Nailtastic Salon - Freshly manicured nails. - Nail Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

I honestly don't understand why this place is reviewed as high as it is (my guess would be the regulars going in just to gossip with the workers and leaving "great" reviews). 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 read more

I went for a mani/pedi. I like my toenails short and round. I asked the nail tech in English, Vietnamese, and showed pictures for short and round toenails. Not only were they not short and round, but all kinds of weird shapes and lengths. And even the paint job was messed up. I just had surgery on my right shoulder and so I couldn't do my nails myself. They refused to do my fingernails because my arm is in a sling. My Hand and fingernails are completely accessible. I left. So frustrated! I won't be back there. read more

Work and attitude. Came and got regular manicure. They used get polish and since it was unsealed it flaked and chipped before the night was over. I came thinking they had made a mistake and the owner yelled at me and said it was my fault. Very embarrassing read more

Update! I went back exactly 2 weeks later. My nails were extremely ready to be redone, but were still holding on for dear life, so I was mostly satisfied with how it lasted. This time Don was ready and waiting for me as I entered. The service was just as quick as last time (1hour) and quality was even better. I noticed Mary spent more time on my basic pedicure this time around and I appreciated that. I think I've found my goto salon! read more

First time at Nailtastic & I'm sold! Daie (I could be spelling it wrong) did amazing & he always checked in with me to see if I liked the shapes before continuing. I showed him an inspo picture for cheetah print & he nailed it. I came in 2 weeks later after I noticed my pedicure was lifting that I had gotten done else where & he re did them for me & I love it! The shape is so much better too. read more

So much to say about how awful and terrible this experience was. 1. while filling the tub with water, the the nozzle became free sprayed me and other people sitting in the seats. In addition, it was very clear that the technician had no idea what he was doing and for some reason only men work there as technicians. I thought I'd give it a chance so I did and I regret it. I did not allow them to complete the job and still paid. Both my toenails and skin are now damaged. Do not go there!!! read more

A dirty, ghetto salon that is dated and does not offer the more modern services. They have multiple times made me wait an hour after I had already made an appointment days or weeks in advanced. The male nail techs are loud and they do not do a meticulous job on simple gel manicures. One of the technicians there who normally does acrylics did the worst mani on me and destroyed my nails.... so sad...they are also not great at nail art and constantly say they can do what I ask for but end up messing it up. I went to them for over 2 years and gave them so many chances. They really need to change how they do business and or go back to school to learn the new techniques. beware of this nail salon. read more

I reached out to Dai the following day after this review to let him know about my unsatisfied visit and he reached out to me with an offer to come back and fix it or to get a refund - which I appreciated. The reason I didn't want a refund was because I had to leave the city the day after and had no time to get my nails done for the New Year, so I decided to give him another try. Unfortunately, I wasn't happy with the work done on my nails yet again. The shape wasn't filed to perfection, although he had filed the living hell out of my nails. He was very rough with my nails and hands, to the point it was hurting me. I asked him to do a more simple design as I believed he wasn't capable of doing difficult and extraordinary designs, yet he failed to do a simple french tip. I even told him to just do gel instead of powder so it'd be easier on him, but even that was poorly done... It turned out to look like a little girl painted my nails. I will show in more detail in the photos as to what I'm referring to (note: this is 3 weeks later). Good thing is that none of the nails are lifting and I appreciate that he tried. But sadly, this revisit wasn't enough for me to want to continue giving my business here. Maybe I'll come back when Mikayla comes back. Until then, thank you all for your service. read more

Nailtastic Salon - Current set 4 1/2 weeks in no lifting Or chipping - Nail Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

Let me preface this review by saying that I have been a loyal customer here for over a year and have consistently gone to Dai. Today, I scheduled an appointment for an acrylic removal and a dip powder manicure, and a different lady did my nails. She removed my acrylics and began what turned out to be the worst experience I have EVER had at a nail salon--and I've been to many. I'm not sure if this was her first time doing a dip manicure, but she kept ruining the coats while they were still wet. This happened on several different nails, even after I voiced my concern about the dip peeling off as she filed them. Dai came over and assured me that all my concerns would be fixed (the peeling dip and how chunky the nails had become from repeating the dip process). While I continued expressing my concerns, the lady said she was going to remove everything and redo the ENTIRE manicure. At this point, I had already been there for close to TWO HOURS. As a loyal customer of Nailtastic for over a year, you'd think they would make things right. Since I was tired of micromanaging my manicure and had been there for so long, I asked if they could either do it for free to compensate my wasted time or I would just leave. After consulting Dai, she told me they would not do it for free, so I left--without a single apology from her or Dai, who I have been seeing regularly for a year. I walked out, and no one said a word to me. This lady did not apologize once. It's absolutely ridiculous that they thought I would waste more of my time AND pay after this. I am extremely disappointed with my awful experience today. read more

But, I'll be back as regular my nail tech retired and I loved her! But Don does an excellent job I'm always happy when I get him. He is a perfectionist so except to be wirh him for about an hour and half or 2 I love the detail that he puts into he's craft. I love the deluxe pedicure, it always helps to make my day better. The essential oils they use are great. read more

My niece & sister go here & their nails always look good. They go to Don & based on the reviews maybe that's who I should've asked for because whoever did me & my daughter's nails did a terrible job. I had a terrible experience at White Daisy Nail so I had them soak that set off so I can start new & really see their work. I have a simple acrylic overlay & by day 3 there was a chip in the corner of one nail but I thought nothing of it. Cut to roughly 10 days later & nails are chipped, cracked, & broken!! My daughter's nails started lifting & breaking writhing the week, as of 3 days ago she just took them all off as 3 had popped clean off. I personally will NEVER come here again, if you do decide to patronize this establishment then I guess y'all should ask for Don or Dai you want your nails done right. read more

So I usually have a go to nail tech in the city, but due to her being super booked and me needing a new set, I decided to cheat on her & booked an appointment with Mikayla! I read all the reviews and it seems like her work was the best out of everyone, so I decided to give it a try. Mikayla was very gentle when she was prepping and filing my nails, it didn't hurt at all(most salons don't care to hurt you since they want to work faster) but it wasn't the case for Mikayla so I really appreciated that. She's also very focused on the shape making it super sharp just how I like it. I got a take off and full set while getting a pedicure. I really recommend this nail salon to everyone. read more

It was my first time at Nailtastic after a friend's recommendation and I'm sooooo happy with my experience. Definitely call to make an appointment in advance. I called on Wednesday and wasn't able to get scheduled for a gel mani / normal pedi until Friday afternoon. I really respect that they don't double book or make you wait for long. I booked with Mikayla because my friend said she's good at nail designs. I went for the trendy abstract swirly nail design and Mikayla NAILED IT!! Not only did she get the design right, she also shaped my nails to perfection. And she makes it look so effortless! The best part is that everything cost $75 total. Usually when I get plain (no design) gel manicure with a normal pedicure at other salons it's at least $80. I'll definitely be coming back!! Side note: it can be a bit difficult to find parking in this area read more

Found my favorite nail place!! Parking is a bit difficult but everything else is excellent. Booked an appointment with Mikayla and she did not disappoint. I can definitely see why they're always busy here. I had a full set gel acrylic manicure and a pedicure and the total was only like $60?? Whaaaat!! Mikayla did an excellent job in the shaping of my nails, too. They're perfectly shaped in width and length. My appointment was at 3pm and I walked out by 5pm. All the ladies were really nice, too. It's really clean inside so that's always a plus. They play classical music in the background so it's a calm aesthetic that they display. Overall, 10/10 would recommend!! read more

I'm only giving this review 3 stars because they didn't tell me in advance that they did not have the color I want. I showed them a picture of the design I wanted I think the nailist who did my nail did a good job. I just wish they had the color I wanted It cost me about 56$ -for overlay, gel and dip powder, which is about the average price. I'll still come back here since this place is still my go to salons around the neighborhood. I've been to a few around this area and this one is one of the cleanest. read more

LITERALLY THE ONLY PLACE IN THE CITY ILL GO TO FOR ACRYLICS! Wanted to update my review since it's been a year. I've been to this nail salon numerous times and each time I'm never disappointed. I only trust Mikayla doing my nails. Every single time I'm just wowed by her skills. Whenever I show her a picture she nails it or does it better. Be sure to call and make an appointment a week in advance because she's usually booked! She's that good (trust me, I get so many compliments on my nails & people always ask me where do I get my nails done.) Parking can be difficult in the mission district so do come early trying to look for a parking spot. I love how they accept credit card but gratuity is cash only! Highly highly recommend this place to all my friends & family. P.s you have to wear a mask at all times due to the pandemic, no outside drinks or food, can't bring extra guest. Also they sanitize every chair after every client making it a safe & clean environment! :) read more

Today was my 2nd visit here at Nailtastic. My old nail tech left the nail salon i use to go to for acrylics. Considering someone like me who gets a fill religiously every 2 weeks, i need to have a go-to nail tech whose work satisfy me. For about 2 months, i went without acrylics & settled for gel manicures instead since i'm super picky with how my nails turn out (no one wants to pay $20-30+ and leave unhappy). Until i came across Nailtastic on Yelp, judging by the photos other customers posted, i felt that there is potential for this nail salon. They're also newly open! I gave it a try. My first time walking in, the atmosphere is very clean. There is a large nail color selection from them as well. Color samples they provide includes both gel AND reg polish. I got acrylics with reg polish as usual by Mikayla & WOW. The acrylics stayed on for 3wks- lasted me through a vegas trip & also a trip to hawaii encountering water every single say. The polish itself stayed on and never chipped once. Usually back at the other nail salon i went to, by 1.5wks, the top coat is usually coming off. I got full set acrylics for $27+ coffin shape $5 Nailtastic will definitely be the nail salon i'll be going to now. I am satisfied with their products & the outcome of my nails :) read more
