    24hr after manicure chipping and smudging on four nails
    Patricia D.

    Of the four times I've had a signature manicure here since the end of October, half of the time my manicure failed within hours of leaving the salon. Both times I had the same nail tech, June. Failure aside, both times the way she used the nail file on the *skin* around my nails and filed the nail extremely far down the sides was painful. She was also clipping at one of my nail quicks yesterday, which was also very unpleasant. The first time the manicure that she gave me failed was the day before Thanksgiving. I sat under the dryer for at least 30 minutes and my walk home took another 30 minutes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When I emailed the salon shortly thereafter as soon as I realized my nails had badly smudged and chipped, they offered to repair it the Saturday after the holiday, which I appreciated though I still felt embarrassed that my nails looked terrible when I had Thanksgiving dinner with my partner's family.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I changed the brand of polish on the redo, thinking it was maybe just that brand. A different nail tech did the redo. In between then and yesterday, I had a signature pedicure that lasted almost 3 weeks with almost zero chipping. Yesterday, I selected one of the Lakur polishes, which has performed well in general on the two non-prematurely failed manicures I had here. I sat under the dryer for 45 minutes in an effort to avoid failure and I was very careful with my hands when I got home another 30 minutes later. I noticed at the four hour mark when I went to shower that my left pinky nail had already smudged very badly. Today, less than 24hr later, 8 of 10 nails have chipping of varying degrees. I noticed yesterday when June was finishing my nails that she wiped the edges with polish remover, as she had to clean up a bunch of spots she got on my skin. I suspect she took the edge of the polish and top coat off when she did that. Luckily I bought this polish color during Black Friday, so I can kind of fix it at home. I won't be going back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I emailed the salon yesterday as soon as I noticed the failure but didn't hear back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I really wanted to like this place and support a local business in my neighborhood, but I can't keep lighting $55 on fire.

    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! [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    Self care Thursday!

    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.

    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!

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 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 fine, the biggest issue is the cost for value. The pedicure is $70 (with the quick…read moredry dazzle nail polish, why there's a $5 up-charge for a polish is alone a mystery). 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. My feet are drier than when I went in, I think it's because she didn't put lotion on after the scrub? However, there are limited options in Potetro, and they're always booked out, so it's working for them!

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.
