Beautiful Moon Salon

About Beautiful Moon Salon

Beautiful Moon Salon is a small beauty salon at 464 University Avenue in downtown Palo Alto. It runs its bookings through Booksy, the online appointment platform, where the business is filed under skin care. The menu is much wider than that label suggests. In one place you can book a pedicure, a facial, a brow wax, lash extensions or a full highlight.

The salon is on the same stretch of University Avenue as the Graduate by Hilton hotel at 488 University. That makes it an easy stop for downtown office workers, for visitors staying nearby and for anyone who wants a few beauty services handled in one appointment block. The salon does not publish a founding date or an owner biography on its booking page, so this listing sticks to what it lists for clients today.

Services on the menu

Beautiful Moon groups its services into clear sections on Booksy. The names below follow the salon's own wording. Menus change, so check the booking page for the current list before you go.

• Nail services. Manicure, pedicure, gel manicure, gel pedicure and a manicure and pedicure combination. Add-ons include paraffin for hands or feet and an oil manicure treatment.
• Enhanced nail services. Acrylic full sets and fills, gel full sets and fills and silk fiberglass nails.
• Facials. A basic facial, an acne treatment, an AHA enzyme peeling and facial, an aromatherapy facial, microdermabrasion, an ultrasonic brightening facial and a collagen facial.
• Waxing and threading. Eyebrow, lip, chin and full face work by wax or thread, plus neck, back, arm, underarm, leg, bikini and Brazilian waxing.
• Lashes and brows. Eyelash extensions, an eyelash perm or lift, eyelash tint and eyebrow tint.
• Hair. Men's and women's haircuts, color retouch, all over color, full and partial highlights, toner, balayage, ombre and a mini face frame highlight.
• Permanent makeup. Permanent eyebrows, upper eyeliner, lower eyeliner and permanent full lip color.

The services Booksy features most often are the pedicure, the gel manicure and the eyebrow wax or thread. Those are the quick appointments most people fit into a lunch break.

How to book

Booking happens online. On the Booksy page you choose a service, then a team member and an open time. The platform then confirms the appointment. The team listed on the page includes Thania, Helen Tonn and Nina, who is listed as a stylist. The page shows the salon open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on the day we checked, but it does not publish a full weekly schedule. Use the booking calendar to see which days and times are open.

The salon does not list a phone number on its booking page. If you have a question about a service, such as how long a lash set takes or whether a facial suits sensitive skin, ask through Booksy or at the front desk before your appointment. Prices are posted on the booking page and can change, so confirm them when you book.

Who it suits

The broad menu is the main reason to choose Beautiful Moon. A visitor who wants a manicure and a brow shape before a dinner downtown can book both in one place. Clients who prefer threading to wax for facial hair can pick either method for the brows, lip and chin. The permanent makeup and lash services suit people who want longer lasting results than a regular tint.

Hair services cover cuts for men and women and a full range of color work, from a simple retouch to balayage. For a specialist hair salon or a dedicated spa day, the business directory lists other options in the city.

Tips for visiting

• Book ahead for evening and weekend slots, since a small salon can fill up fast before holidays.
• Allow extra time for permanent makeup or lash extensions and ask about aftercare when you book.
• Downtown parking can be tight on weekend afternoons. The Palo Alto Caltrain station sits at the foot of University Avenue, so the train is a good option.
• Pair the visit with a stroll along the street. Our guide to shopping University Avenue covers the stores nearby. The downtown neighborhood guide has cafes, restaurants and parking tips.
