Chrissy is a life saver! For years I've struggled with adult acne. I have the worst type of skin...dry and acnaic. I've tried tons of treatments, antibiotics, facialists, products etc... none really did the job. Since I've been seeing Chrissy for facials and microdermabrasion every two weeks for the last 4 months my skin has done a total turn around. The products she uses during my service and for my take home care are all medical grade and top quality. She is extremely thorough and not afraid to really do some work. She was undaunted by the challenge of my difficult skin and continues to try new things to really get it under control. Chrissy also is an amazing manicurist. She uses the best gel products and really takes into account the health of my nails. She's also super quick which I really appreciate! If you choose nails or face with Chrissy or both, you can't go wrong! read more

Bonnie is so kind and gentle. love my new nails. She made me feel so welcomed and comfortable. 100% recommend and will definitely go back again. read more

Valentino's Salon - full set gel - Nail Salons Near Me - San Mateo, California

This review is long overdue for Kathleen's massage therapy. Kathleen provides excellent care and customer service. She listens to me and remembers my problem areas. She is extremely knowledgeable of the muscle groups and consistently helps me loosen up my tight muscles. After each massage with Kathleen I come out feeling pain free and completely relaxed. Kathleen is a complete professional and would make anyone feel comfortable and at ease. Valentinos is an adorable salon. It looks like a cute little home with several manicuring stations inside. In the back is one room for massage and another room for a hair salon area. The "house" is decorated with lots of antiques and comfortable chairs and couches. I love coming here. read more

This review is for Chrissy! I was never a "regular" with any one particular manicurist before Chrissy. I would schedule last minute appointments wherever a place could slip me in, and I would get very inconsistent results from one visit to the next (not to mention that my nails were a thin/peeling mess from the aggressive way everyone scrapes off gel polish, but I can't help loving gel!) Then I found Chrissy from a yelp search and I've been going to her ever since! Her manicures are meticulous, gentle and perfect every time, and she is so easy to converse with. But the main thing that keeps me going back is the health of my nails. She is so gentle when she removes shellac/gel polish and does it in a way that I'm able to get fresh gel polish every two weeks without destroying my nails. My nails are so much happier and stronger now! I would highly highly recommend Chrissy for your manicure/pedicure needs! read more

Valentino's Salon - Nails, perfect/meticulous like every time! - Nail Salons Near Me - San Mateo, California

Valentino's nail salon is a relaxing oasis. Not only do I leave feeling pampered, but their nail work lasts so long! Being a frugal college student, I used to just judge a nail salon on the price, but have ended up with 'one- day' manicures, yucky yellow toes, and molested cuticles. You can rest assured that this place does it right and well. Do go on and spoil yourself. Oh and ask for Kathleen for her wonderful pedicure massages and great personality. Parking is easy on the street, plus it's free (forget the Burlingame evil meter maids) and after you can walk down to the Ave to show off your nails. read more

Words seem to not be enough to tell how special all of the experts are at Valentino's: Kathleen, Michele, Bonnie and Patty - they are all awesome! Of course - I could go on and on about "my" favorite - that's Chrissy - I have been with her for 18 years now .... and they have been spectacular! Starting from my very FIRST professional mani/pedi to last weeks' facial - she takes so much if not more concern for my skin and nails than anyone has ever done. Gone are the chipped and cracked nails, replaced instead by a premium nail job that lasts and lasts! This is not an in-and-out nail fixing factory, but a premium salon!! The best ever !!!!!! read more

Kathleen is the best! I get Shelak or OPI gelish every time and it always looks amazing! I show her pictures of pinterest nails and she has colors to match! I also get pedicures from her and they last FOREVER :) LOVE HER! read more

Valentino"s is a one stop shop! They have every service possible all in a lovely, clean cottage-like home near Burlingame Ave. Christine is fabulous hair stylist who has kept me "a natural brunette with a few highlights" for many years. I love the products she uses and her attention to detail. Kathleen and Bonnie do a knock up perfect job on fingers and toes. Honestly-- I've only heard great thing about all the services at Valentinos. Looking for a great massage next time!! Ut Great salon. Reasonable. Quality. read more

I have been going to Bonnie for 30+ years. She is the consummate professional. As a result of the pandemic, the salon has been shut down for months. Bonnie and everyone there completely cleaned and prepared for Covid reopening and have better protocols than my doctors! Today I.benefitted from their efforts. I spent a lovely afternoon at Valentino's read more

Valentino's is a great place for mani/pedis AND massage! Bonnie is my mani/pedi queen, so kind and strictly adheres to health/cleanliness protocols (and soon she will be doing facials, waxing,etc.!) Kathleen started doing massage a few years ago and she is wonderful too. I really like the family feel of this salon also. It is unique, set in a small house with an antiques business run in the front parlor. read more

My first experience with Kathleen of Valentino's in Burlingame made me a customer for life. I set an appointment to have my nails done about 1.5 hours before I had to be at a fancy gala. I just could not stand to look at my horrible nails with my nice outfit. Valentino's had been highly recommended so I felt lucky to get an appointment. Little did I know at that time how lucky! Kathleen did an amazing French manicure for me in record time. She refused to let me dig around in my purse for money (which stopped me from ruining my nails) and said just send me a check. Now this was someone I had just met for the first time! She also got my keys out of my purse, walked me to my car, opened the door, leaned across me to start the car and sent me on my way. Wow! She wrote the book on customer service. I got so many compliments on my nails that night - I was thrilled. That was many years ago and I am still a loyal customer who tells all my friends all the time! Valentino's rocks! read more

Dena Shulruff at Valentino's is the best massage therapist on the Peninsula, providing craniosacral therapy, Bowen therapy, myofascial release, lymphatic massage, and more. Her massage therapy has been healing me from post-Lyme chronic fatigue syndrome pain and fatigue. Please see my full review at Dena's individual Yelp page: https://www.yelp.com/biz/dena-shulruff-cmt-roseville-3?hrid=wt5vtht_RN1FfHS24ZgPHQ Valentino's salon itself has a bright cheerful energy with women taking care of women (mostly). I have only been there for Dena's massage therapy but all of the women look like they truly enjoy caring for their clients. read more

I have been going to Bonnie for 25+ plus years. I have tried other salons, but I always end up back at Valentino's. Not only are they very gracious and professional, they vigorously adhere to strict health code standards (many places do not!). Before I retired, I had a erratic travel schedule. Bonnie always found a way to accommodate me. To use an old adage, you get what you pay for! read more

If you have a chance and your in the Burlingame area you have to stop and get a massage from Helen.. She was wonderful, she really helped my chronic back pain and she worked out a knot in my back that had been bothering me for months!! If your looking for a new massage therapist try this place out, and go see Helen! read more

This past weekend my girlfriend and I had the pleasure of meeting Crissy. Let me tell you how great she was. She was attentive, understanding, and compassionate. You can tell she loves was she does and how much she wants you to enjoy your visit. I had my nails done and the next day I was in again for an amazing facial. And how could I forget to mention how accommodating she is!! I can't wait to go back next month. read more

My mom has been seeing Bonnie since I was a little girl, and it was always a treat when she let us get a manicure. Now as a grown-up, I like to treat myself every once in a while. Bonnie's manicures last longer than any I have gotten at other salon's, and while they are a little pricey, the experience is worth it. Plus, she always fits me in when I need it, which I really appreciate! read more

I recently set up a spa day here for a friend's 30th birthday. There were 5 of us all getting various services. Bonnie, the owner, was wonderful helping me set everything up and coordinating all of the girls' treatments. I had a massage from Helen, which was wonderful, and got a mani/pedi from Bonnie (also wonderful). We all had an amazing time and I would definitely recommend Valentino's to anyone looking for a relaxing place to get pampered. read more

This is a great salon! I've been getting my nails done here for over 12 years. It is very welcoming - very professional - MANY services - and although I go to Kathleen, I would recommend of the fine technicians. Treat yourself! Linda in Millbrae read more

Only good things to say about Valentino's! On Sunday was my first time there for a pedicure and Bonnie was absolutely wonderful!

This is a wonderful salon, from the people to the atmosphere, you couldn't ask for a better place to get you nails done. It's a place where you can take time for yourself and just relax..... I've been a client of Bonnie's for over 10yrs, I wouldn't go anyplace else to get me nails done. Alison - San Mateo read more

If you want to get your nails done, I highly recommend Lena Goldberg. She is amazing, my nails look great- perfectly filed and cleaned. And the nails polish lasts for a long time , because she uses high quality products. read more

Valentino's is a wonderful nail place. I love that it is located a little further from Burlingame Ave, because it makes parking much easier. The women who work there are all very nice, and they are good at what they do. My pedicure has lasted well over a month, but unfortunately my manicure lasted less than a week. Overall I was impressed, but my biggest complaints are that I felt the service was rather expensive for the type of place that it is (no spa chairs, you sit in a wheeled office chair), I also felt as though the place was a little dated and not very hip. While I liked the services I received, I do not see myself returning anytime soon. read more

Great manicures and pedicures can be found at Valentino's. Owners Kathleen and Bonnie are wonderful. Read and relax in a cozy home-like setting a few blocks off Burlingame Ave. Clean and professionally run. read more

The facial services I received from Cian Xanos at Valentino's were superb! Cian's expert care combined with identifying my specific skin needs along with the fabulous skin care products help me keep my skin healthy and vibrant. I highly recommend anyone to visit Cian at Valentino's . . . . You will receive a superior facial with an expert skin specialist. read more

Writing my first review ever on Yelp for Chrissy! She is an expert at what she does and is both welcoming and a great conversationalist. Got a mani pedi and was so charmed by Chrissy that I decided to come back a few days later for a facial. Best decision I ever made! Chrissy is very gentle with extractions and after my facial all of the inflammation in my acne prone skin was gone. Chrissy sent me home with iS Clinical samples that were phenomenal. Used the eye cream for two days and bags under my eyes were gone. I live out of state and will be coming back to the Bay Area regularly for treatments with Chrissy. read more

Love all the ladies at Valentino's. Bonnie's manicures and pedicures are priceless. Have been a committed client for years and will be long into the future. read more

I've been a weekly customer of Valentino's for a couple years. You can have complete confidence in the cleanliness of the nail tools and pedicure equipment used at Valentino's. The atmosphere is that of a comfortable cozy English home (think tea, yellow walls, and soft floral couches) where you can easily pass the time reading a complete selection of all the current magazines. Relax! Leave with great looking and revitalized hands and feet! read more

Relaxing, refreshing and renewing. Jacqueline S. is right, this place is an oasis in the desert of fast-food nail salons. If you, like I, have had your nails ruined by a move-'em in and get-'em out, chemical-stinkin' nail place come here instead. New plastic liners for each pedicure and sparkling clean equipment instead of yucky impossible-to-clean "spa" chairs. I love Patti and her flawless work. My pedicure lasts a month with her careful handiwork. I look forward to my appointments for the pampering and the result. Bonnie is the most calm person I've ever met and Kathleen is the ultimate professional. Much more than just nails, you can have a massage, a facial, brow care and much more. Even Sunday appointments - but don't take mine! read more

I had a mani/pedi done by Kathleen the other day and was thrilled with the outcome. The location is at a super cute house in downtown Burlingame. Kathleen helped me pick out just the right color for my skin tone. I also really enjoyed the relaxing and peaceful environment at Valentino's. I can't wait to go back. read more

Valentino's is a gem. I have been having my nails and toes done with Kathleen for years and have always been thrilled with the entire experience. The atmosphere at Valentino's is warm and welcoming and the women who work there are professional, personable and take pride in their work. When I leave I feel that I have been pampered and polished. Kathleen is fantastic and I always look forward to my next appointment with her! read more

Great place for a mani /pedi! Bonnie is exceptional - as is Chrissy and Kathleen. The salon is super cool with antiques and great jewelry. I make the trip from Menlo Park to Burlingame every week because they are just that good! read more

I have loved coming to Valentino's for years for my mani/pedi's by Bonnie. She's always so warm and welcoming when I see her. Her application of luxurious scrubs and creams, along with a soothing foot massage, makes my feet feel so wonderful. No matter what my nails and toes look like when I come in, Bonnie always makes me look and feel beautiful! read more
