Mela is very accommodating with time. Quality of nails are immaculate. She does sculpted nails and I've loved every set she has done. I never really know what I want to do with design, but somehow she always makes something out of nothing. I really enjoy her kindness & friendship that she gives. It's part of the reason why I love giving her a fat tip because she's the best therapist when I want to give a rundown on my life. The entire vibe of the studio is very bright & feminine. She is literally the mela of all trades. She does waxing, pedicures, nails, braids, brows. I love going here! read more

Welp Yelp, I think I found my new nail tech! Situated in the back of Salon 57 sits the fab, fly and fierce Mela, nail guru extraordinaire and ever-opulent dollface. I had the pleasure of getting a gel mani from her last night and was impressed by her commitment to my satisfaction. At every step of the process (filing, shaping, buffing, polishing, massaging, etc.) she checked in with me to ensure I was happy: "Is that okay? Too much pressure? Do you like the shape? Too oval? Too square?" It was a far departure from the nail shop ladies I'm used to, who rough up my hands like this is a fight behind the gym after school and ignore the simple requests of paying customers with little regard. Mela demonstrates her care with every step of the experience and lets her clients know how valued and respected they are! Not to mention, she the conversation is good and the seats are damn comfy. Stop by soon! read more

KsBeaute - My nails - Nail Technicians Near Me

I purchased two living social deals because the price was too good of a deal to pass up ($13 ea.) for a gel mani. I have to say I absolutely love my nails. She noticed right away that I like my nails shaped square. And she did use care in trimming my cuticles as well as my nails. Afterward my nails were done, she used a scrub & matching lotion that had my hands feeling so soft. Mela is very friendly & welcoming. I definitely enjoyed getting my nails done here as opposed to the nail shops that I'm used to. I plan on coming here even after I have used my last living social voucher. read more

I found Mela through living social. I bought a voucher for a gel manicure. I arrived for my appointment and she was ready for me. She asked me to pick a color.

I walked out of Mela's little shop a happy girl. It's not often that you actually feel chilled out coming out of a nail shop. Usually they are more like beehives than spas. Not so with Mela's little shop. There are only two stations and currently she is the only nail tech on duty -- making it a quiet refuge from the hub-bub of every day life. Mela is friendly and professional. She did a very thorough job and the nails still look good a week later. Just shoot her a text and make an appointment - you will be glad you did. read more

Love it! Mela's is sweet and very careful with her work. She's serious about making your nails look good the way you want them to be.

Came in today to redeem my living social deal and I loved my nails! Mela was very professional and punctual. She had a wide selection of shellac colors. Only downside was that she didn't have colors on fake nails to be able to see how it would look on my fingers. Living social deal was for $13 and she usually charges $28, well worth it for the great service and the finale hand scrub massage. I will return. read more

Mela really is awesome! I've been coming here for a while now. Actually I'm here right now. As I'm writing my feet are soaking. Mela is extremely accommodating. The nails are always perfect. I've been to many many others in the sf Bay Area and she really is the best. My gel nails never take longer than 45 mins and the best part is that she never interrupts your session with calls and texts. This is something that I find downright rude and irritating that so many salons do. I know I can leave her a text and she'll get back to me. I highly recommend Mela. read more

Thanks Mela! read more
