Pearl color #19

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!
kimberly d.

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.

Reviews are largely positive. People highlight the attention to detail, long-lasting results, and friendly, professional staff. The clean and calming environment is also appreciated.

I am so glad I found Yu Beauty Bar. I had actually been in contact with Cherlene for a couple years…read morebefore I took the plunge and scheduled my first laser removal for my eyebrows. Every time I reached out to Cherlene, she would reply. Great customer service and very professional. She's very knowledgeable and you can tell that she and her team take a great interest in educating their clients and making sure they leave her studio having clear expectations. I was matched up with Fan's schedule and saw her a total of three times for my laser eyebrow removal. She is so kind, accommodating, and knowledgeable! Because of my back issues and vertigo, she would adjust the chair accordingly and she would often check in with me during the session to make sure I was tolerating the procedure. She was gentle and caring and that made a huge difference! My eyebrows faded nicely and I am hopeful that I will be able to get my new brows done in a couple of months. I can't wait to see how they turn out. Would highly recommend this studio for laser eyebrow removal!

I learned about microblading 2 years ago on Instagram and I always thought it was so neat but…read morealso... too good to be true. There has to be a catch right? Perfect brows? As soon as you get up every morning? Nahhh. Popularity only grew and the more it placed itself on my Instagram feed. I thought perhaps this was some kind of weird Instagram algorithm where they saw my patterns of "liked" microblading videos lol. Come to my surprise, a lot of my friends were talking about it and getting their eyebrows done. They looked amazing! I got so curious about it and read a couple of reviews and I was spooked off of some of the reviews I was reading... I read about eyebrow disasters and "trusting" your artist. So I had spent time on researching different artists and studios. I was introduced to Tiffany's work through complimenting one of my girlfriend's eyebrows! "I got it microbladed!" I totally thought she had grown out her brows and reshaped it or something, wrong. Microbladed. "Whats her IG?!?! (Instagram account)" I was impressed with her work! And I jumped on the opportunity immediately! And made the appointment. While introducing herself to me I started to feel at ease and comfortable. Honestly, I had been freaking out the night before up to the moment I met her, wondering if this was something I really wanted to commit myself to. During the consultation she was very professional and thorough. She was patient and reassuring answering all my questions. She was very attentive and took her time to get the framework even and natural. Im very particular and like my eyebrows a certain way but she never flinched frustration if I suggested a slight change to the shape and sizing of my eyebrows. Once we started the actual microblading process, she continued to make sure I was comfortable, talking me through the process, and played very relaxing music. The whole experience put me at ease. I am so happy with my eyebrows! They look amazing! She didn't stop at being incredible after my appointment, she continued to encourage me to ask questions, if any, during my healing process. I strongly recommend Tiffany if you're looking to get your eyebrows microbladed!!!

I just had a very therapeutic first session of microblading done by Tiffany!! She introduced…read moreherself with a firm handshake, welcomed me in, had me sit down and explain a bit of what I was hoping for. I told her a natural look. My eyebrows are really the only thing I occasionally put makeup on and I was interested in microblading to simplify my morning routine. An accident from years ago left me with a scar which kept hair from growing in half of my left eyebrow. Though I hadn't researched much beforehand (except to see her 5-star reviews and know I was in a good place), I felt immediately trusting of Tiffany's vision. She applied a first bit of topical numbing cream and I signed some paperwork. Then I relaxed as she drew an outline (which I confirmed), we chose the color pigment, she did the first round of incisions, applied the numbing cream (which needs to have cuts to go in in order to work), and then she got to work filling in the rest of my brows. I didn't mind the sensation, and the entire time Tiffany and I were excitedly chatting about all sorts of things ranging from travels, to dreams, to philosophy and "living our best life"! Tiffany was very attentive to creating a comfortable and nourishing space. I was impressed by her ability to concentrate as we were having such a good time! By the end of the procedure, I was a little nervous as I was bleeding a bit more than most people (I think maybe due to anemia but some people just bleed more than others apparently). Bleeding more means the pigment is less likely to stick, but Tiffany was sure to patiently clot it with a tissue and reapply more pigment after so it would stay. Thankfully, when she showed me the mirror I was giddily relieved as it looked AMaZiNG!! I am thoroughly impressed with the work she did. My brows looks thicker, fuller, darker (ahem- like they exist 100%!) and I feel more radiant than ever! I went for a long walk after just to show my babies off!! ‍ I feel more confident and very satisfied with my decision. Tiffany was so sweet, professional, wise, and intuitively able to connect with me on a deeper level personally and in regards to giving me exactly what I wanted (without much input from me). Her prices are also very affordable for such good quality compared to what some other salons charge. I 100% recommend her! Be sure to get an appointment before she leaves to share more beauty on the East Coast!

I figured it will fade and I can get it fixed trueing touch up appointment. I specifically asked to map my eyebrows daaaaays before my appointment. She realized she accidentally cancelled my appointment because someone else had the same name as me (red flag for not being organized and on top of things), so I came in a different time. Thankfully I had the entire day off since I requested it off from work. Unfortunately, she didn't map it. So I failed to really point out what I needed done. So many things went wrong. I thought it was ok after her work, but without the map I wouldn't be able to point out the exact mistake. I went ahead with my day and oh my god, I started seeing her mistake much worst. I had a consultation with another artist and without giving her any info, she pointed out the exact issues I noticed. I was so upset that I contacted Chu about this. She said it was the muscle since it was just done you need to go back to school. As you can see on the photos, I did my own mapping and she really fked up my natural eyebrow shape. Look at that tail!!! I fell victim to her selected postings on Instagram of her perfect work.... No, she cherry picks the best to showcase for her portfolio. I sent her additional message and she just ignored them. Please do more research. I also found out the "nano brow" she does is not true nano brow. She has the tool for it but does not know how to actually practice the technique. It's supposed to be whispy, not microblade-like. My only hope is that my tattoo brow will fade drastically. She fked up so bad. She shouldn't be teaching if she's this bad. She can't even do her mapping right. Maybe that's why she didn't do it when I requested it. Maybe she knew the mistake she made and didn't wanna make it obvious. I can't believe I even tipped her. She only worked on me for less than an hour. The artist I talked to said Chu was supposed to be careful and taken her time 2-3 hours to really do a better job. But her job here is apparently amateur. It's so bad.
