I have been going to this salon for years and have always been very pleased. All the women are nice, engaging, professional and I have been very happy with all of my manicures and pedicures and their massages are great too! Thank you Tiffany and everyone there! One of the few places open during covid with outside service. They, like so many other businesses suffered during this time, so I will always support them. read more

Best pedicure I've had since I moved here from Orangevale. Shop is immaculate clean and the salon crew are amazing ladies. In Oct 2025 I came here for a pedicure and mini mani however it was on a Monday and they are closed Sunday and Monday so I went somewhere else and it was a big mistake bc the pedicure and mini mani were so inferior compared to the ladies at La Rose. Ladies treat yourself to this shop and relax once you are in the chair. Easy to relax and nap inside if you want. It's that type of atmosphere and vibe. Love this place and I'll never go anywhere else again unless I move out of the area and it's not anticipated. Thank you so much La Rose for doing a wonderful job.........b read more

I've been to La Rose a few times now and it is by far my favorite nail salon in the area. The staff is incredibly attentive and detailed in their work with shaping my nails and polish application, and most importantly of all, they are GENTLE. I've been to so many nail spas in the past where that hasn't been the case to where I stopped going to them completely... Until La Rose! Interior is very clean as well with new chairs and a ton of options for polish and treatments read more

La Rose Nail Spa - Gel manicure with one acrylic nail on my index finger to fix broken nail - Nail Salons Near Me - San Rafael, California

Not very sanitary if that's important to you. Mediocre work. I even decided to give them a second chance, but was unfortunately equally unhappy the second time. Lumpy fill, sloppy polish. read more

I came to this nail spa two years ago as I dog sit for my brother. I have decided to return for my nails to be done again. I loved that the nails didn't have to be made super long as I can't function when they are longer. so will do acrylic gel again short. works for me. read more

I found them rude and aggressive. Got a regular manicure, when she finished polishing she got up and walked away, no "wait for _ long..." or "go to the dryers." After waiting a while I did smudge my nail and asked if she could fix it. What then occurred is them yelling at me and claiming I should have been where the dryers were and more yelling at me wrongfully saying that I didnt want to be where the dryers were. Ive never been here before, so cant second guess what they expected or didnt expect, but certainly should not have yelled at me and been so rude. Never go here again. read more

After years of coming here I've never had a bad experience *ever* at La Rose. Tiffany and her sisters are the best! Never rushed, they are always thorough and do such a good job. I recently started getting the Gel Ex instead of acrylics and they are beautiful! My daughters now get them read more

The best! I had a terrible experience at another salon (cough, northgate fingers and toes, cough) and ended up needing an appointment right away for an acrylic fill. They took me no problem and did an incredible job, for a fraction of what I would have been charged at that other place. They're friendly, clean and don't make you feel like you're being rushed out. The owner (I can't remember her name but she's great!) greeted me by name and is so lovely. Check out my pic - my nails look awesome! read more

Have to be honest. Was so happy to find La Rose because I like the accupressure place next door.

Maybe I'd try again but not happy with the resultant read more

My favorite nail spa in Marin County! They know what to do, so don't tell them what to do, or they may lunge forward and clip a nail too deep. These ladies are nothing to play with read more

Great staff, friendly owner. Open on Sundays, which is hard to find in Marin; however, they're closed on Mondays instead. Always a stellar job on my mani/pedi. They don't try to upsell with rose petals in bath salt, etc. Most places do that and before you know it, you're spending over $80-$100 for something that's plain, and you're definitely not leaving smelling like roses. I like to pamper myself every now and then ~ treat yo self! Comfy massage chairs, simple ambiance, nothing fancy. They do a great job every time. read more

Wonderful clean non-smelly environment. You get greeted immediately and they have the best customer service. Hands down the best in Marin! read more

Amazing quality of work in a clean, spacious salon. I highly recommend their gel manicures. If you feel like treating yourself, try one of their specialty pedicures. read more

I can't even begin to tell you how FUN this indulgence has become for me. This is a Mom, and Mom, and Mom shop, where these sisters make you feel like you're listening in on girl's night! OK, you may think it doesn't sound like a guy-thing to do, but their friendliness is a delight. Everything here is done with cleanliness as their top priority! Every foot bath is done in disposable plastic and the materials they employ are all "one-time use". I feel so fresh and clean every time I come out of La Rose that I am at once happy and uplifted! That's how good it feels for me, especially as a guy who has never been prone to pampering himself. Treat yourself to something wonderful! The Mani-Pedi combo makes you feel brand new, all for 30-someting bucks, plus tip! You'll be transformed! read more

La Rose Nail Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - San Rafael, California

what a disappointing experience. I was given a gift card for a mani- pedi, I walked in and instead of even saying hello, a woman barked at me to "pick a color". I smiled, said hello anyways and she didn't respond. I felt as if I was putting her out by having an appointment at her salon! the woman who did my pedicure did a crummy job. So little care in doing a good job. The manicure was fine, but again she seemed annoyed with having to do my nails! What a miserable crew ! read more

I called and made an appointment at this local business off of 4th street in San Rafael. I love my nails and I met Tiffany the owner. She was super sweet and talented, can't wait to go back and get a spa manicure and pedicure. I love my nails. read more

La Rose Nail Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - San Rafael, California

Sometimes you just have to spoil yourself! Even an hour at La Rose is a treat. Someone (I won't mention Alex's name) has been trying for years to cajole me into taking a mini-vacation just blocks from the house. He won me over the first time with a gift certificate. How could I refuse? So I stowed my excess testosterone and came here. As soon as you walk in you are greeted by a group cheer. I felt like I was among friends. I noticed right away how clean the place smelled... fresh, not that chemical smell of some other salons. The big comfortable chairs are spotless and new. The staff used all the protective measures that make for a sterile treatment. Those are the kinds of things that I notice, and that made me more comfortable. The woman who did the mani/pedi was focussed, professional, and gentle. I was able to relax and enjoy the care and technique. When she was all down I saw that an hour had gone by and I felt renewed. I think I'll make it a regular thing. read more

La Rose is the very best. I've been a customer for 10+ years, weekly or bi-weekly and I love it & I love them. Their work is very very good, massages are great & they are just fun to be with. If something doesn't work out for some unusual reason, they will make it right. Just let them know in a nice way. It's never happened to me but you know, stuff happens. read more

FINALLY IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME! These women are simply customer service superstars****! It seemed nearly impossible to find someone good and people that take extra care to pay attention to the comfort of their customers. These ladies clearly have thought of everything from cheap flip flops, to special protective UV gloves while curing gel nails, all the new colors of OPI, lotion on the tips of your fingers do the glue won't stick, and they are friendly. Not superficially friendly but genuine people who welcome you into their place of business and client care is number one. My frustration with other salons has been their annoyed reactions if you're a few minutes late when you sit there waiting for them over 15 minutes and then they rush your job to catch up and huff when you have a request to trim an extra cuticle. Above all, they are so reasonably priced. I would gladly pay more for what they offer and price is never the only concern, it always how well you're treated and LaRose treated us very well!!! While we were in there, 4 different regulars of ten years or more came in and everyone's nails and toes looked amazing! Highly highly recommend. They are located on Miracle Mile just next to TJ's crossfit. My daughter loves her nails she is more than obsessed they cleaned it up really Nicely I want to come here all the time says my daughter. read more

I have been coming here to see these ladies for a few years now. Tiffany has the most amazing customer service! She makes you feel looked after and her personalization is the best. You really feel valued as a customer here. Literally I can call and say, "Hi Tiffany, It's Beth! I'd love to make an appointment." Being a customer here you really feel like you're a part of a big family. My mani and pedi always hold up for the 2 weeks that I put between appointments. My eyebrows have never looked better. Tiffany is the only person that I let near my brows. I can't recommend this nail spa enough. read more

Covid safe and great nail salon! did a great job and I'm very happy. Got a great manicure, pedicure in a safe, calm environment.

They're open & you should go! The sweet women make it a calming & lovely time. My feet & legs feel amazing after the almond butter pedicure. In all this craziness, this was a treat! read more

I have been going to La Rose since I moved into the neighborhood 2 years ago. I felt the staff was friendly enough and the quality of the manicures was good. After my most recent experience, I will never go back. I recently went in for my regular mani/pedi and was picking out a color. After sampling a few colors, I attempted to open another bottle. After applying a little pressure (not much!), the bottle shattered in my hand leaving me with a rather large gash. I didn;t notice it at the time but my injury was deep enough to require stiches. The gal reluctantly assisted me and had an attitude to boot,. Never once was I asked if I was OK. The other customers in the salon at the time were very kind and asked me about my hand. Tiffany repeatedly told me that she's never seen this happen before. I hadn't either. She also told me that I should have asked her to open the bottle. I've had trouble in the past with opening bottles and have always asked the girls to help. This bottle was not difficult to open! I chalk it up to a freak accident. I proceeded to get a manicure & pedicure with my hand wrapped up. After the mani/pedi, Tiffany told me that this accident was my fault. Really!? I wasn;t playing the blame game. She would have been better off not saying a word. A little kindness goes a long way. If it were my salon, I would have asked my client if she was ok and apologized, whether or not it was the salon's fault. I also would have comped her mani/pedi as a good-will gesture. This is just basic customer service. Tiffany never apologized and , to add insult to injury (no pun intended!), asked me how I was going to pay for the mani/pedi. By this time, I was so shocked by her reaction and told her she had 2 choices. They could comp the mani/pedi and I would return or I would pay and never return. I won't be back...... read more

Hard to rate because your experience will vary depending on who does your nails. I've had a great manicure from here and one of my absolute worst. The best was from the owner. Perfectly shaped, perfectly polished and the manicure lasted two weeks without a chip. (I always wear gloves and try to never submerge my hands in water.) Good, firm massage. The worst was where the manicurist absolutely butchered my nails and I wanted to cry afterwards. Awful filing, crooked nails, bloody cuticles, rough cutting of cuticles, the polish around the nail bed started to lift after a few hours, nail polish was applied unevenly and not on the entire nail bed. Rushed, lame massage. My 8 year old daughter probably could have done a better job. So there you have it. I will probably continue to come here occasionally because it is conveniently located and the pricing is reasonable but I am always on the lookout for a better place. read more

This is a great little place! The woman at the front who handles scheduling gives an amazing pedicure. However, the woman I got a manicure from didn't do the most amazing job. She made it feel rushed and like she wanted to get it over with when there were no other people waiting to get their nails done. In terms of cleanliness I came in after another woman who was receiving a mani/pedi as well. They used an electric foot file to get rid of her caluses on her feet. It was plugged in to the wall across from the pedicure chairs. After they used it they left it sitting there on the ground for almost 20 minutes. Also, after she left the woman who did my manicure went to clean the woman's foot bath. She didn't use any disinfectant or let it soak for any amount of time, which is state board regulated. She simply took a scrub brush with soap and did a light scrub, washed it off with water, then put the scrub brush back in the washing sink. Over all, my nails look good, but it wasn't my favorite experience. Plus, it was dead silent except for the radio going in the background. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this place to anyone unless it was just for the woman at the front to do your nails. read more

Our little neighborhood, San Rafael's West End, is fortunate to have La Rose Nail Spa located in it's midst. When I moved here, one year ago, I began asking around for nail spa referrals and kept getting the same name, La Rose. So, I decided to try them out and was happily surprised that I did! Not only are all the people there very friendly and professional, but the salon is always spotless and the services are first class! I am very much looking forward to their reopening! read more

These ladies who works here are really nice! This place is extremely sanitized, they make you feel like you're at home. They are so gentle with their work and it is really relaxing. A great spot to spend the day with your girls. Wide range of nail polish and it does not smell as compare to other salon, I guess they use the highest quality polish ever. And it does not chip within a day or two. At first I was kind of scared to get my eyebrow waxed but I gave it a try since Tiffany did a great job with my nails. They are always willing to squeeze in a last minute appointment :) Will be coming back here again for their other services. read more

Came to this place based on the yelp reviews. Its so hard to find a good mani/pedi place in San Rafael! I didn't think it would be so hard...this is Marin we're talking about.... Its kind of rinky-dink looking from the front but it seems pretty clean on the inside. I never really understood the use of the neon signs outside, they remind me of cheap strip clubs. Anyway, the ladies were nice enough, they got me in with only an hour's notice. They have massage chairs and an ok selection of magazines. I didn't feel overly welcome, but I guess thats ok because I don't really like to talk while I am getting my mani/pedi anyway. The foot and arm massage was not long enough even though I was they ONLY one in the shop. But, they didn't get mad at me when I ruined my thumb nail right after they finished, opps! But the polish is already chipping and I was just there 2 days ago! Ugh. Good price though, only $30 for mani/pedi combo. read more

Okay, I love the ladies of La Rose Nail Spa. In my experience, there's no better place for a mani/pedi. First, the staff is super detail-oriented. Got a chip on an obscure toenail? They'll fix it & trim all of the other nails so they all look alike-- not a wobbly, off-kilter nail out of the ten. Most inexpensive salons can't claim this at all; they usually seem oblivious to the fact that one might want to view one's feet & see uniformity of nail length & shape. Second, these people are so NICE! They actually seem glad when I come in there, not biding time. They don't usually talk much, but their silence doesn't seem to the disinterested kind, if you get what I mean. Once I'd been there a couple of times, they remembered my personal preferences. Sometimes I try to learn how to correctly pronounce the names of Vietnamese food from them, and we all get a good chuckle out of how horrible I am at saying even the monosyllabic words like "mi" & "pho." Third, this is a family business. The kid who sometimes answers the phone? A Son (or, less frequently, a daughter). All of the manicurists? Sisters and cousins. I love that. Fourth and as mentioned in other reviews, this salon is very clean and well-maintained. So many inexpensive nail salons are a little scary, and this place isn't at all. It's well-lit, bright, and tidy. No weird dust bunnies on the floor, no scary bathroom. Finally, their charge of $30 for a manicure/pedicure combo is great for someone like me, who can't afford a $60 pedicure and a $40 manicure. I think this place is a real deal at $30. read more

Love my biweekly pedicures. This place is owned by 3 sisters and they are all great at what they do.

Best manicure and pedicure. Good service and on time appointments. They always make sure everything is as good as can be even when it's busy. I've been a customer for a year now and keep coming back. Love my gel manicure!! read more

This is the best nail place I've found so far in Marin! Very friendly staff, who are genuinely interested in making your visit a relaxing and enjoyable experience. I went for a standard mani/pedi, which was great! All tools are sanitized, and you even get warm towels for your feet and hands. They have many amazing sounding spa mani/pedi packages too, plus the prices are pretty low for what you get! ***This is another review I have to update because I have become a loyal customer. They remember me when I return, even when it's been a while between visits. This place is simple, clean and doesn't smell like a nail salon. It's a great family business, and the polish lasts for a long time! read more

I love everything about this place. I got a gel set with an American manicure that was impeccable. No bubbles even though I bite my nails really short which makes for a difficult application for the manicurist. Just today, my mom and I treated ourselves to the Zen Harmony pedicure. All in all, my experiences here have always been pleasant. The facility is clean and the ladies are friendly. read more

I was overdue for a much needed pedicure and went to my previous nail salon in San Rafael. Fortunately for me, it was closed so I decided to try La Rose Nail Shop on a whim.
