    Gorgeous
    Orlando R.

    I love this place. They always serve you with a very good attitude and they have a variety of colors and designs for nails and they do eyebrow waxing. I'll be honest. I have my favorites, but they are all very good.

    First time: MOOD CHANGING POLISH!!!!!!!
    DIANA T.

    I was highly recommended to come here and my first experience was quite a memory. I came back a month later to get my gel nails done. Instantly, Tam remembered who I was even with the mask on and she didn't even work on me last time. She notices and remembers EVERYTHING!!! I got her this time around and she was awesome. Very gentle on the hands and nails. Felt like I was being fluffed at a nail salon. Love the massage at the end. I LOVE HOW PERFECTLY THE NAIL POLISH IS PAINTED ON MY NAILS!!!!!!! Lasts me up to 4 weeks. The environment is your normal nail shop environment with a T.V. showing exotic places. The shop is either loud or quiet depending on how busy the business is. *HIGHLY RECOMMEND*

    Bleeding nail
    Geraldine H.

    I should have read the reviews before showing up for a pedicure. Left with a painful toe. Why is it so difficult to find a good mani pedi in Marin?

    Comfort and great energy.
    Thomas B.

    It never gets old. The level of care and comfort I get are superior. Again I asked for and got Gaio. But all the ladies here are amazing. I would be honored to have any of them work on me. Clean, fun, and professional. I tried a couple other places, and they did not reach the level of service and care I found here. See you in April ladies. And thank you for a wonderful experience.

    My real nails with SNS, in red; what else is there?
    Susie T.

    I recently went to North Carolina and had my nails done with my girlfriend and tried the SNS product she uses on her nails, and loved it! Now I'm hooked. First time to Montecito nails because my usual salon does not do SNS product. It took me a little while to research a salon that does SNS. I am more than pleased with how Vi at Montecito Nails did my nails, they are perfect! Vi was kind and friendly. I will go back for sure!

    Inflamed finger lasted over a week

    Worst manicure ever the lady doing my manicure kept pulling instead of cutting my cuticles she pull a piece of my skin she made it bleed and it got infected. I was going out of town and it hurt and bled for over 5 days it ruined my vacation and it was hard to type for work without pain. I went back and tried to showed them the photos and they brushed it off and were mad the entire time. Both the owners were super rough doing my pedi and mani. My toes bled, even when I pulled my foot away the lady went back and cut me and made it bleed she covered my foot so I wouldn't see it, the towel had blood on it , i did not take a picture of that. I had blood and scab for days. Since I wasn't going back I asked for a regular manicure they insisted on doing gel. I thought maybe they'll give me a discount since my finger got infected but no was charged full price even though I told them no gel. My finger had gel polish all over and even the massage was rough. Don't complain or you'll get worse service. I only went back because my family has gone with the for years and I thought they will take the feedback constructively.

    Love, love, love this place. My husband and I decided to take a couple hours off to treat ourselves to a mani/pedi and boy was it worth it. There is nothing more disturbing than...Quarantine Feet. We called ahead and they suggested we wait ~20 minutes before coming in. We arrived, they all wore masks, etc. and we were promptly seated in the massage chairs. The staff was really attentive and clean and I felt safe the entire time. I highly suggest carving out some time during the week to treat yourself.

    Nails, exactly as I requested. Lots of attention to detail and she took great care of my cuticles too.

    My regular spot was closed today and I needed to get a full set, Pedicure and eyebrows before leaving for Thanksgiving tomorrow morning. They took great care of me and spent time on each step. It became busy but I didn't feel rushed at all. I was super impressed. 3 different people and they all did an Excellent job.

    The quality of the nails aren't very good. I left with multiple cuts on my fingers. The employees weren't that friendly either.

    Came here August 12, 2018 about 3pm. I was greeted by the owner. She looked pretty tired but she…read morewas really nice and conversational. It was nice and quiet besides the music. Since it was just her I was the only customer. Her co-worker was off. Fine by me, it made the experience a bit more relaxing. She started taking my old polish off and then scrubbed my feet before soaking them. I thought it was a bit weird but I went with it. As soon as I put my feet in the water to have the scrub rinsed off she wanted one foot to clip the nails. Kinda of weird since it's better to soak and soften the nail and skin a bit. But oh well. ORDERED: - regular pedicure $25.00 - Callous removal $5.00 ------------------------- Total $30 + tip PROS: - I was the only person there - OPI polish wish I liked - decent variety of colors for polish - offer Dead Sea facials while you get your nails done - used recyclable foil instead of plastic bag for callous remover. - foot massage was fantastic for sure. Most salons rub the arch of your foot for 5 min straight, so annoying. - hot towel after massage was a nice touch CONS: - she didn't set me up in my chair (arm rests, turning on massager, didn't offer water or something) - didn't soak my feet before clipping nails and cuticles on one of my feet - so friggin hot in the place. They need to install an AC somewhere - places needs some cleaning up (repaint walls, baseboards, door, pick different paint for walls) - massage chair was okay but I couldn't pick what I wanted so I had to use the multi massage option. Wasn't bad though

    BE CAREFUL WITH THIS PLACE…read more I came here for eyelash extensions and eyebrow waxing. Eyelash extensions have increased in price from $120 to $170, but this doesn't matter. About waxing, this isn't my first time here, but this is my first time experiencing this bad feeling. The owner here has been drinking alcohol before serving me. Her wax was left too hot and she didn't blow for cool down before waxing. Maybe it was from working while not sober that she let the wax straighten heat up and burned me badly. When I talked to her to solve this problem, she said because my skin was thin and told me to put on powder and vaseline. No one treated the burn that way and once again this is NOT MY FIRST TIME waxing here . She denied responsibility and did not acknowledge her fault. She said the wound would heal tomorrow, but it wasn't my first time waxing and I knew what it meant to be burned. 4 days have passed and my eyes are still scarred and I am not sure if my eyes are free of scars. She is not responsible or compensating for me at all. She asked me to pay in cash and took a total of $185. She was cruel to cause this incident to me without being responsible and even took a large amount of cash without telling at the beginning. I think people will understand when I say a business only takes cash during this time and is not responsible for its mistake. Be smart when choosing where to give your beliefs.

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.

    My sister and I decided to try Marlowe out because we wanted a more elevated experience as a…read morebirthday treat, but I've had pedicures that were half the price and so much more elevated. I didn't understand all of the positive reviews until I read a little further and saw that they bribe clients by offering a free manicure for a 5 star review. I didn't book the appointments so didn't receive this offer, but my experience was so underwhelming, I would have felt guilty saying otherwise - like I was tricking people into being disappointed for my own gain. First of all, there were no massage chairs!? And accessibility to the (not very comfortable) pedicure chairs is only for the able-bodied, as it requires a large step up/down on sleek flooring with no handrail. There are tons of basic polishes to choose from, but we were rushed choosing our shades, and the selection was lacking in anything more interesting, such as multi-chromes, shimmers, or holographic shades. The website promises medical-grade sterlization, so I thought they must use an autoclave. However the tools were just loose in the tray, not sealed in autoclave pouches. I thought I could see a UV cabinet (it could've just been a towel warmer, they look alike from a distance) in the back through the open door, but there wasn't any evidence of sanitization on our specific trays of tools, much less medical-grade. My sister booked us the Big Sur pedicures, which are supposed to last 55 minutes, include soak, shaping, cuticle care, moisturizing, and polish, PLUS sugar scrub, hot towels and a 10 minute massage. I didn't even realize she had booked the upgraded service until afterwards - when I was already annoyed by all of the basic missed steps, with no clue as to how much of the promised service was actually being skipped or skimped on. My technician didn't introduce herself or speak to me for the entire 25 minutes of my service, which was incredibly awkward. Did you catch that my 55 minute, $85 (plus tip) pedicure was under a half hour? Were the other 30 minutes promised in the service meant to be drying time? There was no callous or cuticle clean-up, sugar scrub, or hot towels. My nails are all different lengths and cut at weird angles, polish applied sloppily on my cuticles and skin, and my polish had a huge smear on it that I was unable to get fixed because my technician just grunted and walked away when she was "finished" (and before I could look at my nails), never to be seen again. My sister spent an extra $22 for callous removal, and her technician told her she didn't know what she was doing and had never done it before!? She just put some lotion on her feet, wrapped them in plastic for a few minutes, and that seemed to be the whole upgraded experience. Neither one of us received anything you would classify as an actual foot or leg massage, let alone the 10 minutes we paid extra for - my technician lightly ran her hands on my feet and legs for about a minute each while STARING at the clock on the wall behind her. It was less of a massage than what is normally included with even the cheapest pedicure at any local hole-in-the-wall spot. No one told us how long we should wait for our nails to dry (there were no dryers), and no one ever returned to check on us or help us on with our shoes - something that is pretty basic etiquette at even the cheapest salon. My main disappointment is that my sister is incredibly busy and giving - always putting everyone else first - and never has/takes time to pamper herself and relax, and she was really excited for this service. It's upsetting that she didn't get the little bit of pampering she was looking forward to, on the rare occasion that she allowed herself the opportunity. Overall, embarrassingly bad service at any price, but appalling when you're selling a luxury service.
