Beautiful, mellow vibe with lots of orchids and great professional service from Jenny

First time I had a nail salon owner be as concerned about my nail's health as the appearance of my nail polish. Jennie and Cindy are each excellent at their craft. Cindy does the pedicures and Jenny the manicures. I had Gel X nails applied for a vacation I was taking and they lasted me more than 3 weeks. I only removed them because I wanted to give my own nails a breather and to check on them, if not for that I could have gone another week they looked that good without lifting or changing colors. (I have heard the polish can yellow if you use a lot of hot water bathing or washing dishes without gloves.) But not in my case due to the care Jenny used in applying them and painting them. And here is where this salon outdid itself in my opinion, when Jenny removed the Gel X nails she was gentle and took the time not to just file away the false nails but to insure my own nails didn't get damaged in the process. She was very mindful of not rushing the process. Then when it was time to apply polish to my nails she used TWO coats of base. First a nail protectant like Nailtique and then a nail strengthener, clear coat to smooth the surface for the colored polish. No charge. No questions. Just did it the right way. ( My manicure is on week two and no chips.) I asked Jenny if she gets walk-ins because she is tucked behind Dario's on Bridgeway. Her reply was no. Makes sense but I'd like to see her receive more business based on her thoroughness and the obvious pride she takes in her work. So, if you are looking for a Nail Salon that is Owner operated and you're ready to receive excellent care and are happy in a small environment filled with flowers and the chirping of songbirds from the outside greenery and are tired of the gossipy places where you know if you hear "tea" about others you are talked about in the same manner when you leave? Please give High Five Nails a try. Jenny will stay open past 6 pm if you have made an appointment. And having your nails done on your lunch hour is another possibility if you work at 3030 Bridgeway. Make your appointment soon. She is a gem about to be discovered. read more

Great pedicure with Jenny! She was very professional and I will definitely go back. Great experience.

Called and made an appointment for a gel manicure. Came in and brought my daughter for a pedicure and the women were so sweet and accommodating. Offered us both water and helped pick a good color. It was the beat experience so relaxing and turned out great. I haven't been to the nail salon in 5+ years it was such a treat so happy we came here :) I will definitely be comming back. read more

This is my new local go-to and the dip manicures I prefer to most other places I've tried both in SF and northern Marin. Not to mention the price is super competitive - which in this economy, I need to consider. Tucked away behind a restaurant you'll find High 5 nails. A small nail salon that delivers. This time I got tips and dip, because my pedicure is still flawless from (here) a few weeks ago. The owner doesn't lay on the dip too thiccccc (as some places do) but makes your nails feel more natural. She just did an amazing job adding on some fake tips and brushed my American (a color) dip with some unicorn/Pearl chrome dust to give me that TikTok H Bieber look. I love this place, but suggest making an appointment for midday to make sure you can get in! I also know that if anything chips or breaks within 10 days that they'll touch you up for free, which is a relief knowing my mail history before here... I'll be back. read more

Jenny really treats your nail like a canvas and spends the time doing what is most flattering for your nail! She recommended a round shape and my nails have never looked better! MY FAVORITE nails I have ever gotten done by anyone! Not to mention the amazing price for this area. Ask for Jenny and I promise you will not regret it! read more

Jenny is one of the sweetest people i have had the pleasure of meeting, she takes her time and doesnt make me feel rushed while also giving an incredible pedicure! read more

I'm so thrilled I finally found the best nail salon in South Marin.... Jenny is careful, considerate, on time, and has the cleanest salon and the best selection of color I have found. Her manicures are long lasting and done beautifully...deluxe pedicures come with a 10 minute leg massage that is the most relaxing ever..and her music is great. I have never felt "rushed" in her salon and I feel she wants to give her clients the best possible experience. I'm giving High Five Nails 5 stars with gratitude!! read more

So, I still think the lashes looked amazing...but I was told they would last two weeks, and they started falling off right away. They looked great for about four days, and I kept them away from water, but the glue didn't hold. I need a redo, please. $200 for four days of lashes is not fair. That's highway robbery. read more

Recently stopped in to see if they could provide a basic nail trim. Met by a very rude manager / owner ( I assumed ) who told me emphatically that was not a service they wanted to provide and would only do a mani/ pedi. The place was empty so you'd think the new owner would be glad of the business regardless. The abrupt attitude and rudeness was not something anticipated. Avoid. read more

Best set of Gel nails/pedicure ever!!! High 5 to Jenny. I tried her two weeks ago for waxing (amazing). I wasn't satisfied at my former nail salon so on a whim, I decided to give Jenny a try for my gel nail fill and pedicure. I chose a deep red called "Red Carpet". I have lost count of the number of compliments I have received in the past two days. Everywhere from Sausalito to Stinson Beach, women are asking "Who does your nails?" I happily reply "Jenny" and give them the name/location of her shop. So if your a local or just visiting, this is truly a High 5 salon in every sense of the word. Time to get that glam, glam mani/pedi??? Call Jenny now. read more

Sophia and Vivian are so nice. This is my second time going and they are super thorough and detailed. I love coming here. I've tried their pedicures, gel manicure and full set which turn out great! read more

Pedi review only. I said it before, but I'll say it again: if you are concerned about picking up flesh eating bacteria from the jets in salon pedi chairs, I highly recommend that you ease your mind with a salon that uses bowls or pedi tubs. SCENE This is a really quiet and quaint shop to get your nails done. There were only three pedi chairs, which was cool because I could go with two girlfriends and chat it up. TREATMENT I got the milk chocolate pedi - loved it. My tub here was scattered with rose petals making for a super relaxing experience. Then, they exfoliated my heels with some sweet smelling brown sugar mix, followed by a chocolate foot and leg mask. I loved that the mask was sweet smelling and tingled like there was a hint of peppermint - nice finish to a sweet deal. DEAL I saved super big by buying a Groupon. However, I just noticed that Yelp also has a a sweet deal which is awesome for repeat customers - those Groupons are usually one hit wonders. COLORS I liked the color selection here because they had a lot more mattes than my regular place. The paint was done flawlessly, which isn't always easy with mattes (they tend to streak if you don't know what you're doing). Also, my nails didn't chip as quickly. OVERALL Overall, I'm giving this place 5 stars - well done. read more

I came here for the first time recently. I was extremely happy. I usually get a gel manicure. The owner runs the store. She was incredibly kind, welcoming, and we had great conversation. Her store is very clean, and has a great atmosphere. A place you can really unwind. There is even a massage place next door if you really want to go all out spontaneously!!! My nails didn't chip for 2 weeks, and her colors are many. I highlyrecommendcominghere!! . read more

I love this Salon. They are so friendly and kind. The environment is peaceful and I love the seats. I can take massage during manicure and pedicure. So clean and organize. I go there from San Francisco and I will it wirth it. Highly recommended. Thank you your service. read more

I love this shop. Tracy, her husband, and employees operate a clean first class operation right next to the Shell Gas Station / Car Wash in Sausalito. It is convenient with ample parking, and near Kitties Place. I just wished I would have started coming sooner. Sincerely, Wes read more

PART 2 If you are a person of color, please think twice before going here!!! Today, Tuesday, 1/28/20: 5 nails begin to peel, lift, and crack. I called in to ask for a fix as it has been less than 5 days. Tracy graciously said she can take me at 1:15pm. On the way there I thought to myself, this shouldn't have been happening, especially if she had prepped my nail correctly for gel application instead of rushing through it. I arrive, she looks at my nails and said I must have been rough on my nails, because they should not have been doing that. I asked her if washing my hands, putting lotion on my hands, or putting moisturizer in my hair was too rough, because that's literally all I've done. She still was trying to blame me because she's "been doing nails for 18 years and NEVER had this problem". Strange. I had not been picking at or messing with them, opening things, or scratching rough surfaces, so if gel is meant to last 2 weeks, why 4 days later they are bubbling, cracking, and peeling? Sounds like an application problem to me, but I never stated that to her face. She took off the gel of the nails that needed fixing. I told her my thumb nail looked like it was going to lift as well. She told me she knows what she's doing, and at that point was getting snappy with me. After she finished, she forgot to put a clear top coat on my thumb as she said she would, to "secure" the thumb nail, since she didn't want to fix it like the others. However, when I asked her to put it on my thumb, she told me she applied it already. It was clearly not applied. She then takes another customer and starts working on her feet. After I insisted this was the last thing that needed to be done, she then told the other lady to apply for me. The lady applied it then used her nail to "clean up polish" that got my my skin around my nail. She accidentally lifts the gel from my nail base, then trys to cover it up by adding more polish. I mentioned it to Tracy. She is very annoyed with me and she told me my nail was fine, just don't pick at it.... so leave. I go to my car and examine my thumb which had already started curling on the side. I was still there so I went back inside. Tracy then stood up and started yelling at me and going in my face saying she is losing patience with me. I told Tracy to please lower her voice as I am not causing a scene like she is and her energy was making me very uncomfortable. I was a customer who paid for a service that I felt was rushed in the very beginning. I came in to get my nails fixed in every step of the way I felt I was being rushed and hushed. All I wanted was to get my nails fixed and I would pay for it if it's not a courtesy for them not lasting more than a day without lifting. She then refused to service me and told me to take my business elsewhere. I let her know how confused I was by this treatment. The lady she was working on was just acting as if she didn't just witness Tracy being extremely rude to me. I asked the lady was I doing too much to ask for a nail to be fixed and if it seemed rude to her I was being yelled at and cussed out by the owner. Tracy interjected saying she spend an hour on my nails the first time (not true). The customer said she was just trying to relax, but she's been coming to Tracy and knows her to take her time, she fixed my nails "for free" and I continue to have a problem. I let her know I understand her experience with Tracy has been nothing but pleasant, however I haven't experienced the same equal treatment. I felt rushed and now I'm being yelled at for getting a nail fixed I offered to pay for in the beginning. Tracy continued to let me know how unwelcomed I was and I was not allowed back. I'm not sure the extreme animosity my way. I hope it's not racially motivated, but it sure seems that way, and there are many other reviews and verbal confirmations of this happening at this establishment. read more

This review is for the mani/pedi's I've received, not any hair service. Tracy does a swell job with my gel manicure and the girl who does the toes, does a decent job too. My only complaint is that last time, the girl who did my toes finished up and then passed the same tools she used on my feet to Tracy, who then tried using them on my hands! I was actually paying attention and told Tracy that I wanted fresh stuff and she didn't make a stink about it, but the fact that she tried, weirded me out. The girls are so sweet and it really is the best value in Marin, considering the great work they do, but I am just a bit weirded out with what happened read more

I so miss my mani-pedi with Traci. She is the best, and I've been going to her for years. She is super professional, clean, attentive to all details, and takes great care of my hands and feet. I wouldn't go anywhere else. I moved several years ago from Sausalito to San Rafael, but I keep seeing Traci. And she's super smart. read more

Hands down best nail and hair salon in southern Marin. Reasonable prices too! My manicures and pedicures last for weeks. Tracy and the staff are very friendly and pay close attention to detail. I recently had Hai cut my hair and I'm in love! It's the best cut I have had in years. Hai went over and above making the layers perfect and even got rid of my cowlick! read more

I walked in today on a whim to get a pedicure right before they were closing, and they happily took me immediately! She helped me choose a great color, was very friendly, gave a fabulous foot massage (which is honestly half of the reason I even go for pedicures!), and my toes look great! I'm very pleased and will definitely be back. Also the massage chairs are wonderful and strong, and they are covered in protective paper, so I knew I wasn't sitting on the previous customer's germs. read more

New ownership is amazing! It was such a relaxing experience. They took their time and gave the best foot massage! All of their products smell amazing. Highly recommend high 5! read more

Sophia was great. New owner cleaned the place up, dresses very nicely but gives a crappy mani-pedi. I won't be back.

I really enjoy my visits to High 5. They are clean, punctual, and quick. It's a calm, pleasant environment. When I walk in, they great me by name. Their work is beautiful and their massages are the best I've had in Marin. And I've tried a lot of places. read more

I originally found out about High 5 Salon due to a Groupon I purchased, and now, I will never go anywhere else. I usually go in for Shellac and a pedicure and recently they also started waxing me.This salon is easy to get to, there's always parking, it's extremely clean, and ALL of the technicians are efficient, skilled, patient and friendly, they don't gossip amongst eachother, they play great music...Its also very well priced. They always take me, even on short notice. No salon in Marin even touches this place. Also--they give an incredible lengthy massage. Go here. read more

My daughter had acrylics put on, and I had a mani/pedi along with an eyebrow wax. Although the chairs are older, they are very comfortable. The separate footbath was nicely decorated with thin fruit slices. Both women working were very pleasant with the right balance of conversation and quiet. We've tried 4 places since moving here, and I think we finally found a place we will go back to. Super fast service too. Recommend calling ahead to avoid wait. read more

I would give 6 stars if I could! I just moved. And, along with the hassle of moving, comes the need to find a new nail salon. I found this place on my second try. Top 5 reasons to go to High 5! 1. It's not only very nicely decorated, it's clean. Really clean. 2. Tracy is about as much a stickler for perfection in a manicure as I am. Right now, I'm doing gel manicures, and the result is always perfect! 3. They use tubs for the foot bath, so no need about worrying to pick up something from the jets in pedi chairs (see *clean* in #1) 4. Excellent, long massage with both manicure and pedicure 5. They are all friendly and welcoming If you're looking for a new salon, try High 5! read more
