Bellezza Day Spa

I love supporting local businesses. I needed a place for facial and bikini waxing and May is now my go-​to person! She takes good care of me and is VERY efficient. I don’t want to spend hours on waxing and she gets me in and out so I can go on with my day. Bellezza is a cute little spa just off El Camino Real in San Bruno. So glad I found May! Stop by… she’ll take good care of you, too!

I came here with a groupon on a Wednesday but was turned away because with a groupon, you will HAVE to make an appointment. FYI that’s their policy. so I made an appointment for the following Wednesday.
My experience here was pleasant. Yvonne was the manicurist that worked on my Hydration mani and pedi. Hydration mani and pedi consist of a scrub and an arm and leg mask on top of the basic mani/​pedi treat. Yvonne did a great job on cleaning my nail beds and removing the dead skin off my feet. She was very friendly, easy to talk to and also very knowledgeable on nail health and nail care.

I had read very good reviews about them and saw they had a Groupon, it was a great deal for a mani pedi, however I was very disappointed when trying to schedule and appointment they never answer their phone I called over 5 times and left multiple voicemails, and did not get a call back which resulted in me canceling my Groupon and going somewhere else. I’m sorry but it is not good customer service if you do not answer your phone!

Update: May from Bellezza Day Spa called me and apologized about my manicure and sent me a $ 20 refund.

Went back to visit Joanne at Bellezza Day Spa the other day and it was definitely great to give a refresh to my depleted skin-​frastructure (you like that?) after recently becoming a daddy to a wonderful 11-​month old ball of joy I call my son. Joanne is always someone that I feel comfortable with because she’s always got fun life stories to tell me about and she sincerely cares about what’s going on with mines. Joanne’s always good at keeping my skin healthy and keeping my acne problem from appearing. Okay, that’s all I can admit/​declare on a Unilocal post without my guy friends laughing at me (if they’re reading this).

I had my very first spa day at Belleza Day Spa and it was wonderful experience. May and her team were great. It was my first professional massage and I loved it! The masseuse made sure I was comfortable the whole time. May did my facial and upgraded my treatment based on what my face needed. She did my mani-​pedi and was very gentle but thorough. My nails looked great even without the polish!
I definitely recommend this place if you want pampering without having to drive far.

I found a deal in Groupon for a hot hydration mani-​pedi package and decided to give them a try after reading all the Unilocal reviews. Bellezza Day Spa is location inside a tiny plaza in San Bruno. They do not have a lavish interior or luxury equipments but their services and atmosphere are great. Staff are very friendly that made me feel like home. I always go to the nail shop inside Tanforan mall for convenience. Now I rather book my appointment in advance and revisit May, Joanne and Yvonne.

DO NOT buy the groupon deal for this sham of a place!!! They promised a hot hydration mani pedi with a lavender milk bath mango scrub for palms and heels, mud mask for the feet and lavender oil afterwards.
I never even saw the lavender milk bath, the mango scrub and mud mask was never even near my hands or feet. They put a line of it on my shins and top of lower arms. In fact they put alcohol on my hands and feet. They are drier and now cracking. So much for a hydration mani pedi. AND the mani pedi is one of the worst I have ever had!!!
These people lie to you. I was scammed and am paying for it now with dry hands and feet and horrible mani pedi.

I got a great Gel Mani for $ 30
Lasted for ever 2 weeks!
Nice owner and service
Usually busy so come in off hours or make an appt.

I had my nails done here in March. First, the nail technician wore disposable rubber gloves the entire time, which is fine if they had been new and fit her. They were old, too large, and yellowing, so when she gave me a brief arm massage, I could feel the aged rubber against my skin. The actual manicure (had no polish) was hastily done and pretty shoddy. She didn’t soak my nails long enough to help with softening the cuticles, and she didn’t clean under my nails. She was distracted the entire time and clearly wanted to be done with me as soon as possible (even though I was the only one in the store, aside from an older woman with a dog who was there was the salon owner– not a customer). I would never go back here, nor would I recommend it to anyone. Definitely not worth the price, time, or effort!

I came here during a desperate nail emergency. Unilocal did not steer more wrong.
I found the spa easily. A little off of el Camino in a small plaza. It’s small and clean. With up to date nail and foot spas.
There was no wait to get started. I wish they had a larger selection of gel colors but they have most of the basics covered. Good selection of regular polishes like Essie.
I wish they went after my cuticles a little more but I can’t complain. They look clean. I just like it REALLY clean.
I saw an offer on Unilocal and they offered it without me purchasing it. Great service. Even a good cup of coffee while I was getting my pedi and gel mani done.

This is a cute little boutique salon situated in a small plaza in San Bruno. I got the groupon for a Mani-​Pedi. I was very impressed by the pedi, 2 cute ladies who aren’t the best with English were my technicians and they were soo good. I got a french manicure with gel (paid 25 $ extra) and was very happy with the outcome. However, within 2 days the nailpaint started developing cracks and chipping off– gel is supposed to last 3 weeks at least. I called the salon (May) to tell her about this and she was nice enough to admit that it was because they used a new brand of top coat which they were regretting and would want to make it up by re-​doing it for me. I think I’m going to become a regular at bellezza :)

Loved my visit to Bellezza Day Spa. I walked in on a Wednesday afternoon and was tended to very quickly by May. I’ve been to several different nail shops before and never felt as relaxed as I did here. May was super warm and welcoming and chatted with me the entire time I was there like we were old friends. The service was great and even though a steady flow of customers came in, I never felt rushed. I highly recommend coming here for all your pampering needs because not only will you leave looking better than when you entered, but you’ll also leave feeling better from the high caliber of friendly, attentive service they provide you with.

This review is more about Bellezza’s way of doing business and not the service itself.
I purchased a Groupon for a hot hydration mani-​pedi combo. Called the salon to make an appointment and NO ONE answered the phone. I must have called for 2 days straight without getting a live person on the phone. If it wasn’t for someone’s review here on Unilocal,I wouldn’t have found out that you can book online (which is what I ended up doing). On the 3^rd day though someone finally answered and said they were fully booked for about a week. Luckily I had already made my appointment online! Next…
Get to the salon and it is decent. It just looked like an upgraded Asian salon to me, nothing special. I took my daughter with me and asked how much would it be to file her nails and paint them, the lady at the front quoted me with a price of $ 15 which is OUTRAGEOUS! I have never been to a salon that charges that much to file and paint a child’s nails. Price range is usually $ 5-​$ 7. I’ve been to more fu-​fu places than this and they don’t charge that much either. Next…
I showed the lady a picture of a mani I wanted. I guess you can say it was a «design» but it wasn’t a really detailed design. All it was was a half moon. She told me it would be extra and I asked her how much? She sighed an annoyed sigh and went to the back to ask someone else. Came back out and said $ 5 for 2 nails. So that would be $ 5×5=$ 25 extra. on top of what I already paid for the Groupon. You got to be kidding me??? I pay that price for my acrylics and the lady that does them does whatever design I want. HORRIBLE!!!
Also when I was looking at the color selection I had a couple of OPI INFINITE SHINE polishes in my hand. the lady walks by and tells me that they’re an extra $ 5. LORD! They just really charge for everything here! This place I go to in the city has that AND CND VINYLUX at NO EXTRA CHARGE and on top of that the mani-​pedi combo is regularly the same price I purchased this Groupon for!
The service itself was good, no complaints. My nails were filed and painted correctly. Sugar scrub smelled really good. They also put an «organic» mask on my arms and legs although I don’t know what the point of that was. maybe some excuse to jack up the price of the service. The hot hydration mani-​pedi is regularly $ 60 which I cannot believe. Wayyyy toooo overpriced! Also I don’t know what type of scrub, lotion and mask they used on me since it’s already taken out of the container when they put it on you. hell if I know it could be some really cheap s***! They also offered me another hot hydration mani-​pedi at $ 45 if I pre book for a future date, that’s still way over priced.
In the end I asked if I could leave a tip on my credit card for them as I did not have any cash, they said yes but added that the minimum charge on a cc is $ 15. At this point I literally laughed out loud, these people are just really funny. Well in the end those 2 ladies got more than a 20% tip on the full price. –_​–
Long story short, I won’t be coming back here. The end!

It is the first time i have been here, and I got a Gel Manicare which was a wonderful experience. A lady who served me was professional and detailed. Will definitely come back again for the mani/​pedi. Maybe try their facial as well.

My grandmother bought a Groupon for skin tag removal for here, and being a good granddaughter, I took her to her appointment. Upon arriving, the receptionist was on the phone and didn’t look up at us to acknowledge that we were here. She knew we were there, and just persisted to talk. The salon entrance was extremely nice and decorated, but after being taken back to what seemed like the facial/​waxing/​skin tag removal/​supply area, I immediately noticed the lack of cleanliness. Oh my god. It screamed sanitation hell. The disposable paper on the facial/​waxing beds looked as it had not been changed between clients. The paper was crinkled, and you could tell that someone had previously laid on it. Additionally there were droplets of leftover dried wax all over the table. Like seriously, why wouldn’t you clean that up before taking your next client back there? Also in the back, there is a complete lack of privacy. The back was set up was two beds against opposite walls. When you walk in, it’s one bed to the left with a shower curtain, one bed to the right with a shower curtain, and then a sink that was lined with black crud on the wall. To make matters even tackier, the shower curtains were held together by paper clips. Oh, and you can hear EVERYTHING.
Now, before the lady started the skin tag removal procedure, she advised my grandmother not to eat any beef, pork, shrimp, or crab. She had also informed her not to get the area wet, and not to bathe or shower for the next three days. None of this information was on the Groupon, so this was new to me. At this moment, I realized there was no signing of any waiver, or having to read anything sort of precaution before going to the back. Okay. Thanks for the warning?
Anyways, my brave, little, Asian grandma still went on with the procedure. The lady performing the procedure brought out this white machine, plugged it in, got a pair of tweezers and started to laser my grandma’s skin tag off. My grandma kept saying ouch, and reacting cause she was in pain, and the lady told her to stay still. Next there was a horrible burning smell. Now, since I had my phone out I decided to take a video of the procedure. When I started to move my phone to get a better angle, the lady got super pissed and told me no videos or pictures were allowed, and to go wait in the reception area.
Overall this place was shady. If there are precautions for procedures, they should put it in the fine print on the Groupon, or on a waiver before you go to the back. They could definitely use better communication and clean up a bit more. This place really makes me wonder what their sanitation rating is, and how they were even able to get on Groupon with such horrible service.

I came to this place because there was a good deal on groupon and I’m still trying to find a nail salon that I like. Make a long story short the mani pedi was meh… For the groupon price you get what you pay for. Defiantly not worth a full price trip.
My nails aren’t even completely painted, not that there a streaks, it just not painted. And they didn’t bother to paint the tip of the nail, so my 1 hours old mani looks a week old. My toes cam out better.

My sister treated me to a hydration mani/​pedi while I was pregnant. Although they did a halfway decent job on the pedi, the french mani was a prime example of shoddy workmanship. The french (white) tips were uneven and some were crooked.
Worse yet, they were all chipped a few hours afterwards. Even though I didn’t pay for it, I still feel ripped off! I won’t be wasting any of my own money or time at this place ever again.

I was very excited when I saw how cute this boutique nail salon looked. However, I was so disappointed in the service.
I got off of work early to meet my friend for our nail appointment. Unfortunately, the owner accidentally double booked my friend and I with a couple of other people. She denied any wrong doing and said we did NOT have appointments. She was adamant and rude about it. When my friend arrived, she all of a sudden remembered my friend did call a week in advance but suggested we come back the following day. I explained to the owner that I took time off of work to come have a girls day with my pregnant friend. She reluctantly called one of her other customers to cancel on her.
Even though the owner canceled one of her appointments, she still rushed through our nails so that she could squeeze in another appointment immediately after us. My gel nails didn’t last very long bc I don’t feel like she did a great job in the first place.
I will not be coming back here again.

Made an appointment the day before for 12PM, so already points for fitting me in at the last minute. I had the Unilocal coupon «$ 35 for $ 50 of services», so I chose to get a classic mani and hot hydration pedicure, which totaled $ 50.
I arrived right on time and they sat me down right away. I made sure to confirm the services and give them my Unilocal coupon before we got started.
The service was attentive and professional. Everything looked clean and organized. The owner was very personable, even as she was running around trying to run everything.
They did lack color options for regular nail polish, but they do carry most the major brands, they also have gel options. I personally did not experience this, but some people didn’t realize certain things cost extra, like gel polish removal, etc. Be sure to confirm prices as you go.
The pedicure came out great, but I was a bit confused as to why they didn’t use the mango scrub and mud mask on my feet, they only put it on my lower leg (it did leave my legs super nice though!). The oil massage was lacking though, have definitely had way better before, but I think that comes down to the specific tech.
WIll definitely be back though and plan to try their massages next!
Remember to bring cash for tip, the nearest ATM is across El Camino.
