    I happily drive to San Carlos just to see Tracy--she does a fantastic job every single time. My nails always look amazing. She takes the time to look over inspiration photos with me and offers her professional insight, and when I let her be creative and free-play with the designs, the results are always stunning. Tracy truly has an eye for detail. Her salon is adorable, painted pink inside and out, and she always has fresh-cut flowers from Trader Joe's along with beautiful plants that make the space feel so welcoming. Her staff is equally wonderful--attentive, friendly, and kind--and they even offer refreshments. I genuinely love coming here; they make you feel comfortable and cared for from start to finish.

    Two separate visits, same awesome experience! Went by myself 2 weeks ago to check the place out after a friend suggested I bring my daughter and friends here to celebrate her birthday. My solo visit was so excellent: the nail techs actually took the time to clean up every nail to the highest quality for my regular mani/pedi, and now 2 weeks later it's still going strong! Love the decor here and the vibe is so chill and awesome! Then I did actually book to bring my daughter and 3 friends (11 years old) for a birthday celebration: they took incredible care of the girls, feeding them snacks, candy, and finishing up our visit with a birthday song and huge cake! We had the best time: thank you!!

    Pampered!! My daughter and I went on an early Saturday morning with an appointment for Mother's Day. They spoiled us! The Deluxe Pedicure with Paraffin was amazing, a very detailed experience. They gave us treats, a rose, and a mimosa for Mother's Day. It was the best Mother's Day gift I have had. They are so kind and accommodating, I will be coming back for sure.

    This is a good nail salon in San Carlos with a very aesthetic look, fast service and good service. I had a gel pedicure and I loved the way it turned out. I did notice that it seemed like some of my previous polish was still on in the corners but it's not easily noticeable. The price is good for the area!

    Cut deep on the sides of my nail bed, I can't even walk right now. #rip

    I usually love coming here for mani pedis, but I came a couple days ago & didn't have the best experience I guess. The owner seemed busy and was rushing with my nails to get to other people even though I had an appointment set. My manicure was decent, but my toes are in pain! She started cutting way too much on the side of my big toes, causing me to get a terrible infection. I literally can barely walk it hurts so bad. The photos are self explanatory. Update: the infection is way worse, pain is unbearable, half my foot is swollen & I'm going to urgent care now.

    End result. The right big toe gel polish had to be removed & reapplied. Not cleaned up properly along with the rest of the toes

    I had hopes for this place. Needing to get an overdue pedicure even with some of the reviews I had seen and giving the benefit of doubt. I've had a number of pedicures in my life and needed to go somewhere close by. I see why San Jose is known to do manicures and pedicures at with better quality and a more reasonable price. I had to ask my tech to fix my gel polish after it's been cured because it was lumpy and on top of that she didn't even clean the edges before curing the gel And if I hadn't said anything for it to be fixed she would have sent me off with it as she said she was done and I was confused to even see the final product. On top of that when I booked online the gel pedicure said it was $50. I decided to do the organic pedicure in the salon given the impression it was $55 instead. And then $5 of my old gel removal. But the fact that it was $15 ON TOP FOR GEL. That is wild to pay $75 for a mediocre pedicure job. And as it was cleaned up and fixed. It still isn't even the quality for a pedicure I've paid for that's $50. I didn't even want to have it fixed any more with given the time I've already spent in there. It's quite surprising that this quality of work is consider acceptable. That's disappointing.

    Had a nice experience yesterday on the fly at this salon. My daughter was looking for a new place to try Gel X. Communicated via message through Yelp and secured an appointment. When we arrived, decided to also get pedicures for myself and my other daughter which they were happy to accommodate. The techs were detailed and did a nice job with our basic pedicures. Left as 3 happy customers.

    This is going to be my new go-to spot forsure! I loved everything about it - from the decor to the staff and the exceptional service they provide. Tracy is the owner and she is a star. My pedicure was one of the best I've ever had, I'm not even exaggerating. They really take the time on your feet and the best part is that I didn't feel like they were going to hurt me at all! I haven't experienced that before at any other nail salon in the area. I can't wait to go back! Also their selection of colors is unreal!

    Acrylic nails with chrome layer and a fun summer design while keeping it classy for work! Also did the same on my toes!

    Tracy and her team are amazing. This is the best set of nails I've had in months. She listened to my (many) requests and made my gel pedicure and gel acrylic manicure look EXACTLY how I wanted. Acrylic is nice and slim. Perfect, natural shape. Exact color and design. I love it. They have SO many types of polishes and designs. I went with a chrome layer on white gel, and an orange accent to add a bit of summer vibes, while keeping it professional for work. The salon has plenty of parking in front and to the side. Cute decor, very feminine and sparkly. Massage chairs are always a nice touch. Pricing is competitive. I think I need to start coming here from now on.

    I was honestly so stressed trying to figure out what to do for my nails before my engagement photoshoot, and I'm so glad I found Tracy. From the moment I sat down, she was awesome. I showed her a few inspiration pictures and immediately knew I was in great hands. When she finished my full set, I realized the design didn't quite feel like me. Since this was my first time doing professional photos with my nails done, I eventually asked if we could adjust the design so they felt more like me. Tracy fixed them and now I'm absolutely obsessed. I can't stop staring at them and they're perfect for my engagement photos. The shop itself is also beautiful. The pink decor is so cute and the pedicure chairs are super comfortable. Tracy is amazing and I would totally recommend her shop if you're looking for great nails and a great experience.

    We just had the best mani- pedi & eyebrow wax we have had since moving to CA 9 years ago! Truly exceptional quality & service. Friendly engaging staff. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    This was my second time at this shop, and I definitely plan on returning. Tracy does a detailed job in a timely manner. The staff creates a warm and welcoming environment. Highly recommend that you give them a try!
