    natural manicure in baby pink
    Navdha V.

    We came here for a Baby Shower for a friend and this place was great. They scheduled us all as the last appt of the day 3-5:30pm and with 9 of us drinking and talking it was a blast! The ladies did an amazing job shaping the nails without me having to keep checking.

    Dip manicure with nail design, perfect shape and thickness that I asked for
    Honest Reviewer C.

    I love this business! You won't find a nail place with kinder techs. I got a wonderful pedicure and foot massage by Nini, and a dip manicure by Vivian, with such cute flower design by Nini again. The vibe is great, I can't stress how nice and pleasant these ladies are enough! I truly love coming here and will be back. Thank you FYN!

    I had one of the most disappointing experiences here on 06/21. It was my first time here and I made an appointment online specifically with Lynn, but when I arrived, she and the other staff were speaking Vietnamese, and another lady ended up helping me instead even though Lynn was available that time. Although I didn't mind this initially, the quality of service I received was unacceptable. The nail shape was inconsistent across all my nails, and there was gel all over my cuticles. The gel was also not spread evenly, making my nails look messy and unprofessional. The lady almost skipped the cuticle cutting step until I pointed it out, and she had to go back to do it. What makes this worse was, the gel started coming off after just 1.5 weeks, whereas it usually lasts me 5 weeks from other salons. On top of all this, it took her almost 2 hours to complete such a poor job. I won't be returning and would not recommend this salon to anyone.

    Pauline did an exceptional job at softening and working on my callouses. Her pedicure is an art and she does it as a master of her craft. She is delicate in her touch at trimming ingrown nails and precise with the polishing. Ask for her! She wears a soft a-line bob , and has kind eyes over her mask. 5 stars

    This beauty salon is a Bay Area hidden gem! It's my go to nail salon and the acrylic nail artist, Nini, does an outstanding job executing my nail ideas every. single. time. She is super patient and will redo every detail until you're satisfied, that's extremely hard to come by so I'm very thankful for her! She only works on Saturdays therefore if you're planning to get a full set with intricate designs, plan accordingly. As for the salon itself, the ambiance is inviting, welcoming, and nothing short of relaxing. The rest of the staff is extremely kind and enjoy conversing. I've gotten my eyelashes done from the owner, Vivian, many of times as well and I don't trust anyone else with my lashes! I honestly couldn't recommend this place more. It's your full stop shop for any and every service you could possibly dream of. Manicures, pedicures, facials, massages, waxing, eyelash extensions, and more! This place is definitely worth checking out!

    This place is super affordable and they do an amazing job!! I got my hair cut here and it looked exactly like the butterfly cut I wanted

    This is what I asked for

    I came in yesterday and asked for this type of nail design, and she gave me a complete different style they are not even the same shape Not very happy.

    Amazing service! Really good team of women who do an amazing job on all of their services. I made an appointment over the phone and was helped by Ali, who did a wonderful job of scheduling me in when I wanted. I went to the salon to get a full set of acrylics and I was not disappointed! When I arrived at the salon, I had a warm welcome from Vivian. Miss Nhi did my nails and I showed her a picture of an intricate design that I wanted on my nails. She was able to replicate the set almost exactly, but made it even better than the picture by adding her own personalization. I could not have been happier with my nails! I'll definitely be coming back and will continue to recommend FYN salon to my friends!

    This place was probably one of the best places I've went to to get my nails done. Lynn did my nails when I came by and did an amazing job! The staff were really sweet and friendly and I would definitely come by again!

    Still my fave place to get my nails done and have some self-care and me time... Becky, Vivian, Tammy, Hanna, these ladies are all perfectionists! Becky did my nails with the same attention to detail that I would do for myself!

    Most recent gel manicure. Love it!

    This is my favorite place. I've been there 4 times now, for both mani/pedi and eyebrows. They've done such a consistently great job that I won't go anywhere else. I am hesitant to tell you how great they are, because the selfish part of me doesn't want them to get too busy; but they're cool ladies and they deserve the business. So: First and foremost, they do great work. I've gotten both the gel and regular mani/pedis. Gel lasted 2.5 weeks and I got numerous compliments. The regular lasted about a week, which is standard for me. They do very pretty and detailed art work if you want it, too. Secondly, their customer service is fabulous! The second time I went in, they addressed me by my first name. All the clients they see, and they remember my name on the second visit. That's unique. They speak English pretty well and are fun to talk to, which is an added bonus. Third, the atmosphere is nice. They keep it very clean and leave the door open during nice days so there's never been a noticeable "nail place odor" when I've visited. They play relaxing classical music. They wear uniforms and dress professionally. Fourth, the prices are about average, or less than average. When you consider this with the fact that the service is outstanding, it's a really good value. They take appointments and walk-ins. I recommend Yvonne for nails (I'm sure the other ladies are great too, but I always see Yvonne) and Vivian for eyebrows. Also, they don't have a private parking lot, but there's plenty of free parking in downtown Los Altos. Never had trouble finding parking close to the salon. If you go to this place, you will not be disappointed!

    Friendly nail technicians! Ann (I think that was her name) did my shellac manicure and she was so sweet and attentive to detail. I'll definitely be back!

I have really high standards for my nails and The Nail Bar has always delivered! Their team has been able to deliver on every nail art request I've had. Their owner helps you connect with the tech best suited to your request. Their expertise helped me to identify that hard gel is best for my line of work (frequent hand washing and sanitizing, heavily physical at times). The hard gel never lifts no matter the growth, it's filed thin and natural looking, and the beautiful nail apex they create is probably the reason I have never had nail breakage-- of the gel or my own nail-- despite my work! Recommendation for new customers: definitely make an appointment or call before coming, whether for your full set or your repairs! While they take walk-ins, they are a BUSY salon. They are very accommodating, as they've done repairs for others in-between my own manicures. I've also witnessed their kindness towards more elderly clients they help into the salon chairs, etc. It's just a wonderful crew here. Thank you The Nail Bar!

Eventually, another woman came to get me. I booked my appointment a few days in advance, so I wasn't expecting to wait outside, but I understand that the business was very busy. To preface, I enjoy getting pedicures, but I don't use polish or gel because I prefer not to have anything artificial on my nails. My service was done much sooner than everyone else who had been sitting in the chairs before I arrived, possibly because I didn't use polish or gel? The chair was comfy, and the person who did my pedicure was kind, but it felt rushed since someone else was waiting for a pedicure chair. While I enjoyed the experience, I didn't think it was worth $50 plus tip. Because it's so close to where I live, I'll likely give them another shot on a quieter day to see if the experience is less rushed.

She was incredibly meticulous and careful with my gel mani, including with the edges. No part of my nail was left unpainted, no part of my skin was accidentally painted, and the texture and shine were perfect. For my gel pedi, Peter was super thorough and kind! My nails held up perfectly for five weeks with absolutely zero chips or dents! Had I not been worried about just the look of the nail growth, I probably could have left them for another few weeks, even! I went back today for a new gel manicure, and Jenni's removal process was completely painless and gentle. Unlike some other salons, it was clear that Jenni placed a lot of thought and care into protecting my natural nail bed when removing the gel.

Sitting there, I overheard her with other clients and was impressed by how much she remembers about everyone's lives, time commitments, and preferences.

Quynh was incredibly friendly, understanding, and fun! I even complimented her nail color, and I ended up choosing the same shade, LOL!! My nails were a bit uneven, some long, some short but I requested a classic French tip. She wasn't initially sure if she could do it, but she pulled it off beautifully!

I had a Groupon for a pedicure here, and upon reviewing their website noted that they had 20% off for their opening and that gel nails were 45, so even though I normally go to Enjoy Nails in Palo Alto I thought why the heck not, I'll go here this week. The establishment is fine, but the woman who greeted me was on the phone, and remained on the phone while she started my pedicure. Any semblance of a "heavenly" spa experience was gone. A second woman came later, who started my nails, filing them down to thin stubs. Then we moved to the table, at which point the woman that had been doing my toes (who by the way, didn't wear a mask the entire time I was there) began blow drying her hair right behind me. Unhygienic and unprofessional. The manicurist finished my hands, at which point both women wandered into the back, seeming unsure of what to do next. Then the pedicurist/apparent hair stylist in training walked out on the phone again, demanding 55. I explained that wasn't what was on the website, pulling out the list for them to see. She saw the listed price, then got back into a heated conversation on the phone, at which point she hands the phone to me, informing me that it's the owner. This woman is ultimately why I wrote this review. If you want to create loyal clientele at your new business, I wouldn't recommend yelling at them over the phone. Nor would I recommend trying to bargain: this is a business, not a flea market. She insists that the service I received (pictured below, as well as what I had asked for) was not gel, but dip, despite my initial request over the phone and in person for gel and that my total was 55. I again showed the menu, and the pedicurist woman took pictures of my phone for her boss, but she continued to yell at my that it was 55. Then she said she could do 20% off 55 for 45. That's just not even the correct math. I really just wanted to leave at this point, as I was tired of being berated and paid the 44 (20% of 55) plus tip. They only accept Venmo or Zelle, which is beyond sketchy. The pedicurist then apologized to me, saying that she has to call her boss because if they get the wrong price they get yelled at. Not only do the employees not know what the prices are, the owner is rude to them. I wholeheartedly do not support this establishment and will not be returning.
