I am a huge nail girly and this is my absolute favorite nail salon. I have been coming here for over 10 years. I now live in Oakland and still come see Trang and the ladies for manicures/pedicures and waxing all at great prices. I like getting very fun and intricate nail designs and they do an amazing job each time. Since it is a small salon, appointments are always timely and I never waste time waiting. They always offer water/tea/coffee and the atmosphere is great. Whether you're looking for a simple mani/pedi or an intricate nail design, this is the place!! read more

Friendly ladies. Especially Jen, who does great work with acrylic nails. Today I felt like simplifying my look, so I went for a gel manicure. After a short wait, Jen got started on my pedicure while another technician took on the arduous task of removing all of my acrylics and giving me a fresh new gel manicure using Big Apple Red. Both ladies were friendly, professional and gentle. Clean shop as well! read more

Wow. Pleasantly surprised at this place. I got a pedicure on a Saturday afternoon. I made an appointment although I don't know if it was necessary. Jan did my pedicure and she was so nice and friendly. Personally, I prefer getting a pedicure that has the massage chair and tub for my feet. Here they put the plastic liners on so it's sanitary. The last place I went to Aqua nails on Geary although they were very nice they did not have the massage chair with pedicure tubs so they manually brought a foot bath which I did not like. Pedicure was $35 plus I had her add some designs for an extra $5. I'm very pleased with the way it looks and she did a nice job. They also accept credit card and don't hassle you to pay in cash like other salons. I think I found my new pedicure spot. read more

As you can tell by my reviews, I have been to many nail shops. I have been getting acrylics on & off for about 10 years. I started coming here when I lived in the area & only stopped because after I moved it was a pain to get to. BUT after my last two attempts to get my nails done elsewhere, i knew i HAD to come back so i could finally be happy with the outcome. I am NOT going anywhere else again. I have sensitive, thin nails & they always make sure not to painfully pry off my old nails, & if needed will even soak them a bit to make it easier. i HIGHLY appreciate this. They always cut my nails before applying tips, & always make sure the length/shape is what i'm going for. They are always consistent with they're work!!! They do amazing work for an extremely reasonable price. They always remember my face even when i've came in after being gone a year. They are all super sweet & so good at what they do!! thank you guys again for always being so accommodating! read more

I used to like this place. Three years ago, I even had them do my wedding nails. But, no more! They wasted my time and made me feel so ugly. I got to the salon around 6:30. Prior to arriving, I called and confirmed that it was ok to come and that it was not to late since they close at 7. I walked in and there were no customers, only three workers. I asked if I can do a gel manicure and add a pedicure and they said cheerily that they would do it no problem. The three workers worked on me to start, but eventually two left around 7 and one remained to finish my manicure. The worker that did my manicure seemed annoyed that it was after 7 and started doing a really botched job, which confused me since they told me they wanted to take me. I wished they would have just been honest and said they were closing soon. That would have been fine with me instead of wasting my time and money. As you can see from the picture, I did not get what I had asked for. The top picture is what I wanted and the bottom two pictures are of what they did to my nails. Not only is the filing uneven and the glitter design hideous and lazy, the gel polish is already coming up at the edges after not even 24 hours. I would go back there to have them fix it, but I don't want them to touch me ever again and don't want to waste my time. In addition, I don't want to deal with their attitudes or fake nice-ness. I'm Vietnamese, so I understand a little Vietnamese. These ladies are so nasty. Two called me fat a bunch of times and then the one that stayed later was on the phone with her friend and called me something equivalent to a bitch because she had to stay late finishing my nails. The whole time I was there, I was super nice to them. I even gave them over a 25% tip despite how upset I was. I tend to cut my people some slack, but this is ridiculous. I have been fuming over my experience and nails since I left their salon. I want to let this go, but I feel like a victim and I need to let others know. Don't waste your time, don't waste your money. And oh yeah, if you think they are talking sh*t about you, they are. They are just mean people despite their smiling and high pitch voices. read more

Came in for the first time today and fell in love with this place!!! Called and made an appointment an hour later. I came in with my dad who got a pedicure and a manicure. I got an acrylic full set. I came in with a picture of what i wanted. Lynn did my acrylics and shaped them perfectly. She took her time making sure every nail was perfect. Then i had Tramy do my pedicure and do the polish design on my fingernails. She was able to create a beautiful marble design and payed careful attention to every detail making sure i would like them. They came out so beautiful! Im obsessed with them. She even added gold embellishments. They are my favorite set I have ever gotten. I love them so much. Im so happy with them. Thuy did my dad's mani/pedi and they came out great as well. We both are very happy. All three of the ladies are super sweet and welcoming! Highly recommend! The price is very reasonable as well. It was $124 all together for a manicure, 2 pedicures, and my acrylic set which was gel and had designs. I will definitely be back! read more

I've gone here twice now for acrylic fill with regular nail polish and they do a fairly nice job for $25 (not including the tip). I think they're really nice and I like how calm it is. I have only done walk-ins on a weekday morning, so I get seated right away. It takes about 45 mins. However, I do think they could be a little more detail oriented in regards to filing my nail shape and making sure my cuticles are out of the way. Also, they have a really cute place with a lot of natural light, but they could make it so much better by redecorating and reorganizing. It's currently looking a little dated and tacky. With so many nail salons in the neighborhood, they have a good price, but they should probably try to stay in the competition by making their atmosphere more appealing. read more

Never had to wait too long for service here as they are always well staffed and efficient. Been here a handful of times, the staff work as a team so that everyone gets service without too much of a wait. The mani/pedis are a decent price for the level of care and detail they put into it. Plus, it's in a quiet corner of Clement, so quiet and relaxing, I dozed off a few times while there.

I first heard about this place from my friend Annie. Her nails looked so good I knew I had to try it out. I love it! This nail shop can get super busy so make sure you make appointments especially when you want a get set with nail art on it. Trang is the best gel set nail art lady there is! You can see she concentrates so much on making sure your nails look good and she is just awesome at what she does. (picture above) Gel nails are way more natural looking and healthier for you! It is more expensive though.. Depending on what kind of design you get, prices can range from around $50. I got mine for $53 with $10 tips = $63! I made sure to make an appointment before July 4th to get my nails all pretty again! read more

You should call for an appointment first if your interested to do Trang's Japanese Nail 3D Art. And if your looking for more of a Hello Kitty design, make sure to ask if she has some available. I called Friday to make an appointment for Monday at 11:30 AM. Came on that day, and met Trang for the first time. She showed me her book full of designs and they were all cute. Told her what I wanted, she took her time on my nails, and was patient with me picking which design I wanted/where to put on my nails. The price is not that bad, $65 and plus tip. Other places would charge ALOT. Trang gets her nail art designs ( meaning her lil beads, hello kitty, ribbons, rhinestones and etc.) from Japan. Trang's very friendly and attentive, she kept reminding my friend to watch out for the DPT guy since we were parking by the meter which was sweet of her. Now I have found my official nail shop to go to. Pics are up also (: read more

Trang is my girl! You think it, she'll do it. All of those super crazy, sassy, 3D, gianormous designs, she'll do them. I start describing something to her, a little bit of this, a dash of that... and she's totally got it. Loving it... I get compliments all the time. Her prices are really reasonable for San Francisco too. Minus one star because sometimes she overbooks (trying to please everybody) and is in a rush. So some poor attention to detail, aka, cuticles/edges. But still, totally worth it and I have always had a good experience here. This is not a high-end salon btw. You get the service you want, but not all of that champagne treatment. If you want to sip sparkling cider and rose petals this is not the place. read more

So far, this is the only place I know that does the super embellished nail designs. I love it because they have a large collection of magazines and catalogs from where you can pick out a design for the nail technician to recreate. I'm very finicky when it comes to details in hair, nails, and makeup...so I was a bit nervous when the technician was putting on rhinestones and lace tape super fast. To me, each nail in the picture I selected looked like a work of fine art, so I expected meticulous placement of each embellishment. However, she did an alright job. It wasn't as perfect as I would have liked it, but like I said, I'm a bit anal-retentive. Price after tip--like $60. Picture posted. I'd go back again whenever I have that much to blow and feel like rocking classy-hood-rat nails for 3 weeks again. read more

Lately, I've been really intrigued by 3d nail art, especially with Hello Kitty designs. I read the reviews here and looked at all the pictures, and it looked so cute! I HAD to make an appointment with Trang. I came here on a Saturday afternoon and looked through the photo album of nail designs. I really wanted a design with Hello Kitty art on it, but Trang told me that she just ran out of the Hello Kitty 3d art. She had a couple different Hello Kitty 3d art left, so she used those on me. She was very nice and recommended me colors that would look nice on my nails. Trang is a genius at creating designs on nails! I would definitely come back here to get my nails done, just not all the time. I feel really handicapped with fake nails on :( If you want Hello Kitty 3d nails, call in first and ask Trang if she has any Hello Kitty art left because it runs out very fast. I have gotten a lot of compliments on my nails which was really nice :) $60 for gel nails with designs. read more

This is the cleanest facility I have ever seen in my life. And the most amount of color options, cat eye, chrome, etc. I got their deluxe pedicure and it was actually relaxing. I used to go to a mall nail salon where it was very much bustling and busy and it would just be so overstimulating. At T's I felt genuinely chill. My lady was very gentle and precise with the cleaning. Toes looking fabulous for an event I'm going to tomorrow. It did take a little long but that's my fault I picked cat eye LOL Will definitely be coming back here again, in about two weeks when I know I'll need a good foot scrub and callous remover pedicure.

Will definitely be coming back if I need to get my nails done!

A very tasteful, custom design for an 11 y.o. They lasted almost 4 weeks but finally time to take them off. We made an appt for 2:30 today and due to Jenny not getting the message we had to wait about 30-40 minutes. Not the biggest deal, really nice out and our favorite boba spot just a few blocks down Polk St. When we got back the other woman in the shop started taking off the gels, they were taking a while to saturate enough to fully remove so the cotton with acetone and foil had to stay on longer. My daughter's fingers started burning and when we let them know, Jenny prompted the other woman to take a look. Not ready yet so while the owner was finishing up with another client this other woman needed to take care of it. At one point a customer had to ask this other woman to help my daughter, that she would kindly wait. It took over an hour to remove and clean up her nails, no manicure after. Two hours later my daughter's poor fingers are still burning. Jenny was quite apologetic and adjusted the price as a courtesy. We love Jenny but maybe she needs some more support in her shop.

I really don't believe this place is good at all! I went in for a pedicure +a gel set equals to total inhumane torture. First they told me it's only a 10 minute wait time when I got there and it turned out to be like a freaking 45 minute wait time. Second then they accidentally (maybe purposely?) cut into my skin while they were doing my gel set and left me with an inch long cut on my finger. Third is that lady Tranh who was doing my gel set was talking shit about me and some other customers with her fellow co-worker in Vietnamese. Do they even acknowledged the fact that I might understand Vietnamese too? So much for their shit talking and for don't knowing what the hell they are doing, I swear this is the shittiest nail salon I ever been to in my god damn life!! read more

So after reading all the great reviews I went and I'm sadly disappointed. I had a manicure done with the gel nails. They looked alright from far away however up close you could see it was on the side of my finger and lots of extra polish underneath my nail. Well I let it go since gel last forever no big deal. Nope they began to crack after three days! I've gotten it done where it only crack after a week and a half or longer. So it's been a week and a half and my nails have cracked and are peeling. Horrible horrible job done! Not happy at all. It's s cheap 20 for a cheap job... read more
