Wahhh it's pains me to write this review. I called to ask to see if they can repair a nail since I chipped mine, and I didn't ask if they can do ombré (so maybe this is my fault) I went in and they repaired my nail but it does not look like my original manicure at alll I wish they would have told me it's not something they can match. She was also very rough with my nails and cuticle it hurt a lot I'm surprised I didn't bleed actually. She also was upset I didn't tip.... If the work was good I definitely would have. Oh and my "repaired" nail only lasted one day before falling off read more

Amazing gel x extensions and gel pedicure. They were so great at making sure me and my two girlfriends got exactly what we wanted. French manicure with chrome looks amazing. And definitely get extra foot massage time. It's worth it! read more

Blend Salon - Nail Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

I stopped into this salon to get a pedicure on the first day of my vacation to the city. It's next door to another nail salon and for no reason at all I chose to walk into this one. I chose poorly! The paint job on the pedicure was very sloppy. Pretty much every toe ended up with polish outside of the actual nail. The reason for giving more than just 1 star is that the prices here are really good. For being in the Union Square area of the city I was expecting elevated pricing, but it was actually cheaper than what I pay in my hometown of Portland. The person who did my pedicure was also very nice and friendly. I was a walk-in customer so I'm thinking that maybe if you book an appointment you may have a better experience since they won't be as rushed to get you out the door. Or maybe they do better manicures than pedicures. Either way, if you're looking for a a cheap nail salon, check this place out. But know that the results will also likely look cheap. Just another "you get what you pay for" type of thing. read more

Blend Salon does the best shaped manicures [that last]! I posted in the past but I had to update my review because I'm still a very happy customer. I had transitioned to Gel X from the Dip manicure; I like both, but Gel X gives a more natural feel. read more

To start off with whoever the man is, which I'm guessing the manager or the owner makes you feel very uncomfortable. He kept looking at me strange and he kept hovering over my shoulders. He proceeded to break down the price of what I asked for and I told him it was fine not once not twice but three times. He proceeds to look at me. I asked to look over the colors and he just stands there as if I was going to do something. He made me feel like he didn't think I had the money to afford their services which actually sucked. I hate my nails do not go there. read more

great communication from the staff- i called in asking for a walk in/appointment and i got scheduled within the first 5 mins of the call! they continuously informed me of the correct location (547 sutter st) and they're actually located right next to another nail salon so make sure to check the name before you enter amazing service- got seated immediately for a pedicure and they have amazing range of colors to choose from, as i was seated for my pedicure, they got started on my nails for my manicure as well. they have different services from a basic pedi to a deluxe package. it was only 10$extra for the deluxe and a $15 extra for the gel manicure- they offer acrylics and gel x! i got gel x this time and i was so pleased with the results. will definitely come back read more

Nice place. Nice people, they speak English well if you care about that. They take their time and are skilled at doing designs. I've gotten dip here previously but today I got gel. It cost me $80 today (plus tip) for gel mani with design plus regular pedi. They have some extra luxury options for the pedi but even the regular one comes with hot stone, which is nice. They skipped the hot stone for me today since I had a sunburn and did a cooling mask instead, I appreciated the attention to detail and accommodation. They also do a punch card so if you get 10 services you get one free. If you get a manipedi that is 2 services for punch card, so you can build up rewards quickly. Covid wise, all wore masks, they sterilize their equipment, and they have manicure chairs with the plastic walls available. For pedicures, they have massage chairs, which I love. They use an electronic file to remove your old gel paint (along with acetone soak), which I am not used to... but I didn't ask them to stop and they were careful about not scraping off too much. read more

Found this nail salon on yelp. Quick and easy response! Mini did a great job I love my nails

Tiff here. I have been going to Blend for nearly two years and they NEVER disappoint! Hanna killed my nail design today but Kevin and Mimi, the owners, are my normal nail techs. They are all incredibly patient and open to try something even if it's new for them. They take the time to study the (million) inspo pics to really nail (see what I did there) the design. All the techs are nice and professional. The place is clean and updated. They recently did some updates even though the previous massage chairs, foot spas, tables, etc were in excellent condition. Be prepared to be asked if you want water or tea every few minutes by everyone lol! Jk- ish! They really want to make sure you are enjoying your experience which I more than appreciate. If you are reading this, don't walk, RUN, to Blend Salon for all your nail, waxing, massage needs! Peace and love. read more

Got me in as a walk in. Were super nice and accommodating. I went in wanting a fill on my acrylic nails and she proceeded to take off nails and it was too late to do anything about it. She was giving me "gel x" nails which she was consistent they were much better and last longer. I did not want them I wanted acrylic nails because I knew these wouldn't last. Of course within 2 days two were broke off another loose and then next day one split right down the center. I was so upset I had wasted $80 which is expensive compared to what I normally pay and I am not local so had to rip the remaining ones off and go get a whole new set somewhere else. I'm just mad she didn't listen to what I wanted. I would never recommend getting gel x nails ever they don't last! Other than that they did look great the two days while I had them so she did a good job and was very nice during service. read more

I got one of the best manicures and definitely THE best hand massage by May at Blend salon today. The place is not at all what you'd consider fancy, but the service is top notch, and May's work is impressive. She took her time to make sure that my nails look perfect, and most importantly (at least for me), the cuticles cleaned up with no hang nails. That's a major pet peeve of mine. To top it off, they are not expensive, a set of gel manicure costs $35. It's located conveniently close to my office in Union Square, can't wait to go back for a pedicure next week! read more

I have been coming to blend nails for a year and absolutely love them so much. Staff is so friendly and I can just show a Pinterest picture to Mimi and she does amazing and replicates the picture. I love going there to get gel x nails. Couldn't be more happy with my nails done by Mimi. read more

Blend Salon - Best of the 90's - Nail Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

The only reason I am giving it 3 stars is because the employees were very nice; however, my dip nails did not even last 1 week. My friend's polish on her toes started chipping after a few days as well. I had to go to another nail salon after only 4 days because the SNS dip chipped and my real nail broke! In addition, by definition a "gratuity" is something given voluntarily or beyond obligation for some service, so I do not really appreciate when people ask for a "tip". Granted, I always leave gratuity, but it shouldn't be something that I feel I am "forced to do". I leave a gratuity because I appreciate the services being offered, but there are times when the services provided do not warrant gratuity. It comes off as "desperate" when one says, "I did a good job...tip"! I did leave them a tip, but for future references...allow your clients to offer before you request it. read more

I called and made an appointment for 3:30pm and was greeted so politely and was seated right away. I meet the owner Kevin who was hospitable and offered me water and tea. My nail tech was such a trooper, as I had originally walked in with acrylic nails that needed a desperate fill, but I wanted to change it up and go with the New Gel X. Ivy (or Avy) was so good and even opened my water bottle for me, she did such a great job on my nails and made sure that all of the old acrylic was taken off properly for my new nails. I really liked how they also texted me before hand to make sure I didn't get confused as there is another salon right next door. I also felt for taking off my old set and giving me a whole new Gel X set plus design for $95 wasn't bad at all, especially being in the city. I'm so glad I found my new salon, especially with my job being so close by. I will definitely be back for my St. Patrick day nails read more

Beware! I went in for a gel pedicure and acrylic full set. Within 3 hours of the service, 9 out of 10 nails fell off entirely. I think having 3 separate people work on my acrylic set was the first red flag. They don't consider refunds and are hostile. This was my first time visiting this nail shop during my work trip in SF. The employees nor owner cared that these nails are for my engagement. Super disappointing. Do not recommend. read more

I usually go here but yesterday when I did, this older man did my acrylics, didn't know if he worked here or was lounging around, I wanted an ombré effect i showed them a picture and everything and the guy said he knows how to do it, but i guess not. Then as I watched him messed up on my thumb and then try to cover it with another design and said he wouldn't charge me?? So i told him to put it on the other thumb to even it out and then proceed to say i have to pay for that design ?? How are you going to say that when YOU messed up after i told you to fix it. The pedicure was nice and relaxing but my acrylics are not I'll ask for Kevin next time. read more

The absolute WORST nails I've ever had. They took forever, the product was super drippy. The lady had to continue to put layers that made the mail gloppy even after filing. The nails are uneven & super thick, not like the slender square look I wanted. Such a shame because I wanted my nails to look extra good for my friend's wedding as I will be having henna painted the same evening. Do not bother going whatsoever !! Keep walking! read more

I've been searching for a good nail technician in SF for dipping powder and coffin shaped nails... for some reason it's been challenging finding that right person. Read all these reviews about how good Kevin is at his craft and wow, so impressed! I called on Friday for a late morning appointment and he was able to accommodate me right away. Kevin listened to me and did his magic. He took his time and constantly checked to make sure I was happy with the shape of my nails. I was warmly greeted by the staff and was offered tea/water upon arrival. Located right around union square with TONS of dipping powder colors. Fairly priced and friendly . I finally found my go to place. Thank you, Kevin!! read more

I am embarrassed to say I have a lot of calluses, but Onah spent a lot of time with patience and scraped them down. Mimic did my finger nails at the same time and they turned out great. I would highly recommend this salon. read more
