    Worst experience. Do not recommend. This place is hands down one of the worst businesses I've ever been to. The man who runs it is incredibly rude and dismissive. During my most recent visit, he physically tapped/hit my shoulder while telling me to sit down--in front of other customers--which was completely inappropriate and uncomfortable. They have zero respect for customers' time. Every single visit, I've been told the wait would be "a few minutes," only to end up waiting 20 minutes, an hour, or even an hour and a half--even when I had an appointment. They consistently lie about wait times. I've asked directly, "Should I come now?" and been told yes, only to arrive and be made to wait indefinitely. In this last visit, I was told "two minutes" while the technician was clearly just starting a full acrylic set on someone else. When I tried to leave after realizing I'd been misled again, I was told to sit back down--and that's when he touched my shoulder. I left without getting my nails done. Tammy is the only competent and professional person there, which is why everyone requests her--but that alone doesn't justify how poorly customers are treated. The only reason this place stays in business is its convenient location. If there were literally any other option nearby, I would never step foot in here again. I rarely leave bad reviews, but this experience--and the pattern of disrespect--deserves to be called out.

    They do a decent job and are friendly. Marin City is conveniently located off the freeway. They have you check in with your phone number. Don't unless you're ok with getting text promotions. Also, it's nice they want to recommend upsells, but not needed. I line the food shows they have playing on their TV monitors. If you're just getting a manicure, you won't get the massage chairs.

    I am IN LOVE with my nails!! Never mind the current state of my overly dry, winter weather-beaten skin... I now feel fabulous \0/ *** Yaay!! This was my first visit to NAILS #1 and Sally was the sweetest and most attentive technician. She took her time and was quite tedious with making sure all looked perfect. I hadn't ever received such patient attention at any other nail salon before. It was wonderful!

    Just got my nails done yesterday and I am obsessed! The shop was very clean and they accommodated myself and my friend right away when we got there even tho it was before they even opened! So happy I found this place

    Excellent service! The moment I walked in I was greeted and helped right away. I was offered tea or water and was told about the specials for the day. I really liked this nail salon because of the location and how cute the inside of it is. It's a very clean salon and modern style. I got a fill in with regular nail polish color. I loved how they have a variety of different colors in matte, glossy, or sparkly form. The lady Lily who did my nails was amazing and friendly. We had a nice conversation and she really took her time in making sure my nails looked nice. She didn't rush and was very gentle with my nails. She also mentioned to me that I should take my keys out and phone so I don't ruin my nails when it's time to leave digging into my purse. I also paid before she applied the nail polish so I can prevent from ruining my nails. I really like the fact they care about customer satisfaction and prevent their customers from damaging their nails. I chose a bold green color for my nails and was skeptical about it not looking good but it came out better than I expected! I left feeling good and happy with my results. I highly recommend this salon!

    Worst pedicure I've ever had and I've been a lot of places (and they were WAY cheaper). My toes should've been dry by the time my manicure was complete so I have no idea how I walked out with a totally screwed up big toe (see picture). Regular manicure was good and still looks great. Staff was weirder than usual. I had an appointment so time shouldn't have been an issue but they still kept rushing it along. Felt very hurried and the guy even insisted I pay WHILE I was in the middle of my manicure. Somehow didn't mess my nails up but just what in the hell?? This is right by my place in Sausalito so I'm bummed that it was such a bad experience but I'd rather drive 900 miles to pay less and get more.

    I got a cuticle infection and my nail fell off. Do not go here! Uggggooo I checked their utensils and it seemed like they were clean, but obviously not from the terrible infection I got.

    Afterwards, she gave me a hand massage that was better than I have received from most massage therapists.

    Gigi is not just any ordinary esthetician, she is the extraction queen. I'm so happy I found her…read moreright here in Marin. Gigi is an expert at her craft with 20 years of experience. I came to her with severally dry skin and after my first appointment I had glowing skin. She wants all of her clients to have clean skin and I had both clean and hydrated skin again. It was heavenly! She doesn't waste time achieving her clients needs which I love. Gigi's facials are not the same as regular spas where they put on mask after mask and spend minimal time on extractions. Instead, she does custom deep cleansing clinical facials where she spends a good amount of time on extractions. It's painful, but gratifying at the same time. Gigi's excitement for extractions is contagious. I personally see Gigi about every 5-6 weeks. She is by appointment only. Her clients range in all different ages including teens. If you keep up with the latest products and treatments in the beauty world or just curious, ask her about the Korean stem cell treatment. You won't regret it.

    I had my first visit just yesterday, and want to kick myself for not getting to Gigi sooner. That…read moresaid, Gigi (& Hong) has a client base that makes booking out necessary but I'm glad to say "good things come to those who wait" I had the service of micro-blade set of Brows done and I have to say I was very concerned as a first timer especially since I haven't done it before and didn't want to screw up something that's partially permanent. The consult (texts exchanged before) and the appointment ended with an outcome that I'm so pleased with - I had to take time out to share. They were very critical in asking questions (for my benefit) and to ensure I walked out with what I wanted with no regrets. I'm from the camp that if anything is enhanced it's done naturally (as if that's just how you are). As a nice add on, Gigi caught some areas that needed facial attention and with a gentle and effective hand took care of that too. How lucky am I? I may be traveling 1 hour to get there and back home - but I'm all about Facials that don't make me feel like I've just been sold a line of products - but actually make me feel like I got my face cleansed in a way that I can't do myself.
