Awe-Inspiring Pictures of Nail Art Designs

Awe-Inspiring Pictures of Nail Art DesignsAwe-Inspiring Pictures of Nail Art Designs - Glen Park Nails is the BEST place in Glen Park to get a mani/pedi. They are extremely friendly and have reasonable prices. They are always nice and it's a really calming experience being there. I've tried every nail place in glen park and this wins Hands Down! The salon is clean, they replenish their colors and they give you the right amount of attention and care. Really sweet ladies and much more pleasant than the other nail places on Diamond - TRUST me! They do high quality work and can't tell you how grateful I am to finally have found a good nail place in walking distance to my house! hooray! :D

Hey, what's with all the bad reviews? After searching on yelp for a nail salon near my house, I finally decided on Glen Park Nails. My sister and I have a regular salon (Top Ten Nails) but since our regular salon requires metered parking, I decided that it's time to search for a salon where I could actually relax and not have to worry about feeding my meter and ruining my manicure. I think we've finally found our "regular" spot. :)

My boyfriend, sister and I decided to get our nails done on a Friday afternoon. Actually, my sister had an event later that night, I was in dire need of a mani/pedi and my boyfriend was trooper and sat through his third manicure and first pedicure. Since I made an appointment the night before, the owner greeted us and actually got our names right! It was busy, but everyone looked like they were finishing up. The owner told us to pick a color from the vast amount of OPI and Essie nail polishes. Definitely a plus for carrying high quality nail polish brands instead of those cheap drugstore brands!

Immediately upon entering, I noticed how CLEAN the salon was and I was definitely surprised to find a nice, cozy salon which didn't reek of acetone! Due to their modest size, they only had 3 pedicure massage chairs which was perfect for all 3 of us. While getting our pedicures, I noticed that Glen Park Nails SANITIZES their instruments in Barbicide and keeps everything neat and orderly in plastic drawers. In addition to the sanitized instruments, they also thoroughly clean their baths! Trust me, I saw them scrubbing like there was no tomorrow! They also open up the packet of tools in front of you which is very reassuring for germaphobes like myself.

The pedicure was very relaxing and they really took their time to massage your feet and scrub your heels. Even though I wished they asked me what shape I wanted my nails, they lady knew exactly what she was doing and filed my nails perfectly. The ladies were SO friendly and were conversing with us which was real treat. :) It was also nice seeing my boyfriend enjoying his pedicure. Props to the lady who was doing his nails! Lol. My manicure was a little bit weird, though. I had a different lady do my manicure, but she didn't have a bowl of water for me to soak my fingers in. Granted that my manicure was absolutely gorgeous and my nails were perfectly shaped, but it definitely lacked that relaxing feel. She was very nice and conversed with me about.. life lol and she did a killer massage! I loved it!

Excellent Acrylic Nail Art Designs

Excellent Acrylic Nail Art DesignsExcellent Acrylic Nail Art Designs - I had a very pleasant first experience at Glen Park Nails. I usually like to paint my own toenails, complete with little artsy flowers of my own, but alas the baby in my belly is growing too big for me to reach my toes! No worries: that just means it's pedicure time! I had read here on Yelp that it's a good idea to make an appointment, so I called ahead for "the next appointment you have" and told her I could be there in 15, so she booked my pedicure for 15 minutes from the time I called. Nice. (Actually, I barely made it on time since I had to stop and get cash! Don't forget cash!)

The pedicure was great; the gal massaged my feet and shins with a sugar scrub which started off exfoliating and gradually smoothed out as the sugar granules dissolved. I've seen this used at higher-end salons before, but never at a small, 18-dollar-pedi kind of place like this. She made intermittent chit-chat, asking me about my day and, surprisingly, she gathered all on her own that it was my first time there (impressive) so we chatted a little about Yelp. Overall, I absolutely enjoyed myself and I will go back. As others have said, their collection of polish is high-quality and well-rounded. My toe nails are now a cute shade of purple and look lovely.

There were only two things missing from my experience which would have made it 5-star, and I'm sure I could have received them by simply asking... but I shouldn't have to ask! I want to read my book, relax, and pay zero attention to my surroundings. Namely, the massage chair I was sitting in either wasn't turned on or was out of order. (Unfortunate because others have spoken highly of these chairs.) Also, she didn't offer to do any nail art. Normally it's "Would you like a flower? *cough* please-say-yes-because-we-overcharge-a-whopping-$5­-for-the-little-things *cough cough*" but--nothing. She just motioned for my sandals, helped me put them on, stated that it would be $18 dollars and took her next customer. No little fan for my still-wet polish, just, "Good luck walking down the street and getting in your car without messing those up!" Hmph. Luckily I managed, so that fourth star gets to stay.

Brilliant Crazy Nail Art Designs

Brilliant Crazy Nail Art DesignsBrilliant Crazy Nail Art Designs - Nice salon and the ladies seemed friendly the first couple times I went. Good colors. The better salon in GP is Sunshine Nails but they are closed on Tuesday's now and I needed a mani-pedi that day. The women were not as friendly and seemed to be rushing. My polish peeled off in a couple days, and like another reviewer said, they seemed to be mocking (in Vietnamese) something I said. I could be wrong but it was not comfortable. I won't be going back. I came in here without an appointment, but they were able to accommodate. It seems to be the kind of place that has its neighborhood regulars. A mani/pedi is $25. My finger nails chip quickly, and it's not something that changes depending on where I go, so for $25, that's fine. I look great for my event, and then slowly the polish chips away.

They prefer that you tip in cash and are pretty open about just letting you walk out to an ATM nearby to grab some cash. I have been coming here for about 6 months now and is an addict! I found the perfect place to get my nails done. One time I cheated by going to another nail salon and like any guilty cheater, it was not worth it! The women here are extremely nice and sweet. They ALWAYS squeeze me in. It is fun to come in because they know I'm Vietnamese so they really help me freshen up on my Vietnamese language. Hahah Makes me feel like home.

Staff- Though it's a small shop, they are busy and people love their services. The owner is a great at running her business and employees. Every shop I have ever gone to, I've always felt the jealousy and tension but they are very cohesive here at Glen Park Nails. Service- I get the gel manicure and pedicure. By far, the Gel Manicure is the best in town or country! The gel stays very well on my nails and it looks amazing until the day I come in to get a freshener! :) as for the pedicure, I would enjoy a longer massage but that's ok because it's more important to clean my toes and get off the chair for the next client. I'll have my masseuse lady take care of me later. For a gel mani and pedi is about $42 and that's cheap for SF!

Great Acrylic Nail Designs 2013

Great Acrylic Nail Designs 2013Great Acrylic Nail Designs 2013 - This is the first time I went here. I've been going to Sunshine Nails and/or Five Star Nails on Diamond St but am so disappointed in both of them that I searched on Yelp for another place in Glen Park. This was perfect! The ladies were all super nice and helpful. They were gentle with the cuticles and chatty with me in a friendly manner. They did not chatter with each other in their own language, only a little comment here and there which I don't mind (at the other two places they chatter constantly and are super loud). It was a calm and relaxing place which I really enjoyed. It did take an hour which is a bit long hence 4 stars instead of 5. My daughter & I left here disappointed. We both came in (with appointments) for an eyebrow wax. Mine was fine except for the fact that our brows were waxed in the waiting area just as you enter the salon. I for one dislike being stared at by other patrons who are sitting there getting their nails done.

I did not notice, however, my daughter did.....when it was her turn for a wax, the woman used the SAME wax that she used for me (completely unsanitary). That was our first and LAST visit. well, i hate to do this, but 3 bad experiences in a row, and I must update my review- i used to go to this salon when i lived nearby, and liked it, so since moving further out in SF, i kept coming back but now must move on

i made 3 appointments for mani-pedis for myself and family- i got confused with the time on the day and we ended up being about 20min late (as soon as I realized we were late, I called to let them know)- we walk in to an empty salon on a weekday, at 1130am, and get SCOLDED by one of the ladies working there for our lack of respect and being late. I almost walked out then and there, but my mom, and my past experience convinced me to stay, however it immediately soured any good experiences i may have had here

recently i went in after i had a shellac (gel) manicure (by this very salon) and needed to have it taken off/ a regular manicure- well, everyone beware, they do not have any special products to remove shellac, they will try to "soak" your nails with regular acetone and then literally, proceed to try and peel off several layers of the gel with their own nails/ hands- while they were doing this, it actually hurt my fingers and I asked the lady to stop- she suggested i let them "soak" longer and proceed to go attend to another client while brushing me aside as i sat there with one set of fingers in tin foil- 20 minutes goes by and i finally ask what is going on, so another manicurist comes to finish it, and my nails are still not rid of the gel, so she returns to this brute peeling technique. i could go on and on and im annoyed even writing this- end result, i spent over an hour and a half at the salon, my nails are now COMPLETELY ruined from this peeling job of theirs- my nails are now short, and frail.

Impressive New Nail Designs for 2013

Impressive New Nail Designs for 2013Impressive New Nail Designs for 2013 - After waiting 15 min for a wax I was informed they do the wax in the main room where everyone gets their nails done and you can be seen from the street. Uh...yeah...no thanks. I really like Susan and Kim. But my most recent visits have been kind of unspectacular because I keep getting some older lady who wears glasses. Last week she filled my nails unevenly, cut my cuticle too short and i started bleeding and when she painted my finger nails; she missed a lot of spots on the sides and the polish looked really messy. Not nice and smooth. I'll try it once more, but that lady needs to practice more and take her damn time !

I couldn't praise this salon enough, I leave here satisfied every time. I've been around the (gel-manicure) block a couple of times among the technicians here and they're all really great. However, I LOVVVE KIM! She is so genial and sweet when it comes to her personality and a perfectionist when it comes to her work. In short: she rocks. I would recommend calling beforehand even if it's on short notice. Although they do accept walk-ins, you never know when the waiting area will fill up since it only consists of two chairs (usually occupied by served customers drying their nails). Salon is always clean and tidy unlike so many of the salons nearby. Always willing to fit me in even at the last minute and they always do a great job. Sometimes scheduling can be hard at busy times but that is just because they are good at what they do.

Wonderful Nail Designs 2013

Wonderful Nail Designs 2013Wonderful Nail Designs 2013 - I love walking into a nail salon that doesn't smell like toxic chemicals. Four stars for that alone! It's true that the place is small. Makes it even more impressive that I've never had a long wait. How do they make me feel so pampered even while they are working quickly? The place is always clean, I always love my pedicure and everyone in the place is impressively friendly and courteous. I read some of the other reviews and I can't help but think some of the reviewers are either looking hard for something bad to say, or they are proud of how hard they are to please. Would they be happy with any service? This place offers a great experience at a great price, with long lasting results.

Love, Love, LOVE this place! You rarely have to wait for a mani-pedi even if you walk in. The cost is just about right at $25. The ladies are ultra nice and accommodating, even when they are slammed they always do their best to fit you in. Even if you have only been there once, they will ask your name and often times remember it the next time you come. The best part about it is you never feel rushed. I recommend making an appointment or if you go as a walk-in customer try to avoid peak times, like noon or going close to closing or even weekends get kind of busy in there. Very relaxing and it a great centralized location. I don't know what I'd do without this salon in my neighborhood.

Amazing Nail Design

Amazing Nail DesignAmazing Nail Design - This is definitely my new home salon in San Francisco! They did such a good job and they're so hospitable in comparison to many other salons. I love how clean and airy the whole salon is. They all do a great job of cutting your cuticles and cleaning up your feet! I always wear heels for work and they had no problem getting rid of the old blisters I had. They really take their time to make sure they do a good job. My mani and pedi took about an hour or so. I loved the massages too! Make sure to schedule an appointment. They get busy quick! Two stars for the nice ladies who are very friendly to new folks. One star for a clean file and shape. They use cheaper brand shellac nail polished and mine pealed in about 5 days - not typical of shellac manicures.

The salon and the ladies who work there are wonderful. The regular mani-pedi is very well priced ($26, plus tip) and of the highest quality. My manicures tend to stay on for 2 weeks before they starts to chip! Great selection of OPI and Essie colors and I love the decor and vibe of the salon - very clean and spa-like. I usually call at least one hour ahead of time to make sure they can fit me in, but they are great about accommodating walk-ins as well. The customer service at GP Nails is of the highest quality. The staff will regularly check in to make sure you approve of the length and shape of your nails and color once the first nail is painted.

Cool Nail Designs Short Nails

Cool Nail Designs Short NailsCool Nail Designs Short Nails - I made an appointment here for 5 gals including myself for a bachelorette party on a Saturday. We each got mani/pedis and they were very accommodating. We were a little late, but they still managed to seat us all together. Van worked on my pedi & Kelly worked on my gel mani. They were both so nice and did a great job. I was wary about cutting my cuticles so I made sure that they were aware. They were understanding and careful. They were also both extremely appreciative that I chose SUN for our party and I was as well. I mean, look at all the great reviews! My nails still look good and it's been a week. I'm very happy and would definitely recommend this place for a party or just to get in some R&R!

They have a large selection of polishes. The facility, bathroom and spa chairs were clean. Parking was a little tricky, but we were able to find metered parking after driving around for a few minutes. Make sure you take advantage of that pay for parking by phone/online! Very clean nail shop which I totally like. I have been here a couple times for a mani but today decided on a mani pedi. The staff is always friendly and did a really good job. They have plenty of colors to choose from and offer a variety of beverages while your gel dolled up. Simply Unique Nails does NOT actually sterilize their instruments in an autoclave. The put used instruments in the plastic autoclave pouches and pass them off as clean. Check the pouch for yourself, there is a pink/blue color that turns to brown/black if the autoclave was effective, their instruments have not been cleaned.

The manager tried to tell me the department of health prefers they use the disinfecting solution (instruments need to soak for a minimum 45 minutes) instead the autoclave (takes less than 20 minutes to do a better job than the solution). Doubt this is true. This still doesn't explain why they use the pouches that make their clients think instruments were cleaned in an autoclave. Simply Unique Nails has dirty instruments they are passing off as sterile, hoping their clients have not contracted fungal infections, bacterial infection or hepatitis because of their deceit.

Nail Art for Short Nails

Nail Art for Short NailsNail Art for Short Nails - This is my favorite place to get my manicure/pedicure. They always do a quality job and they have the magical nail gel that makes my manicure last for weeks without chipping or peeling. The place is clean, affordable, and they really go the extra mile to take of you and make you feel comfortable. Its a great place to just go by yourself or go with your girlfriends. My wedding party came here the day before my wedding and we had so much fun! I've been to several different nail salons and this one is the best, hands down. I've been back a dozen times since my initial review, and this has become my favourite mani/pedi place anew.

Outstanding magazine selection (seriously, no need to ever buy a fashion/gossip/beauty mag again - they have all the latest issues), great complimentary beverages, baller massage chairs and a slick selection of nail polish colours from my favourite brands. Any time I need to catch up on the pop culture world I head straight to S.U.N. to be whisked away into an hour (or two) of bliss and relaxation. Quyen (pronounced like Quinn) was fantastic! I wanted a relatively unusual design for my manicure, and received exactly what I wanted! I showed her a few pictures for reference and she worked her magic and created a masterpiece on my nails. She is very taleneted and I would recommend her for very detailed designs. Again, make sure you book exactly what you want in advance, it is very difficult to change your services the day of. Also, tips are cash only!

Nice Nail Art Designs Short Nails

Nice Nail Art Designs Short NailsNice Nail Art Designs Short Nails - I discovered Great Nails probably about two years ago and I was selfishly keeping it to myself (and a few select friends) because it was TOO AWESOME to share with the whole wide world. But, in all reality, I don't go nearly as much as I'd like to..and they deserve all the business they can get!!

I had a similar experience to someone else who wrote a review-- they agreed to take my friend and I in at closing time (7:30)-- and we were there until 10:00pm, as they gave our feet the most fantastic rubdown imaginable!! And for $25?? Unreal.

The downside (if you could call it that) is: if you go during a busy time, prepare to wait, because they don't rush through anyone's pedi. But the upside of that is, they certainly won't rush through yours either, even if the line's out the door or they are technically closed!

Matt and Lee are my favorites-- they are so amazing!! I feel like they must have studied acupuncture, but they claim they haven't. Sometimes there are big gaps between when I go but, regardless, they always greet me with a hug and remember my name. I love them!!! I hope they keep the prices low so I can keep tipping them BIG because they deserve it.

And it's BYOB, yes. Which makes things get a little loud in there on Fridays after office hours... it's the most unexpected happy hour deal in town! :) My acrylic nails were wavy meaning the surface was rippled. The so called good leg rub was more like calf-muscle punching.

To me a good pedicure focuses on calluses...which left me desiring more. I don't know why this place gets such great reviews I wasn't impressed. But I got what I paid for.

Fantastic Short Nail Designs Easy

Fantastic Short Nail Designs EasyFantastic Short Nail Designs Easy - Bonniherself's review got this spot on. I have had this in my stash for a year but have not used until now. I bought it because it looked exciting in the bottle. I now know that there have been a couple of versions. I have the latest version and it is just a boring dull dark brown/grey on the nails, the colour in the bottle is not replicated on nails. Applied well, one coat only and fully opaque. Very smooth to put on. It looks very shiny particularly with a Seche Vite topping. I cannot comment on its durability. I put this on last night and I will be taking it off tonight. I like to look at my nails and get a little thrill (sad I know) but this kind of depresses me. I am a fan of dark polishes ( well all polishes really, I am kind of addicted....,) but this one leaves me cold.

First, I knew they'd changed the formula, and that the polish I was buying was not the original holographic glitter version, which I'm told is gorgeous. I still liked the look of the polish, though, as I like brown polishes and I like glitter/shimmer. In the bottle, this looks like a rich, warm, dark brown with warm shimmer, exactly the sort of thing I enjoy wearing. On the nails, though, it's a different story.

The colour is pretty muddy, a dark grey-brown. If it was one or the other, it would be better, but it's just this muddy in between colour. Bleah. The glitter is well-suspended and definitely present, but it's barely there, and more of a subtle shimmer than anything else. The shimmery particles are very, very fine, and appear to be... gold? Silver? I don't know, maybe they're actually prismatic? All of the above? Impossible to tell, unfortunately, no matter what light I use. Top coat improves the appearance of the glitter somewhat, but only a little.

The formula on this is really nice, I must say, and it's easy to work with. Also easy to remove, no glitter hassles. I don't hate this polish, and I think it will work for certain things (as an accent nail in certain manicures, or as a base colour for certain special effects top coats, for example), but it's definitely not something I love or would wear just for its own sake. It looks SO much prettier in the bottle than it does on my nails. I hate it when nail polishes trick you like that.

Awe-Inspiring Short Nail Design 2013Awe-Inspiring Short Nail Design 2013 - I had a manicure on the 20th and my manicurist used Negligee on my short, natural nails. This is absolutely lovely. Not Liquid Paper, artificial white, Not streaky. Not too frosty. A barely there opalescence that reminds me of Abalone. Subtle. Elegant. My nails looked beautiful so I HAD to buy it. I took it with me on a recent holiday and retouched it on the Sat after. I'm still wearing it. Even when it chips a bit its barely noticeable. $7 at Gene Juarez Salon and Spa.

I just have short natural nails now. There are a couple of people on here who have enhancements, hopefully they will chime in on your thread. I do know you should be aware of Methyl-Methacrylate (MMA) being used predominantly in cheaper salons(NSS: Non-Standard Salons); it's not FDA-approved and is illegal in most states to use as a nail product but it's widespread because it costs 90% less than the safer alternative ethyl-methacrylate (EMA).

I read that you will know MMA by it's unique and very strong odor (sharp and fruity), if nail technicians wear masks to protect themselves from the dangerous vapors, nail technicians using MMA will nearly always use a nail drill because MMA acrylic is too hard to file with a hand file, removing MMA acrylics is very difficult, requiring from 40-60 minutes of soaking in pure acetone to dissolve the nails, and salons using it can charge much less for their services. I have read guidelines to be cautious of any salon charging less than $30 for a full set, or less than $20 for a fill.

Another scam by NSS salons is to offer UV Gel nails at a higher price, while claiming that they are safer. BUT they will again, apply the same substandard acrylic, and no gel is used. Only a UV sealant to prevent the cheap acrylic from yellowing. Powder is NEVER ever used for UV Gel nails, so if they take a powder out, it's not gels--they are applying standard liquid and powder acrylics and charging you a higher price. There are also scams with "Solar Nails." If the bottle doesn't say it's Solar and from Creative Nail Design, then they are not really giving you "Solar Nails" but likely MMA pink & whites. Walk away.
