    I love coming to Boniva! Lisa is so amazing and the entire staff is really welcoming. The salon is so cozy and love that they always offer tea. I've been so impressed with every manicure I've had and how long they last. So happy to find my regular place.

    I love Boniva Nail Salon! They have great attention to detail. The polish always lasts 2+ weeks for me. Staff are very kind. Easy to make an appointment by phone. Upon arrival, they offer you tea/water and a wrapped madeleine.

    Lisa did a beautiful job on my gel extensions! Really careful attention to detail, one of the best manicures I have ever had!

    I read all of the good reviews and had to check it out for myself! I made an appointment the day before. The ladies were very nice, offered me water or hot tea, and a madeleine. My manicure and pedicure were well done. They brought my dry nails back to life. They even gave me real flip flops to wear after the appointment, not those flimsy paper flip flops.

    Boniva is by far the best nail salon in SF and great location in the marina/cow hollow! I rarely post reviews but it's so important they get the credit they deserve. They never rush as they take pride in their work and care about their customers. They take the time to make sure you get the color you like and never make me feel like it's a burden if I want to change a color I've picked. It's a calm and relaxing place to be. They also remember their customers which feels really nice. Definitely go to Boniva!

    I went here for a change because was feeling a gel x set this time! They are super nice, efficient, give you tea or water and also you can tell that they have a lot of regulars who love this salon. Only thing that's different than other nail salons is they don't have the regular "desks" but it was totally fine and my nails came out wonderful! The color I picked was super light and she helped with another coat to make it less sheer! Also, I got my eyebrows done and it was super quick, easy and I love the way they look. Will definitely be back again for gel x :)

    Boniva nail spa is the best place to get your nails done in the city. I've only come for a gel manicure, but my gosh I was shocked by how good they are! I've had Anna and Uni and they're both so funny and sweet. I've never had so many compliments about just a simple manicure!! They are so precise and my nails come out perfect every time. They literally look like a Russian manicure! I highly recommend Boniva! It's a bit expensive but so worth it!

    Lovely!! Gel x application was great, super kind ladies and very very quick!! The chairs are also super comfy

    Complimentary tea & Madeline
    Erica Y.

    The ladies here were really thorough and detailed with my pedicure! They did an amazing job, and they weren't pushy, and were very warm and welcoming! They even offered us complimentary tea and then gave it to us with a Madeline. I recommend making an appointment if possible just so they can know to expect you. I called morning of, and got an appointment and when I arrived they already had all the stations set up for us, and knew that me and my friend had come for our 1pm pedicure appointment. Definitely will be coming back!

    Uni did an amazing job with my gel x! Very quick but also detailed and made sure it looked good. Very happy with the service and reasonable prices!

    First time here and I'm very impressed. Very detailed and thorough. Will be coming back

    I'm just getting started but so far they immediately greeted us with a friendly and welcoming demeanor. Upon being sat (3 of us) they offered us hot tea! How perfect considering we had just eaten and walked a few blocks in the brisk SF weather. Great experience. When I am in SF I will come back. Highly recommended!

    Truly perfect nails. Every single time! Exactly what I wanted, thin almond with multiple colors…read moreFrench. They last a full 4 weeks, no chipping! Highly recommend.

    I wish I didn't have to post this review after coming to this nail salon a few times already, but…read morethis was by far the worst pedicure I have EVER gotten. When I sat down in the chair, I specifically told the person doing my nails that I had not gotten a pedicure in awhile (6 months actually) since the last time I got one, they cut the sides of my toenails and I got such bad ingrowns and my nails literally split from how bad they were. I had to grow them out for that long and had not touched them so my right toenail was a little uneven from the split. She said Ok and said she would be careful. She asked if she could cut just the top of the nail to make it even and square. I said yes, and then repeated that I did NOT want anything on the sides of my toes touched. Despite MULTIPLE times telling her that, she took it upon herself to "clean up" the sides of my big toenails by cutting them at a 45° angle.... the EXACT thing that the previous salon did that absolutely destroyed my nails. When I realized, I asked her, and she tried to defend herself while lying multiple times. She had the audacity to say 1. My nails were already like that, then changed her story to 2. That she was "cutting away" the excess nail polish she had put on away". And then again changed her story to 3. That she actually didn't cut them at all and didn't know what I was talking about. I then said, no you absolutely cut them, why would you cut the inside of the nail when I SPECIFICALLY said at least 2-3 times not to? She replied with, well they're already cut, I can't do anything now. AND THEN TRIED TO CUT THE SIDES AGAIN MORE SAYING SHE WAS TRYING TO FIX IT. I literally had to push her hand away and say "absolutely not, please stop touching my nail." When I walked in, I asked for 2 coats funny bunny, 1 coat bubble bath. Well, 7 coats later and her saying bubble bath wouldn't look very good. I had to accept that my nails were just not going to look acceptable at al. You can actually still see the brush strokes of the polish... AFTER 7 COATS!! It was absolutely absurd how they could not achieve a simple combination that is by far the most popular nail polish combo right now. After she said she was done, I paid, and I couldn't get out of there fast enough. I was on the bridge of tears knowing how long it had taken me to recover from my previous nail fiasco and how long it was going to take to recover from this. I am getting married in August and honestly so sad that my nails might still be affected by this. When I got home, I burst into tears and couldn't believe the state of my nails. After more inspection, I realized she DIDN'T EVEN PAINT MY RIGHT PINKY TOE!!!! I am going to a wedding abroad on Wednesday, so as you can imagine, I was pissed. I had to file down some of my other nails because they were shaped so badly. My big toes don't even look the same shape. I walked back into the store before a dinner reservation and asked for a refund. She asked me to take off my shoes so she could inspect my toes. I told her what had happened and that my pinky toe wasn't even painted. She said she couldn't offer me a refund, just a gift certificate since the service was completed. I responded with... well not really cause my toe was not painted and she specifically did something I asked her not to do. I didn't even mention how bad the nail polish application was since I thought it was pretty fricken apparent and had an uber waiting. I ended up taking the gift certificate since I was in a hurry, and they said I could come back to get them redone and there would be a different person there to do them. I don't know why they would think I would EVER go back there again, but I will be filing a dispute with my CC company. So sad since I had been here multiple times before and live down the street. Would NOT recommend.

It ended up getting kind of busy while I was there and I feel like the technician working on my manicure was rushing a little, but I'm happy with how my nails turned out. She mixed a couple of shades together to make something natural and pink for me, and I love how the color turned out. This is not the place for you if you're particular about cleanliness and ambiance. It's not a spa-like experience, and the space is quite small so if you're getting your hands done you are somewhat close to the feet of the people getting pedicures done. I didn't really mind this until another customer asked for callous removal, but there's nothing they can really do about it. I think the price is really reasonable (especially for the area). I didn't have anything on my nails and got a full set of gel x for $65 (before tip). I asked about chrome and was told it is $15 extra, but I decided not to get it on this mani. All in all, I think this is a great place to get your nails done if you care more about the results than the process.

It is a small salon, but chairs are comfortable and there were plenty of staff. My technician did a great job with my nails, the polish looks great! I wish they would have spent a little more time on the prep and massage portion, but overall it was a good experience. My friend did gel and they did a job prepping her nails and the gel turned out good. A nice salon in the heart of the marina!
