    French tip with a twist .

    Love love love the service . They did beyond a great job. I for sure will be back. If you are in San Francisco CA . You should go by there and enjoy a nice quit peaceful time. The best place I've ever been to in the Bay Area hands down .

    The lady worked with me to deliver the off-white pearl finish. She made sure that it was the correct white and brought three shades to chose from. It is a quite salon and I like the soft electronic music playing in the background.

    We were in San Francisco for a friends birthday party and I desperately need to get a manicure and pedicure. I pulled up YELP and looked for a location that was relatively close by, open for the next few hours and had good reviews. I found Roses Heels. We arrived a little bit early and found parking across the street easily (paid parking). The location is on a corner and when we showed up, they kept the store front locked. Having been born and raised right outside of SF, I understand, especially for woman who are working alone, why they take this extra precaution. When we arrived at the door, they quickly validated who we were and let us in. It is medium size salon and doesn't have the fancy spa chairs, but I have to tell you, that was ok. Why, because the care that was taken to do my nails (mani and pedi) was so well done and with care, these woman are amazing! The salon is clean, and has a Asian decor that is comfortable and relaxing. The chairs are ones that are deep and you sink into - very comfortable. They had all the colors to chose from and while I did a French tip, they were able to discuss and match the pinkish base as well. I absolutely will visit this location again when I am back in town. If you are looking for a nail salon that truly cares about its customer, this is the place.

    Rosy Heels welcomed our bachelorette party with such welcoming arms! Both ladies were in the zone, working on our group of six people (mani/pedis). You can tell they care for their customers, both loyal and new!

    I almost wanted to gatekeep this nail salon, but after 3 years of coming here I decided to give them a much deserved review. I've been to every nail salon in the city and while I do love over-the-top nail designs, not one salon in this city can do gel nails without a super thick layer of gel. We've all been to "that one place" with the 1,000+ reviews, but they want you in and out, do not care about the health of your nails, and overcharge. Rosy Heels reminds me of the days where my mom would take me to the hole in the wall Asian nail shop with the sweetest ladies working there. Helen and Kim are those sweet ladies. They are wonderful and give you the most relaxing experience. I really enjoying coming to this shop because I know they're going to take great care of me. I have naturally long nails and after different nail shop totally ruined my healthy nails, Rosy Heels brought them back to life. It is a no frills salon, no giant massage chairs and they specialize in natural manicures and pedicures (no acrylic). When I say it's the best pedicure I've ever had I mean it's THE BEST. If you have an afternoon off and want to experience a self-care mani/pedi (and aren't in a rush ~ they really take their time) book an appt here!

    This place is unassuming! They don't have those massage chairs, they have a better cozier lounger. It's wide and cozy. I was there before close for a mani/pedi and they both turned out fabulous. The ambience is quiet and clean. And I might say the best pedicure I've ever had.

    Loved this color. It's a single coat of their "purple Pearl" color, as they call it

    I'm happily and eagerly handing over five stars because of how lovely the two owners of this place are, how affordable it is, and how pleasant the experience was overall. It is certainly no frills, but you get your nails done for a great deal, by really nice ladies. I've been to TOO many nail salons where people are talking crap about you while they work on your nails... and while I'm not one to be overly sensitive about these things, I have no intention of going to such places when spots like this exist. Thank you to both proprietors for taking good care of me, hyping up my color choice, and being so accommodating after I changed my mind two times. They also do waxing in the back room and if you try hard enough, are really great conversationalists and actually pretty funny/sassy duo.

    I really wanted to give 5/5 stars, but unfortunately my most recent visit was not up to their usual standard of quality. I've been to Rosy Heels four times now (three times in late 2019-early 2020 and most recently earlier this week, early 2022). Though the decor is not exactly modern, the salon itself is clean and not too cramped, and they currently have every other chair blocked off for COVID-19 distancing purposes. Staff were double masked and wore gloves for the entire time, which I appreciated. I called around 4:45 PM for a same-day appointment at 5:15 PM, and the salon was empty when I arrived at 5:10 PM. I've only ever gotten my nails done here, so I can't comment on the pedicure process. The nail prep treatment itself is very good; I like that they remove old gel nails with light dremeling and soaking with reusable nail clips (to hold the tissue in place), unlike foil like other salons use. The cuticle and nail prep is careful and meticulous. However, I only feel comfortable recommending their gel nail service (~$34), about which I have no complaints. The regular / non-gel nail polish application (~$24) was unfortunately very streaky and bumpy, with obvious air bubbles, and you can still see the scratches from the buffing underneath. I believe they use a polish brand called WAVE instead of your usual Essie or OPI, but I was quite disappointed with my most recent visit, especially since I'd had such a good impression of their services before. UPDATE: By Thursday night, two days later, the nail polish was already chipping at the edges. That said, I still tipped them 20% like usual, since they've done a good job in the past and I wouldn't want to tip any less to service workers in this time. I can't help but feel a little bummed though. TL;DR, go here for gel nails only, not regular nail polish! (There is not much parking in this area, as street parking can be difficult in SOMA. I'd recommend BART/MUNI, as it's walking distance from the Civic Center BART and several bus stops.)

    Kim was excellent with my nails and brought them back to life after a horrible experience at another salon.

    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!

    Alex knows what she's doing!! As a newbie I was nervous for my first betweenie wax, but her…read moreefficiency and speed got me through it. What really stood out was how much she cares about aftercare, not just the wax itself. Her skincare recommendations were genuinely thoughtful and helpful. I came back within four weeks for my second betweenie and it was so much easier the second time around. The free drinks and snacks are a huge plus and the whole space feels very clean. I'll be back soon, thank you, Alex!
