    Amazing!! Got gel and took my niece to get a regular mani with designs. They were so nice and did a great job with our nails. Will definitely come again!

    Awesome service and great quality. Highly recommended! Got the cat eye, turned out great!

    My second time getting GelX at Mac Nails and I love them so much!!!

    My second time getting Gel X at Mac Nails and I love them so much!!! I've been coming here for years and always get regular gel mani and pedi. Always the best quality and service here!

    Such amazing staff! My nails look so clean and fresh, didn't take long at all!! Super nice inside, and they have refreshments too!

    I love this place. They have the best service and do amazing nails. I did a cat eye and chrome as recommended by the lady helping me.

    Lumpy nails
    Tammy T.

    I was in so much pain from the endless drilling they did here and they hacked at my cuticles so much it started tearing. I went in for a gel extension fill and she spent almost an hour buffing away the apex with a soiled drill bit. She used way too much pressure and too large of a drill bit so it kept grazing my cuticles. When it came to the actual builder gel part, she was so impatient that there was no actual artistry behind it, and she painted it on so clumpy and lumpy that I was like, what is the point of going to a professional. I'm so disappointed because I really wanted to like the place. The interior is cute at first but then you see all the dirty polishes and how they reuse soiled tools and you never want to go back

    My nails after about 2 weeks

    I cannot say enough good things about this nail salon hands down the best work I've ever had done! I got Gel-X nails and asked for extra short, which no one has ever been able to do for me until now. They nailed it (pun intended)! The staff was incredibly sweet and accommodating, even fitting me in for a same-day appointment. When I arrived, the shop was small and the team was quiet, but you could tell they were focused and hardworking! I totally respect that hustle. I've been living in California for five years, and this is by far the best salon I've found. Yes, parking can be a little tricky, but honestly? 100% worth it. If you've been searching for precision, professionalism, and seriously gorgeous nails, this is your spot.

    Mac Nail Spa saved me! I went to another salon for white nails and they were soooo messy. I ended up calling Mac and they were able to take me in last minute and did such a beautiful job. They are my new go to nail place!

    Chrome dip mani
    Ysa L.

    The staff was nice, but I left disappointed. I paid $100 to have brittle nails and to basically look like a need a fill ‍ 2 stars tho cause they were nice and they offer free beverages (coffee, tea, mango juice etc). I called and went in same day for a dip manicure with chrome. It was my first time trying this salon. My nails chipped and broke within 10 days... which is unusual bc my dip manicures usually last 5-6 weeks at other salons. My nails feel brittle, and the shape was bulky and uneven--apex was so thick and far from my cuticle that it looked like I already needed a fill. The nail tech used a towel covered in old nail dust and clippings, and even massaged lotion on me at the end with the same dirty gloves. I appreciate the friendliness and free dri, but I wouldn't return unless I had no other option. Pics are from today, 10 days after getting a dip manicure here

    Cat eye gel x with leopard accent design

    I made an appointment for Saturday afternoon - super quiet and peaceful! Sam worked magic on my sad-state hands ! I got gel-x cat eye nails with some leopard print designs based on a video I saw on instagram - she did an AMAZING job, even working around a fresh (accidental) dog bite/snag on one of my nails. She was so precise and careful! Thank you so much - I'm vacation ready now ! The pics don't do it justice - I am obsessed.

    Queenie and Shang are awesome! I'm really happy with how my nails turned out and I will be coming back again!

    Love my nails. Went for gel-x with almond and I showed them an inspo photo and it turned out pretty much the same as the photo I showed them. Quick and great service. The salon was super nice/clean. Thank you!

    Gel manicure

    This was my first time going to this salon. I am in the works of trying to find a salon closer to home and this was a close runner up. The inside is very clean and all the staff were lovely. My nail tech was Stephanie and she paid so much attention to detail. Why this is 4/5 stars for me: I went in with gel on and only needed a regular gel mani and was there for an hour and a half. If you have that kind of time, then this is a good place!

    First time @Mac Nail Salon. I love it, thank you

    Victoria's is still a solid five stars for hair removal!…read more Since my first review over a decade ago, a few things have changed - the studio moved (just a few blocks east, with better parking in my opinion), I've moved (a few times!), I tried laser hair removal (meh), and Dao has upgraded her electrolysis machine (making her process even faster). Through all the changes, my rating and loyalty remains. I can even walk across the street from where I currently live to get waxed instead of driving across the Bay Bridge and halfway across the city to get to Victoria's, but I still prefer Dao! Dao's efficiency, excellent work, affordable prices, and sweet, chatty demeanor keep me coming back. Although my first Brazilian electrolysis session was over 7 years ago, I have only booked/been able to tolerate 30 minute sessions, 1-3x per year. Certain areas of the body have more stubborn hair that requires more sessions, and Dao is very upfront about all of this. A few weeks after each session I notice less and less hair regrowing; there are certain areas where hair has never come back, and the areas that she continues to work on gets smaller and smaller. I look forward to my next session with Dao and I'm thinking I will ask her health/beauty tips, because she doesn't look a day older than the first day I met her!

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!

For context, I only come a few times a year for special occasions or events, but all customers should be treated the same... The nail tech assigned to me didn't even say hello, yet fawned over the "regulars." The actual pedicure was sloppy and unprofessional. The attached photo speaks for itself--uneven shape, sloppy paint job, and a small lint on the right big toe. When I politely asked the nail tech to fix it, she rudely said "I know!" But didn't even fix it in the end. In addition, she did not cap the free edges and the next day, the nail polish chipped on a few nails (not pictured).
