Barbie Hair & Nails

BAD EXPERIENCE! I went here years ago and the service was terrible. They damaged my blond hair so much by leaving the bleach on my head for so long it irritated my scalp. I was charged with a small discount but I think that they shouldn’t have charged me at all because the damage was so severe, it took months for my fried hair to improve.

I’ve sent so many people here its a friend of mines gf spot. They do a great job everytime I’ve been here. They have all said great things about this place. Give this place a spot if you live in the area.

I was looking at the reviews here, not sure why it’s low compared to other nail places. I think it could be location… Anyhow, this place is clean and has super friendly staff. Reasonable price, it’s hidden off El Camino Real across La Paloma. It wasn’t this busy earlier, 20 min later this place was packed!
No complaints got excellent service, I came here 10 years back and the owner remembered me!
I never got my hair done here, just mani, pedi, waxing. They have Paraffin wax after a pedicure which feels amazing and softens your feet.
I have colleagues from the hospital who introduced this place to me and still come here. So If truly infections were an issue I’d know about it. So far nada…
They have a male who cuts men’s hair also and shaves with scalp massage! Can’t beat couples both getting pampered here!

The ladies here are very sweet. Whenever I come in for a pedicure, they always take their time to massage. It is relaxing after a long day at work. Friendly service.

Ms Lee and her staff did my spa pedicure and it was relaxing with the feet massage they gave me at no additional cost. Spa pedicure for $ 22. Pretty decent price.
Lee has highlighted my hair once and it’s pretty. I saw another woman getting her highlight done and looks fabulous. Only down fall is that when she gets busy she might forget about you so you need to speak up when you feel like your highlights are ready. (You don’t want your hair to get burnt)
My friend a guy got his haircut for only $ 8 which was super cheap and clean.

I came to this place ever since 2 months ago. Good services with everything. Haircut was cheaper than other places; especially men hair cuts. They also do waxing, as well as nail services. Lee did my pink/​white nail, she was fabilous, she really take time and did wat you ask for.
All and all, this place sure is a good place to go if you are the one looking for afordable price.

Great inexpensive haircut, complete with head massage. Never had a bad cut, my go-​to place!

This place is a budget place for men hair cut. I like this guys Kevin out the, and only visit if he is around (he works here on Saturdays), he is the only one does good work for men nd kids, other make you horrible. Just for him 3 stars, otherwise nope.

Updates just over a week after my last visit to Barbies and too scared to go back to them. Here is what I had to do to fix what they did.
WAXING: 2 days after my wax I went to my hair dresser and she had to redo it! It is the first time I have EVER had a non-​thorough wax.
NAILS: Positive is the top coat only chipped around a few edges after a week but when I had someone else remove it. It would not soak off with acetone. She had to file it off with a drill. I was horrified and grateful I found a new salon. Comfortable, peaceful and where they were happy to meet not just my needs but also my desires!
TO THE POINT: Go to Vikki’s Nails in the moonlight shopping center in Santa Clara near Keily and El Camino and then ask for Tweetie! For $ 50 and I got a full set of acrylic tips with a glitter tipped french manicure/​solar nails and a gel top coat. Plus a Pedicure with calf massage and polish! She did not up-​charge for the Solar nails and explained EXACTLY what they were and what products would best meet my needs as a face painter and body artist whose hands are constantly in make up, face paint and adhesives! I am so happy I found Tweetie and Vicky’s Nails!

Wa desperate for mani/​pedi as walk in. I have seen this place before and stopped. I wish i would have read reviews before. Everything i have read was true cut you during cutile trimming, luke war water in spa with no moisturizer, no base coat, little to no massage with either. Literally put lotion on legs rubbed for 30 sec and then wiped it off with out towel.

BEWARE!!! If you want a good brazilian wax that doesn’t leave you bloody, in severe pain, and pissed off… avoid this place. I went there based on a friend’s referral. I didn’t Unilocal it, but should have and I would have learned that the owner Lee is the Waxing Nazi. No only is does she have no technique, she waxed over an area more than once. She repeatedly snatched my skin until it broke leaving a tinge of blood in my panties. She got wax on that real sensitive/​special area and almost ripped it off. Then when I covered up my privates to get her to stop, she tried to yank my hands away stating, «No pain. No game.» This isn’t a game and certainly have nothing to gain from being ultra sore, scarred, and pissed off. I’d rather pay more next time and get the kind of service I am used to. My advise is to stay far far far away from this place.

I went there first time… And they have a good offer manicure +pedicure for …$. I try it, it was ok… I was back once again to do the same… This time pedicure was fine, but manicure was terrible. The lady cut me 3 times… It was very painful day for my fingers… I newer went back…

I have been there a few times for pedicure. I only go there when I desperately and urgently need a pedicure. The place is clean and usually not very busy so you can walk in. What I do not like about this place is that they do not use a base coat and sometimes «forget» to put on a top coat on your nails. So like I said, get your nails done there only if you desperately and urgently need to.

I agree 100% with Monika. I have been going to Barbie for several years for my bikini waxes. Affordable.
Interesting place indeed, however I always leave with a good wax. I recommend Moon. Yes, Moon! She is thorough and polite.
I used to go for pedi’s but decided to get them elsewhere. It is not the cleanest place.

I got a mani pedi there and they did a great job. They’re very professional with reasonable prices. The girls that did my nails were very friendly. I found the place to be very clean and I highly recommend to all my friends

This is the best place in the south bay for student on a budget to get a very thorough bikini wax. I’ve been going for over two years and had some interesting experiences there, but never a bad wax.
My friend got a plain manicure and they cleaned up her cuticles nicely. Personally, I only go here for waxes. I wouldn’t expect a place that looks like this to excel at mani/​pedis or haircuts.

This is THE worst nail salon I have ever been to.
I am looking for a good place so I’m trying out salon’s in my area. I got a full set of acrylic nails and she got super glue all over my hands and then had me go wash them — so I had crusted glue everywhere. She then FILED off the glue with the electrical filer which caused all my cuticles to bleed and some of them got deep cuts.
Then she filed all my nails crooked and my skin was stuck to the acrylic.
This place is dirty and the people are rude. She told me I wash my hands too much and that’s why my nails always lift. She also told me if I didn’t bite my nails, she wouldn’t have cut me! I don’t even bite my nails!
My mom got a pedicure at the same time and she has a ton of cuts and blisters on her feet from there.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!
