Best Nail Salons In The Peninsula
Balisimo Salon
398 State St.
Palo Alto, CA 94022

www.balisimo-salon.com
A small salon in downtown Los Altos, Balisimo has been in business for over 20 years and offers a range of services including fills, European style pedicures and reflexology. Products are of high quality and the salon environment is always clean and relaxing. The only drawback here is that there's only one manicure station, as the salon is mainly a hair salon, however if you make an appointment in advance you will not be disappointed. The professional service and results are well worth the wait. Your hands will feel radiant after one of Balisimo's nail services, and the European Pedicure with Reflexology is highly recommended. Leave the salon with an appointment to come back again soon.
