Peninsula Beauty

Talk to Jessica! Life changing. Thanks for educating me on Jane Iredale and for being so patient with all our questions!

I went to get a Brazilian wax today with their esthetician named Alex. I had only had one Brazilian wax at European wax center and it was the worst experience ever so today I was nervous but Alex was amazing. She is really professional and she helped me breath so I couldn’t really feel the pain. I am so happy with the job she did with my Brazilian today, I am no longer scared and will be only coming to her for my future waxes.

I’m about to rant. I went in to find hair products with my daughter. No one approached us to see if we needed any assistance, so I approached them instead. Michelle walked me over to the Wella products, pointed it out and then walked away. While my daughter and I were considering the product, Jennifer asked «can I get behind you?» She was heading to the register. Mind you, there was room to get around and the store was not that busy. But is it just me or do people not say please, thank you or excuse me anymore? She continued to give looks and appeared to be talking under her breath about one thing or another.
Luckily, Michelle noticed we were still having issues selecting products and ended up helping us out and ringing us up.
I just happened to be in the area, so thankfully I don’t have to come here again. It was very uncomfortable…

This place has everything you need for hair care and also has a good supply of (and selection of) travel size portions too. I love this place. I probably only come in once every 3 or 4 months, but they always have what I need over the years.

Rude service. Very unpleasant. The manager of the Palo Alto store seemed put out when I asked her to help me find something. Then told me she did not have it, although, eventually I found it on the shelves. Been going here for years, and this is an anomaly. I recommend skipping the Palo Alto store until that manager is gone! As a result, I looked for what I want other places and found what I wanted for ²⁄₃ the cost on Amazon!

I can only agree with all the other reviewers. The STAFF IS NOT NICE AT ALL!
But I guess one does not need a lot of education to sell a $ 8 nail polish.
They are standing around chatting not even asking if they can help you find something.
Please whoever the manager is try to exchange the current staff for a more professional one.

The waxer named Alex is amazing and does beautiful eyebrows. So friendly, is super hygienic and is really experienced. She’s truly awesome and I will definitely will be coming back to her.

Just came here yesterday for a Brazilian wax and lashes by Alexandria. She was amazing, and prices were the cheapest around. Definitely spa quality for the price of a cheapy wax at a nail salon.
$ 60 Brazilian
$ 250 full set of lashes
And 10% off for referrals!
She’s there tues, thurs and some sat. I believe they r separate from peninsula beauty, therapy skincare or something

I shop here regularly. Staff is very helpful. Make sure to sign up to get points when you shop. I always save $ 10 – 20 with my purchase.

Love this place. Love the rewards program.

I finally walked into a Peninsula Beauty shop only to wonder why it has taken me so long. It’s certainly not like the beauty shops I remember from childhood! This place had only nice smells and pretty products that were all nicely displayed. Yes, this chain has a keen eye and their selection impressed me, especially the range of high-​end hair products and at prices better than the local salons I’ve tried or Target. I couldn’t resist buying my next supply of Keratin shampoo & conditioner, which is when I was encouraged to sign up for buyers points. I hesitated but as the perky clerk explained, even if you don’t buy beauty in quantity, purchases eventually add up to a savings and best of all you get a free nail polish for your birthday month. (You get to choose from their wide selection of popular brands that include OPI, Essie and more.) As luck would have it, it’s my birthday month so I also got to select a hip nail color from the latest Essie collection. Thank you Peninsula Beauty!

A REALLY small Peninsula Beauty Supply — they do fit quite a bit of quality product in this small shop, but don’t expect the range that you’ll find in Burlingame or even San Mateo. It seems like their stock is heavy on the gifty items, not so much on the shampoo or hair accessories. Plus — unless it’s hidden someplace I don’t see — they don’t have a salon here, as many of the shops do.
I find it better to come here if I’m just looking for «something,» rather than if I’m looking for something in particular. I’ve found some nice OPI colors here, as well as some nice soaps.
Not a lot of help directly on the «sales floor,» but they do always ask if I need help… I wonder if they stay behind the counter because of the size of the place.

Worst place ever. Poor customer service, people dont care if you are in the store. They are just standing there. It seems like they hate their job. I will never come back

This is a conveniently located beauty store right in the heart of the shopping area of University. I like that I know I can come here whenever I need something in the area and that I can also seek it out for high-​quality and sometimes hard to find beauty products. The store is pretty small but has a decent variety considering that size. I can always come here and get great hair products and amazing styling tools, plus they have great deals.

Convenient store for beauty products. After trying CVS and Walgreens to find a new hairbrush and not finding anything of quality I came here. I found a nice Denmark hairbrush here for little more than I would have paid for a crappy Chinese one at the drugstores.

I have had several positive experiences at this store. The have an amble selection of hair and nail products.
On my last visit, Katherine was very helpful in recommending a new shampoo and conditioner for my ever changing hair. She was attentive and cheerful and I have been happy with her suggestion!

I’m going to keep giving you 1 star until you lot realize that no matter the size of your store and the amount of employees you have, a simple «hello, welcome» with a smile before your only customer does 5 laps around the store is the general rule of retail.
I used to think that my my leggings, nike running shoes & hooded sweatshirt made the ladies (even the manager, whose hellos are always contrived) automatically assume I’m some poor, dirty, pothead homeless person. Yes, I’ve watched some of the employees look me up and down with a very negatively pointed air about them. So, I’ve been in in my nice jeans, boots, nice sweater, with my hair coiffed and makeup looking nice… Still, absolutely no customer service. I literally have to do at least 2 laps around this tiny location before any of the employees decide to even look at me. And, usually, they’d rather talk about what they did last weekend, or complain about something.
To quote Anjelah Johnson, «RUDE.»
It is so disappointing that bad customer service is the PBS standard. Although, at this point, I’m really not surprised. I’d rather order my Deva Curl from the Deva Curl website, thank you very much.

I bought a groupon to get my beauty supply fix on at Peninsula Beauty Supply. They have extensive selection of all sorts of salon brand hair care, OPI nail polish, well-​known skin care lines and make-​up.
I was on the hunt for an eye lash curler that would succeed on my pin-​straight Asian lashes. The girl behind the counter was super friendly and gave me a few options. She told me about the Japonesque heated mini curler. I was afraid, but she pulled it out of the box and showed me how to use it. Way nicer and more attentive than the workers at Sephora.
Parking in downtown Palo Alto can be annoying, especially during peak meal times. There are some free parking garages on Ramona and Bryant if you can’t avoid those times.

Comprehensive beauty boutique! Wall-​to-​wall of every hair product imaginable! They were closing up for the day when I came in the other day so I couldn’t pore over every section, but grabbed enough of my Kenra staples to make me one happy camper :-)
Great sale on mega-​bottle shampoo & conditioner packs –($ 36) Joico, Kenra, Paul Mitchell, Biolage and much more. Complete Dermalogica and Murad skin care lines and well as a full wall of OPI and Essie nail polish. Sequin shower caps and leopard makeup/​travel bags… oh yeah!
If you sign up for a free Peninsula beauty card, you get $ 6 off every $ 80 purchase.
One-​stop shop for all your beauty needs. Heading back up to Palo Alto this weekend so I’ll be sure to swing by Peninsula Beauty.

This place is heaven for women! Every nail polish color imaginable by OPI & Essie! They also have other beauty products you can’t find at Ulta!
I bought my ghd IV hair straightener here because luckily I walked in while they were having a sale! And I know there are mixed reviews but whenever I come here I’m greeted by sweet and helpful sales girls. Once when I was purchasing my item the girl who was ringing me up gave me a shitload of free samples by Pureology. What girl doesn’t love that?
