There are plenty of nail salons on Union Street and I've been to most of them. I tried Union Nails…read morethis week and had a good experience. They have a large selection of colors, and I loved the red speckled shade I chose. This is a basic, no-frills salon -- no massage chairs, just a long bench with pillows -- but they took their time and did a really nice job. Amy is great. I walked home in flip flops and later changed into flats, which unfortunately ruined my big left toenail (ugh!). I went back the next day and they fixed it without any issue. I appreciated that and would come back again.

I wish I didn't have to post this review after coming to this nail salon a few times already, but…read morethis was by far the worst pedicure I have EVER gotten. When I sat down in the chair, I specifically told the person doing my nails that I had not gotten a pedicure in awhile (6 months actually) since the last time I got one, they cut the sides of my toenails and I got such bad ingrowns and my nails literally split from how bad they were. I had to grow them out for that long and had not touched them so my right toenail was a little uneven from the split. She said Ok and said she would be careful. She asked if she could cut just the top of the nail to make it even and square. I said yes, and then repeated that I did NOT want anything on the sides of my toes touched. Despite MULTIPLE times telling her that, she took it upon herself to "clean up" the sides of my big toenails by cutting them at a 45° angle.... the EXACT thing that the previous salon did that absolutely destroyed my nails. When I realized, I asked her, and she tried to defend herself while lying multiple times. She had the audacity to say 1. My nails were already like that, then changed her story to 2. That she was "cutting away" the excess nail polish she had put on away". And then again changed her story to 3. That she actually didn't cut them at all and didn't know what I was talking about. I then said, no you absolutely cut them, why would you cut the inside of the nail when I SPECIFICALLY said at least 2-3 times not to? She replied with, well they're already cut, I can't do anything now. AND THEN TRIED TO CUT THE SIDES AGAIN MORE SAYING SHE WAS TRYING TO FIX IT. I literally had to push her hand away and say "absolutely not, please stop touching my nail." When I walked in, I asked for 2 coats funny bunny, 1 coat bubble bath. Well, 7 coats later and her saying bubble bath wouldn't look very good. I had to accept that my nails were just not going to look acceptable at al. You can actually still see the brush strokes of the polish... AFTER 7 COATS!! It was absolutely absurd how they could not achieve a simple combination that is by far the most popular nail polish combo right now. After she said she was done, I paid, and I couldn't get out of there fast enough. I was on the bridge of tears knowing how long it had taken me to recover from my previous nail fiasco and how long it was going to take to recover from this. I am getting married in August and honestly so sad that my nails might still be affected by this. When I got home, I burst into tears and couldn't believe the state of my nails. After more inspection, I realized she DIDN'T EVEN PAINT MY RIGHT PINKY TOE!!!! I am going to a wedding abroad on Wednesday, so as you can imagine, I was pissed. I had to file down some of my other nails because they were shaped so badly. My big toes don't even look the same shape. I walked back into the store before a dinner reservation and asked for a refund. She asked me to take off my shoes so she could inspect my toes. I told her what had happened and that my pinky toe wasn't even painted. She said she couldn't offer me a refund, just a gift certificate since the service was completed. I responded with... well not really cause my toe was not painted and she specifically did something I asked her not to do. I didn't even mention how bad the nail polish application was since I thought it was pretty fricken apparent and had an uber waiting. I ended up taking the gift certificate since I was in a hurry, and they said I could come back to get them redone and there would be a different person there to do them. I don't know why they would think I would EVER go back there again, but I will be filing a dispute with my CC company. So sad since I had been here multiple times before and live down the street. Would NOT recommend.

They're friendly and have a great selection of colors. $55 for mani pedi. Massage chairs. Candy. All the things a person could ask for in a quick experience. The only problem tonight was there was a man getting his nails done who was on his phone for a while a few times while I was there. He was really, really loud and my relaxing detox from my hectic day was spoiled.

It ended up getting kind of busy while I was there and I feel like the technician working on my manicure was rushing a little, but I'm happy with how my nails turned out. She mixed a couple of shades together to make something natural and pink for me, and I love how the color turned out. This is not the place for you if you're particular about cleanliness and ambiance. It's not a spa-like experience, and the space is quite small so if you're getting your hands done you are somewhat close to the feet of the people getting pedicures done. I didn't really mind this until another customer asked for callous removal, but there's nothing they can really do about it. I think the price is really reasonable (especially for the area). I didn't have anything on my nails and got a full set of gel x for $65 (before tip). I asked about chrome and was told it is $15 extra, but I decided not to get it on this mani. All in all, I think this is a great place to get your nails done if you care more about the results than the process.

It is a small salon, but chairs are comfortable and there were plenty of staff. My technician did a great job with my nails, the polish looks great! I wish they would have spent a little more time on the prep and massage portion, but overall it was a good experience. My friend did gel and they did a job prepping her nails and the gel turned out good. A nice salon in the heart of the marina!

Zorina is the classiest nail salon that I've visited in San Francisco. It's clean, quiet (no…read morescreaming or loud talking at all), beautifully aesthetic & everyone is polite. I learned about Russian manicures & pedicures & how the nail service is meticulous, especially with cuticle care. I heard about Zorina from a friend & made an appointment online for a gel pedicure with a master level nail tech. Milana, my nail tech, showed me the fresh nail kit before she began. She spent a lot of time removing rough skin & dry cuticles. She was very gentle too. My feet were so soft afterwards! I chose a pale pink color to start but changed to a slightly more pink gel polish. The top coat was either clear, silver sparkle or gold sparkle & we agreed that silver sparkle would be subtle & pretty. They offer complementary beverages including hot tea, coffee, water or champagne where the QR code is next to the service chair. I just had water & was given the cutest little wooden bowl of snacks (mixed nuts, died fruit & a bit of chocolate). The quality of service is worth the price point to me & I'm returning next week for a gel manicure.

Each time, my nails last between 4 and 7 weeks and are extremely strong and sturdy because of the hard gel. Every time I go in, Leyla and the nail techs at Zorina are kind, welcoming, hospitable, patient, and will always give me their advice on what will look best if I ask for it. They are perfectionists on nail shaping and take their work so seriously. I've always done my nails myself because I'm quite picky, but Zorina has exceeded my expectations each and every time I get a manicure. The salon is super clean, the tools are sterilized, and there is always a girly movie/show playing on TV. There is a menu available with different drinks and snacks, and I'm always offered a water when I sit down. Zorina employees go above and beyond to make me feel pampered! I have told so many of my friends about Zorina and how happy my manicures make me. If you want a perfect manicure that will last, I highly recommend Zorina Nail--my favorite studio I've ever tried and will stay loyal to!

I was hesitant when she showed me the color on the first nail, but she said the color would get darker. I waited and it did not get darker, then I realized they weren't using the color I asked for. Oh well I guess. They also filed my nails super thin and took a lot more length off than I asked for. My nails weren't the healthiest to begin with, so maybe that was necessary, but they feel so thin now. It just felt like they were racing through the whole thing. I do love getting in and out quickly though! Price was also good - $60.
