    The pedicure stations
    Katherine H.

    This is where I like to come when I want to treat myself to a nice pedicure! My gal, Van, was so meticulous about shaping my nails and cleaning them, it was a full half hour of her taking detailed attention to the quality of my nail. It is on the pricier side on the scale of nail salons but I feel that you truly get what you pay for here. They play French music, offer you a glass of still or sparkling water, wine for a price- it is a really lovely experience- I will continue to come here for my nice pedicure treats!

    They take good care of you and your nails once you're in the chair behind the bar! Unlike most places, they WILL NOT be scraping/drilling your nails. They'll lightly just push off the goo on your nails after applying a polish that softens previous gel on your nails. I also loved how patient they were in trying to match the photo you show them- they will make sure to try a few things and that you like it on one finger before actually moving on to the rest of your nails.

    Was able to make a same day appointment on a Saturday and was so happy with the experience. Great service, wonderful color recommendations, and very thoughtful choices including soft jazz music, high quality products, fingerless gloves to protect from uv days while the girl cured, etc. Will be back!

    At last! A nail shop in SF that's worth the money! I was really happy with my experience, staff was very kind and the nail technician was very gentle. I got the regular polish and to my surprise it lasted a full two weeks without chipping after going to the beach, swimming, and snorkeling every day of my trip. I'll be back! :)

    Feeling very Meghan Markle, royalty era with these classy short nails.

    I had a wonderful experience here and fully intend to be back. Tuyen is incredibly meticulous and cares about the final product and that you're happy with the way your nails look. Maybe next time I can have the wine and I won't be in a rush! Lovely place, lovely neighborhood, and lovely nails!

    Mani still holding up weeks later!

    Overdue review! This salon is delightful. I have thought about flying in from SoCal just to come to this salon every few months. The owner is amazing, attention to detail is on point, and the salon is so quiet and delightful you could hear a pin drop. Light jazz music, a glass of wine, total relaxation specially in the chaos of SF. My regular polish manicure lasted a full 2 weeks before I took the polish off. Amazing. Thank you will be back soon!

    beautiful gel nails.

    This nail salon is BEAUTIFUL! The owner has really thought of everything down to the last detail. Spacious, airy, clean, and PEACEFUL! The most relaxing nail salon I've ever been to. The techs really take their time to get everything PERFECTLY DONE. The hand and feet massages were excellent and even followed up with a lovely warm towel. I will be going back for sure! I feel so pampered!!

    Great experience here with Tuyen. She has the best attention to detail and really takes care of her customers. She is lovely to chat with. The atmosphere of this place is so clean, chic, and cozy. This is definitely my new go to spot! Haven't tried the pedicures but the manicure is one of my favorites! Great addition to the NOPA/ Haight neighborhood! Thanks Tuyen!!!

    How well do they remove callouses? Do they spend a lot of time or is it super gentle?

    I'm in town visiting my best friend for her birthday, and this is her go-to nail spot - now I…read moretotally understand why! I'm SO impressed with how our nails turned out. They are true perfectionists and clearly take so much pride in their work. From start to finish, the entire experience was relaxing, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyable. And our nails? Fckn fabulous. Truly perfection.

    I'd like to leave 3 1/2 stars, but couldn't figure out how. The place was sweet looking, very…read moreclean and comfortable. I was worked on by 2 people; a woman who started my manicure, but didn't finish it. Mostly I was worked on by a tall man. He didn't communicate very much, but it was my first time and maybe I should have communicated more. I will next time. I must say I walked away with my toes and finger nails looking quite good. The place is pricey, $70 (which wound up being $72 and change on my debit card which was not explained to me) for a manicure/pedicure. I'm used to spending $50. I chose wellness due to long massages as part of the service. I quite liked the arms/shoulders/neck massage. However, the legs/feet was lacking. Not enough pressure and the feet mostly ignored. I also noticed my friend's legs/feet massage was SUBSTANTIALLY longer than mine and her person (younger man) attended well to her feet. That is my biggest complaint, a lackluster and way too short legs/feet massage. My next complaint is the cursory attention to my intense calluses on my feet and cracked skin heels. He maybe used the pumice stone for 20 seconds on each foot ! THIS is such an important part of a pedicure, coming away with soft feet. My feet were exactly the same when I left as when I came in. SO DISAPPOINTED!!!! Certainly NOT worth spending $70!!! One of the other things that softens feet for a proper pedicure is soaking them in treated warm water. A bowl of tepid water arrived, but it was not warm enough and my feet HARDLY got a chance to soak making the soak useless. I don't know, end of the week (Sunday) late afternoon I got someone who was not so into providing a satisfying service?!? I will give them one more try and speak up about my needs

    I came here because of the stellar reviews and nail pics on Yelp and social media, but the service…read moreand quality of work were extremely disappointing and did not match my expectations. I do not recommend getting a Gel-X mani here. First, the recommendation I was given didn't make sense. My natural nails had grown out pretty long, so I asked for hard gel. Multiple staff members recommended Gel-X extensions instead for the design I wanted. My natural nails were only slightly shorter than my reference image, but I wanted to trust their expertise. I was wrong. I chose the shorter extension length and it ended up being the same length of my natural nail before the tech cut them, so the extensions added nothing and I unnecessarily had my nails cut. Second, the application quality doesn't match the price. There are ill-fitting corners throughout. Rather than sizing up to an extension that fit my nail bed, the tech filed down my side walls to force the smaller one to fit, which hurt. One extension on my index finger is visibly crooked. I pointed it out and was told it looked straight - looking at it again and in photos, it's clearly off-center. There's also still cured gel on my skin, which is a contact dermatitis risk. Third, the pricing was not transparent. I paid $115 for a Gel-X removal and Gel-X manicure. The pricing on the website and at check-in is confusing, and when I showed my inspiration photo up front, no one quoted me. The tech told me the price, $155, only after she had already started the design. I got it down to $115 by dropping the star flakes, which were $40 on their own. I want to pay techs fairly for their work, but $40 for star flakes isn't worth it. To be fair, there were genuine positives. I called to let them know I was running 10 minutes late and the staff were completely understanding about it. And when I asked for a swirl cat eye design, my tech told me upfront that it was above her skill level rather than overpromising. She still gave it a shot, and I really appreciated that honesty. Overall, I can't recommend this place. The quality of work and service don't match the price, and what frustrates me more is that the staff didn't listen to my questions and were quick to shut me down instead of working with me. Given the reviews here, I'll assume this isn't the standard, and that it's fixable.
