Dreams Hair & Beauty Salon is an attractive, friendly full-service salon in downtown San Bruno offering haircuts, manicures, pedicures, facials, waxes and massages. Owner Carmen Villagran opened the salon three years ago after working at an up-scale salon in San Mateo. She named it "Dreams" because it fulfilled her dream of owning a business. The idea of dreams also plays a role in how Villagran treats customers. "They come into the shop and aren't always sure what they want," she says. "I listen to them carefully and try to full their dreams of how they want to look."
Art of Reflexology/Quick Fix is a small massage parlor set up inside the Tanforan mall. Professional masseuse chairs are set up in between kiosks where customers can sit and get massages right on the spot, before or after shopping at the surrounding stores.
The Invitation, considered by some as one of San Bruno's best-kept secrets, provides extensive skin care and pampering treatments to help relax and rejuvenate your body. Owner Lori Thomas and her staff of licensed massage therapists offer hot stone treatments and therapeutic massage. Body waxing, peels, facials, microdermabrasion and specialized treatments for acne and rosacea are also available.
The building, once a test house for noise-minimizing windows, remains a peaceful locale along bustling San Bruno Avenue. It is a gay-friendly business and kids and pets are welcome.
