I called on a Sunday afternoon for a Monday morning appointment and they fit me in easily! $49 for a gel manicure removal + new gel manicure not including tip. Very wide selection of colors. I came in with a reference photo of how I wanted my nails to look and they spent 10 minutes patiently picking out colors with me to ensure I got exactly what I envisioned. The shop was clean and every staff member was so sweet - they even offered me tea! Will definitely be coming back! read more

I would actually give this a 3.5. I've come here off and on for about 8 years -- I like that they take walk-ins or make appointments, nails usually last, they do a nice job, and are not as expensive as other places. Had to rate them lower because I'm not sure what has been going on with their salon, but they charged me $100 for a gel mani-pedi, with an up charge for "multiple colors" which they didn't mention until I was paying (and I've never had that happen here or elsewhere), and rushed through the scrubbing/lotion part. I was a walk-in, but I came back at the time they requested and they didn't seem busier than usual. They also asked if I had been there before but seemed skeptical or confused when I said I had off and on for years (I used to live in the neighborhood)...so idk if they were just off with me because they thought I was new or what. I was quiet, didn't rush them or anything, and even showed them that I picked the colors to match a flower I'd seen nearby so I don't think I offended them...anyways, $100 (I tipped separately via Venmo, $100 was the charge on my card) for a 3-color gel mani-pedi that is already chipped a week later is disappointing when press-ons last two weeks and other salons even regular nail polish has lasted longer. I've always liked the vibe of this place and the customers, very chill and unpretentious, with usually great service and lasting nails. But waiting until I was paying to communicate it was an upcharge for multiple colors seems kinda shady so I'd still recommend it, just make an appointment and be proactive about communicating re pricing or what's included in a service. read more

such a sweet group of ladies who work here! i came in as a walk-in and luckily everyone was available to take us on. they had many colors to choose from, both regular and gel polish. i needed a gel manicure removal, new gel manicure, and asked for a french tip design. mine came out to about $60. my partner got just a gel manicure and it was about $40. im quite impressed with the prepping because they put a lot of detail and attentiveness to it. my cuticles were spotless, such beautiful work. i also liked how they gave me a hand massage at the end! hehe the prices are posted on the outside (i forgot to take a pic!) but i would say it's reasonable for the care they put into it. my nails seem to be holding up well so id recommend for any locals here! read more

I came here on a Sunday afternoon for a walk-in gel manicure, and they were able to fit me in immediately! I was indecisive about what shade to go for, but they were patient and helped me figure out a color I liked. They were attentive to detail and efficient. All of their prices were reasonable without compromising quality, especially compared to other salons in SF. I'm usually hesitant to go for lighter pink shades since they can turn out patchy, but this was perfect. I am obsessed with the results! Will definitely be returning! read more

*First timer here* I wanted to get my nails done before EDC and decided to take a chance here. All I have to say is I should have came here a long time ago! They were able to take me in as a walk in :) I got a gel manicure. Cost was $38 (I don't get my nails done too often so I'm not sure if that's high, average, or low) but regardless, it was worth every cent! Got some nice green tea during my stay too! The attention to detail is superb and the hand massage at the end was amazing haha They have great selection of nail paint but I decided to get something a little holographic but natural for EDC. The pics I took don't give the nails justice! It's so pretty and reflective in person. Definitely coming back read more

Tracy texted me on 12/26 regarding my nails and said I could come in for a fixing, free of charge. She was able to get me in the next day at 12:30 luckily. We went back to doing dip and although that wasn't the most ideal for me, I was hesitant about cutting all my nails short and she noticed that so suggested dip again. She put tips on 3 on the broken ones and gave me a new set in a timely manner. I wasn't charged for the gel to dip change but I did tip (always tip!!). Thanks Tracy for the prompt responses and the customer service. read more

The best place I've been to in the city!! I used to get gel nails here (I do my own now, just because it's cheaper and easier on my schedule), and their gel nails are a reasonable price and always came out perfect. They also do good work with ingrown toenails (I get them pretty bad). The salon is nice and clean, and they have a good selection of polishes; I also appreciate that they tell you if something won't work. For example, I asked if they have chrome; they do, but my nail artist mentioned that she thought I might prefer a chrome-like topcoat, as the chrome powder tends to rub off easily (I went with the topcoat and loved it)! They also do simple nail art - I can't remember exactly how much it was, but I believe it was fairly cheap, which was nice! read more

I have no idea why I haven't updated this review to 5 stars sooner. Tracy and her wonderful team are always a marvel and a pleasure. I come by not only to get one of the best mani pedis in SF, but for some truly relaxing me time--get the extra 10-20 min massage! Always worth it. Water or tea (even mimosas sometimes) are offered. Recently I've tried out the gel powder nail extensions and they look absolutely marvellous. Really natural, easy, and extra stunning with a French tip (suggested by Tracy, since they're trending right now)--try it in a bold colour like red! (See my pics. They don't do it justice!) Talented, kind team who always go the extra mile. Thank you! read more

I see the multitude of positive reviews here but had to add my experience because it was different. the ladies working there were very very nice - no complaints about that at all. however, I had acrylic nails done. the first few days were fine. then I noticed redness at the base which started peeling around the cuticle, became swollen, skin at base started peeling, and became painful to the touch. after a few days of it not improving. I started antibiotics which helped with pain but my nail ( after removing acrylics) had a yellow area and it looks like nail is coming off the nail bed. after doing some research and speaking with a physician, it looks like a fungal infection, which is likely due to instruments that were not cleaned well.So, my advice is to please check and ask how the equipment and tools are cleaned before you have a service done. My ongoing issue with my nail is concerning and inconvenient and may actually result in the entire nail coming off the nail bed to regrow. ugh. read more

I went here yesterday with my friend and was so excited to get our nails done for the first time in months! I am Vietnamese and speak Vietnamese fluently and before I could introduce myself I heard these ladies saying the most horrible things about their other customers - calling them "old" and "fat" and "cheap" and plotting ways to overcharge certain customers who they thought were being difficult!! I stayed quiet to see if they would say anything about me (obvi) and out of the gate they talked shit about my tattoos, said I looked like a whore, said I was fat, talked poorly about my nails. I called them out eventually and they didn't talk for the remaining 30 min and tried to back pedal so hard. Most nail salons are Vietnamese owned and I've been to so many where the women are kind, patient, professional and supportive. This is NOT that kind of establishment and I don't feel great about seeing women tip other women who have been verbally abusing them throughout an experience that should be relaxing. If you *feel* like they're talking bad about you here - they are. And they will overcharge you every step of the way. I personally would pay a premium for a more welcoming and inclusive establishment. read more

I only got a pedi for $26-$28, so I definitely should have gone to get both! The offer beverages, the green tea is pure oriental green tea which was good. I think they have a policy for redoing nails if they chil because some customers came in to get their gel redone after it chipped. Good to know.

I always leave with a perfect gel mani and pedi, which endure the abuse of my clumsiness over 2-3 weeks. My friends have gotten acrylics and dips done here too, and they look great and last.

Tracy did my mani (French gel) and Jen worked on my pedi (regular polish). They both did an excellent job. Tracy especially really took her time to get my nails PERFECT. Both ladies could have easily rushed to get me out of the establishment by 7pm close but no. They worked diligently to deliver an awesome product.

Extremely underwhelming results after a full year of monthly treatment. According to what I read…read moreonline and was told in store, I am an ideal skin/hair type (light skin, dark coarse hair) but have noticed minimal change after 10 treatments and what was supposed to achieve a 95% decrease in facial hair growth. The sensation each treatment varied widely depending on the technician. One month it was what I expected - a sharp sensation like getting snapped with a rubber band. The next I barely felt it. I asked why, and if they had decreased the settings, but was told that as my follicles are weakened I will feel it less so this is an indication that the treatment is working. Cool, makes sense. It goes on like this for a while, but towards the end of the year I have another technician and that sharp sensation is back, much more like what I had experienced before. Was the bit about getting used to it BS? The fact that there's been no meaningful change in my hair growth would suggest that either the treatment was improperly administered, or otherwise unsuccessful. Either way, it is BY FAR the worst $2500 I've ever spent and I caution anyone considering laser to be very wary. Don't believe the 5 star reviews that are given as a result of bribes for deals - I am sure laser actually works for some people and there are real happy customers, but based on my experience discussing with others the success ratio is far lower than reviews or marketing suggests.

Her approach is natural and grounded, and she creates an environment where you feel completely at ease. With a wide range of products, services and fair pricing, it's easy to find exactly what fits your needs. I always leave feeling taken care of and I book my next appointment before I walk out the door. I recommend City Laser SF wholeheartedly, especially Rena.

I got 3 sessions of regular microneedling done back in 2024. After researching a few different…read moremedispas, I chose City Laser because of the combination of RN staff as well as pricing (middle of the range). A package of 3 sessions cost $1350 - each session would normally be priced at $500, so $10% off with the package. As a previous reviewer wrote and what prompted me to add my own review, the whole session was haphazard. I am a microneedling veteran for over 5 years, and have been home-needling + one session at a dermatologist to address some old atrophic acne scars. I thought continuing professional treatments would be the key to seeing more improvements. Wild occurrences with Rena the owner include: being asked to put on my own numbing cream with no real instructions even after asking specific questions, no verbal explanation of what was being done or when we were starting, microneedling over my neck which I specifically said was NOT a focus area and thus did not put numbering cream on (ouch!), a total of less than 5 min of microneedling without changing depths over more severe scarring areas, and forgetting every time that I did not want blood drawn for PRP. Most of the appointment, which never lasted more than 30 min total including numbing cream self application and waiting for it to kick in, was Rena bragging about her kid and other clients who supposedly come to her exclusively (including calling out specifically trans and minorities like this was a collector's display case). I was seriously flabbergasted at what I was experiencing and wanted to finish my 3 sessions ASAP. Have seen no visible improvement after 2 years. Some of the mask and facial cream freebies were nice, but unfortunately not worth $1350! Highly recommend shelling out a bit more to go to a licensed dermatologist.

I've always been super scared about getting a Brazilian despite my relatively high pain tolerance. I decided to bite the bullet by booking with Erin after a long day at work. In all honesty, she made the experience so much easier and relaxing even despite the pain and discomfort that comes from these waxes specifically. Upon walking in, she instantly greeted me and was super welcoming. I used the bathroom before my wax to calm my nerves and walked into such a pretty and pink glittery bathroom! Not gonna lie, it was a pretty good distraction lol. Like any person would, I was pretty nervous but I decided to go for it because of the results. It was so worth it. It does hurt, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be. Your first wax always hurts the most because obviously you don't know what to expect, but it does get better after the first strip. I have to say though, what really helped ease my nerves was how chill the whole environment was. The staff makes every client feel welcome, and in my case Erin was super friendly, thorough, and overall such a vibe. It made the entire experience feel a lot less intimidating. They also have complimentary snacks and drinks and initially I passed on them because of how nervous I was, but after my session, best believe I ran to the snack station. As an SF native, I am proud to say that I will be returning to reWAXation as a regular! I am so glad I found this gem. Thank you to Erin and the team for making this experience so much less daunting and a bit more fun!

She is calm, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. I'm someone who tends to faint during blood draws or shots, but every time I've gotten Dysport from Haley, she has known exactly how to help prevent that. She has a wonderful bedside manner and does a great job keeping me calm, comfortable, and distracted, so I don't work myself up. She's also very quick, and the treatment is nearly pain-free, which I imagine takes real skill. On top of that, her work looks so natural, which I really appreciate. The clinic itself is very clean, and every staff member I've interacted with has been kind, understanding, and professional. Pricing is on the higher side compared with some other places, but in my experience, you really get what you pay for. They also have a rewards program, which is a nice bonus. Everything about Skin Spirit has gone above and beyond!

I've been seeing Maria for years and she is truly a gem. I completely wrecked my skin barrier at…read moreone point trying to DIY my skincare with too many actives, and my skin was constantly irritated and reactive. Maria helped repair my skin with personalized skincare recommendations and treatments, and my skin already looks and feels so much better. Her product recommendations are amazing, which says a lot because most products used to leave my skin worse off than before. She's also worked with me through two pregnancies and always tailors everything to what's safe and appropriate for that stage, which I really appreciate. Navigating skincare during pregnancy can be such a struggle and it feels so good knowing my skin can still look great during this stage of life. I've done Ulthera with her and had a great experience. The treatment itself can be a little stingy, but the care and attention she provides makes the whole experience feel incredibly supportive and almost spa-like. I still have more I want to do (BBL and Sculptra next!), and I trust her completely. Her own skin is glowing which is the best proof she knows exactly what she's doing. I can't recommend Maria enough. Thank you Maria, for all of your help!

Unfortunately for the second time it was during the gua sha (haha) so I don't remember most of that part. My face was glowing both times. I like how they include tip in the price. I knocked off a star because they charge a $10 credit card fee but the cost is too high to be carrying cash for it. I have bought a Gua sha tool from them, specifically to help with pressure points and migraines. I also got an attar balm recommended by my aesthetician to help with my dry patches on my cheek.
