    I made an appointment today for 3 people , 4:15pm . We arrived on time and got seen at 4:50pm , cool. However the first woman I had working on my toes was nice at first, then when I asked her for a acrylic tip on my toe because my nails were uneven she refused and hesitated I told her I'd pay extra I didn't mind and she mumbled something under her breath got up and got the things for the acrylic toes. I was working on my phone and hadn't realized she put a HUGE blob of acrylic on my toe NO TIP! I told her I wanted a TIP on BOTH big toes , she got annoyed rolled her eyes mumbled under her breath and called another woman. The second woman came and put a tip on my right toe , I told her I didn't want the acrylic blob on my left toe and she removed it. She was much nicer , quiet , however she was in a COMPLETE RUSH . I left immediately after my service , as soon as I began walking in my home I felt pain to my right toe. Now it's 10pm , I cannot stand on my feet because the acrylic is pouring over into my cuticles and digging into my skin. My right toe nail is actively bleeding . I texted Susan's number and they left me on READ . Horrible service , I do not recommend. Not sure why they over book and rush on clients. I'll be going to the urgent care because I do not want any infections and I'll be contacting the city & state because this is ridiculous and unacceptable. For this to happen raises many red flags first of all are their techs licensed? 0/0 never returning.

    Medium, square brown with airbrushed light brown! Done October/24! Loved them!

    Love Susan's nails! They always keep up to date with the latest trends and have amazing nail artists like Susan and a new person who has done exceptional work! Love love Susan's nails! They also have a very calm environment with a small tv that plays music videos! Quality is always superb!

    So many catseye color options

    nails are perfect, service is awesome they are hardworking and dedicated not half assing anything

    The acrylic remnants stuck on my skin

    This was my 2nd time coming here. The first time, I made an appt. When I got there, Sarah was working on another customer. No big deal, but it was about 30 minutes before she got to me. Although I didn't expect the wait considering I made an appt, her work was very nicely done which is why I came back today but a bad experience this time. I made an appt for 4pm. I was about 10 minutes late due to traffic. Sarah greeted me, as she was finishing up with another customer and I checked in with their kiosk. After 5 minutes, Sarah told me to have a seat at one of the stations. At that time I noticed she had another customer sit at her station. Another lady came to work on my nails. I was a bit confused because the appt was with Sarah especially since I really liked her work. I told her I wanted a fill but wanted GelX instead this time so she told me I would have to take off my nails and get a new set. Ok no big deal. So she returned with a bowl of acetone and told me to soak my nails. I spent a total of 50 minutes SOAKING. My skin was slightly burning and I was getting uncomfortable sitting there. I took my hands out and the other lady came back, looked at them and said another 5 minutes. At this time another 10 minutes passed and all of the workers were doing pedicures so there was no way I was going to get done anytime soon. Finally the lady came back and I told her to just finish taking off the acrylic and that's all I wanted because it was just taking way too long. While I was soaking , 3 other ladies came in with appointments and ended up leaving after they saw that I had been just sitting there for almost an hour with nothing done yet. I can say Sarah does nice work, but the customer service is terrible. I think they overbook, take too many walk-ins , and have no awareness of the amount of wait time that builds up. My skin still had remnants of the acrylic stuck on my skin that wasn't removed the right way. This was something I could have done at home with a nail clipper and a simple emery board. Definitely not even worth $15 after all that. There also wasn't any sense of being apologetic and didn't seem to care about the situation. If you make an appointment expect to wait until there's an opening or someone else is available and plan to be there much longer than expected. I've gone to bigger nail salons with a larger clientele, and never waited with having an appointment. My opinion is they need to be more considerate of their customers.

    Full-set acrylic nails

    My nails always come out so cute. I've gotten gel manicures, acrylic full set, and their deluxe pedicures. I recommend them all!

    Sara is amazing she always does a fabulous job i always leave with a big smile  I definitely recommend sara

    Great service and sara is incredible i always leave very satisfied i totally recommend sara!!!!

    The nail I asked her to fix. Clearly the paint is crooked and no it's not because of my finger.

    I came in yesterday for a pedicure and full set acrylic with French tips. Thao did my pedicure and my toes have ever looked this good! She did an amazing job with the French, shaping and asking if I thought it looked okay! My hands not so much... The lady who did my nails was nice but it seemed like she rushed through and did them so sloppy. The French and shape was uneven and when I asked if she would try to even it out, she started getting upset at me. I explained that I wanted them to look good because I had to pay for them, I eventually gave up trying to tell her what I didn't like about it because it seemed to me she was getting mad. All I was trying to do was respectfully speak up about what I didn't like about my nails. $115 later, I still did not like them. I ended up going to the store and getting a nail file and some white polish so I can fix them myself. I've been here multiple times and never had any issues with my nails like this. Thao has done my nails in the past and they have been beautiful every single time. I'm not sure what happened yesterday, but I don't think I'll be back for a while.

    Sarah fixing the shape

    I came in on Friday got my nails done. They looked terrible but I felt bad saying I didn't like them but I kept looking at them and literally could not stand them. I came in on Sunday and I had to wait an hour for them to see me and the lady in charge finally helped me. I don't recommend unless you have time and you get Sarah for acrylics. Thank you Sarah for fixing my nails!!

    I got a new acrylic set for my birthday and I absolutely love how it turned out. It looks so pretty and I'm grateful that they decided to work on my nails even after their closing time! Everything was so nice and welcoming even if you go in a but later they go their best to squeeze you in it was an awesome servic

    $105 Wonderful service today! And the outcome was beautiful. Thank you for staying late!

    Nails

    Very good service! The people are very nice and professional, I love how my nails and pedicure turned out all for a good price! I definitely recommend this place.

    Terrible experience! lasted probably ONE week with these nails and within that week I had to go back to the nail salon because within 3x days of having these nails two nails had fallen off and I had to go back to get them fixed then few days later 5 more fell off! Didn't even go back a second time because what an inconvenience of my time. 70$ thrown to the trash! Definitely not coming back.

    I finally found my go-to nail salon! Sarah is the BEST! It's been difficult finding a skilled nail tech around the San Mateo County area that charges at an affordable price. I got an ombré full set with a 3D flower design and I absolutely love how my nails came out. Sarah pays so much attention to detail and she knows how to do so many designs. My nails are literally perfect. My gel pedicure was also amazing because they did a hot stone massage treatment! I was in and out of the salon within 2 hours, getting a full service done. The service here is great and there is free parking available in the lot. The salon is pretty hidden but it's located in a plaza. I highly recommend this salon.

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

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.

The waxer didn't clean or prep my skin at all -- she applied the wax immediately after I laid down, without wiping the area, and didn't wear gloves during the service.

I broke out like crazy afterward and noticed leftover hair as well. While the staff member was friendly, the service felt rushed and unhygienic. Also, having to scan two separate Venmo codes for payment wasn't ideal. From what I've read, their nail services seem to be well-loved, but I would not recommend this place for waxing.
