“They’re always so kind. It’s like a family when you enter the shop. I’ve been going there for a decade even with the new ownership and they always treat my young daughter so nice.“

“I'm picky and have seen a lot of friends and family get very bad eyebrows. For a good job, I think you need great ink that doesn't fade into a strange red or blue color, and very importantly, a professional who has the artistic ability to make you look good. Every face is unique and mine is not symmetrical so finding someone who can make it look more symmetrical without being weird can be tough - takes me a while to do my own makeup! I finally settled with Anna and have come back to do a touch up a few years later. Even my facialist it's said it looks natural and is well done. It makes getting ready in the mornings so easy. I wholeheartedly recommend Anna.“

“Really great experience. The nail technicians did a great job - they are very detail oriented and make sure everything is to your liking. The space is really clean and tidy.“

“I like this place because it is really quiet. The staff are warm and friendly. They do a great job and always find a way to take me in without an appointment.“

“They really took the time to listen to my vision and execute it exactly how I asked, The salon was super clean, and the staff made me feel comfortable the whole time.“

“I’ve been coming here since 2021 and I love Sharon!! She has consistently been doing my nails for almost the entire 5 years. I usually come in with an idea and she helps me brainstorm on how to get the perfect look. She also not afraid to tell me if she thinks I won’t like a design which I LOVE because she knows me so well. I have my engagement photos this weekend and Sharon worked with me to make sure I get the perfect nails that, and I quote “will love looking at in photos for the next 20,30, 40 years!”

My fiancé also had a man-icure too and enjoyed it!“

“One of the lovely nail experts here came to my rescue and glued my broken french nail back together when it was very precarious ?

I said I would go back to get it full fixed/redone but didn't have the time before leaving on a trip so I just wanted to say thank you! And to customers this is a testament to their dedication to doing the job well and with care. ?“

“Love my new set of nails, Anna is great, love her work!!! It’s easy to book, nice quiet place, attentive personnel, 100% recommend them! They just renewed their stations and pedicure-chairs…looks amazing!!!“

“Super clean place and everyone was really nice. Helen did my pedicure and the massage was sooo good and longer than I expected, plus she was really patient with me even after I had requested to change my color after she had already started paining my toe nails. Kaity shaped my gel extensions exactly how I wanted, and Vivian did my nails quick but still super precise, checking in to make sure everything looked good. Definitely coming back!“

“Good solid place. It's bright, clean, friendly and nice. Easy to get and make appointments. Easy to park. Good shops nearby, especially Piazza's Market next door. Right off the freeway in a quiet strip mall. Tons of fresh new colors to choose from. I get some kind of hard coating with a natural polish color...nothing fancy.“

“I went with my mom to get a gel mani and gel pedi. Service was great and they were patient about our indecision on colors. They cut my nails a little shorter than I liked, but good service overall. I suggest being very specific about the length and shape you want.“

“I recently visited Debe Salon solo for a keratin straightening treatment, and I couldn't be happier with the experience!

My stylist Joanne was absolutely wonderful, patient, thorough, and incredibly diligent with every step of the process. You could tell she really takes pride in her work and genuinely cares about getting the best results for her clients.

The pricing is very reasonable and affordable, which is always a bonus.

I waited the full 48 hours before washing my hair, and wow the results speak for themselves. My hair feels soft, silky, and shiny. The transformation has been amazing, and I'm loving every moment of it! They use Keratin Complex products, which I think made a big difference in the quality of the results.

I'm already looking forward to coming back to Joanne for my next keratin treatment. Highly recommend Debe Salon and Joanne to anyone looking for a skilled, caring stylist at a great price! ?“

“Second visit with Tina .
This was my second time getting a manicure and pedicure with Tina, and somehow she managed to exceed my already high expectations! After my first amazing experience, I knew I had to come back, and I'm so glad I did.

Tina remembered exactly what I liked from last time and made the whole experience feel so personal and special. Her technique is absolutely flawless - my nails look like they belong in a magazine! The attention to detail, the perfect polish application, and the overall care she puts into her work is just outstanding.

What I love most is how comfortable and relaxed she makes me feel. It's like catching up with a friend who just happens to be incredibly talented at making your nails look gorgeous!

I'm already planning my next appointment because honestly, I can't imagine going anywhere else now. Tina has definitely earned a loyal customer in me. If you haven't experienced her amazing work yet, you're seriously missing out!

Can't wait for visit number three! ?✨“

“Allen T. was very professional and on time for Bob style hair cuts twice now. We were in total communications. The Semi-perm hair coloring I had in between the 2 hair cuts could be improved though. I thought Allen was suppose to ask me what color I wanted first. Instead, he chose a semi-perm hair color that was, as it turned out, right for me. The location was good for me and the place was clean & spacious. The hair cuts, especially the 2nd one, were the right length for me & the sideway bangs allowed me to dry without pins or hairspray to hold in place! Love that!“

“JJ is a new nail salon that has become my go-to in San Mateo. I love that they give a complimentary foot hot wax soak and calf massage for pedicures, and forearm and hand massage for manicures.“

“My hairdresser of 12 years left the business and its taken me 2 years and hundreds of dollars to finally find acsalon that I trust. From the wonderful front desk to the talented Denise i finally have my hair color and cut the way i want it. Denise listened to me and then added her expertise. So so so grateful. Everyone at the salon is personable. Denise made the experience relaxing. Thank yiu Denise and Strands ?“

“Thank you Jenny and Linda! My nails are so pretty in pink. I love that you guys were so nice and gentle and had positive energy and fun personality’s. Love and peace!“

“My monthly spot. Lyn is the best! I definitely recommend calling ahead and booking an appointment!“

“Kevin is an amazing gem of a hairstylist! This little hidden salon in a strip mall may not look like anything, but the service is top-notch. Kevin has a Dyson hair dryer, amazing shampoo massages, and perfected my blonde highlights 3 times until we got it right. Run, don't walk! Before and after photos show the brassy copper tones I wanted to get rid of, and the light highlights that sparkled when I left... Like their WiFi password says: I AM BEAUTIFUL!“

“They always do a great job. I get a pedicure with polish. There have been a few times I have had an ingrown toe nail and they have been able to remove the ingrown part.
They also do a nice job with my manicure.
They are always friendly.“
