ANNABELLE SALON AND SPA PALO ALTO

"High quality mani/pedi services, in a relaxing well appointed salon. Best nail salon in South Bay Area. Great value!"

"My friend and I love getting our pedicures here. They have relaxing massage chairs and the pedicures are always great. They take reservations and are good about keeping to time and not taking a walk in 5 minutes before your appointment."

"I walk into the place, am greeted and judged in 10 seconds. Then another lady walks in and the world stops for her as she was only here one time before I learned. Anyway, I check in at the counter a few minutes later and receive a call a few minutes after that from the same lady I checked in with (DID SHE REALLY THINK I THOUGHT ALL ASAIN WOMEN SOUND THE SAME?) confirming my time of appointment after I let her know twice that I have already checked in with her at the front desk, she proceeds to walk from the back room to the skinny white lady, making sure she is taken care of the upmost. You come back to my chair to provide me with cold water to soak my feet in. More as the pedicure goes on. Update after pedicure had to correct some of the mistakes she did and she was pretty combative until the very end when she wants a tip that I did not end up leaving because honestly just do not like supporting judgmental people who have no idea that some of us are gifted, and some of us really take offense to being judged through someone’s mind when they are a genuinely kind person coming into a new place for her with the hopes to have a genuine experience, even though the divine said, do not go there, but I needed a pedicure badly! Got back to my office 4 minutes later and look at my heels which were blackened because I am in my Nike slip on barefoot always these days. $85 for what? My toes painted?"

"My daughter and I went there for the first time. Both ladies who did our nails were great. They were super friendly and tentative. We both loved our nails. Thanks ladies for taking great care of us."

"Expensive, but SO WORTH IT! They really put in effort and take care of you here. First, my manicurist did my entire gel manicure from the pedicure chairs because my friend was getting a pedicure and that way we could sit next to each other the whole time. It was super comfortable and the manicurist had no problem giving me this special treatment (without me even asking for it!). Secondly, I was getting a snowflake-like glitter color and my manicurist smartly suggested that instead of all glitter, she could start with 1-2 coats of plain white gel polish, then finish with the glitter gel color, that way the mani didn’t have to look translucent. It came out looking so much better than it would’ve without the white undercoats! My manicurist was also super nice and easy to talk to. Finally, it’s now been 32 days since I got that gel manicure and my nails STILL HAVEN’T CHIPPED ONCE!!! This is by far the LONGEST LASTING MANICURE I’VE EVER HAD! And that includes dip manicures. That’s right, my gel manicure from Annabelle’s has outlasted all previous gel and dip manicures I’ve ever had. And I don’t go easy on my nails. I cook and clean almost everyday and can’t believe this manicure has held up for over a month. It’s incredible. I could not more highly recommend Annabelle Salon & Spa!"
