“I have been coming to TOE for almost a year and every time my nails and toes have been gorgeous. I get gel for both mani and pedi. The staff is experienced, friendly, and efficient. I live in San Mateo and think that this is hands down worth the drive.“

“I visited this place for a head spa after seeing one of their social media ads about a special offer. I thought it would be a nice way to treat myself to a relaxing and pampering session, so I decided to book it. Overall, it was a good experience, although I’m still not completely sure whether it was fully worth the price.

The staff member who assisted me was very warm, kind, and helpful throughout the session. Even after the discounted rate, the total came to around $150 plus tip, for a service that lasted a little over an hour.

The experience started with a soothing foot soak in warm aromatic water, which immediately felt relaxing. Then came the head scrub and hair wash, along with shoulder, neck, back, hand, and arm massages. The whole session was calming, refreshing, and definitely made me feel relaxed and pampered by the end.“

“Mali is the B-E-S-T !!! I’ve been going to her for 20 years, which says it all. She is not only incredibly talented, professional, and consistently excellent at what she does, but she also has a wonderful personality. She is warm, kind, attentive, and always makes every appointment such a pleasant experience. I trust her completely and always leave feeling happy and confident. I highly recommend her!“

“I got my nails done (builder gel on fake nail tips) by Mimi and I really love them. She took her time and was very precise with the details without rushing. It looks really natural. I really recommend Mimi! Thank you! ❤“

“I have high standards when it comes to beauty services. I was in the beauty business myself for 34 years and owned a high-end full service salon. Now retired, It has not been easy to find dependable technicians for my own beauty needs.. I have been coming to first impression in Belmont for over a few years on a consistent basis and trust Sam over anyone else that has worked with me. She does exceptional work and pays attention to the fine details. She is always on time and I have never felt rushed. Above all, she is a very kind person and makes the experience a relaxing one. She is super gentle. The salon has a great vibe. The owner is constantly updating the decorations for the season and holidays and makes the customers feel welcome when they arrive. All the girls seem to work very nicely together and you can tell there is no gossip going on or negative energy. I highly recommend First Impression in Belmont!“

“I’ve been going to Lux for a while, Truce always does my manicure and she’s amazing! today I had the pleasure of meeting Hannah and wow, she is incredible! She did both my pedicure and waxing, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Hannah is not only highly professional and skilled, but also so warm and friendly that she instantly makes you feel comfortable. Honestly, this was the best experience I’ve had yet. If you’re booking at Lux, do yourself a favor and ask for Hannah, she’s amazing!“
