My normal pedicure (not gel) was not cured properly, and two days later the nail polish on the largest toe just fell off (as if it was never dried?). The work was poor, the service was poor, and the cost is high. The high benches for the pedicure are awkward. This city has better options, skip this one. It's sad because Q Spa had been my favorite a decade ago. read more

Took me a while to find my nail spot and it was right down the street! I came to Q spa in January after having a horrendous experience at another nail spa who used dipped powder. My nails were so torn up they were down to the thinnest and shortest I've ever had them. Then I found Emmy. She has done an amazing job and my nails are now strong and beautiful. She is honest about what you need, and always takes her time making your nails beautiful My gel nails can last up to 3 weeks! Went to Hawaii with them and through the sand and beach they still looked great. Highly recommend, but make an appointment read more

Rated so low for the actual work. Not only did I cure my nails myself, it's just not what I asked for!! The sweet lady who did my toes didn't give me a massage or even put lotion on my feet. Ugh, I hate that. The ladies were both so very nice, comforting, and sweet. I paid $145 for what I thought was going to be an acrylic full set and gel pedicure. I'm not sure if they just don't do acrylic? But I got some kind of GelX. I asked and showed pictures of what I expected. I'll let you be the judge. I would assume these nails costed me $80-$90. That I had to fix at home so my fingers didn't look like globes. They're f*n ugly. read more

It's been 3.5 days since I went in for a gel mani & pedi, and one of my nails from my gel manicure just completely failed -- half of it peeled off. Also, within the first day, I noticed a chip at the tip of another nail on the same hand. My accompanying gel pedicure was great, but the person who did my gel manicure did a poor job. My visit a few days ago was my second visit in the last two months. That first gel mani/pedi held up really well when I went to Burning Man and was in the harsh desert for 2 full weeks. read more

The reason I gave this place 2 stars is because of the noise. The employees chit-chat, laughing in their language too loud across the room. I can't even feel relaxed as I supposed. Also the unpleasant smell of food... It makes everything go down the hill even though the staff are friendly. I hope they should understand people walk into the salon/spa (as they called themselves SPA) I would like besides good service I could relax with music and a pleasant atmosphere, not suffer myself for an hour of loud voices and unpleasant smell. Great selection of colors. I have a gel manicure &pedicure nicely shape and it lasts almost 3 weeks. Docking one more star only because I wish the hand and foot massage was better since it was pretty minimal. And the chairs for the manicure area were not comfortable at all. read more

Finally found my go-to nail spot! I booked through Yelp message, they responded quickly and were able to see me that day. $50 for a gel manicure which is the most reasonable I've been charged in the area. The salon is very cute and clean. Friendly staff. They work super fast but have great attention to detail. (I'm someone who hates getting their nails done, so this is huge for me!)

My friend recommended Q Spa to me. Since my last two visits to other nail salons were not the most pleasant experiences (too rough, painting not neat, etc.), I was a bit reluctant, but I decided to come in for a gel manicure. One of my worries was being COVID conscious since I haven't been out in a while. That worry was immediately dispelled. The facilities are immaculately clean. Everyone must have a mask and they can provide a mask if you forgot yours. You also must sanitize your hands upon entry, Q Spa is completely COVID safe. Onto the manicure. The worker who took care of me, Emmy, was very kind, humble, gentle, AND meticulous when she started the nail designs. You can tell that the workers are dedicated to doing a great job and taking care of the customer. And the design she did turned out AMAZING!!!! They are exactly as I pictured and described them. I am absolutely in love with my nails, all under two hours!! I'm very glad my friend recommended me. I 100% recommend Q Spa for the best care and the best results. read more

Unfortunately can't recommend this place. Went to get my soft gel nail extensions removed and the manicurist kept asking me if I had dip or gel nails. It was definitely gel but they asked multiple times, and at one point a different manicurist came over to look and tell me I had dip on. I think I would know what I had done on my own nails, so it makes me feel like they don't really know what they're doing here.. To add to that, I called and scheduled an appointment at 5 since their hours here say they close at 7. When I called, I told them what I was getting done, so they should be able to estimate the time it would take. Turns out they close at 6, and they were literally rushing me out at 6 pm on the dot- I couldn't even wait for my nails to dry fully. I hate coming in to businesses near closing, but that's their responsibility to schedule appointments properly. Then, when I go to pay, I wanted to tip with my card. I literally get an eye roll asking why I don't have cash to tip when I was tipping 30% and saw two customers tip with card before me. I guess they were irritated because they don't know what gel extensions are, but don't take out your inexperience on me! read more

A little pampering does a soul a lot of good! Happy to find this gem of a spot for a gel manicure and pedicure. Located on a lovely tree lined street, found a parking spot right in front! Already making for a good start! The open doors of this quaint spa beaconed me in! My eyes quickly scanned the place and I liked what I saw. The decor was pristine, modern and airy. Bench styled seating upholstered with dense soft plush cushions. Sitting on them felt extremely roomy and comfortable. Cool upscale fixtures to soak my footsies in! Plenty of nail polish colors to chose from. The vibe was quiet, welcoming and friendly! Nail technicians here do their craft well. Had a beautiful gel manicure, pleased with the detail and care (thanks Linda!). Pedicure was also very good, enjoyed the hot stone massage that came with it!

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'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.

I came in when she was with another client and she was able to squeeze me in and multitask well. When she quickly finished with the haircut, she kept asking me if I liked the outcome and if there was anything I wanted to change. I really appreciated it because I kept saying I liked it (What I normally do for services) but when she continued to insist I told her I wanted more texture at my ends and she happily delivered. Overall, I would highly recommend if you want a solid and attentive hair stylist! The salon was also cute and clean.

For context, I only come a few times a year for special occasions or events, but all customers should be treated the same... The nail tech assigned to me didn't even say hello, yet fawned over the "regulars." The actual pedicure was sloppy and unprofessional. The attached photo speaks for itself--uneven shape, sloppy paint job, and a small lint on the right big toe. When I politely asked the nail tech to fix it, she rudely said "I know!" But didn't even fix it in the end. In addition, she did not cap the free edges and the next day, the nail polish chipped on a few nails (not pictured).

But the…read morelast few times I've made an appointment specifically with her, I haven't even been seen by her. Even with an appointment, I end up waiting 20-30 minutes, sometimes longer. What's more frustrating is I booked Gel-X and still got pushed into getting regular gel because Jenny wasn't available, even though the appointment was supposed to be with her. I completely understand she's popular, but it's disappointing to make an appointment for a specific service and technician and not receive either.

They only had two techs working, so they ended up handling multiple customers at once. It took a lot longer to get our nails done, and Jenny had to stay 2 hours past closing to accommodate us, but she did a fantastic job!! She's amazing at doing detailed designs and is clearly very experienced. I had to pivot from my original design but she was really skilled and I honestly let her have full reign of the new design, but they turned out beautiful. She put a ton of detail into making sure my nails were perfect to the very last minute. FYI a gel manicure with design and gems/pearls (self provided) was $65 pre tip, which is more than they list on the site. They prefer cash but venmo is also accepted. Very peaceful vibe inside, with a restroom and water provided. They don't rush you at all which is nice :)

Love the gals here! Always 10/10 on my gel manicure and regular pedicure! Emmy is always willing to tackle whatever trendy nail design I bring in and executes with so much attention to detail. Best of all my manicure always lasts at least 3 weeks! Both the gel manicure and pedicure include a nice little massage with warm oil and warm towels which I LOVE.

Honestly, I'm just glad it happened to me instead of my pickleball partner (a random white lady). Between pickleball and outdoor basketball, my nails are always taking a beating, so matte black ended up being the perfect choice. I walked in on 07/03/2026 with no appointment, and even though they were completely booked and incredibly busy, they still found time to take care of me. That's customer service you don't forget. Definitely call ahead and make an appointment if you can. The English and Vietnamese-speaking husband-and-wife team had such warm, caring energy. Fellow eagles... iykyk. The mani/pedi combo was $70. I paid with card because I'm broke, but cash is still king. Amazing service, amazing people, and amazing vibes. I inadvertently left my gifts I bought (Christian mugs for my friends) and the owner ran half a block to return them back to me. They earned a lifelong customer.

Whether I want a simple cat eye or chrome or a more intricate design, my nails always turn out amazing and I get so many compliments. When I want something more intricate, I make sure to bring example pics and tell them exactly what I want, and I appreciate that they always check if I'm happy with the shape and design before curing. I've also never experienced the gel chipping or lifting, even with ~4 weeks in between appointments. When I first started coming, I really appreciated how Ivy gave me tips on caring for my nails, which showed me she doesn't just care about how they look but also how healthy they are. Also as an introvert, I love that you can book an appointment online or text to book haha. It's a small and intimate studio, and often you'll hear returning clients yapping away with their nail tech (but they also have a tv so you can play whatever show you want if you prefer to have a quiet appointment). All the staff are friendly and professional, so you can't really go wrong with any of them, but Mia is my favorite!
