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

I came here bc my friend recommended me to Don and he's the BEST. Super friendly, fast and efficient. This is my second time coming back to him and he has a loyal customer for life. It's extremely difficult to find people who are willing to do the current trends but he's extremely artistic and always kills it! All I have to do is show him a picture of what I want and he gets it down. Highly recommend :) read more

I've been coming to nailtastic for what I would call a year, most of the times I get there it's busy, which it's a good thing!! so its good to call ahead and see how they're doing before you get there Don it's great, I've never gotten a result I didn't like with him and he is meticulous on taking care of your nails. The vibe it's nice, I bet Don will remember your name the second time you are around I think I've gotten gel manicures by all the artists and they all do a great job. read more

If you're looking for a really good nail tech, look no further! Don is amazing at what he does, not only that, he's friendly and he actually wants to get to know you as a person. He listens, executes, and delivers exactly as how you want your nail designs to look like. It's really rare to find a good nail tech that's friendly and listens to what you actually want. I'm happy to say that I'm here to stay and he found a loyal customer in me! A++ read more

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!

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

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

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

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

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!!

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

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

I'll start by saying I've definitely gotten a couple of cute acrylic sets here but I will be so honest, do not come to this place if you care about the health of your nails. First of all they're not consistent, it depends which tech you end up with, some of them are amazing and then some of them clearly do not know what they're doing plus don't speak english and refuse to take pointers or suggestions despite them being your nails. they do remove acrylic nails properly, this place has damaged my nails so badly bc they rip the acrylic off without soaking or filing. one guy used his own finger nail to dig under my acrylic nail to rip it off! gross!! 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

I recently got a facial from Kirsten, and was a bit disappointed, especially after seeing all the…read moreincredible reviews on Yelp! That was the whole reason I booked, and so I went in with high hopes. Let me start by saying Kirsten is a very kind woman. For the facial itself, there seemed to be much more massage (hands, arms, neck) than treatment. Felt nice, but not what I booked. I had a few white heads, her esthetician-modality doesn't believe in traditional extractions, so these were left untouched. Multiple times, she left the treatment room to let people into the boutique, which took away from feeling relaxed. Lastly, when we wrapped up, I saw it was 30 minutes past the allotted time I booked (ended at 3:50 on my appointment booking, saw my watch around 4:18). I had a commitment at 4:30, so this left me in a pinch. Maybe it was an off day, maybe this is standard, but I will likely not be returning.

10/10 would get a facial by Codie again!…read more I had an appointment with Codie for a facial and it was the most relaxing of all the facials I've gotten. The prep work was thorough, extractions were painless and massages were soothing. The products used worked great on my face, based on my skin conditions and what she recommended for me. I typically stay awake for the facials but I was so relaxed that I fell asleep! I left the shop with glowing skin and felt amazing the next morning. Will be making another appointment with her again soon (:

Had a gel manicure peel off three fingers after 48 hours. Generally just room appears dirtier & dirtier each time I go and there's lots of conversation between techs that feels like judgement of clients. 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.

I spoke with Christine, the owner. Do you know what her response was? She comped me the wax service during which I had been burned on the most sensitive part of my body, gave me a $100 gift certificate, and told me to book with a different technician. Big deal. Girl! I could sue you. The owner's response was weak. During another service, the waxer was high. She pulled my hair out so hard that the hair grew back grey. So I now have 1/2 grey pubic hair and 1/2 black pubic. I kid you not. I have been going to La Tira for 20 years, and I was a loyal customer. Now I've come to my senses. I'm going someplace else.

I did a Signature Facial with Cat the first time and loved how we started with a breathing exercise with oils to set the ambiance. This second time was with Naomi. I had the Gua Sha Facial. We started with LED lights for the arms and hands which was a first for me. Both times were so relaxing I fell asleep. Unfortunately for the second time it was during the gua sha (haha) so I don't remember most of that part. My face was glowing both times. I like how they include tip in the price. I knocked off a star because they charge a $10 credit card fee but the cost is too high to be carrying cash for it. I have bought a Gua sha tool from them, specifically to help with pressure points and migraines. I also got an attar balm recommended by my aesthetician to help with my dry patches on my cheek. I recommend coming here to treat yourself!

My facialist was Winnie, and overall the experience was fine -- efficient and straightforward. The facial itself was thorough, including gentle but effective extractions using the traditional finger method, and they also added a neck massage during the process, which was a nice bonus. They use a combination of Korean skincare products (I noticed Cellmax / Cellmax Fusion). Is it amazing? Not exactly. Not bad, but not excellent either. It's one of those places where you go when you just want to get a facial without needing anything fancy. Would I go back? I'm not sure -- mostly because I no longer live in the area. But when I did live nearby, it was a convenient, reliable option for a quick facial.

This is hands down my favorite place in the city. I recently had a massage with Angela and it was so amazing it finally made me sit down and write this review. It might honestly be one of the best massages I've ever had. She somehow knows exactly where to focus without you having to say much, and I left feeling completely relaxed and reset. I've also seen Chanra many times, and every single time I walk out thinking, "Okay, I really need to leave a review." She is consistently amazing. With both Angela and Chanra, I feel like I completely unplug from everything. It's that kind of massage where you lose track of time and don't want it to end. If you're debating where to book, this is the place. I can't recommend them enough.

Booked a last minute appointment at this place because I saw they do nail art! I decided to opt for a really basic gel manicure and pedicure, as I didn't want to immediately jump in. Thank God I did! Things started out fine, until I started looking at the tools she was using for my pedicure. I'm not a nail tech, but I have eyes, and those eyes told me that those tools didn't look clean! She was using porous tools that also looked used, which is especially gross IMO. I was skeeved out by this, so asked her to just take the polish off my nails and not give me a manicure. She took the unsanitized tools that she used on my feet to my hands and took the polish off, charged me 70 bucks, and sent me on my way. Talk about a chop shop! I wish I had pictures of the tools, but she had my nails soaking in the acetone cotton/ foil combo for 45 minutes while she did my pedicure. Just trust that this place does not look or feel clean at ALL.

My regrettable negatives, if I'm being honest, my nails look like they were done at 10 different salons (20 if you include my toes). Shape and length were not well done even after I asked for them to be evened out to my shortest broken nail. I can shape my nails better and I suck at that. And only after I left did I realize that I didn't get the "chrome" finish on my nails that I selected. 24hrs later the gel polish is already peeling. I paid $80 and left a $20 tip. Pretty disappointed. One of my nails is turning black. I will not return.
