    I've been getting my nails done for years but this is undoubtedly my favorite nail spot in the Bay Area -- both the founder Yara and all her technicians are always so sweet. I'm someone who struggles to find nail salons who take the time to do detailed cuticle work (my nails grow out very quickly so this is a must for me). However, this is one of the few places I've been able to find that do an immaculate job prepping the nails and cutting the cuticles. The technicians always take the time to make sure every detail is perfect and my nail sets always get compliments even though I choose simple colors because they do such an amazing job. In addition, their interior is also always clean and I can tell their sanitation process is thorough. I couldn't recommend this place enough:)

    If you want your nails perfect this is the spot. They really take the time to make your nails look absolutely amazing and it's well worth the price.

    New client gift

    The work is truly on a level of its own! Alina is super sweet and humble and meticulous!! She keeps saying it's just my own nails but it's not. My nails have never looked like this, nor did I think they could. If you're debating, stop. Do it. You'll love it!! Oh and the place is pristine, love how they put so much effort in keeping it spotless.

    For $144, I expected a much higher level of service. Not the best experience, and I definitely will not be returning.

    I visited YARCO Studio in Los Gatos for a KART Pedicure with a Master technician. I had hoped to book with a Top Master, but none were available, so I went with the next level. The service was scheduled for almost two hours, but I was finished in nearly half the time. While I understand that dry/e-file pedicures are different from traditional spa pedicures, the experience was not relaxing or enjoyable for me. It felt very clinical, and at times uncomfortably so. The technician, I believe was Anna, came across as detached and wasn't able to explain the tools she was using when I asked. I tried to make small conversation, but she remained very stoic, which added to the discomfort. The highlight of my visit was actually the receptionist. She was warm, friendly, and provided great customer service from the moment I walked in. Based on the strong marketing and the premium pricing, I expected a much higher level of service and professionalism. I booked this as a birthday/anniversary treat for myself, so I was disappointed that the experience didn't meet expectations. I later received a birthday discount code by email, but I decided not to return. Interestingly, when I mentioned my experience to someone at my regular salon, they said they felt the same way... lots of advertising, but the service itself didn't live up to the hype. Although the service wasn't for me, I still tipped 20% out of respect for the work. Unfortunately, I won't be going back.

    Index is red, middle right is a little painful and ring finger cuticle has a slight bruise

    3.5 stars. Amazing front desk service. I was greeted and offered a drink. I took a caramel cappuccino and the girl who checked me in was very kind. The place is clean and their tools are also very clean. Everyone there is very professional and there's lots of natural light and it's a beautiful studio. I had gotten a fantastic pedicure from Natasha 5/5 prior so I was excited to come back to get my nails done. I picked Sasha bc Natasha and everyone else was booked till next week. Sasha did not partake in small talk but did asked me about nail shape and color. They focus on your nails instead of talking with you so in that way I felt valued. I just watched a movie on my phone with my AirPods and she went to work. I know it always hurts a little when they push back your cuticles but this time it's still hurting as I'm writing this review. It hurt when I showered today and it hurts when anything touches them. My cuticles are slightly swollen from being pushed back too roughly, and most of them are painful to the touch and feel a bit raw. Where it was pushed back too roughly, is slightly more red than others. I also had to tell her the drill was getting hot on my nails, burning me as she was taking off my gel. Besides the cuticles work and removal, Sashas application was very skilled. I am very satisfied with the gel application and it is perfect to my liking. I just felt paying 100+ tip and requesting a top master, I shouldn't come home with painful/raw cuticles. Also the mani says 1 hour and 20+ minutes but I was seated around 2:10 and done paying by 3pm. Was I rushed? I will most likely still come here since the application is good and I loved the pedi but I might request a different technician next time. Hopefully the cuticles will calm down and won't get infected or further inflamed. Will update if anything gets worse.

    Right after

    Finally I tried Russian manicure...and wow! I a was super happy: the atmosphere, the decor, the attention to the details, unbelievable! I had my nails done with Alina, I am happy more than 100%. Now it is almost a month and my nails look amazing, cuticles are perfect. I already scheduled next visit. Honestly, finally I can tell that I never had a better manicure. Thank you! And I highly recommend this place! P.S. I posted some other review about another nail place, but honestly you cannot really compare the work. Yarco Studio is a different level (much much higher). More expensive, but the work is not comparable.

    I'll never go back to any other type of nail service. I've had ingrown surgeries on both big toes and very ticklish feet. Amanda made me feel heard and welcome. She was extremely gentle and I love my pedicure! This service was Clean, I loved it.

    Shape perfect!!!!! Today picture is from Ira! Thank you Yarco!

    Ira and Lana are my two favorites! I have never had a better manicure in my LIFE!!!! They are must for yourself and perfect for a gift to a special person!

    Crushed Pomegranate Pellegrino and a fresh gel mani.

    Lana, Master Nail Stylist! What can I say but flawless nails. F L A W L E S S . I had not had a real Russian Manicure before and now I know. IYKYK. Very calm and relaxing inside, aethestics are great. Small quiet chitchat in English and Russian. I've been here twice now.And I can say their expertise definitely is in the manicure with gel over natural nails. Think clean girl aesthetic meets old money. Booking my full pedicure for a couple of weeks out, after my family goes hiking and camping. Today's color was #51 pink, it matched my Pomegranate Pellegrino, so here's a pic of Crushing Pomegranate, BC they crushed it here!

    Decided to check this studio out after hearing a bit about it. First visit, and it went better than expected. I booked online, which was simple enough. When I got there, the staff greeted me right away and were genuinely nice. I ended up chatting a bit with one of them while waiting, which made it feel less like a "get in, get out" kind of place. Also, they offer coffee during appointments - kind of a random perk, but it actually made the wait feel more chill. The space is clean and has a calm vibe to it, which I appreciated. I'd definitely go back.

    I've been a client of Yarco Studio for over a year, since I moved to the Bay Area. I was beyond happy when they opened a new Los Gatos location, since I live nearby. The salon is spacious, modern and super CLEAN! I always get my nails done with Top Master Sasha. She is very professional, fast and polite. If you have high standards - she is the master for you!

    Iana E.

    I am writing a review 2 weeks after the manicure, because in my opinion this is the best indicator. Often, when I leave the master, I like everything, but after a week the gel polish flies off, and the manicure does not look so good... But not after this salon! Master Alina is so thorough and meticulous about her work, she is a real perfectionist. I was very surprised how clean and perfect a manicure can be! Now, after some time, my hands look great. I would also like to note the service in the salon. Administrator Anna is very attentive and I felt that they were taking care of me. It was very nice! I recommend!

    Does anyone happen to know if I can arrive with builder gel from another salon or do new clients need to arrive with clean nails? Thank you!

    You can absolutely come with your current gel on. We can remove it for you before starting the new manicure — you don’t need to arrive with clean nails.… Read more

It's a little gem tucked away in a plaza and I'm so happy she brought me as a guest the first time. I went for the middle tier pedicure treatment option, and it's such a relaxing experience, they wrap a warm towel around your neck and after soaking your feet , depending on the tier, you get a hot stone massage. I got the 17 minute one and once my technician started to massage, with the combination of the warm towel, I fell asleep and had a little 15 min nap. Best feeling ever! I like that they don't pressure you for gel polish or to move to a higher tier treatment, that's my concern with most nail salons. The pedicure chairs are comfy and all the nail technicians are sweet and friendly. It's a cozy setting and I would definitely return back.

After checking in, a staff member simply pointed me toward a chair to soak my feet. No one spoke to me for the next 20 minutes, and my feet were left soaking in cold water. A technician briefly approached me but walked away again. The service didn't actually begin until 1:55 PM. At the start, the technician seemed somewhat impatient, repeatedly telling me to lift my feet higher for the scrub. To her credit, she was polite enough to double-check with me that the nail polish color would be quite sheer. The entire service wrapped up by 2:40 PM. If you are just looking for a rushed, quick appointment, this place might work for you. However, if you are looking for a high-quality, relaxing experience, I would highly recommend going elsewhere.
