Teresas is a sweet place to have your nails done, they do an expert job, with wonderful hot rock massage. It has been there 25 years and is tucked away right in downtown Mill Valley, and there is plenty of parking. They are highly personable and although it is not glitzy they are top notch!!!!I highly reccommend them! Read Less

Teresa's is TERRIBLE. I wish I had checked these reviews prior to going. I just got the worst manicure and pedicure. Very lazy services and sloppy attention to both my feet and hands. The polish is all over my cuticles which weren't even properly pushed back or trimmed. I just got home and am already taking off the polish. A mess.Worst part - it's outrageously expensive. They charge $55 for a mani/pedi. I've lived in Pacific Heights for 17 years and have never paid more than $40! And that was at a nice, clean, spa-like salon.BIG FAIL!!! Read Less

Absolutely worst manicure in my whole life from the owner. I didn't realize just how bad it was until I had left due to the dark color. The nails were covered by the first coat, but the second coat was kind of slapped on somewhere around the middle of the nail not covering it on either side, and it started peeling off after 4-5 days.

I am a client of Teresa's nails for over 20 years...they treat me like family. They know my birthday and laugh at my jokes. A family business run by hard working people. Annie has become better and better over the years. She turned me on to Gelous nail gel. The Gelous lasts a long time and helps my nails grow. If you are good to them they may even read you your fortune. Read Less

What s wonderful experience! I can here on business and decided to get my nails done. The staff was so friendly and they massaged my legs the whole time while I got my finger nails done. It was so relaxing! Two of my nails melted from my hair blow dryer about an hour after getting my nails done and they let me come back and fixed it for free before my work meeting!  I highly recommend them. Read Less

The worst, most expensive manicure I've ever had!  Such a bad experience.  First, the owner was rough and kept cutting into my skin.  She kept picking at a blister I had on my toe.  When I asked her to stop (because it hurt and also, I didn't want it to get infected), she said okay and then preceded to go back at it, 2 more times!!  Also, she cut my nails so short that I'm worried I'll get an ingrown toe nail.  I wanted to just walk out, but they convinced me to stay and finish.However, they still charged me full price.  I will never go back-unsafe and unsanitary.  I don't think they know what they are doing.

An Australian considering relocating  to Mill Valley and first spa experience with my 10 year old daughter, I walked away slightly puzzled on price from this salon.I was quoted $35 med/ped for my daughter and $45 for self however after requesting Shellac manicure, walked out paying $125. Can someone please tell me whether $85 is standard price in California for manicure shellac and standard pedicure since I couldn't  get much explanation from the owners? Read Less

$35 for a pedicure and this is what you get:Cons- Massage chairs that don't work- Nonadjustable "massage" chairs set so high that at 5' 6" and your feet don't reach the water without slouching - The opportunity to convince them that they did not cut your cuticles as much as they think they did - Combined salt scrub/massage - Draining the water before the salt massage so you go home with salt all over your legs - Poor customer service ProsLong hand and foot massages Should have read yelp before going in.

I have recommended Teresa's Nails to all of my friends and thought it was about time I reviewed it here too...what a lovely place to be!  I found the salon a few years ago when I was making the switch to gels and haven't gone anywhere else since.  What other nail salon offers you gossips and ginger tea and feeds your parking meter for you when it's running out and your nails are wet?It's a clean, bright, friendly place to be and even though I've since moved to San Francisco, I still drive over the bridge to get my nails done here.

More like 2.5, but I rounded up in this case for basic cleanliness and visible hygienic practices.Not what I was expecting for a $30 ($35 with tip) pedicure.What was positive:-Nice atmosphere and pleasant staff-Wasn't intoxicated by fumes upon walking in or walking out-Lots of polish colors to choose from (OPI, GAP, ESSIE...)-Nice selection of trashy magazines to gawk at-Best part: having hot rocks rubbed on the soles of my feetWhat was negative:-$30 was pricey for the inadequate quality-Soaked my feet in a metal bowl instead of a specialty spa chair (even an offer to wait for a specialty chair would have been appreciated)-The clinician unnecessarily filed down my toenails (keep in mind that they were ALREADY short from a recent trim) and didn't bother with my cuticles (which I felt needed some attention...and still do)-All scrubbing, nudging, and trimming (the little that there was) was less than mediocre-The clinician didn't seem very experienced-Cash or check only (YES, inconvenient; I've run into this a lot with nail care salons)Essentially, I left feeling as though I could have done a better job myself. I still don't want to bare my feet (which is generally not the case after a successful pedicure), my cuticles have gone wild, and although the structure of the place is there, the quality parts that keep people coming back are not.

i've been going to teresas for close to 20 years. woah. and i'm not that old. it was actually my very first manicure as my mom's final attempt to get me to stop biting my nails - it worked! and i still return as often as i can time my need for a mani with a trip to mill valley.it's a family-run business with the most kind and caring people who really do genuinely care about their customers. it's a very sanitary atmosphere - clean chairs, instruments, etc , and i always see them scrub down the pedi bath after each use. i am very skeptical of those who blame teresa's for nail fungus. i've had only the best treatment and care with every visit over the years.yeah yeah, cash only, get over it. Read Less

My daughter got a nail fungus from getting a pedicure at Teresa's... There are a number of other clean and friendly nail salons in Mill Valley and as a father of two girls, I've paid for mani/pedi's at all of them at least once!Don't go to Teresa's this place is unsanitary. I walk by Teresa's Nails Care on my way home from work and have seen the owner emptying his dust pan of nail cuttings into the bushes.  That is just plain wrong.  It shows no regard for the proper disposal of waste.  It's gross! It makes you wonder what other corners they are cutting.... Read Less

This is the worst nail salon ever. DON"T GET WAXED HERE.I went here 3 years ago to get my nails done, and it pretty much sucked. Don't know what possessed me to go back but i thought ok for eyebrows - NOT. She butchered my eyebrows and waxed my cheek instead of my lip. Not to mention I'm still trying to get the excess wax off my face. Save yourself trauma and go somewhere else. Read Less

I really like this family-fun business. Their manicures and pedicures are done with care, and they are very kid-friendly. I bring my granddaughters here for a treat and they are treated very well. My manicures last a long time, and that's a good recommendation. I have not had any bad experiences here.There's another unique thing about this place. The owners care about the clients' lives, their health, their social lives, their dogs, and on and on. As a client I see newcomers come to the door, look in, and say, 'Maybe another time." What they see is a small opening, and the first glance puts them off. They need to go in and find all the warmth and good will of the place, not to speak of the excellent services. This is not your average nail place, it's a whole lot more fun. I even got directions from a client (a regular) about a short trip I was planning. It's that kind of place. Read Less

I just found this one!  I haven't been here in years, but I should pop in.  I went here for years, years ago.  Teresa is fabulous!  She is so great.  Such a great person/personality.  I highly recommend her. Read Less

I hate hearing these things written about Teresa's!  They are the nicest people, and they do good, solid nails!They have a special thing they do for French mani's, and even though I wear and tear my nails, they last and look great!  The place is clean, friendly, and appointment friendly.  I go regularly.

I tried this one out on a lunch break because it is walking distance from my work unlike my other MV favorite nail places but I doubt I'll go back....                                   Positives: proximity to downtown, got a manicure and pedicure in about 50 minutes which is nice considering I'm usually a little late (shh) back to work when I go to the other salons, my toes look good (not excellent but good), they were done quickly but they are the okay part of this review, they have a nice enough shop, and they have a nice selection of nail polishes. Negatives: CASH ONLY? Really? In MV?, my fingernails look like I did them myself and the best part of that is that I had them painted clear, they are cut and filed awfully, actually I think I could have done a better job, and the sign out on Miller says that a mani/pedi cost $30 but when I was finished she asked me for $33, I asked why the sign said $30 and she changed the price but yeah not very cool. I was hoping for a new walking distance nail salon but I'll drive down Miller in the future for quality! Read Less

"LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS" ! ! ! ! I would give this place a minus 5 stars if it was possible. This was the WORST and most painful experience we have ever had getting our nails done.My 22 year old Daughter was visiting, and is our ritual, we went to get pedicures and thought we would also treat ourselves to a full set of acrylics since both of us had short nails and wanted to look a little glamorous.The pedicures were fine (nothing great).But, I ended up leaving before the woman (Teresa) had finished my acrylics...because she was a butcher!!! She used a file that had sharp edges and  kept cutting me with it and would then would pour super glue on it  to stop the bleeding then let the glue dry then file upon it again, drawing more blood. She used a drill type file on the top of my nail beds that would get hot and burn. I told her that she was hurting me...this continued and when I looked I had 5 fingers bleeding on both sides of the nail bed.....the nails were super THICK and fan shaped like a plattapus.I told her that I'd had enough and wanted to leave. She said she was sorry and wanted to fix them...I told her she was crazy if she thought I was going to let her touch me anymore and that I was bleeding and in pain! The manicurist that did my Daughter's nails was Teresa's Daughter Ann. My Daughter had her nails already done by the time they started on me. I was having a pedicure while she was getting her acrylics done. She kept looking at me and mouthing the words "OUCH". She was able to get thru the entire procedure, but she too had a painful experience and had some bleeding and torn cuticles.I left after paying for our pedicures and my Daughter's set of acrylics. But when we got to the car we couldn't believe what we had just been thru. We took pictures of our sore and bloody fingers. For the next 2 days we had swollen and very painful fingers. We took a hot tub that evening and had to keep our hands up and out of the water because  they burned like a mother when we put them in the water. My boyfriend was totally amazed at our condition and kept asking if that was normal and why on earth we would have gone thru that.  I finally soaked mine off this morning because there was no way I could have endured someone filing on them because they are still so sensitive and swollen.. Soaking them in the solution to remove them was also agony as they burned where the swollen cuts are. BUT THEY ARE OFF!!!  Now my nails look absolutely awful..they are thin and have ridges and bumps all over them and my cuticles are all filed off and torn!I called Teresa yesterday to tell her how I felt about our experience. She kept saying "well I didn't charge you for your acrylics!" Like that was supposed to make it better??? I still paid $88.00 for 2 pedicures and my Daughter's acrylics. It will take me months to get my nails looking the way they did befoire Teresa  butchered my cutilcles and ruined my once smooth nails. My Daughter went and had another shop file and smooth out the bumps on hers today.To say something nice, they do keep a very clean shop....and considering that they draw blood, that's a good thing! But I was thinking how they kept using superglue on the cuts and wonder how they sterilize the tip of the superglue, or if they are spreading germs and diseases from the blood left on the super glue bottle and also the drill file.I am going to call the State board and tell them how they are perfoming services. This is an absolute Little shop of horrors. PAINFUL, expensive and I left with the job undone and had to remove the THICK acrylic myself and my hands look awful!!!DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE IT'S A NIGHTMARE!!!
