Alex Nails 9

Located in a Redwood City strip mall, Alex Nails 9 stands out for its personalized, health-conscious nail care approach. Led by veteran technician Holly, who specializes in silk wrapping and nail restoration, this family-run salon has earned particular praise from athletes and those with sensitive nails. While the polish selection isn't extensive, the salon compensates with unique offerings like color-changing and glow-in-dark polishes, complimentary snacks, and notably strong expertise in treating ingrown toenails. The warm, conversational atmosphere and long-term client relationships—some spanning 20+ years—reflect the staff's genuine interest in their clients' lives and specific needs.
