I LOVE this place!! It is so cute and calm inside with soft piano music playing. I had a gel removal and a classic manicure for a very reasonable price. The warm neck pillow and hand massage were very relaxing. Kim was very gentle and i appreciate her attention to detailed. I will definitely be coming back!!! read more

Mizu Spa - Classic manicure - Skin Care Near Me - San Francisco, California

A basic pedicure was $55! And it was mediocre. In Pacific Heights I pay $35 for an excellent job. This is not a luxe salon by any stretch! Shocking! read more

I was able to get in the same day with a gel mani + classic pedi appointment, which I appreciate. Walk-ins are welcomed as well. Staff is friendly upon entering. The nail techs are friendly and attentive. The positives: + quality polishes + excellent hand/ feet massages + no cuticle over-trimming + some of the nail techs are meticulous in cuticle trimming and gel application The negatives: - prices are a little high - clean-up is needed on the skin post polish - wooden chairs that are uncomfortable (not massaging chairs) Would I recommend? Yes, I would if I was in the area and in need of a solid hand massage/ mani. read more

Mizu Spa - OPI gel mani ($60) - Skin Care Near Me - San Francisco, California

This place is great. Service is wonderful and quality it right up there with high spas. I got a facial massage and a manicure even though it's a little more pricey than your average place is definitely worth if you can afford it. read more

Following a routine facial wax at your studio, I developed dermatitis that has persisted for three months, which has now been confirmed by my dermatologist. I've had this service many times without issue, but during this visit the treatment took significantly longer and involved repeated passes over the same areas. Based on this, I believe the technique used contributed to the reaction. Additionally, I was not provided with any pre- or post-care instructions or information about potential risks. This is concerning, as both technique and aftercare guidance are important for client safety. read more

Long Story Short: they gave our double mani pedi appt away claiming they called us 2 hours before and they ended up having the wrong number so we never got this call and showed up. I guess miscommunication but still frustrating nonetheless, especially bc we booked appointments over the phone talking to a worker from the store. And didn't have that much of a buffer, wish they called earlier. The staff is really nice though, so attentive and helpful. They helped move my bags (came off of work so I know they were heavy) and insisted I try their neck pillow which was actually really comforting. They get your nails so clean, the cuticle work is perfect! Didn't bleed, no snags, no left overs. Inside is quite small, I didn't realize this and if I had known, I wouldn't have come with so much or scheduled a different time haha! my friend had been going for a while and said she had never 1. seen so many people (literally on a weekday afternoon) and 2. had this whole mix up with giving away appointments in all her years. They give great massages, no massage chairs and I don't think I saw the built in massage tubs for pedicures. I believe it's their own plastic tub they use? I think the employees doing the actual service are great! Would say they're kind of a simple, no muss no fuss type of shop but will get you cleaned up real good! read more

My manicure with the Dazzle Dry polish hasn't chipped after 3 weeks. How is that even possible!?

Walked past here many times as a Mission Bay dweller. Decided to book massages as an end of the year treat and was very pleased. Booking was easy and was able to get a last minute appointment. My masseuse was very skilled and friendly, and the price was very reasonable. I will be back! read more

I really liked this nail Spa. Gentle and relaxing music, very clean, nice staff, the work they do is wonderful. It's a very pleasant nail spa where you don't feel rushed. read more

This nail salon gives you an air of class and sophistication when you enter, being in the heart of the Mission Bay neighborhood and for it's crisp and simple interior. The chairs are all elevated a couple of steps from the floor and are quite comfy. I've been coming here regularly since the end of 2023 and seeing Shelley for pedicures since my last salon's quality dropped. The last time I came to Mizu was years ago and was quite disappointing. Even though it's close by where I live, I had been trekking up to Hayes and Divisadero for nails, but now I'm so glad I gave Mizu another try and found Shelley. Shelley gives amazingly gentle pedicures and the 10 minute foot massage add-on is a must! I've also done callus treatments with her and after a few sessions, I can really feel the difference on my skin. The only thing I will say is that the rates are a bit higher than your average nail salon, especially for pedicures. But for the convenience and for Shelley, I find it worth it, at least for me. read more

Been going here for years and had nearly all services. I love getting massages and facials and manicures and lashes and waxing (not all in the same day, you know wax and massage don't mix). I recommend appointments but I have seen walk ins happen. No acrylic nails but both gel and natural. Vibe is pretty chill and often quiet but we can get a polite chatter going! I'm here often and highly recommend it! Also just adding this, I have been to the cheaper places for nails and the quality here was better. I use to get my manicure cheaper in the area and to me the better quality was worth the price. No complaints I just got what I paid and for me I'd rather get my nails a Mizu. read more

I finally found a place that I loved the mani/pedi! I'm from Brazil and I had a super long and hard time trying to find a place that I could have my nails done like I'm used to! After I had my nails destroyed in so many places... here are my nails recovered by the amazing work from Mai! Thank you so much Mai and Mizu Spa! read more

Mizu Spa - Mani by Mai - Skin Care Near Me - San Francisco, California

I was in the city enjoying food from food trucks at Spark SF when my boyfriend and I decided to try and get some pedicures. He has never gotten one before. I came across Mizu Spa with the help of Yelp and I was not disappointed. Total: $115. A little pricey, but it is in the city. We paid for a classic gel pedicure with gel removal and new polish as well as a men's pedicure. By the way, this establishment does require you to pay ahead of time. Only cash tips are accepted. Service: When I called and let the individual who answered the phone know that it was my boyfriends first pedicure, she assured me that he was in good hands. It was a smell gesture, but it made me happy and it definitely helped him feel more at ease too. Cleanliness: We were asked to sanitize our hands prior to being seated. Vaccination cards were not asked for, but masks were required. After each guest, the stations were thoroughly sanitized. Overall: I had a great experience! My boyfriend felt comfortable which made me extremely happy! Now I have a pedicure partner :) Thank you for the amazing service. I'll be back to get a manicure and I'll update my review. Until then I would give this place a 4-4.5 star rating. read more

I loved coming to Mizu last week for a little bit of self-care time after a long week at work! I had never been to the spa before, but received a gift card here so I made an appointment for a facial, gel mani, and gel pedi. The reservation/appointment was easy to make - I submitted a request online and received a call the next day. I think next time, I'll probably just call directly and save myself the extra step. The facial was so lovely and very much needed! The esthetician asked about my sun concerns and any sensitivities - and my skin was glowing! She also did cupping and gua sha - which was great! I had t he facial and immediately thought of recommending it to every single one of my friends. It was like a massage for my face with a ton of vitamins. Gel mani/pedi was perfect! Both technicians were meticulous and took their time. It also helped that they were super friendly and offered good advice on colors and glitter. It is probably one of the best mani/pedis I've ever received because my cuticles didn't freak out in the days that followed. It is pricey compared to some of the other salons in t he area, but you really get what you pay for. I would definitely recommend and will definitely be back! read more

Highly recommend! Love that Mizu Spa is close to my apartment. The salon is cute and I love the vibe. Everyone was super welcoming and nice. I called to book an appointment to fix my nail and they squeezed me in same day. $10 to fix the nail. I had my nails done at another salon but the gel was already peeling by day 4 so I called Mizu Spa again the next day to book an appointment to remove the old gel & get a new fill ($55). So happy with the results! My manicurist was very careful in removing the old gel and shaped it very nicely. She applied the coat neatly and there were no lumps and bumps. Highly recommend! read more

Mizu Spa - $55 gel manicure - love it! - Skin Care Near Me - San Francisco, California

First time getting a facial treatment here and it was a great experience! My skin looks more radiant and even looking. When you're a working professional and got a lot going on, it's good to treat yourself! Important tip: they only accept cash tips. read more

Great, professional and safe place to get nails done in Mission Bay! Currently closed for the second shelter in place, but very much looking forward to going back if/when they reopen. Due to CV19, Mizu requires that you to make reservations online (phone is the best and quickest way) and fill out a CV19 health form - the lady on the phone was very good at telling me expected durations of different services and in explaining the CV19 protocols in place. Note that because they limit one employee servicing a customer, it will take much longer if you want to go in for both a mani and a pedi (now would take 2 hrs, since you won't have two people working with you at the same time). What has struck me about this place is the service - for example, when the shop was about to close due to the shelter-in-place announcement, they called me to explain the situation and to rebook my appointment. They were very prompt at picking up my calls and rebooking my appointment. Also when I chose a color for my gel manicure, the lady pointed out on her own that the color I chose wasn't the best since it chipped a lot, and was able to recommend a very similar color that didn't chip as easily as my first choice. Not sure why they had the first color there in the first place if it chipped a lot, but was thankful they knew the colors / brands to make a better recommendation. I've twice done the gel lacquer manicure for $55 - this took around 1 hour (assuming you don't already have a gel manicure on already). Both times, they came out beautifully and they didn't chip until more than a week later (which was perfect timing for a surprise engagement). So far, I've had a pretty positive experience, especially during CV19. Hope this place opens up again so I can go back again and try more services! read more

Mizu Spa - Gel manicure ($55 in 1 hr) - Skin Care Near Me - San Francisco, California

Favorite spot in the mission bay neighbor, staff is friendly and they really make your experience comfortable.

I went in for a massage after reading the reviews. The room is small and cozy, and the lady and please forgive me for not remembering her name was phenomenal. It was one of the best massages I ever had. The masseuse is petite but so strong and thorough. The massage was well worth the price. I would totally recommend! read more

Lovely service, clean space, accommodating and relaxing. Lucky to have Mizo near my office.

Today was now my 5th time being to this nail salon. My nails were terrible the first time but I gave it a second chance because at the time I lived across the street. The second and third visit were no more than just ok. Definitely not a professional job but better than the first. I realize I'm totally at fault for giving them a 5th visit however I went today for a last minute appointment and my nails which were long and grown out when I arrived are now a few different lengths, shorter and very stumpy. While the shade I chose Bubble Bath by OPI is semi sheer and you should see my nails through it they should have been painted better. One of the tips is missing polish!!! This is so bad. You'll see from the photo below - 4 out of 5 nails are a different length and the middle finger isn't even polished to the tip! SO bad and SO unprofessional. Please don't waste your time or money. read more

Mizu Spa - 4 out of 5 nails are a different length and the middle finger isn't even polished to the tip! SO bad and SO unprofessional. - Skin Care Near Me - San Francisco, California

My gel nails are always perfect and last forever. The ladies there are very nice and accommodating when I need to get in last minute.

Always clean and great service. Love them! The quality of their work is exceptional. Will not go anywhere else.

I live right by here and usually call for a last minute same day appt that they almost always accommodate. The front desk personal are always so nice. I've seen multiple of their nail technicians and have always had a great experience! I've had my brows cleaned up as well and same experience. Treat yourself to the signature mani/pedi it's very relaxing! read more

So, I've reviewed this place before for a massage which even though pricey is worth every cent. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for the gel manicures. My nails are so damaged and have been chipping and cracking since I had them done a couple of weeks ago. I feel like the price you pay for most things in San Francisco are overpriced for the quality of services and products you receive. Needless, to say I cannot recommend the manicures there. The vibe was ok, it would've been nice to choose where I could sit, where I was placed felt very awkward to me. Now that I'm back home I can have a Real solid manicure that is more than worth the price. read more

Yeah! Open again! Been coming here for years and love this place. So glad they survived these past 6 months. They have all the appropriate safety protocols in place. Looks like most if not all of the original staff is back as well. And they do such a better job then I do! After 6 months of trimming my own nails it's great to be pampered again read more

On the pricer end def for gel mani and pedi but you do getting a really good relaxing experience out of it. I like this place bc you always get your service at your appointment time unlike many nail salons which u arrive at ur appointment and they just ask u to wait for 20-30min before u actually get ur nails wet. they also give u a heated neck pillow and that's a plus too. besides, the spa asks ppl to keep a quieter environment in the spa which really helps me to reduce my stress during a nail day. overall a good experience if u want a relaxing nail day read more

UPDATE- after a week my nail polish has chipped. And even on my toe. This has never happened before at less fancy salons. They are probably missing an element that makes the polish last. I guess i would go once in a while for the massages, but this will not be my routine place. I had a b-day event here. Mizu staff were really nice to serve us while we were doing our mani/pedi. They asked us if we wanted any food or drinks. It was hard to talk to the girls because the seats were so spacious. It definitely is relaxing for the individual sitting in the chair. They have a really good selection of colors for nails. It had really pretty and funky colors as well as neutral. It is the best mani/pedi experience I have had. You are really in your individual space was a pillow behind to lean back and sleep on. The feet and hand massages are an extra bonus from those rushed, cheapy salons. I will have to take advantage of those early bird specials one day. The nail specialists did not really talk to you while you were enjoying your service. They also fixed any mistakes without giving us the attitude look. Even with 2 people working on you, they both concentrate on the task at hand. I've been to a salon where 2 people have worked on you, but one person is not doing it very carefully. I think the nail job was slightly better than my toes. I noticed on my 2 big toes- I could slightly see streaks. I had the lavendar crush- I'm not sure if it's really detoxifying, but the treatment did feel nice. I'm not that big of a fan of dry brushing, that part was okay- it could slightly painful for the skin. The massage with stones included, was better than Palo Alto's Watercourse Way, where they have hot stones just gently places on my back. That did absolutely nothing. The massage therapist actually used the stones to massage me. The hot towels felt great while wiping off the lavender exfoliation. I felt like my lower back was kinda missed, but my limbs were definitely massage and loosen. She did pull my neck and shoulders a bit. I have to get a deep tissue massage soon. They have relaxing music inside and I could not hear the outside traffic as mentioned in some other review. The restroom is quite interesting, I had a slight problem finding the flush pad. This place could be a bit pricy, for routine appointments, but if you feel like treating yourself or taking advantage of the early bird special! This is the place to be. read more

Mizu Spa - Skin Care Near Me - San Francisco, California

I got a shellac manicure and signature pedicure. I really enjoyed my experience here. It's very peaceful and quiet and the aestheticians are quite meticulous and detail oriented. So a few things to note: because they are so detail oriented, it's not a 'get in, get out' experience. Not including drying time, the mani-pedi was an hour. And it leans toward pricey but not relative to San Francisco prices. They are a good example of 'you get what you pay for.' read more

I have been coming to this place more than one year because it is cross my home however today I felt used and taunted by the rude women who is a manager of this place. I called before to ask her a lady who has glasses so because my old speacialist left the place ( she was very nice and proffesional) I wanted someone who is also knows what she is doing. However first manager gave me someone I have never seen and also she did not know what she is doing. I am coming for manicure every week and I have been going for manicure for 15 years. I sometimes even do it myself so I can understand who is good and not. During my manicure this girl was telling me I have dry skin so we should not take cuticles. So why am I coming to manicure in the first place? In the end I have waited my hand to be finished later I waited for manager to be alone so I dont wany anyone to hear I was trying to be polite and concerned. Manager was unbelievable she told me that she is a good specialist and I am not normal! Then I said you gave me wrong girl I said there was someone with glasses who is also good. and she told me I taught you want someone without glasses. In the end she said dont come if you are not pleased. I dont deal with this because its only $28 so dont make it as a big problem. I have given $28 every week for manicure since 2018. Plus I am coming here for message and for pedicure too. So yes its very cheap therefore I should not make a big deal. If she is not good I can come every 2 days just to make you feel good and give more money. However you understood what I am saying but it is easy to blame me and tell a lie. You dont even say sorry and I misunderstood you on the phone. If you have any concerns dont tell her she will not help you at all and make you feel bad. I am now thinking why did I deserve this. I should not pay for this service also but I did. It is because I don't want to make a scene again. Maybe this happened to me because because I am foreigner. read more

Mizu was recommended by a local. I called late Friday morning for a manicure/pedicure and they had availability for a walk-in. It was very clean, tools were sanitized, and overall a calming ambience. I got the signature mani/pedi combo. The massage and scrub were a nice touch. I also love that they do the mani/pedi at the same time so it saves time. You also get a warm neck pillow. I wasn't in a rush to leave and they left me stay in the chair for my nails to dry naturally. They did an amazing, clean job on my nails. I used the Deborah Lippmann Naked shade (nude creme). I'm at the one week mark and no chips -- and I have done some dishes since... They guarantee chips up to 4 days. Also noticed that they use sell Skinceuticals products. Pricing: There was a sign on the door that there was a price increase. The website says the combo for the signature mani/pedi combo is 45 minutes $67 but I was charged less than that. Not sure if there is a special for morning service. Tip is cash only. read more

Pedicure was fine. Except that I ended up with a bleeding toe after they cut me when trimming my cuticles. The pedicurist didn't even say anything about it. I just looked down at the end and noticed a large spot of blood that was still bleeding when she left. I told the front desk before leaving and they said they weren't able to do anything about it. It's too bad I tipped ahead of time when paying up front. read more

Decided to give this place a try since I was in the area. The receptionist was nice and helpful when they didn't have the original color I wanted. Their gel color selection by the way is limited compared to other salons I've been to. However, the manicure itself is disappointing. I'll definitely be going back to my usual at Polished Nest. Polished Nest is super clean, has all the latest colors, and they pay close attention so everything is perfect. Mizu is quite the opposite. I showed a sample photo of what I wanted: oval shaped colored French tips. The manicurist nodded and started on cutting my nails to shape. I noticed she didn't compare the length of the nails on the right hand to the left so my right hand turned out to be longer. I don't know if I've just been used to the attention to detail from Polished Nest but I let her know they were uneven and she tried fixing them. When filing she made my nails pointy so I reminded her I wanted oval shaped. She went back to filing and ended up filing the shape crooked to where some nails still had the point and now leaned to the right. I let her know and she tried to fix it again. She started on color and painted my whole nail. I kindly reminded her I had wanted a French tip. She started my finger over and continued free handing. The French tips were uneven and I pointed that out as she continued. She tried to fix it but at that point I gave up. You can see from the photos that my thumb nail is pointy (not oval shaped) and leans to the right. On my left hand you can see the unevenness of the shape of the French tips, especially my middle finger, and in the nail shape (some pointy leaning left and some oval). When I went to check out the receptionist mentioned French tips were an additional $7. That's absolutely fine with me but it would've been nice to be notified before it was completed. I left a big tip to support businesses during this time and gave some feedback about the misses on attention to detail. The receptionist responded sometimes it's just hard to file. I don't think I'll be back. read more

I just walked out of Mizu Spa. It was the most ridiculously expensive mani/pedi of my life. Here's why: the nail tech dropped a bottle of purple polish at my feet & it broke and splashed polish all over my clothing. $80 pants $110 coat $150 custom shoes (won't be able to replace those) $40 scarf $60 top They offered me a few cotton balls dipped in acetone polish remover, which ruins fabric. No apology. AND STILL CHARGED ME $75 for the service! I'd avoid this nail spa, not because they ruined my nails, but because they ruined an entire outfit, and at the end of they day, they just don't really care. read more

The pedicuring cut my toe nail way too short - she basically got rid of all the white part - my toes have been hurting since then, all day.

Very cute spa with a calming environment and cute chairs and foot stools that are cemented in the ground so that you can rest your feet comfortably without worrying about it moving. The technicians were great and very quiet and professional and did a great job. I'm very picky when it comes to manis and pedis and they were great! The regular nail polish on my hands haven't chipped (I wash my hands a lot during the day) and it has been 3 days so far. My only suggestion is for the receptionist to call to confirm appointments only one time. I confirmed verbally the first time and then I got another call with a voicemail message to confirm the aptmt which irritated me. They took down my cc# so if they were afraid of us (3) not showing up they were able to charge my card the "no show" fee. Other than that, great job! read more

I've gotten my nails (gel) done here once before and they did a pretty good job. I then went back a month later to have it removed (too lazy to remove myself) and they charged me $10, which I think is reasonable given SF prices. I called today to see if they could squeeze me in for a gel removal and once I got there, the woman at the front desk said it would cost $27 ( over $30 with tip). What a RIP OFF, I immediately left. It makes no sense to pay $30 for a removal when I could get gel re-done for $40-$50. I will never come back here again and would not recommend this salon. It's a pretty basic salon with okay service that's charging as if they're high end. read more

Nice environment and friendly staff. They have always a good job on nails, no matter it is a traditional nail or gel. I have tried most nail salons in Mission Bay/Soma/FiDi area. This place is not the cheapest, but they are very reliable. I have never had bad nail work done by their nail technicians. read more
