Chrome gel mani
Ruta G.

Great spot for sugar hair removal! Alison does an amazing job! Another huge plus that they have a nail salon here- saved myself time and also got a chrome gel mani and regular pedicure.

Mani/Pedi
Lauren C.

This place is awesome! I called in day of and was able to schedule an appointment with no wait time. The spa is clean, pretty, and it's easy to find parking. The ladies who did my mani/pedi were so nice and took their time. I will definitely be coming back here!

Gel pedicure after initial classic pedicure was smudged and removed.
Jessica D.

I recently decided to treat myself to a gel manicure and regular pedicure on a monthly basis. Sol Y Luna is walking distance from my home, so I thought I'd give this place a try. Per their website, they only do nails Wednesday through Sunday, so I sent a text for a Wednesday appointment. Apparently, they no longer do nails on Wednesdays, so they convinced me to come in for an appointment that evening instead. I shuffled my schedule around so I could make it in for the gel manicure and classic pedicure ($65). I came in with the salon completely empty and three employees sitting around. As I was selecting my colors, I showed one of the staff a simple design I wanted: just two simple brush strokes across the nail. All of a sudden, all three staff members swarmed around me. One of them started telling me that, oh no, they don't do design there. She claimed that only salons that do acrylics do design (not true) and that it's only so they can squeeze more money out of me (paying a little extra was not an issue for me). She went on and on about this. Then, she said she probably COULD do it, but she doesn't have time! She has so many customers to tend to! Again, the salon was completely empty except for myself and the staff. The entire "lecture" was uncomfortable and I was spoken to as if I were a child. Not wanting to argue, and since I was already there, I chose a simple pink for my manicure and a burgundy/chocolate color for my pedicure. The lady began working on my nails, sanding down the existing gel manicure I had (which was beautifully done overseas). The gel application process was lengthy, which made it seem as if she was being extra detailed and thorough. Unfortunately, the end result was a lumpy, uneven application. My pinky was also cut. The pedicure, in the meantime, consisted of lukewarm water. I asked the nail technician to not cut down my toenails too much as it's really uncomfortable when wearing closed-toe shoes. He cut down my nails as short as they can possibly go AND my big toe was extremely uneven. The lady who had lectured me took over after that and she tried cutting it down further to even it out, which was extremely painful so I told her to stop and leave it. She took her time painting my toes with three coats of polish. Before I could even move out of my chair when instructed, the polish smudged. It was closing time, so I was worried they'd try to send me home with the ruined polish. Instead, after some thinking, she said they'd have to start all over and quickly removed the polish, and convinced me to get gel on my toes, too, at no extra charge. I wanted a similar dark color, but she insisted I just get the pink used on my hands so it would take less coats and I'd be done faster. Wanting to go home, I agreed. The gel application on my toes ended up looking much better than on my hands. I paid, tipped, and left. Just days later, the manicure started to lift on the sides of my nails. As my nails started growing out, the lumpy application was more obvious. Finally, a week and a half later, a huge chunk of gel polish has lifted and broken off of my nail. I'm not rough on my hands and have had regular manicures last longer than this. My experience at Sol Y Luna was poor and I would not go back. The work is mediocre and the treatment I received was not pleasant.

Gorgeous work by Tina
Stephanie A.

My new favorite spot! Allison and Henry are great, always welcoming and always making sure customers leave happy. Tina is my fave nail girl by far. I found this gem after living in the neighborhood for over a year and glad I did. Organic products, high quality gels and selections. It's hard finding a place that provides service and quality these days and Sol Y Luna Spa does. My nails typically last me 3-5 weeks and occasionally we get goodies while waiting on our nails curing :) thanks team!

Alex C.

After visiting several sub-par nail salons, I found this gem in my neighborhood less than a year ago and have been coming here ever since! Henry and Allison are always so welcoming and make you feel at home. Tina always does my gel manicure and she does an amazing job! She's very meticulous and a perfectionist which I really appreciate. I always walk out extremely happy with my new mani and pedi. Not to mention that the polish lasts forever before any signs of chipping!

Gel mani going strong after more than a month
Danielle B.

These guys are awesome. I should have written this review preCOVID. But I have even more evidence for how good they are. I got a gel mani on Feb 28 and it's still amazingly chip free! I wish I had someone other than my husband to see how good these nails still look. I also wish I knew how to get the gel off once the bottom of the polish inches up further. Here's hoping I don't totally ruin my nails when the time comes to try removing this. And here's hoping Sol y Luna is going strong post COVID.

The online booking process was easy, and I was able to find an appointment about four or five days out. After living in Marin County for more than 17 years and recently moving back to San Francisco, I'm happy to have a salon just 6-8 minutes from home instead of driving to San Rafael for my usual pedicure! Mina Spa is a cozy neighborhood nail salon with a straightforward, city-salon feel. When I arrived for my 9:30 appointment, there were already three or four customers inside. I was immediately asked which service I wanted, directed to choose a color, and seated, although no one checked whether I had an appointment. Since it's a busy spot with plenty of walk-ins, expect a casual atmosphere rather than a luxury spa experience. Lien was quick, gentle, and clearly experienced. I especially appreciated how carefully she cleaned up my cuticles! The salon had a nice selection of colors, and although my first choice was unavailable, Lien found a similar peachy, pearly shade that turned out beautifully. The wax treatment and booties at the end also left my feet feeling incredibly soft. My main hesitation is the value. The pedicure came to $98 before tip, and at that price, I expected a longer hot stone massage and a more indulgent experience overall. I was happy with the final result, but the service didn't quite feel worth $98 to me. I tipped Lien $20 because I enjoyed talking with her, appreciated her service, and wanted to show my gratitude. I found metered parking near Canyon Market, just a short walk across the street, which added another $3-4. Overall, I'd rate my visit a 7/10. I would return to see Lien because I liked her work and the location is so convenient, but next time I'd probably choose a simpler pedicure.

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!

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.

Eventually, I stopped going for a few reasons. the first reason is quality of service. i understand this is a family business but there is a certain level of consideration i'd expect to receive as a repeat customer. pedicures are done by one technician and manicures by another. after realizing the quality difference between the two technicians i requested to only be seen fit my pedis by the typical manicurist. this was met with some pushback after having to return to the salon to redo subpar work. the second, every time i came in for the same service i was met with a different price. i value entrepreneurship, but when clients are consistent the nuances become apparent. i attribute it to my preferred style being short and natural, which inherently is inexpensive compared to the intricate designs and styles this technician is known for. therefore to make her time worth more, i was overcharged for basic services. this left a bad taste in my mouth third, scheduling and communication. i would reach out to the tech to inquire on her availability and would not get responses to messages nor phone calls. of course this was not always the case but there wasn't a consistent way to get in contact to book appointments. lastly, my natural nails did not stay healthy nor gain length. They often time would break or chip, which is uncommon for such short nails. initially i thought my nails were the problem, but after going to a new technician, i have had long healthy nails for over a year. the interior is pretty standard and parking is decent if you go into the residential area. music plays sometimes but you can get work done. overall i would not return now that i see when quality service looks like. i have nothing against the technicians, who offer kindness and great conversation, but overall not the place for me.

However, my last visit left me a little disappointed because while it was extremely relaxing and the service was great, I'm not so happy with how my actual nails turned out :-( I did the Volcano Spa service for both my pedicure and manicure which were absolutely lovely, along with gel remove and gel on both my fingers and toes. The 10 minutes of massage for both were so nice, especially the shoulders and upper back that came with the manicure. But during the gel remove, the gel on my fingers was removed with the drill. It was the same on my toes but I don't have an issue there. Normally I wouldn't mind, but my natural fingernails were drilled down so thin that even though I cut my nails short, they're ripping at the ends with normal daily wear and tear. I went on Saturday morning and I've had two nails rip at the ends already and it is only Tuesday morning. I'm not sure if it was because I came in with long nails already (imagine asking for a medium-long set) and they may have been mistaken for gel-x or something of the sort, but it was just my natural nails with gel on top. I can even feel on all of my fingernails just how thin they were drilled down because suddenly all my nails are very flimsy, even with several gel coats on top. The rest of the service and experience were great, so it's a bit disappointing to feel like I regret how much I paid because of how weak my fingernails became after this appointment. Regardless I would still return in the future if I want the pampering experience, but if I can do without the massage and just need my nails done I may choose another salon instead. Just something to note if you're someone who is worried about your nail strength. UPDATE 8/4 9:48PM: Another nail ripped pretty far down just from scratching my head :-(
