I cannot recommend Ivy Nails enough. Ivy is the owner and nail tech, and she is incredibly detail-oriented and meticulous. You can tell she truly cares about her work and her clients. She does an amazing job recreating designs and has an impressive selection of colors and add-ons like chrome, gems, stickers, and dried flowers. Everything she does feels thoughtfully done and high quality. What really sets her apart is how well the nails last--mine always stay glossy and beautiful until it's time for a fill. If you're looking for consistency, creativity, and top-tier nail work, Ivy is it. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

The owner was very responsive and customer service oriented. She got me in last minute for 2 pedicures and remembered my name when I came! The pedicures look great and were efficient without being rushed. Definitely recommend. read more

Did not feel as clean as I would like for a nail place. Dust everywhere and surfaces looked dirty.

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 :( read more

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! read more

So many colors to choose from! I drove all the way down from sf and will continue to come here read more

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. read more

This place may seem nice, but use any other word to describe it. The nails were overpriced only for a refill, $95, and the color was not what I asked for. If you have the chance, go ANYWHERE else. read more

Newly open! My friend and I made an appointment on the same day for dip manicures and had a great experience here! Absolutely love the color selection and will probably try something more adventurous next time. Chose a neutral color for my first time. They did a phenomenal job shaping my nails.

I reviewed Ivy's nails in 2021 and I still am a loyal customer including my husband! They recently moved location from Portola Valley to Menlo Park on Alameda de las Pulgas due to an unscrupulous landlord in Portola Valley. But their new location is great, much bigger, more natural light and parking is easy. They are across the street from Luttickens deli. Ivy, the owner and her employees are so good at what they do, so friendly and go out of their way to ensure that you are satisfied with their services. They have an enormous amount of colors to pick from (acrylic, gel, dip). HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! read more

I recently moved to the area and have been looking around for a nail salon for many months. I am so delighted to have finally found Ivy's! I got a manicure and a pedicure, and both are immaculate. Ivy was very easy to work with, super communicable, and was willing to make adjustments as we went so that I could have exactly what I wanted. I felt very comfortable communicating with her and her team and was very grateful for how easy she made it to have an excellent experience. Her team is also super cute and they got along really well, laughing and chatting in a very welcoming and inclusive way. Thumbs all up! I am excited to not only recommend them to everybody, but to go back whenever I need my nails done. Thank you so much! read more

Go here if you're desperate; rushed job, noisy workers who kept chatting, messy setup with no sight of disinfected tools in small sealed bags. One tech painted one thick layer on my nails instead of two coats. It was a sloppy work. read more
