Salon Belle Linda

Best manicure I’ve ever had. The ladies that work here are kind and attentive. I always leave feeling better than when I walked in. Keep up the great work.

This is the best nail salon I’ve found in SF — clean, affordable, not smelly with chemicals. It’s also around the corner from a really sweet café so you can make a morning/​afternoon adventure pretty easily.

Super overpriced. $ 35 for a gel?! And I was forced to leave a tip!!! So $ 40 for a gel mani? Not worth it. No wonder it was empty on a Friday night. Made a mistake coming back years later. Could’ve gone anywhere else and from now on I will.

I picked this nail salon based on the Unilocal reviews & location, my husband was playing golf at Presidio Golf Course and it was less than 15min walking from the golf course.
Trinh did my nails.
I had old acrylic from September (I have really thin nails & even getting my cuticles push back normally hurts, let alone ripping off acrylics). Trinh was awesome. It didn’t hurt getting my acrylics or getting my cuticles pushed back, no nicks, asked me what I like then told me what she thought would work with what I like.

My friend and I went here for a girl’s day. It was great. We didn’t have an appointment. They sat us right next to each other so we could chat. They paid great attention to detail, they went over my toe nails several times to remove polish, make my cuticles IMMACULATE, buff and scrub them. The polish was adorable, (a pretty light green color) it was even, my nails looked great and they were very clean. I also got a mani, just a buff because I can’t use any nail polish at work for health code reasons. My nails looked great. I really like this place. And well priced as well. It was something like $ 40 for a mani pedi, with tip.

My friend and I’ve been here for 3years. Of course they are busy at rush hours just like you will wait in line for a good restaurant on Friday night. People go salon belle Linda because they really do great job with your mani pedi. Just try to avoid the rush hour if you don’t want to wait. Definitely recommend this place!!!

If you’re looking for a relaxing spa experience, go somewhere else.
If you’re looking for a precise manicure that will last weeks, come here!
They really know what they’re doing. Very friendly staff, just gets a little crowded in there.

My absolute favorite in San Francisco! They pay such great attention to detail and do not take any short cuts.

I walked in with a friend at 6pm and knew they were closing in an hour so I settled for just a gel mani. I got shuffled around 3 times while trying to get my gel polish off. They were working on me while I was in the seat waiting for a spot! So I finally get asked my color choice and tia starts working on my nails. At the same time another customer asks,“tia you’re going to do my nails right?.” Tia leaves me behind and asks Linda the owner to take over. I got so annoyed I just wanted them to put on a clear coat so I can get out of there. An hour later I stepped out with the worst mani I have ever had. This salon is getting so busy that they forget about customer service. Linda rushed through my mani, my cuticles are half cleaned and traces of my old polish were still there. Salon belle linda. It’s time to say goodbye. I’m taking my money elsewhere.

Been a loyal customer for years. When I moved out of the neighborhood, I kept coming. When I moved out of the state, I STILL reserved pedicure time for my visits home.
Well, I’m back now, and my experience is similar to the other one-​star reviews on here… Waiting with my feet in water, until it gets cold, unfriendliness from staff… Add in a broken chair and no offer of one that was working, once they became free during my ridiculous wait and a shitty response when I finally requested one, and I’m not coming back.
I’m bummed, I’ve always loved this place. But I’m good; they clearly don’t need my business and I can get a good pedi elsewhere.

Love this place! Love this ladies! They are the best!
Mani-​pedi, gel manicure, etc, everything they do they — do perfect !

I am your typical nail biter, and I decided to stop biting my nails for once — so I wanted to find a good place that does acrylic. The problem with some salons is that they make it look fake, but in this salon they made mines really natural and that is why they got 4 stars from me. They are also very friendly, and welcoming! I would’ve given them 5 star if only they didn’t give me a little cut on my finger, but other than that it was a great salon located in a convenient place.

Get your man nails on your hands and feet done here. Have your nails trimmed, cuticles cleaned, and your nails buffed and shined. The ladies are very attentive and perform quality work. The chairs provide a quick massage as you get serviced. I was a first time customer, however, it appeared returning customers are taken care of even more… I saw some getting a neck and shoulder massage during their service! I hope to get that too in my next visit.

It’s difficult to write a review for Salon Bella Linda because their guest experience score and attention to detail score are on opposite sides of the rating chart.
Guest Experience Rating = 1: Don’t come here for a relaxing experience — You won’t get it. This spot is constantly packed and they never turn down non-​appointment holders or ask people to come back later, even if there is a line forming outside. I felt incredibly rushed the few times I’ve been as they were pulling me from one seat to another throughout each of my experiences. I was never able to enjoy being pampered. The point of this place is to get a great manicure, not to sit back and relax.
Manicure/​Pedicure Rating = 5: As you can see in the other reviews, this place is notorious for their attention to detail. The manicure and pedicure itself (outside the experience) is amazing. I was introduced to the spot by my roommate who is VERY particular on her gel manicures and refuses to go anywhere else. They have a huge selection of colors and the gel here can typically last up to 3 weeks.

I’ve gone to this place a few times, and have always been satisfied with their services. I went in last week for a gel manicure and a regular pedicure and I love the attention they give to me! The lady that did my pedicure did an awesome job scrubbing the dead skin, and was very meticulous on the paint job. She also gave me a nice foot massage, which I can never complain about!
The gel manicure was fast and done well. So far so good.
It’s a great way to relax and enjoy «me» time
Gel Manicure + Pedicure = $ 60

My usual spot Chris Nails on Geary was booked so I decided to check out Belle Linda in a jam. Friday at 11am. The place was packed. Anytime I walk by they are jam packed. I think it is just too small of a space for the volume of business they do. There is no parking. They tell you to pick a color and you end up waiting 20 minutes. So best to book an appointment. The color selection was meh. The only thing I did appreciate was that I told the woman I needed to be out in 45 minutes and she made that happen. By Sunday some of the polish had already come off. Would not go back.

Love this place! A little regal spot for anyone looking for a place to help add a little more beauty to their daily routine. My favorite for getting nails done with friends or on my own. Cozy and clean. Seven full spa pedicure massage chairs and Four manicure stations. They do gels, waxing, mani/​pedi, and more. Decent prices and super high quality services. They pay attention to detail and aren’t afraid to spend time on their clients! That’s why I love it! Thank you for spreading the love and the beauty xo
Ps: Once I messed up my two big toes the same day I just got a pedi so I went back and they fixed it-​for free and with smiles :) They care for their customers!

I am actually very VERY upset with the service.
I came in for a pedicure for NYE. As nice as the lady who helped me was, she did a terrible job with my pedicure. First of all, she did not color within the nail; she only fixed her mistakes when pointed out. Secondly, she cut my skin so deep that it started BLEEDING. To top it off, she scratched and messed up the coloring after putting the 3^rd coat on, leading her to erase absolutely everything and starting all over again.
What upset me most was how much pain I was in after she cut open my skin. I told her to stop whatever she was doing because it hurt, but she still proceeded to finish what she started. And because she messed up on the coloring, I had to endure the same pain all over again and watch my toe bleed and swell up. As a result of this toe catastrophe, I was in so much pain that night trying to celebrate NYE.
Today is the 7^th of January; it has been a week since the pedicure and my toe is in more pain than ever. It is swollen and pus actually started to surface. If I get a toe infection because of this, the manager of this store is definitely getting an earful. Knowing how upset I was, the lady should have told her manager about the situation. It is very unfortunately that I still had to pay $ 40 for a probably toe infection.

One of my girlfriends always has the most amazing looking manicures. I asked her where she gets her nails done and she referred me to this salon. My boyfriend and I went there on the Saturday before we left for Burning Man. We got there around 5 PM and were prepared to wait. I told him the salon would probably be busy and they don’t take appointments. Good thing there’s a little place to eat next door or my boyfriend would have turned into the Hulk.
We were finally seated next to each other around 6 PM. He got a glitter rainbow mani & pedi and I got a gel manicure and regular pedicure. For the two of us, the total was $ 96, without tip.
They took their time on both of us and we didn’t leave until a little after 7:30 PM. I am glad my boyfriend saw how meticulous they were and how awesome our nails looked. He said he wouldn’t mind driving me and dropping me off there to get my nails done in the future.

This is a nail shop nestled into a quiet neighborhood in the Richmond district of the city. Linda and her husband Tony run and operate this nail shop that works out perfectly with people on a budget but still love that professional look and feel for their mani or pedis.
Everyone at this shop works hard and definitely takes pride in their work. The ladies (although can be very chatty and make you feel like their having fun at you’re expense) really do an amazing job. I go there with my wife when as apart of our alone time together, to get a mani and a pedi. I personally loved the work they do and only spent $ 27 dollars for it. Where can you go in the city where they do great work but charge that? Being a male I don’t use much of their services but I know they also do: waxes, eyebrow work, legs and I’m sure a host of other personal touches to make anyone feel refreshed and brand new.
One last thing about Linda’s is get there as early as you can once they open. This places gets packed, which is another sign of great work, but brutal when you have to wait. So don’t bother with appointments just get there as soon as they open.
