I have naturally thin, brittle nails. For the first time in my life, I'm able to have my nails done every few weeks without painful damage. Jenny is AWESOME- she does a careful beautiful job which holds up without chips for weeks. She does a dip under the gel, which has made my nails strong and resilient, and allowed me to always have pretty nails without pain or damage. She's also a sweetie and fun to chat with. So lucky I found her!! read more

Love my new set! So pretty and quick! Highly recommend! Thank you Jenny be back soon! read more

Blooming Nails & Spa - Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Novato, California

I had my first mani-pedi at Blooming Nails in downtown Novato and owner Jenny took me right on time. She has a nice color selection for both gel and regular polish. I use gel on my fingers and regular polish on my toes. While my feet were soaking comfortably, I explained I wanted oval shape on my fingernails and lightly rounded on my toenails. She listened and did that exactly right! Every nail edge was smooth too. Polish was applied evenly. A final coat of silver sparkles put my fingernails over the top! Shop is clean and airy, with high ceilings and several mirrors on one wall. Thanks Jenny, I'll be back to see you again!! read more

Jenny took me in as a last minute squeeze because my other salon wasn't picking up the phone. Great service, efficient and nails are always perfect.

Me and my mom went here as a relaxing girls day activity. And after our experience, we know we're definitely coming back. the owner, Jenny, was so sweet and even gave us her personal phone number in case something happened with our nails. Our nails were done beautifully, and professionally, and she took her time and you can see that in her work. she is very well trained, and the environment of the salon is clean and professional. i would 100% recommend this place, so professional, and amazing costumer service!!! read more

I don't usually make comments but this I thought needed to explain. I'd give it a Zero if it was an option. My nails were not as I wanted. I requested Gel nails and I got just regular nail polish. The only reason I paid was my nails looked better than how I walked in. I was in and out in 40 minutes by 1 technician, after a pedicure and supposed to be gel manicure. No foot rub, I mean nothing. No hand rub. Nothing. I may be expecting too much and maybe that's the way they do things but literally no pampering. Salon was not as clean as I am used to. Sorry to do this but the money was definitely not worth it! read more

I love Jenny, she is very thorough, very fast, yet gives the most fantastic massage ever. I literally go back because you can have a flawless pedicure with the massage (I extend 20 mins) and you feel like you received a 5 star pedicure experience at a very overpriced spa, I also only trust her with my brows, which is an easy add on, but one of her speciality's. There is no one better at brows than Jenny. She does great manicures, gel manicures and will even give my daughter a pedicure when she comes with, which is a special treat to have such undivided attention. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. I make it there as often as I can! read more

Just got a pedicure from Jenny. She was so friendly, funny and made the pedicure that much more enjoyable I will def be back.

I've been coming to Jenny for more than 5 years (found her on Yelp!) and I wouldn't go anywhere else. Her pedicures are always top notch, but it's her genius with ingrown toenails that has made me a forever customer. Even my podiatrist said she does a good job! Shiny, pain-free toes, 15 minutes+ in the mega-massage chair. What's not to like read more

I have been going to Jenny for years. She does great work and is a total professional. I highly recommend her for manicures, pedicures and waxing. She is awesome! read more

I started coming here over six months ago. I'm not sure how I missed this little downtown gem in the past. Jenny, the owner, is the sweetest. I always get the Gel Manicure/ pedicure, and for the first time, my manicure lasts a full two weeks without the polish coming off. My nails have grown in length and, overall, have improved drastically. Thank you, Jenny read more

I was recommended to Jenny by my sister, for pedicure and manicure and I am so glad she did, Jenny is so nice I wasn't one who gets her nails done on a regular but ever since coming to her I have been getting them done on a regular I always love how my nails look when she is done with them I love how she takes her time to get the ingrown nails out on my toe nails (never knew how bad i needed it) she makes sure it all looks neat and polished before she says she's finished and I like how she listens to what you want. 100% recommend! read more

What can I say about Jenny?? She is awesome. She has been doing my nails and waxing my eyebrows for at least 10 years. I refuse to let anyone else touch them. She is very professional and reasonably priced. I was so glad she made it through the pandemic. I don't know what I would have done. She has always squeezed me in if I broke a nail, or if I didn't plan well enough. Thank you Jenny for always being there. read more

I highly recommend trying This salon. The owner, Jenny has been in business for over 15 years and is friendly, professional and on-time. (I wasn't and she was very understanding!). The mani/pedi was one of the best I ever had. The salon is very big, clean and the massage chair is a great one! read more

I stumbled upon this place trying to find a walk in appointment and met Jenny. She was trying to go home but kindly stayed late to give me a mani/pedi. She took her time and did a great job. I now keep coming back regularly for a manicure. Jenny is very flexible with her hours. I get compliments on my nails. She even has this fun nail polish that changes colors based on your temperature. Feels like I have a mood ring! I wouldn't hesitate in recommending coming here to work with Jenny. read more

I have been a customer of Jenny for several years, and have always been impressed with her friendly service and spotlessly clean salon.

Never again! By the way, I know that recently YELP has changed it's process for flagging and removing fake reviews. But you have to wonder why this place has SO MANY 5 star reviews written by people who have fewer then 3 reviews total. It kinda looks like Jenny got her friends to all put up great reviews for her. . . and that doesn't tell the rest of us what we rely on Yelp to tell us, does it? HERE is my truth: I had a business meeting in Novato and ran my nylons getting into the car on an earlier stop. So I popped into a drug store, grabbed a pair of fresh nylons (and a couple of sets of fresh lashes and lash adhesive) and headed to Blooming Nails. After confirming that Jenny could wax my brows and apply the lashes, I stepped into the bathroom to change my nylons. The bathroom was filthy. I ended up standing in one (stiletto) shoe while taking off the ruined nylons and putting on the other pair. I came out and Jenny waxed my brows and applied the lashes. Less than 10 minutes later, I'm signing a credit card slip for $25. I confirmed- "you charged me $25 for that?" "yes, the eyebrows" Jenny said. First, I want to say that I think its REALLY aggressive to charge that much for less than 10 minutes work. If she charged me $15 for the whole thing, I probably would have tipped $5 for each service and felt fine about it, but when I saw what she charged me, I left no tip at all. Second, the lashes were lifting within 10 minutes. So the high priced work was BAD, too. Don't go and warn your friends. Three things to remember about Blooming Nails = filthy, expensive and bad quality work. read more

DO NOT GO!!!! INFECTION AND ADDED $$ TO TIP. I have been here twice for pedicures and after the second time I will not be back for two reasons: 1). Within an hour after my appointment I started having pain in my right big toe.The next morning I woke up to find myself with a severe infection (right before leaving on vacation) that made it painful and difficult to walk. It has taken me six days (and all of my vacation) and the infection is finally healing thanks to loads of alcohol and hydrogen peroxide. Obviously they DO NOT STERILIZE and do not maintain strict health standards. I have been getting pedicures from various places for eight years or so and never have I had an infection or any type of issue like this. 2). Also, on my visit I left a 15% tip. I clearly indicated the total tip and the final amount to the card. Today when going over my credit card receipts I was shocked to find that they had added on an additional $2.00 to the total without my authorization. When I called to discuss they threw every excuse imaginable at me, but finally agreed to give me $2.00 in cash as they apparently cannot credit a card. This was ONLY after I explained to them that it is fraudulent to add money on to a charge and that I would be getting my bank involved if they did not correct the issue. Although the ladies are friendly and accommodating they obviously do not adhere to high health and moral business standards. I will be going elsewhere and suggest everyone to do the same. ADDITION: I would like to state that I did get my money back and they fully admitted to adding money onto the tip. I won't get into details but I would strongly suggest checking your final amount billed as apparently this happens regularly when they think they are owed more (their words, not mine). Also, in regards to people sending me notes stating I was untruthful, posting a phony review etc, unnecessary. I was looking forward to making Blooming Nails my new "home" so to speak and ended up miserable. Perhaps you all have had great experiences and that is wonderful, I however did not. I would like to add that the mention of health/cleanliness is per my doctor as Kaiser. After a week of infection I went for an appointment and apparently my problem was nothing new and a result of unsanitary/unclean conditions. In other words either the instruments, the pedicure whirlpool or the very hands of the lady were not clean and introduced an infection into the cuts they were making into my toenail cuticle etc. Good luck and I hope that your experiences continue to be wonderful as I do not wish mine on anyone. Happy Mani/Pedis! read more

Jenny is the best! She does the most detailed and amazing job on acrylics. She also does great pedicures and manicures and stays up on all the latest trends! Easy to get an appointment, easy parking and late hours. read more

With my two previous reviews being wonderful I have to make a follow up. It's now August 2011 and have been going to Jeni for over 6 months. I love her style to acrylics. She does them thin and very natural looking. I had a pedicure recently and wasn't thrilled. Not worth the money for the "spa" in my opinion but that's only me. I have decided not to go back for a few reasons and it isn't the nails themselves because I LOVE her work. I won't be returning because when I am paying for a service I want the service only. She often has her young children in there ( 3 of them). These boys are well behaved but still...I've had to wait so they can be tended to. Another occasion I had an appointment and had to wait 20 minutes when I got there and she still wasn't ready so I had to leave. She did call and try to make it right by asking me to come back, she offered me a discount, apologized and I did return but only to get the same treatment and ... no discount. :( As a single parent I do understand having to care for your children but that's what childcare is for ( or another sitter etc) I am currently looking for a new salon, if you happen to read this please oh please send some locations my direction!! Thanks and sorry, Jeni! read more

Love the tranquility and peacefulness you feel when you walk-in. Best pedicure I've ever had here no matter who does it, but everyone here can't do nails, so I recommend you trying out a few of their manicurist before getting discouraged. I prefer Kelly to do my nails and there's another young lady, but I can't remember her name, but she really good as well. Overall I've been pleased going here, but giving you a heads up, they're more expensive than your normal nail shop, but definitely worth it. read more

I've been going here regularly for over a year now and have always left happy. I tried many other places and for some reason (whether it is product or application) my gel polish stays on here FAR longer than anywhere else. For this reason alone I always go back here. Jenny and the others that work here are lovely and the price is right. They have always been wonderful and worked with me bringing my young baby in with me (sometimes even keeping the baby amused while I am getting worked on). On occasion my sessions have taken longer than I wanted due to them working on others at the same time. But, at such a great price I don't really see this as a big problem. I saw so many negative reviews and am surprised. It is a great place, they do great work, the price is right - I am happy. read more

HI Everyone! I wanted to take a moment to praise my favorite nail salon in Novato, well pretty much Marin. I have been a customer of Jeni, since she was in Mill Valley and have followed her and would continue to follow her anywhere in the bay area. She has always been very professional and friendly. I love the quality of her services. I typically can go a month between fills since the nails last, and never do they seperate or lift or break. I am a fan of the spa pedicures. I love the scrub she uses and the masks. It leaves my legs feeling super soft for days. I truly truly do suggest her and her staff to anyone looking for a great person to do their nails and feet. I know some might say that shes expensive but if your spending 20-30 to get a fill and a pedi and then have to spend that again to have them done again in two weeks or less your spending too much. Jeni is one of the few people who I've gone to, who has been able to get my ingrown nails out too, after winter boots and shoes. I have NEVER gotten an infection, or had any problems with her. In fact when I have had any issue, shes been quick to resolve, and fix whatever the issue has been. Shes fantastic. Her tools are always clean, the sanitizer machine is in plain view. I have been there plenty of times where people have gotten huffy about having to wait, but I would gladly wait when your getting quality. And I know most of these people have come earlier then she has made appointments. Come on now people if you show up early have the patience to wait. Anyways, just my two cents about a great place. read more
