The place has discount on the weekdays.

The Universe Said "Next Door"…read more I walked in here frustrated. The place right next to this one had just wasted my time. I almost went home. I didn't. Good call. Same day, walk in, seated immediately. No pitch. No upsell. Just a stylist who actually listened and got to work. Here is where it gets good. He shampooed my hair. Gave me a scalp massage. Nobody asked him to. Nobody paid extra for it. He just did it because that is apparently how they move here. That detail alone tells you everything about the culture of this place. The cut was 30 minutes. Clean lines, intentional technique, exactly what I asked for. I have paid twice as much at places that delivered half as much. The space is spotless. Boutique energy without the attitude. If you have been sleeping on this place because the outside looks quiet, wake up. Some of the best experiences come through doors you almost did not open. I will be back. Probably soon.

Editing to add picture: I decided to try this salon twice…read morebecause my regular technician was busy. After the first visit, I noticed my nails were unusually weak and a visible 'ridge' began to grow out, but I didn't immediately understand why. I only got regular nail polish, no gel, with My. During my second visit, I paid closer attention to her method and realized the issue. Despite the technician's 20 years of experience, her filing is very aggressive. She over-files the natural nail bed using both a manual and an electric file, and uses excessive amounts of acetone. Just a few days after the appointment, a dark pink ring started to form, showing exactly the difference between the healthy nail growing in and the weakened one. It will take months for my nails to recover from this thinning; they are paper-thin, bending easily, and peeling in layers. I was treated very nicely during my visit, so it pains me that I won't ever be able to come back. I suggest being very cautious if you value your natural nail health.

I waited over a week to write this review because I wanted time to think clearly after the emotions…read morehave worn off. I called ahead to confirm they had availability for a regular manicure and went in April 4th at 5:30pm. I was told to sit at the only free (not clean) station with a chair that had the rotating fan blowing directly into my face (the base of the fan was 2 feet away from my chair). I said I only wanted a regular manicure (not gel or acrylic) and it was like bam, she knew she would be getting a smaller tip because it's a cheaper service. Wow. She rushed through the entire polish job and waited until AFTER base, two coats, and top coat to bring me a fan.... a weak little dollar store toy fan because apparently no one uses regular polish anymore so all the polish and fans (basically anything that's not gel) is from 7 years ago or something. The biggest SCAMMY activity is that when I went to pay, she said the service was $25. I asked her if it was for the basic manicure with no tip yet. She said yes. I showed her the website with the price being $20 and she said that it was to "make up for the rising cost of rent". I once again pointed out that in real time, the salon owned website said $20. She said she couldn't do anything because the owner wasn't there. Honestly, I should file something with the bank because I want them to investigate with my time stamped screen shots of their website prices after they charged me an itemized price for a service that is not what they advertise. As for the QUALITY of their work? LOOK AT THE BUBBLES. Their nail technician looked at the bubbles in my nails and thought "yup, that looks right". The dents are on me because I was trying to get my card (since I brought $25 cash for the service and tip, but that was for their fake online $20 price) and the girl watched me struggle with my wallet after I explained to her why I only had cash and wasn't ready to use my wet nails to get my card out of my cardholder. Cool, enjoy the extra $5 you made on that transaction at the cost of behaving like charlatans and thieves.

I came in as a walk-in for a gel manicure because this salon looked promising. What I experienced…read moreinstead was painful and honestly upsetting. I was initially seated with one nail tech, I believe his name was Leo, who randomly decided someone else would take over. He didn't go help another client--he just stopped working on me and passed me off, which already felt unprofessional since he sat down few seats down from us just chatting. The second nail tech, Tina, was extremely rough from the start. I had to pull my hand back and say "ow" multiple times. She filed aggressively without checking length or shape and repeatedly filed my actual skin. Halfway through, my fingers were burning. She wasn't wearing gloves so as she was cleaning the polish up, she was using her nails that didn't look clean to dig up my skin and polish. 2nd, The color wasn't what I asked for, but I agreed to it anyway because she kept showing me options that weren't even close to what I requested. I was trying to be respectful and not cause a problem and just settled for this color. Furthermore, the polish application was a mess. She constantly repainted and removed polish on every nail using a buffer, nail file, and even a paper towel. I've never seen nail polish removed that way.. weird. The final result was bumpy, uneven, and sloppy, with polish all over my skin. By the end, both of my thumbs were swollen and slightly bleeding. Instead of stopping, she kept filing my skin and drilling around the sides, making the pain worse. I stayed patient thinking that she'll clean it up properly, but I realized this was truly her final work. At this point, I let her finish and asked for her manager. When I asked to speak to the manager, the nail tech became defensive and started yelling in her own language. I didn't cause a scene and I wasn't rude, but the change in tone was obvious and made me so uncomfortable that I started crying. The manager offered and gave store credit, but that doesn't change the fact that my skin flesh has been filed down multiple times and I left in pain. I walked out with injured fingers and nails that looked extremely sloppy. Please listen to the bad reviews. I'm not sure how this place has a 4-star rating. A nail appointment should never end in pain, and tears. I will never return and wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

The location is right off of Burlingame ave, there is street, metered parking all around unless you park on a Sunday, then parking is free! The ambiance is nice, their pedicure chairs have to be my favorite. I've never been in a more comfortable chair that feels and looks luxurious. For a regular gel pedicure, they charge $55 which included a hot stone massage. The lady who did my toes, confirmed if the shape looked good and was patient when I was a little indecisive with which color to go with, which I appreciated. My toes came out great, so much better than what I walked in with! Definitely worth it, if you're looking for a nail salon that offers a relaxing pedicure experience in Burlingame.

It was easy to schedule an appointment through their website. I am so happy I did and can't wait for my next manicure! I decided to go back to my natural nails so I got an acrylic removal and a gel manicure. I can't state enough how impressed I was with their attention to detail during the entire experience. They did not rush through the process and took their time to paint on the nail design I requested. I sometimes don't have a ton to chat about but everyone was nice and let me sit quietly listening to the music and watching people queue on the boba line outside. Needless to say, I highly recommend.
