Camille Wray Went to this nail salon in a pinch to get my friend and I’s acrylic fill set done. We had an appointment at 3:30p and wasn’t see until much closer to 4pm. With that being said, after we picked out colors and found out that on top of the $50 for a full set, it’s $5 for a gel color that was never even dried with a UV light. After we sat down to start what we thought would be a relaxing experience, she about files my friends and is nails off with how hard and FAST she was going. She then proceeded to ask about our nails length and when we showed her that we wanted coffin shaped nails that are a little longer than “short” and she immediately stated that it would be $15 up charge to cut less of the fake nail off. So if you’re keeping track, we’re at a total of $70 for each of us. I was about to walk out after I saw what was next... she then put the acrylic powder on our nails in 4 different uneven sections that made my nails looks worse than when I started. All together, I will have to say that this is THE worst experience I’ve ever had at a nail salon. We had such high hopes with it being in THE MIDDLE OF DOWNTOWN PALO ALTO, but I guess not. Save your money and go to San Jose for your nails. Not worth it. While she was nice, it doesn’t make up for quality

lisa hinchman I wish I could put a photo of my nails. I gladly spent $60 expecting my nails to look great for my niece’s wedding. Within 24 hours, three of the nails had broken off, despite that I was only attending social gatherings ( nothing hard on nails). Very disappointed.

Natalie I really enjoyed my experience at Kims Salon (now at 174 University ave). I got my gel nails removed and she and Tammy took time and care doing it. Will be back! The salon is also lovely, with nice wood finishes and is very clean.

Hud Huynh After months of searching for a nail technician Ive finally found her! At Kims Nail Care, Tracy is hands down the best and goes above and beyond to make sure she gets the job done right. You can really tell she takes pride in what she does, gets into those spots you mostly have to tell people to do and most importantly shes quick! Thank you Tracy for the beautiful nails and I will definitely see you soon!

Allison Feinstein Negron Overpriced and poor service. Only worth going to in a pinch. It felt dirty to pay $65 for a basic manicure/pedicure that took too long by an inexperienced “technician.” Given the competition, I’m surprised this place is still open.

Tuane Quintella I have been to Kendras twice now and both times got amazing service and beautiful nails! Staff is super nice and incredibly talented. Its my go to nail salon now!

Marjory Ruiz I went to Kendras last week for a standard mani-pedi. I called ahead on the same day and made an appointment. The staff were extremely friendly, both on the call and in person, and my pedicure has held up great, which is why I am giving this place 3 stars. I am greatly disappointed about the quality of the manicure in particular. One person started my manicure, and as soon as another customer came, this person left to attend the new customer. Normally this would not be a problem, but the first person failed to communicate with the second person who did my manicure, and as a result, the cuticles on my left hand were left untouched. Additionally, the manicurist left a huge unpainted gap between the base of most of my nails and the base of the polish, and sloppily layered on the different coats of polish (see photos). Exactly 1 week after the manicure, I took new photos of my nails, showing how while the tip of my nails still look nice, the base, especially on my right index finger looks atrocious. I suspect that had I gotten gel polish, they would have taken more of a care with the look of the finished product. Anyway, if you are getting a normal mani-pedi, please do not come here!

Kelsea Brittain I really wanted to love this salon. Everyone was very friendly, Kendra was kind and spoke to all the customers. However, my gel manicure and regular pedicure were very messy, a couple of my fingers have cuts from the cuticle cutter, other nails look like they did not even get the cuticles trimmed. There are bumps and visible debris under the top coat of gel. The nail tech I had did not completely take off my previous gel manicure and just painted over it, causing it to look uneven. Unfortunately, my gel manicure is already chipped after less than a week as well. The friendliness of the salon would have me consider giving them a second try but I’m definitely disappointed!
3 /5
Emma Moslander I have gone to 4 other nail spas in Menlo Park and none of them are as great as Kendra’s Spa! I always used gel on my fingernails and couldn’t grow my nails out past my fingertip. Kendra recommend that I change from gel to powder-dip and both times that she’s done them, I have been super satisfied with the outcome. I am very, very rough on my hands and my nails lasted 3.5 weeks! Her nail spa is now my ONLY go-to nail place in Menlo Park - went today with my mom and sister! She did my request for an ombre Christmas nails and LOVE it! The cost to get a powder-dip is $70.00 - $60 for the job + a $10 tip! I would recommend 1000%! ❤️

Emma Krasovich Amazing gel manicure! Been to other nail salons in Menlo Park, but this was my favorite experience yet.

The other ladies who work here, are also very talented and take care of their clients with high quality products and clean tools. I have been a devoted client of Jennys for several years and I would not go anywhere else for my mani-pedi services.

Lindsey Tee Jenii is AMAZING!! I’ve had my dip powder manicure for 3 weeks now and my nails are still PERFECT! Normal growth, and no chipping or lifting at all. I’ve gone to several nail salons over the years and I’ve never made it 3 weeks without having at least one or two nails lifting. I also love that Jenii’s dip manicures don’t use UV light (many salons still use UV light for the top coating of dips). My skin is very sensitive and gets easily irritated and itchy from the UV light machines, so I’m grateful Jenii doesn’t use that. So excited to come back soon! I don’t even live near Mountain View but I’m determined to prioritize a visit to Jenii whenever I can!

Char P. A colleague and I had decided to get our nails done on a really cold Sunday; it was last minute, but we were able to reserve an appointment on their online service platform. It was fairly easy. I had gotten a regular mani and a Trendy pedi; my massage was not as satisfying as I had expected it to be. They had also run out of the neon color I wanted so I had to choose a different one. The staff were really nice even though they were really busy. I do like how my nails had turned out. They had a lot of color options, and Im okay with my service.
4 /5
Niki I have come to this place multiple times over the years, but my recent visit has made me decide not to come back to this business unfortunately. I found a significant discrepancy between what was listed on their website and what they charged me despite me pointing this out. For example, I was charged $15 for a paraffin treatment that is listed for $10 on their website. Furthermore, I requested an express pedicure that based on their website includes a 5 mins massage, aromatic mineral soak, and stimulating hot towels none of which i received. When I pointed this out, I was told their menu has changed and shown a pamphlet different than what is on the website. When I pointed out that the printed pamphlet she was showing me still included the mineral soak, she told me they have stopped using the soak since it’s bad for your skin :))

Psomí If i could give 0 stars I would. I went in to get an acrylic set taken off and am horrified at the state of my nails. I paid 20$ for them to damage my nail beds. My poor nails would be in better condition if I had bitten them off.
1 /5
Susan Hough This is what my nails looked like after my manicure. My nails needed to be trimmed but were long enough that they did not need to be cut to the quick like this. (The first nail was cut too short so I figured I would have to live with them all being short, but the rest were even shorter than the first.) I came in around 5pm so there should have been plenty of time, but they mostly seemed interested in closing shop early. More to be said, but Ill stop there.

Rania Johnson Ivy does a perfect job every time! She is the first person I’ve gone to for dip nails that is able to make them look thin and natural. She has attention to detail (I’m picky) and is always learning new techniques. She is also very careful with removal of dip manicures so that my nails are never damaged. I’ve seen a number of technicians for pedicures and they have always done a careful, thorough job. The salon is clean and welcoming. I highly recommend it!

Ryan Sun Nancy is really great, she’s the only one I trust to cut my hair after having a bad experience elsewhere (I have long hair fyi). She’s meticulous and makes sure the length and layers are even, even when it’s very busy. Prices are so low and I hope they stay in business a long time so I can come back. (She’s very busy since she manages everything herself with no front desk receptionist, which is probably why prices can be so low, so if you are understanding and patient about that, it’s so worth it and the best place I recommend)

Micah Alon Horrible experience. I came to remove my Gel polish and they refused to give me nail strengthener.

Sabina A I did powder nail extensions with ombre design with a spa pedicure at this salon. In total it took 2hours - in the end it looked really good - lots of compliments. Powder extension and ombre turned out to be complicated but Truc handled it so well. She’s is a real professional. Spa pedicure was amazing too - clean fast and good color. my only complaint is that while we were discussing and doing the nail extensions i didn’t get to enjoy foot massage . Perhaps next time I’ll ask to stop the mani for 5 min for it. A week later - still looks good. Free flip flop for multiple use is also TOP! Looks like I’m a regular here .

I took the risk to go somewhere new for my wedding nails and I am SO happy I did. Mai did my manicure and Tiffany did my pedicure. I did a mini French tip gel for my fingers and a crisp white for my toes. Both were absolutely amazing. Fantastic selection of colors, beautiful space, and incredible care and attention to detail. All of my nails looked perfect! I actually didn’t take photos immediately after but I just took a photo two weeks later (after a wedding, honeymoon, lots of packing/unpacking) and they still look perfect.

Julia Yarygina I want to preface this review by that I have been to this nail salon before and had a great experience that’s why this was a two star review. When I went on 10/30 I didn’t have a great experience. First of all I had an appointment at 5:30, and I wasn’t able to be serviced until 5:45. I completely understand that and didn’t mind it. But since the nail tech was rushing to make up the time she was on edge and not careful. During my cuticle removal process, she squeezed the lemon that was in the cuticle water on my dry hands and my hands were burning. Then, when it was time to apply my gel polish she was rushing so fast I felt like my nails were not cured properly. I tried to bring that up but she assured me that they were. Additionally, I went with a friend who had someone else and she had a great experience. She even got a hot towel at the end of her service and my tech just ran away without giving me a hot towel. Which if my nails were done properly I wouldn’t have minded that. But it’s been less than 1 day and my nail is peeling off and another one is chipped. I have gotten gel nails done for years and this has never happened to me before.

Sandy was fun to talk to and she made my nails look super cute! They have tons of gel nail color and cool designs! They really focus on toxic-free and natural products. I would definitely come back!

Lily Chiu I had a fantastic experience with Sandy for a sit-n-dry manicure. I was in a rush, and she did an amazing job! Not only was she quick, but the quality of her work was top-notch. Sandy applied the polish perfectly and added a beautiful design that really stood out. I loved how attentive she was to my preferences, making sure I was happy with everything. The salon itself was clean and well-organized, which added to the overall positive experience. If you need a fast yet fabulous manicure, I highly recommend booking with Sandy at Xanh Nail Spa! I’ll definitely be back!

Jiwon Lee left me with a giant hole in my nail that will take weeks to grow out. this is what happens if i paint nail polish over my screwed nails edit: the younger ladies are fine. the older ladies have pretty bad eyesight and should not be doing nails at that age. both times i have gotten them done they have done something bad, like ripping out all my cuticles and causing 1~2 weeks of bleeding or dremeling my entire nail away

Emiko * I recently had a fantastic experience at Xanh nail salon. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The salon was spotless and had a soothing atmosphere. My nail technician Sandy did an amazing job on my ombré manicure, paying attention to every detail. My nails look perfect and have received so many compliments. I highly recommend Xanh for anyone looking for top-notch nail services!

Amber Botello Excellent customer service, never felt rushed and they were very attentive. They had a lot of patience with my daughter and her many requests. The price is worth the experience so do not expect this to be a budget friendly, rushed nail salon. My husband agreed that the place smelled and looked clean, it’s in a great location for a dinner or lunch date after getting pampered .

Quinn Miller Update: Went again after a diff salon wrecked my nails. Pannika did the most beautiful job ive ever seen. She gave me the princess treatment and rescued my nails with care. Original: Vanna did a beautiful job rescuing my nails from the work of another Palo Alto salon. I will be going here from on. The salon is beautiful with soothing lighting vs the harsh lighting of many others. Wonderful attention to detail!

Massy Safai Outstanding and very professional staff. Exceptional in terms of quality of service and cleanliness of the salon. I have been doing my nails and eye brows with Annie, the manicure and pedicure are excellent. She is always suggesting new colors, new treatments and so thorough with every service. She does an amazing job with the eye bro waxing and other waxing services. The salon is quiet and relaxing. I can easily say it is the best salon in Palo Alto or mid peninsula. Kudos to the staff and the management!

Judit Pacheco I’m giving them at least 2 stars because their customer service was above and beyond. Super sweet and the place is beautiful. Unfortunately I was unhappy with the quality of work and the fees. I got charged extra because my nails were “long” when I had asked for short….there’s lint stuck on my nails and she kept wiping it and re painting them. I didn’t say anything because it took almost 3 hrs for a simple set and I was not going to stay longer. Way over priced also, for a gel pedicure and this set I got shown in the picture.

Alec Morales I’ve been here twice and always such a good experience. This time around, I got my nails done by Lynn! She was very detailed and did so great on my nails. She did the nails better than the Pinterest photo I showed her! I’ve never had my nails this good before! Will definitely going back here.

Apoorva Dixit Tammy did my manicure and Lin did my pedicure (both gel)! I also got my eyebrows + upper lip waxed here. Im very happy with my nails and the waxing! They spent time with me helping me figure out what kind of a look I wanted for my friends wedding, suggested some ideas that I really liked and ended up going for! The atmosphere here is so nice, everyone is friendly and patient and hears you out. I also brought my boyfriend here who hasnt had manicures before and he was really nervous at first but they were really kind and explained the whole process to him and chatted with him throughout his manicure. Great place!
