Juicy Nails

I’ve lived around the corner from this place for awhile now, and finally just tried it. I’d wish I’d gone sooner! The décor, location, feels, and service is on point. They have the comfiest chairs here and it’s so relaxing, nestled on a charming corner where the cable cars pass by.
I got a gel manicure and my nails are beautifully rounded the way I like, and she was really delicate at handling my nails. I’ll definitely be back! Come here if you want great service and some frills.

Very cute little spot. I wouldn’t have seen it if I didn’t know it was there, expertly hidden on the corner of Jackson and mason.
The women who work here are very sweet and porfessional. The decorum is very «living roo
m» as you sit in recliner chairs and they bring a large bowl of water to you to soak your feet/​hands. They will offer you hot tea or wine when you come. I got a pedicure with my boyfriend and they both came out great.
I would definitely come again.

Fantastic place! Staff is so nice and attentive. The gel manicure I got was incredible detailed and perfect precision. The massage was relaxing and well done. Great selection. Of gel colors; I did not have an appointment and only waited ten minutes for my mani! Highly recommend this place!

Lynn is amazing. She gave me the most perfect gel french mani I have ever had, and they lasted 4 weeks without chipping. She didn’t use any guidelines and made the perfect french. She is truly a master at this craft.
The ambiance and location is nice for SF. The music is relaxing and chairs are super comfy. It feels like home! I’m obsessed :)

The technicians at this salon are AMAZING. The attention to detail, comfort and service is really top notch without being over the top. I came in with an appointment (must-​have) and wanted to get some nail line art done, which I hadn’t done before. I was blown away at how amazing it came out! I also had a pedicure done and that was completed just as meticulously at my manicure. It’s been almost two weeks and both still look amazing. I live in Marin and I am going to start treking into the city just to go to this place for nails. It’s well worth it. The price was super reasonable to boot. Hands down.

OMG I LOVE this place! Was looking for a nice nail salon to take my friend who was getting married the next day. They couldn’t take us immediately so we came back and the manager/​owner (?) worked on my nails for a bit and then switched to another person but they were both FANTASTIC! I got the cutest beige/​pink color topped w/​a peachish glitter and the results were absolutely fabulous. The place is clean, I love the décor, and on top of the excellent skills, the employees are very sweet as well. I will definitely come back when I am in town!

Went in for a gel manicure. I thought the pricing was pretty standard until I realized they charged for gel removal. When I asked if they could do a design the girl said they normally couldn’t, but would make an exception because the design I wanted was so simple (basically 3 lines connected). She told me it would be $ 12 extra. On top of the basic fee and removal fee. An extra $ 12 for a simple design on 2 nails? Ridiculous. This place is consistently overpriced for the quality. I would much rather wait for an appointment at Tootsie Toes on Polk.

Lynn and all the girls at Juicy Nails are amazing! They always do a great job. Highly recommended :)

Yaaay love this adorable nail shop. I get my nails done every 3 weeks, obsessive I know, but I haven’t found THE place yet. That is until I found Juicy! The women are incredibly sweet and do a fantastic top notch job on everything from even color, even filed nails, cuticles and above all… massage.
They go above and beyond as well. I got white gel polish and the next day something I was wearing dyed the polish black! I had no clue what had happened but I went in the next day they were open and got fixed right up. They were so understanding and helpful in fixing me up pretty again.
Can’t wait for my next mani pedi with the ladies at Juicy!

My favorite salon in the city. Took me 2.5 years to find, but I’ll never switch. Clean, attentive, and obsessed with complete perfection. My gels last over two weeks regularly!

2.5 stars
This review is for their gel nails ($ 30)
I was leaving for a trip Wednesday and was trying to get all my appointments in. I called late Tuesday to see if they had any last minute openings and they were able to fit me in accordingly. They have a wide range of gel colors and I didn’t feel rushed when I needed more time to make up my mind. The girl doing my nails was sweet but she missed a couple of spots when cutting my cuticles and I had to point it out to her. I wasn’t entirely happy with the outcome because it still looked like I had dry skin all around my nail:/
Unfortunately by Saturday (still on vacay so I wasn’t washing dishing or doing anything crazy), the polish chipped on my thumb and it looked like I was due for another mani already from all the dry skin/​cuticles! This is my first time getting gel nails from here but I’ve had gel nails before from other places and it stayed chip free and shiny for over a month while working at a hands on job so imagine my disappointment when I saw a chip after 4 days!
Overall, I expected a little more but this place is clean and feels relaxing so I wouldn’t be against trying this spot out again but maybe skip on the gels.

I had an OK experience here. I enjoyed the ambiance with the cozy chic interior but unfortunately my french manicure was pretty shaky. Literally. The girl seemed really stressed out the whole time getting the lines straight and that really stressed ME out. I was disappointed with the result overall.

Prices are good :$ 15 mani/​$ 25 pedi
Massage: Michelle did an amazing for massage
Décor: very pleasant, homey vibe with beautiful lighting
Customer service: great! They had 2 last minute appointments on a Saturday and made time for us. They offer water and tea
Hygiene: they use silver basins!!!
Weakness: my cousin noticed they refill their nail polish bottles with different colors for example OPI «Got a date to knight» was a pale cream color when in earlier the color is a deep pink

tl;dr The best pedicure I’ve ever had
This morning I got a lavender pedicure ($ 45) with Michelle and it was heavenly. I have nothing negative to say.
Lavender pedicure included:
— Soaking feet in a bowl of dried lavender
— Carefully trimming and filing nails plus the normal buffing, etc.
— Exfoliating scrub
— Mask for a few minutes and warm towel to remove
— ~10 minute massage
Love:
— Offered water or tea upon entering
— Super comfy chairs and pillows (see pic). You are given a perfectly convenient pillow to hold in your lap.
— Adorable décor
— Everyone is very nice
— I was given the option to let my toes airdry and I didn’t feel rushed at all.
— The best pedicure I’ve ever had of all high end spas and low end nail places.

Lien and her team are awesome! Love this place and definitely coming back.
Love:
Décor is so bright and cozy
Friendly people
Prices are reasonable ($ 15 for a mani! And $ 30 for gel mani)
Meh:
Kinda hard to find parking… you’re better off taking Muni or walking there. There is a Chinese hospital parking garage on Powell and Jackson. $ 3 for ½hr.
Advice: make an appt! They’re booked most of the time.

I had a wonderful experience at this salon! I called ahead for a gel manicure with nail art and a pedicure, Lynn was incredibly accommodating and told me upfront the added cost for the design I wanted and walked me through the process shed use to get the design right!
The salon is no-​frills but inviting and all of the staff is really friendly. My appointment was an hour before closing and the design I wanted was a bit more work intensive and there was never a complaint when we were there 40 minutes after closing to make sure everything looked perfect and it did! I love my nails, perfect for a weekend music festival and exactly what I said I wanted! Lynn is the only one who does designs/​nail art so be sure to mention it when scheduling. I will definitely be back for my regular mani pedi with Juicy!

My friends tell me I have OCD about by nails. And they’re right. And the only relief I get is when I go to Juicy! All of the women are excellent. Detail-​oriented, thorough, consistent. I always walk out feeling relieved.
Make an appointment! They’re busy because they’re really good.
The owner, Lynne, is the best in the business.

I think I’ve found my new go-​to spot to get my nails done. I’ve been a ton of places in Nob Hill, scouring for a nail salon where I can reliably get my nails taken care of and polished without smearing color all over the cuticles.
3 big winning points for Juicy Nails:
1. It’s CLEAN – the first thing you should be looking at in a salon is how clean it is, and not only clean, but the décor is so cute! They don’t have massage chairs but the chairs are SOOOO comfortable. I always want to take a nap when I’m getting my nails done. In the absence of massage chairs, their massages last longer and feel better (in my opinion) than those are normal nail salons.
2. The ladies who do your nails are super nice! They don’t gossip right in front of you the whole time and are super polite. They always try something on you, make sure you like it, and then proceed. They asked if the water was okay, if the lotion temp was too hot, if the wet towels felt okay, and if I liked the shape/​color of the mani instead of just assuming I wanted it a certain way. They really make a bit of extra effort to ensure that you are comfortable and relaxed throughout your time there.
3. They are meticulous with your nails. This is probably what I“m pickiest about at the salon – whether or not my mani looks flawless when I walk out. Nothing’s better than coming out of a finished appointment with clean cuticles and even, beautiful coats of nail polish. Conversely, no woman likes to walk out of a mani/​pedi appointment with nail polish smeared around her cuticles or streaky coats of uneven application. There are a lot of salons that rush the polish application, but Juicy nails did three coats of color for me to make sure it looked even, and made sure to get polish on all of the nail (too often so I have a strip of bare nail because the technician is rushing it). They also go over their cuticle work several times to correct any mistakes. I don’t feel like I have to watch for errors with them, and I can spend more time just relaxing and letting them to their job!
The price point is a tad higher than other salons in the area – it’s $ 15 for a mani, $ 25 for a pedi, and $ 40 for both, but they offer discounts if you come during non-​rush hours, and honestly… I’d rather pay the extra couple of bucks to have a relaxing job well done and a manicure that is probably going to last me a week longer. It’s more value in the long run.

What a relief! Amazing experience and wonderful nail techs. I just moved to SF from Chicago and have always been picky about my nails so was a little nervous to try something new. Everyone was so nice and helpful. The chairs were so comfortable and my gel manicure couldn’t have turned out better — the attention to detail was much appreciated.
I’m sadly moving to the other side of SF soon, but will definitely make the track back here to get my nails done.

I love the girly décor and welcoming vibe of this nail place. Overstuffed chairs, embroidered pillows, vintage-​y tea sets. SUPER cute!
I’m glad I made an appointment to get a regular pedi ($ 23) since that Saturday I came in, they were short handed so she wasn’t taking any walk ins.
Lyn, the owner, is so welcoming and friendly. She made sure I was comfortable and offered tea and we chatted about everything under the sun. She has light hands and meticulous with the cleaning and polish application. Easily, a perfectionist. I like that.
I don’t get pedis often because I like to do it myself, but I feel like I’ve found a nail place I can think of as a second home. I’ll definitely be back.
