Look I've been to barbershops where they charge $40-100 and Carlos did the job just like those shops.

Awesome! Wonderful, perfect nails every time. I am really particular about my nails and I get…read moregel fills and gel polish overlay and that is hard to find for some reason. Sindy does a perfect job every time and I don't have to worry about my nails peeling or curling early. I followed her from her SF salon then to her space at Shylock's and so glad she is still in San Rafael. (Close to the San Rafael Transit Center, so easy for me to catch a bus on the way home.) Large selection of colors for gels and regular polish. (My favorite is Perfect Match.) She also does fantastic and complex 3D nail art designs when I'm feeling more artistic. But I love the glitter! I love the new location of the salon and the boutique ambiance is super cute and relaxing! Make an appointment because she books up quickly and travels to teach. I usually book the next appointment when I go in.

Through text, she was able to quote a price, squeeze me in her schedule (same day!) and tell me the best parking near her location. Second, she was very understanding of my situation, having a 3 month old who needed her passy put back in a few times and sound machine turned on. Classic was very patient-- even when I accidentally smudged a nail! And her work is flawless, just want I wanted, beautifully hand painted French tip lines and a pretty flower on the ring fingers. And a pretty rhinestone! All in all, an amazing experience and I'll definitely be back the next time I need my nails done and with my daughter when she's old enough for a mommy daughter mani!

The prices are unbeatable and the staff is so fun. It's a relaxing environment and well equipped. I got a wash, blow dry, and flat iron and it was excellent! I highly recommend this business and be sure to ask for Sue!

I understand this is a training school and that they are learning, but I think better expectations…read moreneed to be set prior to the appointment. I came for a blowout, and right off the bat, it was evident that the trainee was not experienced with blowouts on long hair. However, I had no issues with the trainee itself. The trainer would come here and there to give some pointers, but after the wash and comb through, the trainee spent several minutes on one small section of hair while we were almost an hour into the appointment. While the trainer was there, I politely asked if it would be possible to complete the blowout in 30 minutes, as I had to be somewhere. This was on me because I have longer-than-average hair, and I should have double-checked while making the appointment. I was told that it would take about an hour when I made the appointment. The trainer got super defensive and stated that I was asking for too much, and this would technically be an $80+ blow out (my blowouts at traditional salons have never been $80+). I was surprised as to why he was so offended when I only politely asked and even offered to come back at a later time, as they close at 3 pm. Nonetheless, my event was postponed, and I was able to stay for longer, but the trainer ended up doing the blowout while the student watched. What I don't understand is why the students are made to do the service independently when they do not have much experience. The trainee was very sweet, and I understand that they were trying their best. It was overall a strange experience, and I don't think I will go back again. The results were just okay, and the curls did not last through the day.

From the moment I walked in, she made me feel completely at ease -- calm, welcomed, and genuinely cared for. There was zero awkwardness, zero pressure, and absolutely no rushing. River has this incredibly soothing presence that instantly makes you feel safe and comfortable, even if you're brand new to facials like I was. Throughout the entire process, River was exceptionally patient, kind, caring, and supportive. She took the time to explain everything she was doing in a way that was easy to understand and never overwhelming. She checked in constantly to make sure I was comfortable, asked thoughtful questions, and truly listened to my concerns and preferences. I never once felt like "just another appointment" -- she treated me like a priority the entire time. What really stood out to me was how thorough and intentional River was with every single step. Nothing felt rushed or mechanical. Every touch was gentle, purposeful, and incredibly relaxing. You can tell she truly cares about her craft and about the people she works with. Her attention to detail is unmatched, and she has an amazing ability to combine professionalism with genuine warmth and compassion. As someone who was nervous going into their first facial, River completely exceeded every expectation I had -- and then some. She created an environment that was peaceful, supportive, and deeply calming. By the end of the experience, I felt not only refreshed and glowing, but also confident, relaxed, and taken care of in a way that's honestly rare to find. River is the kind of person who makes you feel comfortable being exactly where you are, whether you're a first-timer or a regular. Her kindness, patience, and genuine care shine through in everything she does. I can say without hesitation that this was one of the most relaxing, positive, and reassuring self-care experiences I've ever had. If you're considering a facial -- especially if it's your first -- River is the person you want. I couldn't imagine a better introduction, and I will absolutely be coming back. She is truly incredible at what she does, and even more incredible as a human being.
