    Ombré pink gel nails
    Jacquelyn H.

    Holly Nails is the best in Marin and I've been everywhere! Go to Van she will take care of you everytime. Fabulous team super friendly and kind always able to squeeze me in with my hectic work schedule. Great experience to just zonk out and get your nails done and enjoy peace and quiet. Bonus perk... Beyond comfortable massage chairs!!

    I love my gals at Holly Nails. Today Van gave me a special design & chose the color for my full set of almond shaped acrylic nails while Ahbe & May made my toes match. All the gals are super sweet & do their best to accommodate everyone; Sandy, Amy & Jenny. Great neighborhood spot!

    I can't believe this salon only has a three-star rating, because in my opinion, they deserve so much more! The nail technicians here are absolutely incredible and work so hard to make every visit memorable. Every time I step into this salon, I'm greeted with warm smiles and a friendly atmosphere. The attention to detail and skill that the nail technicians possess is truly impressive. They take their time to ensure my manicures and pedicures are flawless, and I always leave feeling pampered and happy. The quality of their work is outstanding. My nails look absolutely stunning after each visit. (I posted are some of my nails I've got done at Holly Nails) The precision and creativity they put into every design is beyond compare. Whether I want a classic look or something more trendy, they always deliver exactly what I envision. The salon itself is clean and well-maintained, creating a relaxing environment where I can truly unwind. The staff goes above and beyond to provide excellent customer service, making sure I am comfortable throughout the entire experience. In my opinion, this salon deserves nothing less than a five-star rating. Their dedication, hard work, and talent make them stand out from the rest. I highly recommend this salon to anyone in need of beautiful nails and a delightful experience!

    sloppy pedi
    Sophie H.

    First of all $85 for gel mani & regular pedi is outrageous, but it's Mill Valley so I thought it would be superlative. But... Sloppiest pedi ever, nail shape ragged, polish on my skin. Staff was very nice but didn't make up for feeling like I'd been ripped off.

    Custom nail design by Van, the amazing nail artist at Holly Nails

    I have found the most amazing team of nail technicians at Holly Nails. They are kind and patient and creative. Here are some photos from a recent nail appointment, these are TAP hybrid gel extensions, the custom design was created by the amazing and talented Van! She has been so incredible, I feel lucky to know her and have her work on my nails. She created this custom look from her imagination, she free-hand drew these lines, so straight and perfect on my nails! Van has done anything I have asked, I just bring a photo and she creates it! Thank you so much Van! Come and see her at the salon!

    My nails from Holly nails (gel x)

    I went to get gel x nails, in the beginning the technician didn't do my cuticles, then did a poor job on the rest, the total was $130 for short basic nails, they charged me $40 just for French tips, and an extra $30 for 4 small white stars. I would not recommend, spend your money on somewhere they will put more thought and care into your nails and not act like you are a doll. The nails were too expensive for me and I regret going there for these, and will be going somewhere else next time.

    I went to Holly Nails for my wedding weekend manicure and pedicure and am now a convert. They did SUCH a phenomenal job on my dip set an even created a custom color that matched what I envisioned. I've gone a couple places since for dip and the quality was nowhere near what Holly Nails provides. I'm a big fan and drive from San Rafael bc it is worth it.

    Nicolette S.

    The team is always responsive and professional even when I don't make an appointment. Great operating hours and love their openness to trying new designs. I'm willing to pay a premium for service and quality and get it every time from Holly Nail.

    See all

    I'm very particular about where I get my nails done -- so many places leave your nails clumpy,…read morethick, or chipping within days (especially with natural polish). Nail Motif is the complete opposite. I don't know what magic they use, but my natural polish manicures last a solid week -- sometimes even longer! The quality is unmatched. Beyond the results, the entire experience is just wonderful. The salon is clean, bright, and welcoming, with an amazing polish selection. I never know what color to choose, but the team always steers me right -- they have a great eye and never miss. The foot massages during the pedicures are next-level relaxing, whether you want to chat or just unwind. The Nail Motif ladies are warm, funny, and genuinely care about making every client feel like they're among friends. Even the other customers are kind and friendly -- it's truly just good vibes all around. I live in Corte Madera and have several salons I could walk to, but Nail Motif is 100% worth the drive. My husband loves them too, and it is his birthday treat every year to go get a pedicure there. I've been going to Motif for 2+ years now, and am so grateful I found my new spot :)

    I checked out this newer nail spot recently and had a mixed--but overall interesting--experience…read more First impressions were good: the space was very clean, busy, and well-run. The receptionist was warm, spoke English clearly, and the overall vibe felt more professional and welcoming than some other salons in Marin. They take both cash and Apple Pay, which I appreciated. The appointment itself was fast--almost surprisingly so. I got a very basic acrylic set done in about 40 minutes, whereas this usually takes closer to an hour to an hour and a half. That's both a pro and a con. If you're in a rush and just need something done, this place is efficient. That said, the technician was pretty persistent about upselling (gel, rhinestones, chrome, etc.), and when I declined and asked for something very simple, she seemed a bit irritated. There were also some confusing add-on charges (like an extra fee just for shaping, and then another for polish), which weren't clearly reflected on the sign. In the end, though, the total was still less than what I usually pay at Nails #1, which often creeps up to around $80 after add-ons--so price-wise, this was reasonable. As for the final result: the nails look okay. Not bad, but not super polished either. You can tell they were done quickly--each nail looks slightly different, and the overall finish isn't as refined as what you'd get from a longer, more detailed appointment. It felt more like efficiency over craftsmanship. I did like that I could take a phone call without bothering anyone, and the ambience was calm despite how busy it was. Would I go back? Maybe--if I'm short on time and just need my hands done quickly. But if I want a more meticulous, pampering experience where extra care is taken, I'd probably look elsewhere.

The whole salon is pleasant to be in (decor and music is great) and they have an army of workers. I like regular gel on my nails, but they offer it all. I'm pretty seasoned at this by now and what I've noticed is that I leave with great looking manicures, but every time I go back, my nails are thinner and weaker. I'm not sure if I'll keep going here because they seem to value time over the health of my nails. Every tech is quick to use the chemical remover that will sting/ burn your skin if it touches you, and takes the gel right off like acid. To make things even faster they'll use the dremmel to sand down the nail and remove any residual polish. This results in thinner, weaker, exposed nails over time. So when that chemical remover is painted on- wow! It hurts. It's cold and painful, and by the time you realize it- too late. I'm growing out my nails and letting them replenish themselves before I go back- which could take months. Why go back at all? Convenience, really. I'll likely ask them to lay off the chemical remover and wrap them instead. As far as polish colors go, they seem to have a lot, but they use a ton of DND. I prefer the longevity of OPI, but they do have some of this as well. They keep your info in their system but don't track your colors- note that detail yourself. I don't know if it's a gel thing, but it bothers me how rough they file my nails. It's never done with a fine grain along the edges. Inevitably I'll start snagging things with the edge of my fingernails and need to file them myself. Would I recommend this place? Yes, for ambiance and time alone. The cost is average to high if you go beyond the basic manicures, but this is Marin. I get better quality for the same, or less, in the city- so I may just start going back there until my nails are healthy again.
