Absolutely love this place! I've been coming to these wonderful ladies for a few years now. I've always gotten a gel mani/pedi for $70 even. These ladies are both so attentive and precise with their work. My nails always last 3-5 weeks. I recommend making an appointment because they are a small hole in the wall location with only three chairs with a lot of regular customers. Definitely recommend. read more

I wish they had said that they're not an actual salon before I got there. When I entered, I was so confused because there was literally only one "office chair," and they were going to bring a "bowl" from the back to put my feet in for a pedicure. It made me so uncomfortable that I left. read more

I always love this place. It's little, so try to make an appointment. CINDY IS A DREAM! Seriously she does the most thorough and cared for acrylics I've ever gotten in my entire life. I've been going to her for years when I'm in town, and have always gotten acrylics, with either regular polish or gel. Just today, she gave me the most beautifully shaped acrylic nails and free handed the French tip gels, and OMG they're stunning. She's the best and really cares about what YOU want. Highly recommended :) read more

Wow is all I have!! (GOOD WOW) I found this place on accident really, while searching for a hairdresser. My regular nail person who I do love is out of town I think? Anyway, walked in for an acrylic gel fill and pedi. I found Cindy! I am blown away with how GREAT and fast she is! I mean I am really HAPPY!! So I must say I found a new spot. Cindy, this is Debbie from Saturday afternoon and I am coming back soon!! Thank you!! I take it ALL BACK! My gel polish fell off the next day! She forgot to put the "gel" on first underneath the polish! I should have said something but... I assumed she knew what she was doing. I was wrong!! This place disappoints. read more

Since moving to the Bay, I have been trying to find a salon that I felt comfortable and do a good job to keep my toes nice. I decided to call and ask how much for a regular pedicure and was told it was 20 dollars and I know other places are at 30 base point with no nail polish. Moving from LA, I felt it was strange to charge extra for regular nail polish when it always came with the service? But this place is heaven sent because I came with toe pains and my girl Cindy took care of it. She was so gentle and the massage was so lovely. It is a small shop so call ahead to make an appointment so no wait times. Will be coming back soon! read more

Love this place! Best pedis ever, not even joking. I come to them every 3-4 weeks for a pedi and the gel lasts forever! Haven't had a set that has chipped or cracked. Hands down the best shop for French tip pedicures. The French tip lines are always for crisp and precise. These ladies are phenomenal at what they do. 100% recommend them for a mani/pedi service. read more

Not the fanciest place, but hey, $45 for a gel manicure + regular pedicure. It took about an hour for both. There were two women working, one helped with my nails when she was finished with her client. I called earlier that day to get a quote and see their availability - would recommend doing so if you don't want to wait or have limited time since they don't have a ton of staff. Service was great, both were very nice and polite. Color selection is decent, but not the most expansive. She helped me try to pick a color since I was having trouble deciding. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a quick/cheap mani/pedi. read more

I dont want to give this review but I feel I have two. Cynthia has always done my nails great. The review is given because of there appointment process. Twice I hae come and they never noted my appointment. Today was worse. I called yesterday to reschedule today's time. I asked Julie to move back my appointment she said come at 12. I arrived and she had me for the wrong day!!! She told me to come back later bur I cocouldn't. They take your appointment but no consideration for your time. They allow walkins and do not pay attention to there calendar. read more

The ladies are very nice and good at building my acrylic nails. Price: When I first went in, I asked how much is it to do all the designs exactly like in the picture I showed them (also attached), they said 50 but I didnt want to take the risk since Ive never been at this place before. So I asked how about just two nails for accent, they said 5 more I asked them 3 times whats the base price since they said 5 more and no one answer me. My nails costed me 45 at the end. Nail: When we get to cutting the fake nails to the right size, I totally forget that after all the buffing the nails get much shorter and the lady didnt took that in consideration as well. So my nails came out pretty short and compare both hands the nail lengths dont match some are shorter than the other. Then when it comes to the design, she tried. I dont need you to try because I pay for this, you shouldve say NO, I wouldve go with just color. They closes at 7, I went in at about 6 had to wait for the other customer to finish. Maybe it was because she had to go overtime to finish my nails, she kept looking at the clock and saying something in Vietnamese (I think). Feel like she didnt take much thoughts into my design. read more

I'm going to say I really like these ladies. They are super sweet and work har don your nails. The place looks kind of dingy at first, but it's just old. And when you look closer, it's pretty clean. When they give you a pedi they bring out a bowl of hot water wrapped in a trash bag that they change for everyone. I like that. It hygienic! More so than the fancy massage chairs. Not a giant selection of colors, but you will definitely find oner that you want! The thing that weirded me out was that you could see the people getting waxed in the back... There was a curtain but.. you could see their legs sticking out on the table. Granted this lady was only getting her face waxed, but I could only imagine what would happen if someone was getting their Brazilian! Don't get me wrong this is a great place to go for a quick cheap, GOOD, mani pedi. Great job ladies. read more

Artistic Nail Care - One of their racks of polishes. They have a larger rack in the back with a large selection of gels and some crazier colors - Nail Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

This has to be the best place to get your cheap mani/pedi on. For under $25 you are in and out under an hour with a great mani/pedi. They are no fuss and muss. They can do designs on your finger nails. Trust me I have asked an they have delivered. Once I asked to give me a full crystal encrusted toe. No kidding my toe was sparkling (it was a phase and I am not ashamed to admit it!). The place is super small. Three chairs. So the line can be long on the days closer to the weekend or a holiday. They are clean. The place doesnt look it really (bc its older and small). But they sanitize their supplies just like they should. Only complaint is that they do not have a large shellack color selection. But I am sure eventually they will carry more. But really, if you dont like the mom and pop feel. This isnt the place for your and I am not sure what you expect when you walk in. So stop being so picky or go elsewhere. read more

Its a little hole in nail salon but they do an awesome job! I was in a time crunch and both of them were helping get my nails done. It was only $25 for a gel Mani! read more

Artistic Nail Care - They were super accommodating I needed to get them done in a hurry and both of them were helping each other! It was so nice! - Nail Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

Went in knowing I wanted some sort of classic french pedicure for Hawaii. Was convinced I wanted glitter, asked the pros, did not get glitter and they were right! I received one of the best reverse french pedis I have ever seen(see photos!). Fantastic chat with the ladies, they are professional and super sweet. Make sure to book a reservation as they are a teensy shop and always busy! read more

Although this place is small, these ladies know what they are doing. The woman I have been seeing here (wish I knew her name) has a gift. She pays such close attention to detail and makes sure your nails are absolutely perfect! I am beyond happy. My acrylics never get loose and look incredible. I am so lucky this place is three blocks from my apartment! read more

Artistic Nail Care - In love with these nails - Nail Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

Wonderful nail place. Very nice people, great service, prices can't be beat. $45 for regular pedi and gel mani. Unheard of!! I walked in and only waited a few minutes. Color selection may be a bit limited but do you really need 10 shades of the same pink?? Haha. Seriously considering commuting from soma to make this my regular nail salon! read more

So listen, if you get your nails done here, they will look GREAT! Seriously, they will look fabulous for a few days....until the gangrene sets in. Then your fingers will become swollen pustulent little vienna sausages. Eventually, they will fall off and when you wear cut-off gloves (a la Michael Jackson, hee-hee, shamon!), there won't be anything but nubs poking out of them. I may not be the smartest cookie around, but even I know that wiping cuticle trimmers with a kleenex doesn't kill 99.9% of the germs and bacteria found on them. Gross nasty. Someone get me some neosporin, STAT! read more

I had never had a manicure or a pedicure until I came here last week for my birthday with a friend who loves Artistic Nail Cure (and they love her). The place is not fancy and maybe even a little dingy, but everything is sanitary. The ladies did a fantastic job on every single nail. In grabbing my wallet, I dinged a finger, which I considered my fault, and they insisted on fixing it. My favorite thing was in doing my feet, one of the ladies who struggles a little bit with English, laughed as she said "You tickle." Yes, yes, I am afraid that the bottom of my feet are extremely ticklish. But I now understand the joy of pampering my toes and fingers. I am likely to come back here for a future treat read more

This is the only place I will go for a pedicure. I live in Oakland and this joint is in the inner sunset in S.F.. It is a small, dingy little place with only 4 chairs (and these are office chairs-not massage chairs.) At first glance, one may think this place is dirty--but no way!! The carpets are old, the walls need to be painted, and there only decor is plastic flowers stuck on the wall. But where it counts, they clean up. The instruments are disinfected properly and believe me-I checked after reading other yelp reviews. The best thing about Artistic Nail Care is what they do to your toes. They take their time (esp. with the massage-my favorite,) and they make your feet look fabulous. Now, I am not a normal girl-I kick the shit out of things everyday and live my life barefoot in a sweaty gym. My nail polish lasts!!! If your looking for a state of the art beautiful little place--don't go here! Artistic Nails has no frills--no t.v., no first rate magazines, and no massage chairs. But...if you are looking to get the best pedi that the bay area has to offer--this is the place for you...... read more

The pedi didn't last more than a week, which is about 4X less than normal. So the $23 "good deal" mani-pedi was really.. not.

cindy did a really good job on me and my friend's nails! she was very meticulous when it came to filing and buffing. you can tell that she has a lot of experience. not to mention, the price was very affordable for a nail salon in the sunset. 10/10 would come again! read more

I found this place 3 years ago when I lived around the corner. Jenny and her ladies do an AMAZING job on your nails and cuticles. I now live in Emeryville, and I still make the treck into the city to get a mani-pedi. I have tried a few places on this side of the bay, but none even come close. Every nail is perfect or the re-do it, period. I would also like to add that I work in Biotech, and pay attention to what and how nail salons clean around me. There are 3 things that I like about their cleanliness. 1. They use a barbasol soak (not a quick dip) of all tools before they've ever come near a single nail of mine. 2. Their foot bathes do not have the jets that are so hard to decontaminate. 3. They use disposable plastic bags as liners (changes after every person, for the foot bathes They are often busy here, and having to wait is common, but it is well worth it. read more

I just moved to the neighborhood and happened to walk in to this salon on a weekday morning. I will most definitely be back! This is a very small, no frills kind of place. The chairs you sit in are the office chairs with wheels-not the most comfortable, but the service here is what is great. The woman who did my mani/pedi was very nice and did a wonderful job. I was there for about an hour for pedicure and gel manicure. There is a large selection of gel colors to choose from as well. read more

I enjoy this place. Yes, it is almost literally a hole in the wall. Yes, you do have to play musical chairs with the other clients. But, you get the sweetest ladies to do you nails, they look fabulous and I have never had any kind of run in with infection or other problems here. Side bar: funny story. I was here once with my mom and I was bitching about my old roommate and I called the said roommate a, "Stupid, f*cking c*nt." To which my manicurist replied, "Oh, you in bad mood?" read more

Went here for the first time yesterday which was a Sunday. Was surprised to get seated right away to get my mani/pedi. They were doing a great job until another customer came in and then they started to rush on my pedi. IT still came out nice though. read more

I needed a quick and cheap mani/pedi - found the perfect spot! No frills hole in the wall shop - which if you're ok with, you'll love this place. It's tiny but the ladies in there are ridiculously nice and definitely know what they're doing! The listened to what I wanted and that's important to me - especially since I like my nails shaped and cut a certain way. I loved my mani/pedi experience and I love the way my nails look! There are comfortable rolling office chairs to sit in and they use a basin covered in plastic bag for your foot soak. The massage wasn't much, but hey, for the price, I'm not complaining! Will definitely be back for more. read more

i love this little spot. it's literally the size of a hallway, not fancy at all, but it doesn't matter. it's simple, affordable and jenny and the crew ALWAYS do a great job. i've been going here for almost 4 years and if i ever moved, i think i'd still go to jenny. can't beat a good cheap mani/pedi. and the only person i'll ever trust to wax me in sf! read more

The best bang for your buck if you have time to wait a bit, as they only have about 3-4 people that work there at a time. Jenny, the owner, is a very sweet woman however, when you walk in and ask how long the wait is, she will always say "5-10 minute" as she is trying to get as many customers as possible. But here's the thing... they still do a REALLY good job. No matter how busy it gets, the other two women that work there never seem to be rushing but are still efficient and take really good care of your nails. Although Jenny rushes at times...she damn well still does the job GREAT! You can't really complain in the end as you look at your perfectly shaped and polished nails. She seems to have perfected the art of the "express" manicure... so let her be! Although the place is kind of a hole in the wall and doesn't necessarily scream immaculate, if you look closely, you see they really do clean and sanitize their instruments well. Go here if you want a good, solid manicure and have some extra time to wait a bit (if you happen to go when no other customers are there, then you're REALLY lucky!!) A $23 mani/pedi is seriously a steal in this overpriced city. read more

I go here to wax my eyebrows because it's so cheap and the ladies are so nice! One of the ladies does a really good job on my brows. They're really good with time prioritization as well and make sure they tend to all their clients and walk-ins. 5 stars! read more

I was looking for a nail salon on yelp and after I saw the reviews I decided to came here today. The owner did my french polish and the other girl did the pedicure and I'm really happy with the results. Thanks and of course I'll be back :) I really recommend this place. The prices are ok read more

Artistic Nail Care - French polish..very nice! - Nail Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

I come here for a mani/pedi sometimes. The staff is made up of genuinely nice women and the prices are quite reasonable with the quality of my mani/pedi ranging from good to excellent. I have a friend who also gets her waxing done here. It is really inexpensive, but the place is small and it is the table behind the curtain setup, so your comfort level with this may depend on what you are having waxed. read more

Excellent mani pedi in a wonderful shop with professional people ! I bring my friends and we all enjoy!!

I LOVE this place!! I've been coming here a few years now! Thu is the most careful and capable nail technician in this city! She is creative and has a steady hand when doing my acrylic French mani's! She has a unique special way she does pink and white yet with white tips, pink powder n polish.. It always comes out AMAZING!!! read more

I discovered this business several years ago and my "usual" is a basic mani/pedi. I love to see the really fancy stuff they do on others, though: tiny designs on toenails, for instance. Occasionally I call for an appointment but usually I'm in the vicinity and decide to stop in. They are genuinely nice people and always do a wonderful job ... I've paid much more for work not nearly as well done. They're inexpensive: no frills here, but they're certainly sanitary and I've never heard of anyone getting an infection. read more

This place was great! I was lucky and was walking by on a Sunday when there were no other customers. I got had to get my previous gel manicure removed, and both ladies there helped take off my old gels to make the process go faster. The fresh gel manicure I got done that day was excellent. She was very precise and detailed. They have a good color selection too. I was in and out in under an hour, and the whole thing was only $25. A great deal for great service read more

I totally understand the whole squeamish about the disinfection processes at this hole in the wall, however the big draw is that they have the "snicker" and aren't afraid to use it. By the "snicker" I mean that wonderful little skin shaving apparatus that I love so well!! They also just got new linoleum so the toe-nail clippings aren't so embedded into the carpet. Class act ladies, I'm telling ya! read more

my go-to place for regular manis and pedis - around $25 for the combo, $10 for a mani. i've tried a lot of nail places in the neighborhood and keep coming back here. it's not fancy, they don't have spa chairs and it can get cramped when it's busy but who cares when they do a great job. i've never had any problems or infections. i never make an appointment. i just walk in and usually don't have to wait long - unless it's the weekend. read more

I love love this place. Monica and lilly are great. I've gone to so many places and am very perticular about the way my nails look. I expect a great job otherwise I'll do it myself. The price is not bad at all especially for the work these girls put out. I would recomend this place to anyone. All the girls who work here are very nice and do a terrific job. It's a small place but if your looking for a place to do good work. this is the place. They're usually busy so don't go if you're in a hurry. read more
