    I've brought my daughter here twice and the ladies that work here have been fabulous. Our first time they gave out drinks to all the customers which was nice and refreshing. My daughter is too small to really get a manicure and pedicure but they still treat her wonderfully while putting on nail polish. The second time they didn't hand out refreshments but put on stickers on top of her nail color, my daughter loved it. The price is very reasonable for being in the city.

    I've been coming here a few months now and LOVE Minna Nails. They are so friendly in there and work hard to give you the best service possible. I used to come in monthly for gel manicure but Minna convinced me to try to Dip nails and I've never looked back. Her attention to detail is unmatched and will even completely redo a nail if it isn't perfect! I always walk out super satisfied and feel pampered when there, she even gives me a LaCroix sometimes. I've brought 3 friends to her so far and all of them were super satisfied! They're also skilled at pedicures and even offer a CBD pedicure that I haven't gotten yet but definitely plan to soon. Gel manicure is $40 and dip manicure is $50. If you want a dip manicure I definitely recommend calling and making an appointment rather than walking in because she's always busy with those.

    Visiting from out of town and had the best experience at Minna Nails! Tina gave me the most attentive and beautiful gel manicure, and my boyfriend got a nice manicure as well. They stayed late and were so kind to us. Highly recommend!

    Dip nails 5 weeks after a manicure. Look how smooth and thin the manicure is where it meets the nail.

    I had dip nails once before, from a different salon, and the polish came out thick and awkward. I figure that's just how Dip manicures were, but I decided to try Minna Nails for my second set and it was a completely different experience. The nail tech at Minna was SO thorough. She used a dremel tool in between coats, and carefully smoothed down every edge so that my nails were thin and light, but strong. I can get a good 4 to 5 weeks out of each dip manicure with no chips, and the edge of the manicure that shows when the nail grows is smooth and thin (see pic). It takes about an hour, but it's worth it for an entire month of not giving my nails another thought. My nails are weirdly flexible, to the point where I can't wear normal polish because it just pops right off. Gell manicure will last a couple of weeks, but dip nails are amazing.

    Dip nail!

    I was so happy to hear nail salons were able to open up again! I called Minna Nails and made an appointment! It was easy to book and friendly! I arrived at 5:30, I was the only customer! Both ladies were so attentive! I got a CBD pedi $60- which included scrub, CBD message, panfrin callous treatment. It was worth it! My feet felt so relaxed and soft. I did the dip nail- first timer! I am obsessed they came out so good. They are taking all Covid precautions: mask, plexi glass. Great service and great prices!

    Loved the dip manicure ($60 w tips) + pedicure ($32) I got!! They're so sweet, very meticulous and are taking all the COVID-19 precautions. Highly recommend a self-care mani/pedi day here.

    My nail tech was Thuy. She was SO sweet and very attentive in her craft! I like to put glitter touches on random fingers (see attached photos) and I liked that when she didn't understand me, she consulted a coworker to ensure that I got what I wanted. I've been to places where the tech nods but then demonstrates that they clearly had not understood my request so I was very appreciative of that on her end. I'm extremely happy with my nails and super excited to have found an affordable and quality nail spot in the city (usually quality goes out with low price but this was not the case)!

    Nicely done pedicure !
    My T.

    No frills nail salon that gets you in and out with quality service. Walked in without an appointment on a Saturday around 4 and was able to get my pedicure started as soon as I picked out a color. Great, relaxing pedicure and massage (with hot stones!) for $23. Would come back, especially if in the area.

    Dip powder nails with mermaid gel top coat.

    I love this shop! I've been coming here on and off for over 10 years. The proprietor of the shop, Tina is so sweet! Her daughter owns the shop along with another Minna Nails in Noe Valley and a New shop on 21st and Bryant, Ziva Nails. Tina no longer does acrylics so I had to go elsewhere, but now that I've discovered dip powder nails, I'm back to Tina! I went in tonight and my mails look better than they have in a long time. I'm so happy! Perfect for my weekend getaway! Their prices are less expensive than the other shops in the neighborhood As well. I highly recommend this cute neighborhood salon!

    I tried Minna Nails after seeing it on a walk- Needed a new nail place after moving, and really wanted to find a place to get quality dip nails - They delivered! Professional, so sweet and friendly, and good prices. Thank you!

Under the previous owners, Laura and Danny, the salon felt welcoming and personal. Over the years, we got to know them and many of the people who worked there, and we brought the business a great deal of repeat business. Unfortunately, since they retired and sold the business to Lux SF2, my experiences have changed dramatically. My longtime technician is still wonderful, and I have nothing but positive things to say about her. Unfortunately, the overall atmosphere and customer service have gone downhill. The manager who now runs the salon consistently comes across as angry and unwelcoming. There is rarely a hello or any effort to make customers feel welcome, and it seems that the employees are uncomfortable around her. There is also another employee who has displayed the same type of behavior toward customers. The problems really came to a head when my partner was accidentally charged double for a service. He noticed the overcharge immediately and was told that it would be corrected and refunded within a day or so. It wasn't. After three phone calls over the course of 10 days, the money still had not been refunded. We ultimately let the matter go because he returned to the salon and received the pedicure he had already paid for. Instead of simply resolving the issue professionally, the manager became angry and raised her voice at my partner, insisting that the money had already been refunded when it had not. My partner eventually contacted the manager at their sister salon on Hayes Street to explain what had happened. Apparently, that made the situation even worse, because the manager then confronted him and became even more upset with him in the salon. Then came my experience last night. I had a punch card that had been started under the previous ownership. I had one punch remaining for a complimentary manicure. This card had already been punched by the current salon seven times out of ten, so they clearly had been honoring it. After receiving my manicure, I presented the card and was suddenly told that I had to pay an additional $5 because it was an "old" card from the previous owner. When I questioned this, I was told that they don't honor the old cards--even though they have continued punching mine and accepting it as valid. If the salon no longer intends to honor a loyalty program, that should have been clearly communicated to customers before they continued accepting and stamping those cards. The situation became even more uncomfortable when the male employee raised his voice at me in front of other customers and began bringing up my partner's refund issue from a month and a half earlier. I explained that the matter had already been dealt with, but he continued to argue with me and speak to me disrespectfully. Meanwhile, the manager, who was present and is supposedly running the salon, never stepped in to de-escalate the situation or address the behavior. I eventually left and went to the main Lux SF location up the street to speak with management. The manager there was apologetic, listened to what happened, and treated me with the professionalism and courtesy I would have expected from the salon in the first place. There are also growing concerns about cleanliness and sanitation that I have noticed during my recent visits. The chairs and workstations appear to have a layer of nail dust on them, and sanitizing the stations does not seem to be the priority it once was. I have also observed pedicure stations not being sprayed with what appeared to be bleach/disinfectant after each use. Given the nature of the services being provided, this is particularly concerning to me. I plan to contact the appropriate health department to report what I have observed and ask them to determine whether the salon is following the required sanitation procedures. It is incredibly disappointing to see a place that we supported for so many years change this much. Customers should not feel like they are walking into an environment where employees are angry, customers are spoken to disrespectfully, charges are inconsistent, or legitimate concerns are met with confrontation. A business cannot build a lasting customer base by treating people this way. In my opinion, if the current management continues to create an atmosphere of anger, disrespect, and distrust--and if customers feel they are being overcharged or treated unfairly whenever there is an opportunity to do so--the business will eventually lose the loyal customers who helped sustain it for years. I genuinely hope Lux SF2 takes these concerns seriously. There is still an opportunity to turn things around, but that starts with treating customers and employees with basic respect, being transparent about pricing and loyalty programs, properly addressing billing issues, and making cleanliness and sanitation a priority again.

    For the last five years, I was extremely lucky to have a very good pedicurist Elsa working across…read morethe street from me. I would visit her once every seven weeks like clockwork, as waiting longer usually meant some painful debridement on the big toe of my right foot. Elsa changed professions about ten days ago, leaving me to scramble to find someone in my area who could provide a similar quality of service in roughly the same price range. After some search engine trial-and-error, I finally got a Google page that listed three salons that offered a simple pedicure at a reasonable rate. The closest of these was Mani-Pedi Spa. Even though they take walk-ins, I called on Tuesday 9/22 and made an appointment for 11 am the following day. I was greeted by Gwen, who immediately pegged me as a guy who probably just wanted his nails clipped and nothing else. She walked me over to a wall display and asked me to choose a favorite nail color. It took me a few seconds to realize she was joking. (Good icebreaker, Gwen!) Anyway, the pedicure was not only thorough but absolutely painless. Granted, it took about 15 minutes longer than what I was used to, but I consider that a very reasonable tradeoff for a job done with the precision of a jeweler or a watchmaker. Once we were done, Gwen walked me to a lady at a desk at the back of the shop. That made it easy for me to hand the desk lady the pedicure fee and hand Gwen the tip at about the same time. I decided to wait a few days before posting my review, just to make sure there was no residual pain or swelling near the problem toe. That milestone has been cleared, and it looks like I now have a new regular pedicurist to see somewhere around November 11. Thanks, Gwen. Great job!

The quality of ingredients, time spent, lack of even a slight massage, and general feel of the spa doesn't warrant such a high price tag.

He assured me the outcome would be about 80% similar to the picture, since they wouldn't have the exact colors.

I just got their Lux manicure, which is their basic manicure that comes with a regular polish, nail cut, cuticle care, and a quick arm massage. My technician was very thorough. She recommended 3 coats, which I appreciated because other places will stop at 2, even if it looks thin. My nails take forever to dry, so when I smudged two of them trying to get my wallet, she fixed them right away. The couple of times I've been here, I've noticed that the vibes are pretty quiet. I remember falling asleep the first time I had my nails done here. If I was in one of the recliner seats at this most recent visit, I totally would have knocked out. At my first visit years ago, I remembered the technician putting this serum on my nails after the top coat that made it dry faster. She actually accidentally used it twice. I think that's why my nails lasted really long. However, the visits after that I noticed that they ended with just the top coat. I asked about it, but I don't think I was clear because I didn't get an answer. And btw, they now use tiny fans to dry the polish as opposed to that serum. But whatever serum they had before worked wonders and I wish they still did that. I just woke up from a nap and I must've put my hands underneath my head as I'm a side sleeper... there are imprints of my hair on my nails. It's not noticeable from afar but I was surprised to see it since the polish is dry. I'm not hopeful about how long the polish is going to last considering this. I think this is third or fourth time here and nothing is going to compare my first experience at this point. I'll probably come back whenever I need my nails done but I'm open to exploring other salons at this point.

I always try to clearly explain the style I'm looking for, but during busy hours it often feels like my requests are dismissed rather than the technicians helping me find the closest available option. At times, I felt awkward trying to figure out what was possible on my own while the technician simply watched instead of assisting me. At my last visit, the Gel-X application felt especially rushed. There was excess glue left around my nails which looked messy and unprofessional. While the final design was nice, it ultimately was not what I had originally asked for. When I expressed disappointment prior to leaving, the technician later explained there had been a language barrier. However, this was never communicated during the time of service. Instead, I was repeatedly told "no" to the options I asked about. Afterward, I reviewed the salon's website and realized they actually did offer the exact style I wanted. What made me especially uncomfortable, though, was that the technician put their hands in my hair without asking first. That completely crossed a personal boundary and felt very disrespectful. Overall, I think this salon is fine for simple services, but if you're looking for detailed nail art or a more attentive customer experience, you may leave feeling frustrated.
