I’m in Palo Alto for work and really needed a mani/pedi before Monday kickoff. Decided to patronize Michelle’s small business versus going to one of the bigger salons, and I’m so happy I did! She answered my request immediately, booked me the next morning, and took her time on my nails. We also had meaningful conversation, which even the most fast-paced person needs sometimes :) very grateful to have met a person like Michelle

I was in Palo Alto for a trip and needed my nails done so I came here. What I can tell you is that Michelle is so amazing!!! I called her in the morning and she got me in quickly! I also was able to text her the color and length I wanted beforehand, and once I got there she had a few swatches for me to pick from! She is very skilled and efficient and I such a nice time talking with her. Her studio is also very clean and comfortable. I will defiantly be coming back when I’m back in town!

Had a great experience coming here for the first time! Michelle has morning appointments if you want to get nails done before work. She asked me for colors before the appointment and had colors ready for me to try and pick before I got there. It was nice being able to try the colors instead of rushing to pick from a sample palette on the day. The place is nice and cosy and only works on 1-2 customers at a time so it feels private - I liked it a lot! Michelle was super welcoming and made me feel comfortable right from the start. Needless to say, she also has great skills and made my nails look even nicer than I expected :) Highly recommend!!

This was my first time getting silk nails and they look great! Michelle is very friendly and fun to chat with. She helped me find the perfect color and length. I will definitely be coming back!
