been coming here for over 2 years now! i see jennie for dip manicures & she is the absolute best - so kind, patient, detail-oriented, and truly talented! she does it all, i highly recommend her!
Really love this place. I didn’t used to get gel manicures because the removal usually takes a long time. However, this salon uses dremel tools (in addition to filing and soaking etc) which makes it so much faster!! I’ve gone several times for manicures and pedicures. I’ve always called ahead for a same-time walk in and it’s always worked out. They definitely do get busy though! This is now my go to salon. Amy is amazing, the first nail technician that I’ve had do gels without it being super thick. They look like normal polish and last two weeks! They also provide a free beverage when you arrive. Overall great service and my preference is quicker for nails so this place is perfect! They also only do cash tips, just as an FYI.
I’ve been searching for a nail place in San Francisco with attention to detail, gets me in and out quickly, great service, and doesn’t charge an arm and a leg. Nali nails hits all the marks. So happy I found them, wont be going anywhere else!
My wife and I come here regularly now. They got new chairs which are super nice! The women working there are all soooo good and friendly! I wish we started coming sooner tbh. Great vibes and great work!
walked in today, first time - very nice staff; warm, friendly and hospitable. treated my 7 yr old daughter so sweetly. we love our nails and we would make this our preferred salon if we lived here. thank you so much!!
Got a chance to drop in and try them. Regular manicures are $27 and they are efficiently quick, free drink menu too. I like how fast they were and the paint work has no gaps which is a plus, the dry time took the longest but it was to be expected.
I got a set of coffin acrylics that are nude with a bit of chrome and overall they were good. They are a little too round for a sleek coffin style, but I still like them. I also got a couple of cuts in my nail folds and under my nails that definitely stung pretty bad; but it’s rare to get a set without getting cut at least once so I wasn’t caught off guard or anything. I don’t really think this set was worth $130 ($120 with $10 tip). But otherwise, the customer service was great and I enjoyed my time there :) (Pictures were taken right after I got home from the salon)
