    What I asked for, what I got. Gel X chrome French tips
    Pamela G.

    Westlake Nail Spa is my go to -- everyone is very nice upon check in. I booked an appointment online and they seated me right away. For gel X or acrylics go to Dallas! He is extremely precise and takes his time with shaping your nails, is patient when doing designs, and checks in with you every step of the way. I wanted them short and he made it the perfect length. Thank you, Dallas!

    Gel X Nails

    Highly recommend this place if you're wanting high-quality attendance and care. Dallas made sure my Gel X nails came out perfectly and that the color matched my reference picture. Mary went above and beyond with my basic gel pedicure. Both were meticulous in their services and incredibly kind. I also appreciated the clean and quiet atmosphere the salon provides! Will definitely be going back.

    Chipped nails

    I've been a consistent client at Westlake for a year and some change and was really disappointed in my last visit. I received a new gel x set last month on 2/16 and the service was completely rushed. My cuticles were not cut. Two of my nails cracked within one week and some nails chipped. I called the same day it cracked 2/22 to notify I needed it fix. My only chance was to go was 2 days later from my call but was sick and couldn't go until the end of the week 2/27. When I went to get it fixed, my cuticles were finally cut and the nail tech decided to re-polish all my nails. I was really hoping that I wouldn't be charged but yes they did charge me for $10. When I questioned it the nail tech said because my nails looked dull and I returned almost 10 days from the initial service . My experience getting gel x nails for the past year , no nails have cracked or chipped , and lasted up to 5 weeks. So obviously something went wrong when the nail tech rushed through my service. Technically they were going to charge me more for the fix but since I'm a repeating customer they charged me $10 . The nail tech was visibly annoyed that I questioned the charge and said I didn't have to pay and essentially my nails looking dull and breaking was my fault . Nails are already expensive and a luxury, if I am paying $80 + for nails, I expect good service. And now after another week and a half, the same nail she fixed, broke. I really enjoyed getting my gel x nails and pedicure here but blaming customers for a poor service the nail tech did , does not sit right with me. Especially getting annoyed because I questioned the charge.

    I normally do my gel nails at home so it was nice to treat myself and get them done. I got a gel nail manicure and he did an incredible job with my cuticles although I think one of them may have bled a tiny bit which wasn't great but it wasn't noticeable. The color selection was incredible and the salon itself was spacious and busy. Quality was incredible as it has now been two weeks and my nails have not chipped at all, only grown out.

    Probably the most expensive most basic single gel color pedicure I've ever had. It didn't feel much like a "spa" pedicure unless you count the spa chair. During check in, I was told the gel removal was included. But during check out I was charged an extra 5. The gel polish was drilled off. No soaking. All in all it cost $85 plus tip. Wasn't worth it. Won't be back. 2 stars because the nail tech took her time with me. Even though she was stubborn about a few requests.

    Dip nails $50 - do not recommend
    Jess W.

    It was my first and last time here. I said do not push or cut my cuticles but the stylist says it'll make the dip lift sooner. I said that's ok. After dipping my nails 4 rounds she started to shave off some of the paint color (is this normal? My first time doing dip nail color)...THEN SHE PROCEEDED TO SHAVE MY CUTICLES AND CUT ME! My regular pedicure, it was fine. $37 and then had to pay $3 for the pedicure set which they told me to bring back next time or I will get another charge. I understand the reuse of own supplies, but what about the finger nail filer that was clearly used for many people?

    came here previously several years ago before COVID and this is my first time back. They remodeled the place since then. With the renovation the place looks a lot more modern, bright, and welcoming. I'm glad to see that they survived the pandemic and still in business. Shilah is the front desk/check in person. Her mom owns the place. Shilah is super professional is very helpful when it comes to finding an appointment that fits my schedule. I got pink to white ombré dip nails for my manicure. It was the perfect color for my Disneyland/Wedding trip to SoCal. Kelly did my manicure and she was very patient with me. Will did my gel pedicure which was a solid pink. He also did a great job and was super gentle with my feet. I plan to come back here more often. All the workers here are very nice. A couple days later I realized there were some nails that had bubbles in it. I called them and they told me they could fix it free of charge. I came in that same night and Rich was quick to fix my nails! Thanks so much again Rich and to the rest of the West Lake Nail Spa staff.

    Dried blood

    I really hate giving nail salons bad reviews because the employees all try to be friendly and are very hardworking despite long days, picky clientele, covid risks, and language barriers. I deeply empathize since I work in patient care, but I left the salon feeling very unhappy with my experience. The hubby bought me Classpass Credits to use towards whatever I please. It's good towards work out classes, massages, facials, haircuts, and nails. Since it's my day off and our 1 year wedding anniversary in Hawaii is coming up, I opted to get my nails done. Westlake Nail Spa was one of the few spots in my area that took my credits. Booking was easy and straight forward. I grew up in Daly City & outer Mission most of my life. I know all the nail shops and even though it was really clean compared to the shops on Mission, the quality was the same, but for more $$$. I got a deluxe pedi thinking they were gonna focus on my feet. It was a regular pedicure, but with saran wrap and lotion around my calves. I was a little disappointed, nothing was around my heels or actual foot. As for my gel mani, the nail tech. Kelly, nipped my skin and just giggled and said sorry. I know, shit happens, and thank God I was getting a dark color anyway, but she didn't even bother to wipe out the blood and apply pressure to make it stop. I've read many reviews about getting knicked too. I tend to keep my nails short, but for special occasions & vacations when I can finally wear them long, I grow them out before getting a mani since I have stubby fingers. For someone who's had idk, perhaps 100 manicures in her life, I've never had the issue with keeping my nails long. The tech insisted to cut them so it'll be easier for her to file and shape. I went in with nails extending slightly over my finger in a rectangular shape and left with them stubby and squared. I'm trying so hard not to be upset and since I used classpass credits, the price was discounted anyway. I've learned my lesson to never come back here again. If you're gonna pay this much, just head into Burlingame and San Mateo for better service & quality. If you're fine with in & out basic mani/pedi, just drive up John daly, go down mission, and you got much cheaper nail salons around Geneva. If you're scared of getting bip & don't wanna drop bread, I recommend driving to San Bruno & try the shops along El Camino UPDATE: I woke up to some of my cuticles feeling painful and raw, especially since gel had been cured over the cut on my thumb. I've been accidentally cut once or twice ever and it has never resulted in this.

    Last winter, one of the staff at the Kohl's Sephora store in Colma recommended Dong for manicures. I have had many dip powder manicures with Dong, who is sweet and really nice. I really like her work and have found dip to work best on my nails. The pictures show a few of the colors I've chosen and Dong's work. The vibe in the salon is chill, unlike a lot of salons I've visited where it can be noisy and the service can feel rushed. My dip manis take an hour and 15 minutes, which I don't mind because it's my time to be still in my body and mind. Parking is ok. There is a parking structure above the salon. I usually park across the street, where you can find a spot more often than not. The space itself is nice. I like pedicures there because it's quiet and staff will work on your pedicure only, leaving my hands free to read or scroll through social media. They give you the nail file & buffer after your service is complete AND require you to bring it back on your next service. If you don't bring the file and buffer back, they charge you $3 because they use a new file and buffer. I have like 3 or 5 sets at home because I have forgotten them and have been charged $3 for each time I forgot to bring it with me. The file set is different for a manicure than a pedicure. Starting at the end of July 2023, they announced a 3% charge when using a credit or debit card.

    I just had regular manicure here at 1 pm with Sue. She reassure me my nails are fine, I was ready to go. I went home , had a lunch and noticed my nails one hour later. I had to take my mother to ER same day, came back to the salon at 7 pm to reschedule her appointment for following day, showed the receptionist this work, she just smiled , suggested to gel one next time. I can not do gel or powder , my nails are sensitive. Regular manicure should not last one hour ! I was doing it all my life. I would like to speak with the owner.I wish I paid the credit card, I would call credit card for refund!

I also followed Amar from her previous location in Serramonte, which shows how much I trusted their work. However, over time I've noticed a decline in quality. I'm not sure if it's because they've built a loyal clientele or something else, but the attention to detail just isn't what it used to be. It's especially disappointing considering the prices have gone up. I completely understand inflation and don't mind paying more, but when prices increase, the quality should stay consistent or improve, not decline. I've since taken my business elsewhere. I'm paying more now, but it's worth it for consistent results and not having my eyebrows come out uneven.

She will tell you what time she has open you just ask her what times you have open between XYZ or what day you plan to come in and she will let you know what time she has open for you to swing by! Very fast but extremely detail oriented so no need to worry about quality. I've only used her waxing services and I always come out clean and no problems directly after or later in the night (I know since I've been to other waxers until I found Lisa. I've never gone to another one since) Good parking around the block so parking isn't an issue, just make sure to look at street cleaning signs lol. The place is calm and clean and always welcoming. She's got music in the waiting area and always relaxing or throwback music which I appreciate! There's a bathroom in the waiting area you can use. Definitely ask her questions if you have any. She's got great tips on skin upkeep between waxes and more! I've never had one bad experience from her so that is awesome! I know she does hard and soft wax so that's a plus! Since certain areas you need certain wax textures. I religiously go to her monthly unless I'm out of town. Not much traffic so you don't need to worry about speeding cars. Wide streets so you can look both ways for cars and there are stop signs. Daly City so you might need a jacket but all good!

About 5 minutes later, he tells me to sit 2 stations down. Ten comes over after she assisted another customer and asks what cut I would like. I told her I wanted to keep my V shape + long layers and just wanted to thin out my hair. She said ok and started straightening my hair. My hair is already very straight to begin with and I've never been to a salon where they start off straightening your hair, but this should've been enough for me to trust my gut and get up and leave! I decided to "trust the process" and she basically began dry cutting my hair and kept straightening in between cuts. In the end, she styled it with the straighter and said "I gave you more layers ok?" I'm so disappointed by Ten because not only did she not listen to what I asked for, but she butchered my hair. Of course with all the straightening, my hair would look decent because it's "styled," but when it's freshly washed and blow dried without styling, it's a choppy 3 layer haircut! I'm not sure who hired her, but she isn't fit to be a hairstylist. Now I have to either find someone who can fix my hair or just let it grow out.

    Unfortunately, I have to leave a 1-star review based on my recent experience…read more I booked "The Works" Custom Facial, which is advertised as a 1 hour and 30 minute service for $140 and includes a double cleanse, exfoliation/dermaplaning if needed, extractions, masks, face massage, cold therapy, serums, moisturizers, and SPF. My appointment started at 3:00 PM, but the facial was finished around 3:50 PM. I asked my esthetician, Serena, why the service ended so early because I was expecting the full 90-minute experience. I was told that the service is based on what your skin needs rather than the scheduled time, and that I did not require many extractions. While I understand that every facial should be customized to the client's skin and that I did receive the LED light treatment, I was disappointed that the service ended after about 50 minutes when I had booked and paid for a facial advertised as 1 hour and 30 minutes. I did not receive a mask, and the facial massage felt extremely minimal. In my experience at other spas, when extractions or corrective treatments are not needed, the esthetician typically uses that time for a longer facial massage, additional mask time, scalp massage, hand and arm massage, neck and shoulder massage, or other relaxing treatments so that the appointment still feels complete and the client leaves feeling cared for and pampered. Instead, I left feeling as though I received less because I take good care of my skin. What was most frustrating was paying the full $140 price, plus a 15% tip, while receiving a significantly shortened service. Had I known that the appointment could be reduced by nearly 40 minutes depending on my skin condition, I would have appreciated that being clearly communicated before booking. Advice: If you have acne, congestion, or significant extraction needs, this service may be a good value for you. However, if you maintain your skin regularly and are looking for a relaxing 90-minute facial, self-care experience, or glow-up refresh, I would strongly recommend asking exactly what is included and how long your treatment is likely to last before booking or just go somewhere else. I left feeling disappointed, misled by the advertised appointment length, and feeling that I did not receive the full experience that was represented for the price.
