* * a moment ago I've been searching for a new nail salon in RWC and I’ve been impressed with Retreat. The atmosphere is calm and the staff are kind and patient. Not the typical experience I'm used to. My service was not rushed and Chloe was very I've been impressed by Retreat. The atmosphere is our appt ran over and she had a client waiting. Today was my second visit for a gel fill. My nails retained for 5 weeks with no chipping or lifting. Thank you, Chloe! I will be back for a fill next month.

Chloe is amazing! I'd come in after being very disappointed with what my previous salon had done. I saw a photo of Chloe's work in the reviews that matched exactly what I was looking for. She used the bubble bunny color (mix of the coveted bubble bath and funny bunny), saying that she likes to keep up with the color trends. It was clear that Chloe was very meticulous in her work, and didn't skimp on product when it came to adding additional coating for the nails to come out perfect. Will definitely be back to see her whenever I need my nails done!

I just moved to Redwood City so I just picked the nearest salon to me to try out. The care and attention to detail here is fantastic! I got a full set of acrylics and a pedicure and I am so happy with the result. I will definitely be going back!
