    I only asked for gel removal and an almond shape. I left with absolutely chopped nails. Worst $81 I ever spent. Please save your money and time and go elsewhere!!

    Kayla did my nails just as I asked. She did an amazing job with the cat eye and adding on the chrome.

    Gel manicure

    Ms. Kayla does it again!! I love my gel nails so much, and I'm always taken care of well at Q Spa.

    Amazing service and attention to detail!! I got a manicure from Chelsea and she did a wonderful job and was such a joy to talk to will definitely be coming back!!

    Burgundy cat eye with silver underneath

    They did an amazing job, my nails looked beautiful i came in for a burgundy cat eye and I was nervous at first when she was applying a cloud I would never use but the final results were exactly what I was looking for. wow!! Thank you chelsea!

    Kayla did a great job on my dip nails with tips. She was very gentle on my nails and I will be back. She can do dip, Gel X and hard gel also. Made an appointment for a Tuesday at 11 and it took about 1.5 hours. Thanks Kayla. Update: I went back to file my nails shorter as after a few days I realized they were too long to be functional at work. It took about 20 mins and I was charged $25, which I was quite surprised by. I wish I filed it at home.

    Came here on a Friday afternoon with a friend. Be sure to make a reservation because they are BUSY! They have a pretty quick turnaround so they're able to see a lot of people and accept last minute reservations. They have a great color selection and are able to do fun designs. Docking a star only because I wish the hand and foot massage better since it was pretty minimal. I would have appreciated a better massage because they barely did much. However they did include a hot stone which was nice. Also I felt the chairs for the manicure area were not super comfortable. In summary, I would come back since they were nice ladies and had a great selection of color for nails.

    Hard gel manicure

    Chelsea does an amazing job with hard gel! It lasts for weeks and weeks. Such a great atmosphere :)

    Lee at Q spa did a beautiful job with this tips + Gel mani. She's very thorough but pretty fast. 10/10 recommend Q Spa.

    Great service. Great quality of work for tips + gel manicure. Lee is great, she is super communicative about length, nail shape and does a great shop. So happy with the final product.

    This glowing review is LONG overdue. Ever since coming here the first time (years ago at this point?), I can't even imagine going anywhere else. They have done such a great job keeping my nails beautiful and healthy. Kayla and Kate are both so so so good at what they do. I am and always have been insufferably particular about my nails. Historically, getting my nails done has led to nothing but a string of traumatic experiences. So glad I found this place. I've never once left here bleeding or feeling embarrassed about how my nails look. Kayla always gives me exactly what I'm looking for - the perfect gel mani. Nicely shaped, natural length preserved, not goopy/chunky, and color matched exactly every time. They are great about being able to replicate reference photos exactly. If I have an afternoon to spare, I'll get a pedicure done here too. Kate is the best at nail art, so I like to have her do my French tip painting and/or pedicures. If you want to get both a mani and pedi, make sure to allot at least three hours here. They really take their time making things perfect. The only downside about coming here is you need to give them time to be meticulous. There's not typically a wait, but I would still highly suggest an appointment if you want a specific technician. A small place, but housing quite a bit of talent. I'll continue to frequent here for years to come. Much love to this very special team!

    I'm not usually a nail person because having fake nails is super impractical for me. Like it takes a lot for me to want to go into a salon rather than doing it myself. But since I hadn't come in a really long time, and my cuticles were overgrown. I could wait no longer. Booking an appointment is very convenient online. I was able to book the day before which was nice. Parking is a pain though, I was circling for 15 min trying to find a nearby spot. From when I sat down til when I left was about an hour for both a basic mani and pedi. They did a good job. Pro tip: Bring cash for tip.

    Cat eye gel is so pretty! Lily is super good at aesthetics and recommendations. My nails look like lavender raindrop.

    These bad boys lasted more than 3 weeks: travel, portola fest, and beyond.

    Victoria's is still a solid five stars for hair removal!…read more Since my first review over a decade ago, a few things have changed - the studio moved (just a few blocks east, with better parking in my opinion), I've moved (a few times!), I tried laser hair removal (meh), and Dao has upgraded her electrolysis machine (making her process even faster). Through all the changes, my rating and loyalty remains. I can even walk across the street from where I currently live to get waxed instead of driving across the Bay Bridge and halfway across the city to get to Victoria's, but I still prefer Dao! Dao's efficiency, excellent work, affordable prices, and sweet, chatty demeanor keep me coming back. Although my first Brazilian electrolysis session was over 7 years ago, I have only booked/been able to tolerate 30 minute sessions, 1-3x per year. Certain areas of the body have more stubborn hair that requires more sessions, and Dao is very upfront about all of this. A few weeks after each session I notice less and less hair regrowing; there are certain areas where hair has never come back, and the areas that she continues to work on gets smaller and smaller. I look forward to my next session with Dao and I'm thinking I will ask her health/beauty tips, because she doesn't look a day older than the first day I met her!

I've always been super scared about getting a Brazilian despite my relatively high pain tolerance. I decided to bite the bullet by booking with Erin after a long day at work. In all honesty, she made the experience so much easier and relaxing even despite the pain and discomfort that comes from these waxes specifically. Upon walking in, she instantly greeted me and was super welcoming. I used the bathroom before my wax to calm my nerves and walked into such a pretty and pink glittery bathroom! Not gonna lie, it was a pretty good distraction lol. Like any person would, I was pretty nervous but I decided to go for it because of the results. It was so worth it. It does hurt, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be. Your first wax always hurts the most because obviously you don't know what to expect, but it does get better after the first strip. I have to say though, what really helped ease my nerves was how chill the whole environment was. The staff makes every client feel welcome, and in my case Erin was super friendly, thorough, and overall such a vibe. It made the entire experience feel a lot less intimidating. They also have complimentary snacks and drinks and initially I passed on them because of how nervous I was, but after my session, best believe I ran to the snack station. As an SF native, I am proud to say that I will be returning to reWAXation as a regular! I am so glad I found this gem. Thank you to Erin and the team for making this experience so much less daunting and a bit more fun!

For context, I only come a few times a year for special occasions or events, but all customers should be treated the same... The nail tech assigned to me didn't even say hello, yet fawned over the "regulars." The actual pedicure was sloppy and unprofessional. The attached photo speaks for itself--uneven shape, sloppy paint job, and a small lint on the right big toe. When I politely asked the nail tech to fix it, she rudely said "I know!" But didn't even fix it in the end. In addition, she did not cap the free edges and the next day, the nail polish chipped on a few nails (not pictured).
