I’ve been going to PizzaPerfect nails for the past 8 months and I couldn’t be any more happier with Laurel’s work! Laurel truly cares about the nail condition and well-being of her clients, and will work to the best of her ability to make your crazy nail dreams come true.I’ve come to her with ideas and themes for my nails, and then we’ll come together to ricochet ideas back and forth. She’s open to ideas and willing to experiment. On top of it, she truly understands the concept of asymmetrical symmetrical nails, where every nail design is slightly different, but the overall theme is cohesive. The last time I saw this amount of craftsmanship was when I used to live in Japan. (She’s just that good!!)*Also - she has THE BEST arsenal of glitter, nail stickers, and embellishes. I’ve yet to see another nail artist with a nail supply this impressive.A lot of people are worried that gel over natural nails will over time weaken the nail’s natural enamel. But my nails are stronger than ever! A lot of people are surprised that my nails are my natural nails. Laurel’s precise and careful enough when removing old sets that my natural nails are never compromised.I know that I’m in good hands with Laurel and will continue to visit her for many years to come. Her dedication to her clients is out of this world. She truly is a gem of a nail artist in San Francisco and adds sparkle into the nail world.

I cannot say enough about how happy I am to have found Laurel! She is an incredible artist and human, and she is more knowledgable about taking care of natural nails than any other nail tech/artist Ive worked with. I have naturally thin nails, and she has kept my nails stronger and healthier than Ive ever seen them. She really cares about your nails in the long run, but now the fun stuff: her manicures are so fun and creative. Youre encouraged to bring your ideas and inspirations, and youll collaborate on how this will come into fruition onto your nails. If youre a creative/visual person, youll dig this. And also, her manicures easily last me 4 weeks with no chipping, lifting, nothing. I use my hands a lot in gardening, cooking, and weightlifting, and Im a bit of a klutz, and Ive never had a nail mishap. Laurel has a very sweet little pup who sometimes hangs out in the studio, and hes extremely well-behaved. Hell chill with you if youre down with it, or hes perfectly happy doing his own thing. The studio is always immaculately clean and sanitized.

Ive gone to Laurel a few times now and I always leave really happy! She is thorough, patient, and really creative. My nails have stayed healthy through various gel manicures and the art always gets lots of compliments~ Id recommend her to anyone interested in nail art or gel manicures.

I’ve gone to Laurel for my nails three times now and have had an awesome experience each time! She is super talented with her nail art, meticulous, and incredibly knowledgeable about nail health and mani maintenance. I never thought I could have long nails but the gel has actually strengthened my nails and with a bit of mindfulness, my nails are long and healthy! Each time I’ve gone I’ve given her a pic for inspiration and she has done a great job interpreting it and giving it her own spin. My nails looked amazing each now. Laurel is also friendly, easy going and walks you through the entire process which was great for a nail art newbie like me. And my nails have looked great 3-4 weeks each time. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to keep their nails looking unique and feeling healthy!

Absolutely loved Laurel!! She did my wedding nails for me two months ago and I went to see her all the way from Marin county. She was incredibly professional, diligent and made sure my nails were perfect for my big day. She has tons in her kit and seems to be able to literally create anything your heart desires. She’s a must if you’re able to get to the mission ❤️

Laurel is the absolutely best for many reasons, not the least of which is that she is a fabulously talented artist. Whatever concepts I come in with, she finds ways to make them even more enchanting and amazing- I always leave with beautiful nails that are beyond my wildest dreams. People literally stop me in the street to ask where Ive gotten my nails done.In addition, Laurel is kind and professional. She will guide you through the process of getting your art done, as well as explaining all of the different steps that she takes to keep your nails happy and healthy. Ive never felt anything but please and supported by my experiences with Laurel.On top of all of this, Laurel just received the title of SF Weeklys Best Nail Artist 2019. How can you top that?

Wow what a talented Nail Artist! Laurel is chill and sweet and fun to talk to. She keeps up with the trends and has even studied nail art in Japan! Her products are really nice and the nails she does really last. I highly recommend booking her!

I came in for one appointment last year and forgot to write a review. The nails were not what I expected especially for what I paid. She couldn’t shape my nails how I wanted and I literally had to shape them as soon as I left.. shaping is the foundation to your art. It should be really important to build a great foundation before building on top. I would have given her another chance but I am allergic to dogs and her dog was very needy and annoying during our appointment. She even had to go take her dog outside right in the middle of what we were doing. I found this very unprofessional. This dog sheds like crazy and will cry and whine and jump in your lap. This would be great for a dog lover but not everyone feels the same way. When I asked her if she always has her dog here, she started going on a rant about how her dog is “more well behaved than most children” which was not so true. Plus I left with hair all over my expensive clothes.

Laurel is a great nail artist! She’s super nice and you’ll come out with a great set. It’s also awesome when her dog Poe is around! He loves to hangout on your lap while your getting your set done.Laurel is great and even other artists in the area know about her expertise and have learned techniques from her.

Laurel is honestly *fantastic*, and easily the best nail artist I’ve been to in SF. I’ve gone to her to have my nails done a couple of times, and each time she knocked it out of the park! She’s so meticulous and is open to any and all requests you might have. If I had a more normal work schedule, I would go to her all the time!

Review №12

Laurel is a very mediocre artist. She can do more than the average nail salon but her style is not for everyone. She’s been fired from multiple amazing nail art salons like Sparkle Sf and Pamper Nail Gallery for lacking skill and damaging nail beds. If you want more than the average nail salon, go to her, but only if you can’t get in with anyone better. Her nails usually come out very lumpy and unevenly shaped like most of the reviews have said. Make sure to tell her exactly what you want because if you let her freestyle it will come out a hot mess that looks nothing like what you asked for. She was “trained in Japan” yet her work looks nothing like a REAL Japanese artist. Keep your expectations low when going to this one.

I loved my experience with Laurel and probably would have continued coming to her but she moved to sf and thats too far for me in the East Bay. She was professional friendly had a dog that was equally cool. She does amazing art AND helps turn your nail Dreams into reality!!

I don’t support businesses that beg for good reviews. If people like your work, you’ll get the good reviews. If not, you’ll get bad reviews. If you can’t handle the bad reviews then get off reviewer sites or be better at your job. Asking and begging followers for good reviews gives consumers a false impression of the service you’ll provide.

Laurel takes wonderful care of my fragile nails. I did acrylic for years and my nails have never recovered. With Laurel’s gel set, my natural nails have flourished! She is truly dedicated to the craft of giving you healthy beautiful nails! She has plenty of gel colors to choose from, and tons of fun stickers, stamps, and glitters to spice things up. Really responsive when i had questions on the styleseat app.

I’ve never been so pleased with my nail designs. I usually ask for complex designs, and Laurel does an excellent job. She can free hand any design I request. Glad I finally found a place that does amazing gel designs.

I cannot say enough positive things about Pizza Perfeft nails! Laurel is so very talented and kind/ fun/ easy to talk to! Her experience really shows in her work and overall professional tone 😊 I’m ALWAYS getting compliments on my nails after I see her. A common reaction from folks is, ‘I can’t belive these are your real nails!’ And the reason being is that she offers an optional strengthening treatment before her gel art. I reeeeally appreciate this because I have a fairly active/ clumsy lifestyle and this makes all the difference!If you want super cute, unique and healthy nails, make an appointment!

Review №18

Nails came out super lumpy and gross. She’s also not Japanese although advertised “Japanese nail art” what does that even mean? I studied abroad does that make me European now? Would not recommend. Gives Japanese nail art a bad name. She’s just trying to capitalize off of someone else’s culture like Americans love to do

This is the only place I will get my eyebrows done! Lan is the best at waxing. If you are super picky and need your brows done to perfection go to her!

I really liked laurel, but the nail art wasn’t how I expected. I asked for purple, but once the polished dried it turned blue.

Loved my nails and the experience of booking with ppn! I had to cancel my appointment two days before my wedding and Laurel came in early the next day to take care of me so my nails were perfect. Highly recommended.
