    Gel manicure with perfect match nail product

    I've been coming to this nail salon since 2019 . The service is always amazing and the best prices in the bay. Vivían Karen and Vanessa are so accommodating to my needs! My gel manicure and pedicure last up to 3 weeks! Unlike other places I've been.

    Just beautiful
    Miriam R.

    After a glitch on my previous set, Vivien came to the rescue with this beautiful set. Thanks Vivien for keeping costumers satisfied, happy and rocking amazing art in our nails. That's why this place is my go-to spot in Downtown San Mateo.

    A very damaged nail

    Came in for a dip manicure. She filed my nails down so low that they were weaker than weak. She wanted to give me a gel manicure instead of the dip that I wanted (probably because of how she damaged my nails )A few of my nails are broken or should I split say split down my nail in the middle of my finger. I asked to pay for what they've done so far and I got up and walked out I do not recommend

    Classic Lash extensions with the cat eye style! And my natural lashes are very thin so this result is impressive!
    Tiffany B.

    I've had mani pedis done here on several occasions, but I finally asked about the lash extensions they had on a poster in the shop. I'm so glad I did! I came in with my natural lashes in fairly bad shape -- sparse and damaged due to improper removal of some extensions I'd had done somewhere else, previously. I'm super happy with the volume she was able to give me, despite minimal surface lashes to attach to.

    Botched toe nail.

    ABSOLUTELY NOT i cant do anything but laugh at this point because it is that bad. I had long beautiful toe nails previously and came in, asked her NOT to cut it please just shape it square.............maam?? What shape is this and WHY IS IT SO SMALL!? I am so unbelievably sad and couldn't believe they thought this was acceptable. I was going to get a manicure as well but once i saw my toes i said immediately no, so i went somewhere else for my fingers. I don't even know what to say about this besides obviously will never be going back!

    Halloween French Manicure with jell.
    Karen G.

    Just took my girls out to get their nails done for Halloween. In Style Nail Salon in San Mateo always does such a beautiful job. Thanks again. I did want to make a comment about some of the other reviews that I have read here.... I noticed they have mentioned that the jell nails did not last. If you have your hands in water often or use hand lotion, it is best to wear rubber gloves while doing dishes and do not leave your nails moist for extended amounts of time. If you are using lotions, be sure to wash and dry the tips of your nails after applying. Jell polish should last 2 to 3 weeks if you care for them properly. Best regards.

    After shaping my nails and cutting the excess cuticle.

Following all the stellar reviews this company has already received, I was excited to come. I was scheduled with Wendy for my appointment, and the experience exceeded my expectations. Wendy was welcoming and very friendly, which made our first meet smooth and more comfortable for me! The room was very clean, and ready for me the moment I walked in and walked out! She took care of my , made sure to clean and protect my skin, educated me more on a good look for my eyebrow shape (bc I've had a lot of trust issues with my eyebrows), and maintained a hygienic workspace. She also has great music taste LOL Choosing Wendy was the best decision I've made!! A very sweet lady, I absolutely adore her!!

From the…read moremoment I walked in, the space felt clean, private, and calm -- which matters a LOT for a service like this. Wendy is the kind of person who makes you feel comfortable immediately. She's warm, professional, and super efficient without ever feeling rushed. She checks in with you throughout, has a gentle technique, and you can tell she has years of experience. The Brazilian itself was way more manageable than past places I've been -- and I had minimal irritation after, which is a huge win for my sensitive skin. Also: she's thorough. Like... she cares about the details and it shows. I left feeling smooth, clean, and genuinely taken care of (not like I was just another appointment being pushed through). If you're new to waxing, nervous, or picky about who you trust -- book Wendy. This is 100% my new go-to spot.
