I feel I'm obligated to leave this review to save your nail from possibly getting a fungus or to save the salon owner from getting fined by the bord of cosmetology.I newly moved to San Mateo, and visited this salon.In terms of hygiene, this salon was in a very bad condition and completely against the Board of cosmetology guidelines!None of the manicure accessories were in sanitizing liquid, which increases the risk of nail fungus.On the other hand, to speed up her work, the manicurist does not put your hands in soap and water, nor does she agree or allow you to go wash your hands with soap and water!!!All nail cuticles were cut with a filing device, which should only be used for artificial or acrylic nails, as this can remove up to 3 layers of your nail bed and causes your nail to break from the middle! 2 days passed, my gel manicure started to chip!When I addressed these issues with Okiki ( I hope the name is spelled correctly), she said she doesn't argue and all her clients like this way.Please be aware that sanitizing all manicure and pedicure devices ARE A MUST!Thanks for reading!Service: Manicure

I've been here twice and Okie always does an amazing job. My gel mani lasts for 3+ weeks. She's very thorough and doesn't rush like other busier salons. I also really like the little machine she uses to take off the gel. It's less harsh on my nails. I recommend calling to make an appt since it's only her. Totally recommend!

I've gone here many times over the years and will always keep coming back! This is a neighborhood staple for me here in Foster City. These ladies have seen me through hair styling big updos for when I went to prom years ago to haircuts that have sustained me all these years. Oki is wonderful, great haircuts and great company. Highly recommend!! :)

I came here for a pedicure for the first time today and had a wonderful experience. I came in the morning so it was really quiet. I was able to relax and get my nails done. They charged $40 for a peddicure which I thought was reasonable. The place is close to where I live, so it's very convenient. I would definitely come back again!

Great job on removing acrylic nails & applying gel overlay. Very fairly priced too.

Okki does a excellent job on my gel manicure. Always reliable with many colors to choose from in a nice location. I also love how the salon has no chemical smell at all and it's relaxing as I zone out for an hour.

My sister and I did a walk in on a Wednesday morning for a gel manicure and regular pedicure. Even though Oki only had one cancellation she made time for both of us! She was very helpful getting us the exact colors we wanted and matching when we weren't sure. We both felt she took her time to make sure our nails looked *perfect* and did a great job prepping the nails ahead of time so I feel certain they'll keep for a long time. Further, she let us know what to do in between appointments to keep them looking fresh! She was very kind and gave us her undivided attention, despite being the only nail technician there. She even went so far as to decline another walk in, because she wanted to focus/finish with us. 11/10 would recommend and will *definitely* be going back.

Oki was very detail oriented and did a pretty good job for my gel manicure. However, for some reasons there were a lot of flies in the shop. Like a LOT... So many that I felt uncomfortable just sitting there as typically it's a sign of hygiene issues. There was nothing dirty in the shop as far as I could see and I hate to jump to conclusions. But hopefully they could really look into this and check what's causing the flies problem

Do a favor to yourself and never get a haircut here. I went to get hair there yesterday and I showed a picture of how I wanted my hair to get get cut and they really ruined my entire hair. I left the hair salon crying. I payed $45 to get my hair ruined.

Would not recommend for hair styling. I went in for beachy waves, and had called ahead to enquire that the stylist knew how to do this. She said she could do this. When I went in, I also showed her a picture to confirm that we were on the same page. But 10 mins into the appointment it was clear that the stylist had no idea how to do waves, and in fact was struggling to use a regular curling iron. It was hard to look in the mirror and watch her try to figure out how to use a curling iron. I had made this appointment for a family photoshoot later that day, and I will definitely not be going back here. I wish they were honest and could have just said that they do not know how to do it.Service: Hairstyling

Okki does a wonderful job with my nails every time. She is dedicated to her craft and is always pleasant and accommodating. This is the only nail salon I go to. I can expect good color selection, careful and gentle precision, a great foot massage, and an awesome pedicure that lasts!
