We were in San Francisco for a friends birthday party and I desperately need to get a manicure and pedicure. I pulled up YELP and looked for a location that was relatively close by, open for the next few hours and had good reviews. I found Roses Heels. We arrived a little bit early and found parking across the street easily (paid parking). The location is on a corner and when we showed up, they kept the store front locked. Having been born and raised right outside of SF, I understand, especially for woman who are working alone, why they take this extra precaution. When we arrived at the door, they quickly validated who we were and let us in. It is medium size salon and doesn't have the fancy spa chairs, but I have to tell you, that was ok. Why, because the care that was taken to do my nails (mani and pedi) was so well done and with care, these woman are amazing! The salon is clean, and has a Asian decor that is comfortable and relaxing. The chairs are ones that are deep and you sink into - very comfortable. They had all the colors to chose from and while I did a French tip, they were able to discuss and match the pinkish base as well. I absolutely will visit this location again when I am back in town. If you are looking for a nail salon that truly cares about its customer, this is the place.
Rosy Heels welcomed our bachelorette party with such welcoming arms! Both ladies were in the zone, working on our group of six people (mani/pedis). You can tell they care for their customers, both loyal and new!
I almost wanted to gatekeep this nail salon, but after 3 years of coming here I decided to give them a much deserved review. I've been to every nail salon in the city and while I do love over-the-top nail designs, not one salon in this city can do gel nails without a super thick layer of gel. We've all been to "that one place" with the 1,000+ reviews, but they want you in and out, do not care about the health of your nails, and overcharge. Rosy Heels reminds me of the days where my mom would take me to the hole in the wall Asian nail shop with the sweetest ladies working there. Helen and Kim are those sweet ladies. They are wonderful and give you the most relaxing experience. I really enjoying coming to this shop because I know they're going to take great care of me. I have naturally long nails and after different nail shop totally ruined my healthy nails, Rosy Heels brought them back to life. It is a no frills salon, no giant massage chairs and they specialize in natural manicures and pedicures (no acrylic). When I say it's the best pedicure I've ever had I mean it's THE BEST. If you have an afternoon off and want to experience a self-care mani/pedi (and aren't in a rush ~ they really take their time) book an appt here!
Got a beautiful gel manicure and will definitely return they are very delicate and did so good I got exactly what I asked for Karen and Helen are so kind and welcoming I loved my time there!!!!
This place is unassuming! They don't have those massage chairs, they have a better cozier lounger. It's wide and cozy. I was there before close for a mani/pedi and they both turned out fabulous. The ambience is quiet and clean. And I might say the best pedicure I've ever had.
I'm happily and eagerly handing over five stars because of how lovely the two owners of this place are, how affordable it is, and how pleasant the experience was overall. It is certainly no frills, but you get your nails done for a great deal, by really nice ladies. I've been to TOO many nail salons where people are talking crap about you while they work on your nails... and while I'm not one to be overly sensitive about these things, I have no intention of going to such places when spots like this exist. Thank you to both proprietors for taking good care of me, hyping up my color choice, and being so accommodating after I changed my mind two times. They also do waxing in the back room and if you try hard enough, are really great conversationalists and actually pretty funny/sassy duo.
I really wanted to give 5/5 stars, but unfortunately my most recent visit was not up to their usual standard of quality. I've been to Rosy Heels four times now (three times in late 2019-early 2020 and most recently earlier this week, early 2022). Though the decor is not exactly modern, the salon itself is clean and not too cramped, and they currently have every other chair blocked off for COVID-19 distancing purposes. Staff were double masked and wore gloves for the entire time, which I appreciated. I called around 4:45 PM for a same-day appointment at 5:15 PM, and the salon was empty when I arrived at 5:10 PM. I've only ever gotten my nails done here, so I can't comment on the pedicure process. The nail prep treatment itself is very good; I like that they remove old gel nails with light dremeling and soaking with reusable nail clips (to hold the tissue in place), unlike foil like other salons use. The cuticle and nail prep is careful and meticulous. However, I only feel comfortable recommending their gel nail service (~$34), about which I have no complaints. The regular / non-gel nail polish application (~$24) was unfortunately very streaky and bumpy, with obvious air bubbles, and you can still see the scratches from the buffing underneath. I believe they use a polish brand called WAVE instead of your usual Essie or OPI, but I was quite disappointed with my most recent visit, especially since I'd had such a good impression of their services before. UPDATE: By Thursday night, two days later, the nail polish was already chipping at the edges. That said, I still tipped them 20% like usual, since they've done a good job in the past and I wouldn't want to tip any less to service workers in this time. I can't help but feel a little bummed though. TL;DR, go here for gel nails only, not regular nail polish! (There is not much parking in this area, as street parking can be difficult in SOMA. I'd recommend BART/MUNI, as it's walking distance from the Civic Center BART and several bus stops.)
Nice place and clean environment. Great job and very pleased. Would defonatley come back for sure!
Most amazing nail experience ever!! I went once on an emergency and I was hooked. The customer service and quality of work were "MAGNIFICENT " .... I'm a forever client!

The lady worked with me to deliver the off-white pearl finish. She made sure that it was the correct white and brought three shades to chose from. It is a quite salon and I like the soft electronic music playing in the background. read more

Lovely and cozy salon. Helen was amazing, she was very friendly, kind and did an amazing job for my nails. She took care of my nails very gently and nicely. I was debating between two colors and she helped to pick which one will suits my hands better. Such a great experience, highly recommended. read more

Solid nail salon in SOMA! Reasonably priced, very friendly service and great extras. They always serve tea and cake when you arrive and have a great color selection. I've come a couple times and they do great gel manicures that last a long time. Only room for improvement is that even if you make an appointment, you may have to wait. I waited 20 min today even after calling ahead but it was fine especially with the tea and magazines to pass the time. They do take credit cards but cash is preferred. read more

Just came here this afternoon and this place is adorable. It has only been a few hours so I will have to update with how my nails held up but I am very pleased. The studio is cute, the ladies nice. They don't charge for gel removal which is great. $30 for gel mani Okay the best part is they give you a bit of tea and cake. Everyone gets a little cake and tea! So lovely. read more

Omg! Omg! $25 pedicure in SoMa is unheard of, and they are so clean!! It's a pet peeve of mine when places don't follow state board procedures, and the staff is super friendly and they took me last minute. They also offer cake and tea with their service. I've been wanting to try this place for the last 2 years and I am so happy I did! I cannot be happier, plus it's down the street from my work.i think this is my new place I'm SF! GOTTA CHECK THIS PLACE OUT YELP FRIENDS! Just make sure to call ahead, because they do get super busy! Oh, and they add a warm neck pillow! read more

Had an amazing experience at Rosy Heels! They have exemplary service and a range of different services to choose from as well. I went in for a mani pedi - Helen was incredible, enthusiastic and efficient. I let them know I had to rush out in an hour and they made sure to be cognizant of my time. Would highly recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for a great local spot for nail and facial services. Side note: they also bring out chocolate cake and tea for you when you sit down. A+ stuff. read more

My feet are relieved. It was a badly needed pedicure. Kind of like when you are starving and pretty much everything tastes amazing. However, this was an excellent low tech pedicure. Meaning there was no crazy spa chair but It was very comfortable. It took all of 30 minutes for her to clean up and buff my feet. I'm feeling light on my feet again. They also offer you tea and cake. Last but not least it's a very calm atmosphere. The perfect time to disconnect and just enjoy. Yay and thank you. read more
