    I love DAT nails. Not only have they helped my nails grow (shout out to the hard gel) but the staff is kind, friendly and dependable. They do fun nail art too!

    Nail design

    I had the best experience at DAT Nail Salon! Kat spent so much time on my nails and paid incredible attention to detail. She recommended a nail shape I've fallen in love with and absolutely killed the design I wanted to do. She was so kind and worked with me to make sure the design and colors were exactly what I wanted. My nails turned out absolutely perfect--I've never been happier with them. The shape is amazing and the quality is fantastic. I'm a little over a week out, and they still look great. I'm extremely happy with my experience, would recommend to everyone and will definitely be back!

    Nails I got

    I asked multiple times for my nail shape to be redone, but they still didn't turn out anything like what I asked for. I felt uncomfortable having to repeat myself so much, and even after all that, I left with nails I really dislike. I paid $90 and now have to spend more money and time to get them fixed somewhere else. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this salon based on my visit.

    I don't usually write reviews, but I feel it's important to share this experience so others can make an informed decision. I had an appointment at this salon for my birthday, something I was genuinely excited about. Unfortunately, it turned into one of the most frustrating and disappointing experiences I've ever had. I arrived on time for my 9:00 AM appointment--actually, I was there at 8:58. The technician assigned to me, Arina, didn't even show up until 9:15, and didn't begin working on my nails until around 9:30. From the beginning, she was rough and careless--she cut my cuticles multiple times, leaving my fingers sore and irritated. When she applied the gel, I noticed immediately that it was not the color I had asked for. I pointed it out, but instead of taking responsibility, she said, "I don't know," and offered to start over--but by then I had already been there for over an hour and a half. I felt like I had no good option, so I told her to just finish. Once done, my nails were thick, uneven, the wrong shape, and the wrong color. On top of that, my fingers were already starting to hurt. When I paid, the owner said I could come back later or the next day to have them fixed, but I told her I didn't have time. Later that day, my fingers began to itch and burn, and I had to reach out to request a refund and have the nails removed. When I returned the next morning, they had Arina--the same technician--remove them. She was rough again, rushed the process, and caused even more pain. I asked her to be gentle, but it didn't seem to matter. This salon is neglectful and unprofessional. Good reviews aside, no one should leave a nail appointment feeling hurt, frustrated, and worse than when they arrived. I gave them a chance despite the mixed reviews, but I regret it deeply. Please take this into account before booking.

    Love this place! Moved to San Francisco a few months ago and got a lot of recommendations to come here, Arina does such an amazing job and is so attentive to detail, love her!

    I've been going here for years and have always had a great experience and gotten exactly what I wanted / asked for. I don't normally write reviews but I felt compelled to after witnessing a customer's unfortunate behavior today towards a tech. The tech was doing exactly what the customer asked for and I just knew it was going to result in an unwarranted 1 star review (and sure enough it did). The same tech worked on my nails after and did a beautiful job!

    Gel mani plus nail art with gold foil

    They have a new employee, Laysa, who is so amazing. If u have the chance to book a nail art apt with her DO NO MISS OUT. Her creativity flows while also pulling a classic tea therapy sesh. Very thankful she had joined the team. My nails from her are always well done (she is very meticulous and always checking in for satisfaction) and on point at every level.

    Please do not come here. Services are so overpriced for what they are. The lady doing my nails left me bleeding on most of my fingers. I still had to pay and tip because the workers are insanely cheap and would rather make a profit than worry about a customer getting a potential infection or being in pain. And the owner Kat couldn't care less either

    Close up of my hand.

    Kat and her team do a fantastic job withnails and toesies. They can do any design I've thrown at them.

    The first nail salon that I've been to in the city that seats you at the time of your appointment! They were quick and efficient and did exactly what I wanted for my design. Tons of colors to choose from. They also thinned my acrylics which doesn't always happen at other places! The studio is quaint and not crowded. But they are booked early so book in advance.

    Day after looks like I need a fill. Hard to tell but huge space between the extension and my cuticles

    I'VE PROBABLY SPENT HALF OF THE AMOUNT I'VE SPENT ON GETTING MY NAILS DONE WITH THEM, ON UBERS TO GET THEM TO FIX MY NAILS. *****PLEASE READ BEFORE GOING***** I They were one of the first and only salons to offer Gel X and with decent prices. This is one of those situations where you really want to like the salon and keep ignoring the red flags because you don't have other good options. I saw a tik tok about it and I like supporting small women owned businesses. Kat, the owner, seemed super passionate and involved. Texting to schedule my appointments was easy. I even brought a friend for her birthday, and she had a nightmare experience with getting cut and bleeding. I was really embarrassed. The issue is their subpar work. Almost every time, I've gotten weirdly shaped nails that are really uneven. What's crazy about that is that the Gel x nails are pre made. Meaning it's hard to mess the shape up. The first time it happened they made it easy for me to come back to fix. I texted and they got me in so I thought I'd try it again. However, it costed me time and money. The second time was even worse and it looked like I needed a fill. So I texted again making it clear that the shape, the space, and the color were issues for me. They were so lazy and just filed my nails down instead of redoing them. When I brought up the color change they gave me a hard time and tried to make me pay for that. I had to reiterate that the situation was an inconvenience to me and basic nails ended up costing me so much more due to transportation. They didn't like that. Today, they canceled my appointment because I wanted to do a French tip with soft gel and they felt like it would not look how I wanted it to ( I sent an inspo pic). So, I said I would just do a single color. They didn't offer me other options and said that the staff had a rough time previously and that they didn't want to do it, I could understand if the issues I had were minor and I was just coming back to get my nails redone but as you can see in the photos that isn't the case. I think if you like a design or if you don't care about shape this is the place for you. But if you want quality this is not it. I'm going to try Zorina nails for a Russian mani.

    I was going to get a mani pedi but my mani ended up being so bad that I just wanted to get out as soon as possible. They cut me multiple times and the end result was not worth the pain.

    DAT nail salon is my new go to spot. Honestly, it's been so difficult finding a nail place that meets all my needs. I've had a hard time finding a place that respects my time, does a clean and concise manicure, knows how to create really great nail art and doesn't leave my pockets empty. I knew the minute I had to choose what kind of manicure I wanted/if I wanted gel with art, more complicated art or acrylics and so forth, I knew they cared about how much time was dedicated to a customer and they were also letting the clients know they respected everyone's time. I had to log on to their website and sign up for my appt and indicate which service I wanted. They ask us to text them some time before the appt the nail art we want so they are prepared. I arrived about 10 mins early because they asked me to do so so they could prep my nails since I still had gel on. They sat everyone down who had an appt at 5pm at or around 5pm and there was another customer there who had signed up for one of the gel services but changed her mind to acrylic. The worker told her she could not do aryclic because she hadn't allotted the time and would have to wait for next time. Anyways, they worked very well and quickly through the one hour and 10 mins I was there, their manicure was clean and I absolutely loved my nail art. I'm also on week 3 of gel manicure and my nails are still looking good as ever.

I chose to come to Nue Beauty because the brow lamination package was a good deal and because of their prime location. Christina really took her time with the service and did brow mapping before removing any hairs, which I've never had before. I appreciate the brow mapping because, instead of my usual arched brow, I wanted to try out a straight brow. This reassured me that I'd get the shape I wanted, and needless to say, my brows turned out amazing. On top of the fantastic service, Christina was a great conversationalist-- the time flew by, and it was good vibes all around. I've already booked my next appointment with Christina for a lash lift after seeing her work on TikTok. I look forward to trying out their other services as well. Highly recommend this spot!

I visited back in May and did a brow lamination and tint, and lash lift and tint. I have had this service done at several places before without issue. Upon leaving I thought it was different than i had done it before and maybe just needed to adjust. Idk. On further reflection she must have switched the products or burned them somehow. Half my eyelashes were kinked. Yes i followed aftercare perfectly. Then my eyelashes fell out and at some point were itchy and my lid was swollen. I'm not post photos but have them, and she has seen them. My eyebrows also were like hard and wouldn't move. Later they started falling out too. She gave me a full refund when I send her pics. But this is before everything started falling out. I had to buy a lash serum to grow them back. And then in August I started noticing that my eyebrows were falling out. I thought they were shedding normally and going back to blonde. NOPE! They weren't growing back at all. I went to the dr and it is 100% because of what she did. I now am using rogaine to regrow them. It's taking forever and she also refused to pay for product to help grown them back. It's probably going to be another 2-3 months of me looking awful because of Perri. Have the Holiday you deserve.

My first gel x set with them was decent but nothing great. I noticed I developed quite a few hang nails afterwards but thought maybe it was user error.

I walked in and was kindly greeted by a woman who asked what I needed and quickly sat me down to get the service started. Another woman came to where I was seated and began digging at my nails and yanking my hand. With every use of the drill she tore at my cuticles more and more. She then proceeded to use the cuticle scissors and ripped away at what was left of my cuticles. My entire left hand was left bleeding and in excruciating pain, to the point where my nails looked like I got in a fight and lost. It wasn't until she realized all my fingers on my left hand were bleeding that she stopped yanking at my hand and seemed to care about the terrible job she had been doing for the last hour. She finished my nails and told me she didn't charge me for the fill.... As if she was doing me a favor. I didn't want to pay but reluctantly did anyways but of course I did not tip her.
