    First time in this new location, looks very clean and nice! Irina was amazing, did a great job on my hands and feet! Love the bright pink ("brand color" :-) Wish more people knew about this dry manicure - pedicure place and give it a try! Much better and safer and cleaner than traditional nail salons.

    Amazing service! Very detail oriented with very natural results. Be prepared to pay double what you normally would at a basic nail shop but the results do last twice as long and look better! If you are looking for natural, clean, attention to detail... this is your place!

    Russian manicure with poly gel overlay and my signature red polish!

    This review is for the eyebrow lamination, tint & shape. I've seen this trend all over social media and decided to give it a try. I grew out my brows for 2 months. Today Tanya did an AMAZING job I am so happy the way my eyebrows turned out. I also get my manicure & pedicures here at YARCO. I've been a loyal customer for almost two years. I am VERY VERY picky and I'm so pleased with all my services here. Do not hesitate to give YARCO a try you will not be disappointed. All the ladies here are so helpful and super nice. Yara the owner is a doll such a sweet & genuine person who runs her business very well.

    I have had very thin nails my whole life, so I need to keep my manicures maintained in order for my nails not to break often. I have been getting acrylic nail extensions for years and noticed that my nails were getting severely damaged from how rough acrylics are, so I decided to see if there are any nail techs near me that do Russian manicures (since I would get them whenever I was in Russia and LOVED the results). For some reason, Russian manicures weren't very popular in the USA until a few years ago so I couldn't find anyone local to me (in San Francisco) but I found Yarco Studio in Mountain View! I have been coming to Yarco studio since they first opened and I will keep coming back as long as I live in the Bay Area. I drive over 45 minutes to this salon for my nail appointments because the quality of their work and customer service is unmatched! Lena is an amazing nail tech and my nails end up PERFECT after every appointment, I am very picky about my nail shape and I have never had any issues or ever had to come back for a broken/chipped nail. When I was getting acrylics I would need to get a fill every 2 weeks because they looked so outgrown, but with a Russian manicure my nails last 4-6 weeks without any breakage and they grow out so naturally! I noticed my nails and cuticles started to heal with time and my hands are finally back to being healthy and recovered from acrylics/harmful chemicals they endured for years before. The manicures are a little more on the pricey side but it's so worth it once you see the quality and how long the manicure lasts you. Russian manicures are healthier for your nails, they last longer, and they look so much better!

    So soft! Perfection!

    My feet have never felt so soft ! They spend so much time working on every detail from heal to toe. This is hand down THE best pedicure and manicure I have ever experienced!! Totally upscale .

    Great customer service! They greet you with a beverage and chocolate. And if you're a new client they gift you a cute goodie bag with cuticle oil and lotion, that was a nice touch. Now for the nails themselves... Bema did overall good job with the exception of a few nicks/cuts when cutting my cuticles. I have 4 cuts that still sting. Hopefully that won't happen again at my next visit. But the paint job was good pand very detailed. I tried my first Russian manicure at a diff location and can tell the difference in their technique. This place seems more authentic Russian manicure. Let's see how they hold up. I'll follow up with retention feedback in a few weeks. Overall do recommend this place.

    I normally don't get manicures, and so I came in for my first one when I was getting engaged. The staff did a great job answering my questions about how to best take care of my nails. I liked the manicure so much that I now pretty much constantly have my nails done. My favorite tech is Anna, and she always does a great job with my nails. So much so, I trusted her without a doubt for my wedding nails (French pictured). She went the extra mile to shape and paint the nails to perfection, paying attention to details and constantly seeking my feedback on how they were looking. Attention to detail and responsiveness to feedback are two consistent traits I've seen with Anna, so I would recommend her without a doubt! I also cannot speak enough about the quality and longevity of the nails! First, they've enabled my nails to grow the longest they've ever been without breaking, an impressive feat considering I work with my hands in a lab all the time. They also last and look great for over a month - I've gotten multiple compliments on them 3-4 weeks post-manicure, and people are shocked when they learn they look that good for that long. I could probably push the time between manis longer, but I just get annoyed with the nails growing too long. Overall, I would strongly recommend this place. The vibe is professional and the manicures are high-quality, definitely making them worth the higher price point. I love always feeling put together and not having to worry about my nails for a month at a time.

    This is 2 weeks post manicure, usually by this point I would need a new manicure.

    Decided to try out the "Russian" or dry manicure and was pleasantly surprised w the results. My manicure definitely lasts longer than my typical gel manicure and the overall look is a lot better. I think it's important to note that the gel setting for the base and first coat BURNS! I thought it was just me but the first time I went another customer made that comment to the tech. I've been 4 times now and it's the same every time. It's also A LOT pricier than your regular gel manicure and takes a lot longer. So prepare for that. This salon is very clean and the staff is attentive upon arrival. After that it's pretty quiet and every time I've been there the only talking I really hear is between the nails techs or if the person they are working on happens to speak Russian. But personally I don't mind a quiet session. All that said, here is my experience(s) breakdown: Cleanliness: 5/5 Ambience: 4/5 (they offer water, tea, etc. when you arrive), the only down side is they have a tv playing what seems like "travel blogger" videos with techno-like music as a backdrop ON LOOP. So if you're there for 60-90 mins and can't tune it out, it'll definitely make you a little crazy Staff friendliness:4/5 (based on above note) Manicure quality:4/5 (one time I had a different, presumably new tech and my manicure was def different, and this last time there was a little bit of "spill") Overall, it's worth trying it at least once and see if it's worth your time and money.

    I absolutely love coming here to get my nails done with Lilia. She does an amazing job each time and her attention to detail unmatched! I look forward to my new set each time!

    I got a lash lift here after what felt like hours of searching for a good one in the Bay Area, and…read moreI highly recommend this place. I chose it because the results looked noticeably more lifted than other studios, and it did not disappoint. I had a lash lift with point extensions done in Korea about two months ago, and I'd say the quality here is totally comparable. It's only day two, so I'll report back on how it holds up, but so far I'm really impressed. I've already recommended it to all my close friends and even booked my second appointment. I haven't tried their other services yet, but everything else they offer looks great as well. Plus, parking is easy, which is a huge bonus.

    I've edited your review to keep all your important details while making it clearer, stronger, and…read moremore impactful for Yelp. Since this is a social-style post, I'm putting it in a writing block for easy copying: The staff was sweet and kind, and Corinna herself was very nice, which is why this review is bittersweet for me. I truly wanted to have a good experience, but unfortunately my results were very disappointing--especially considering the amount I paid. During my first visit, the procedure was one of the most painful experiences I've ever had because there seemed to be a lack of care for my comfort. I was not offered any numbing cream, and I was in significant pain throughout the entire appointment. Before coming here, I already had nice eyebrows done by another professional--I simply wanted a touch-up to make them a little darker and slightly thicker in the middle. Instead, I was charged $700 as though this were my first full brow procedure, despite already having existing work done. I was also charged an additional $100 for "nano" work that was not done deeply enough, and it completely faded away once the scabbing healed. Another major issue was that she shaved parts of my natural eyebrows that should never have been touched. I expected only the small hairs underneath my brow to be cleaned up, but instead more of my natural brow was removed. I carefully followed all aftercare instructions, yet the pain in my eyebrows lasted nearly three weeks. Most importantly, she did not follow the shape I requested. I specifically wanted my brows to remain similar to what I already had--slightly thicker in the middle--not higher, not more pointed, and not thinner. Unfortunately, that is exactly what she changed. I let it go after the first visit, hoping the touch-up would correct things. Sadly, the second visit made everything worse. I returned because the nano strokes had disappeared and my brows still did not look darker--as if I had barely had anything done despite spending so much money. During the touch-up, even more of my right eyebrow was shaved off, making it much thinner and more pointed than it has ever been in my life. I walked out looking like I had overly thin 1990s brows, which was absolutely not what I wanted. Now my right brow is noticeably thinner and more pointed, while my left brow was left thicker and more intact. I am literally walking around with two uneven eyebrows after paying $800 total. This was a very expensive service for me, and I trusted this business with my face. Two years ago, I paid another professional in San Jose much less, and the results were beautiful. I came here expecting the same level of expertise and care, and unfortunately that was not my experience. Again, the staff was kind, and this is difficult to write because everyone was pleasant--but kindness alone does not make up for poor results, pain, and leaving a client with uneven brows after such an expensive service.This version is strong, credible, and more likely to be taken seriously by readers and the business.

    I learned about microblading 2 years ago on Instagram and I always thought it was so neat but…read morealso... too good to be true. There has to be a catch right? Perfect brows? As soon as you get up every morning? Nahhh. Popularity only grew and the more it placed itself on my Instagram feed. I thought perhaps this was some kind of weird Instagram algorithm where they saw my patterns of "liked" microblading videos lol. Come to my surprise, a lot of my friends were talking about it and getting their eyebrows done. They looked amazing! I got so curious about it and read a couple of reviews and I was spooked off of some of the reviews I was reading... I read about eyebrow disasters and "trusting" your artist. So I had spent time on researching different artists and studios. I was introduced to Tiffany's work through complimenting one of my girlfriend's eyebrows! "I got it microbladed!" I totally thought she had grown out her brows and reshaped it or something, wrong. Microbladed. "Whats her IG?!?! (Instagram account)" I was impressed with her work! And I jumped on the opportunity immediately! And made the appointment. While introducing herself to me I started to feel at ease and comfortable. Honestly, I had been freaking out the night before up to the moment I met her, wondering if this was something I really wanted to commit myself to. During the consultation she was very professional and thorough. She was patient and reassuring answering all my questions. She was very attentive and took her time to get the framework even and natural. Im very particular and like my eyebrows a certain way but she never flinched frustration if I suggested a slight change to the shape and sizing of my eyebrows. Once we started the actual microblading process, she continued to make sure I was comfortable, talking me through the process, and played very relaxing music. The whole experience put me at ease. I am so happy with my eyebrows! They look amazing! She didn't stop at being incredible after my appointment, she continued to encourage me to ask questions, if any, during my healing process. I strongly recommend Tiffany if you're looking to get your eyebrows microbladed!!!

    I just had a very therapeutic first session of microblading done by Tiffany!! She introduced…read moreherself with a firm handshake, welcomed me in, had me sit down and explain a bit of what I was hoping for. I told her a natural look. My eyebrows are really the only thing I occasionally put makeup on and I was interested in microblading to simplify my morning routine. An accident from years ago left me with a scar which kept hair from growing in half of my left eyebrow. Though I hadn't researched much beforehand (except to see her 5-star reviews and know I was in a good place), I felt immediately trusting of Tiffany's vision. She applied a first bit of topical numbing cream and I signed some paperwork. Then I relaxed as she drew an outline (which I confirmed), we chose the color pigment, she did the first round of incisions, applied the numbing cream (which needs to have cuts to go in in order to work), and then she got to work filling in the rest of my brows. I didn't mind the sensation, and the entire time Tiffany and I were excitedly chatting about all sorts of things ranging from travels, to dreams, to philosophy and "living our best life"! Tiffany was very attentive to creating a comfortable and nourishing space. I was impressed by her ability to concentrate as we were having such a good time! By the end of the procedure, I was a little nervous as I was bleeding a bit more than most people (I think maybe due to anemia but some people just bleed more than others apparently). Bleeding more means the pigment is less likely to stick, but Tiffany was sure to patiently clot it with a tissue and reapply more pigment after so it would stay. Thankfully, when she showed me the mirror I was giddily relieved as it looked AMaZiNG!! I am thoroughly impressed with the work she did. My brows looks thicker, fuller, darker (ahem- like they exist 100%!) and I feel more radiant than ever! I went for a long walk after just to show my babies off!! ‍ I feel more confident and very satisfied with my decision. Tiffany was so sweet, professional, wise, and intuitively able to connect with me on a deeper level personally and in regards to giving me exactly what I wanted (without much input from me). Her prices are also very affordable for such good quality compared to what some other salons charge. I 100% recommend her! Be sure to get an appointment before she leaves to share more beauty on the East Coast!

Chu is truly an eyebrow artist, and did an awesome job! She is professional, knowledgeable, and patiently addressed my concerns and questions thoroughly. I am very thankful that my niece recommended her. I would recommend Chu to anyone who is considering having nano brows done without hesitation. It is worth the drive, money, and the best decision I ever made.

They would always be patchy because hair wouldn't grow evenly. My eyebrow hair was also very light so I found myself filling in my brows constantly. I decided to finally go for nano brows after I saw my aunt. She always had nice eye brows and she told me she had gotten nano strokes done. I was astonished. They looked so natural and the hairstrokes were very realistic. She gets really busy so be prepared to wait a few months. My appointment was in August and I made it back in May. Her studio is super clean. I really enjoyed the music she played but she also offered to play a podcast or other music. You can tell that she really takes her time to make the brows how you want it. The procedure was about 2 hours so not too long! She gives you a little card about the aftercare which is pretty simple. You also schedule a touch up about 6-8 weeks later. She takes Venmo or Zelle as payment! Excited to be back for my touch up. I'm so so happy with my brows and I feel more confident.
