    Decided to walk in with my partner. The front desk gave us a 30 minute estimate wait which went by so quickly as we enjoyed our small bites from across the shop. Once the 30 minutes passed by, we checked in and they sat us down within 2 minutes. We got pedis and all of my toes have not chipped yet. It's been almost a whole month! Can't wait to come back soon! Thank you Marlowe for accomdating us last minute!

    Got a gel manicure and regular Pedi today. Nail technician was friendly. I enjoyed the experience. However, when I got home I noticed how unevenly my nails were painted. Seems like a pretty sloppy job especially for the price. Disappointing. Probably won't return.

    I've come here quite a few times and have left happy because of the service and staff here. I'm leaving a review this time because I had such a great experience getting my nails done here for my wedding. A couple weeks in advance I requested a specific art style for my nails. The artist Elle practiced multiple times before my appointment, and she did a great job replicating the requested style! I truly appreciate how much effort she put into it because I love how they look. I just wish my nails grew a little longer before this appointment to do her artwork justice.

    Had a great experience here getting my nails done for my wedding with my bridesmaids. Nguyet did a wonderful job on my rainbow nails, thank you so much!

    Sides of gel look crusty :(

    First of all, let me say I love Marlowe! The staff was super friendly and accommodating! The higher price points reflect giving their employees a living wage, 401k, health benefits, etc. SO awesome and definitely how all salons should be run! From my visit, they seem to be taking all the necessary covid precautions. Appointment only, barriers between guests and employees, immediately cleaning up stations, virtual payment, and everyone must wear a mask! :) However, I do unfortunately have to knock a few stars off. The quality sadly doesn't compare to cheaper priced salons I've gone to over the years. Within a week my gel nails started to look crusty on the sides and lift up and away from the nail, resulting in some to peel and crack off. :( My regular toe polish also has a melted look to it. I'm assuming the second coat of polish didn't go all the way down to the base of the nail by the looks of it. Such a bummer! Because of this I unfortunately chose to cancel my future appointments as going back and spending almost $200 every visit doesn't feel worth it. Still love the business model though! And had a pleasant experience! :)

    Re-do of chrome gel manicure in blue. Just after the service.

    Shortly after my last post, Marlowe reached out to offer a complimentary re-do of my gel chrome nails that had chipped and peeled in under two weeks. My nail tech, Anne, did a nice job shaping my nails and applying the blue chrome. I'm hopeful these nails will last as long as my gel manicures usually do, 3-4 weeks!

    We were given gift certificates and decided to treat ourselves. This is probably the nicest nail salon I have been too. They offered use drinks and I got a mint tea. The lady who did my nails was pretty quick compared to my two other friends. Everything was clean and sanitary and the vibes were nice. Would definitely come back again or gift it to a friend.

    Cut on the right side and the base of the nail bed.

    Brought my daughter here for a birthday manicure, and decided to get a gel manicure as well. The manicurist made me bleed not once but TWICE. I paid $95 (including tip, which I'm honestly not sure why I paid) for just my manicure. Nearly a hundred dollars to be cut twice. The gel manicure is fine, but it's definitely not the best I've had. I appreciate that this place pays its employees a living wage, offers healthcare and a 401k, which everyone deserves. But for $95, I deserve a STELLAR manicure and to leave with my fingers intact. Posting a photo of my cut thumb, which doesn't look like much now since I've cleaned it, but still hurts like hell.

That said, expect to be "squeezed in," cause I had to wait about 30-40 mins after arriving to actually be seen. But, still appreciated them taking me. I came in for a gel manicure on my natural nails, but 1 finger was chipped. I asked if they could do a single extension, they recommended to use builder gel instead. At first, it looked fine, but after it cured, it was noticeably thick and not shaped very well. As a result this one fell off after a week. I also tried to point out that the shaping on my nails looked inconsistent from one finger to the next. The technician told me it was just because my finger widths are different & it's impossible to make them look the same. I understand that natural nails are harder to make uniform (compared to extensions), but I was disappointed with the lack of effort. The gel manicure itself was okay. I got a pink color with chrome powder, it lasted about two weeks. Overall, for around $50, I feel like you get what you pay for. It wasn't a terrible experience, but the attention to detail, especially with the shaping and the builder gel, was lacking. The service was friendly though, and you get a stamp card for every visit.

Most places don't really do that anymore, so it's one of the highlights, and reminds of Jaydn Taylor in Alameda back in the days.

Both times, my friends didn't have issues looking for parking, so this is a plus. The first time we came, we had lunch around the area and asked if they can accommodate us.

Both times, the technician was ready for us and were very welcoming. The place is pretty clean and and relaxing, as I found it surprising that you aren't overpowered by the smell of nail polish. Huge bonus for that! My friends and I did all get a manicure and pedicure. Joy ended up being my technician and gave me some suggestions on what color nails I should do, since I wanted to match my outfit (if you know me you know me). Joy is actually a great tech, she's very patient and didn't rush the process. Joy sparked joy for me when she recommended the scrub. It wasn't just any scrub, it was a coffee scrub. I love the smell of coffee and this literally made my weekend. My feet felt so amazing afterwards and my nails looked so cute! My friends and I will definitely be back here the next time we in the area. And a special shoutout to Joy again for making my weekend perfect!
