Meghan Brown Its difficult for me to give an accurate review that one would assume summarizes my experience with the nail technician, her skills, and my evaluation. Unfortunately, like many other recent experiences Ive been going through, it seems as if theres an anonymous 3rd party contributing their basis and effecting my opinion. I tried going in without prior knowledge of the salon, but I could tell the technician had likely been doing her job for years and for the most part had an excellent set of skills. I think the salon was polished and provided a calming environment that was in alignment with nature.

Lindsay Purdom First time at this nail salon and will definitely become a regular here! They were thorough, kind, precise, and clean. Very reasonably priced as well - $40 for a gel manicure. I was in and out in about an hour.
EDIT: it’s been only 6 days and my manicure is starting to chip and peel. Good experience, but questionable longevity :/

Tricia Peck This was such a terrible awful experience! I have a 1 year old so getting to go out get a mani pedi is an ultra luxury. The women looked beyond disappointed I was there & no one smiled. Like I was a burden being there. The pedicure itself was ok and in the end looked good even with the bad attitudes and bad energy. The seats are weird and the water being carried made me feel like I was a major burden. My babysitter said they could stay longer so I asked for a manicure and a lip wax. The wax was so hot burned my lips. It’s been 6 days and my skin is still red bumpy and looks horrible. I’d normally not get a lip wax but was in a linch and could never imagine such terrible careless service! She didn’t get all the hair burned all around my mouth and now I have had terrible breakouts from the burn at a family wedding. My nails look awful and I paid over $150. I will never ever go back here and highly suggest no one else does either. One star should be negative stats. Careless over priced meaningless service awful. So sad no one in the bay area puts care and love into their work because it’s just all about money.

Afsaneh Pahlavan I had been coming here for over a year. On my last two mani and pedi they managed to trim my nails in a way that they boke off up to tip of my fingers and the gel mani started pealing off after 24 hr. I have ingrown toe nails and although every time they acted like they were cutting the ingrown edges, they would totally fail to give me relief from the pain and every time I ended up coming home and fixing the issue on my own.
So I stopped going for my nails. But my mistake was going back for full facial waxing.
The owner, at check out decided to over charge me by $5. I just called her and she said it was because she also waxed my nose!!!!
Last I checked my nose was a part of my face.
Avoid this place they are dishonest and their work if terrible at the most.

Suzy Hong Ugh, really wanted to like this place.
Cute and relaxing ambience, super nice ladies.
BUT! Dirty tools (no cleaning between clients) and uneven polish. We’ll see how they hold up next couple days.
For $27 for manicure, I at least expect them to have individually sterilized tools to use between clients. My polish coats were uneven (see pics on coverage). Cuticle lines are uneven. I could’ve done a better job myself at home or at a different salon down Church for 20 bucks.

Shannen Baie Their dip powder lasts forever and looks great. I go 3-4 weeks without chipping, cracking or the color changing. The salon is clean and relaxing. They have the latest high quality polish colors. The ladies are super professional and nice to chat with (or not if you just want to chill). This place gets super busy on the weekend, so make an appointment. Highly recommended.

P The manicurist here do a great job, and are detailed oriented. I came to get a manicure with my friend and we were both very pleased with the final result. My only complaint is that they didnt let me know about an up-charge until it was too late to back up. Overall they are very nice and I would recommend coming here. Make sure to make an appointment because they are very popular in the area.

Arielle Broussard I’ve been here multiple times and had great experiences in the past. However, my most recent visit was a huge disappointment. It only took 30 minutes for my gel nails which worried me but I thought they’d be fine. These are my gel nails after only 7 days. Two nails on my left hand also chipped after just 2 days. With so many salons in SF, I can’t go back to a place where my nails are this bad after only a week.

Angela Yang Amazing gel manicures in the Haight! The staff here is really nice and knowledgeable. I’ve gotten gel manicures with chrome powder, and they’ve turned out stunning! My gel manicure lasted me 3 weeks with no chipping or peeling. I’m sure it could have lasted longer but I wanted a refresh!
I especially appreciate that they are detail-oriented and efficient. The salon is clean and comfortable to sit in and very conveniently located. Definitely stop by for a manicure!

D BC Really nice service. they have a great selection of colors (both for regular and gel). I had a pedicure, and my only comment is that I left with still some rough skin on my feet.

Iryna Herasymenko It was…….AMAZING!
I have been looking to do pedicure for a long time,since my last experience at the nail salon was disappointing,I didn’t want to go to any…..However I was in need to do my pedicure and I came across this salon by accident and I was so happy.
The service that they ladies provide there is so amazing ,the foot massage and the hot stone massage ,and scrubbing plus on top of that they are very gentle and caring.
I recommend this salon if you need a mani and paid 10000000%.
They care that much that they wrap the wrapper with oil on top of my nails on the foot so I can go home and it won’t smudge(even tho the nail polish was dry)
Very nice and lovely ladies.

Their pedicures are amazing. They do the classic pedicure but include paraffin, hot stone and a hot towel! Their lotion is even warm when they massage. All of this for $30! They spent over an hour on my pedicure and did not miss a single detail! They are so accommodating too with schedules.

Rachel Schwartz Got a regular mani pedi ($55) here when I was in town visiting a friend. I was super grateful that they took me as a walk in and my experience was generally fine. Staff were all very friendly. Only downside is a regular mani pedi took 90 minutes because they had me sit and let my nails dry for 45 minutes. Luckily I had no where to go but that felt excessive!

Eve Munguia Ive been going to this place, most of the time the service is good even though they dont have variety of colors. The nail spas owner is a bit rough, so if you take on her as a manicurist, she will color your cuticles and leave your fingers very dry. She is always active and concerned about what is going on with the clients, which is excellent, but it is also detrimental for the customers with whom she works individually.
She should have more manicurists or not take too many reservations in order to provide a better experience.

Danielle I I’ve been a regular at this salon and feel compelled to address a recent review. The owners have a smart, beautiful, and extremely helpful little girl who loves to help out in the salon. Unfortunately, the reviewer visited on a day when this little girl brought in a rabbit. Having frequented this salon, I can assure you that this was an isolated incident. I’ve never seen the rabbit before, nor have I ever experienced disruptive noise from children.
Its disheartening to read a comment questioning the mothers attention to her child. I find it inspiring to witness a mother who skillfully balances her business with her parental responsibilities. The mother is always attentive, ensuring her daughter is respectful and engaged appropriately. This salon remains a professional and relaxing environment, and I look forward to my continued visits.

Lauren Forst This has to be the best salon I’ve been to in years, having lived around the country and visiting various salons. I live in South Bay now and it’s worth making the trip to Inner Sunset for this salon.
The technicians are knowledgeable and take their time; a gel pedicure, alone, will run you about 2 hours, and if you add a gel manicure you’ll have another technician work simultaneously on your hands. The technicians thoughtfully address concerns with callouses, ingrowns, etc as part of their standard pedicure. I leave feeling cared for, and like I got my money’s worth.

Julia Stark Tried this place for gel mani. Will probably try once more for a fair shot.
Here are my observations so far:
- gel removal process very fast
- good color options
- too many layers of gel (looks kinda bulbous on my nails)
- did not cover full nail with paint on ~3 nails
- strange nail shape & not clean file, had to fix when I got home
- already chipped one nail (fixed myself so not visible in photo)
Note I am very picky :)

Freedom Uninterrupted C.E.P It was a quick-service although from the moment I sat down my stylist was back and forth doing my hands or working with someone else through my service. I asked if she had time available and she should have said no if she wasnt finished working with the other people.
She kept leaving me to do somebody elses nails and whenever she came back to do my nails she sped through it and was not careful with her application. I ended up getting clear gel polish. I wasnt sure if I could be confident in getting anything else besides a solid color. It was really disappointing that my nails are not filed straight. When I tried to tell her she got frustrated and told me not to worry about it then filed nails I didnt even ask to be filed again just to create the same issue. They also painted the gel polish too high up which is why its hanging off my nailbed in the one photo.
Im sure the quality of work would be much better if she slowed down and didnt put too much on her plate.

Radha Jhatakia Service wasnt bad but it was so busy that the nail tech had to bounce back and forth between me and someone. Perhaps the lack of taking the time to do it led to my dip coming off in just 1.5 weeks.

Lauren Clayton The staff were incredibly kind and accommodating. They offered water, hot tea, and mango juice for free and worked fast! Their prices are incredibly affordable in comparison to other salons and they offer a wide variety of trending nail designs. Cannot recommend them enough!

Liana Trobaugh This place is extremely expensive for the bare minimum work. I went here with my friend hoping to get almond plain French tips and when I went there they put the longest square nails and send shaping them to almond would be 20$ and French tip would be 40$. So we decided to get plain white because color was also expensive and I asked to get them shortened at least sense I didn’t even want them and the lady was very rude and barely shortened them. Although they did have really good glue so when I tried to take them off at home they ripped my natural nail off. The final amount for me and my friend ended up almost being 300$ for barely nothing

Audrey Fremier Pretty good gel manicure so far. Fancy looking chairs for pedicures but the manicures are at a bar in what feels like unofficial seating spots. Lots of color options and was easy to get a same day appointment.

Jordan Aceves I had an amazing experience at Mac’s. My boyfriend and I called ahead at 6:15pm and asked if we could be taken before they close at 7:30pm. Not only did they say yes, they were READY for us when we arrived. We were offered green tea, water, juice, etc. and made my boyfriend comfortable (his first time getting a pedicure). The kind women who did our pedicures were amazing, they paid attention to detail and were VERY nice. They prefer cash for gratuity and conveniently have an ATM inside the shop. I will literally never go anywhere else, the service and kindness is top-tier and I always leave happy! The woman doing my pedicure even asked if it was okay that one nail was shorter than the rest due to a break! The hot stone massage was also a super nice addition to the whole experience. Thank you so much!

Alicia Quick "Great service with a fantastic range of color options—almost overwhelming, but in the best way! I was really impressed with the quick service and attention to detail. My nails needed a lot of work, and they made them look amazing. I also really appreciated the late-hour availability, as I get off work late. Im so happy with the results! Next time, Ill definitely book both a mani and pedi. Highly recommend!"

SunshiineMoonRise Was able to book this place online the day before. Scheduled a gel mani/ pedi and received wonderful service. Attention to detail to both treatments and great communication on choosing a pearl white color. Will definitely be back. Early weekday morning is always my best experience. Thanks ladies for being so kind. See you soon.

Sophie Duster I had an incredibly disappointing experience at Green Spa and Nails. I went in for dip powder manicure and left with a mess. 2 stars for great color selection, cleanliness, and friendly staff. I just wished they knew how to apply it to your nails properly. The dip is messily applied to the edges of nails and each nail is a different shape/size. I tried to say something to the tech during the experience, but was dismissed many times. I paid and left very frustrated after being at the salon for 2 hours which is long for this type of service. I called to see if I could speak to a manager and they told me they were on vacation for the next month. They kindly offered to redo my nails at another time, but I declined as Im weary about the quality of their services at this salon.
I really wanted to like this place since its so convenient, but take your money to the other nail salons in the area.
Update: One of the kind techs called and said she spoke to her manager and offered for me to come in and get them removed for a full refund. I requested a refund without needing to come back into the salon, which they denied. The gesture was nice, but Ill just consider this experience a loss on my part.

Arianne Linde I am extremely satisfied with the nail service and the exceptional attention I received.

Mary Elizabeth I’ve been going to this salon for nails and waxing for 5 months and they are the best! Every 3 weeks I get hard gel with tips and I’ve rarely had one break or chip. The staff is very kind and courteous and always gives top tier service! I recommend this salon to all my friends!

Karen L I love getting my nails done here with Caitlin. She is so kind and does an amazing job. I have done regular manicures, gel, and even gel-x. She always has great recommendations and does designs. I like her work and have been coming to her for my nail needs for over a year now. The salon is cute and clean always. Her prices are also very affordable.

Maria Vasina This is my new go to salon! I’ve decided to get extensions starting in March and have had some HORRIBLE experiences since then. One salon gave me acrylics instead of the gel extensions I asked for, leaving my nails even more brittle and damaged. Another did a (very expensive) set of gel x nails that literally started falling off the very next day and you still need to book months in advance. Cc was my saving grace. I believe Caitlin did my new set of gel x nails and she was just awesome. It’s been about a week and they still look great and none are damaged, broken or peeling off. She also said that they can do a fill for gel x nails until my natural nails grow out and then we can switch to hard gel. None of my previous salons offered or mentioned that filling in gel x was even possible. Love it and will be back!

Sravya Basvapatri Fast service, was able to accommodate walk-in on a Sunday evening. Did a gel manicure and it’s beautiful, but some of the nails are shaped unevenly, there’s a few bubbles and dust stuck in the polish. My nail also started bleeding during cuticle removal because it was a bit fast and rough, wish she’d been a bit more gentle.
Not sure I’d come back, but I like the finished product.

Ami Cai I had an amazing time!! All the women were extremely diligent in their work and had a very positive and friendly demeanor! I had just walked in and had the absolute best time getting my dream nails and given the best socializing from everyone being so kind. I had a very popular set of nails at GDC and had tons of people excited to go next year! Definitely am planning on coming back next year when I’m in town!! ^^)

Maureen Zhang First time here and I got a gel manicure on my natural nails plus three gel extensions on three broken nails. For transparency, it is $41 for a gel manicure with removal ($36 if you come in with bare nails), $15 for ombré, and $7 for the gel extensions. My total came out to be $63, which is not the cheapest but not a bad price either. You can get a loyalty stamp card and get a stamp for each cash payment of $30. Inside was small but clean, and they also offer a free drink menu (just sodas/sparkling water/water). Amy did my nails, and she was super quick and knowledgeable!
