Bella Rouge Nail & Spa

Just got my first pedicure here and I LOVE it! Reasonably priced, very pretty space, nurturing environment, friendly, kind workers, big polish selection, comfy chairs, awesome massage (including hot stones), very clean and great pedicure quality. My new go-​to nail place in Marin

I’ve been to this location about 3 times now and am still quite pleased with the service. I tend to drop in right around opening time on Saturday morning and never have to wait. I’ve only had pedicures each time, but they’ve been great. I’m not a fan of the bowls that some salons have you – and everyone else who visits the salon – shove your feet into. This place brings out a clean, lined tub (with hot lemon-​y water!) for each pedicure. Hello, sanitation! I always get a thorough scrub from a friendly staff member. My favorite part is the mechanical buffer they use for the bottoms of the feet. Makes my feet super smooth! I always end with a wonderful massage with oils, lotion, and a hot stone. I walk out with new feet! This is definitely my go-​to spot, especially for a $ 25 pedicure that’s worth every dollar.

I love this nail salon. Best pedicure I’ve ever gotten so now I only come here. Really nice massage chairs and a very pampering experience overall.

Worst manicure I have ever received! I got tips put on, the nails were uneven when I left. 6 of the nails have popped off, as if I bought press on’s at Walgreens. The nails started lifting within 24 hours. They do not even hurt when they pop off. I have been getting my nails done for over 10 years this is the worst manicure I have received. To top it off they are over priced! I wasted my money and it has only been 5 days and I need to get them done again, but of course I don’t have the time. Guess I get to walk around with hideous broken nails for a few more days.

I went in with my sister and we both left with great manis. They also gave us a nice massage on hands, arms and upper back. I have a troublesome nail that splits all the time and Phoung (Angela is US name) had a clever trick for gluing on a thin cloth with super glue to keep it from splitting. Will definitely return. All the good details others have stated are true!

Hands down best nail salon in Marin! The peaceful atmosphere, the cleanliness (removable bowls with plastic liners), the great nails AND massages, the fair prices, the wonderful kind women that work here — just the best! I tried a few other salons when I moved to southern Marin, but it just wasn’t comparable, so now I make the trip up to Bella Rouge once a month!

I’m a fan of this nail salon! Only had one visit so far. I got a $ 10 manicure nail file and color only. They did an excellent job, didn’t try to sell me anything I didn’t want. — I don’t get my cuticles cut or soaked and they didn’t push that :)

I love this salon. It’s clean, comfortable and the staff is great. I’m pretty picky, and my gel manis are beautiful every time! I tried several salons when I move here some months ago, and none come close to Bella Rouge. Oh – and their prices are super reasonable!

I LOVE this place because…
* it’s very clean
* They use plastic liners in the pedicure bowels
* They play classical music, not the radio.
* If they don’t have time they tell you.
* They give WONDERFUL massages!
* The woman are lovey that work in the salon
* I will never go anywhere else

Great nail salon. Clean, considerate, and professional to a fault. I adore these folks and love stopping in.
Only drawback is that quite a few of their customers are «cluster B» women from Kentfield, etc. I just got to watch one looney woman basically be a putz to everyone in the shop. Except me. Kinda hard to process a dude in a nail shop, eh? Ha! Well, I hope she has a shitty vacation and that she realizes she doesn’t «love the yellow undertones» when her ugly ass is halfway around the world wrecking everyone’s vacation who is within earshot.

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 terrific (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.

I have to admit … I hesitate to add to the 5 star reviews as I REALLY want to continue to be able to come in on fairly short notice. But the ladies are lovely, the place is relaxing, services exceed expectations and prices are great (especially for the area). Thank you ladies so much for treating my daughter and I so well. We had a great time in the salon and appreciate how special you made us both feel. I’ve brought my daughter (now 8-​yr old daughter) with me to nail salons before, but other treatments have been very quick and to her disappointment. My daughter got the full treatment here, which was by far the best treatment I’ve ever received at a nail salon. We’ll be back!

I continue to keep coming back here. I can call & get a quick appointment on the weekend. Very pleasant personalities. The vibe in this nail salon is very peaceful. Holly the owner is very accommodating. They always offer drinks (water, tea, etc.) I called 3 other nail salons closer to my hotel and could not get an appointment for hours but Holly gave me one in 15minutes. There were 2 different groups of people who called for appointments then showed up with extra people. Who does that? She expects 4 but then 7 people show up.
In terms of polish colors, there is a nice selection of colors (both regular colors & gel). I am never disappointed with the service. I also like that they don’t skimp on the number of coats of polish. As usual I’m happy with the end result.

This salon is amazing! I went there with my mom and my sister on Sunday and we were very pleasantly surprised. My mom and sister live in Marin and have been to virtually all of the nail salons in Tiburon, Sausalito, Mill Valley, and Larkspur — and this was by far their favorite. The salon has a relaxing atmosphere, nice lighting, and beautiful decorations. The chairs are very comfortable and the staff is very nice. The woman doing my gel manicure asked me a few questions about my life, and was happy to chat or just let me enjoy the ambiance. She was very thorough and gentle. They were also patient with us – my mom had a bit of trouble deciding which color was her favorite and they helped her look through them all!
As part of the manicures, we got amazing neck massages and long arm massages! This was such a pleasant surprise. We were all so happy with our nails (my mom got a pedicure, I got a gel manicure, and my sister got a gel manicure and a pedicure) and the prices were very reasonable. My mom smudged her toe soon after we left, so we went back and they fixed it without a fuss.
I highly recommend this salon and we look forward to going again soon :)

This place is great! Good attention to detail with gel manicures and spa pedicures. They also give great leg, feet, neck, and shoulder massages with the services, so dress appropriately (hair up, loose top, shorts).

I am the biggest snob you will ever meet when it comes to nail salons. Not only am I a beauty writer (so I’m extra critical) but I was spoiled by living in NYC for 20 years, where good nail salons are as prevalent as Starbucks. I’ve been SO disappointed thus far with all the nail salons I’ve visited in Marin. Sure, there are a few mediocre salons I could go to when duty called, but I never had one salon I loved… until now.
Not only is Bella Rouge super clean and safe (they use hygienic bowls instead of germ-​infested whirlpool chairs), all the nail technicians are super detail-​oriented which means you will always leave with perfect nails.
I was REALLY impressed with their polish collection as well. Essie and OPI are to be expected, but Zoya and Morgan Taylor are added bonuses. The other thing I love about this place is the massage. You get tons of it on both manicures and pedicures.
This place is hands down the best nail salon in Marin.

Such a nice atmosphere. And no real talking among the employees… a nice change :-)

I’m so thrilled to have found a nail salon in my neighborhood!
I LOVE the mani-​pedi that Sonia and Lisa gave me… not to mention the shoulder massage, leg massage with hot stones. And the green tea.
All of it, the whole experience was delightful!
A $ 38 mani-​pedi is very reasonable, especially considering the attentive, friendly service and quality work.
I highly recommend the team at Bella Rouge!

Great place! Holly and girls are so friendly. I always go on my lunch hour and I’m in and out. Clean, modern, great manicure and pedicures. I also get my eyebrows waxed. Can’t say enough about the staff!

I got my nails done about two weeks ago, and had a fantastic experience! I called early on a Sunday morning before the salon was open. I received a call back almost immediately and was told I could come in right away before they even opened. Holly did a wonderful job on my nails… can’t wait to go back again!
