High pricing for low quality nail polish. You’re better off going to another salon instead. If something is wrong with your nails, it’s automatically your fault in their eyes. Just look at the other reviews with the owner responding back. Phone number listed above doesn’t work, it’s hard to get into contact with somebody.

I just found my new favorite nail salon. Ivy handled my nails with care and amazing attention to detail. She created exactly what I was looking for and I am so impressed by the way she shaped my nails. I love my raindrop/bubble nails!

My first time there and the service was great. I came in with busted nails 😅 but Cindy properly removed and repaired my nails that were damaged. I highly recommend and will be back!

The shop is clean, the location is very good, and most importantly, the staff are lovely and very attentive to their work.✨❤️

This place is very hygienic and has great service. The manicurist was professional and skilled. I really loved my nails after all. The design is beautiful and stand out!

I would give zero stars if I could . I received a gift card for my birthday so I made an appointment for a gel manicure with Chery . I arrived to my appointment and she was frazzled , she said it had been very busy. She started to remove my gel with the drill which is always a bad sign . The proper way to remove gel is by soaking ( after removing the top layer with a file or drill which). A couple nails in I told her it was hurting and she seemed to be rushing. She said she wasn’t rushing , she had an hour to work with me and that she could soak my nails for an extra $15 which I of course declined. $15 is insane in itself, but even more so to do something they’re supposed to do anyway . By the time she got to my thumb the drill skipped three times which hurt and I just said “ we’re done”. I grabbed my things and got up . She said “ I’m sorry , we just have to charge you for what we’ve done “. I told her I wasn’t paying for anything . I left with grown out polish on one hand, and half removed gel from the other .

The manicure was horrible That’s the horrible nail salon that I met

I had a gel overlay done with Melissa and she was amazing! I highly recommend. Update: Had another one done with Abby and Chery and they’re also amazing!! Great attention to detail and so friendly!

Requires cancellation via instagram despite taking appointments online. Too complicated. Many hoops.

I have been going to Nail Box monthly since May and have had wonderful experiences each time. Ananya is incredible and detailed and makes sure you have a great experience! The other techs that also work there are extremely sweet, helpful and do a great job! Highly recommend!

I loved this place the best attention the best people sooooo nice and friendly

Love this place. Ananya is so quick with her work and really takes time to make sure it’s perfect. Have and will come back for sure!

Absolutely love going to Nail Box I’ve been going to Ananya a little over a year now and absolutely love it! She takes care of the little details and makes sure you’re well taken care of. The other girls that also work there are extremely sweet and helpful! Overall a 10/10 experience I recommend everyone to get their nails taken care of here!

I've been seeing Ananya at NailBox since 2022 and she has completely changed my nails! After years of acrylics my nails were so brittle. After some time of getting gel over lay with Ananya my nails are so strong and have so much growth! I've always had great, professional service and look forward to my visits because I know I'll leave with great nails.

Nail Box is my go-to nail salon! They know how to do everything especially on trend stuff like: chrome, hard gel/builder gel, intricate nail art/design, and gel X, (which is hard to find in San Mateo!) I go to Ananya for my finger nails - she’s the best! & Cherry for my toes, also amazing!! I see other nail artists here do amazing work too! The salon is cute, and easy parking right across the street. I definitely recommend nail box for all your nail needs.

I love nailbox! The vibe of the place is so peaceful. I love that it isn’t your regular fast pace salon. Each artist is personable and can cater to everyone’s needs. They are more art based so prepare yourself with some good inspo photos and watch your vision come to life! The owner is super sweet and shows how much she cares. Recommending nailbox to all my family and friends!
