting mani pedis! Highly recommend!

Really nice people & clean environment, I enjoyed my pedicure. I'll definitely be back

TLDR; I wasn't happy with a gel mani I had done elsewhere. I called here and they squeezed me in. They listened to what I was looking for and didn't corner me into a "pretty color." All the colors are nice, but how it looks on you matters -especially when coordinating for an event. I was welcomed and treated with such hospitality that any time I'm back in town I will revisit here!! I was able to relax, achieve the look I needed -and didn't feel judged. Thank you to the team, especially Sammi, for treating me so well! read more

It has been 2 week's since my visit, and every day since I have been telling myself to leave a review! I was visiting the area for the weekend and wanted to get a fill on my manicure. I called in and was was accepted right away. I had the pleasure of having Sonny be my manicurist. I normally do acrylics but they don't and he told me to do dip powder. I was hesitant because when I've done dip (myself) in the past it just didn't last....as you can see in the photo, not only did Sonny do an amazing job, but it has lasted 2 whole weeks!! I am a chef and constantly washing my hands, despite wearing gloves a lot. I wish they weren't 90 minutes away so I could get all my fills done with Sonny! can't believe they still look this good (other than the usual grow out) usually by day 10 at any of the other places I've visited they're chipped and grungy read more

I made an appointment for one fill, two full sets and three pedicures. Half of this was barely accommodated. Lisa was very nice however, as she was doing my pedicure she kept cutting me making me bleed in three different places on my toes. My pedicure came out very clean but in fact very painful. A women name Teri helped my mom. My mother asked as soon as we enter if Teri would be able to give her nails an ombré full set. Teri said she could do it and after I saw what she attempted to do it was horrible! We wanted a simple pink to white ombré. She tried to do it with polish and a sponge. Than she tried to add glitter to "cover up the blotches" I told her that's not what my mother wanted. It looked so messy. (I should of took a picture of the hot mess) She told me she would charge $80 for an ombré. I told her my mother doesn't like what she did. That's not what she wanted so she took off the polish and painted one solid color.. proceeded to charge me $80 for this full set. The nails weren't even shaped the same. I would have appreciated honesty when I first asked if she could do a simple ombré. She didn't have dip powder and couldn't do it. I'm so disappointed. All the technicians did a horrible job with full sets. It's an old school salon that needs to get modernized and new polish to say the least. Honesty is the best policy, if a nail tech can't do the job; than be honest. It'll save us all time and money. read more

I love all the ladies but was very disappointed this time. Took over an hour and a half for really poor results. Two toned nail polish, no massage, bleeding cuticles, and she had to bring out extra tools to get all the nail polish off my cuticles. It seemed she was more worried about getting nail polish on her manicure then giving one. Super disappointed for the most expensive place in Pacifica. When I mentioned my complaints as I was paying, I got "sorry". I won't be going back. read more

My fisrt time in this place and I had a good experience. The guy who did my nails was polite and nice. I had gel nails and want to back regular and he did a great job! My only complaint is because he didnt took attention for details like take cuticle off and for $22 mani I expect cuticle off, probably in 2 days my nails will be bad looking. Dont taking attention for details, distant the nails are pretty. So for now Im satisfied. read more

BAD SERVICE. I barely got here and was cut 4 times. I been getting my nails done for 15+ years and I don't think anyone has ever hurt like that within the first 5 min. I was trying my best to give her the benefit of the doubt since she was much older. However she was on a roll to cut me. I had to politely excuse myself and never return!!!! read more

I was very happy they have set up an outdoor nail salon. It's such a treat during these times. I loved the way everything was set up. They made sure clients are comfortable while being outside. Everyone here are so sweet and you can tell they really care about the comfort of their clients. The only issue I had was the price. I paid $100 for just a mani/pedi with dip polish and regular polish on my toes! The manicure wasn't even a manicure. No soaking my fingers, no trimming of the cuticles, and no hand massage that usually comes with a manicure. When she first told me the price I thought she was joking so I asked again. She was serious. It was great service, but I find that extremely expensive for a mani/pedi, not $100 worth. I'm sure I will return again someday, but it will only probably be for a pedicure. read more

This is our 2nd time there... 1st time was about 2 years ago for a polish change that turned into about a 45 mins appointment. Thought we would give it another try. Was very accommodating that we were running a bit late due to a family emergency but I guess so were the owners because we arrived at the same time. So the timing just worked out perfectly. We were there for 2 hours for 1 pedicure and 2 gel manicure and one children's manicure. I'm a little puzzled how the children's manicure cost me $22 when all that was really done was paint the nails with a pretty pink color and glitter polish was added for my 9 year old. She loves it so I guess that's what counts. My other daughter is just feeling ok about her gel manicure. She stated that she picked one color from the samples and the color that she was polished is not what was on the sample swatch. She's still content with it but just ok about it. I really really want to give the location more stars. But this morning looking at my nails, I just can't. The polish has already started to chip at the cuticle bed, the gel is actually looking lumpy on my nails. Today I noticed I have a few cuts on my fingers, probably happened during the removal of the cuticles. A few nails are most certainly unevenly filed. One thing I do want to say was that the owner was very kind to let me leave the salon and go to the ATM to get Cash since they only take cash. I take lots of pride on how my nails look and I'm disappointed. don't think we will be returning just based on how sloppy the results look. read more

$45 for a gel manicure. Probably the best one I've had. I burnt my hand holding a curling iron and she was very gentle but still managed to get all that cuticle and made my nails look incredibly nice. Also, everyone is very nice and everyone I noticed was very attentive to each client. Unlike many salons who try to have quick turn arounds. Very relaxing ambiance. Thank you! read more

I have enjoyed this nail salon a few times now. It is well located, has a nice little parking lot and is quite large inside. The woman (including Lisa and Tina) are very nice. They over call you "Sweetie" but then I realized they do this to Newbies (like me) and regulars they call by name, joke w/, tease and even make fun of. It is never empty, but hardly ever over crowded (I have yet to go on the weekend). People are always calling to make appointments. I only get Pedicures, so I have no other reviews but most due a good job. They lady I got tonight was a bit quick w/ the foot attention, but oh well if my toes look great. Pedi is $20. CASH only, but they have a little ATM inside. I usually call ahead and can go within the hour :) read more

Been going here for a little over a year and happy I made the switch. My gel manicure over acrylic last 3 weeks minimum. For me that is great, being the last place I was going my nails didn't make it two weeks. The pedicures are good, they spend time on your feet and also give a decent massage. Lisa's daughter Terri, is wonderful and her husband is very nice. read more

Just ok. A bit too pricy. 70 bucks for gel mani amd regular pedi I still see a little cuticle on 2 of my fingers. Will not come back. I still gave them high tip because they knew my friend who recommended me but i would rather go to burlingame or somewhere nicer for that price read more

Go elsewhere for a Brazillian wax! The most painful and poorly done job I have ever experienced. The technician missed spots, tortured me by not using the proper amount of wax and cutting the hairs too short before waxing (I already trimmed before I went in). My skin is still angry the next day, and I'm hoping this doesn't leave my skin scarred into remaining a darker tone. I got a manicure and pedicure afterwards, which was decent, but I was annoyed by them asking me to get up and pay right in the middle of them doing my nails! I will not be returning. read more
