I’ve been going to Oh My Salon and Spa in Palo Alto for a while now. The service is exceptional! I’ve received mani/pedi’s as well as getting my hair cut and styled.
Leo does a meticulous job at my manicures. I get dip powder to keep my nails long and strong. Any design I bring, Leo is able to replicate it. His attention to detail is amazing! My manicures do not chip or break, which I appreciate. If you have any designs, bring it to Leo and you will not be disappointed!

Alan cuts my hair since 2021. He is a master craftsman who has an artistic vision. I went to chain haircut places for years and the variation is very high, but not with Alan. He helps you select the best style and meticulous implements it each visit. I appreciate his professional approach and recommend. My wife also uses Allen for haircut and color, and she also appreciates his skills.

A truly fantastic experience from start to finish. I haven’t been to a nail salon this wonderful in a while. Everyone was kind, professional, the pedicure was excellent and quality detail oriented. I can’t believe they have a full bar with complementary drinks as well!! What a gem of a location. Will absolutely be back here.
