I started as a customer about 9 months ago. Up until recently, the service was good. Over time, I…read morewas served by several different staff members, some of whom did high-quality work. I had two consecutive visits with a manicurist named Linda. The first time she did my nails, the quality of the work left a lot to be desired; the gel work looked damaged only after 3 days on work that should normally hold up for one and a half to two weeks. I mentioned it to Linda, who told me I should have come back. On my recent visit, there was quite a bit of rough treatment from this manicurist, from not showing the care and respect I have received from others in the shop to scraping my nails and digging into my cuticles excessively hard. There was more, but I will stop here. Sadly, I will not be returning to that nail shop.

Sunset Nails - A Month-Long Nail Survival Story…read more They're so good that you don't even have to come back as often - assuming you don't do a lot of sports! I came to Sunset Nails about a month ago, and somehow my nails lasted me the entire month. That's some seriously impressive staying power. Service was eggsellent! The vibes were fantastic, and overall, I had a great experience. If you're looking for nails that can actually survive the test of time, I highly recommend giving them a try. Highly recommend, with my utmost respectful regards!

This place seems to have turned around 100% since the new owner took over according to past…read morereviews. The new owner Kang was incredibly affable and made conversation with us, plus they have loyalty cards so if you go 10 times, you get a free manicure. APPOINTMENTS ARE HIGHLY SUGGESTED. Because they are so detail-oriented and have 1:1 customer service, you may wait over an hour if you're a walk-in, like the lady who was in the shop while my friend and I were getting our nails done. Also, budget time to get your nails done. My friend and I were at the salon for 3.5 hours because there was only one employee (Y) doing our nails. She did my pedi and both me and my friends' manis. This wasn't a problem and the vibe of the salon is super quiet and nice, and we didn't have anything else to do. But I can see this being a problem to somebody who has other things to do. This was the best manicure I've ever had. Y did an amazing job and truly cared about giving me what I asked for. Kang also gave me a really nice foot and calf massage that was included. Plus, the pricing was really not bad. $180 for a pedicure (with chrome), builder gel with 3D accents and French tip, this would all be $250 at another salon for worse quality. I felt like I got professional nail tech detail and quality for half the price. I will definitely be going back.

Ever since I moved to the States, I have always been looking for a great beauty place for facial…read moretreatment, as I was so used to getting at least one every month in Asia. I was looking all over Yelp and other social media, and I finally discovered one on Little Red Book that not only offers facial treatment, but also manicure. (If you don't know Little Red Book, it's basically like Instagram but in Chinese). I asked the owner to send me their service menu for both facial treatment and manicure, pricing is reasonable to me as I have seen others who charge more but can't do the job right. Owner responded quickly and was able to set up my appointment for the next day, which was perfect for my schedule. It's funny that I arrived when the power on the whole block was out, but she adjusted quickly and brought me into one of the rooms with great nature lights to work on my nails first. She is not the typical nail salon that you get your nails done and the staff moves on to the next customer right away type of style. She tries to build that relationship with you while providing you great service. Anyway, I showed her a photo of what I was looking for and that was exactly what she gave me. For my facial treatment, honestly I feel like we are trying things out my face as I'm still trying to figure out why the areas around my lips have been turning cakey towards the end of every day. Tbh it's still happening after the treatment, but I'm willing to return and try another treatment with her to see if it would get better because she really spend time to do every step that was included in the treatment and it was just so detailed throughout the process. There are places out there who charge similar prices but skip so many steps and no improvement on the face at all. Overall, I highly suggest this place!

UPDATING MY REVIEW I…read morenow get my lashes down at T's on top of my biweekly pedi. I have never had lashes as good as these. I'm not even exaggerating, I'm heavily contemplating getting the exact set I've been getting done for my wedding. The perfect wispy set that isn't too full, and makes my eyes actually look narrow. I've had so many times where a lash artist had said it would be wispy and cat eye and then I get the thick fuzzy caterpillar lashes and they're open eye and make my already big eyes look scary af. So now I'm just getting pretty two different ways at T's my pedi and lashes on point. I keep recommending T's to everyone and they're so spooked by the location being in San Francisco. Their loss, that means I can always keep my appointment date and time

I really wanted to love this place, but I'm gonna have to go home and finish it. My mistake was not looking before I left. Pros: It was clean inside and door open for good ventilation. Both techs were very gentle and I had no issues with them hurting/stabbing etc. Foot massage was wonderful. Downsides: This was the first mani I've had that used no soak, which left powdered nail filing debris under my nails and made the lotion feel like sand. Pedi was good considering I was overdue for one, but left obvious areas of dry skin that could've been better cleaned and looked more professional-see pics (immediately after). Overall average but they need to up their game. Service otherwise was great/friendly.

The nail sets can last for 4-5 weeks and I have never had a nail chip, break or peel. My nails are the healthiest they have ever been and I love love love getting my nails done here. The service is incredible and the technicians are so kind as well as talented! Lily usually does my nails and she is so lovely to work with. Vincy owns the salon and does incredible work herself. These women are artists, truly! I've brought my friends, family, and boyfriend here and I'll continue to do so as long as I live in this city (which will be a long time). If you're looking for a consistent and cozy nail spot - this is it.

I wanted to give this business multiple chances because my first visit was good. Unfortunately, my…read morelater experiences were disappointing. On one visit, I expressed concern that the builder gel color did not match my skin tone. I was told it would look good despite my concerns, but I was unhappy with the final result. Even so, I tipped 20%. More recently, I had a confirmed appointment, arrived on time, and no nail technician showed up. My calls and messages initially went unanswered. The business eventually apologized and refunded my deposit. They also offered a discount on a future visit, but when I recently tried to schedule another appointment, my messages were read and not answered. The inconsistent communication and reliability issues make it difficult for me to recommend booking appointments here.
