    I don't typically leave reviews but i went in for a new nail set, super short french tip, i shower her my inspo and it was nothing like. The inspo clearly had a pink base and she wanted to use a clear base and seemed upset when i asked her to use a pink base, they were all painted uneven and very thick nothing to my liking. I asked her how much it would cost and she said $70 which is a lot because ive gone to may places and paid way less for better quality and more designs.

    This place is my all time favorite the service is amazing. Both of the ladies are very kind and do quality work. And I highly recommend to visit them.

    Chipped already

    I was offered to try "dip" instead of straight gel which cost $10 more. It's supposed to be less harmful than gel, so I was told. Gel usually stays intact until I remove it which I've gone as long as 4 weeks. Unfortunately it's only been 2 weeks, didn't even get to Christmas. Disappointed.

    French tips acrylic manicure in home kitchen lighting

    This review has been long overdue (last time I went was 10/15/23) but I am looking forward to going back to this salon and getting my French manicure done again by Kim! I've learned how to do gel-x at home so I have some experience doing my own French tips at home. However I prefer acrylics so they last longer! My fingers are naturally crooked so they require different nail shapes and the French tips don't always look perfect. Kim took her time with my nails and pointed out my crooked fingers!! I was so happy that a nail technician finally noticed!! Her precision with the nail tools was amazing. It took about 3hours to get my nails done but they looked spotless! Kim and her friends were really nice to me and the place felt very welcoming from the moment I walked in. They were busy doing pedicures but made sure to check in on me and turn on the fan for me since it was pretty hot during the day.

    Nail design by Kim-- I showed her an inspiration picture and she made the nail art even better!

    I'm so glad I found this place! Kathy and Kim were both so kind, and it was easy to see that they care about the quality of nails they create. Plus-- the salon itself is so cute! I've had these nails for almost 3 weeks now, and they haven't chipped or loosened at all! I will absolutely be going back for my fill very soon :)

    I personally love this nail salon! Not only are the women super nice, the shape to my nails & time/dedication out to them is definitely up to par! My girlfriend and I also got a pedicure as well, which were beautifully well done too! (: the atmosphere there is super cute too & quite relaxing

    Jagged edges

    I don't leave negative reviews, but there's a first for everything I suppose... TLDR; Don't ask for any changes to be made to your nails if you're unhappy with them. They'll refuse to do your next scheduled service! I have been to this nail salon 3x. The first time I visited, a nail tech named Kathy told me it would take 1.5 hours for a new set. I was there for 3 hours. The set wasn't bad, but there was quite a bit of dry powder under the nails, the powder was uneven, the edges were jagged, the pinky nails were shorter than the rest, and the nails were very thin (see photos). While she was doing the set, I requested that she thicken the nails because I was worried about breaking them. She told me they were fine and looked more natural that way. Two days later, I had a broken nail and had to find time in my busy schedule (I work 60+ hours/week and have a toddler) to have it fixed. I asked to speak with the manager, and she told me the owner was on vacation and wouldn't be back for a couple of weeks. I kindly explained to her that the broken nail could have been avoided if she had just made the set thicker like I had asked. I requested a partial refund for my previous service, and after much back and forth, she offered me 50% off my next fill. I went back again for the fill, and she ended up using a different pink powder than what she had originally used (she used a subtly sparkly pink before, and she used a flat pink this time) I didn't notice this until I got home. I didn't do or say anything about it. I had an appointment for a gel pedicure and a fill today. I asked that they do the services at the same time, confirming this request twice on the phone when I scheduled. I was more than halfway through the pedicure when the owner finished her client and came over to talk to me about my nails. At that point, I realized I probably needed a new set because of the differences in pink powder that had been used. I could tell that something was off when I was talking to her. It felt like she wasn't really listening to me. She then told me she didn't have time to do my nails because she had another customer. I asked what was really going on because I had a scheduled appointment, and it didn't make sense that she suddenly didn't have time. She finally said that Kathy told her that I was "difficult" and that she didn't want to do my nails because of this. Never in my life have I been called "difficult". It's a shame that the owner didn't fully investigate the situation and just took Kathy's word for what happened. I hired a caretaker for my son during my appointment that should have taken 2 hours at most, since the services were scheduled at the same time. Now I have to go to a different salon and pay my nanny more money to watch my son longer because of this. My feelings are hurt, my time is wasted, and I've spent more money than I should have had to.

    New years even full set

    Came in as a walk in on December 30, had to wait about ten minutes. The lady was very thorough. She gave me recommendations on the design, even though it is additional $10-15 I was pleasantly surprised how well it turned out. All together, she quoted $80 for full set and design with crystals.

    I made an appointment for 2 people for full set acrylics on a weekday night for 6pm and we were lucky to find some parking spots. It's located in a tiny plaza and a bit hidden. We walked in and were not greeted by anyone, some of the techs looked up at us but no "Hi! Welcome!" nothing. So we just awkwardly sat down and hoped they will say something to us.... a girl walked in and immediately they all said hello to her and said they would be with her in a few minutes.... like hello?? Why weren't we greeted the same way? So I got up and I went up to one of the techs and said "Hi we both have an appointment at 6pm today for a full set" and the tech said "yeah yeah I know just have a seat". Like ok then, acknowledgment would've been nice. I showed my tech the style I wanted which were the dried flowers on a clear acrylic nail but they were very limited in the color flowers they had. I wanted light pink/tan/white flowers but they only had bright blue, red, green, orange which were not my colors. She also kept trying to push me to choose one of them but I said no. They didn't have the flowers I wanted, no biggie so I showed her another nail design I wanted. It was a 3-4 color paneled nail design which honestly looked very complicated but I wanted to see if she could do it or not. I'm not sure the name of my tech but she took a good look at the design and said she could do it. I told her I didn't want to be a hassle/too much for her so I opted for a plain basic set with no design and only 1 color but she told me that she could do it. She took her time shaping my nails and made sure all the little details were nice and smooth which I appreciate. I randomly chose 4 colors that would hopefully go together and it turns out they did! I was very pleased with how it came out. It really looked like the example I showed her. I felt bad because this design took 3 hours to do and all the other techs were getting ready to leave but she had to stay to finish my set. She wanted to take a photo of my nails so she put some oil on my hand so that they'd look less dry but she put wayyyyyy too much oil!!! (look at my photos and tell me that's not a lot) Overall, I was satisfied with how my set turned out, it costed me $60. But the service here could improve.

    Stopped by this shop on my day off and was pleasantly surprised! The salon is beautiful, it seems as if they just remodeled. I came in for a full set and pedicure. I opted for the deluxe pedi since I really wanted that scented Jasmine spa set. That included a scrub, mask, lotion, and bath salt! The color selection is great as well. I went with a neutral pink with glitter tips. Thank you for your help Kathy. I will be back!

    I bought myself a Groupon for a 60 minute facial, which came with a complimentary glass of wine. It…read morehad been awhile since I had a facial and wanted to treat myself. I arrived early and found the office easily due to these little flower sticky notes. Just follow the trail all the way up through to her office where she greeted me on time. I felt very comfortable with her and relaxed during my facial. She really went to work on pore extractions, which not all salons do correctly. The last salon facial I received did not perform extractions, so I was glad that she gave me a deep cleansing. I decided to make the most of this facial that I added on a additional chemical peel, it was very gentle yet made my face feel soft and radiant. I also purchased a gift certificate for my mother, because I wanted to treat her to the same experience I received.

    I had a facial with Vivian today and it was wonderful. It was my first facial experience and made…read moreit a wonderfully relaxing first time. I already have great-looking skin, but Vivian made it even more soft and beautiful. I got the basic facial, but she provides upgrades for a very reasonable added price. The basic facial takes around an hour. Vivian pulled all the stops during my facial today: cleanse, exfoliate, extraction, massage, tone and moisturize. She even added in a lip treatment and short shoulder rub with a mint/eucalyptus product. It's hard to decide which part was my favorite... it was all so rejuvenating. The parts I enjoyed the most were the exfoliation part and the mud mask. The exfoliation scrub was extremely gentle on my skin-- much different to the standard salt or sugar scrubs you buy on the market. The mud mask (hydration) was also great. That's when she massaged my arms with warm lotion and rubbed the mint/eucalyptus product on my neck and shoulders. The extraction was uncomfortable at times but never painful. And it was surprising how much the eucalyptus/mint product cooled my neck and back! She asked me if I was cold and offered to turn on the heater if I was too chilly. It seems she just moved from San Jose to San Francisco. She has a location on Polk Street in the back of a hair salon (New Beauty Hair Salon). She plays soothing music during the facial and talks in relaxing tones. From beginning to end Vivian was professional, knowledgeable and friendly. During my facial, she asked me about my personal skincare routine and suggested products or treatments that would help my personal concerns. I love that because that helps me take better care of my skin whether I see her again or not. Vivian naturally inquired about and related to my life in the way that the best hairdressers do. I recommend seeing Vivian for your next facial. My skin is noticeably softer and my pores look smaller.
