    Beautiful color palettedip nails Great attention to detail and generous with their time!

    The overview of my booking
    Teresa K.

    Amazing service and kind staff got a beautiful man pedi with such efficiency. I highly recommend!

    Update: the owner reached out and has refunded my service. As well as apologized for the experience. I booked an appointment for gel nails and gel pedicure with callus treatment and a longer foot massage. I left with a gel manicure and a regular polish pedicure. The gel manicure is messy and so thick the nails don't even look like they have a shape. The gel is pooled to one side and the tips. The pedicure had no massage at all and just a severe exfoliation with sugar scrub to my shins. The pedicure is a mess with polish everywhere and my toe nails are all different lengths. The location is small and packed. It's dirty. The staff spend the entire time talking amongst each other in their native language. Truly upset as this place was recommended and I will never be returning. I wish Yelp allowed no stars

    Update: the owner reached out and apologized profusely, which I very much appreciate. I decided to give them another shot and this time they really paid attention to my cuticles and cleaned up my nails before applying the gel-x nails. I also got a little star design which they did a very good job of painting on my nails. All in all to say, I'm glad I came back!

    Candy is my go to gal here for Gel X. She is so sweet, friendly, and professional. I have been coming here for some years now and have never left disappointed and my nails always last so long. She executes any nail inspo that I bring to her, I cannot recommend her enough! Salon is very clean and welcoming as well.

    Best nail salon I've been to. They take great care of you and always do a great job. I love that they are always laughing.

    I get my nails done here every 3 weeks with Candy! She kills it every time and always delivers exactly what I ask for. Highly recommend

    I get my nails done here every 3 weeks with Candy! She does gives me exactly what I ask for and always delivers. One of the few places I've found that does Gel X and I absolutely love it. Highly recommend over acrylic and also recommend asking for Candy if you want a special design. Also very friendly staff

    Nail art

    This place is amazing! They went above and beyond with service, Amy not only did the nail design exactly what I asked for but she corrected a bad Gel X job I did somewhere else. Had a pedicure and neck massage as well. I am extremely happy with my services, and will make this my go to place from now on. See picture and video attached.

    I really like this nail salon so far. I've been twice, once for gel-x/pedicure and once just for a gel-x fill. I've had two different techs and both have done a great job. Everyone is friendly and the place is clean. If you bring in a picture of what you want they can replicate it exactly. It's not cheap at all but if you're looking for good nail art and something fun it's a great place.

    I've been going to TopCoat consistently for about a year for hard gel manicures and occasional pedicures. I've seen Amy, Brandy, Helen, Nana, and today saw Michael for the first time. He is new to the salon and did a great job. Everyone's always super friendly, efficient and most importantly-- they all do a great job! I've tried a few nail salons in the area and this one is the best.

    crooked nail

    deceptive with pricing. tore up my nail beds, wouldnt stop even i asked. one nail in ny gel x set is entirely crooked

    Builder gel manicure

    Best mani/pedi I've had in Marin. Kieu was very attentive to detail and spent ample time delivering a quality result. I did not feel rushed at all despite coming in for my appt one hour before closing. Builder gel mani and regular pedi was $108+tip. Super reasonable for this area!

    I have been coming here since they opened. Amy and Brandy are wonderful. Got my winter gel x set in an hour! :D

    I'm very particular about where I get my nails done -- so many places leave your nails clumpy,…read morethick, or chipping within days (especially with natural polish). 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 :)

    At my last pedicure I told the woman she could skip the massage (I don't typically enjoy them). She…read moreasked why and when I said I was meeting a friend she rushed through the pedicure. 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.

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.
