Nails By Michelle - Palo Alto (CA)

Gae Beh Tonight at Kitchen Nail Bar Palo Alto, I had another incredible experience. I walked in close to closing—without an appointment—after a rough day, and the team welcomed me with open arms. Jolie* worked her magic on my Gel X nails with a chrome finish, and they turned out absolutely stunning. A special shoutout to Annie and the rest of the hardworking team for their kindness, efficiency, and top-tier service. As a loyal customer for over three years across the Bay Area, I truly appreciate how they always make me feel like a beautiful, confident lady. If you’re looking for exceptional nails at great value, I highly recommend this location!

Emily Mathison Having moved to the area in the past year, I hadn’t yet found a go-to nail salon…but needed my nails done for my wedding!! 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. I already can’t wait to come back and am so happy to have found my new favorite nail salon and be done with the search!

Bilyana Boyadjieva Annie did a perfect manicure for me. She is super careful, precise, and caring. The salon is clean, well kept and the atmosphere is relaxing. I will definitely be back soon.

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.

Prudence Jimenez Everybody from Kitchen Nail Bar come here instead! I come here every two weeks and it’s a beautiful salon. They take time perfecting each nail and they even have builder gel! Their prices are very good considering it’s in Palo Alto/Menlo Park. Everything is clean and sanitized and I can tell that they care about each customer.

Tapia Kyla They are always professional and so polite I love the whole team... Highly recommend especially my favorite Yvonne and Holly.. Tiffanie is the best with the wax

Truth Integrity The Nail Bar is an absolute gold mine! If you go here, expect nothing but the best. Leo did the most flawless acrylic nails for my mom, Judy—she absolutely loved the shape. She had been searching high and low for a great nail tech, and Leo is hands down the best she has ever had. Kim worked magic on my cat-eye nails, creating the best design I’ve ever had. Her attention to detail and precision with the magnet placement were outstanding. And let’s not forget the other Kim, who did my pedicure—she was so cute, spunky, and incredibly efficient! This is easily one of the best nail bars in the entire Bay Area. I’m beyond pleased with the service and can’t wait to return!

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 .

Richard Garingalao Dao has been doing my feet since i knew her! Love it! Good person too

coco svindland I was in Palo Alto for a trip and needed my nails done so I came here. What I can tell you is that Michelle is so amazing!!! I called her in the morning and she got me in quickly! I also was able to text her the color and length I wanted beforehand, and once I got there she had a few swatches for me to pick from! She is very skilled and efficient and I such a nice time talking with her. Her studio is also very clean and comfortable. I will defiantly be coming back when I’m back in town!
