My friend and I made an appointment close to closing time, and the team went above and beyond to make my nail art request come true. I gave my nail technician, Lee, a photo as inspiration, and she was able to replicate it! The whole staff is so kind and genuinely talented. I will definitely come back again!
I’m so happy with my gel manicure! Phuong did such a good job with my nail art request and everyone working there is so nice. I paid $42 for the manicure and $8 for the nail art (smiley faces on one nail on each hand) via Venmo, but they do give a small discount for paying with cash. Plus, they have a punch card!
Beautiful nails but severally over priced and theyll make fun of you to your Face if you ask for medium / long extensions and I mean they will continue to make fun of you through out the 2 + hours it will take to get them done including all the employees coming over and looking at talking about them, laughing, snickering, talking amongst themselves in different languages..which they did for no other customer. Lastly, less than 2 days after I got my nails done 2 broke.Edit: owner told me I have exaggerated stories instead of tying to fix the problem! Awful customer service skills.
Clean ✅Fair pricing ✅Good quality work ✅On top of that, this salon is always kind and accommodating to their clients. I enjoy coming here and would highly recommend them if you’re looking for a salon in the SF area.
Unfortunately, I was being treated very rudely by the assistant today. When I asked the difference between regular and gel, the assistant was very impatient and didnt explain it to me. I never thought that Im not experienced with gel and willing to learn more will be discriminated. She sighed many times, as if I was dumb and made me feel like a fool only because I didnt have gel before.Throughout the process, the assistant treated me with no patience at all. I asked for 2 colors, but because the assistant didnt understand English quite well, so she said you didnt tell me! and sighed again -- but I really communicated with her and just she didnt get it.Later, she asked me to put my hand in a towel and let the nail to dry -- there was a cotton on the towel and unfortunately it sticked with my nail. The assistant saw it and told me be careful! with a bad attitude, as if it was my fault. It was an extremely frustrated experience.I wouldnt go again as I dont want to be treated so rudely again. Wouldnt recommend to anyone.
This is a great nail salon. Its clean, the staff is friendly, they do a wonderful job and its in Hayes Valley. I always get the color dip for my nails and my husband and I get regular pedicures here.
Very unwelcoming service. Assistants are very rude. Do not recommend
What I wanted v what I received. A full price manicure for a sloppy, haphazard attempt at a simple design that cost over a hundred dollars for no clear reason. 2/10 would not recommend.Would have been better to have received no design than to have been mislead of the prowess of the nail artist.Won’t return.
Such a great Mani/Pedi experience! The staff was so nice, attentive and and the quality of my nails is perfect! The salon is super clean and the massage chair was one of the best :)
I’ve been here a few times and always have a good experience! Nice location in Hayes Valley and fancy massage chairs for pedis. Lien was really nice and fixed my nails when I didn’t wait long enough for them to dry 🥲
My technician did a great job and executed my request perfectly. I brought in some pictures from Pinterest for nail hair inspo and they helped me pick colors that would work well! Super impressed. Thank you ladies!!!
Love this place! The technicians are sweet, the place is clean (very COVID safe), and they have amazing, state of the art chairs.
Great great place. Friendly professional and did a great job
Made an appointment to get in at 4:30 for a gel mani-pedi. The place was Very Busy for such a small shop, only one chair open when I came in, and it seemed like every time a customer left there were three more at the door asking to get in. I had three different ladies who worked on me - one who did my toes from start to finish, one who prepped my nails, and one who painted them. They were fast, yet extremely thorough and effective. I walked in with a design already in mind, showed them the picture attached, and worked with the last lady to see the kinds of foil they had and what they could do. I got a matte finish, and am very pleased with the results!
All are so friendly.perfectionist
Ive been getting my nails done for years now and have experienced good and bad places. If youre looking for a place thatll design the most unique and elegant nails, then this place is it. One of the staff did an awesome job! She listened and did exactly what I wanted. This is now my new nail place.
Very clean, and greet you with kindnessDOES BEAUTIFUL WORK
Went today around 3pm and it was very busy but it’s Thursday, so that’s expected. The ladies were very nice and i got into a chair right away. Didn’t get her name but she did an amazing warm lotion pedicure.. the massage was the best part! She listened to my requests and i didn’t bleed which is always a plus.I would suggest booking an appointment and making it on time because they will fill your spot!
Sarah is so friendly! She is very fast and knows how to make you nails look the best! I would come back here for my nails every time! Price is also reasonable for the quality of work and the unique design. :)

Absolutely love it here, the staff is so nice! They do an amazing job every time!
Always the best! These women know what theyre doing and are super welcoming. Lauras the boss. Get a gel mani from her and youll know why.
I went to Creative Nails for the first time this past weekend and I was pleasantly surprised. Though it is a very small space the technicians and employees make a big difference in the vibe. Everyone was nice to us (my friend and I both got manicures) and the services were pretty great.Im quite pleased with my gel manicure and my friends regular mani looked pretty solid as well.I recommend taking cash as they offer cash discounts and they even have frequent customer punch cards so its worth becoming a regular!
Creative Nails Care is tiny, quaint, and has a really nice staff. They did a good job on a basic manicure and pedicure. My manicure lasted a week and my pedicure lasted for a month. The staff is friendly, and efficient. Cash or credit accepted. Reservations can be made but you can also walk in and wait.
You can not beat the price here. I usually come here for acrylic set and waxing. They do a great job.
I love it here. Service on Fridays can feel very impersonal as they are super busy (for good reasons), but came here any other day of the week, and youll know what Im talking about. Friendly staff, great selection of colors and different polish techniques. I always get the regular polish thats topped with a layer of gel. It lasts for a long time!
Great service
So happy that I found this place, it is so clean and relaxing!!! The staff there is very nice, I highly recommend this place if youre looking for a relaxing and peaceful salon.
Amazing spa. Really clean and my mani/pedi is perfect. Service was great and Im so glad I found my new spot!
My friend comes here all the time and Im so glad she told me about it. i dont live nearby but I might just come here to get my nails done often. The ladies are very nice and dont rush through your manicure at all, even on a Saturday afternoon! My friend tells me that the owner is very strict so thats why the ladies are all very careful and detailed with their work. My manicure lasted noticeably longer than those at other places. Definitely coming back!
SO NICE and my shellac survives to this day. Right beside SFCM, SFJAZZ, opera house, symphony Hall, Hayes street, and more - they fit me in at the last minute and stayed late to finish the job. I recommend to everyone!
They do great French tips, pink & white powder + light cured gel overlay.My nails look perfect for weeks!
Wonderful service. Very friendly and knowledgable. Im visiting from out of town but will definitely be back next time! If I lived in town I would be a regular for sure.
Pedicures are always deserved. Not alot of conversation but very relaxing. And of course over priced and unappreciative asians expecting and bother you to tip them big.
Horrible service and price changed three times while I was there. Customers were rude too...guess they learned it from the staff.
This salon called me after I told him I had acrylic nails and said they could fit me in so I drove there and walk in to a completely full salon and absolutely no knowledge of the phone call. This was a joke.
Great place, inexpensive, but they work well and quick. Can usually fit you in but its better to have an apt during busy hours.
These ladies are phenomenal- my girlfriends and I always bring champagne and show up late for our appointments and they still take us and give us great service! I always get gel mani and gel pedi and my pedicure lasts for at least a month and my nails 2-3 weeks depending on how complex my manicure is.i once showed up alone and they asked me if I was ok because I had no friend and no wine!!!!! They really take the time to get to know their customers and the prices are fair for what they offer. Everyone should go here,just not when I want to go ;-)
Great experience at Creative Nails Care this morning. Both my gel manicure and my pedicure were immaculate.
Awesome service and great selection of colors. Fabulous choice especially if you have acrylics and gel color- which is a dying art form.
Enjoy coming to Creative Nails Care during my lunch hour. One can drop in or simply make a quick RSVP call and youre in! They greet you with a smile. The fine gentleman has a great sense of humor and totally takes care of you immediately. If you pay cash for a mani it is only $1 dollar less than paying with a cc. Plus they have this buy 9 regular manis and get the 10th free. Clean and vibrant location!
The place seems to have a loyal clientele and a certain atmosphere.I felt uncomfortable and havent stayed.
Creative nail care and Laura are the best
I made a rezzie for my co worker and I for a Friday noon appointment. I was planning to skip lunch and get my nails done. Eating is overrated, right? LOL. Actually I was just in a desperate need for a mani.$20 for a regular french mani is decently priced in this neighborhood. The nail technician who did my nails worked diligently. However, I was not too happy with how she did my french mani. Maybe, french nails are not her strongest suit. She was sweet. She pulled down the sleeves of my shirt so I wont get cold while I wait for my nails to dry. She also asked if I wanted to read some magazines as well.This small nail salon is conveniently located near my work. And the nail tools are clean. And if you pay with cash, there is a small discount. Also, get a stamp card!
Nice job, nice people, massage chairs, thats what I like!
We walked in with no appointments and were able to get our pedicures right away. My only qualm was that I felt like they rushed through it- there wasnt much of a foot/leg massage either. The place was clean though, and they had an array of colors available.
Pretty basic, but got the job done
Poor execution. Most of my gel nails have chipped or are peeling after less than 2 weeks. :(
Great prices and very nice employees
Best job i have ever had!
Great work, great hospitality !
Nice in the paint
