Had a great first experience at Yarco Studio with Daniela! I arrived about 10 minutes early for my appointment and barely had to wait we actually started a few minutes before my scheduled time. Daniela was friendly, professional, and took her time with my structured gel manicure. She also took before and after…

Exceptional service! My gel mani and express pedi turned out perfect. The staff is gentle, professional, and genuinely skilled. Plus, it’s the only salon in the Bay Area I've been to that actually prioritizes cleanliness. I'll definitely be back!

I love this place because my manicures always last so long. I go once every 4-5 weeks. Everyone is super friendly and accommodating as well. If your nails grow fast like mine and have been considering getting a Russian manicure, go here!

I don't normally get manicures, but I really wanted to try a Russian manicure so I decided to splurge and booked an appointment online. The process was very easy and I was able to get an appointment the next day. Evelina was very meticulous and the results were exactly what I was looking for - classy, professional,…

My nail tech was Alena, and she was very detail oriented, friendly and efficient! Loved my French tip manicure and will be coming back for sure. She even gave me a little gift as a first time customer :)

This is my second visit to Yarco Studio in Mountain View. I’m new to the Bay Area and was excited about finding a new salon. My Gel Mani was with Alena who did an amazing job!

I usually love this place, so it really disappoints me to write this review. The technician was very nice and polite, but the French manicure itself was not good. The service cost $100, plus an extra $15 just for the French – so $115 in total. Unfortunately, the quality did not match the price or the title of “Top…

I have gone to Yarco several times and they do a very good and thorough job. Each manicure takes at least 1 hour and they spend most of the time very carefully doing nail and cuticle work. It is very clean inside and they use clean and hygienic tools.
