Bella Rouge is the best!! I've always had excellent manicure and pedicures there, and the manicurists are very gentle- I've never had so much as a cuticle nicked. They give you an amazing shoulder and neck massage when you get a manicure/gel, etc. and the pedicures are very clean and sanitary, as they use individual portable tubs filled with sudsy water, which are easily sanitized between clients. And the massage chairs are excellent. Only thing is that I wish they had a tv in the nail salon. Other than that, I have only good things to say and would highly recommend going here for your next mani-pedi! Read Less

Overall, not impressed.  The shop is really small.  When I was there, a couple of women were talking really loud and it was distracting.  The women in the pedi chairs looked bored.  For a routine gel manicure, 3 different women worked on my nails.  Not sure why they bother with the massage: I expect it on a pedi - or a bit of hand massage would be nice, but a half-hearted neck massage?  And it wasn't even a good one.Mani was OK.  Cuticles were dry within a day.  That massage time would have been better spent working some oil into my cuticles.  And parking is a big pain.  Won't be back.

Worst fill I've ever gotten. I am NOT by any means a brat when it comes to nails. I ask for a very simple service: a fill for acrylics, square shaping, short and clean. I came in on my hour long lunch break and was kept waiting. When I finally got into the chair, the lady used the wrong tool to remove my gel polish so it took 15 MINUTES to have the polish removed completely. I was then passed off to someone else who cut my nails, filed them, and did the fill. So sloppy and uneven...each nail is shaped differently. Then I was sent to another person who did the polish...did one of my hands, then had to go check someone out at the front and left me sitting there for over 5 minutes. I had to politely tell her I have to get back to work so if you could please finish with me, that would be great. She said sorry that they're so busy (there were 2 other ladies besides myself). $30, plus a tip, and over an HOUR later (just for a fill!!), I left feeling frustrated and irritated. Also, they only accept cash tips. Upon leaving, nails were unevenly shaped, the polish was sloppy; I will not come back.Update: I'm looking at my credit card statement online, and I was charged twice for this service. This happened because the receipt paper was out so she scanned my card twice but ASSURED me that I would not be charged. I'm furious. The crappy nails have now turned into a whole ordeal for me to handle to get my money back. Just ridiculous. Read Less

I had gone to another place in Larkspur for years and they never seemed to change their cd and had the same music playing over and over. This drove me crazy. I believe background music is so important for relaxation. Also, when they got busy, it felt like a factory. So I switched to this nail salon that is two minutes from my home and couldn't be happier. Their waxing job is extremely professional and gentle, and the pedicure I had was fabulous. I love how they use lemon in the water and of course the warm rocks are a great plus. The women are so kind and gracious as well. This is my new place, I don't miss the Larkspur salon at all. Read Less

This nail salon is the best in quality and consistency that I've ever been able to find! I always feel welcomed when I enter (usually walk-in, with no appointment), and I feel relaxed and satisfied when I leave. The prices are definitely reasonable, compared to many salons in Marin, and considering the longevity of the manicures and pedicures. I also love that they take their time, and give shoulder massages with manicures! I won't go anywhere else (well, except for their new location in San Anselmo!). It can be a bit challenging to park.

This would be a solid 4 but I'm giving it a 3.5 because after a few days, the polish chipped off on my toes. I believe I used the Zoya brand color. They need to update to higher end lasting brands. Recommended by a friend - I decided to give them a shot. Glad I did. They have 8 mechanical vibrating chairs. They also bring in a large tub of extra hot water which they line the tub with so that it is sanitary.  I was a walk in and was delighted  that they took me and my friend as well. The girls were friendly and all wore white jackets and kept the chatter to a minimum. Pedicures are $25.00 which is standard for the area. I would give them another shot, parking can be a bit tricky- street parking so get up there a few minutes early. Read Less

Best nail spot I have found in Marin.  (May have to round up to five after I give it a few more visits.)I am a fan of the pretty fingers and toes, and must admit since arriving in Marin, it's been tough.  I have had mediocre to bad experiences at nail salons from San Rafael to Tiburon to Mill Valley. I've seen some seedy places, polishes that never seem to dry (added acetone). I've  arrived at 10 am to an almost empty shop, and been told the next appointment wasn't until the evening.  I've been treated to some major mangling of cuticles and over trimming of nails by over zealous salon attendants that apparently want to change the shape of my fingernails (ouch!)  As a former city gal used to a deal, I have seen my share of suburban price gouging at places I liked, but just couldn't justify going to on a regular.Finally a place I can get behind!From Essie to Zoya, they have all the good polishes, nice, clean facilities, new magazines, massage chairs, and good prices. The very best thing here is there is the owners were nice (a walk in and they made it happen!)  and their end result is long lasting and pretty.  They even have kids pricing $25 mani pedis up to 11 years old.  They give a outstanding massage that is free with any service (including their simple manicure.)  Their attitude is very can do and the results speak for themselves.One major downside is parking around here is challenging. Very.  If you don't get one of the coveted 2 hour spots on Sir Frances Drake (out front) which were full when I arrived, your only option is a 40 minute spot on a side street.  Forty minutes (weekdays only, weekends it's not a worry) is not enough time for a mani pedi, so I had to choose s single service based on parking limitations. Boy, those Kentfield City Hall folks really don't want people to "stay a while" and enjoy Kentfield businesses. Of coarse, that is not the fault of Bella, but it may put a crimp in your efforts to comfortably come here and sink into the seats and enjoy. Read Less
