Dear Oliviana, I'm writing to raise a concern about my recent visits.

While my services themselves are always done well, the 'manager' in charge on Mondays has repeatedly been overtly rude, dismissive, and at times condescending in her tone and behavior toward me. The pattern of treatment feels targeted and, on occasion, has come across as borderline discriminatory, which is both upsetting and unacceptable. Because I value your salon and want to continue to return and refer others, I felt it was important to bring this to your attention. I would appreciate you addressing this to ensure a more respectful and welcoming experience moving forward. Thank you, xx * I was charged 70 usd for an acrylic fill in ?

I usually LOVE this salon for the atmosphere and service. It's one of the few places where you…read moreactually feel pampered as a part of getting your nails done, which normally justifies the price tag for me. However, my last visit left me a little disappointed because while it was extremely relaxing and the service was great, I'm not so happy with how my actual nails turned out :-( I did the Volcano Spa service for both my pedicure and manicure which were absolutely lovely, along with gel remove and gel on both my fingers and toes. The 10 minutes of massage for both were so nice, especially the shoulders and upper back that came with the manicure. But during the gel remove, the gel on my fingers was removed with the drill. It was the same on my toes but I don't have an issue there. Normally I wouldn't mind, but my natural fingernails were drilled down so thin that even though I cut my nails short, they're ripping at the ends with normal daily wear and tear. I went on Saturday morning and I've had two nails rip at the ends already and it is only Tuesday morning. I'm not sure if it was because I came in with long nails already (imagine asking for a medium-long set) and they may have been mistaken for gel-x or something of the sort, but it was just my natural nails with gel on top. I can even feel on all of my fingernails just how thin they were drilled down because suddenly all my nails are very flimsy, even with several gel coats on top. The rest of the service and experience were great, so it's a bit disappointing to feel like I regret how much I paid because of how weak my fingernails became after this appointment. Regardless I would still return in the future if I want the pampering experience, but if I can do without the massage and just need my nails done I may choose another salon instead. Just something to note if you're someone who is worried about your nail strength. UPDATE 8/4 9:48PM: Another nail ripped pretty far down just from scratching my head :-(

UPDATE: Owner personally contacted me and wants me to try again. I have a service scheduled in a couple days. I do think they care,. I'm giving it another try. UPDATE # 2: Went in for my complimentary classic mani/pedi. They were right on it: no waiting, right to business. Both the mani and pedi went well. I did have to ask for a drying machine for my mani, just to be sure it would dry. I'm grateful they offered me this service for free and I feel better about it all. They care and really tried. I left a big tip for both technicians and I will consider coming back again. I should ask for specific people if I do go back. I think it matters.

Haven't been here in ages but decided to come back since I moved back to SF. Called to make sure they did GelX and I got it done but omg the worst thing ever. The guy wasn't applying them correctly and I knew he was gonna let at least 2-3 nails lifted and easy to pull off. A week later you can see under my nail beds the skin lifting off and the tip of all my fingers numbing so bad that I can't feel my fingers. The guy let the gel run down to my skin and didn't remove before curating it and it caused a chemical burn on my fingers. Two weeks now and I have hangnails and all damaged fingers.

I went in for a mani pedi with regular polish (I have been trying to stop getting gel since it weakens my nails). The pedicure was fine, done by a woman (although she left bits of my old polish on my nail and the polish she put on has already started to come off). My manicure was absolutely HORRIBLE. First off, I had a bit of gel polish remaining from my last manicure and so the guy doing my nails (blonde hair) had to file it off but was being too harsh and staying on one area so long that it started to BREAK DOWN MY NAIL AND BURN. He also didn't full get the gel off and left pieces on my nail. I also asked the guy doing my nails to cut them short since I can't have long nails for work. He insisted I keep some length even after asking numerous times. My nails were long at the time and instead of clipping them like a normal person he used a nail file to file them down super harshly which made me feel like my entire nail was going to fly off. He didn't file the edges, leaving them super sharp and uncomfortable. He then cut my cuticles so harshly that he ended up CUTTING OFF A CHUNK OF MY SKIN. It started to BLEED and he didn't say anything about it and carried on. He then finished the manicure off by putting a super thin layer of polish and no sealant. Mind you my finger was still burning at this point from the cut. My nails looked terrible and you could see the texture of my nail (from the horrible job he did filing) under the polish. By the end of the day (my appointment finished at around 4pm btw and all I did was go home) my nails were already chipping and my finger was still bloody and sore from the cut. The sharp edges felt super uncomfortable. I called the next day to explain what I was experiencing and ask for a refund (I told them I could send pictures for proof) but the guy on the phone said they didn't do refunds and the best he could offer me was to redo the nails with the same color gel polish as long as I made an appointment in advance, so I agreed. I went in this morning (made an appointment per their request) and still had to wait. Then the guy who I'm pretty sure I talked to over the phone then said that I would have to PAY FOR THE GEL, so if I didn't want to pay the best they could do was redo the same regular polish. He also said they didn't guarantee anything and had told me this (which they didn't) making it seem like it was my fault. I was already there so I agreed for them to just redo the polish. The lady did it this time, it took all of 5 minutes and now my nails are all different shapes, sizes, and are peeling once again. I truly could have done them better myself. The nail polish they use is also super bad quality--the color doesn't end up looking like the booklet. Super RUDE, UNACCOMADATING, and INCOMPETENT staff... I have been to my fair share of bad nail salons but this one has to have been the worst. A true waste of time and money. **The pictures below are just a couple hours later...it only got worse from there
