Divisadero Nails

I have been coming here for 10 years… even after I moved to SOMA, I still make the trip across the city just so that I can come to see Nancy and Tina! They always make me feel welcome and my nails last longer than anywhere else that I’ve ever gone. Prices are very reasonable as well. Highly recommend!

Yuck! They don’t even deserve 1 star. I felt so uncomfortable the entire time. I felt like they just quickly wanted to paint my nails and get me out of there. I got gel nails once she was done she literally just slapped some lotion on my hand while telling me to pay up now. I was like, wow oh okay! and proceeded to just rub the lotion in myself quickly since she was looking at me for my credit card. What a waste of money. I wish I would have listened to the bad reviews I saw.
SAVE YOURSELF!!! Do not go!

Tina is yet again the best at fixing in grown nails! Thank you!
And the rest of the staff are also experts now! Yeah Happy Toes

I always come for a regular pedi late after work and they always take me without an appointment. They’re always very friendly and meticulous with their service. I always walk out happy with my neat bright toes. Regular pedicure is $ 19. They have OPI. Essie, and a big collection of gel polishes too. They use orly bonder base coat and seche vite for a quick dry lasting finish. My pedicures from here last a long time until my nails grow too painfully long without any chipping so I come back for another great pedi. I’m glad I can always depend on divisadero nails to rescue my toesies even after 7pm on a Friday!

Just got a half assed gel manicure. I paid $ 26 for something that i truly wasn’t happy with. The lady who did my manicure rushed it and didn’t even buff my nails nor did she make sure that my nail was completely clean before putting on the top coat. She also didn’t file it down to length I wanted it. Now I’m going to go home and basically cut my nails short and probable mess up the manicure. Don’t waste your money here!

One of the worst nail salon experience I’ve ever had!
I love mimosa nail nearby, but I walked in today without appointment and they were very busy. I decided to leave and came here.
First of all, I’ve noticed the regular polish selection was relatively small. But it is what it is, I picked a safe color and decided to go for it.
I sat down and the manicurist did not greet me. The whole time, she had no smile, no nothing. It seemed like she disliked me already for meeting her less than one minute. That’s fine. She was probably having a bad day for whatever reason, I get it. I started some small talk asking how she was doing and stuff. She was not that responsive and I stopped trying. I get it, her English was probably not good, so she couldn’t really chat with me. That’s fine, but dude, you are in a service industry, at least put on a fake smile once okay?!
But fine, I’m usually a pretty friendly person and I tried not to take this personally. I then asked her how much the manicure was. She told me $ 11. I was thinking that’s a good deal so I would just bear with her attitude whatever.
She asked me if I wanna cut or just file. I had this almond shaped nail, meaning that it is pointier than a round shape. I said cut a little bit, just a little bit. Of course, I wanted to keep my shape. She went ahead and cut it. She stared filing my nails and I noticed it was no longer an almond shape, more like a skinny round shape. I told her I like my tips to be pointier. And she said, oh now your nails are short, we couldn’t do it. I started to get pissed and I thought if you couldn’t keep the shape I want, at least inform me first. But I didn’t say anything, I just accepted that because nails grow out again, and I can just file it back to the shape I want eventually.
Before she put on the nail polish, she asked me to pay. I handed her my credit card but found that on the receipt, it was $ 12 instead of the $ 11 I was informed earlier. I asked her why was that. She said, oh you paid with card, that is a dollar fee with it. At that moment, I couldn’t take it anymore, I was mad and said you should have told me. I do have cash but you didn’t even tell me and went ahead to do thing. That’s not good! She then pointed the sign behind her, which she blocked the whole time she was doing my nails, which basically say minimum credit card charge $ 15. I was like, how was I supposed to see it. Even she assumed that I saw it, she should’ve inform me again.
The owner voided the transaction, but even her apology didn’t seem sincere. I was so so so mad, but I still tip her more than 15%, because I understand that tips is a big part of their income. She probably has family to take care or whatever, so I still tip her although I was super unhappy about the experience.
Goodbye forever Divisadero Nail, not in the next millennium will I return. I’d rather not go to a nail salon for the rest of my life than coming here again.

42 $ to change nail polish color and fix one nail… Not mad about the price but mad that she charged only 18 $ for the Same service a week prior.
Wouldn’t come back because obviously they don’t care about keeping clientele

I stopped here to get my eyebrows waxed, big mistake. I explained to the lady that i was growing my eyebrows back and just wanted them cleaned up. I barely have any eyebrows now. Im so upset!

I enjoyed getting my mani and pedi done at this place. Price was reasonable and didn’t have to wait for a line. Staff was friendly.

Of the 4 or 5 nail salons I’ve tried in the city, this is by far the longest lasting non-​gel manicure I’ve ever gotten. Using just regular polish, my manicure is now on Day 10 almost completely intact!
I came here with a group of 6 other girls for a bachelorette party (we had to make a reservation), and the ladies were prepared and accommodating. I wasn’t expecting much because there were so many of us, but I was so pleasantly surprised at how efficient they were and how long my manicure has lasted.
It’s a bit out of my way, but I will definitely be coming back!

Best place to get a wax in town! Very precise, efficient and cheap. The nail techs can be hit or miss. For the most part, they do a great job, which is why I keep coming back. BUT, I feel like I have to constantly watch their work, or corners will be cut, and I will leave with a mediocre mani. But for the price, you can’t beat it.

Very clean, nice pedi chairs and affordable for good quality work. My friend Kris recommended this place to me when I moved into the City last October and they do as good as a job at my beloved City Nails in Fremont.

As the « Unilocal Duchess» of this place I suppose I should be giving it a higher rating. But really it is just in my «hood» — they are inexpensive-​ish — $ 25 for a gel manicure and occasionally I get one that lasts for 3 weeks, 2.3 weeks is the normal duration before it starts to chip. They can be a bit gruff and ignore that you made an appointment. Sometimes they clean your diamond ring, usually not, they can never figure out how to take off my watch — it is all over the place with service.

I like to pride myself on the loyalty I have towards quality service and a great deal. In fact, more often than not, I like to always give people the benefit of the doubt when their first attempt at service is not on point. Being that I was in the customer service industry for many years, I believe I understand completely just what a customer should be getting when you serve them.
That being said, I decided to try out Divisidaro Nails as their price for gel nails ($ 26) was affordable and I am always looking for a great deal. The lady who ushered me in was friendly and approachable.
She began to work on my nails and cleaning my cuticles, standard for any type of manicure. Unfortunately, she cut my finger. Hey, no biggie right? That happens, and like I said, I always am understanding. Then, she began putting the polish on. She seemed to be in a hurry and kept on getting the polish outside the nail.
I didn’t say anything because I don’t know the specifics of gel applications. Flash forward to the ending steps, she asked me to look at my nails to see if I wanted another coat. I looked and saw the nails barely looked coated and the polish was all over my skin. I asked for another coat and she seemed annoyed that I was asking for one – whoops!
Besides not feeling like I was a valued potential long time customer, my nails literally chipped the next day… like no joke. Let me remind you once more that I got a gel manicure. Needless to say by two days past the manicure mostly all of my nails were chipped. Yikes!
I will definitely not be going back, and I recommend that you don’t either. I promise, I am not a hateful, rude or needy person, but if you neglect to produce a worthy manny, I just have to keep it real. A lady has her preferences and chipped gel nails and lack luster service from a nail salon will just not do. Tisk, tisk.

Super friendly staff offering the best, most thorough manicures and pedicures… and their pedicures are so reasonable, at $ 19. Even with the super reasonable prices, they don’t skimp on quality and customer service. I mean seriously the most thorough mani pedis, where they ensure you leave with lovely, well trimmed, super clean nails and toes. I’ve been to other places charging more, and they’re never as thorough or detail oriented. And, I love that their pedis last, so you don’t end up with chunks of crusty dry bits all over your feet and heels within a week. A gem :)

This review is long overdue, if it wasn’t for this nail salon and Dr. Tina methodically and meticulously taking care of my toes I don’t know what I would do. Literally, Tina (I call her Dr. Tina) is amazing at fixing ingrown toe nails, she gets in there like a champ. I have an appointment with her monthly when I can no longer tolerate the sheets touching my toes in bed. Another excellent manicurist is Amy, she trims cuticles like no other. Make yourself an appointment with that star duo and your set for life.

Walked in and was greeted immediately with gracious smiles and expedited service. My fingers and toes look so pretty and immaculate… Nice that I paid at least 30% less for the same service I get at salons around the city.

I LOVE THIS PLACE.
First off, the interior design is NOT what I am writing about LOL. They need a lot of help in that department, but if you can see passed that, awesome.
My first tip is this: BE NICE. If you are kind, smile and patient, they will do a really really good job.
I bring in really obnoxious photos from pinterest and nail art websites and they ALWAYS replicate perfectly.
$ 29 FOR GEL? HELLLOOO! I lived in the marina for 6 years and every place is $ 35.
Second tip: don’t be in a rush. If you are, they will act like it and not give you as good of service.
Bring cash for the tip AND if you can even split the tip up for whoever did your feet and hands, even better. I actually didn’t know they split it and it should be split up so it goes specifically to the right person. If my pedicure was easy and normal, she probably shouldn’t get the exact same amount on the person doing nail art, gel, and stencils on my hands, so makes sense right?
GO HERE. BE NICE. RELAX. ENJOY.

This is a long overdue review. I’ve been coming here for years to do my eyebrows. Nancy is the best. I come in and out in less than 10 min looking fabulous. No appointment required!
$ 10. Approved.
Xoxo,
The petite hungry Asian

Went to get a gel manicure here today and was very happy with the service these ladies provided. They do a solid manicure and work pretty fast! I will definitely go again!
Bonus star because they played KOIT 96.5, my favorite stations!
