Beauty a La Mode in Livermore, CA

Seven months later, I am still very happy I found this spot! I am really hard on my nails and Monique has worked with me to get them healthier and prettier. She is great at communicating, it's easy to get convenient appointments, the salon is spotless and comfy, and my nails look great! Here today for a mani-pedi to kick off my first day of retirement. If you are looking for a new manicurist, start here. That would have saved me a lot of time and frustration.

Talk about a fabulous experience. I can honestly say this was the BEST pedicure I've ever had. I was getting a facial and was telling my esthetician I have a few hours before I need to be in Stockton for another appointment and I wanted a pedi. She texted her nail person and Monique said she would get me in. 1.5 hours later with a fresh face (shout out to Kelly at Skin Philosophy,) I walked into Beauty A La Mode. Cute, clean shop, plenty of parking and friendly faces as I walked in. Monique welcomed me, got me set up in a chair to soak my feet. She introduced me to Tran who would be doing my pedicure. Tran was a pleasure to talk to, had excellent skill and gave a mean (aka fabulous,) massage. The clientele that walked in were greeted by name and welcomed. There was a senior gentleman getting a pedicure when I walked in and then a senior woman that came in as I was finishing up. Monique and her team are thoughtful and gentle with their senior clientele as well. I joked with Monique telling her I didn't want to tell everyone how fabulous the salon was so I could make sure to get a return appointment. I enjoyed my time at Beauty A La Mode and will make sure I continue to visit when I head into Livermore, worth my time and money!

I had high hopes for this salon after reading the reviews, after getting my toes done here, within a day the polish started changing color and within two weeks the polish started peeling. Normally pedicures last me at least 4 weeks...just sucks because I had to get them redone sooner at another salon and pay even more money.

I have gone full circle... this was my salon almost 20 years ago... when Amy was the owner. Fast forward to last year when DD found Monique, and recommended I give her a try. Imagine my surprise when it was the very same salon! Monique is great...everything one could want... friendly, prompt, super clean... a excellent experience. DGD the Younger and I are going tomorrow...summer pedi for her, and my regular monthly mani pedi. Love!

This was my first visit here, and I was a walk in honestly not knowing if they could accommodate me or not. Monique the owner greeted me, and told me they were short staffed but would see what she could do. She made a call and someone was able to come in last minute to help me. I got gel nails and a regular pedicure. Both services were very nice, but the pedicure that Monique gave me was the best one I've ever had! So relaxing, and she was very gentle, and has such a sweet personality. The pedicure even came with a lemongrass scrub which other places you have to pay extra for. I've already made my next appointment to come back. Excellent service and experience!!!!
