    Gel X fill
    Maureen Z.

    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!

    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

    Came for a mani and pedi walk in! The staff was such a vibe, they were very friendly and professional. I showed them pictures of what I wanted and I rarely had to ask to show the pictures. 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. I would go back again just because their service was so good.

    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!

    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 .

    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.

    I have been Kim's customer for over ten years now and every visit i love that she has lived her standard to perfection. Over the ten years she has been very supportive to my obsession with my color changes nail polish choices by adding more and more color choices to 94 shades. 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. She also is a very honest small business owner I have met and also who I respect very much I love her work and trust her professionalism with any nail questions I just know if I move out of San Francisco to San Jose I would still go back to her salon for sure Please go check out and start ur journey with her U shall enjoy

    Dip nails

    I've been coming to Kim for a dip manicure for years, and overall, it always has been a great experience! The staff is friendly and welcoming. Kim is very professional and took the time to explain each step of the dip process, which I appreciated. They had a wide selection of colors, and the finished product looked sleek and polished. My nails came out smooth and natural-looking, with just the right amount of thickness.

    My go to spot for mani pedi's! The shop owners are the best! The sweetest couple with such an amazing team. The atmosphere is always light and happy. Kim is the best! She always does my dip nails. I do dip on the regular as it has stayed on my nails the longest with my job that includes a lot of hand washing/dishes/dogs/cleaning. I use to get acrylics with fun glitters and designs all the time and still do for special occasions. I always leave happy!

    Dip manicure
    Paris A.

    I have been going to Avenues Spa for about a year and it's amazing! I always get a dip manicure with Kim and I am never disappointed. Not only do the nails look amazing every time, but she's so quick! Other nail places take 1-2 hours but I'm out of the chair in 20-40 minutes! The nail salon is right near a bus stop, so it's incredibly accessible. It always looks clean inside and the music is great!

    Arianna O.

    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!

    Allison G.

    I've definitely found my new spot in the city for acrylics! I wanted something fun and summery and luckily they had this perfect holographic seashell color. Kim made sure the nails looked exactly how I wanted them each step of the way, from length to shape to color. I absolutely love them! Can't wait to go back!

I felt completely confident in her hands, and I'm so happy with my results. My skin looks refreshed, healthy, and rejuvenated. I can't recommend Rena enough, especially if you have sensitive skin and want someone who genuinely takes the time to understand your skin and your goals. Five stars all around!

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!

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.
