    Nails by Ivy
    Brandy N.

    Ivy and her team of gals never disappoint. If you are looking for the perfect polish time after time this is the place. I have long natural nails that are absolutely thriving with Ivys help. I requested a difficult design this time that I saw online and it turned out even better than the source image. Super happy and already planning my next polish.

    Ivy is a true artist, and all the other ladies here are excellent as well! The attention to detail is amazing, appointments are always efficient, and the customer service is top-notch. Highly recommend!

    $80 for this basic set is crazy

    I paid $160 for a gel pedicure and a basic dip manicure (no design), which felt really overpriced. I originally asked for a basic pedicure, but the tech kept pushing the deluxe -- she asked me multiple times and ended up switching the prices on me without being upfront. When I got home, I even noticed nail polish left on my feet, which was disappointing after paying so much. The salon itself is nice, very clean and pretty, but unfortunately, I wouldn't come back due to the lack of transparency and attention to detail.

    I've been going to Ivy's for years and have never had a bad experience or bad manicure. Trust me, I'm PICKY when it comes to my nails. Ivy and Gina are true artists. Beautifully shaped nails every time!

    gel mani

    This place is convenient, but I felt very rushed when I was there. My gel mani chipped within 3 days and this is how it looks 6 days later. Also my nails were rough at the ends when I left, and felt jagged :(

    Love my nails they did a great job and staff were super sweet towards me and my mom. Service was amazing

    Did a walk in around 11am and they helped me right away. Had a pedicure with Lindsey and she was amazing, so sweet and took her time. I very much enjoyed the ambiance. They had very calm and zen music going on in the background. A little pricey but I think it's worth it. Right next door to a pilates studio as well. Will definitely come back to Lindsey!

    Amazing gel nails by Gina. Very nice, great technique, turned out similar to reference photo.

    I did dipped nails and it feels so much nicer and it's healthier for my nail beds.

    Ivy did such a great job with my nails and she was so nice to me too. I did dipped powder nails and it didn't hurt at all and it feels so much nicer on my nails. Hope to come back soon!

    I was dismayed to learn today that Ivy's Nails is under threat. In 2019, the business was purchased outright in a verbal agreement, with no date of expiry mentioned. Now the seller is having cold feet and instructing the team to vacate the premises by December 14th, 2023. This is exactly the sort of greed we do not need more of in the bay area. This predatory behavior is the death of creativity and the ruin of security for hardworking small business owners. None of Dam's utility bills or rent were late and a large payment was made in the interest of running the business as her own. She renovated the interior and replaced all aging equipment and furniture with her own savings. As you can see, Ivy's Nails is retaining customers and receiving overwhelmingly good reviews - of course the seller wants the business back! After my nail tech moved away last year, I was delighted to find Ivy's Nails and start new. They have provided me with several beautiful, long-lasting and creative dip sets this year. They consistently come out looking like new after my workouts and even survived my dark water rafting escapades in New Zealand. I often observe the nail techs here practicing with new colors and talking about techniques they want to try. They are positive, patient and interested - I am a picky client, so this is a big plus! These dedicated artists deserve to be treated with respect and equity, not steamrolled by people they trust. Please be aware and support the incredible business Ivy's Nails has become during a time it matters most. Do you like your nails? Then talk to them - ask how you can be supportive.

    I was recommended by a friend to come here and it blew me away. I haven't gotten my nails done in a year and felt like treating myself. I was able to get a last minute appointment as well which was great! Ivy and her technicians are so friendly and accommodating. I had a regular pedi and a dip nail manicure. So many colors to choose from! I drove all the way down from sf and will continue to come here

    Nails by the amazing Amy!
    Jasmine S.

    Amy @Ivy's Nail is fantastic. She's patient, took her time with my nails and the results turned out better than I could have imagined! I will certainly be coming back and visiting Amy! I just moved to Woodside and have been searching for a new nail salon so I am happy I found this little gem! Plus I love visiting the gift shop in Ladera as well!

I chose any tech to do my nails because I didn't know anyone or their work. My daughter booked Jessica for both her mani/pedi and she was very happy! We were both satisfied with our service. Although, I did notice that all of customers were provided water, but I wasn't (no big deal). I just thought it was odd that I wasn't offered. On the second visit, my daughter was booked with Jessica, but she was wrapping up a pedi. A lady sat her down and went to another tech and told her to provide service to my daughter. About 5m into her mani, Jessica became available but didn't do my daughter's nails. Not sure if Jessica was told, but my daughter didn't to be rude and offend Anna. My daughter had asked for "square-round" but she got square instead. I had Yen (again). She isn't the nicest or possess good customer service for a prime establishment like Dep. She grinded my nail so thin that I felt the warmth and slight pain during the efile removal of the builder gel. She also slighlty nicked my cuticle, but luckily it didn't bleed. Although the salon was busy on our second visit, the crowd quickly disappeared, no water was offered, and the customer service was ok. I still tipped 20% but felt like I should have tipped less for the service. I felt stressed during my session because I was afraid I was going to get hurt in some way, and my daughter didn't get the shape she had requested. It wasn't relaxing at all for either of us. We opted not to get a design because we were already stressing out and unsure of their skills. That being said, I still give them 4 stars because I really want to highlight the esthetics of the salon, the awesome service my daughter received from Jessica, the service I received from Karen (first visit) who was nice and understood what I wanted. We will go back. I feel that we may have found our "go-to" spot for nails. I just wished their service was consistent with each visit.

Before the appointment even started, I made it very clear that I did not want my eyebrows reshaped. I specifically asked for them to only be cleaned up, and the technician assured me she would only touch the bottom of my brows. Despite that conversation, she significantly changed the shape by removing hair from the front of my brows and shortening the tails. My brows looked noticeably thinner and shorter than I requested, and there was no way to fix them before my wedding. On top of that, the brow tint was so light that you could barely tell they had been laminated. My lash lift also wasn't cleaned up properly--I left with adhesive or product still stuck to my lashes. I was hesitant to call and complain, but given that this was for my wedding weekend, I felt I had no choice. Unfortunately, the customer service was just as disappointing. The staff was rude on the phone, and although I was told I would receive a refund, it never happened. I rarely leave negative reviews, but I hope sharing my experience helps others make an informed decision, especially if they're booking services for an important event.

Thank you Meew!

    If I could give negative stars to rate this nail salon quality and management, I would!…read more The first thing that happened after I had been going to Meew for about a year was, I went to checkout after my service one day and noticed that my total was $55 less that day. I asked the receptionist why and she looked at my service history and saw that I had been being over charged for a different service that whole time. When I reached out to the owner Anna to have her review my past services and issue me a credit towards future appointments she kept pushing me off, saying "I will look tomorrow" . As this went on for weeks. I came into the salon and saw her decorating the front door and asked if we could get this sorted and she told me she was busy decorating and would get back to me, continuing to put me off. I ended up taking matters into my own hands and requesting my history from the receptionist and added up the total and told them how much of a credit I have and had to keep a log myself until I was made whole in that situation. I had been going to this very expensive nail salon for almost 2 years. Before I took a nail break due to a fingernail infection that I suspect was caused by this salon. I had several issues with my gel polish peeling off of my nails over the last few months I was going there. Twice I had the gel polish peeling off same day/next day before even taking a shower and when I contacted the salon they were telling me that it had to be something I was doing. I had to go in twice within 72 hours to get my nails fixed. My guess is that the products they are using are no good and not sticking to the nail bed and I have several friends that experience the same thing. (My girlfriend got her nails done before heading to a wedding in Europe and had to attend with no polish on one nail because the whole thing peeled off in one piece. ) I reached out to an old nail tech I previously saw and she recommended which base and top coat to use. I then purchased those products and brought them with me the last time I was in and my polish lasted 2 weeks+ (that was the fix). But after that my nail became infected. I was diagnosed by my primary physician and was prescribed antibiotics to take for a week as well as an antibiotic ointment to use. Not using my best judgement, now that my finger is healed and I have an event coming up I tried to schedule an appointment and planned to bring my own products when I realized that I was blocked from booking. I reached out to the salon and this is what the owner responded to me. Telling me that I'm the blame, saying that I expect my nails to last a month, when my complaint was about my nails not lasting even 24 hours. She is now refusing me as a client and acting as if I have gotten aggressive with her and is threatening legal action. I have also had a friend tell me she had the same experience, they told her they would refund her. Never did, and my friend had to call her bank to get her money back. Over $200 for a manicure that did not last 48 hours. Unacceptable. I will attach screenshots of my conversation with the owner. Also, not registered with BBB.

It was much easier to relax at this place because it doesn't have that bustling feeling I'd experience at other salons. Not overly packed and a calmness from staff.

I pointed out the calluses and he took extra care addressing them until smooth. My only complaint was he ended up cutting/filing one of my big toes too much that it looked close to bleeding (it did break so it was short), and too many coats of the nail polish made it thick. Still an amazing experience and still worth the price. I booked pretty last minute so I didn't get to book some of the staff I see recommended on here. I definitely want to return. P.S. the massage chair here is the best one I've experienced in any salon, AND the salon is right by menlo park's farmers market so it makes for a great little self-care day
