I live in Los Angeles but whenever I'm in SF I must get my nails done at Fabulous nails! They are the best and pay close attention to details. I've been getting gel manicures for a decade and I can admit I'm particular. My nails never chip or break after getting my nails done here!

Three weeks later and still amazing!

I've been coming to this nail salon for a few years now. They always do an amazing job and they last so long!

Regular manicure w OPI polish.

GO HERE. This is my new favorite nail salon. I had been going to the other well known one on Geary but had some frustrating encounters, plus the quality of the manicure and polish was disappointing. Don't let the outside appearance of this place fool you. The results are fantastic. My manicure is well shaped and glossy. They do an excellent job!!!!

Kelly has been doing my nails for over 10 years. I have always had square shaped nails and don't like change. But she talked me into changing my shape to almond and I love it! She is the best!

I love this place it's been my go to for the last few years. I love family owned businesses and Kelly and her cousin are always so kind and generous. Kelly was late to my appointment so gave me a discount on my nail designs and they turned out awesome!

Regular manicure

Sometimes you need a little self-care. And when I'm in need of a professional mani/ pedi (and don't have the time or patience to do it myself), Kelly is the person to transform your nails. Quality is consistent. Whether you're getting a gel or regular manicure, my nails are solid for weeks. Kelly and her team take the time to clean up those cuticles and leave your hands feeling lighter. I do wish sometimes the hand massages are a bit longer since they're achy from the Monday through Friday grind, but overall I'm left with wonderful nails that often others notice and say positive things about. I have nothing but positive things to say about this salon as they are never rushing the process or rushing you out. Reasonable prices and quality polishes. Would recommend and have been returning for years.

Gel manicure

Got an appointment the day after Thanksgiving and I felt so bad because I think they were closed and she came in special for this appointment. Great massage and my nails look perfect and neat.

Peeling gel top
Isabela G.

I don't recommend this nail place if you're looking for a dip manicure. I only do dip because of how long it lasts but 24 hrs later the gel top that they put on instead of a dip top coat pealed. A few days after that the dip is chipped and snagging. They also cut my cuticles way too much giving me hang-nails all week.

So glad I found this little gem in the neighborhood! The lady was so attentive to detail, and absolutely nailed the design I wanted. Decently priced for the quality of the nails. I will be coming back here to do my nails. I walked in without an appointment- there wasn't anyone else there at the time so she saw me right away!

My new favorite style - new French manicure.  I LOVE IT!  Thank you!
Annette S.

Great job! Very attentive and particular with details. Kelly rocks! She is an artist and the quality of her manicure is hard to find. I also need special attention to my pedicure and Fong always Gets it right. I found them about a year ago and I had not been disappointed since I started coming to them my every two weeks. Sometimes you find yourself waiting for a little longer then you have planned, but when your nails are done, you know it's worth a wait!

I had an amazing experience with Linda at SF Nail Spa. She was incredibly professional, patient,…read moreand detail-oriented from start to finish. You can tell she genuinely cares about the quality of her work and making sure everything looks perfect. I got a manicure with clear gel and 2 layers, and Linda's attention to detail was seriously next level. She took her time shaping and cleaning every nail carefully, making sure the application was smooth, even, and flawless without ever feeling rushed. The finish came out super clean, glossy, and natural-looking. On top of that, the service overall was excellent - friendly atmosphere, great customer care, and very relaxing experience. Linda made sure I was comfortable the entire time and checked in throughout the process to make sure everything looked exactly how I wanted. They end with a lotioned hand massage, wrapping it up with a warm towel compress. If you're looking for someone meticulous, skilled, and professional, I highly recommend booking with Linda. Easily one of the best nail experiences I've had in SF. Highly recommend with my utmost respectful regards!

tldr: been to this salon before with good service, disappointed this time as I feel my nails were…read moreinappropriately damaged. I've never written a negative review before because I love supporting small businesses and know how hard it can be to keep things running. Also, a lot of the techs don't speak English and I know that can be hard as well. However, I do think this'll be beneficial for feedback for future reference because I think my nails were damaged beyond what was needed and it'll take at least a month to grow out :( I've come to this nail salon once before had decent service. This time I wanted to get builder gel nails removed that I had done at another studio. Because I've experienced nail lifting and skin irritation that's pretty painful with acetone soaking before, I called ahead and requested if it is possible I get my builder gel nails removed via just drill. I was told yes, it's possible. They were able to fit me in pretty quickly which was great! After I arrived, I requested them to trim my nails short and remove the polish. Minimal cuticle work necessary but I'd like a manicure with no additional polish needed, just nail strengthener. The lady who greeted me up front said of course, we can do that. However, the technician who was assigned to me did not know what I was asking for. I tried to explain again and was told ok. My service began and all was fine, but then shortly after the drilling started, my technician was replaced with another lady randomly, who I think was in rush despite no other clients I could see waiting at the time. This was the biggest issue -- unlike her prior colleague, she increased the power of the drill super high and started filing away extremely aggressively, and I truly believe she went too hard and either rotation speed was too high or she pressed too hard. I felt heat on my nails I don't think I should've felt, and the tips of at least half my fingernail have been left extremely, EXTREMELY thin. Even with two coats of nail strengthener. She got a bit upset at the three times I flinched I think. After service, I could barely put any pressure on my nails without them bending a little. I've currently already broken two and it's only been two days (one broke when I tried to itch my LEG?!) :(. If you look at my nails from the top you can see the tips are more pink and from the side, even a slight difference in density at the tips. I'm a bit worried of onycholysis as I work a lot with my hands and they're short, so breaking them is painful. I do note that there was a language barrier with second tech as well, so I had to ask at least three times to cut my nails short. That's totally fine. However, I think she got frustrated with me because she'd already begun filing and shaping one nail before she finally understood that I needed them cut. As much as I understand there might be a language barrier with ME, I do wish her colleagues could've communicated what I was requesting to her if they had to hand me off. It's not that I didn't try to communicate either... I bring this up only because I noticed after that she immediately started working way faster and more aggressively and I believe skipped some parts of my service without saying anything. While she did remember to apply coats of nail strengthener, my service ended without any lotion, cuticle oil, or anything like that (and she'd used alcohol on my hands during the process which dried my fingers out) The reason I believe she might've skipped some steps without telling me is because her colleague asked her a question in Vietnamese after and came up to me and said it'd only be $25 for the service today instead of $50 for the manicure I'd wanted. I'm not super familiar with nail removals as I usually just let them grow out and cut them off, so perhaps it was on me to go back to the original studio I got my nails done at to get them removed. But this was my first time getting builder gel done which is tougher and I wanted to go about removal in the appropriate way. I did try to do my due diligence and call in advance to ask if it was possible and ultimately I wish I'd just been told to maybe go elsewhere more experienced with removals with a drill :( Edit: added a star because I had an okay experience w/ this salon in the past

I've been going to this salon and specifically to Vivian for a little over 3 months now, and I can…read moreconfidently say I've found my nail tech. From day one, I've had nothing but great experiences, and Vivian is a HUGE reason why. She handles your nails with care and checks in at every step, which I really appreciate. I've loved every single set she's done for me. One time I came in with basically zero inspiration, and Vivian completely took over the decision-making... and WOW. She nailed it ;) I loved what she chose and trusted her instantly after that. I've also come in with specific design inspo, and she happily accepted the challenge like it was nothing. Her work is so detailed, creative, and clean! She's truly an artist. You can tell she takes pride in what she does. On top of her talent, Vivian is just the best. She's kind, friendly, remembers your name, asks about you and your family, and genuinely makes you feel welcome. As a Sunset District native, this salon has that neighborhood feel, like a local spot where they actually know you and care. I'll absolutely be coming back and won't go anywhere else.

It's been 2 days and the nails are peeling off. They were really overpriced for a simple design…read morewith no extensions ($85), and cost twice as much as quoted. My cuticles on the other hand started bleeding because she was ripping them out too fast, but I was honestly fine with that. The price is just not justified given the service, and the nails are not lasting.
