This place isn't at all worth the premium pricing. I went here for the first time today. The manicurist was late by 15 minutes for my gel manicure. She then rushed to scratch off my previous gel polish, causing me to bleed in the middle of my nail. (which by the way is priced at an extra $15 and is supposed to be a 20 minute service) She then blamed the bleeding on my nails being too thin. Then after filing all my old gel polish off, she started the manicure without ever wiping off all the dusty old gel. My new polish was applied and of course it was lumpy with old gel dust. There was even a hair (not my hair, different color) on one of my nails, which of course I pointed out to the manicurist. She said she didn't want to redo it because of "how thin my nails were" so she painted the hair into my nail with two more coats of paint! Then again, without ever wiping off the remaining gel dust, she added lotion to my hands and arms and rubbed it in. My nails are lumpy and I'm disturbed about having someone else's hair buried in my nail polish. Yuck.....I cannot believe this place markets itself for being clean and careful. What a gross disappointment! read more

I loooove coming to Marin Country Mart for my regular manis/pedis with Alina at Marlowe. It's a perfect location, and the nail salon is beautiful. Parking is always easy. And it's fun to grab a bite and shop at the Country Mart and/or Farmer's Market beforehand or afterwards. The vibe of Marlowe is fantastic. Perfect music. Beautiful furnishings and decor. Friendly staff. Alina is amazing. Her application is on point for gel manicures... so much so that her manicures are basically bulletproof and last me 3+ weeks. [And I don't even wear gloves when doing dishes ;) ] She takes her time and is a perfectionist. She gives great hand/arm & leg/foot massages. And the staff is always friendly and helpful--keeping me hydrated, comfortable and happy. my other half has worked with Angelo & had a great experience with him as well :) He is very sweet & kind. so thankful to have found Marlowe and will keep coming back every 3 weeks to keep my mani/pedi looking fresh and happy :) Thank you, Team Marlowe!!! read more

I went in for mother daughter Mani pedis with my five year old and we had such a lovely time! Her tech was so patient with her and both of our nails came out so beautiful. We will definitely be returning to such a clean and polished experience. read more

Marlowe - Classic Mani in a not so classic color scheme - Nail Salons Near Me - Larkspur, California

Love it here! It's so clean, modern and well designed. Check out was super easy, as was making the appointment online, which i did somewhat last minute too so i got lucky. My pedicure was great and the nail technician who helped me with the service was lovely. Nice selection of color and products. Convenient location and parking. A little on the pricier side but seems worth it. Feels more like a relaxing mini-spa than just a nail salon. It even smelled nice! read more

Great facility, great service, good color selection and two great locations in Berkeley and Larkspur. Loyalty card gets you a free mani after 10 or so appointments. read more

So many reasons that i'll keep coming back. This team is super organized and it's always easy to make appts through their website. I am greeted at the entry by a very friendly reception team and they always have my appointment in the books. I find the room very comfortable and every pedicure was done really well by a super friendly professional. Highly recommend! read more

The space is beautiful, but the pedicure was quick and ordinary. The manicurists who helped us were very unfriendly too. They didn't say hi, didn't look at us, no smiling, didn't say goodbye....made for a very awkward experience. Definitely won't return. read more

Clean, professional & efficient. The online reservation system is great! .... And.... yes, it's more expensive than other salons I've been to but it's above and beyond in service and cleanliness. I've been here at last 7 times and every technician I've had has been wonderful. read more

Absolutely stellar! Super easy booking and payment, great service with an ultra clean and hygienic space. I really loved the quick pace, but relaxing experience from the technician who worked with me. Karrissa was awesome--she's thorough, calming, and detailed. I will definitely stay on her schedule! read more

Had a great manicure today, my technician was "Angelo." He was very friendly and efficient, did a wonderful job. read more

Excellent service, easy to book, the vibes are immaculate - really cute salon that is clean and bright. I had a marlowe mani and pedi and it was really well done. Will definitely be back. read more

Just got done with a mani for myself and my 2.5 year old. My nail tech wouldn't engage with me at all. I understand having a toddler next to us maybe isn't everyone's cup of tea, but she seemed almost angry or upset to be there. My nails look good and clean. And the tech who did my toddlers nails was polite. read more

Highly recommend. I had a mani/pedi with Alina and she did a fantastic job! Also the space is very inviting.

I hadn't had a mani pedi in over 4 years... thanks Covid. I decided to go for it and I made an appointment at Marlowe even though the prices were a bit high. Lucky me they had space that very day. What a welcoming and super clean salon. Everyone is very nice. The ambiance is so peaceful and pleasant. They made me feel special at every turn and even provided complimentary Proseco! To be honest... I almost cried from sheer joy and bliss during the pedicure massage. What an incredible experience! I'd give it 10 starts if I could. I will definitely be returning to Marlowe! read more

While I'm not new to Marlowe, this was my first time at the Larkspur location. I used to go to this location when it was High Five (RIP), and I love what Marlowe has done to the place. Everything is fresh and new. Check-in and scheduling were a breeze. Zoey was a great conversationalist and an even better nail technician! I treated myself to a California gel mani. My nails look gorgeous, my hands are so soft, and I can't wait to go back! read more

Alina was amazing. She did an excellent job. Marlowe is beautiful, clean, will 100% recommend. She did exactly what I asked her to do. 10/10. Alina did a perfect job on my Gel mani & pedi. read more

Marlowe - Nail Salons Near Me - Larkspur, California

Clean space, relaxing experience and friendly staff. Offered hot tea in a ceramic cup (not paper).

Just visited for the first time and have nothing but great things to report! First things first, online booking was incredibly easy and honored when I arrived. The salon is brand new, clean, and thoughtfully and aesthetically designed. There's surprisingly no other place remotely like it in Marin. Their nail polish selection is high-quality and includes non-toxic options (OPI, Zoya, Deborah Lipman, Essie, Lakur, etc.). My Marlowe manicure and Big Sur pedicure were provided with care and attention to detail while also being efficient. While their services aren't the cheapest, they are are high quality, and they claim to provide their employees with benefits including 401ks. Can't wait to come back! read more

Such a great experience with the Big Sur pedi with Angelo! I'm naturally quite nervous/anxious so I'm glad folks are so accomodating to your level of sociability, while still being friendly during the service. I was able to have a coffee, pop in an earbud, and relax, and at the end my toes look fantastic! Really quick and easy in and out, great pedi at a reasonable price! read more

Such a cute little oasis in the country mart. Feels very private from the hustle and bustle of the shopping center. I had the Big Sur pedi which included a scrub and hot towel, very relaxing and luxurious. Zoey who did my service was friendly and professional. Will definitely be back. read more

Love this place - great results each time for both myself and my tween. If you are on time, they are, too! I have done both Gel and Regular Mani's - gel lasted 3 weeks, and the soak off was easy. Great addition to the Mart! read more

Beautiful ambience - clean and modern with bright natural lighting. Do not get many of these salons around so it was well appreciated! I also loved the drinks service - either Prosecco, tea or coffee. Just that little extra goes a long way in my books. I had a great manicurist Amanda who was very attentive in making sure my nails looked amazing and overall I had a very good experience. They even provided a nail buff for me to bring home. Again, these little perks go a long way. Five stars! read more

I have always had a five-star experience with Marlowe! I am so happy they are now in Larkspur, and have such a beautiful location--it is clean, efficient, and relaxing. I look forward to more manicures and pedicures at this beautiful spot! read more

Marlowe - Beautiful atmosphere for a pedi! - Nail Salons Near Me - Larkspur, California

I tried Marlowe for the first time this week. I was very impressed with my entire experience. I made a same day appointment online. They even store your CC if you want so that you don't have to fumble with payment once your nails are done. The staff was very friendly and salon itself feels very different than a typical nail salon. Very calm, relaxing, and beautiful. I have found my new salon!! read more

Truly the best nail salon I've ever been to. The staff are incredibly hospitable and professional. The furnishings are luxe & pristine. I love Marlowe's commitment to fair wages, healthcare, and 401k plans for their staff. read more

Marlowe - Mint tea in the pedicure room - Nail Salons Near Me - Larkspur, California

It had been years and years since I had a manicure. I've never been big on having manis or pedis. So walking into Marlowe was like walking into another world that seemed completely foreign to me. But the friendly team there put me immediately at ease and guided me in what to expect. Everything at Marlowe is so bright, clean, and elegantly modern. The two technicians I've worked with so far are Alina and Zoey, and both were exceptionally good at what they do as well as being warm and kind. I'm now getting manis and pedis more regularly there and feel really good about supporting a salon that is committed to clean methodologies and fair labor standards. read more

Took my two granddaughters (5 and 2) to get "manis" and they were treated royally. The manicurists were friendly, sweet and accommodating! Julie and Alina were awesome. read more

Great manicure place! Super cute nail salon with the best nail polish's and latest colors. Nail techs are great and very gentle with your nails. Can't think of a better place in Marin! read more

SUPER conflicted about this... First, the experience is just incredible. I had such a lovely time and felt so pampered! It's truly one of a kind for nail salons in Marin. The second I was out the door I texted my boyfriend verbatim "I'm never going anywhere else ever again for the rest of my life to get my nails done". It is unmatched. But then I looked at the nails... they did not look good at all. Bumpy, messy lines, polish on my skin, it was bad. One nail chipped literally the next day and I got gel. I'm a week out now and they have not held up well at all. I paid $70 for a gel manicure that didn't even look good walking out of the salon. I will definitely be back and trying out a different manicurist but I feel bad because she was so lovely!! All this to say, it probably depends on who you get, but for the amount of money I spent it is extremely disappointing. read more

Immaculate and friendly service. Great selection of colors and all-pro service. The space is clean, bright and inviting as well.

I have been coming to Marlowe Larkspur for about a year consistently. It's such a nice, clean, pleasant nail salon. I've had great technicians - and great service all around.

Clean, bright and precise. My gel mani is perfect. The only downside to getting a mani here is that the wood chairs are uncomfortable.

Such a comfortable and pretty and friendly space! I had a wonderful gel mani by Karen. Really enjoyed the environment and energy here. A little pricey but a nice treat and super long lasting. read more

Love this place as my "me" time! Very clean, professional, and the whole vibe is chic. I never feel rushed out when waiting for my nails to dry.
