Did a gel nail removal here. Great friendly service! Really nice nail technicians and did the job well for a good price!

I have been going to get my nails done for about 25 + years. Helen has moved her shop 2X on Church St., and now is on the corner of 30th St. and Dolores. Mimi, Mui, and all the employees here are the very best and super friendly. Like very good friends! Reasonable prices and great service. I will only come here. Helen does have another store on Cortland Ave, which is little smaller & always busy. read more

This place is a hidden gem, super cute space, the girls here have helped me through some real nail crisises, fixed bad mani pedis, acrylic soak offs. All handling it with such calmness and kindness. I cannot thank them enough and will probably come back for more treatments! read more

I called to make an appointment for mani & pedi, while I was trying to gauge the prices of a regular/gel mani and pedi the lady on the phone was frustrated with me when I was asking questions and trying to write them down because this appointment was supposed to be for three people and all were going to get something different. The quality of their phone service was awful, especially when I heard the lady put me on speaker and all the workers in the facility proceeded to yell at me and ask what I wanted when I had stated what I was looking for, and had scolded me. I doubt this was a language barrier issue, really sad because I wanted to try something new and they were really rude. The vibes of this place were not great. Hope they do better and have patience with their future customers. Taking my business elsewhere! (A business says a lot with how they treat you over the phone) read more

I have been going to Noe Valley Nails for the past 10 years. Their whole team is amazing!!! Excellent quality service with the price no body can beat!! Mui and Mimi are always there for me! I do not go anywhere else since I found them from Church street before they move to Dolores. New space is lovely with high ceiling, new chairs, very spacious. You don't want to miss this neighborhood gem! read more

Look no further for the best mani pedi in Noe valley. In mid January I came for the first time to do gel nails by Mui. The nails last for 5 weeks which I've never heard of / seen! Came back today and had another lovely manicure session. Their team is incredible - such a friendly and warm group. Highly recommend! read more

These girls, Mimi and Mui and several others have taken care of me and my family for over 28 years. I love them! I travel every 2-3 weeks for a pedicure, to relax and be pampered by them. I recommend Noe Valley Nails - 1484 Church St in SF at the corner of 27th street. 415-920-8823 call them and let them know your coming. read more

I walked in to get my gel extensions removed and a regular gel manicure only to walk out with a pinky nail that was filed to the literal flesh. She wanted to put gel directly on my flesh as a "fix" since she filed my natural nail to oblivion; so like any reasonable person, I hightailed it out of there. I understand that extensions can be difficult to remove, but I am appalled at the gross negligence on the nail tech's part for insisting that they could remove it properly when it was clearly not the case. I wish I did my due diligence and checked the reviews before walking in. read more

Came in on a rainy cold day with my daughter and we got pedicures. We called an hour ahead to make an appointment. They were ready for us right away and we had our pedicures at the same time. Our nails look great! It's a cozy little place, very sweet ladies. read more

I have been going to this place for years. Mimi and Mui are the best. They take care of the details and do a really nice job. Once I found them at Noe Valley Nails, I don't go to any other salons. They have recently moved from Church Street. They are now on the corner of 30th and Dolores. The new place is very nice, modern and clean. It's so nice to get pampered here. read more

The women here have done a great job at setting up a safe, distanced, and comfortable environment for getting services. It was such a pleasant experience and made me so grateful to have them open again. My nails and toes look great! read more

Noe Valley Nails - Manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

I got my nails done here yesterday. They are are very friendly and accommodate walk-ins. I came in with an acrylic overlay and I wanted a gel manicure and a pedicure. The lady that worked on my hands did a decent job removing the acrylic on all but one nail where she dug in with the instrument and it hurt bad. My nail is still very tender today. She apologized, but it was quite uncomfortable. The pedicure was good. A 5 minute foot massage is $5. That was different. Most places I go to include a short foot massage and charge extra for a reflexology or longer massage. It was still a good basic pedi. Nails came out decent. Location wasn't bad nor was finding parking. Pricing was ok. read more

Have been coming to this location for many years now. Mui is amazing!! Such sweet on top of it people. Thank you! read more

I should have read the reviews.... But by the time I did it was too late. Called ahead and was told to come in that they had immediate availability but when we got their we waited around for 20 minutes for someone who was on their way. Only two employees where at the location both of which where working on one lady. After waiting around a woman showed up to do my manicure and wanted to basically do it over my lap which i did not understand everytime I have been here it is done at the table but this time a woman was sitting their reading a magazine and the worker did not want to ask to her move. They have raised their prices also. For the wait and quality of service it is definitely not worth it. This is sort of sad as my grandmother / sister / mom and I have been coming here off and on for many years. Sadly it is time to move on. read more

Mimi is the best! Thank you Mimi for doing a wonderful job with my pedicure. You're my ingrown doctor. She's very patient, nice, and gentle. I always trust her efficiency. Thank you! read more

Not sure why this place has such bad reviews. I came here and thought the salon and the service was pretty awesome! This salon is located in the residential area in Noe Valley. Parking is a bit of a challenge but is expected in San Francisco. The salon is super clean, hardwood floors, and has about 3 stations for nails and 3 stations for Pedi's. Most importantly they have a HUGE selection of OPI colors! The most I have seen at any salon, almost a full wall of it. In addition, they have a decent selection of shellac colors as well. The cost..$8 eyebrow wax, spa pedi and mani for $26, you can't go wrong. Ghetto prices and upscale service, no complaints here! read more

My friends have been raving about this place for awhile. A cheap mani & pedi place, they also do waxing. Today I had the spa mani&pedi and it only cost me $20!!!! WOW! It came with a parrafin wax, although I'm not sure what that does. The massage felt so good on my feet! I got there a little past 10:30am and I was done by 11:00am. It was empty being a Friday and all, and I hear the wait on the weekends can be a little horrendous. They do waxing too and by the prices on the board they seem pretty cheap/ reasonable. I considered getting my eyebrows waxed but didn't. Right on the corner of Church and 27th St. Ample parking, no meters! And the J Church runs right in front. Noe Valley Nails is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.; and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. read more

Would not recommend, I walked in for a pedicure , it was rushed, with poor attention to detail. My biggest issue was that the nail polish has cracked within the same time period of getting up and walking out. No recent reviews, hope this helps! read more

Horrible customer service and very poor mani- pedi service. The job was very rushed so, that they could get money and move on to the next customer. They're about "getting money" only. Unclean and unsanitary. Many repeat customers had fungi. I keep my translator running in the background on my phone and learned that they were even speaking ill of me in their language and laughing. I almost got up and walked out mid-service! I would not recommend this spot, at all. Keep your cash in your own pocket. 0 stars! read more

I remember when this place opened! It was charming and much calmer than it's sister nail salon down the street, Angel Nails, and I found myself here with my roommate just about every 3 weeks or so for a pampering pedicure. I moved out of the 'hood a few years ago, and have been back once or twice, finding the service to be good and my feet happy, and since my old roomie and I were treating ourselves to what is sure to be out last luxury for awhile (our babies are due pretty much the same day!) we thought it was the perfect place! Unfortunately, something had changed here. Let's see: The ladies were nice enough... the spa chairs comfy... we were offered water... they even added a mask treatment for your legs as your feet are soaking. Sounds pretty nice, doesn't it? What wasn't nice was the rushed nature of the pedi. (there was no one waiting) Or the wincing I was doing as the manicurist worked my cuticles. Nor was the uncomfortable scrubbing of my foots very high and ticklish arch. I KNOW there are no calluses there and not at all relaxing... and when I asked her to not scrub there, she shot me a look and pretty much stopped scrubbing -- even the bits that needed it most. The French pedi was a nice, well-executed thin line. The top coat, on the other hand, seemed dull. I like shiny toes and felt like the product they used was cheap. I asked for another coat and I was told that it became dull because I put my feet too close to the heater. If that were the case, only one of my feet would looked dull. Not both. Again I was shot a look as she applied another coat of clear (not shiny) polish. As for the manicure, it was just fine overall. Sadly, the polish lasted exactly 1 day. I only get a clear coat on my hands because I wash them a lot, but generally get a good 3-4 days before the peeling begins. As I look at my nails on day 2, I am disappointed to see peeling or completely peeled clear polish... even on my pinkies :( So sad to see a place that used to be such a lovely little oasis of pampering fall by the waste side. And while I'm giving them 3-stars, I don't think I'll be back. read more

This my go to spot by my work, it's super convenient to walk here & get my nails done during my lunch! It's not fancy, not super relaxing... But they do a good job on my gel shellac nails & pedicures for a decent price! read more

Least relaxing 'spa treatment' mani/pedi ever. They talk incessantly and loudly to each other, it's chaotic, and they seem extremely disorganized. They started my pedicure, the left and started someone else's so the other customer wouldn't leave. My manicurist stopped at least three times, once to fix a phone, once to chat to a friend on the phone - the third time to take a bite of her food. I nearly got up out of the foot bath and left. I'd never go here again even though it's walking distance around the corner from my house. I'd rather walk to 24th Street to Rainbow, where it's peaceful and they do a nice job. The pedicure was fine, except they rushed the manicure and my nails were left ragged and uneven. They were rude and just grunted at me. At one point she was talking to her friend so angrily she was squeezing my hand so hard I had to ask her to stop hurting me. I felt like a piece of meat. Also - seemed quite unclean and way too crowded with chairs everywhere like an assemblyline. They asked me to sit down in a spa chair that had old towels and tissues that had been in someone's toes on the seat. Gross. Other reviews say you get what you pay for, but I can go to about 5 other places in the city I can think of for the same price and a clean, friendly atmosphere. This is not that. Just don't go. read more

I've had my gel manicures done by Lana several times now and she has done a wonderful job each time. She is so meticulous every step of the way and I really appreciate that about her work. She is so nice and friendly and gives an amazing shoulder, arm, and head massage I look forward to it every time I see her! I don't understand why this place has such a low rating.. Yes it's small but all the women there do fabulous work and I am especially committed to seeing Lana since she always makes sure my nails are on point. In terms of pricing I think it's very reasonable, $30 for a set of gels. Overall I'm very happy with the service I have received at Noe Valley Nails and I never see myself going elsewhere, Lana has my full trust with my nails. A definite gem in Noe Valley! read more

Noe Valley Nails - A lovely gel manicure done by Lana! I love it! - Nail Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

From my girlfriend: This may be the worst nail salon in the Bay Area. The attendants are rude and careless. I went in for a simple mani-pedi and left 40 minutes later with a bludgeoned toe, the worst manicure ever (nails with gaps where my cuticles once were, and air bubbles covering each nail), terrible cuticles, and dead skin under my feet. I asked if the attendant could briefly re-tend to my feet, and she asked me if I planned on leaving a tip. I said "no," and then she did the same. This place ought to be shut down. What a waste of time and money! read more

Quick and great service for a mani/pedi! They are busy on the weekends so it's best to try and catch them in the afternoon. Super convenient location in Noe. Wait is never more than 10-15 min for walk-ins read more

I am never going back to this nail salon ever again. Some idiot nicked my pinky in Dec '04 and it managed to screw my life for good. After going to this salon..a few weeks later, I had developed a staph infection on my right hip and had a couple surgeries not to mention antibiotics to kill it. I had lost my right hip because of bone damage and had to walk in a walker for an entire year until Feb of this year...I had gotten a hip replacement. I was 18 at the time of the hip replacement surgery but I am now 19 years old...too young to have an artificial hip. However, I am thankful to be alive. I haven't been to a nail salon since. If I plan to go to a nail salon in the future..I want management to be very, very sanitary. IN other words...HIGH maintenence. Or..I will just bring my own tools to the salon. read more

Most nail salons are more about the experience than giving you great looking nails. Noe Valley Nails is a pared-down, bare bones operation, but for the price, you get a beautiful, long-lasting manicure. If you go with an OPI polish, your manicure could last as long as two weeks. The waxer here is also excellent for eyebrows. Both my housemate and I get our eyebrows done by her and even though she is Italian and I am pale of hair and skin, we both look smokin' after. Extra bonus: the nail technicians are very sweet and most speak fairly good English. Extra extra bonus: there is rarely a wait, even on a Saturday in the dead of summer. read more

So happy! They send someone ever from here when I do my hair @ Lisa's! Best french manicure I have had in a while, and she is nice! $15.00 for a mani and it looks great, I am happy, not one chip after 3 days! read more

I came back my favorite nail salon. It's so nice to see and get my treatment by nail designers who knows my needs and preferences. It was worth waiting for six months. I am so glad they are back in buisiness read more

I love this neighborhood gem!!! They do everything flawlessly! I've been super happy with all the services, waxing, mani-pedi's, (both gel and regular polish) LOVE that they introduced me to Essie Couture line... now I'm obsessed! (Perfect nude color "Fairy Tailor"). Everyone here is "A" team..... I always bring my out of town friends/sister here.... they are always impressed with the level of professionalism and friendliness (they will work very hard to fit you in, calling for assistance from another location if need be). Truly a cut above, and I have been a happy client for over 10 years. Oh... and they do lovely massages! read more

I have been getting my nails done twice a week for over 10 years. This is hands down the worst experience I've ever had. 2.5 hours, mis shapen, peeling glue off my fingers the whole way home. Just awful. Embarrassed to walk around like this. It's that noticeably poor. The lady was nice, though. Ugh. read more

I have been coming here over 10 years for spa pedicures. They are the best. All of them are gentle and have never left me with a sore spot. The polish lasts for weeks. The chairs are comfy. The covid precautions excellent. Mui is great but do is everyone else. read more

Bare basics and no frills; that's what you get here. When I lived on 27th and Church, this was my regular nail salon for two years. I've never had a truly bad experience here, but I stopped coming because of convenience. When they first opened, this little salon was a wonderful neighborhood gem. It was a great place to go for a quick, inexpensive manicure/pedicure. Their waxing services are decently priced too. However, since the shop has grown in popularity, their customer service has definitely suffered. They will often call in girls from the other shop for back-up and have multiple girls assist you to help turnover as many customers as possible. Karen and Mimi are the best; they do take care of their regulars. But when they get busy, it's difficult to request specific girls -- unless you want to wait. read more

A great friendly nail salon. Very professional. I have had good manicures, pedicures, and also waxing there.

The lady badly tore my skin when she waxed me. They didn't apologize and wanted to charge me full price. I had to argue with them to get a discount for the damage. I'm never going back again. read more

This is my place to go for nails in SF! They're very detailed oriented and always, I mean always, have found a spot open for me no matter what day I need my nails done. read more
