Deborah Lippmann polish -high-quality nail lacquers
Rachel H.

Attractive, modern salon with Marin pricing (quite high!) Marlowe promises an attention to detail not found at other nail salons. But do they deliver? My first experience was mixed, averaging 3.5 stars but generally positive. I got a basic pedicure, "The Marlowe". Pedicures are $60 and up. (They have $110 pedicures, which include special treatments.) Manicures start at $45, and go up from there. I noted pluses, and minuses. The team was friendly & greeted me at the door and the booking & checkout process went smoothly. I did wait ten minutes for a technician to get started. I liked their selection of quality lacquer: Essie, OPI and Deborah Littmann. I didn't see any magazines, & wasn't offered water, things I really appreciate with a spa pedicure. Both the manicure and pedicure rooms are aesthetically beautiful, modern, & clean. The decor is perfection. There are accessibility issues, such as having to balance & climb two stairs without a railing, to get to the pedicure chairs. The chairs are comfortable, but are not massage chairs. They were meticulous with pedicure prep & clean up, taking their time. While nail prep was exacting, attention to detail with polish application was a little less so. The tech left polish on my skin, around several toes. I noticed this & asked that they please clean up & since my original tech was now with another client, they sent a different person to help. She was through. Still, given their attention to detail, that's something you'd hope the team would catch at the time of service, not leave to the client to resolve. After service I received an email offering a gift, a $47 gratis manicure for any 5 star review, with a link to their Yelp listing. I picked this business based on all the 5 star reviews, so mixed feelings after seeing this message on the reliability of the reviews. It made me feel strongly about giving an accurate account of my own experience.

This is by far the cutest nail shop I've been in! Very "Marin". The vibes are so nice and welcoming, everyone has a smile on their face. I will say this nail shop is a tad bit different from my usual nail shop experiences but not in a bad way. It's very cutesy and there are no chemical smells lingering in the air. I will admit the prices are (in my opinion) ridiculously high but what isn't these days right? If you're looking for vibes, ambiance, and don't mind paying this is the place for you. Otherwise, I would come here on special occasions. I initially saw Julie who was amazing and so friendly but I believe any nail tech does a great job. I have returned since my first visit and the experience was the same if not better. Highly recommend this shop to others for a nice warming

This new salon in Larkspur Landing is incredible. Beautifully decorated and comfortable. I love that they have "clean" signs on all of the stations that are open- the focus is on cleanliness here, and it shows. They have all of the best polish options in so many great colors. The pedicure room is separate from the main space, and the chairs were super comfy. Alana was the best nail tech! She was so sweet and did a fantastic job. I can't wait to come back, this is such a great addition to Marin country mart.

Hands down one of the worst manicures I've ever had--and at nearly $100, that's outrageous. The polish was full of bubbles, smeared across my cuticles, and painted unevenly like it was done blindfolded. Beyond sloppy. On top of that, I was billed for a gel removal my client never even received. When I emailed about both the botched manicure and the overcharge, they completely ignored the billing issue and only offered a redo. Months later, when I finally scheduled it (because constant gel removal destroys nails), they suddenly downgraded it to a regular manicure. This is appalling, dishonest, and shows zero respect for customers. If you value your money, your time, & quality, steer clear. Don't be fooled by the cute decor--this place is a scam with no pride in their work.

Ahhhhhhhh.....

The experience I have been craving in Marin. Such a professional, warm and caring environment. Can't wait to go back with my husband. Highly recommend the California mani pedi...

This is a new nail salon for me, you went a few times in February. Plan to go back this week. Each…read moretime I left very happy and satisfied.

I've made appointments and walked in during the week and there's rarely a long wait. Everyone is…read morenice. The whole salon is pleasant to be in (decor and music is great) and they have an army of workers. I like regular gel on my nails, but they offer it all. I'm pretty seasoned at this by now and what I've noticed is that I leave with great looking manicures, but every time I go back, my nails are thinner and weaker. I'm not sure if I'll keep going here because they seem to value time over the health of my nails. Every tech is quick to use the chemical remover that will sting/ burn your skin if it touches you, and takes the gel right off like acid. To make things even faster they'll use the dremmel to sand down the nail and remove any residual polish. This results in thinner, weaker, exposed nails over time. So when that chemical remover is painted on- wow! It hurts. It's cold and painful, and by the time you realize it- too late. I'm growing out my nails and letting them replenish themselves before I go back- which could take months. Why go back at all? Convenience, really. I'll likely ask them to lay off the chemical remover and wrap them instead. As far as polish colors go, they seem to have a lot, but they use a ton of DND. I prefer the longevity of OPI, but they do have some of this as well. They keep your info in their system but don't track your colors- note that detail yourself. I don't know if it's a gel thing, but it bothers me how rough they file my nails. It's never done with a fine grain along the edges. Inevitably I'll start snagging things with the edge of my fingernails and need to file them myself. Would I recommend this place? Yes, for ambiance and time alone. The cost is average to high if you go beyond the basic manicures, but this is Marin. I get better quality for the same, or less, in the city- so I may just start going back there until my nails are healthy again.
