    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

    I treated my wife to a pedicure at Marlowe in Larkspur over the holidays. She said it was one of the best pedicure experiences she's had in the Bay Area. The area they brought her to for the pedicure was super clean and everyone working there were friendly, especially the person worked with her. My wife's already scheduled her next visit there. Couldn't have been a better gift to make her day.

    This is the second time my nails have been bubbly after a manicure here. The place is super nice and clean / has great products but you'd think for the price, the manicure would be much better. They offered to redo them which was nice, but I find the quality surprising.

    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...

    Salon is also clean and pretty. We'll definitely be back, highly recommend! Everyone was super nice…read morebut there was this one young girl, pretty sure she was the manager, who was amazing with my daughter. Like genuinely so sweet and patient with her the whole time and help her picked out the colors.

    Really great spot. I usually get my nails done in Corte Madera, but wasn't able to get in on the…read moreday that I needed to get my nails done. Was able to get same-day appointments and was in and out in a relatively decent amount of time. The ladies working seemed nice and friendly. There were a couple bizarre interactions between the front desk, woman and the woman doing my nails. It seemed as little as they were annoyed with one another. Regardless, my nails are a 10 out of 10 and so is my gel pedi. She did a great job. They have great color options as well and do nail art, etc for those looking to take things to a different level :) My 1 piece of constructive criticism is that they don't do a foot or hand massage which was pretty annoying and surprising to me. It's also not cheap so make sure you understand the pricing before you go. I also do not recommend taking kids here as I learned the hard way they charge $70 for kid mani/pedi with only polish on their toes and also no massage The kids definitely won't be back however I likely will be for my nails assuming they hold up over the next month or so. Will report back
