Y Salon & Spa - San Mateo, California

Lee is an exceptional colorist and stylist! She created a beautiful highlight that complemented my natural hair color beautifully! I do not want to color or hide my incoming gray and she matched a blonde tone beautifully. Eliminated the yellows from a previous highlight.

Daniella did a fantastic job on my gel french manicure. The base color is a beautiful glossy pink.

Absolutely 5 stars for Y Salon! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth, everyone in the salon is extremely friendly and genuinely nice. Yvonne is a truly amazing professional artist. She transformed my hair completely, not just matching exactly what I asked for, but somehow making it even better than I imagined!
The salon itself is beautiful, bright, and thoughtfully designed with everything you could think of when it comes to beauty. I had my nails done, a full hair color and cut, and each service was top-notch. I can’t wait to experience the spa part next time, it looks just as incredible.
I’ll definitely be recommending Y Salon to all my friends. It’s a gem!

The staff always take such great care of me and anyone I bring along! I have done nails, hair and pedicures here and have never been disappointed. Endless pedicure...best plan ever. Staff at the front are always so kind and accommodating even when plans change suddenly. Love this salon!!

I went to Y Salon for the first time this week for a gel manicure, and had such a positive experience that I wanted to leave a review. Daniela did my nails perfectly. She was super sweet and it was clear she cared about doing a great job. The women at the front desk were very welcoming and the salon itself was bright and clean. I highly recommend coming here.

Best of the best salon in town!

I have been a loyal customer of Y Salon for many years, but always neglected to post a review and forgot to take before & after photos. The salon has gone through many changes and renovations throughout the years, but their ambiance and uplifting service remain the same. Yvonne is a wonderful master stylist. She knows her customer well and listens to their request. She is very skillful and I feel like she’s a chemist witch with her color blending. My hair color was fading out and i needed a full lifted dye. I was happy with the color I got and the multiple treatments that make my hair shiny and silky. In addition, i also got my manicure done as well. Awesome job from Oanh (One). Lovely lady and did an awesome job.

Y Salon also takes care of customers very well. They offer complimentary beverages and snacks. All the staff are very friendly and attentive. I can also see the positive energy that each staff have for one another. They seem to be very pleasant to be around. Last but not least, the salon is beautifully decorated with unique personal touch and very artistic. Highly recommend 🥰

I was looking for a hair salon nearby that knew how to work with my thick wavy/curly hair (2b/2c), and Y Salon did not disappoint at all! Yvonne is very experienced with all hair types and gave me exactly what I wanted (2 inch trim, U shape, face-framing layers). She trimmed my hair dry, had it washed, and then touched it up after as well, since I asked that the layers also look good if I want to straighten my hair. After going home and restyling my hair using my usual products, I'm in love with my haircut!

I also got a kerastase treatment since a lot of my hair is bleached, which makes my hair now feel so soft and nourished!

Not only did I like my haircut, but I loved the service of the whole salon as well. Tracy washed my hair so well and gave me an amazing scalp massage while shampooing my hair that I almost fell asleep! While I was waiting in between cuts or hair drying, the other team members would ask me if I was doing ok or offer me water. Everyone was so kind and hospitable.

Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely go back!

I had an amazing massage with Tracy! She was incredibly skilled, and I left feeling completely relaxed and refreshed. She took the time to focus on all the right areas, and her technique was perfect. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a top-notch massage!

Came in for a gel mani-pedi. Pedicure was fine, nothing exceptional, but the manicure was disappointing. There were bubbles in the polish, the cuticle work felt rushed, and I had to ask the tech to fix spots she missed. She seemed more focused on chatting with coworkers than the service. A couple of nails chipped just a day later. Came here for convenience, but I won’t be returning.
