I've been going to this salon since they first opened in MV. Service is always delightful and peaceful. Hard gel manicure with Katie was very detailed and pleasant. Will return back with another appointment.

Nail size difference

I really wish I didn't have to write this review :/ I have been a loyal customer for years and have always looked forward to my apportionments Unfortunately I received bad service today. I initially came in with short/ medium nails with two lifted gel and one broken finger. The broken finger had happened the night before and I was unable to adjust my appointment that I had made to let the technician know of the issue. When I arrived, I was asked if I wanted to keep the nail that short but I asked for a single nail extension and was told "I don't do that.". After shortening the rest of my nails so that the initial one did not look too odd in comparison I noticed the issues. All of the nails are different shapes, and sizes. Some are very short while others are far above the nail bed. They range from oval to square to rounded coffin. The gel overlay is inconsistent. There are some nails that are flimsy and bend to the touch while others are rock solid, and some have no gel in the corners that can cause easy lifting. When filing down the original gel, the drill bit burnt my nail. I am used to a little twinge, but this hurt so much, I had to pull my hand away. I was very sad and frustrated with the service I received today. It has made me weary.

First time in this new location, looks very clean and nice! Irina was amazing, did a great job on my hands and feet! Love the bright pink ("brand color" :-) Wish more people knew about this dry manicure - pedicure place and give it a try! Much better and safer and cleaner than traditional nail salons.

Amazing service! Very detail oriented with very natural results. Be prepared to pay double what you normally would at a basic nail shop but the results do last twice as long and look better! If you are looking for natural, clean, attention to detail... this is your place!

I have been a regular at Yarco Studio for my manicures for a while, but I finally treated myself to a pedicure now that summer is here. Wow, Amanda did a fantastic job!

Russian manicure with poly gel overlay and my signature red polish!

This review is for the eyebrow lamination, tint & shape. I've seen this trend all over social media and decided to give it a try. I grew out my brows for 2 months. Today Tanya did an AMAZING job I am so happy the way my eyebrows turned out. I also get my manicure & pedicures here at YARCO. I've been a loyal customer for almost two years. I am VERY VERY picky and I'm so pleased with all my services here. Do not hesitate to give YARCO a try you will not be disappointed. All the ladies here are so helpful and super nice. Yara the owner is a doll such a sweet & genuine person who runs her business very well.

This is 2 weeks post manicure, usually by this point I would need a new manicure.

Decided to try out the "Russian" or dry manicure and was pleasantly surprised w the results. My manicure definitely lasts longer than my typical gel manicure and the overall look is a lot better. I think it's important to note that the gel setting for the base and first coat BURNS! I thought it was just me but the first time I went another customer made that comment to the tech. I've been 4 times now and it's the same every time. It's also A LOT pricier than your regular gel manicure and takes a lot longer. So prepare for that. This salon is very clean and the staff is attentive upon arrival. After that it's pretty quiet and every time I've been there the only talking I really hear is between the nails techs or if the person they are working on happens to speak Russian. But personally I don't mind a quiet session. All that said, here is my experience(s) breakdown: Cleanliness: 5/5 Ambience: 4/5 (they offer water, tea, etc. when you arrive), the only down side is they have a tv playing what seems like "travel blogger" videos with techno-like music as a backdrop ON LOOP. So if you're there for 60-90 mins and can't tune it out, it'll definitely make you a little crazy Staff friendliness:4/5 (based on above note) Manicure quality:4/5 (one time I had a different, presumably new tech and my manicure was def different, and this last time there was a little bit of "spill") Overall, it's worth trying it at least once and see if it's worth your time and money.

I have had very thin nails my whole life, so I need to keep my manicures maintained in order for my nails not to break often. I have been getting acrylic nail extensions for years and noticed that my nails were getting severely damaged from how rough acrylics are, so I decided to see if there are any nail techs near me that do Russian manicures (since I would get them whenever I was in Russia and LOVED the results). For some reason, Russian manicures weren't very popular in the USA until a few years ago so I couldn't find anyone local to me (in San Francisco) but I found Yarco Studio in Mountain View! I have been coming to Yarco studio since they first opened and I will keep coming back as long as I live in the Bay Area. I drive over 45 minutes to this salon for my nail appointments because the quality of their work and customer service is unmatched! Lena is an amazing nail tech and my nails end up PERFECT after every appointment, I am very picky about my nail shape and I have never had any issues or ever had to come back for a broken/chipped nail. When I was getting acrylics I would need to get a fill every 2 weeks because they looked so outgrown, but with a Russian manicure my nails last 4-6 weeks without any breakage and they grow out so naturally! I noticed my nails and cuticles started to heal with time and my hands are finally back to being healthy and recovered from acrylics/harmful chemicals they endured for years before. The manicures are a little more on the pricey side but it's so worth it once you see the quality and how long the manicure lasts you. Russian manicures are healthier for your nails, they last longer, and they look so much better!

So soft! Perfection!

My feet have never felt so soft ! They spend so much time working on every detail from heal to toe. This is hand down THE best pedicure and manicure I have ever experienced!! Totally upscale .

Phone cables at every station
Helen K.

I heard about Russian manicures through TikTok and have been dying to try one because I am never satisfied with cuticle care at nail salons. I think this is by far the B manicure I've ever gotten in the US. I had the nail tech Hely and she spent about 1.5-2 hours perfectly cleaning up my nails, cuticle, and painting to a perfection with a thin brush. A manicure is $90 but soon to go up to $100 as per their website. You get greeted with a coffee and treat and they have phone cables of all types at each station. My nails were all messed up from lack of proper care and all different lengths and despite how short they were, with the cuticle cleaning and clipping, it made my nails look so much longer. I should have taken a before and after picture- I am soooo pleased with the outcome! They even gave me a little treat as a first time customer. I will definitely be coming back when I'm in the Bay Area!

Cindy L.

Great customer service! They greet you with a beverage and chocolate. And if you're a new client they gift you a cute goodie bag with cuticle oil and lotion, that was a nice touch. Now for the nails themselves... Bema did overall good job with the exception of a few nicks/cuts when cutting my cuticles. I have 4 cuts that still sting. Hopefully that won't happen again at my next visit. But the paint job was good pand very detailed. I tried my first Russian manicure at a diff location and can tell the difference in their technique. This place seems more authentic Russian manicure. Let's see how they hold up. I'll follow up with retention feedback in a few weeks. Overall do recommend this place.

TLDR: Palita is one of the best lash techs in the Bay Area and is a pro with Asian lashes…read more HONEST long review: I started off as Palita's Asian lashes Guinea pig about 3 years ago. She has since improved her skills dramatically and caters to typical Asian lashes (downward pointing) with unique extensions and custom fans. I always get compliments! The lashes make my morning routine so freaking easy because I just get up, cleanse, sunscreen, and go! The lashes always enhance my natural beauty effortlessly. Expensive and time consuming makeup is in the past. Palita personally creates your desired look using her eye for fashion and deep understanding of the chemistry and techniques behind lash extensions. She will be honest with you and provide amazing service. Such as every girl is unique, so your lashes. Palita analyzes your lashes to determine the best application and look in order to achieve effortless enhanced beauty without causing damage to your natural lashes. She explains every step of her process and will fix issues in between your next appointment (rare to get issues!). La Mai Beauty has changed the way I see lash extensions. I was always worried about lash damage and retention with all the things I do, especially working in construction. With all the things I shouldn't do right after getting my lashes filled (swimming, ocean, sauna, steam room, crying, work, exercising, etc), I have encountered amazing retention! I would be devastated if I had to find a new lash tech honestly.

After showing her a short video of how I want my lashes to look like, she proceeded with a checklist of all the options I can choose from with explanations with what would fit me better and what would look the most natural (NO CATERPILLAR LASHES!!) the list includes the length I want, how curly each of the strands are, etc. After lounging on the chair, she turned her light piano music and off I went on a sweet slumber. She tells me step by step what she's doing i.e. cleaning the lashes, if I am comfortable with the tapes etc. I can already tell that she's quite a professional and very meticulous, and her touch is very light!- this is saying something for someone who's has had multiple eyelash extensions from 3 different continents. She adhered 80 eensy weensy lashes to each of mine and voila! What I also liked about her was she's told me how many more minutes til she's done Overall, a good value for my money and amazing outcome!
