The worst nail job I have ever received at a nail salon, ever. Wow, just speechless and not in a good way. I asked for a simple french ombre with glitter and somehow received a nail polish application that an 8 year old could have done better (Refer to attached pics). My nail tech (did not catch her name) spent a lot of time shaping and filing, nothing to criticized on the shaping. But other than that, everything else was horrible. After filing and shaping, she literally rushed the nail polish application. My friend that was with me was surprised I was done because she was sitting behind the nail tech and saw how she was doing my nails. She said it looked nowhere near done. Mind you, we were the first appointment of the day so it was not like they were rushing to leave. All in all, I won't be returning. read more

After living in San Francisco for four years, this is by far the best salon I've been to! They always make time for you and I've never had to wait when I have an appointment or call ahead unlike most salons. The prices are also great for San Francisco even cheaper if you pay with cash. They are very efficient and my nails always come out amazing, the pedicures are great too! Highly recommend read more

I truly cannot describe a better experience of getting your nails done! I came here after being consistently disappointed with my old salon, and not only was The Avenues Spa so attentive with prep--they were so fast!! I was in and out for a gel x refill in 45 minutes. The salon itself is very clean, and I appreciate that they didn't overbook so I wasn't waiting long at all. My gel x fill was $45 but $40 with cash. You cannot beat these prices in the city, and I will never go anywhere else! read more

They did an exceptional job, very team work oriented as I had both my mani and pedi done. I had many friends recommend this spot to me, many who get very detailed designed nails that always look amazing! They do not disappoint.

My friend and I decided to go get a manicure done after work yesterday because I had a lot of hang nails and Have not gotten one in a while . We arrived 20 min early our appointments but were taking care of right away . The workers are very nice , it was slow when we arrived but it soon got busy . A girl came in that had got her nails done on Monday to get one fixed because it chipped . They gladly fixed it no xtra charge applied . I got a regular nail polish manicure but by the time I got home my nails had chipped as well ! Idk if it is the base coat they use or it could have been the nail polish , as my friend's nails are still good and non chipped . I decided to look for the same color I got in my nails ,purchase it , and fix it myself . For this reason only although they are nice and I'm sure they would have fixed it for free as well , I would not be returning . Also please note I did dry them 20 minutes there and also avoided getting them wet . read more

I was quite impressed by this nail salon! My best friend and I stopped by on my birthday without any appointments. The staff was so nice to fit us in and we sat together in the massage chairs. They had a wide variety of colors (7 books for gel nails) and lots of different type of nail selection from regular, gel, and acrylic. I got a gel manicure and she got a gel pedicure. My nails were a little bit shorter than what I would have liked due to the nail tech shaping. I was still impressed because they did not start chipping until the 4th day. I will say that for the price of my nails ($30 for gel), which is an amazing price in the city! read more

They have 4 high quality massage chairs and 4 manicure stations. There is residential/street parking but it's limited. I luckily got a spot a block away. I gave them a heads up that my friend was going to be 30 min late to our appointment and they were not trippin about it. President's day wasn't a super busy day but they did get a constant stream of customers. I added on an eyebrow wax ($13) since I had to wait for her and took only about 5 min. Quick and it looks great. What I got done: CLASSIC EXPRESS PEDICURE $30 After my feet were in the water for about 2 min the nail tech started working on my cuticles. Another nail tech shaved off my gel fingernails then wrapped them in foil with acetone. I wish the massage was a bit longer than a minute but otherwise my nails turned out cute. I also had to walk from the massage chair to the manicure station barefoot as she took my sandals and other belongings over which was odd, but it was only like a 5 ft distance...still would've preferred putting my sandals on. THE ORANGE SPA MANICURE $40 (What's not in brackets is copied from their website) Warm bath prepared to soothe and relax your feet in the sea salt [Website update needed as your hands will be dipped in a small bowl of warm water which is what they mean as a bath.] Cuticles trimmed, gently shaped, and buffed [My nail tech went pretty hard on the sides of my fingers but the results were so pretty and precise with the shaping.] Thorough filing of calluses with a soap [I didn't have any calluses on my hands so this wasn't done] Exfoliating treatment with orange sugar scurb and hydrating mask. Warm towel wrap. Hot paraffin wax to soften skin. 10 minutes massage with lotion and aromatic oil. Finished with a polish of your choice [I got gel] Bathroom doubles as a storage closet and has a super cool looking hand dryer. Wish they had toilet seat covers. $125 in total and took an hour and a half for everything including repairing 3 of my nails. Appreciated the small talk with my nail tech and her attention to detail. Last note: They definitely aren't a money hungry business as she thought I was a young student and was worried I was spending too much on my nails lol. She asked if I had a special occasion and looked relieved when I confirmed it was a good reason to treat myself. read more

Two nails broke in less than 4 days! This has never happened to me before. It is a common issue according to other reviews. So disappointing I'll have to make another trip out there to ask them to fix it. Waste of time and money, quality nail salons use better glue that doesn't break after a few days for $100 with tip. I will be asking them to remove my nails and give me a refund so I can go somewhere else. read more

I have gone to other nail salons however I always come back to her because by far she has the best selection of color changes nail color over others and superb nail job.

Back again to leave a review for these amazing ladies. Kim always has something new for me to try and the quality of her work along with the rest of her team is top tier. Even after all these years I've been coming to her for my nails and toes the quality remains high. They also treat me like family and truly care about their customers. It doesn't get much better than that. They have everything from regular polish to gel or hard gel and acrylic as well as various different ways to do designs. Kim is super creative and always willing to attempt the designs I find on Pinterest or try something new. If you're looking for your new favorite nail spot, this is it! read more

Unfortunately this place is a 2 for me. The owner and staff were super kind and friendly but they rushed my dip nail extensions, didn't touch my cuticles, didn't shape them well at all after showing a picture of what I wanted and explaining my desired shape, didn't clean the residual dip product from under my nails when finished. This is after I had come in with a vision and color I wanted and they couldn't help me at all so I changed my nails to my basic go to option and it still wasn't great. When finished, I had small dents and marks on some of my nails and on a nude nail??? Very noticeable!! Overall it was sloppy with a lack of attention to detail. This is the second time I have come here and been extremely disappointed. I will say that my friends have had some good experiences here but sadly I haven't and for the price, I expect attention to detail, handling my nails and cuticles with care and solid creativity. Unfortunately I just don't think me and this place are a good match but I support others trying it out and wishing you good results. I also don't think I will be getting dip again given this experience. read more

I went in last night to get my nails done for my wedding and these may be the worst nails I have ever gotten. I called earlier in the week to make appointments for me and my bridesmaids but when we got there at 6pm, the salon was completely full. By the time they could service the 3 of us, it was close to their closing time and although the nail techs were nice, I felt like they rushed through our nails in order to get us out if there as fast as possible. On top of that, their website boasts a wedding discount that I did not receive. Not only are my nails lumpy and the shape is incredibly weird (and not what I asked for even after telling her I wanted them thinner), but less than half a day later one of my nails chipped. THESE ARE MY WEDDING NAILS . I am now not in town to have them fix the issue so I have to pay to go to another nail salon to fix this. This is not only a waste of money but a waste of time. The last thing I should be worried about is my nails. Will not be returning to this salon. read more

It's always such a pleasure to go the Avenue Spa, despite the long stressful year Kim remembered me as soon as I walked in. I got my pedicure and gel manicure done today and I've always done some type of design on my nails to be original and finding nail salon that go with my originality has been hard trust me (some would argue with me over the color I want saying another color would be better). I have my spot now for the next years to come Kim is amazing for design and listens to what I want. She does a very precise job I just love my nails.

She takes her time, explains everything clearly, and never tries to sell you on anything you don't need. Her approach is natural and grounded, and she creates an environment where you feel completely at ease. With a wide range of products, services and fair pricing, it's easy to find exactly what fits your needs. I always leave feeling taken care of and I book my next appointment before I walk out the door. I recommend City Laser SF wholeheartedly, especially Rena.

reWAXation

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!

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.

Haley Tsutsui at Skin Spirit has been incredible. I've seen her four times, and my partner has seen…read moreher twice, and we truly can't recommend her enough. She is calm, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. I'm someone who tends to faint during blood draws or shots, but every time I've gotten Dysport from Haley, she has known exactly how to help prevent that. She has a wonderful bedside manner and does a great job keeping me calm, comfortable, and distracted, so I don't work myself up. She's also very quick, and the treatment is nearly pain-free, which I imagine takes real skill. On top of that, her work looks so natural, which I really appreciate. The clinic itself is very clean, and every staff member I've interacted with has been kind, understanding, and professional. Pricing is on the higher side compared with some other places, but in my experience, you really get what you pay for. They also have a rewards program, which is a nice bonus. Everything about Skin Spirit has gone above and beyond!

I was so happy with my service that I booked a return appointment and a facial right away. I'm never one to instantly book follow ups, but my experience here was too great to not. Will be recommending to friends looking to get Botox in the area! You won't regret it.

I completely wrecked my skin barrier at…read moreone point trying to DIY my skincare with too many actives, and my skin was constantly irritated and reactive. Maria helped repair my skin with personalized skincare recommendations and treatments, and my skin already looks and feels so much better. Her product recommendations are amazing, which says a lot because most products used to leave my skin worse off than before. She's also worked with me through two pregnancies and always tailors everything to what's safe and appropriate for that stage, which I really appreciate. Navigating skincare during pregnancy can be such a struggle and it feels so good knowing my skin can still look great during this stage of life. I've done Ulthera with her and had a great experience. The treatment itself can be a little stingy, but the care and attention she provides makes the whole experience feel incredibly supportive and almost spa-like. I still have more I want to do (BBL and Sculptra next!), and I trust her completely. Her own skin is glowing which is the best proof she knows exactly what she's doing. I can't recommend Maria enough. Thank you Maria, for all of your help!

Upon stepping in, I can feel a sense of calm and relaxation. I've been here twice and enjoyed my…read morefacial both times. I did a Signature Facial with Cat the first time and loved how we started with a breathing exercise with oils to set the ambiance. This second time was with Naomi. I had the Gua Sha Facial. We started with LED lights for the arms and hands which was a first for me. Both times were so relaxing I fell asleep. Unfortunately for the second time it was during the gua sha (haha) so I don't remember most of that part. My face was glowing both times. I like how they include tip in the price. I knocked off a star because they charge a $10 credit card fee but the cost is too high to be carrying cash for it. I have bought a Gua sha tool from them, specifically to help with pressure points and migraines. I also got an attar balm recommended by my aesthetician to help with my dry patches on my cheek. I recommend coming here to treat yourself!

I've never had any facial or massage that made me so relaxed to the point where I could focus on nothing else, but Naomi changed that!! She did such an incredible job that I just couldn't feel distracted by anything else in my life - not even the thought of what I'd eat for lunch. Her technique and procedure was both relaxing and functional, which is a huge indicator of value for me. When the facial was over, I gasped because of how soft my skin felt (I came in with pretty dry skin)! One of the biggest reasons I booked at Monastery is because they make so many of their own products with very natural ingredients. Although I didn't intend to buy products that day, I ended up leaving with the Lapiz body oil and Rose cleansing oil. I am not a skin care person, but these products might be making me look forward to it more. Also of note: Monastery was incredibly clean and quiet. Minimal and elegant. I am absolutely going to book with Naomi again, and I really hope to bring my mom here sometime soon!!
