    I'm afraid there's hoarding. This is my view from the pedicure chair.
    Mimi L.

    I feel bad writing this but I hope it will help the business because it's full of potential. Sunny's manicure is great and lasted, but there is no pampering. He absolutely knows what he's doing and I wish I felt safe using him again. He's good enough, I'd forgive the lack of TLC. Essentially, he doesn't soak your nails, limited cuticle treatment, seconds of a massage, but gives a gel that lasts and shines. The pedicure didn't last and the massage was very limited, as well. Honestly, I get pedicures for the massage to try and relax from a crazy week. This is not the place for that and that's fine, but selling it has a hot stone massage is misleading. You're barely touched for a few seconds with two stones. Basically, this salon has great talent in gel manicures, but they do not create a spa environment. Speaking of the environment that is my biggest concern. The salon was scary dirty. Had I not prepaid, I would have never stayed. I even debated getting up in fear of getting an infection, but the pedicure tools did come in an auto-claved sterile package, but for that I would have left. In short, if they'd clean up and amp up the pampering I'd would love to try again. The competition here in Marin is full of beautiful salons with chandeliers and champagne. It's hard to forgo that even for a reasonable priced well executed manicure. Hygiene is nonnegotiable.

    Nails peeled off.. 2 days later and the polish job was not all the way to the top, so it looks like they are already grown :'(

    Well I'm glad the few people who yelped had good experiences at this place because I didn't like it. They had a deal and I went for it, they were doing their pedicure and Gel manicure for $35. There's a reason. So here it goes- I personally don't like it when two people work on your hands and feet time because the result is usually not good. The lady first cut my toenails too short after the fact so I didn't have a chance to say anything; the lady working on my hands actually said, "usually clients tell us they want them cut even"... What? As I've come to know this from nail experiences, no one ever says sorry. I mean come on it would help. I think they just done care. Then the hand lady seemed irritated to show me new colors which other girls were viewing. Ok there's the end, my nails 2 days later..

    Fantastic job on nails and toes! Gel didn't lift even after a month of growth! You could waste your money going to other places or you could come here and know that you will receive tons of compliments! And if you pay in cash, it will be even cheaper!

    Perfect gel manicure! Just in time for our Easter celebrations. So pleased!

    Sonny did a fantastic job on our nails! My mom and I came her for a gel manicure and got stone pedicure. The lady who did our pedicure, (Nina?) she also was amazing. I came in with rough feet, it had been a little while since I have gone for a pedicure. Getting out even for an hour when you have a new baby at home is sometimes impossible. But I left with baby smooth feet and perfect nail polish. I'm so glad I found this little gem in Marin. First off they offer the best prices around. The best. Second they are kind and welcoming. As women know sometimes getting your nails done can mean a slight language barrier which can make it just a little more difficult to connect on a personal level. Sonny was so personable! He told us funny stories and made sure we enjoyed our time there. They both made mine and my mothers nails look perfect and I will be making this a regular thing. I highly recommend calling and making an appointment, they do not accept walk ins, you won't regret it!

    My nails were done so poorly... I've never received such a horrible job . Didn't shake my nails and did such a rushed job with polish ..

    Uneven color and no time spent shaping nails.

    Feel bad writing this but they didn't try or care. Tried giving this place a chance after getting a Groupon here, but do not waste your money or time here. I didn't expect to be pampered here just wanted to get in and out but my last experience here was awful. The lady who did my pedicure did not shape the nails whatsoever and did not clean the cuticles which I'm glad she didn't because I realized NONE of the tools were sanitized. This place is absolutely filthy. Also the nail gel color did not match the toes at all like I was told it would. She also put white a few layers on without letting them dry or putting a fan to them after, at the end i was told they were dry...but they didn't dry and hours later by the time I went to bed they still weren't dry! Will be taking it off and repainting myself. Just bad quality polish in general.I hate the color and would never pick this but was told it "matched the gel". My gel manicure was really disappointing, uneven nails and uneven paint job, the polish was translucent and needed some type of basecoat. The nails were filed crooked too. Worst part: When I tried voicing my concerns they didn't care, I paid and left and will never return. Also this place is just flat out so unclean and doesn't seem like they sanitize ANYTHING.

    Update: the first time I went was great and this review was on the second time I went. I went back one more time to see how it was and it was fantastic. I think the previous time was just a bad day. Sonny took every care possible for my nails and everything was very sanitary. He listened to what I wanted and recommended what he thought was best. Even when I wanted to change the color half way through he offered to adjust or completely change it and didn't charge me extra for anything.

    The perfect natural French
    Jen C.

    Bayview salon is by far my favorite nail salon. They are on point and give me fantastic manicures and pedicures. Sonny is fantastic and artful in transitioning fake nails to natural nails, and is meticulous and excellent in his manicures. Nina consistently gives long lasting and relaxing pedicures, and does a great job shaping eyebrows. The salon is comfortable, has a great selection of colors and shimmering nail decorations, and is conveniently located. Bayview salon is the only salon I got to for my manicures and pedicures because they consistently do a great job. Additionally, it is so fun to chat with them, and the environment is ultra relaxed.

    Cute Shellac gel nails
    Corinne Z.

    Got a Groupon deal for a shellac gel manicure and hot stone pedicure for $35. I called and got a same day appointment. The lady that did my pedicure was nice and did an awesome job with scrubbing and making my callous smooth. The gel manicure was done by the owner, he is very nice and takes pride in his work. He put at least three coats of the color polish so it would last he said. At the end, I was given a card to come back for the same GROUPON price which is a steal! If you're looking for pampering with tea and luxurious massage, this is not the place for you. This is a no frills, experienced technicians (owner husband and wife team) nail service who are honest and very humble nice people. If you come with a GROUPON, please tip on the full price since you're already getting half off! I recommend this neighborhood gem for their good work and reasonable price.
