I've been coming to this nail salon for over 10 years. My manis last 2 weeks and pedis last almost a month. I moved to Mill Valley almost 2 years ago and still will drive into the City to come here. I've tried several nail salons in MV and their manis barely last a week before they chip.

The owner of this business, Van, has a serious attitude problem. Last Friday, I made my third visit to her nail salon in two weeks. She didn't acknowledge me in any way. From the start, she told me she had only little time to take care of me, barely responded to my attempts at conversation while she was doing my nails and kept acting irritated, saying she hadn't had lunch yet etc., as if she had a personal beef with me. If so, I'm not clear what that could be, since I left her a tip on my first two visits.
Like the other times I was in, she kept bantering and babbling in Vietnamese to her employees while they all dealt with customers who clearly cannot understand a word of it. Unbelievably rude. I could not help thinking of the famous Seinfeld episode when Elaine is being slighted at her regular nail salon and she finally enlists the help of Mr. Costanza to decipher what the heck they're saying about her in Vietnamese.
They do a good job with your nails (hence the 2 stars) but I refuse to patronize a business where I'm so obviously not welcome.
There are tons of other nail salons steps away so, unless Van has elected you as one of her favorites, I'd advise you to steer clear of her path.

Death by a thousand cuts. My hands are sore and nicked all over. Two hour mani/pedi the nails on my left hand are longer the ones on my right! On my way to another salon now!
