Unfortunately just one star for the acrylic, as the technician is just not skilled at this service. Disappointing as the whole set had to removed and it obviously damaged my nails, not to mention that it didn't last even 2 weeks as it should, with gaps between the nails and tips left on day 1. See pic ... :( read more

Germaine Nail - Always perfect experience, thanks a lot - Nail Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

Germaine is the most amazing manicurist/pedicurist I've met so far in SF and Bay Area! She is sooo good, that you do have to make an appointment few weeks in advance, but hey- she is worth waiting!!! Most of her clientele are russian ladies, and believe me - I know how picky are ladies from that part of the world! They've been coming to her for ages, bringing there their kids and grand kids! Thank u Germaine! read more

great customer service. attention to detail. sometimes its difficult to find parking in this area but other than that, this salon is great. i always get my waxing and manicures done here. a great cozy place to relax while getting pampered! she rarely take any walk-ins so make sure you call to schedule a date with her. Over 60 gel polish to select from! read more

Amazing place! The first place in the city that actually made me feel at home. What a welcoming and warm nail salon. Germaine is awesome and the best thing...she actually scrubs your feet..not like these other nail salons that touch your feet for like 5 seconds and say I'm done. Small but quaint welcoming space. PS Cash only read more

Oh, Germaine. This woman is SO wonderful. I went to her for a manicure/pedicure for the first time this month, and she did such a great job. Best mani/pedi, ever. She took the time to make sure that my fingernails and toenails were perfect by the time she was done. AND, she's hilarious and overall really sweet. No wonder you have to book appointments at least one week in advance. *cash only! I highly recommend her. read more

I know Germaine for many many years and she never disappointed me . Not only that her manicure and pedicures are very thorough and perfectly done but her personal touch is incredible! The place is very clean she in never behind on her appointments and of course her orchids are Like any good botanical garden . Even though I love far away I keep coming back . read more

My mother told me about Germaine and so I thought I'd give her a try after bad experiences with nail salons. I knew to trust my mother as she is the pickiest when it comes to getting her nails done. Germaine is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING when it comes to nails. She takes her time with you and actually cleans your cuticles and gives your nails a fresh new look, something I've never had done before. She is the best manicurist in the SF Bay Area that I've ever been to and I've been to many. She has doing nails for a long time and doesn't take shortcuts. Her prices are great for the professional work that she does and you are greeted by her sweet doggy Bebe. It's just her in the salon so it's nice and quiet so you can relax and enjoy getting the best manicure ever. Along with the great work she does she is so sweet and pleasant to talk to and be around. You have to make an appointment, but that's because she is so good at what she does that she can get booked up, but that shouldn't stop you from calling as many times she will have a slot open in her schedule. GIVE her a call, you will not be disappointed. read more

I've been going to Germaine for about 25 years now and I can honestly say her work is the bomb. I've been getting both manicures (regular and gel) and pedicures and she's delivered consistently excellent results Germaine is the best around! Her mani's are perfect and I get compliments wherever I go. I would not hesitate to recommend Germaine's services to anyone who wants quality results. read more

This is the place were I get my nails done for the past 5 years. Germaine is great, my nails always look amazing, but she is very booked. You actually have to book your appointments as soon as she buys the book for the year (yes, you have to fill it out for the whole year), otherwise you won't be able to get your appointments. Not only does Germaine do a great job with my nails, she also has a great personality and is a good listener. read more

I was super impressed with my nails after wards -- she was super attentive to detail and really took the time to redo nails that didn't come out quite perfect -- but my brows were pretty awful. If i ever wanted to get a manicure without getting my brows done I would go back, but thats rarely the case. read more

I have been coming to Germaine since I was a toddler accompanying my mom, and even 20 years later, she is still so wonderful, with great attention to detail, fair prices, and a manicure and pedicure that lasts. She has a fantastic array of colors in both gel and regular, and is always getting new stuff. Highly recommend!!!! read more

If you are looking for a quality nail salon then Germaine is the right person. I have been going there for many years now (since '98:) - yes I am not technologically challenged:) She is very meticulous, accurate and most of all she cares how she does her job and very honest. Some people may say that it takes long time for her to do maniqure and pedi because she works alone, but it worth every single penny spent and every minute. She is friendly and accommodating. She is very careful at applying nail polish and makes final result impeccable. I enjoy going there because it is quiet and enjoyable atmosphere. I tried other places (when she was out of town) I don't like when I am being worked on by two different people. One is working on manicure and the other one is doing pedi:( and I felt like I am sitting in a weird and uncomfortable position where I have to accommodate them rather than I came there to rest and enjoy, plus always they are trying to make it fast. I realize it is a time saver but if you are looking for a quality set a side sometime. After all you come there to get pampered. read more

Germaine is high skilled professional and very friendly person. My wife and I have been going to her salon for the past 10 years. Her quality of services with very reasonable and compatible cost are beyond the ordinary. She is the best in town. Definitely will recommend her place to all new customers to try. You will be more than happy when you receive her services. read more

"I don't have time." was the greeting. customers out ze door immediately. thanks. but no thanks.

Germaine is the only person I trust to have my nails done. She's attentive, and professional, without trying to sell me on other services since I'm not regular. She take great care to make sure the nails are done to your satisfaction and look great. I told her my objective was to help my real nails grow out since I had bitten them. I asked to keep the acrylics short so they looked natural and was very pleased. I highly recommend her for her nail services, but be aware she is booked in far in advance. read more
