    French tip Gel-X nails with deep round French tip style
    Christine B.

    Had such a relaxing, wonderful experience at Mac Nail Spa! Booking through their website was quick and easy, and they also accept walk-ins (according to their sign outside). I got a Gel-X manicure with a French tip add-on and a gel pedicure, and both turned out beautifully. The service was exceptional! Each technician was gentle, detail-oriented, and checked in throughout to make sure I was happy with how everything looked. They were very open to feedback and happy to make adjustments. I left loving my nails and will definitely be back!

    Such amazing staff! My nails look so clean and fresh, didn't take long at all!! Super nice inside, and they have refreshments too!

    Lumpy nails
    Tammy T.

    I was in so much pain from the endless drilling they did here and they hacked at my cuticles so much it started tearing. I went in for a gel extension fill and she spent almost an hour buffing away the apex with a soiled drill bit. She used way too much pressure and too large of a drill bit so it kept grazing my cuticles. When it came to the actual builder gel part, she was so impatient that there was no actual artistry behind it, and she painted it on so clumpy and lumpy that I was like, what is the point of going to a professional. I'm so disappointed because I really wanted to like the place. The interior is cute at first but then you see all the dirty polishes and how they reuse soiled tools and you never want to go back

    Queenie and Shang are awesome! I'm really happy with how my nails turned out and I will be coming back again!

    My nails after about 2 weeks

    I cannot say enough good things about this nail salon hands down the best work I've ever had done! I got Gel-X nails and asked for extra short, which no one has ever been able to do for me until now. They nailed it (pun intended)! The staff was incredibly sweet and accommodating, even fitting me in for a same-day appointment. When I arrived, the shop was small and the team was quiet, but you could tell they were focused and hardworking! I totally respect that hustle. I've been living in California for five years, and this is by far the best salon I've found. Yes, parking can be a little tricky, but honestly? 100% worth it. If you've been searching for precision, professionalism, and seriously gorgeous nails, this is your spot.

    Cat eye gel x with leopard accent design

    I made an appointment for Saturday afternoon - super quiet and peaceful! Sam worked magic on my sad-state hands ! I got gel-x cat eye nails with some leopard print designs based on a video I saw on instagram - she did an AMAZING job, even working around a fresh (accidental) dog bite/snag on one of my nails. She was so precise and careful! Thank you so much - I'm vacation ready now ! The pics don't do it justice - I am obsessed.

    Mac Nail Spa saved me! I went to another salon for white nails and they were soooo messy. I ended up calling Mac and they were able to take me in last minute and did such a beautiful job. They are my new go to nail place!

    Chrome dip mani
    Ysa L.

    The staff was nice, but I left disappointed. I paid $100 to have brittle nails and to basically look like a need a fill ‍ 2 stars tho cause they were nice and they offer free beverages (coffee, tea, mango juice etc). I called and went in same day for a dip manicure with chrome. It was my first time trying this salon. My nails chipped and broke within 10 days... which is unusual bc my dip manicures usually last 5-6 weeks at other salons. My nails feel brittle, and the shape was bulky and uneven--apex was so thick and far from my cuticle that it looked like I already needed a fill. The nail tech used a towel covered in old nail dust and clippings, and even massaged lotion on me at the end with the same dirty gloves. I appreciate the friendliness and free dri, but I wouldn't return unless I had no other option. Pics are from today, 10 days after getting a dip manicure here

    Love my nails. Went for gel-x with almond and I showed them an inspo photo and it turned out pretty much the same as the photo I showed them. Quick and great service. The salon was super nice/clean. Thank you!

    Gel manicure

    This was my first time going to this salon. I am in the works of trying to find a salon closer to home and this was a close runner up. The inside is very clean and all the staff were lovely. My nail tech was Stephanie and she paid so much attention to detail. Why this is 4/5 stars for me: I went in with gel on and only needed a regular gel mani and was there for an hour and a half. If you have that kind of time, then this is a good place!

    First time @Mac Nail Salon. I love it, thank you

    First time @Mac Nail Salon. They were very kind & considerate. I love it, thank you so much!

    I love this spot :) I've been coming for over 2 years and they are always so kind and pay attention to detail.

    Best nail service I've gotten! The technicians pay so much attention to detail and I've never felt more comfortable getting my nails done

    Victoria's is still a solid five stars for hair removal!…read more Since my first review over a decade ago, a few things have changed - the studio moved (just a few blocks east, with better parking in my opinion), I've moved (a few times!), I tried laser hair removal (meh), and Dao has upgraded her electrolysis machine (making her process even faster). Through all the changes, my rating and loyalty remains. I can even walk across the street from where I currently live to get waxed instead of driving across the Bay Bridge and halfway across the city to get to Victoria's, but I still prefer Dao! Dao's efficiency, excellent work, affordable prices, and sweet, chatty demeanor keep me coming back. Although my first Brazilian electrolysis session was over 7 years ago, I have only booked/been able to tolerate 30 minute sessions, 1-3x per year. Certain areas of the body have more stubborn hair that requires more sessions, and Dao is very upfront about all of this. A few weeks after each session I notice less and less hair regrowing; there are certain areas where hair has never come back, and the areas that she continues to work on gets smaller and smaller. I look forward to my next session with Dao and I'm thinking I will ask her health/beauty tips, because she doesn't look a day older than the first day I met her!

    5 stars hands down for both the quality of the waxing services and the amazing experience this team…read moreprovides. I've always been super scared about getting a Brazilian despite my relatively high pain tolerance. I decided to bite the bullet by booking with Erin after a long day at work. In all honesty, she made the experience so much easier and relaxing even despite the pain and discomfort that comes from these waxes specifically. Upon walking in, she instantly greeted me and was super welcoming. I used the bathroom before my wax to calm my nerves and walked into such a pretty and pink glittery bathroom! Not gonna lie, it was a pretty good distraction lol. Like any person would, I was pretty nervous but I decided to go for it because of the results. It was so worth it. It does hurt, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be. Your first wax always hurts the most because obviously you don't know what to expect, but it does get better after the first strip. I have to say though, what really helped ease my nerves was how chill the whole environment was. The staff makes every client feel welcome, and in my case Erin was super friendly, thorough, and overall such a vibe. It made the entire experience feel a lot less intimidating. They also have complimentary snacks and drinks and initially I passed on them because of how nervous I was, but after my session, best believe I ran to the snack station. As an SF native, I am proud to say that I will be returning to reWAXation as a regular! I am so glad I found this gem. Thank you to Erin and the team for making this experience so much less daunting and a bit more fun!

    I got baited into this place by their Instagram ads for the new client special $30 brazilian all…read moreover my feed. I said, hey why not? Might as well give them a try. I booked on their website and did not pick a specific esthie but just said "anyone." Mostly everything is done online (forms). For the new client special you have to upload a picture of your photo ID into their system. I wasn't too thrilled about this as I don't like the thought of my ID being in their database. Cyber related incidents are on the rise now a days. I had my sensitive info stolen from my old CPA and fraudulent tax returns filed under my SSN before so no type of business is safe. A day before my appointment I got a text from one of their workers basically telling me that I hadn't confirmed my appointment and to do it before EOD otherwise my appointment would be cancelled. The text was sent with a bad tone. Kind of like, "you better do this or else" type of tone. I frequent several establishments that are appointment based and only one other place has told me if I didn't confirm the day before that my appointment would be cancelled but they warned me of this policy ahead of time so I already had a heads up. On the day of the appointment I got another text from someone there reminding me to do my forms before coming in. They really love reminding people through text over here. They also send you a text about 15 mins prior to your appointment to check in and then another text with the door code to let yourself in to the waiting room. They have drinks and snacks there for you while you wait which is a nice touch. Artrecia was my esthie and from the moment she called me back she had a very off putting attitude. I don't know if she was just having a bad day but it for sure seemed like she hated her job. Conversation with her during the service was minimal. I felt like I was doing all the talking and just getting short answers from her. It really was the opposite of what some people said about her personality in other reviews on here. Artrecia waxed me pretty quick which doesn't necessarily mean that she did a good job. I was actually expecting that she did a mid job based on her attitude alone and I wasn't wrong. My boyfriend later on examined my brazilian and pointed out at least 7 patches that Artrecia missed. Some were on the front part so it's crazy how she missed those. She didn't go in with tweezers or do clean up strips afterwards to get the spots she missed. Nevertheless, I still tipped her $10 which I feel like she didn't even deserve for the mid brazilian she did on me. Now I'm wondering if I'll ever come back. One thing is for sure, if I ever do, I won't be going back to Artrecia.
