Damage mani after 1 hour!
Lina F.

Terrible value for your dollar. $40 for mani and pedi and the place doesnt even have a place to sit to dry with heaters. For disclosure- I was on my phone talking a lot but the facilities isn't adequate enough for a nail parlor. There are NO heaters for anything!! I did ask for a heater and the owner go huffy on me. I still tipped $10 but really the facilities arent proper for nail place or for the price of $40!! WHO AIR DRIES NAILS THESE DAYS!!!! The massage chairs are nice but because of the lack of drying area and not so friendly service from my Vietnamese peeps!

SO PEACEFUL. This place was so calming and I loved the vibes. Nails and eyebrows turned out great. Didn't see any recent reviews so I wanted to post and recommend

What I got
Kelly S.

Horrible job! I just left and spent 70 on these. I wish she would've just said she couldn't do the design instead of attempting this

Ann and her establishment is awwwsome in every way great customer service I recommend her if you want great prices and love

We were searching for any place that was available in the area. So we choose this one cause the first one was too busy. There's 1 hr metered parking out front. They have 6 pedicure chairs, 2 tables for manicures & 3 massage chairs for when you are done. There were 3 women working & only 1 customer at the time. We chose the $38 Spa Mani & Pedi. My experience was lovely. I loved every moment! I checked out some of the reviews for this place & I guess with only 3 workers you shouldn't come here if it's too busy. We got lucky cause there was only 1 customer.

I'm sad to post a not so great review. Been here a few times and always had a great experience. Friendly staff -went in 330 on Wednesday and said I need to get a full set in about 45 minutes. Said no problem and wouldn't be the first time I've had them done under an hour. The lady was friendly and applied everything well up until the acrylic powder where she just dumped layers on and didn't even them out. My nails look like giant blobs of gel... there's no shape and they aren't smooth. Looks like acrylic sets if I tried doing them on my own at home. Another lady at the salon noticed they looked "blob" like and tried to help and buff them out. Honestly this just made the process sloppy and painful. It hurt very bad and just lessened the experience. It was also 35$ a few months ago for a full set and now it was 50 with gel??? Not extremely pleased about that either. All in all I feel like I'm out $50 and now that I have to go elsewhere tomorrow to get them fixed because the quality just doesn't look good and I don't want these nails for three weeks.

Picture of what I asked for and what I received.

If I could give 0 stars I would. First there were bugs crawling across the station I could see from the pedicure chair... nail tech just watched it and didn't say or clean them up. Next I asked 5 times for a fill including when i made my appointment, showed a picture of what I wanted simple French Manicure with powder over my natural nails same as what I previously had. She didn't drill the old powder she put powder right over the top of it.. then asked if that was what I wanted I said no and said I'll show you the picture again. She looked and said that my old powder wouldn't let her do that. So I said you have to file the old powder.. she then started removing the old powder put pink powder all over my nails and said I'll paint the white.. I said I wanted powder but ok. She painted the nails and you could see the line of fill underneath because she didn't file the old powder enough. So she decided she was painting them pink with gel polish. Hoping to fix her mistakes she then started the white portion by now I've been sitting there for 1.5 hours pregnant and just wanted to get out of the dirty environment so said fine paint them. She painted the pink then white and went to try them. They were still wet when she tried filing again and so she messed up the white portion and now we're at 2 hours. She dried them some more and said it'll be 75 dollars for my nails. I said for nails and pedi correct? And she said no 45 for pedi and 75 for nails. And I said it's 75 for a fill? she said no I took off your old nails, then did a new set then gel polish. I said I don't have nails and didn't come in with nails it was a routine fill. The nail tech next to her who started working on them with her also kept telling her fill and the lady started yelling at her and saying no I know what I did and I said again you didn't put a set of nails on these are my nails and she said nope pay $75. So I paid her I don't mind paying for services I received, but this place doesn't follow directions, says they can do things they cannot (a simple French manicure couldn't even be done) and charges you for services you don't receive so please beware!!

I moved to sf after living in nyc for a decade & felt stressed about finding new nail salon... and…read morethen I found Boniva. I called to see if there was availability & was able to arrange an appointment within the hour. The service was immaculate & speedy. Can happily report I can end my nail salon search

I was looking for affordable places to get my nails done in SF and stumbled across Boniva nails on…read moreTikTok! I called the salon and made an appointment with Michelle. She was very accommodating and was able to fit me in the next day. I would recommend calling earlier though as I did go on a Sunday morning and that may be a less busy time. When I arrived at the salon, I was immediately greeted and asked to have a seat in one of the salon chairs. I was glad that my appointment time was respected and I could get started right away. The experience of getting my nails done was overall a pleasant one! I was given some water and a Madeline which was sweet. I got a gel mani + pedi and had two people working on me at once which I appreciated time wise. I had a design in mind and Michelle was happy to accommodate. I will say that the design isn't as intricate as the reference photo, but she did ask me if I was happy with the design and I was so I said yes. I also wanted a stone like the reference picture but Michelle did mention that she could not guarantee that it would stick. She offered some alternatives but I didn't like them so we went ahead with the gems. I will say that I felt a little pressured into not getting the gems which I didn't totally appreciate. I was okay with the disclaimer and accepted it. She really took her time with my nails, making sure I was happy with how everything looked. If there was something I didn't like, she would redo it. This really stood out to me and I really appreciated it. The pedicure was also nice! The french tips were done very cleanly (with no direction which was nice) and they used a scrub + hot stones as a part of the service which was pretty cool. The price breakdown was as follows: - gel mani + pedi for 100 including gel removal - french tips on hands + feet for 10 each, 20 total - floral design for 12 dollars, 6 per hand (2 nails each) - total = 132 before tip I thought the price was pretty fair for the work done! I will say I would've hoped the french for my hands would've been cheaper since I didn't get it on all my nails but a difference of $4 dollars seemed pretty trivial. Overall I had a good experience here and would definitely consider coming back! PSA: They do require cash for tips and take card for service. No Venmo (which I would've probably preferred as most other salons take this form of payment).
