Leslie’s Nails 2

This place sucks! John the manager loves to BS and Owen is rude. I came in 15 mins before closing and they refused to do a simple manicure.

I actually don’t even think this place deserved my 1 star LOL. My friend came here to get gel and ya’ll had ONE fucking job but u couldn’t even do it properly? You’re gonna open a nail salon but can’t do people’s nails correctly? Were u blind or what lolol. I could’ve done a better job wtf that gel manicure should’ve been free, it was fucking TERRIBLE. U deserve 1 star on Unilocal not 3.

Horrible shellac manicure. Worse than I imagined it could have been. I had to ask for most of my nails to be fixed, and still walked away unhappy with each of them.
Don’t be fooled by the low price. While I paid $ 25, I’ve paid just $ 5 more for manicures that were worth MUCH more than this.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Went to this nail salon thinking they would be «okay» but turned out to be the most horrible experience ever! I tried to get a full set with white manicure. How long could that possibly take? Took 1 hour and 30 mins for her to shape my nails and shave it into the most shittiest shape ever. She didn’t even clean my cuticles or any part of my nail. When she began slapping on the chemicals to make my nails she slobbered the chemicals underneath and all over my fingers. She cut me 7 times along the way. There was no curve when she shaved my nails AND she stopped midway to clip HER OWN NAILS. I was calm and I kept telling her she needed to redo the nails. She was like «it’s okay. okay. okay.» like NO IT IS NOT OKAY. Then she started slapping on manicure like it was lip gloss. My friend was watching the whole process and started getting irritated with her as well. Then when she was «done» I walked over to another lady and asked her if she thought my nails were okay. She was like «why don’t you let her fix it» while laughing. No, this is not funny. Then I went to the other guy who worked there and he said «OHHH.» He didn’t know how bad it was until he saw it himself. The two ladies then proceeded on to talk shit in their language while laughing. It took them 2 and a half hours to get my nails done. NEVER AGAIN. DO NOT COME HERE.

My favorite nail salon in the city. The workers are all very nice and my manicures always come out perfect whether they’re an acrylic set or just plain gel nails. The wait can get pretty long so come early.

The salon has recently undergone a refurbishment with new spa chairs and an updated look. The entire place seems totally fresh and clean now and the work is still fantastic. Nail art is still stellar and the staff are lovely. I’ll post new photos with this update

Popped into this shop for a quick pedi… nasty!!! Tried to use use unclean tools. Impersonal, unprofessional and an overall a mess. I will never return… !!!

They did my girl friend very nice, special Helen the young girl, she design some flower very beautiful, my gf loved it.

I don’t do reviews on Unilocal & this is the only reason why I downloaded the app so you guys can save yourself from this place! If I could give this place 0 stars I would. I got my gel acrylic nails done 2 days ago and let me tell you the lady who did my nails was not friendly AT ALL (I wish they had name tags, so you guys could avoid her) and also did a horrible job on them. First of all, she didn’t even massage my hands or clean my cuticles and the end result was terrible… $ 40 I will NEVER get back. The acrylics were to big for my fingers, the tips of my fingernails are super thick and she also didn’t completely paint the nails. Also 3 of my friends commented on my nails saying it looked really thick the day i got them done! I don’t know why the lady butchered my nails so badly, maybe she had a personal vendetta against me or she’s just terrible at doing nails… I will NEVER EVER go back there ever again! Also the eye lash extensions are NOT for ppl with mono lids… that also came out horrible. Immediately after I got them done I HATED IT, save yourself and your money by avoiding this place!

I love this little ghetto shop. I showed them a picture of the design I wanted and they executed it perfectly. $ 55 total. Will be going back

I stopped in at Leslie’s Nails for two reasons: 1. I desperately needed to remove my overgrown gel polish and 2. they were one of the only nail salons in the area that were still open without an appointment.
The first part of my nail service was frightening. In the past, I’ve always had my gel nails buffed down, soaked in acetone, then scraped off with an orange stick. The process here consisted of using cuticle cutters to yank the polish from the base of my nail towards the top of the nail. Each tug made me cringe in fear; it felt like my real nail was going to lift off. She did catch my real nail on a pinky, and only stopped pulling once I gasped out in pain. When the gel polish wouldn’t budge, she would use the nail dremel to thin it out. My nail beds became dangerously hot; I was certain the dremel was going to go through the entire nail.
After I white knuckled that step, the rest of the experience was better. The manicurist took the time to show me that the color I chose was actually faded on the sample, and suggested another color. It was definitely the most basic manicure I’ve received. My nails were filed and painted. No massage, fancy lotions or cuticle oils used. You’re seated in a folding chair, and your hands rest on paper towels. It’s a no-​frills nail salon.
I probably wouldn’t return here to have my gel polish removed, unless that wasn’t their usual protocol. However, if you need a quick and cheap polish job, I would recommend visiting.

First of all there are a TON of salons in SF that do mani/​pedis for $ 25 (EX: Sunflower Nails-​Divis, and Natural Salon-​Fulton) So that isnt that good of a deal. I just had a bite at 1300 and decided to get a gel mani and a pedi here. They dont have a color board for the gel colors so the lady just keep putting colors on top of my old gel manicure to test them out. Uh what?! This place does not seem clean and the set up seems very unorganized. They literally prop your UV dryer up on a phonebook and have a tiny space fan dry your pedi. The worst part was that you are having your nails done to the left while your feet are straight out in front of you as they do your pedi. Very uncomfortable being sideways. My nails look OK at best. My toes have imperfections (bubbles) and I could have done them better at home. However the staff was very friendly. This place just needs some new equipment and a serious deep cleaning.

I went there looking for the guy that always help me with a wonderful french nail do but I was surprised he wasnt there, he was pretty skill and profesional, used to go there all the time while i was living around fillmore street, long story short When I passed by there last week He wasnt there so someone there offered to help told me she would do a good job with a great smile and confidence but not really
Where is he?

all i can say is worst customer service everrrr! the guy that does nails is VERY unprofessional, he was on the phone throughout my whole mani (he has done this twice before). also when you walk in they dont say «hi, how can I help you» they say «wah you want» …like really… not even worth one star!

Been getting my nails done here since I was about 16, now I get my eyebrows done here as well. I don’t like the pedicures here though.

Pedi/​mani for $ 25? Yes please! Not only is it inexpensive, but the service is really good.
This is not the place if you want a spa/​salon feel (they don’t have massage chairs like most nail salons), but they do a great job and you can be in and out in 30 – 45 minutes. For a quick/​cheap option… this is it.
Overall…I highly recommend giving them a try if you’re looking to get pampered for less.

My Last resort place. Its rough up in there. Enough said.

My old standby was here waiting for me with open arms… Have I said how much I LOVE my nailshop as of late?! If not — I LOVE YOU, NANCY & TEN!!! With my head bowed in shame, I came back post-​FiDi trauma to get my nails done correctly…1 hour later, I walked away with my ish looking like cotton candy colored jewels, along with my feet freshly scrubbed. I promise to never stray again… the hood is my friend for life! lol

I have been going to Leslie’s nails for many years and I love my neighborhood nail salon. I work in the Financial District and no nail salon tops Leslie’s Nails. The staff is wonderful and the owner Ken is very accomodating to my sometimes last minute schedule changes. I believe in supporting local owned businesses and I believe in supporting my Fillmore neighborhood. This is a salon that is clean and I have never had any type of infection and I am always satisfied with my manicure and pedicure results. Our neighborhood is wonderful, get your nails done and then check out the local eateries in the neighborhood. Support lower Fillmore merchants.

Oh, worst place ever! Dont go! Went there for a mani. The girl there can’t even tell which is cuticle oil which is lotion! She didn’t ask me whether I wanted square or round. Then I realized she was doing a square shape, I thought «ok, i will try square once». And later I found my left thumb is an irregular shape. Not square and not round! Very unpleasant. Will never go there again. I’d rather pay $ 5 or $ 10 to get a much better service.
