If you're looking for a more complex design, definitely specify that beforehand so they schedule you in for a longer block so no one feels rushed! Went here to get a gel manicure, and called ahead to schedule an appointment. When I arrived, I showed the woman doing my nails a picture of what I wanted, which was a french tip design but slightly more complex (essentially a double french tip), and she told me she didn't have enough time to do the design because she had a bunch of appointments after me. I apologized and decided to go with a classic french tip design instead. Halfway through the manicure, she decided she actually had enough time after all so she managed to do the design I had originally wanted. It was a nice surprise, but I felt pretty frazzled because it was such a last-minute change. It was a really quick manicure, but I felt that she was rushing the whole time, maybe because of the appointments afterwards, which made me feel a bit stressed. Not the most relaxing manicure ever but it turned out fine. The nail lady was really nice and I definitely don't blame her for being stressed about running behind on appointments. Don't know if she always works this fast-paced but just keep that in mind if you're looking for a more relaxing manicure experience! The nails lasted a really long time and only chipped in a few places but that's probably on me :')

UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT -- BETTER THAN EVER!!! Excellent customer service; reasonably priced. My first mani-pedi after having hip surgery. Jen does amazing work. The assistant Din Ve assisted me in/out of shop with walker and two steps. He went ABOVE and BEYOND in walking with me to the corner of Bush and Taylor and across the street to ensure a safe trip home. A hop, skip and a jump from the Union Square area and the shop runs ON TINE with appointments. A good idea to call first and schedule. Also 2 iconic pizza places nearby. You may as well make a day of it on Bush Street. Barbara Streisand sure did in "What's Up Doc" (Corner of Bush and Jones) and it worked out pretty well for her.

If you're looking for a nail salon in the Nob Hill neighborhood, look no further, and go to Tina's Nails! I've been getting dip powder manicures and regular pedicures here for over a year now. Gwen always does an amazing job! The dip powder manicures and pedicures last for a month and they don't chip! I highly recommend going here.

Booking an appointment was effortless. My cousin and I had a fantastic experience. variety of nail art designs and a wide selection of colors to choose from. I would definitely go again.

I wanted to add another review because I've been coming here for a few years now and have become a regular of getting a Powder Nail Manicure. If you've never tried Powder or had a bad experience at other places, Gwen does a fantastic job and the best I've seen in SF. The powder mani lasts over a month, and it never lifts like I've seen at other places and where your hair gets caught in the cuticle. I've switched from Gel to Powder because the Powder doesn't ruin/weaken your nail bed. She also does designs as well and has quite a few selections. If you want to get a powder manicure, I'd suggest you'd make an appointment ahead of time. I also still get my Brazilian and eyebrow waxed here on the regular. She's super fast and efficient every time!

I wanted rainbow chrome for Pride month and I got it!! I've always tried chrome with OPI's push and shove and felt like I gotta switch it up. This place does it best and it's honestly one of the more reasonably priced salons in SF!! For sure coming back!

Gwen did an amazing job in my nails. I'm super picky and didn't even have to say anything. She made me feel so relaxed. And it's one person at a time so it's not stressful like normal salons. Very quiet and nice. I did it a neutral matte color and love it. Mary did my toes a gorgeous color and perfectly done. She gave me a quick foot massage after with lotion so that my feet were hydrated. Overall very clean and quiet and relaxing with excellent service and ended up with perfect nails. Thanks Gwen and Mary!

Tina's nail salon is great! Good quality and good prices. Very nice and was able to the design I requested. Such nice people and very sweet. Definitely coming back

Made it thick on the tip like I asked in one coat so the nail itself was thin and smooth and natural on my natural nail. Beautiful

Gwen was a master with my black tip french gel manicure - you would be shocked how many nail ladies cannot actually do this! It's a serious skill and she has it. So happy to finally find a competent nail tech in SF who doesn't charge your life savings ...and even when they do it looks and feels worse than this. Hannah executed my regular pedicure with efficiency combined with a gentle touch to Mr sensitive toes that had been toes for an embarrassing month and a half . My bad. Thank you dear for making them pretty again by some miracle. Small place - make an appointment Worth every penny and more

I live close by and I started getting gel manis/pedis here out of convenience. They do a fantastic job and they are very thorough! I have a habit of chewing on my cuticles and they get me looking right!

Tina's Nails is a good nail salon in the city. The two women working there are so friendly and caring, and while the place is on the smaller side it has very homey vibes. There are two massage chairs with cushioned pillows and you should definitely make an appointment although walk ins are welcome, since they are quite busy. The gel manicure I got took a whole hour but it was done to perfection with my cuticles perfectly trimmed and 2 layers of gel top coat applied. The only issue that I noticed with my nails were that there were tiny specks of black that were trapped under the top coat of nail polish. I assume these were specks of dirt from the UV lamp machine that fell onto the drying nails and got sealed in with the top coat. While this does not look bad per say, I am not a fan of the dirt speckled look. Otherwise Tina's nails was a good salon to visit if you are in need of a manicure.

Jessica A.

Both ladies here are always fabulous. I recently started coming here in March and now I am becoming a regular. My nails always look fabulous when I leave and you can tell they really care about what they do. This is the best nail salon I've been to in San Francisco in the 10 years I've lived here.

Angela M.

Gwen is AMAZING. Photos don't do her work justice. I come every month for a dip powder mani and gel pedi and I always leave feeling like that girl. She's really skilled and can do it all - ombré, French tip, multi color, etc. And the dip powder lasts a solid 3-4 weeks before I have to come back! She gets busy so I'd recommend calling a day in advance and scheduling an appointment. Go see Gwen now!!!

I came here for gel x because the price is a little cheaper than the salon at the next street over. The shape was not exactly as I asked for and was a little clumpy to be honest but I thought it was ok since I saved 20 bucks. Worst part was 5 of my nails broke within four days. The materials here are very bad and it's not the gel x. When i did the same nail treatment at a different salon it lasted 6 weeks. These nails feel flimsy. read more

Gwen and Jen were very nice and worked on me at the same time. I love that as it is a timesaver! I told them I was hungry and they recommended a place a block over to get coffee and great Vietnamese sandwiches. I gave it a try and it did not disappoint! My nails turned out FABULOUS too!!

They don't *really* take appointments. If you call they will tell you if they are currently busy at the moment or not, and not put any appointment into a calendar. I know because I had a dip powder manicure appointment, and when I showed up on time, the staff was genuinely surprised. The whole time I was there, Gwen, who was doing my manicure, "took appointments" over her phone through her watch but didn't actually put anything into a calendar. What's the point of making an appointment, then? Anyway, the manicure itself was rushed, sloppy, and lacking proper nail prep. It started lifting in a few days and I went to a different salon to have it removed and redone. For what it's worth, it seemed clean enough and no harm was done apart from the wallet damage. If you are just getting your toenails done I'm sure you'll be be happy. Otherwise, they don't seem to take pride in their work nor enjoy their craft, and it shows. read more

Tina is super hardworking and detailed, and constantly made sure I was happy with my nails from the shape to the length and the color. It was my first time doing a powder dip manicure and the results were super pretty! It's definitely a bit thicker than regular color cause of the layers and about the same thickness as gel (if not slightly thicker), but Tina sanded it down so that the edges taper off and doesn't stick out oddly. It also seemed less fussy than a gel manicure cause it didn't require the UV light. I'm so glad that my friend recommended this shop to me for manicures and I'll definitely be back for both regular and powder manis! Remember to call ahead for an appointment especially around the holidays! read more

A few things. This place is expensive especially given the quality of work and overall experience inside the salon. In the beginning, I wanted to get dip so they sat me down in a chair. After a few minutes (while picking color) I decided I wanted to add extensions and the younger woman rolled her eyes at me because she had to move me to the chair next to it. I was the only customer in the salon. Then, the nail technician cut my pinky with a filer and instead of trying to quickly clean up the area and sanitize it, started panicking and nervously laughing. I understand that it's an accident but please learn how to professionally address a problem you have created. Only a week later, one of my nails fell off. Please take into consideration that I was on a vacation, so no sauna, dishes, or even laptop work. See pic. I paid $70 for this job. Really disappointing as I was visiting from out of town and maybe she would have done a better job had I not said that. The salon itself is tiny. I hope they sanitized the instruments after cutting me. Wouldn't recommend. read more

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!

I'll be back soon, thank you, Alex!

A very tasteful, custom design for an 11 y.o. They lasted almost 4 weeks but finally time to take them off. We made an appt for 2:30 today and due to Jenny not getting the message we had to wait about 30-40 minutes. Not the biggest deal, really nice out and our favorite boba spot just a few blocks down Polk St. When we got back the other woman in the shop started taking off the gels, they were taking a while to saturate enough to fully remove so the cotton with acetone and foil had to stay on longer. My daughter's fingers started burning and when we let them know, Jenny prompted the other woman to take a look. Not ready yet so while the owner was finishing up with another client this other woman needed to take care of it. At one point a customer had to ask this other woman to help my daughter, that she would kindly wait. It took over an hour to remove and clean up her nails, no manicure after. Two hours later my daughter's poor fingers are still burning. Jenny was quite apologetic and adjusted the price as a courtesy. We love Jenny but maybe she needs some more support in her shop.

Tina's is a place I would have never noticed if I wasn't referred by my friend who lives down the block. It's a tiny establishment, with no bells and whistles. They do have a lot of color options - so many that I had a hard time choosing. The ladies were patient with me as I changed my mind on my toe color about 5 times! The place is comfy but by no means fancy. You don't get the fancy spa jet chairs or TV to watch while you're getting your services. But they're fast and efficient and I was really happy with my gel mani and regular pedi when it was done. I was so sore and tired from the weekend that I was hoping they'd offer me one of those 5 minute massages for $5, but alas they just did the nails and moved on. Maybe next time I'll ask, as I'm seeing some massage pics in the Yelp photos! The gel mani and regular pedi cost me $48 before tip. A reasonable price, friendly service, and good work - that's enough for me! read more
