This was my very first time going to this salon. Over the phone the lady seemed very nice... however, the lady (don't know her name) was very rude to my mother and I. She was rushing and she kept saying she was tired and had an attitude when it came to my mother picking a color. As you can see in the pictures she left glue and didn't even take off the old nail polish correctly. In addition, I am 7 months pregnant and when I asked the lady to please fix my mother's nails she started to yell at me and refused to fix her work because she was "tired". She also charged me $228 on my card when she had told me she would charge me $190. She lied and overcharged on my card only for two acrylic sets and a pedicure. Totally ridiculous. As first time clients my mother and I felt very disrespected and disappointed. I do not recommend this place at all. Overall the other ladies that did my nails were very kind as they should be. Anyway, I am very sadden that this had to happen to my mother and I because we were looking forward to a nice relaxing time getting our nails done but it turned out to be very stressful. No pregnant woman should ever get yelled at, specially when I was being respectful about the situation. My mother deserved a better job than this. I don't mean any disrespect by posting this review but I hope it can help aware people before going to this salon. read more

The most solid pedicure for only $20 in the entire Bay Area. Everyone who works here is extremely sweet and accommodating.

I started going to Today's Nails when I was a teenager (I'm 34 now). After college, I moved away for almost 8 years, and when I returned to Today's Nails, Rose still remembered my name!! These ladies know and love their customers, and I wouldn't take my business anywhere else. In the time I was gone, Today's Nails got even better. They're part of San Mateo County's Certified Healthy Nail Salon program (safer products and practices for both customers and employees), their prices are very reasonable, and they give an amazing pedicure massage. Of course the quality of their work is as great as it's always been, the shop is clean, and they're just as friendly as ever. I try to make appointments when I can, but they're always super flexible with walk-ins as well. Also, street parking is usually pretty easy, but there's a large free parking lot a block away if you're ever struggling. Grab a cup of coffee across the street at Pete's and then head into Today's Nails for some pampering. You'll be glad you did! read more

I must say I have been to many places to try to find the perfect fit for me and everyone here from the owner, Rose, to her amazing team have helped me and are always so very professional, warm, friendly and genuine. It is well worth their amazingly fair prices for the amount of service they provide and I would recommend this nail salon to anyone that wants the same experience I have every time. Thank you Today's Nails! ~ Jenna read more

Today's Nails - My favorite gel color Papaya Whip. They did an amazing job! - Nail Salons Near Me - Millbrae, California

We have been longtime satisfied customers of Today's Nails for many years. Yesterday my daughter and I went to the salon and experienced post-pandemic what Today's Nails was doing to make the salon experience safe for the public. When we arrived, following our appointment, the staff took and recorded our temperature. There was plexiglass installed at every station and all the staff were wearing gloves and masks and social distancing. All of the actual merchandise was covered and we were seated every other customer for social distance purposes. I find that they are very thorough in their preparation and do a beautiful job with nail application that last for many weeks. Also creative with painting designs. The owner always remembers us and is very hospitable and the other customers are fun. I recommend this salon with pleasure. Linda S. read more

Rose and her team are the best on the Peninsula. I've been coming for 15 years. The service is excellent and my nails and wax is always done perfectly. read more

I was in the area for work and badly needed my nails done. I checked yelp for a nail salon near my hotel and found Today's Nails. The reviews were right on target. Not only did Rose accommodate me without an appointment on a busy Saturday morning, the quality of her work was top notch. She made no assumptions about the length I wanted my nails trimmed to and she talked with me about why she was using a certain Emory board or technique. What great personal service. The variety of gel colors was extensive too. If I'm ever in the area again and in need of nail services I'm definitely coming back. read more

I highly recommend read more

I haven't gone out to get my nails done since Covid. I've been to Today's Nails in the past before the pandemic hit and the staff the was super efficient and nice. It's now 2021 and I came back today to get mani/pedi with my daughter. Rose and her staff were so nice and accommodating, just like before. They've been hit hard financially by the pandemic. Rose is such a hard worker. She's been in Millbrae 20+ years! I hope she and her business will bounce back!! I totally recommend them!! read more

I came on yelp to find somewhere to get a pedicure. I do not live in area, so I'm relying on Yelp. I walked into this salon a few minutes before they were open. They had the door ajar and offered me a chair. Very nice women. I have an allergy and they respected that. Some places make me feel like it's an inconvience, they did not. Super happy. I will stop back when I'm in need and in the area. read more

Today's Nails - Hot pink and ready for the sand! - Nail Salons Near Me - Millbrae, California

if I could give more starts I would! I have been going to Today's Nails since 2009 and have never had a problem. They are always so accommodating and they really take care of their customers; long term and walk-ins. I truly appreciate their quality products and great pricing. I have spent a lot of money on my nails over the years and have been disappointed by the high cost and low quality of products/service... you will NOT have to worry about that here! It isn't the most modern place.. but I don't care. It is clean and they are all about making sure you leave a happy customer. I also like that they have a lot of elderly repeat clientele... This tells me that they are careful, considerate and clean... As we know, age brings on a lot of problems and infections can cause serious issues. Today's Nails sterilizes their equipment and tools. You will not be disappointed... I am always asked "who does your nails, they look so natural and not thick"... I get the pink and white gel ...PERFECTION EVERY TIME!!! read more

Today's Nails - LOVE MY PINK & WHITES!!! Not thick and very natural! - Nail Salons Near Me - Millbrae, California

Came here on a whim as I needed to get my nails done ASAP for an occasion... terrible idea, but this was the only place open on a Sunday around Millbrae. Came here right when they opened around 10:15 and already the place was busy. I walked in and was greeted with "Can I help you" instead a "hello" "hi" and then "how may we help you". I didn't want to judge before I got my nails done, but this should of sealed the deal because the rest of the experience wasn't all that great. Anyways I got a French Manicure ($15). And I was in and out in 20 minutes? Shows how much time they spent on it. Anyways, after they buffed and filed down your nails, the lady helping me basically just say "you pay now" (sorry for the broken English, but this really was said). I was kind of taken back. I mean I understand why I had to pay early so I didn't have to reach into my purse and ruin the nails, but really. Couldn't you have asked more nicely? So I paid and then the polish went on. They painted it rather quickly and even let dust get sealed in under the coat of polish.. it's so visible when you have a french manicure. The white tips of my manicure are uneven on half my nails. One side of the nail is thicker. When the lady screwed up she used her nails to kind of pick at the white line to make it better. In reality it made it so much worse because there was a dent in the polish.. she didn't even fix it. Finished look: you can still see some edges of the nail that wasn't even coated and the tips look even from a far, but close up is a different story. I wouldn't come here again to get my nails done. The ladies who work there seem like they are just in a rush or don't care about newcomers into the store. Plus they only speak to each other in another language. Service isn't all that great. You would think it would because there are so many other nail places in Millbrae that they have to compete against. read more

I do really wish Yelp had half stars as I would have given this 3.5. First off, the ladies there are very friendly. I had a pedicure done and it was well done and did not feel rushed. They produced pre-packaged instruments which was reassuring that they were clean. I had two issues with this place. One, the massage chairs are crammed together to where it is a little uncomfortable unless you came with the person next to you. My second issue is the massage chairs are very very worn. Oh and leave plenty of time for parking as it can be hard to find. I would visit this place again. read more

Went on my lunch to get a french tip full set. I was scared at first because I was a first timer. came in the owner rose was so nice! Friendly. Had great conversation and my nails came out perfect! I will definitely recommend to all my friends and family! I am definitely going to keep going back! read more

Today's Nails - Love french tip wit gel on top! - Nail Salons Near Me - Millbrae, California

Went here for the first time today. My boyfriend lives in Burlingame and because it's Monday "tip n toe" is closed. When I got there I asked if it was a 10$ manicure. (no pricing signs) and she said yes and repeated "10 dolla". She did an excellent job cutting my cuticles (and spent a lot of time) hence 1 star The massage was short and she did not trim my nails at all or ask if I wanted them shaped/trimmed. Bummer. My nails are kinda uneven now. Before she painted my nails she asked me to pay. I said ok. Kinda rude how she asked but I don't think much of it. I Gave her a $20 and she handed me back 8$. I said "Isn't the manicure 10?" and she said "NO NO 12" in a VERY rude tone. I would have been okay with 12 - but she told me 10 in the beginning. I am half asian so I can understand the heavy accent - It wasn't a mix up - It was a lie!!!! I brought my own opi color and sparkles. She did an ok job with the paint. Plus another star for a great selection of opi nail colors. Kinda bummed that it's now day two and my nails have already chipped pretty badly. Haven't done anything significant but the tips are pretty much gone. I won't ever be coming back. Originally 2 stars - Minus one for the horrible amount of chipping. read more

DO NOT GO HERE. I was dragged here by 2 of my girlfriends who were looking for a cheap pedicure. This was by far the worst manicure I've ever had. The salon was disgusting, and my $30 shellac manicure, which they only applied one coat of, chipped 2 days later. If you want to know what the ambiance of the salon is like, spend 20 minutes in a crack house. You can get a much better manicure for the same price anywhere else in the bay area. Please clean your salon, and offer better service. Otherwise, lower your prices. And stop asking if people like the service while you are pushing them out the door. read more

There's no price list posted anywhere so I figure I should do a PSA and share the price increase for pedicure to $23 from $20 a year ago. Took me by surprise but it's not outrageous. It's an average salon. The massage chairs doesn't work. The foot massage was the highlight and they do take their time. Workmanship was average as well. read more

This nail salon is a gem. Rose is wonderful and welcoming. Helen does the MOST beautiful and lasting custom pedicure designs...seriously, she cares and is very good at her work. I get positive comments on my toe designs several times a week (and this from a woman who gets her toes done about every 5 weeks...the designs last). this is a great, not pretentious, nail salon that understands service, quality, craft and well, family. I was also able to have my 4 year old get a finger and toe polish and they were super patient and kind to her. I would recommend Today's Nails to anyone who wants a pleasant (and quick) experience and an excellent mani/pedi. Cheerio! Oh, BTW this is Christina, the wife of Paul S read more

Im from San Diego and can not find a good nail place since ive moved!!!! Someone help me!!! I think this place is called "Todays" Nails because their work only lasts for one day. I couldnt wait to get home and write a review about this place. As soon as i walked in, RUDE. Fine, expected... But when i litterally have to keep telling the lady, "shorter" ... "shorter"... "thinner"... "thinner" and then she starts talking about me in vietnamese to the other lady, and still cant get my nails right?!! I got classic pink and white nails, and they are thick and so wide the acrylic goes over my skin on the sides. Ive been getting my nails done my whole adult life so I know a crappy job when i see it. I can tell its going to lift ..i give my nails a week at the most and for $40, thats sad! Dont go to this place, even if its the last place open!!! read more

This is my favorite nail salon because they do a great job and really care about their work. I've been to a lot of nail salons, and Today's Nails is the best. I'll definitely be a continuous customer. read more

I have been going to Today's Nails for about 8 years now. They always treat me with respect, kindness and a big hello and big smiles!!! The pricing is reasonable and they do a great job!!! I always feel comfortable and relaxed when there. I just recently talked my husband into going to get a mani/pedi. He has become a fan of the ladies at Today's Nails and is trying to talk his friends and our neighbors into giving them a try!!!! Thank you Rose, Nancy and Helen. read more

My favorite salon up the street was full of people so I decided to go down the block and get a pedicure at the next salon I came upon. Big mistake! First of all, *my* salon was busy for a reason...they're great and I'm sure everyone that gets their nails done there has referred someone (or they have read the yelp reviews!). I should have waited around but I was impatient. I came upon this salon and the lady that "greeted" me after I walked in, was nothing short of rude! It wasn't even a friendly greeting. It was more of an "what do you want?" blurt. There were 2 other people getting pedicures and there were 3 stations open and employees to accommodate, so it wasn't like I brought a group of friends in without an appointment. "Pick your polish!" Are you for real? Then she pointed to the station where I should go. Woman, I'm not a dog. If your English isn't so great that's OK but there's no excuse for being rude. After I sat down in the chair, I checked out the yelp reviews on my phone. Yikes! I wished I had done this before-hand but it was too late and I was already getting my feet wet. The lady that did my pedicure at least said hello. After a rushed job (and she didn't even cut my nails, just filed them), I was hurried over to the drying fan. All I could think was "my first and last time here". My polish wasn't completely dry and I scuffed 2 toes while putting on my slippers but at that point, I didn't care because I wanted to get the hell out and leave. That's how bad it was. The one star is for the OPI polish because that's the only brand I use. read more

I'd give 3.5 stars if I could... The ladies there are really nice - they're the reason I've been going there for about 5 years. They give great pedicures (the only real reason I go there). I agree that the facilities are sub-par, but I put up with it because the ladies do a great job. read more

Not the worst manicure and far from the best. The place is a bit on the dirty side, they do not use disposable files and buffers which kind of weirds me out. The shellac lights they use are the old ones so it takes a long time for a shellac manicure. I guess I'm just so used to the new lights that dry in 45 seconds vs 3 minutes per coat. My biggest gripe would be that she didn't paint all the way down. See pic...it says it all. Would I come back? Probably not but I'm also very picky. read more

Today's Nails - I wish the nail tech would have painted all the way down. It looks like this manicure has a week of growth already. - Nail Salons Near Me - Millbrae, California

Very bad service for waxing. The room was dirty with open food around, the room was very messy. The waxing service was the worst. She finished the job in 10 mins with me telling her to wax the left out parts. She was trying to tell me i did this for you and did that for you while jn fact she did not do her job fine. She did not wax my fingers and hand and when i asked her to do she said she will charge me extra. Poor service. Never go here for anything. read more

I used nothing other than Yelp to find this little place. I needed a last minute manicure and nail polish change after a long work day the day before a wedding. I know it sounds like I was procrastinating but I didn't want to chip my nail polish at work (reasonable, huh?). About 15 min before most places close at 7 pm, I called a few places and no one was taking appointments. Finally, I called Today's Nails and Rose had me come in, did my nails perfectly and was so sweet! My toes and nails were done at the same time which is always helpful. I would definitely recommend this place and will be back for sure! read more

I have been going to this nail salon for almost ten years for both gel manicures and pedicures. Rose, Nancy, and Helen are all amazing. They always treat me right and take the extra time for nail designs. They are always able to accommodate me if I need to change my regular appointment. They recently did my nails for my wedding and did a fabulous job. I would not have trusted anyone else with my nails. I also recently got my brows done for the first time there and Rose was quick and efficient. Thank you ladies! read more

Today's Nails - Beautiful manicure as always. Thank you Nancy! - Nail Salons Near Me - Millbrae, California

Rose is amazing! I love her dearly! She works really hard and does a great job. I just moved to Millbrae and I go to see Rose at least every two weeks. Rose is very professional and so is her team. I strongly recommend to see Rose for eyebrows and mani/pedi or anything else you need. She will take care of you! They have entire collection of OPI and have many different colors. Parking can be difficult depending on the time of day. read more

If you want to have beautiful nails done, you should come to this salon. Every time I get my nails done here, I am left with shiny, healthy looking, beautifully painted nails that last forever! I find that the ladies here are very accommodating, and try very hard to give me the appointment time that I would like. I have even given my daughters' gift certificates for Today nails, because it is such a great place. read more

DO NOT GO HERE!!! The owner finds it acceptable to lie about the wait time. She'll sit you down (maybe clean off old nail polish), then have you wait an hour until she is finished with other customers. After my nails were done, I noticed missing spots that she did not paint. I looked at my sister's nails and there was LINT dried into the gel nail polish-- so raggedy. *see image for proof of a rushed job. This salon is ghetto to say the least. I also want to include the lady working on my nails had a cut on her finger with dried blood, incredibly GROSS! Furthermore, my sister was distraught in that the lady doing her nails opened the bathroom door and began SCRUBBING the toilet. If you want to screw over some enemies, send them here! read more

Love this place! All the ladies, notably the owner Rose and Nancy, are not only skilled nail technicians/artists but also incredibly friendly. It's definitely a locals place where they make you feel like family. If something happens to your nail (which never does), they tell you to stop by and they'll fix it for free. It's clean, tools are sterilized, and my gels lasts a while. They truly care. I've searched far and wide for a new nail salon and I've finally found it! Recommend an appointment after work hours or weekends. read more
