I got my nails done and they look as if they were grown. They didnt paint all the nail and left bubbles. I paid 40 dolars for this. They rushed the whole process.

The end product is always good and their gel manicures often last for weeks! Bonus: they are always playing Great British Bake Off.However, the reason this a 3 star place for me is because they dont remove gel polish properly. Twice now Ive been there for gel manicure and removal and theyve only let the acetone sit for maybe a minute. This doesnt allow the gel polish to break down adequately and ruins your nails as the polish is scraped off.If the management is reading this, please have your technicians wait at least 5 minutes for the acetone to break up the gel polish before it is scraped off. Otherwise youll ruin your clients nails.

Always stellar service and attention to detail. Rarely crowded. And you get to enjoy a complimentary drink while watching British Baking Show.

Winnie and her team are great! Place is super clean and professional. Plus, they really listen to you and take their time to get it right the first time. We go here at least once a month. If you want the best, this is your place. Make an appointment today and pamper yourself! :)

Wonderful nail spot. Free tea or mimosa, everyone is super friendly, and there is ways something fun to watch on TV. Plus, I really like how my nails look and they have the less toxic gel polish available. One star off because the prices are a bit high, even for SF. Gel mani and regular pedi can cost $60-80 depending on how much you tip. Ive been to other places where the same amount would get you more of a premium service or add ons or something.

I’m really surprised this place has such high reviews. 2 stars because the women who worked there were incredibly nice. However, the manicure ewas really overpriced ($20). They cut my pinkies because they buffed them instead of my nail (I needed a bandaid) and did a really shoddy job painting my nails. I had to ask her to redo both thumbs and realized the pointer finger was messed up when I got home. The short massage was so painful she turned both my arms red. Also, this place is more designed for pedicures than manicures. There is not even a table at the manicure station.

Bi-racial couple was discriminated in this salon! I called to ask if we could come in for 2 pedicures. The lady on the phone said please come - we get there we werent dressed to impress we were about to be on a flight for 10 hours! Since it was the 1st of the month, the salon assumed that we were their type customers. We were offered water and tea which my partner ask for water and she was given one that was already opened. When she brought it up to the lady she rolled her eyes and snatched the water to go get her another one. When the other customers came in which were dressed to impress the worker offered them water or mimosa! I totally get that it is a business and you have to appeal to the customer but I got a eye brow waxing for $16 I asked for a cleaning and shaped. Which I got a clean but there was shaping involved the lady acted like she was nervous to touch some brown skin or. in a hurry to rush us out of the salon before too many customers saw us!

I think I have found my new spot for Mani/pedis. I have been working so much lately that I have not been able to get a Mani/pedi and I was looking so bad in the foot and hand area.......the two ladies I had working on me turned it all around. It was relaxing and they did a great job. I will be there again!!!!

Everyone at the salon is incredibly nice and friendly, but the manicure I received is really poor quality. I got a gel manicure, and after only 3 days the nails are already chipping, plus there are these weird bubbles in the polish and I didnt notice it until I left, but threads from the nail polish brush were painted into the nail. If you go make sure to thoroughly check the quality of the manicure before you leave.

My favourite nail and waxing parlour on market street. Clean, spacious, fast service with lots of nail colours to choose from. I love the temperature changing gelish polish colour. Their Brazilian waxing is fast and quite painless.

I’ve always had a great experience here; note that cash is preferred and there are ATMs in the nearest Safeway, among other places.

I was in the city and in need of a mani/pedi. Rather than spend the $70 for one at a place close by, I opted to go a bit farther to this location for the more reasonable prices I saw online. Im so glad I did!They accepted me as a walk-in client with no wait time, had a wide selection of colors to choose from, the atmosphere was simple and clean, and the ladies who did my nails did a fantastic job.At other salons, they want me out of the chair ASAP which results in me messing up my nails shortly after due to them not being completely dry, but not here. They didnt rush me out, but instead put my hands/feet under an air dryer and allowed time for the polish to dry completely, which of course made all the difference in the world.They really had attention to detail and pampered me the whole time. The experience was relaxing and my nails look AWESOME! I would def recommend this spa.

Review №21

You get what you pay for I guess. Very cheap prices ($14 for a manicure) but the quality is not good. The manicurist rushed through, even on a mid week afternoon when I was the only one in the salon, to the point of roughly filing fingertips (accidentally of course but it still hurts!) and the top coat was slapdash affair, leaving me with clear varnish all around my nail beds. Not a relaxing experience. If you can afford to, go elsewhere.

Rainbow Nail Spa is conveniently located within walking distance of my house, which is awesome. Since almost every pay parking lot in this area has been turned into condos, I highly suggest taking MUNI Metro to Van Ness station, or ride the F Market if youre visiting from other neighborhoods.Now, this place has service prices that reflect a few different things - Location and quality of service. Location is super central. Their rent probably goes up by the day. If youre thrifty like me, you might say $28 + tip for a pedi is high. As a thrifty person, Ill tell you to shut up and pay the lady, and tip well.The shop is super clean, and the quality of service is fast. My polish lasts forever, which is important, as I rarely have time for beauty tratments. BONUS: They are open 7 days a week. 10am -7pm every day, I believe. So when you need your nails did on a Sunday, and every other spot is closed, now you know where to go!They also do facial waxing services if youre so inclined. My fiance gets his brows done here, and they always look good, but not overly done. I dont have enough eyebrows to justify waxing, so I cant comment on this service for the ladies.

Rainbow nails was great. For the same price as a mani pedi in other salons, you get a mani and parafin wax pedi. They also give you free mimosas while they do your nails! Clean place, fast service.
