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!
Best place in Bay Area.Very high quality of service.
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,…
I really liked my manicure from Lilia! She was very attentive to detail and checked in on me during the process
Great work. Love my new nails.
I had an amazing experience at Yarco Studio with Anna! She is amazing! She is very detailed and knowledgeable(and not to mention she’s quick!) I highly recommend booking with Anna for the perfect manicure:)
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 :)
Wonderful experience - only place I’ll go for a mani!
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! Let’s talk about the attention to clean service first - consistent clean/new supplies used; I was not worried at all about the salon’s care…
I love this no-bullshit salon. It is clean, efficient, and well operated. Highest recommendation for those who value skill over spectacle. The technicians operate with incredible precision and amazing attention to detail.
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 had amazing experience. -Professional -Clean -Chic -Nice Environment -Friendly Staff I would recommend this place, just give it a try and you will see the difference.
Amazing service and precision to detail! Staff is super friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend!
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.
Great experience! The nails are gorgeous and so clean 🤩
Professional and neat work. I feel relaxed and polished after my visit. I do recommend this place.
Evelina was amazing. Third time coming here and going to continue
Love this nail salon! Wonderful service and my nails always look fantastic after a manicure and pedicure at YARCO!
I’ve been coming to YARCO Studio for my manicures for the last year, and the quality is always outstanding. My nails look flawless and stay perfect for weeks. Everyone here is wonderful, but Rosa is my absolute favorite — her precision, care, and attention to detail are unmatched. She makes every visit a treat, and…
Great quality manicure that lasts at least three weeks. The look is distinctly different from the usual manicure, I get lots of compliments and have sent several girl friends to this salon
I get medium length gel manicure with Marine, I’ve never been disappointed. Service is excellent, careful but quick. Shape and length are consistent and she is very patient when I have small requests like shorter or slightly different shape mid-service.
I had an outstanding experience at YARCO — easily one of the best salons I’ve visited. The client service is top-notch: I was offered a complimentary drink from a wide selection, received a thoughtful welcome gift, and even the restroom is beautifully maintained and fully stocked. The manicure and express pedicure…
really liked the salon, I went to the master of Sivilia, did everything beautifully and evenly, good service
I just had my first Russian Manicure and Dry Pedicure and never in my life have I had such meticulous grooming. Literal perfection and my nails and nail beds look amazing. Apparently it lasts 3-3 weeks too because they do such a thorough job and I believe it. A little more expensive in total vs a normal nail salon…
YARCO Studio is the best! After not getting my nails done for a couple of months I desperately needed a manicure refresh. And thats exactly what I got with nail tech Siviliya. She made sure to check in with me throughout the whole process which I greatly appreciated. She paid attention to every detail and every…
I had my nails done, but after just 5 days, 4 or 5 of them started chipping. I contacted the salon and sent pictures—they said they could fix them. I booked an appointment for 5 days later, but when I arrived, they said they could only fix 2 or 3 nails, even though I had already explained the issue. I only mentioned…
Including today, I’ve now visited Yarco three times: twice at the Mountain View location and once in Los Gatos. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed every Structured Gel Manicure I’ve received so far. Today, Sunday, May 18, 2025, I returned to the Mountain View location and had the pleasure of seeing Irina. During this visit, I…
I have had very thin nails my whole life, so I need to keep my manicures maintained in order for my nails not to break often. I have been getting acrylic nail extensions for years and noticed that my nails were getting severely damaged from how rough acrylics are, so I decided to see if there are any nail techs near…
I normally don't get manicures, and so I came in for my first one when I was getting engaged. The staff did a great job answering my questions about how to best take care of my nails. I liked the manicure so much that I now pretty much constantly have my nails done. My favorite tech is Anna, and she always does a…
10/10 Hands down, the best manicure I’ve ever had. Top master Lena is the best. Very fast and clean service. Hygiene 100/10 They use single use nail files and sterilize their reusable kits which is crucial for me.
I had my first gel manicure ever with Anna at YARCO. I couldn’t be happier with the way they turned out. She shaped them perfectly to compliment my nail beds/hands and was meticulous with the gel application to make them look natural which is exactly what I wanted. Since it was my first time getting gel, she talked…
Had an appointment with Natali today, everything went perfect! Clean and professional nail tech, she was also really nice to chat with 🤭
Welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, medical grade sanitation, and the attention to details is UNMATCHED. I highly recommend NATALI! You will receive the very best care and your cuticles will thank you! Can’t wait for my next treatment!!!
To start off, the pictures speak for themselves and Russian manicures are just superior. I followed Yarco Studio on insta for quite some time but I decided to give them a try for a last-minute appointment. I'm typically quite particular about my nails and tend to run late, but even though I arrived 15 minutes behind…
Excellent services and technique! This was my first time going to a salon that does Russian manicures and pedicures and I was not disappointed. Though there was a slight misunderstanding about my bookings, they were so accommodating and able to provide all the services I wanted. Natali did my nails and Hely did my…
I’ve visited this nail salon three times now, and each visit has been nothing short of fantastic. Mlava consistently provides outstanding service with meticulous attention to detail, leaving me with clean and impeccably neat nails. The salon’s commitment to cleanliness is commendable, and the added touch of good…
I had an amazing experience at Yarco Studio. The work Yara did on my nails is absolutely fantastic; I couldn't be happier with the results. The staff is incredibly friendly and made me feel right at home. The salon itself is spotlessly clean, creating a relaxing atmosphere where I could truly unwind while getting my…
Great quality manicure and pedicure by Lena. Dry (e-file) technique. Took great care of cuticle. Awesome design of the place, very hygienic, very friendly. Very convenient appointment booking system. I visited them three times already since they opened in July and will definitely continue with them.
