    Our first time here for my sisters wedding nails. Sandy and Mama did not disappoint! It helps if you make an appointment ahead of time, since they're currently operating between the both of them. I'm sure walk ins are welcome as well, there just will most likely be a wait if someone is already in a chair. Sandy is an artist of her craft, Mama does excellent pedicures (mine came out so clean) and her eyebrow waxes are on point. The positive energy and welcomeness are present as soon as you walk in and I hope everyone gets atleast one set done here. Great for any occasion cus we're definitely coming back!!!

    Last week, I desperately needed a fill and also had a broken nail which looked very unhealthy. I have been working in SF and wanted to find a shop that's close by so I found this shop on Yelp. Sandy was my nail tech and she did an amazing job. Was super kind and friendly and a great listener. She soaked my nails and took the acrylics off before giving me a new set. I was shocked bc most nail shops peel them off. I was undecided on what I wanted but I knew I wanted my nails to be more healthy so I went with shorter nails and French tip set. I am so in love!!!! My nails feel 10 times better and healthy. The acrylics aren't thick and shaping is done nicely. I really recommend this business to anyone who live in SF. Sandy does not disappoint. Looking forward to my next fill! Thank you so much Sandy you're the best!!!!

    I came here because I didn't have time to go to my usual spot in San Bruno; definitely regretting it. Like I'm writing this in the Lyft right after leaving because that's how upset I am. Cindy cut herself, started bleeding and kept working. I said you need to get a band aid and she said she didn't have time. Tf? Then the other woman who painted my nails did a horrible job. The light used to dry my nails was too hot, and it scrunched up my polish. She kept trying to pressure me to use glitter polish and now I know why...to cover up the cheap polish they use. I'm hella upset and will for sure be getting a polish change at another place.

    Called in a couple days prior to make a reservation for 4. We walked in 10 minutes before our appointment time like they asked, and they didn't get to us until 15-20 minutes after the time promised. I got the mani/pedi combo for $29. I thought the massage portion for the mani and pedi were very short; probably because they were quite busy on a Saturday. I didn't feel too pampered because of this. However, they did a great job painting all my nails. The ladies were also friendly. The lady doing my toes kept sneezing and wiping her nose on her sleeve. She also coughed a few times on my feet. Not the most sanitary situation. They moved my friends and I aside to let all our nails dry. However, they left us alone after that. We were waiting for them to tell us it was okay to leave, as most nail places do, but they never did. I also understand that they prefer cash. However, the attitude change she had when I gave her my card was unwarranted. Also, she asked for total amount including tip when charging. Why couldn't I have written the tip myself on the receipt? There was a place for that! Parking is difficult in the area too, but it's across from Glen Park Bart so you can always take Bart. All in all, there are other competitive places for me. Decent due to their paint job and mani/pedi combo price tag! Will only be back if I'm in the area and really want my nails painted.

    I've been a Sunshine nails customer for the last year and this review is overdue! I only request Cindy for my acrylic set and fill- she is the BEST! (Photo attached) Kim usually does my pedicure and does a fantastic job at that. I'm a fan of the gel pedi which lasts forever and is the best for a pedi on the go! While this isn't the fanciest nail salon I have ever been to, the service is bar none and the nails are always great. Cindy takes care of her regulars and it shows, many folks have been going here for years.

    I went to get acrylics for the first time ever. I always had a job where I couldn't get them and I finally have a job where I can get them and they won't interfere. This was my first time coming here and my friend recommended it to me because she used to come here when she lived in the city. Such a cute little family owned shop and had a wonderful experience with Sandy and meeting her daughter Ellie! I will definitely be coming back

    I gave Sandy creative control and it's giving royal summer

    The quality of service at Sunshine Nails was exceptional. Nail technician listened to my request and then exceeded my expectations. Mother did my feet and did a great job. There is only two of them so be patient! Plan ahead And the outcome will be well worth it :)

    White tips, gel powder, with gel overlay.... Yes, I like them long and glamorous (this way I can shorten them when I want too ;)

    I'm leaving happy ;) they did a great job. Friendly, attentive and they want to make you happy. I once got thin, fiberglass powder nails done with white tips, and that's what I was looking for. Unfortunately they don't carry that. The fiberglass is a stronger powder than acrylic but very hard to find in the city. I had gel powder with gel overlay on my nails French white tips. I think they came out pretty good ;)

    This place doesn't even deserve one star! I understand that the employees are elderly but from getting my nails cut to everything after that was done poorly. Now I seen when the nail tech grabbed 2 towels from a basket that looks dirty but when I seen her wet it and put in the towel warmer I gave her the benefit of the doubt that the towels where clean. Once I seen another nail tech clean the chair and threw it in the same basket that the nail tech just had grabbed 2 towels to use on me I had to ask. Are the towels in the basket dirty? she said yes. I am discusted and wouldn't be surprised if they don't sanitize anything and it's something common

    I have been coming here since 2003 when the shop opened, and I've never strayed since. Cindy and her staff are all professional, sweet, and most importantly - thorough and stellar manicurists. They have accommodated me with my 6 year old daughter, friends, and "emergency" nail situations! The shop is very clean and comfortable. I've been getting gel manicures since they introduced them to me, and am always pleased with the application and removal process. Some places wrap nails in foil, but I prefer their soaking method. Takes less time and feels more comfortable. I now come in with a friend of mine once every few weeks and it's such a fun time together. Kim always chooses the right colors for me. Sometimes I have other ideas in my head but she always keeps me on track. She's honest and has never steered me wrong! The atmosphere is so friendly - I love walking in and seeing old friends from the neighborhood or chatting with customers and exchanging stories and tips. Sunshine makes me happy - bottom line. And when your a mom with limited "me time," you want that time to be spent feeling happy. They are the best!

    The new and improved shop!

    Sunshine Nails is such a little gem! I have been going here for years and here's why: -Prices are cheap! Mani/pedis are $24, eyebrow wax is $8, gel manicure is $25, gel mani/pedis are $40. Most places around the city are at least $30 for a mani/pedi. -They just renovated and added another spa chair. The shop is more efficiently set up so it feels roomier. No frills, but clean and simple. -Cindy and her ladies are so friendly. Sometimes they are busy and not as chatty, but I have never had a rude or unfriendly experience. Cindy always remembers whatever we talked about the last time I came in and she is genuinely interested in updates with me - she's not just asking questions to hear herself talk. -They are very thorough on cuticle care. I hate when manicurists speed through it because when they do, my nails do not look "polished." All of the manicurists are pretty good, but Spring and Cindy really do an excellent job on this. -The shop is generally busy during peak times, but I wouldn't want to go somewhere that wasn't busy during peak times. Only the good shops are busy (duh, people don't flock to the crappy places). Call in advance and Cindy will get you in. If you want them to spend extra time on you, don't go when there are tons of people who will be behind you in line. -They are right across the street from BART. -Tons of colors! Tons. Overall, this is a great little hidden spot and Cindy is a truly sweet person. She is a hardworking single mom who maintains a great attitude towards everything in her life. Oh and if you ask, you can order food from Viking Subs down the block (sandwiches and Vietnamese food) and they will walk it to you while you get your pedicure!

    Recently went to get nails done at Mia's again and was super happy with the results!…read more My friend and I made appointments for early in the morning and Mia was kind enough to slot us both in at the same time. Staff was very kind and made sure we were confirmation and accommodated for. We both shared reference pics for inspo and the results were exactly like the photos (if not better) Would highly recommend!

    I came to Mia's for a last minute Gel X extension and gel pedicure and I'm honestly so glad her. I…read moresaw some of the yelp reviews about her work and based on the photos, it was definitely my style, It's run by Mia herself and she was working alongside her mom and dad, which already made the space feel so warm and welcoming. They accepted my appointment the same day (called to schedule a couple hours beforehand) and took me in right before closing. I was even running a little late (rush hour) and they were so kind about it. They even helped me figure out parking and told me where the best spots were. Also, I brought my therapy dog with me and they were completely fine with it, which I really appreciated. For my pedicure, her mom took care of me and she was so gentle, especially with a toe hangnail that had been bothering me. She handled it carefully and made sure I wasn't in pain. It felt like actual care because she kept checking in with me without trying to get rid of all the cuticles willy nilly without consideration for breaking skin or cutting me at some other places i've been to, not just rushing through a service. After my toes, Mia got started on my Gel X set and had me in and out of the chair in about an hour, which is kind of insane for the work she produced. I showed her my inspo photos and she put together such a cute design, but also kept checking in with me throughout to make sure I liked everything. I never felt rushed or ignored. The pricing is very fair and you can tell Mia is really dedicated to her craft and knowledgeable about what she's doing. I'm so happy I found a nail tech I can go to whenever I'm back visiting the Bay. They're located across from SOTA High School and there's plenty of residential and retail parking across the salon, which makes it easy. Definitely coming back.

    So bummed. Have been going here for three years. My last three manicures were horrible, 4 layers,…read moreinexperienced tech, wouldn't dry, wrote to ask for a discount on next service and no response. Had a gel manicure peel off three fingers after 48 hours. Generally just room appears dirtier & dirtier each time I go and there's lots of conversation between techs that feels like judgement of clients. UPDATE: Owner personally contacted me and wants me to try again. I have a service scheduled in a couple days. I do think they care,. I'm giving it another try. UPDATE # 2: Went in for my complimentary classic mani/pedi. They were right on it: no waiting, right to business. Both the mani and pedi went well. I did have to ask for a drying machine for my mani, just to be sure it would dry. I'm grateful they offered me this service for free and I feel better about it all. They care and really tried. I left a big tip for both technicians and I will consider coming back again. I should ask for specific people if I do go back. I think it matters.

On multiple occasions, my appointments have started more than 30 minutes past the scheduled time. In addition, I have repeatedly booked appointments with specific technicians, only to arrive and be told they are unavailable - sometimes due to booking system issues, and other times because additional services were accepted with other clients. As a well-established business, this level of scheduling inconsistency should be better managed. While I consistently have positive experiences with Rachel and Delancy, my experiences with several other technicians have been unacceptable. There have been multiple instances of bleeding, uneven nail cutting, and poor polish application. I'm sharing this feedback because I've been a loyal customer for years and expect a higher and more consistent standard of service.
