Valerie is a highly skilled professional who keeps her salon clean and safe, taking 1 customer at a time during the pandemic. Got a French Tip pedicure the other day and felt very safe. Both of us had our masks on the entire time.

I am so happy that I found Valerie. I have been desperately searching for a nail salon on the Coastside that can do a full set with gel color that doesn't look like a hot mess. I called to make an appointment and Valerie got back to me right away and we set up a date via text. She even gave me a courtesy reminder text the day before! Her shop is in a great location with plenty of free parking. Upon entering her salon, I could not help but notice how clean and organized the shop was. All of the Covid safety protocols were in place as well. She had me pick out my color and provided a huge selection to choose from. She took great care in asking me what shape I wanted, the length, and if I was happy with how they looked during the entire process. She is an absolute master at her craft. She takes her time and does not rush the process. She pays attention to details and most importantly, is very gentle with the tools. Valerie is so sweet and friendly, it is no wonder she has been in business for over 25 years. I am so glad to have found her and have already set up my next appointment. Speaking of, make sure you make an appointment at least a week in advance as she books up very quickly and for good reason!

First of all, I have had my nails done in many salons. Val is outstanding! Not only are my mani/pedi's wonderful, I also had Val do permanent makeup on my brows, lips and eye liner. I am amazed how the makeup not only looks great but stays on. I had this done in a plastic surgery office years ago and it was gone in 2 weeks. I was told my skin "rejects the ink." NOT TRUE! I have had numerous compliments giving people Val's card every time. You must call Val to book ahead since she is very busy. Her shop is cute and clean. She works very long hours and takes great pride in her work. Love her!!!!

Valerie is the best! Her shop is immaculate and she is kind, courteous and professional. Valerie's prices are very reasonable. I'm always extremely satisfied with my pedicures and she keeps my eyebrows on point as well. I love her! PS...Make an appointment because she's always booked. I've never had to wait because she respects my time.

I was referred here by a friend and I couldn't be happier. I had gotten my nails done elsewhere just days prior but the result left much to be desired. Valerie is amazing. She analayzed the situation with my nails and explained to me step by step of what she was going to do. She's also extremely meticulous & gentle which is super important for me because I have sensitive fingers and when it comes to filing, I tense up sometimes. Also, I'm someone who's really indecisive, and her HUGE selection of different colours and finishes and powders and polished and EVERYTHING, made it hard for me to choose but she was super patient with me and even helped with recommendations according to what I like. The price was the most I've ever paid, but I'm not even mad because I can tell she has taken the time to hone her craft and really be considerate of what her clients are requesting. And to me, that's really hard to find.

I was referred by a friend that has been going to Valerie's Nail Salon for a couple years now so I decided to make my first appointment with her. (She doesn't take walk-ins btw) By far she gave me the best customer service I could ask for! I was very pleased with the results and the attention to detail. Here is a photo of my glow in the dark acrylics with gold flakes. Amazing work. Highly recommended!

This is me second time coming to this establishment. Valerie is professional, nice and she does a very good job! I only come here to get my toe nails done (gel shellac) and she charges $45.

i have been going to Valarie's Nail Shop for quite a long time. She consistently does such a good professional job . She knows what she is doing and understands that one size does not fit all .

Very happy with how my nails turned out, my manicurist is such a sweet lady (she said she was the manager so I'm think it was Valerie) I wanted a different colour on each nail, was a bit worried going in they might be annoyed as it was my first time going to Valerie's but she was more than happy to help me pick out what colours I wanted. Payed a lot of attention to detail and kept making sure they on point !

The last time I was here, a woman who did not speak English gave me a pedi. When she was done, she walked away and starting cleaning up and arranging things in a supplies room. I sat at the foot bath area for about 10 minutes and then called, should I go to the drying area? The owner called out that the manicurist would be right back. 10 minutes later, I call out again asking what to do. The owner finally calls the manicurist out and she walks me to the dryer machine. When I got home, I found a smudge on one of my big toes.

I absolutely love Valerie's salon. It is such a cute place and the customer service is great. Valerie herself is such a kind woman. The women working there do their best to meet your needs and make your nails beautiful. My mom and I come here all the time to get our nails done and we just love it!!

This is a long overdue review for this gem of a place in Pacifica. Since moving to Montara a year ago I have been here twice and tried other places when I coulent get over Devils Slide for some accident or holiday traffic or just due to having a four year old and my schedule being unpredictable. Every time I went somewhere else on the coast I regretted it. Lifted nails, horrible color choices, etc. but this. This is the holy grail. Valerie has every color and powder under the sun, or fog in Pacifica's case. Last weekend I called on a Saturday asking for her first appointment on Sunday thinking no way she's open Sundays. Well, she was and she drove in to take me. At 8:30!!! I was stoked. Valerie is so friendly, the place is clean and good luck trying to choose your color. There is just tooooo many. She did an amazing job and I just know this is my place. No need to try anything new out here on the coast.

I just recently moved to Pacifica and have tried most of the nail salons in the area. Valerie's Nail Salon has exceeded my expectations. The ladies that work there do a wonderful job, always on top of the latest trends too. The nail polish is high quality stuff which sometimes you can tell when it's not. I love their hospitality and also the quiet and beautiful salon and atmosphere. I highly recommend this nail salon.
