    My old nail tech retired this past winter and so my friend who lives in San Mateo let me know her nail place is opening a spot in sf and low and behold it is right my by house! Hallelujah! Hahah my friend's nails were always on point so I was excited to try and they have been great! It is so hard to find a good nail salon, so extremely happy I found one. My nails last longer, at least 4 weeks, don't break and the design so far has been good if not better then where I used to go. Highly recommend go check them out! Mintra is the artist I go with but they are all highly skilled and I definitely plan to go back.

    Mintra is the best! She did an amazing job with my nails and the design was exactly the same as the inspo photo I shared! She made the appointment fly by with her kindness and fun companionship during the appointment! I am telling all my friends to see Mintra at Nail Box! Mintra has the best vibe!

    Gel X manicure
    Caitlyn M.

    I made an appointment online with Stephanie for a gel x (hard gel) manicure. The salon is small but clean overall. She did a good job and checked in with me throughout the mani to double check the length, and shape of my nail as well as the color. She also cleaned my cuticles and shaped my nails well. It took over an hour but I'm happy with how the nails came out. It's $75 (not including tip) for gel x for one color, any designs cost extra.

    I usually go to their Daly City location and have been a customer for almost two years now. When I found out they were opening a San Francisco location, I was genuinely excited, especially since it's so close to my work. I've always had consistently great experiences with their team. The staff is welcoming, professional, and really takes the time to make you feel comfortable and well taken care of. The quality of service has been reliable every single visit, which is why I keep coming back. The new SF location maintains the same high standards I've come to expect, with a clean, modern space and a convenient location that makes it easy to stop by before or after work. I'm so happy to have this option closer to me now and will definitely continue supporting them. Highly recommend to anyone looking for consistent, quality service and a great overall experience.

    gel application is slightly sloppy

    I got a gel overlay manicure and after leaving I'm noticing little details and it feels overpriced for the quality ($75 not including tip). The shaping and polish application is sloppy, and there are some bubbles in the gel, overall the manicure looks fine until you look closer. For $75 I'd recommend leaving the city to the other Nail Box locations. I got a beautiful gel-x set at the Daly City location for a wedding and loved it, so I won't be back at the SF location.

    Gel pedicure

    I had a gel pedicure from Cici on Saturday, February 7, 2026. Today is February 11, 2026, and the cost was $60, even though I had booked the $50 service. It's already starting to wear off. The last time I received the same service, it only cost $50. I'm confused about the pricing and the differences compared to my previous visit, as I'm not clear on how transparent their system is.

Everyone is nice, but not everyone provides the same level of expertise which makes the price a gamble for good nails. I usually get nail designs and charms on my nails, and for the most part it was a great experience.... But my most recent experience completely turned me off from going back here again. The most recent nail tech that I was assigned to did not add even layers of polish to each of the nails and she got nail polish all over the designs because her gloves still had wet nail polish on there... and it also seemed like she kept adding charms so I would be charged more when it wasn't really part of the design I asked for... these nails were for my birthday but i was utterly disappointed and felt like i paid too much. I will admit that I have gotten extraordinary nails from this establishment before, but their services are just so different from nail tech to nail tech that it's definitely a gamble.

I really appreciated that she was willing to come to the house. The only hiccup was that she would not go upstairs until colors were chosen, so I ended up having to reveal the surprise a little earlier. That part was fine, but the payment situation became a bigger issue than expected. I accidentally sent the payment through Apple Pay even though she prefers Zelle or Venmo. I let her know I could correct it and my cousin could help her move the funds, but she became very frustrated and spent about half an hour on the phone in the hallway with me instead of starting the services. I kept reassuring her that I would Zelle her regardless, but she seemed really upset with me. Once everything got settled, the appointment went more smoothly. My grandma's nails and toes turned out great and she was really happy. My aunt's nails were just okay, but I know the technician might have been short on time. I did not mind the small pricing adjustments since it had been a long time since my grandma had a pedicure and I was unsure what my aunt had on her nails beforehand. Overall, the service itself was helpful for my family and I am grateful they were taken care of. There were a few kinks that made the experience stressful, but the idea of mobile service is wonderful and I still appreciate the convenience it offered.

    The Sixth House has been a spot I've been wanting to go to for a while & have followed them on…read moretheir socials for quite some time. I love their values & fair pricing for russian manicures. I made an appointment for the holidays and they did have a deal going on which was fantastic. I was going for a cranberry cat eye look & it was my first time ever doing a cat eye so I do not know how they usually are done. I spoke to the nail tech, she was sweet and helpful but my issue and why I would dock half a star if I could, was I left with a totally different color because she said she had to do a black base for the cat eye look. I wish I had done more individual research because that wasn't the case at all. I still did leave happy with my nails considering we tested a bunch of different glittery shades. But, I am still confused till this day why she said it must be a black base. I would recommend anyone coming here but if you aren't sure like me about a new look, find a video or do thorough research just incase your nail tech isn't either. But, overall, amazing staff and accommodations + $155 for russian manicure is unheard of.

    I've written very few reviews in my life, but this experience was extremely disappointing. I added…read moremyself to the waitlist at The Sixth House last week, urgently needing an appointment for what I was certain was my impending proposal weekend. Because my usual salon was booked, I was excited to try this place. It has stellar reviews and I loved the idea of an affordable Russian manicure in an inclusive environment. Unfortunately, my experience was deflating. Upon arrival, I was greeted flatly by Yahoska. Despite my warmth and excitement, her affect remained cold, but I gave her the benefit of the doubt and attributed it to me being the last appointment of the day. When she asked me to pick a color, I shared that I was a first-time client and was likely getting engaged in a few days (which I did!). I even apologized for putting the "pressure" of engagement nails on her, but I was met with total indifference. She offered no congratulations or even a smile, which immediately made the environment feel unwelcoming. The technical execution was equally disappointing. I requested a French ombre and provided an inspiration photo. What I received was a thick, unstructured, faint white French tip with a visibly harsh start and stop point. It resembled a nail that was half milky white and half base color pink, no gradient. After several failed attempts with unnoticeable edits, Yahoska seemed unaffected by her inability to deliver what I had requested. I revisited the picture and described what it had that my nails didn't, to which she just agreed and retried using the same technique. She offered no additional remedies, so I eventually had to ask her to just remove the French on my 4 right fingers (she had not done the thumb). I left with a simple base coat, which was almost identical to how I arrived, minus the changed nail shape. I was too upset to remember to take a picture myself, but she actually asked to take a picture of the nails before she removed the white polish without telling me what it would be used for. The most insulting part was the checkout. Despite failing to execute the design and sending me home with plain nails, she attempted to charge me the full price for the French service. I was gobsmacked. I had to bargain to reach a fair price for the work actually performed. She met my request with a cold, two-second glare before finally acquiescing. Not only did I still pay her for the labor of the French that she removed, but I also tipped 15%, which I still think was too much for this experience. Giving 2 stars because my nails looked clean for my photos and the cuticle work/application of the base was great. Unfortunately, the lack of technical honesty, the cold environment, and the attempt to charge for services not rendered were completely unprofessional. I will continue to pay more elsewhere for an experience that doesn't leave me feeling crushed.
