I had such a wonderful experience at Sydney Nail Spa and felt like I had to share! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly and made to feel completely comfortable. The salon itself is clean, relaxing, and beautifully maintained it immediately gave me confidence that I was in good hands. What really stood out to me was the attention to detail and the level of care the staff put into their work. My nail technician was incredibly patient, listened to exactly what I wanted, and offered helpful suggestions without being pushy. They took their time shaping and perfecting my nails, and the final result honestly exceeded my expectations. The polish application was flawless, and you can tell they use high-quality products. I also appreciated how hygienic everything was. Tools were properly sanitized, and the overall cleanliness of the space made the experience even more enjoyable and stress-free. It's clear that they prioritize both customer satisfaction and safety. On top of that, the atmosphere is so calming it's the perfect place to unwind and treat yourself. I never felt rushed, and the staff checked in throughout to make sure I was happy with everything. Overall, Sydney Nail Spa delivers not just great nails but a truly relaxing and professional experience. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends and family. If you're looking for a nail salon that combines skill, cleanliness, and excellent customer service, this is it! read more

Pleasant experience and they do a good job. Always offering champagne, tea, candy, and snacks too. I feel like the price is fair for SF!

2 stars for nails, 3 stars for the added massage/friendly sweet staff I really wanted this to become my go-to nail salon, so I was disappointed to leave unhappy with my builder gel manicure. Unfortunately, the application felt rushed and lacked the attention to detail I was hoping for based on reviews. My previous gel wasn't completely removed, so the new color appears different on the upper half of my nails where the old gel is still underneath. The shape and length of the nails are also inconsistent, and from the side it's easy to see that the builder gel wasn't applied evenly. There is also fuzz trapped between layers :( What made this disappointing is that I told Jennifer this appointment was a trial for my upcoming wedding, so I was really hoping for a meticulous application. That said, the overall customer service was wonderful. The massage, drink service, and snacks made for a relaxing experience, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. However, for me, the quality of the nail application is the most important part of the service, and unfortunately it didn't meet my expectations. read more

I don't do this. The vibes and customer service are impeccable but the nails are not worth your money. I got GelX and it looked like press on nails, the paint was uneven. The pedicure they cut the cuticle too short that it bled. I'd only go for basic pedicure nothing else. I went to another salon to fix it read more

Do not typically post negative reviews but be careful with who you get at this salon. Went in based on great yelp and google reviews. The lady who did my pedicure was going really hard, I tried to express I was in pain. Ended up cutting me under the toe, which bled for hours after I left (had to keep foot raised). And they still charged for the service...meanwhile I'm stuck here hoping I don't get an infection. So much for wearing sandals or getting in the pool for my getaway this weekend. read more

I moved to SF a few months ago and I've tried at least 6 different salons and NOTHING compares to this place! | absolutely loved it!! The people who work here are so kind, attentive, and good at what they do. I truly had one of the most relaxing pedicures here and my friend got her nails done and they looked amazing as well. It was a good price point for amazing work. This is my new go to spot. I can't wait to go back!!! read more

Best nail spa in SF! Been going here for years. Jennifer is an absolute queen and her team is amazing. They're always so warm and welcoming--offering champagne and creating such a relaxing experience. The quality is top notch. I get hard gel here and my nails easily last three weeks. Their pedicures and massages are just as good. I send all my friends and family here, and everyone loves it as much as I do. Highly recommend read more

I love going to Jen and the girls at Sydney nail spa for my mani pedis. They always do such great work and are so welcoming. It's wonderful how Jen gets to know her clients.

I've had chrome polish, cats eye effects, nail art for the holidays, gel, acrylic, and classic french manicures. I went here for my engagement party and photos because I know they do such beautiful work. plus they have very reasonable prices for SF and always offer you tea, champagne and candy. read more

Amazing pedicures that last a really long time. The service is always friendly and there are great snacks

Sydney Nails Spa is one of those places that gets everything right. I've had manicures, pedicures, and nail buffing here, and the care is always exceptional. Jennifer creates such a welcoming, relaxing atmosphere -- with soothing music and thoughtful touches like chocolate and champagne. A real gem. read more

Sydney Nail Spa - Mani - Nail Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

wanted to love this place after seeing reviews on social media. the owner and workers are very kind but they overbook and do not turn people away even when they do not have time to complete services. I was at the salon for 1 hr 40 min for a gel manicure and had multiple people work on my nails (no one sat for more than 5 minutes at a time), dropping what they were doing for new customers that walked in well after me / switching back and forth. I just wanted someone to sit and focus on cutting, filing, and painting my nails without getting up constantly and looking around the salon (not safe). They also cut my finger when filing :( not a relaxing experience - the salon really needs time management improvements. read more

Been coming to see Jennifer and her team for years! Her team is so kind and takes great care of you. My nails are always high quality and lasts me for weeks! Could not recommend them more. read more

Honestly, your response only adds to my disappointment. I came for a manicure, and what I received had nothing to do with what I expected or with what you claim to provide. I got no care, no trimming of the cuticles, no soaking of the hands, nothing that can be called a real manicure. You simply removed my polish and reapplied another one, hastily and without any professionalism. Not only was the service sloppy, but you also had the nerve to reply completely off-topic, as if you hadn't even bothered to read my initial review. That is disrespectful and very disappointing. And the worst part is that this is nothing new! I have lived next to your salon for over 20 years. Ten years ago, I already stopped coming for manicures because I kept facing the same issue: a sloppy manicure, rushed service, and no consideration for the customer. Unfortunately, I can see that nothing has changed. read more

I love Jennifer she is the best!! Always make me feel comfortable and gives me the best service and never leaves me disappointed :) I have the best time here!! Come check them out!! read more

Acrylics were not glued straight. Filing was done fast and unevenly even though there was no one else waiting in line. Drilling was aggressive and hurt. I would tolerate it if it was done still nicely but it was not. I pointed out to the lady that it was uneven and she said it'll look better once painted to reassure me but it's not true. How can the acrylic and paint go on nicely if the base/tip was glued and filed unevenly? I ripped them off that same night. $90 for full set+simple design or paying more somewhere else would have been better in my opinion. 5 stars for the service of lady that sits by the paying station, maybe owner. read more

I love Sydney's! The staff is amazing and I always leave loving my mani/pedi! Definitely my go to spot in the city!

Best nail salon in SF. I've been going for years, and they always get it right. Super friendly, everyone is talented and knowledgeable. I've never been disappointed here! read more

The best pedicure and massage! Been coming here for years, the staff is always very friendly and welcoming.

The friendliest staff and great attention to detail. Always a very relaxing experience for my girlfriend and I

This is by far the best nail salon I've ever been to--I truly can't say enough good things. The service is exceptional, and their work is absolutely outstanding. I've never been disappointed, and my nails have never lasted longer; they're healthier and stronger than ever. I've gone a month or more between manicures with zero lifting or chipping, which is unheard of for me. Highly recommend! read more

I've walked by Sydney Nail Spa, and I'm so sorry I didn't go in sooner ! The spa is very calming and peaceful and there is a wide variety of colors and polishes. The work was efficient and skillful. Payment was very easy! Will be coming back soon ! Thank you Sydney Nail Spa! read more

Best people and service! Very friendly, kind, clean and best prices. Highly recommend this spa. Thank YOU!

So kind! I had a great experience for my acrylic set and pedicure. They helped suggest a color and everything turned out great. I broke one of my acrylic nails (complete fault of my own) and went back a few weeks later and they fixed it at no charge. I will definitely be going back and am happy to have found a regular nail spot! read more

Love this place! Every time I go to get my nails or toes done everyone is so nice and they always do a great job!

I can't believe I last left a five-star review for Sydney twelve years ago!! I still come here every few weeks and love everything about Jen and her staff. They treat me and the other regulars like family, treating us for holidays and special occasions. We come in with all kinds of crazy ideas for nail art and they always do their best to recreate them. I plan to keep coming here for at least another 14 years :) read more

Stumbled on this location, just off Union Street. Walked in and immediately greeted. Attentive to needs and provided one on one attention. Even when it started to get crowded.
