Mangosteen Nails & Spa - Palo Alto (CA)

Cindy Knapp This place does such a great job, no matter who I see. My gel routinely lasts 3 weeks or more without lifting! As far as the other comments about the manager, I have never seen her be anything but nice to everyone in the salon. Sometimes they are insanely busy so be sure to call ahead.

Yuki Huang My mom and I have been coming to Hygia for a few years now and the service has always been exceptional. We usually always get the basic manicure and the deluxe pedicure and they always take care of us so well! All the nail techs are so sweet and give great attention to detail from start to finish. Also, pricing is very reasonable for this area! Even at times when I’ve been clumsy and messed up my polish while it was drying, they’ve been super attentive in offering to fix it right away. You can just tell that they care about their customers and how well of a device they’re providing. Would definitely recommend going if you haven’t already!

Landy Luna I found Orchid Nails 2 years ago (after struggling with several other nail salons in the Bay Area) and never left! I’ve been getting my nails pretty regularly since then and have tried gel, dip and acrylic. I switch back and forth and they are always so kind, accommodating and make feel happy and relaxed after my appointment. They always make space for me, try any designs I bring and change my nails in the shape and thickness I want. I have brought my family and my close friends and they all have absolutely loved them! Highly recommended!

Jennifer Diaz Michael did a beautiful job on my gel x nails! He would do one nail, then checked in with me about the length, shape, base color, and the color of the French tip before doing the whole hand. I love how they turned out and can’t wait to get another set at this location/with Michael. He pays attention to every detail. Also shout out to Nancy and the front desk attendant who were very kind and considerate : )

Jennifer Tellefsen I’ve been coming here for many years. Nancy always does an excellent job cutting and styling my hair. I won’t go anywhere else.

Reyna Nava Love this place, great work and really good colors, Tom is amazing and hes wife is really good to. One time I had a different lady do my nails and she didnt do a very good job, so I called to have them fixed and I set up an appointment and they did a great job a fixing them I even got to get the new colors they added, so in love with the glitter.

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!

Alyssa Yvonne Savig Definitely my favorite nail salon! Alicia is amazing and her manicures are honestly the best. She’s quick and precise, love her results! I come here every time and love it!

Karena Chan i never leave reviews but i need to let everyone know you could not find a better nail salon than merrys!!! i had an appointment at the nail bar next door and was a bit put off by the rushed energy of the salon and still had to wait so walked over to iconic nails. it was busy too but the moment i walked in, merry was super accommodating, sweet, and a general VIBE. you wont feel like just another customer. shes the most patient and willing to help you with your design and by the end of your visit, you feel like besties just yapping away (another customer and her were making plans for lunch!!). i am super picky about my nail art and she went above and beyond in every way, recording my preferences for next time and even letting me come back 2 days later to adjust and add charms. would give this salon 10 stars if i could.

Susan Akbarpour I’ve been coming to this nail salon for over 20 years now, and it’s hands down the best! The atmosphere is always friendly, clean, relaxing, and welcoming. They know me and all my family members by name! Buck and Helen, in particular, deserve special recognition—they’re absolutely amazing! Buck is incredibly attentive and ensures every detail is perfect, while Helen’s skill and precision always leave my pedicures looking flawless. She gives me brand new feet all the time ! Duke and Nikki are now my best friends after all these years. Their professionalism and friendly demeanor make every visit enjoyable. Highly recommend this salon to anyone looking for top-notch service and care!
