Acrylic nails

I went here less than a week ago for gel extensions, but Sabrina applied acrylic without even asking if I was okay with it. She seemed moody the entire appointment and was very rough with my hands. She didn't clean my cuticles or properly prep my natural nails, which is probably why my nails are already lifting after only a few days. Some nails are also shorter than others and uneven, and the overall application was very careless. I had shown her the color I wanted at the beginning, but when it was time to polish she asked again because she had put the sample back while she was on her phone and seemed annoyed when I reminded her. I also got a gel pedicure from another technician who did an amazing job, so that part of my visit was great. However, I paid almost $150 for both services and expected much better quality for the nails. Overall, the service from Sabrina was horrible and I wouldn't recommend coming here unless it's just for a basic manicure or pedicure.

Nail art with polish
Melissa M.

Cannot recommend SUN more highly! Everyone is great, and Jenny in particular does absolutely incredible nail art - using polish, no less, which is my preference over gel but more difficult to work with. And my nails stay perfect for two weeks! So thrilled so have found SUN and Jenny.

I desperately needed a fill, but commute from the East Bay and usually get home after nail shops close. I was already at BART waiting for my train I decided to search nail salons near the station and was fortunate to find this place. When I called to see if I could make an appointment I was met with the kindest person that told me I could come in 15 minutes. Mai was the nail tech that attended me. She did an excellent job! I have not had service like that in a while. She offered tea & did everything to make my experience pleasurable from the gentle care , to the hand massage, and hot towel. I certainly came out of there better than I came in. I will certainly come back. I don't usually write reviews, but I was so pleased with the service and price I was compelled to take the time and write this review of a great find in the City!

Overall loved the outcome - they were very nice and professional and great nail color (172)!

My new manicure!

Jennie did a beautiful job!! And I love her vibe she is very sweet! She lets my dog hang out while she does my nails! And she always works so fast! Definitely ask for Jennie!!

Upon arriving late for my 5:30 appointment. I was greeted by the whole team with a smile on. It's my first time here and to my surprise the nail shop did not smell like a nail shop. It smelled like a spa with a very relaxing smoothing scent and smoothing music. The nail shop is very clean and modern looking. I was helped by Sabrina. She made sure I was comfortable the whole time and made sure my nails are to my liking. Sabrina, Thank you for getting my fingers and toes ready for Fall! And I'm so sorry for making you stay later than your scheduled shift. I LOVE it!

Jenny is the best. She takes her time and you can tell she cares. I wanted a glittery purple and she suggested some options so I'd leave happy. Def recommend her!

I stop by here on occasion. They're usually not super busy and take walk ins. With that being said, you never know what quality of work you're going to get. I've had two acrylic nails snap in half in the past two days and gel polish lift and chip off

Bad Pedicure. Horrible work.
Maegon V.

The service I got was a pedicure, I feel like the lady is just old and settled in her ways she feels she do the bare minimum. The look she gave me and told me to put Vaseline on my feet. Which I put Vaseline oil everyday on my feet. My regular nail tech always on point with exfoliation. And the problem is they charging gel pedicure $55. Her work was horrible with my service. I'm new to area and was hoping to find a convenient nail shop. But I see I have to go get them redone else where . Feel like I wasted money for today's service. Very disappointed. So I tip her $2 bucks which she shouldn't have gotten. My second time there and will be my last . The nail shop nice and tidy. No parking available for people who will need it.

Chrome nails

Jennie did a really good job! She was really precise, she used chrome and opi bubble bath to create this, ready for Easter!

New nail salon on Valencia and 14th. Convenient! Super bright and clean. Friendly staff and attentive. There's two TV's, WiFi accessible which is conveniently posted so you don't gotta ask. I love that. They offer you green tea too. The first time I came, the lady gave me a really good, long, leg and foot massage. That was literally my favorite part of the visit. I am currently sitting in the chair for my 2nd visit and hope that I get the same lengthy massage. I used to go to Minna nails down Guerrero and 17th and they were also great. But Simply is closer to home so this will be my go to from now on.....so I just politely and nonchalantly asked "you will still massage?" As she was trying to assist me roll my pant legs down and she nodded...and I said might as well just keep them rolled up since you will still massage. It's difficult to roll them back up. Wink! Lol! Thanks Simply!

Perfect rounded edges!
Ruth G.

I had time to kill in the Mission and walked past this place, so I thought I'd give them a try. First off, prices are clearly displayed outside so you can't be surprised by charges. Secondly, the place is BIG and airy, with clean white walls, nice stations for nails and a huge selection of polish. I did not have time for a pedicure but their chairs looked very comfortable and professional, wish I had had the time!! I wanted a dip change but due to the color change I needed my extensions out - they did not charge me extra for this full change and that was amazing. Last but not least they just opened and have a discount going but it won't last forever, so get going! Thank you to the staff for being so nice and professional with me. I wish I lived nearer and not outside the city because I'd use them for all my nail needs!

Sabrina S.

I've come here a couple times because the convenience but each time it's waste of money nails don't last. One time I asked for dip powder nails I chose a color. They didn't tell me it was gel and that it was extra do it it over the dip nail it came out to $75 I paid $85 not even 3 days later to popped off. I don't do anything physical for that to happen. I can back to get it fixed she said don't worry it free. I hope so? I've done dip powder before at another shop they last a month no issue. I noticed they don't prep your nail which is why it doesn't stay. Next time I go in for a gel manicure $45 paid $50 not even a week later already chipping!! Save your money and go somewhere else I don't mind spending more but prices don't match the quality!

Just moved out here in the city looking for a new "home" salon for myself. After trying many other…read moresalons around the neighborhood and before I found this place, nothing compares to the service they do here! First impressions was the location is nice, very local and the staff are all so friendly and accommodating. Very professional attitudes and attire along with great customer service. Their place just got renovated and it looks fancy and stunning. Every time I have went in for my nails they took great care of me and made sure I got what I wanted. I always look for Brittney and Sammi, they know how to shape and design my nails with ease and precision, it shows how much care they put into making their customers happy! Been back here about 3 times now and also brought my friend for a pedicure date. Definitely would recommend to check them out if you're in the area!

Do not go here. I paid nearly $100 for a fill that took an hour and 45 minutes and wasn't even done…read moreproperly. When I got home, I realized the polish was completely uneven and see-through as that he only did two coats. Throughout the process, I was nicked with the electric filing razor that he was using. He did not apologize nor did he thanked me for my generous tip of $15 for a subpar job. I requested a refund and they hung up on me even after I sent photos and video. I am so disappointed I'm going to have to have my nails completely redone wasting more money. Sloppy and unfriendly service. Avoid. Oh and I requested GEL X and they didn't tell me that they were doing hard gel which is completely different and this ruined my set. I only know because it took so long and he spent 45 minutes putting on a clear something he didn't even tell me about. What a frustrating experience.

I can bring in a vague idea or inspo pic and she somehow always executes it exactly how I imagined... if not better. Her skill set is super versatile, too, so whether I'm going simple or more detailed, chrome, 3D, fine lines, French tips... she can do it all and it always looks clean and intentional. She's also really efficient in the best way. Nothing ever feels rushed, but she works with a level of ease and confidence that makes the whole process feel seamless. And the durability is kind of unreal. I'm hard on my hands for my job and I've never had lifting, chipping, or breaks-- ever. That alone is rare, especially with this level of design. It's this mix of creativity and technical precision that's so hard to find, and why I keep coming back. So grateful to have found this spot... do yourself a favor, stop scrolling and BOOK IT!

I can tell it's well loved by the surrounding community because there were so many people who walked in and knew the staff by their first name. I walked here from the bus stop off Rhode Island and 16th. It was a short and pleasant 10min walk from where I started. It was flat until I passed by a Whole Foods when the journey was all uphill. Short of breath, I made it to the top of the hill and to my destination *phew. It was a nice quad and glute workout for sure. I was greeted by a friendly staff and led to a wall of nail polish (sometimes the choices are overwhelming). I chose a bright pink and sparkly OPI nail polish. It felt summery. I ended up feeling tense as I sat and eased my feet into warm water. Annie, my nail artist, told me to relax but my body wanted to do the opposite. I think I get tense when my toenails are being cut as if to anticipate pain, but when I felt comfortable with her technique, I started to relax. It was probably the most relaxed I've been all week. Annie was sweet and attentive. She also did a really good job removing my cuticles and massaging my calves. I needed it! It was a great way to end a stressful day at work. I would love to come back!

This place is amazing. Clean and organized with a lovely calm atmosphere. (View of the bay bridge!)…read moreThe pedicures I've gotten have been excellent - precise, gentle and surprisingly long lasting. They have a good selection of Dazzle Dry and although they charge a little more for it, it does seem to avoid chipping for a long time. Less of a good selection for OPI or other brands but the Dazzle seems worth it. Plus they have online booking. Highly recommend!

I always try to clearly explain the style I'm looking for, but during busy hours it often feels like my requests are dismissed rather than the technicians helping me find the closest available option. At times, I felt awkward trying to figure out what was possible on my own while the technician simply watched instead of assisting me. At my last visit, the Gel-X application felt especially rushed. There was excess glue left around my nails which looked messy and unprofessional. While the final design was nice, it ultimately was not what I had originally asked for. When I expressed disappointment prior to leaving, the technician later explained there had been a language barrier. However, this was never communicated during the time of service. Instead, I was repeatedly told "no" to the options I asked about. Afterward, I reviewed the salon's website and realized they actually did offer the exact style I wanted. What made me especially uncomfortable, though, was that the technician put their hands in my hair without asking first. That completely crossed a personal boundary and felt very disrespectful. Overall, I think this salon is fine for simple services, but if you're looking for detailed nail art or a more attentive customer experience, you may leave feeling frustrated.
