    | July 12, 2026 | This is my first and last time coming here. My normal girl at her salon is on mat leave so I decided to try a new spot that I was told about and had seen so much on IG. You are emailed and texted about your date, time and service. I had completed the necessary forms the day prior. I came here today a few minutes late but called ahead to let them know I would be 5 minutes late for my 1pm appointment. Upon arrival, I checked in at the front and on the screen was told to take a seat. I waited a few minutes before my technician came out with her tools and came to get me and if i needed a drink but there were some drinks at the table while I was waiting so I grabbed a water. At 1:20, I was texting my friend about my experience and how it was just so awful already. I told Saya what shape I wanted, what color I was looking for (green with some shimmer) and the length. When I told Saya this, I felt like she was like really? THATS what you want? Which is funny because she said the color without any shimmer was pretty towards the end of my service. I wasn't given any suggestions or collaboration with me with what I communicated. I also felt like Saya was just hacking away at my nails as she was filing and shaping my nails. This made me feel so uneasy when I knew the cuticles part was coming. I was nicked a few times and I should NOT be cringing and flinching so much during my manicure that I lost count. Also during the process, my hands were sprayed with rubbing alcohol so many times which because of my nicks stung, I was going to lose it if my hands were sprayed with it one more time. Saya did check in with me a few times on the shape and the color but she asked me if I wanted just one coat of color or two which I thought was confusing because she had already done one finger with two coats and then proceeded to ask if I wanted one for the others which I didn't because of the light vs. dark shade. One of my thumbs was bubbly looking and she made it seem like I had caused it when my thumb was in there or my whole hand as instructed so she had to redo it. I noticed that one of my fingers on my left hand wasn't filed enough so she fixed it. I seriously could not wait to end the service and leave the salon, I just said yes everything was fine afterwards. I was just so over it. For a top technician, there was just too many issues to my liking and I was so annoyed. You can see in my photos and videos that the polish isn't an even layer and my right hand OMG! I went home and just decided to file it and try to fix it to make it better. I'm just amazed that this is the work of a top technician. Upon paying and leaving finally, the receptionist asked me how everything was that I was just so baffled that I said it was fine. I was given a gift bag which after my service, made sense there was a filer. I was asked if my technician told me about the $25 extra fee for removal of a work from another salon but I was not communicated that so they did waive it. I was aware of it as I had seen it on the website and told them that but they waived the fee. I wasn't going to argue that! Haha I don't normally do negative reviews, but this seriously has my mind so blown and I'm usually a pretty calm easy going person that this experience has me so riled up!

    I haven't gone anywhere else since trying Look At Me for the first time! Once you get a Russian manicure, it's honestly hard to stray away, the attention to detail and precision are just on another level. My nails always look so clean, polished, and perfect, and they last a month. The entire experience is consistently amazing, and I leave obsessed with my nails every single time. You can really tell how much care goes into the prep, shaping, and every little detail. If you've never tried a Russian manicure before, this is the place to do it. They also offer complimentary drinks and keep the place impeccable. Angelina and Jay are great!

    Always a lovely experience. Manicure lasts at least 4 weeks and turns out perfect every time.

    I've heard about this place for a while. My coworkers were raving about getting a Russian manicure and how healthy it is for your nails so I finally decided to jump the gun. I was able to get a same day appointment after 5pm which is ideal cause I work till then! Came in early and was able to wait in the waiting area and was offered drinks from their menu that are complimentary. I booked with Siia, which first of all, she's so sweet and amazing. We immediately got aquinted and she informed me on the process and what I wanted and how to achieve the look I'm looking for. I love how thorough she was and felt seen on all parts. They had a TV playing a show which was nice. Overall the process was nice to see as a first timer with a Russian manicure! Siia also got exactly what I was looking for. Recommending this place to friends and investing in their nail health!

    My first gel x Russian manicure and I am obsessed! I pick and bite my nails and cuticles so badly and they fixed me up so good!!! My nails look exactly like the picture I showed. I am coming back!!

    I've been coming to LOOK AT ME SF for a while, and they never disappoint! They specialize in dry manicures, and the quality is always amazing. I wash my hands constantly, and my nails still last up to 4 weeks, so they're definitely worth the price. I also appreciate the 7-day warranty. The only downside was no hand massage whatsoever and my pedicure. They could do a better job cleaning under and around the toenails. However, I really like that they use an e-file on my feet. Overall, I love this location and highly recommend them. Thank you, LOOK AT ME SF!

    I've been here 5(?) times now I think. I've always seen a middle tier nail tech. Started at $100 for a Russian hard gel manicure (dry manicure). Recently went up to $110. I think it's worth the price. I try to go every 5, sometimes push it to 6, weeks. Everyone pays so much attention to detail. The cuticle work is great, the painting also great. The nail techs are pretty quiet because they're very focused on your nails. I only had an issue my very first time here with a nail chipping, but they have a 1 week free fix if something happens. I got my nail fixed a few days after the week passed because I was on vacation when it happened, and they fixed it when I got back into town. I haven't had issues after that so was probably a weird fluke. My nails last 5 weeks, and if I didn't have nail growth showing, I could go longer between appointments. I always get compliments on my nails because they're always so perfectly polished and clean. The shop is very clean. I think they have 3-4 chairs for pedicures and 9 stations for manicures. They also do lashes and brows here, but I can't review that because I've never had mine done here.

    I had my hard gel removed at this salon and unfortunately had a very poor experience. The technician excessively filed my natural nails during the removal process, leaving them extremely thin and sensitive. Four days later, my nails are still painful and uncomfortable when pressure is applied. I had to cut them very short because of the discomfort. I understand that some sensitivity can occur after gel removal, but this level of pain and damage is not something I expected from a professional salon. I am very disappointed with the service and would not return. I trusted the salon to remove the product safely, but the process was far too aggressive. I hope this feedback helps prevent other clients from having the same experience.

We arrived and my friend was trying to hold it together, and started crying. Carol and Tiffany immediately asked what was wrong, and she shared that she was processing her grief. Both ladies held space for her, comforted her, and shared stories of their personal loss as well. What was supposed to be a casual pedicure ended up being a beautiful therapy session, as they painted our toes, they also offered comfort, support, and genuine love. I am so grateful for this experience. They not only did a wonderful pedicure, but they were genuinely so kind and sweet. They even offered my friend some tea and biscuits at the end. This type of service went above and beyond and I cannot thank these ladies enough for bringing such comfort to me and my friend during this difficult time. We will definitely be retuning again and again! Thank you for your kindness and empathy. It truly warmed our hearts. People like this make the world a better place.

    I came here because of the stellar reviews and nail pics on Yelp and social media, but the service…read moreand quality of work were extremely disappointing and did not match my expectations. I do not recommend getting a Gel-X mani here. First, the recommendation I was given didn't make sense. My natural nails had grown out pretty long, so I asked for hard gel. Multiple staff members recommended Gel-X extensions instead for the design I wanted. My natural nails were only slightly shorter than my reference image, but I wanted to trust their expertise. I was wrong. I chose the shorter extension length and it ended up being the same length of my natural nail before the tech cut them, so the extensions added nothing and I unnecessarily had my nails cut. Second, the application quality doesn't match the price. There are ill-fitting corners throughout. Rather than sizing up to an extension that fit my nail bed, the tech filed down my side walls to force the smaller one to fit, which hurt. One extension on my index finger is visibly crooked. I pointed it out and was told it looked straight - looking at it again and in photos, it's clearly off-center. There's also still cured gel on my skin, which is a contact dermatitis risk. Third, the pricing was not transparent. I paid $115 for a Gel-X removal and Gel-X manicure. The pricing on the website and at check-in is confusing, and when I showed my inspiration photo up front, no one quoted me. The tech told me the price, $155, only after she had already started the design. I got it down to $115 by dropping the star flakes, which were $40 on their own. I want to pay techs fairly for their work, but $40 for star flakes isn't worth it. To be fair, there were genuine positives. I called to let them know I was running 10 minutes late and the staff were completely understanding about it. And when I asked for a swirl cat eye design, my tech told me upfront that it was above her skill level rather than overpromising. She still gave it a shot, and I really appreciated that honesty. Overall, I can't recommend this place. The quality of work and service don't match the price, and what frustrates me more is that the staff didn't listen to my questions and were quick to shut me down instead of working with me. Given the reviews here, I'll assume this isn't the standard, and that it's fixable.
