Nail Box ( San Francisco )

After seeing many ads for this place and seeing that it was their 3rd location in the Bay Area, I wanted to give it a try. The staff were very friendly and the studio is very comfortable but the product I received really did not live up to the expectation. I got a gel manicure on 1/24 and not even a week later the paint is already lifting. The shaping of my nails was also very sloppy and my nails were over-filed on the sides. At one point my right pointer finger nail was much longer than my left pointer finger so I asked if she could even out the length and my nail tech ended up cutting the right nail even shorter. On top of that, the paint was applied unevenly and did not reach the sides of some nails. My nail tech was also rough with my fingers and ended up cutting the side of my middle

Their Gel X nail techs are very detail oriented, and loved my nails. Started with stephanie and she was so good I was nervous to try another but Cici was also great. Will be coming back!!!

I recently visited Nail Box San Francisco soft opening for my first-ever pedicure, and I have to say it was a wonderful experience! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by friendly staff who made me feel welcome and comfortable. The salon itself is clean, modern, and beautifully decorated, with a cozy, relaxing atmosphere. My technician was professional, taking the time to ensure I was comfortable throughout the entire process. They offered me a beverage (a nice touch!). The pedicure itself was incredibly thorough. My feet have never felt so pampered – they took care of everything from exfoliating to cuticle care, and the massage was divine. By the end of the session, my feet looked and felt amazing – soft, refreshed, and polished to perfection. The whole experience was incredibly re

I got a gel manicure here and while the application itself looked fine, I had a really negative experience with the removal process. I came in with hard gel and the technician began removing it with a drill. At one point it became painful and I had to pull my hand away because it felt like my nails were being filed too thin. For context, my nails are normally very strong and I’ve never had issues with brittleness or breakage in the past. Since this appointment, though, my nails have been extremely brittle and have been breaking constantly. It’s been over a month and they still haven’t recovered. I’m essentially just waiting for the damage to fully grow out.

I had an amazing nail treatment at an incredibly affordable price! The experience was truly enjoyable, and the environment was spotless. The tools were impeccably maintained, making for a safe and top-quality manicure that left me feeling fantastic.
