Nails

Went here for the first time since COVID (used to go regularly) and they remembered me, were super sweet, and had really great COVID protocols. Everyone masked (some double masks), privacy glass screens around each chair, paper over the chair, individual packs for tools, neck wrap had disposable wrap over it.. etc. They also had you sanitize and sign in with contact info (maybe for contact tracing?) When you arrive. I was really impressed and glad to see them able to operate so safely while still giving you a relaxing and perfect Mani/Pedi.

I want to preface this that I have never written a. Review before but I just felt like I had to share. I went here today and I was honestly just desperate for a manicure as my dip was chipping and my nails were chipping with them. I walked in and they made time for me which was actually really nice and I appreciated it. However the dip removal process was shocking, they took scissor clippers and tore the dip off my nails instead of filing them down or soaking them in acetone. I was really annoyed because the whole reason I went in to take them off rather than doing it myself was so that I could keep my nails as healthy as possible and they just tore them off along with a layer of my nail. Usually I get it removed with a lot more sensitivity. They also had very few dip colors to choose from which was fine but they were pretty low quality. Every time they went to wipe the excess powder off some of the powder on the nail would come off with it which I’ve never seen happen before. This caused some weird white spots when it came to layering it and they had to redo my thumb so now it’s like minorly thicker than the other nails. It was pretty overpriced for the service I got considering I didn’t even get cuticle care and the “removal” was something I could have done at home myself. I was pretty unsatisfied by the service but the people were nice and my nails actually did turn out *looking* good but now they’re probably more unhealthy than they should be underneath had I not gone here. I did end up tipping %15 because I felt like it was the right thing to do but at the end of the day I do feel like it was not worth the amount spent.

Very rude! I had an appointment with them. When I got there and said that I have an appointment it looked like they were surprised. There are a few nail technicians at that time. All of them were busy with client. The was no way they could take me at my appointment time. I wasn’t welcome at all. Bad hospitality. When I said again that I have an appointment. One of the nail technician replied to me “can’t you see that we are busy”. Horrible experience!

Got my first Brazilian here for a very good price and thorough service. A bit painful but I will be back and I'm sure my experience will improve as I get used to it! Edit: my second experience was professional and speedy, and much less painful. Very happy to have found this place.

A good pedicure for a good price. Thank you Henry!

I have been going to Golden Nails for years! What I love is the dynamic of the team and their hard work to make you feel comfortable and well taken care of. Personally I feel the environment space is really clean and updated to meet new health guidelines to protect us all. If you happen to be in the area, stop by and enjoy a back massage, pedicure, and nail design. Lots of options to choose from and customize your hands and feet to go with your liking! Thank you Golden Nails!:-)

This was the best nail shop I've been to in s.f wonderful service and thoughtful suggestions. The price was super good!!

Just has amazing treatment there 🤩 ladies were sweet as can be and I couldn't believe how reasonable her prices are. I even asked her to make sure she didn't forget anything. Definitely will return

I only let Tom do my nails. Lisa isn’t to friendly and at times can be really rude. If Tom isn’t there I walk right back out. He takes his time and make sure your nails is to your likings. My 4 stars is really just based on Tom service.

Love Lim job. Environment is great

I love this place for acrylics and design, my gf and I and drive all the way from the Lake Merritt area to get our nails done here!

Pretty cool clean nice people OK good direction on what I want

They were friendly and most of all clean.

Free Nail Fungus 🤢 I got an acrylic fill here only 2 times and ended up with fungus on 3 nails. They saw the fungus on the second visit and just put a new nail over it which was not a good idea. The fungus on the other 2 nails became visible after a few weeks

Been here twice, great experience both times—gel manicure and regular polish manicure. The salon is clean and the techs are really gentle when filing, trimming, etc.

Super fast, friendly service and my nails look soooo gooood

Ha, my lady, she works so hard and gives good services and good job.

Had shaping done by Andrea, who was super friendly, and they turned out so pretty! Ellen and all the staff were super nice and accommodating even though it was busy. Definitely coming back because they're pretty affordable too for acrylics (starts at $40!). Would recommend making an appointment though, it can get busy

My besties and I just discovered this place when we went to Baskin and Robbin for ice cream. They are newly open and remodeled. We decided to get pedicures. They did such an amazing job that we came back two weeks later to get our pedicures and fullsets. They came out stunning 😍. We finally found our go to nails salon.

Just gentle and wonderful describes my experience
