    Best highlights in the Bay Area!
    Olya A.

    Mariya is a true blonde whisperer! Best highlights I have had in the last 10 years, not exaggerating. She does not overfry the hair and leaves no trace of brass. Plus she gave some great tips about blonde products that extend the life of highlights and don't cost a fortune. Highly recommend!

    If I could give this place zero stars, I would. Short version: DO NOT GO HERE. Long version: I saw this ad on Groupon with Vadim Safyan for a haircut, deep condition treatment, and blow-out style. I called him to make an appointment and he told me not to purchase the Groupon but to pay him in cash. I said fine, and agreed to meet with him. He booked my appointment at the same time as my cousin actually, so when I came in on time for my 2pm appointment, no one greeted me, and I had to go up to him to tell him who I was. He argued for about 10 minutes over my cousin's hair and refused to color it. Instead he told her he would do highlights. That should have been a red-flag right there but we still gave him a chance. She showed him a picture of what she wanted, accenting the gold tones on her nice brunette hair. She explained how it should blend and flow naturally into her hair, and not be a streaky, yellow look. He argued some more until he began working on it. He made her fold and hold the foil, and when she commented that no hair stylist has ever made her do that, he just said Americans are lazy and yelled at her to just do it. My cousin's initial lustrous hair turned out to be yellow and streaky when he washed out the product, and it looked like a bumble bee. It was horrific to see her hair turn out exactly how she told him she did NOT want it to look. He went over to another person in the salon and asked her for her opinion on which color he should use for her toner. He then used that toner on her, washed and blow dried.....to the same yellow, streaky look. When it came to my turn, I came in asking for a simple 1/2 inch trim where we keep the length and layers, but cut off a little bit of the dead-ends. I asked him for a simple straight line in the back with a touch up on my even layers, and told him I don't like the v-shape. He argued about this but finally agreed to start my hair. He washed my hair with burning hot water and coughed all over my face during the process-- I wish I was making this up-- and then began to towel dry my hair. I asked him if he was going to deep condition it and he said he didn't understand why everyone wanted a deep conditioning treatment....I said it was in his ad, and he said fine, and put regular conditioner in my hair. He walked away for a minute (I watched my clock) and came back to wash it out. This is NOT how long deep conditioner is supposed to be in your hair for. When it finally came to cutting my hair, he boasted about his methods compared to other hair stylists and then blow dried it on the highest heat setting with the blow drier literally on my scalp and hair with steam flowing out. My hair came out completely uneven and had several inches taken off. The left side was significantly shorter than the right side, and even had random pieces that were still the old length. I told him nicely not to touch my hair anymore, and went to look at my hair in another mirror. He followed me with his scissors and tried to cut more pieces, but I firmly told him not to, and he eventually left me alone and went back to continue work on my cousin. Three and a half hours later...Nightmare experience. Save yourself the trouble and don't go here.

    Loved my haircut by Vadim! He was friendly, helpful and professional. So happy I was able to get a cut only a week before my vacation on such a short notice.

    You clearly see NO extensions no volume no length

    I had the best experience getting my short gel builder mani and pedicure! The service was clean,…read moreprofessional, and so relaxing. My nails came out flawless. Personally, since I have small nail beds the shape is perfect, the polish is smooth, and the builder gel feels strong without being too thick. The pedicure was just as amazing, super thorough and left my feet feeling brand new. Both of my technicians (Andy, Anna) took their time, paid attention to detail, and made sure I loved the final look. I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

    I left my appointment feeling really frustrated. I came in for a gel manicure, which ended up…read moretaking a little over 1 hour and 30 minutes, and unfortunately the end result did not feel worth the time. Several of my nails are lopsided and uneven, and toward the end of the appointment I honestly just wanted to leave. The cuticle clipping was very aggressive, I felt stinging afterward, which shouldn't happen. A large portion of the service (the last 30-35 minutes) was spent filing and clipping, which was frustrating because these issues could have been addressed properly from the beginning. When it came to the color, I could tell early on that it wasn't going the way I wanted. Each time I tried to look between coats, I was rushed to put my hand under the light and told to check after. I ultimately had to ask for a third coat because there were still visible patchy areas. It was clear she didn't like this. Otherwise, she would have gone straight to top coat with the uneven color still visible. The application itself felt sloppy. There are visible gaps between my nail bed and where the polish starts, making the manicure look grown out already. On my pinky, there were also gaps along the sides. When I pointed this out, she started to aggressively file and remove, starting to take off the polish entirely and even moving on to another nail. At that point, it had already been over an hour and 20 minutes and I needed to leave, so I had to stop her and explain that wasn't what I was asking for. She then began mumbling to herself, which added to the uncomfortable experience. I do give her credit for trying to fix the issues, but by that point we were far too gone, and the overall experience felt rushed (but drawn out for not reason) and uncomfortable.

That said, I absolutely love this place! The quality of the products is excellent, the ambiance is lovely, and their equipment is top-notch. The staff are amazing so friendly and professional, and they know me by name now. I often got special designs on my nails, and they always nailed it. I even grew my real nails really long, and they constantly helped maintain them, patching and fixing broken nails so I didn't have to cut them. I've recently gone back to acrylics, but I just want to say these ladies are incredible. They actually clean your cuticles properly, and they're even great at handling ingrown toenails. But the cuticles work is great which, as a Brazilian girl, is a massive deal since so many places don't do it right. I love coming here and will continue to do so as long as I can. Thank you, girls, for being amazing!

It's a family run business and that warmth shows in everything they do. Jason is my nail tech and he is absolutely amazing. His attention to detail is next level and he consistently delivers beautiful clean long-lasting work. I bring in inspiration photos or ideas and he always executes them perfectly sometimes even better than I imagined. My nails are always shaped flawlessly and I get nonstop compliments every single time. What really sets this place apart is the atmosphere. Every employee is kind friendly and professional and you can tell they genuinely enjoy working together. It creates such a happy relaxing environment which is rare to find. I never feel rushed and I always leave feeling calm and taken care of. I also love that this is a place my whole family enjoys.

If you're looking for a nail salon that is consistent talented welcoming and truly cares about their clients this is it. I'm so grateful I found this place and I'll be a loyal client for life.
