    The Nail Hall is THE place to get your nails done in San Francisco! I've been going to them for the last six years and they never disappoint. All of their nail colors are non toxic and they use LED lights. My nails have never felt healthier and I can do Gel back to back without taking a break since they feel so healthy. They also can do nail art and french tips! All nail techs are super professional and friendly and the owner Jen does a fabulous job with the vibes of the salon and is always so friendly and professional. Not to mention you can purchase a glass of wine, beer or bubbly on tap while you're at your appointment. Thank you NH for all my wonderful manicures & pedicures over the years!

    I wish I lived in the Bay Area still so I could come here monthly! I booked the gel manicure and upgraded to the signature gel manicure when I arrived. I chose The Nail Hall because of their non-toxic, vegan polishes. The atmosphere is very chic and colorful and Jen, the owner, was there to greet me and help me get settled when I arrived. Everyone was very friendly, and I relaxed with a CBD kombucha while I got my manicure. I'm glad I did the signature treatment with the aromatherapy exfoliating scrub. The polish was high quality and did not chip until day 14! I'm looking forward to coming back the next time I visit.

    I love the Nail Hall - the people, service, interiors, setup, non-toxic materials, everything. I haven't even come to the best part yet. They have alcohol on tap - wine, CBD kombucha, beer, and if you're craving something warm, they have hot tea too! I am a fan. They also offer subscription, and I am also hooked to that since it keeps me on a routine. The signature subscription basically is the cost of 2 signature manicures in a month, but big benefits of the subscription are you get 10% off on other services like pedicure, and that you get a free drink with each visit! Jen is lovely to talk to and I must compliment, has setup a great business model! The prices are higher than other salons but keep in mind that this is in the city, uses non-toxic products, and provide drinks - which no other nail salon does, so the higher price point is ok, especially if you live close by. I get regular manicure done and love the Nail paints and quality of Flora and J Hannah. The service is great, my favorite techs are Tram and Vicky, they take their time and do not hurry the process and are so nice to talk to. Highly recommend!

    Gel mani
    Krystina T.

    I had a great experience here, and I am piiiiiicky about my nails and need them to be done up for work. I got the gel mani with removal and simple nail art. My nail tech was Tram, who was pretty meticulous with my cuticles and shaping. I did jump in a few times to even out my shape but that's not anything abnormal for me! Cost for everything came out about $20-25 more than my typical spots, but for the vibe and non-toxic approach, esp being preggo rn, I thought it was worth it. As some other reviewers mentioned there aren't any soaking tubs or bowls even for the mani, but they do rely on some nice oils and products that do the job.

    I absolutely loved my experience. the gel mani came out 10/10! Unfortunately I snubbed my toe and messed up my pedi a couple of hours later ( wait like a whole day for it to really dry) but other than the dry, the pedi came out great too! They were very careful when taking my cuticles off which I always appreciate, and the staff were so nice! Making this my new nail spot! (100$ total)

    My mom and I love this place! Nice ambiance - love the music and decor! Staff are suuuuperpleasant and helpful. Love the signature gel mani-pedi, really gives my tired tips and toes the pampering they need. AND My nails are impeccable for like a month! PS My mom and I got married more than a month apart, we both got our nails done here before our wedding, they gave us champagne as bridal freebies!

    This nail shop has been a breath of fresh air since I discovered it a few months back. I have been coming regularly every two - three weeks for gel mani and pedicures. They use non toxic polish and the care taken is just so much more gentle than I have been used to at any other salon. It is a very great self care experience coming here.

    Nice fashionable spa with nice furniture and fixtures everywhere. I booked a gel manicure with nail art. I Am very happy with the outcome but it seems the nail technicians are maybe not quite as comfortable with "inspo" based original nail art and would rather you just bring in a picture if exactly what you want. I brought pics of artwork that I wanted the nails based on and at first Vi wasn't sure about that but I explained a little more and gave examples about how exactly the nails should look so she agreed. Ultimately she did an awesome job and got in to the art as she saw it coming together so did take some artistic license towards the end which I appreciated.

    I've been meaning to write this for a bit. I'm a nail biter and also pretty twitchy. This is why I literally never go to a nail salon. This place gave me my first ever salon gel manicure and ive worked with pretty much most of the nail techs. They are kind, meticulous and the vibes are serene. Highly recommend

    Super Posh! Awesome custom salts for soaking and restoration. My nail beds have never looked so healthy in years..nice environment and the pillows are awesome. Feels like you are at a luxury venue and the staff is the best in regards to their knowledge of non chemical based polishes along with using new utensils for my pedicure that looked like they had been auto laced. I will definitely be back soon. UPDATE:// YOU HAVE TO GIVE THE ALL NATURAL NAIL POLISH PLENTY OF TIME TO DRY! IT IS THE LONGEST LASTING NAIL POLISH I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED BUT IT TAKES A BIT LONGER TO DRY! TOTALLY WORTH THE WAIT! This nail salon has the best service and attention to detail that I have ever experienced in my life! Truly a relief to know there are businesses that truly care and take care of each and every client in a luxury way that you remember and can appreciate.

Under the previous owners, Laura and Danny, the salon felt welcoming and personal. Over the years, we got to know them and many of the people who worked there, and we brought the business a great deal of repeat business. Unfortunately, since they retired and sold the business to Lux SF2, my experiences have changed dramatically. My longtime technician is still wonderful, and I have nothing but positive things to say about her. Unfortunately, the overall atmosphere and customer service have gone downhill. The manager who now runs the salon consistently comes across as angry and unwelcoming. There is rarely a hello or any effort to make customers feel welcome, and it seems that the employees are uncomfortable around her. There is also another employee who has displayed the same type of behavior toward customers. The problems really came to a head when my partner was accidentally charged double for a service. He noticed the overcharge immediately and was told that it would be corrected and refunded within a day or so. It wasn't. After three phone calls over the course of 10 days, the money still had not been refunded. We ultimately let the matter go because he returned to the salon and received the pedicure he had already paid for. Instead of simply resolving the issue professionally, the manager became angry and raised her voice at my partner, insisting that the money had already been refunded when it had not. My partner eventually contacted the manager at their sister salon on Hayes Street to explain what had happened. Apparently, that made the situation even worse, because the manager then confronted him and became even more upset with him in the salon. Then came my experience last night. I had a punch card that had been started under the previous ownership. I had one punch remaining for a complimentary manicure. This card had already been punched by the current salon seven times out of ten, so they clearly had been honoring it. After receiving my manicure, I presented the card and was suddenly told that I had to pay an additional $5 because it was an "old" card from the previous owner. When I questioned this, I was told that they don't honor the old cards--even though they have continued punching mine and accepting it as valid. If the salon no longer intends to honor a loyalty program, that should have been clearly communicated to customers before they continued accepting and stamping those cards. The situation became even more uncomfortable when the male employee raised his voice at me in front of other customers and began bringing up my partner's refund issue from a month and a half earlier. I explained that the matter had already been dealt with, but he continued to argue with me and speak to me disrespectfully. Meanwhile, the manager, who was present and is supposedly running the salon, never stepped in to de-escalate the situation or address the behavior. I eventually left and went to the main Lux SF location up the street to speak with management. The manager there was apologetic, listened to what happened, and treated me with the professionalism and courtesy I would have expected from the salon in the first place. There are also growing concerns about cleanliness and sanitation that I have noticed during my recent visits. The chairs and workstations appear to have a layer of nail dust on them, and sanitizing the stations does not seem to be the priority it once was. I have also observed pedicure stations not being sprayed with what appeared to be bleach/disinfectant after each use. Given the nature of the services being provided, this is particularly concerning to me. I plan to contact the appropriate health department to report what I have observed and ask them to determine whether the salon is following the required sanitation procedures. It is incredibly disappointing to see a place that we supported for so many years change this much. Customers should not feel like they are walking into an environment where employees are angry, customers are spoken to disrespectfully, charges are inconsistent, or legitimate concerns are met with confrontation. A business cannot build a lasting customer base by treating people this way. In my opinion, if the current management continues to create an atmosphere of anger, disrespect, and distrust--and if customers feel they are being overcharged or treated unfairly whenever there is an opportunity to do so--the business will eventually lose the loyal customers who helped sustain it for years. I genuinely hope Lux SF2 takes these concerns seriously. There is still an opportunity to turn things around, but that starts with treating customers and employees with basic respect, being transparent about pricing and loyalty programs, properly addressing billing issues, and making cleanliness and sanitation a priority again.

    For the last five years, I was extremely lucky to have a very good pedicurist Elsa working across…read morethe street from me. I would visit her once every seven weeks like clockwork, as waiting longer usually meant some painful debridement on the big toe of my right foot. Elsa changed professions about ten days ago, leaving me to scramble to find someone in my area who could provide a similar quality of service in roughly the same price range. After some search engine trial-and-error, I finally got a Google page that listed three salons that offered a simple pedicure at a reasonable rate. The closest of these was Mani-Pedi Spa. Even though they take walk-ins, I called on Tuesday 9/22 and made an appointment for 11 am the following day. I was greeted by Gwen, who immediately pegged me as a guy who probably just wanted his nails clipped and nothing else. She walked me over to a wall display and asked me to choose a favorite nail color. It took me a few seconds to realize she was joking. (Good icebreaker, Gwen!) Anyway, the pedicure was not only thorough but absolutely painless. Granted, it took about 15 minutes longer than what I was used to, but I consider that a very reasonable tradeoff for a job done with the precision of a jeweler or a watchmaker. Once we were done, Gwen walked me to a lady at a desk at the back of the shop. That made it easy for me to hand the desk lady the pedicure fee and hand Gwen the tip at about the same time. I decided to wait a few days before posting my review, just to make sure there was no residual pain or swelling near the problem toe. That milestone has been cleared, and it looks like I now have a new regular pedicurist to see somewhere around November 11. Thanks, Gwen. Great job!

The quality of ingredients, time spent, lack of even a slight massage, and general feel of the spa doesn't warrant such a high price tag. That's the issue, if the prices were akin to what other spas charge, I'd rate this higher, but at $70 it's really hard to say this place is 5* quality.

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!

He assured me the outcome would be about 80% similar to the picture, since they wouldn't have the exact colors.

I just got their Lux manicure, which is their basic manicure that comes with a regular polish, nail cut, cuticle care, and a quick arm massage. My technician was very thorough. She recommended 3 coats, which I appreciated because other places will stop at 2, even if it looks thin. My nails take forever to dry, so when I smudged two of them trying to get my wallet, she fixed them right away. The couple of times I've been here, I've noticed that the vibes are pretty quiet. I remember falling asleep the first time I had my nails done here. If I was in one of the recliner seats at this most recent visit, I totally would have knocked out. At my first visit years ago, I remembered the technician putting this serum on my nails after the top coat that made it dry faster. She actually accidentally used it twice. I think that's why my nails lasted really long. However, the visits after that I noticed that they ended with just the top coat. I asked about it, but I don't think I was clear because I didn't get an answer. And btw, they now use tiny fans to dry the polish as opposed to that serum. But whatever serum they had before worked wonders and I wish they still did that. I just woke up from a nap and I must've put my hands underneath my head as I'm a side sleeper... there are imprints of my hair on my nails. It's not noticeable from afar but I was surprised to see it since the polish is dry. I'm not hopeful about how long the polish is going to last considering this. I think this is third or fourth time here and nothing is going to compare my first experience at this point. I'll probably come back whenever I need my nails done but I'm open to exploring other salons at this point.

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.
