When growing up & living in the east bay I had been going to my previous nail salon since 2005. Since moving back to the east bay from Millbrae, I still travel across the bridge to get my nails done at Today's Nails. The women who operate this salon are absolutely amazing ! They are so patient, kind & genuine. They always make sure you leave happy. & I am not kidding when I say they literally know every clients' name that walks in or calls in to make an appointment. Not only do they know each clients' name - they remember a little back story of when each client came in last ! & it is so absolutely authentic. I highly recommend Today's Nails ! Rose, Nancy & Helen are my favorites !

Not only did they have great rapport with him, but were so kind and attentive to his needs. He struggled to communicate but they were sweet and complimentary of his attempts as well as so gentle. I can see why those men trusted Today's nails. Do yourselves a favor and spend your money here. I can see how far it goes!

I typically don't write reviews, but in this case and what had happened to me, I felt the need to…read morewrite a review. I do wanna start off with saying that the pedicures that my husband and I received were amazing and the rating is not for the pedicures. I typically don't get my nails done with acrylics or extensions because I just do press on at home but because it was my birthday weekend I wanted to spoil myself a little bit so I didn't have to put on press and I was pampered a little bit. Originally, I had asked to do a basic manicure, but changed my mind to do gel extensions after seeing some of the work on yelp. So I asked for gelx extensions and I showed them the inspo picture that I wanted from Yelp. After my pedicure was done, they moved me to the chair so that I can start my gelx extension . When the application started, I started noticing that when she was applying the extensions, they were a little bit crooked, but I kept my mouth quiet because I assumed they would just fix it during the filing portion. When it came to the filing portion, for some reason, she pushed back all the cuticles on the inner side of each nail to file and make the almond shape but when it came to filing the outer side of each nail she didn't push the cuticle back which a lot of my fingers had gel on the skin. Once the filing was complete, I looked at my nails, and all of my nails were crooked. They were all pointing outward, and I noticed that one of my fingers had a nail extension that was put on there wasn't even the width of my natural nail, so there was a gap between my natural nail and the gelX extension. This nail had to be redone three times. Another nail artist came by and just grabbed my hand and started filing and didn't even say anything to me, almost like it was a bother to fix my nails. By this time I had been in the shop for almost 2 hours between my pedicure and starting my gelx extension. The nail artist asked me what design I wanted AGAIN, so save time I completely scratched the original design I wanted because it had intricate 3-D art and nail gems and decided to change to cateye nail polish. On the cat eye nail display that was provided me to choose the color, there were two types of magnetic design that I can have one was the S type of shape and there was a French tip "u" shaped magnetic designed that I personally wanted to get. When it came to actually doing the magnetic part to make the nail a cat eye, the artist didn't ask me if I wanted the S shape or the U shape they just kept going and they continued to cure each nail. You might ask why I didn't speak up. It was because I was already in the nail shop for over two hours and me and my husband had plans so I didn't have the time for her to completely remove the color to redo it due to her already curing each nail. Once I got in the car, I could already see that the nail needed at least one or two more coats because you can clearly see through my nail, which took away from the cat eye design and the way that she swirled the magnetic wand, It did not even leave the S shape. There is barely a cat eye on my nails, but to make matters worse, the nail that was used bend so easily and they are not strong whatsoever. So it was a bit of a disappointment to get a set of nails that could be great, but they were not. They were very crooked. I had to go home and fix them myself. So to spend $80 on a set of nails that were crooked, thin, easily bendable and you can see through them and did not have a true cat eye design on them and I paid extra for the cat eye. It was a bit of a disappointment. We are not from this side of the bay so going back to the shop is not an option for me. Again, I wanna repeat this review and rating is specifically for my gel X full set and not the pedicures that were received by my husband and I those were great.

She would also explain the products and machines she'd use so that I would know what was going on, which I very much appreciated! I also asked questions to which she was knowledgeable and provided answers. The only reason this wasn't a 5 star experience was because I could hear the conversations happening outside in the hallways or near the entrance area. It was quite loud and kind of made the relaxation aspect feel a bit dull. I've been to many spas and the sound level is usually kept to a minimum, and some even enforcing no noise to help facilitate a relaxing ambience. Despite this, I still appreciated the facial and how it made my skin feel after. So yes, I would recommend for the facials, but just some caution around noise level outside the rooms.

This isn't your typical fancy SF facial place. That being said, Crystal will 100% take care of you and your skin. She genuinely cares and actually remembers things about you. I have probably went to get facial from Crystal around 10+ times and there's a reason why I keep coming back. My skin looks better than it did before. She always gives recommendations and will make sure all that gunk is out of your skin. She had to spend extra time with my extractions because my skin was so irritated, acne filled and my skin barrier was not at its best. Disclaimer that extractions HURT but I know she is taking all that gunk out. She will find things that you didn't even know you had to help your skin not be congested. My face usually isn't as cute the next few days after extractions, but man. You can tell the difference after that time period. My skin is actually smooth now with a few pimples. Hyperpigmentation is so much better. I haven't felt this confident with my skin in over a year and it's all thanks to Crystal. I love the massages she gives and she's just such a sweet woman.
