JT Nails

Best nail place in town! The ladies at JT nails are super nice and do a great job! Very competitive prices and great service. My gel manicures last for over two weeks without any chipping or cracking. Love this place. Thanks, JT nails!

I don’t get my nails done often because it usually chips off in a few days.
My granddaughter and I went to JT Nails on Fillmore because it was nearby.
Diane was terrific, friendly, and has been there for 15 years which says something not only about her but her employer.
Four days later my nails look like I just walked out of the salon.
I can’t wait for the next time I need my nails done to go back to Diane.
My granddaughter who is much more experienced than I and from NY said they used the products generously and put many layers and encouraged us to let everything dry for 30 minutes instead of rushing us out.

Polite staff. Good at applying nail paint but they do not scrub the calluses from the soles. In fact they don’t clean at all.

Terrible. I’ve given JT nails multiple tries because they are the closest place to my home and I so want them to be good. There is 1 technician that is great, but it’s a crap shoot if you get her. My last pedicure included the removal of polish, cutting of toenails and that’s it. I didn’t get them polished. There was no callous removal, the massage was awful. I ended up redoing them at home and I had enough cuticle material to build a small person by the time I was done.

I went in the other day and Judy did a manicure for me she was very thorough in trimming up my nails and cuticles the paint was done very well. I noticed in a few reviews people feeling uncomfortable about the ladies around speaking in another language. I did see that there however Judy was very friendly and a few of the other women were talking to their customers I think it really depends on how much you want to interact as well. I will be back soon.

Very rude, charged me for a full pedicure when I just got a clean. Exfoliated my feet with a paper nail file.

Loved this place! My friend and I were walking past here on Friday afternoon and saw that there were $ 12 manicures — definitely couldn’t pass that one up.
We each wanted a manicure and got in right away — no wait even though the place was fairly busy. Cami did my nails and she was amazing! She is extremely thorough and a perfectionist, which i loved. She was also very friendly while also being very attentive.
So so happy with the results and I will definitely be back next time for shillac ($ 25).

Really nice nail artists, good work, relatively cheap for SF! $ 45 for gel mani + a regular pedi. I’ll definitely be back.

An outdated nail salon with typical viet ladies that giggles in front of you speaking in their language, and yes most likely they’re talking about u lol (my worst fear of nail places), makes me incredibly uncomfortable. They do a sloppy job if you aren’t one of their big tipper regulars, which don’t seem to be fair. Will not be back after my third bad experience with this place. Good luck ladies.

Overall experience has been great. Diane did my pedicure and Cindy did my manicure/​massage. Although The ambiance isn’t the best Cindy did an amazing job and was very accommodating to my requests. If you’re the kind of person that carries your stress in your shoulders a simple 10 minute massage (by Cindy of course) is the best way to end your week. I just moved to the neighborhood and I’ll be coming here moving forward for all my mani/​pedi needs!

Decided it was time to treat myself to a gel manicure. I’d had great experiences at JT Nails for basic manis. Walked in around 10am on a Thursday. I was greeted immediately and only had to wait 5 min before Judy called me over to her chair. The whole process took just under half an hour and my nails and hands look and feel amazing. Judy is very gentle, and is meticulous in cleaning and shaping the nails prior to applying polish. There was not a bubble to be seen. I came in with clean nails and cost of my gel manicure was $ 25. Very reasonable for such an awesome job! I will continue to frequent JT nails whenever I’m on Fillmore! Thank you

I was a walk-​in, they told me cash only so I ran across the street to Walgreens to get cash.
They were taking more walk-​ins but turned away an African American lady.
I explained I wanted my nail beds to be narrow and soon the acrylic was smaller than my actual nails. I was getting upset. Someone else came in and starting building again on my nail.
The overall finished product looked horrible. It looked like I needed a fill even though I just spent hours on a new set. I was also cut with the sanding instrument they used. I should not have paid for this set.

I love this place! The ladies are always very nice and remember your name (even if you rarely come). Best $ 28 mani/​pedi in the city I’ve found, and some how their regular manicures last 7 – 10 days for me when usually it’s starts to chip after 3 days or so!

I hail from NYC — the land of pretty affordable mani and pedi spots.
$ 25-​$ 28 mani-​pedi? Check.
Pretty great job? Check.
Really nice ladies running the operation? Check.
So, what’s the problem, Steph? The place was on the ghetto fabulous side. No massage chairs here to soak those toes; more like a little bucket with a saran wrap lining with luke warm water. Say what? Yep. Not much in the massage department either.
I do have to say, they polished perfectly, nice and thick.
Overall ladies, I like ya, but pretty pricey for a place that’s sadly cutting corners due to spacial issues. That ain’t my fault though, yo! Place could use a good scrub to boot.
I’d stick to going for a manicure only and you’ll be ok.
Cash only.

Love that place. Good selection of nailpolishes, owner Jackie was very polite and attentive. I definitely will be back for my mani/​pedi again

So professional, quick, and decently priced. Just moved from Chicago and was expecting to pay twice as much for everything. I randomly found this nail salon by my apartment and took a chance. For a regular pedi and gel polish mani, exactly the price and quality I was looking for!!!

Thanks to JT Nails, I am never going to do my own nails again, mark my words.
I normally don’t get pampered much, or if I do, I opt for a massage. But my friends wanted to get mani/​pedis so I went along. Lots of really pretty colors. I chose an Essie dark maroon/​red with a gold dusting for my fingers, and an Opi dark red for my toes, looks like a dark red wine and I love it.
I sat with Diane, and she is just the sweetest. I am undergoing laser tattoo removal for a tat on my foot, it’s been about a month since my first session, but my skin is still a little sensitive. I told her and she was empathetic (about my awful tattoo) and gentle on my foot. She massaged my feet, lower legs, and then my hands and forearms. And then I saw a sign saying they also do shoulder and neck massage. Um, did this just become the best day ever? So it was $ 10 for 12 minutes, but she definitely massaged for longer than that.
It was such an awesome experience, the ladies in the salon were very warm and friendly, I was so relaxed, and my nails are flawless. My friend got a full acryllic set and they looked really nice and natural. I paid $ 38 (not including tip) because I added the massage, which I highly recommend, but it would have been $ 28, which I think is not a bad price. Thanks, JT Nails!

I’ve been searching for a nail spot in PAC heights that isn’t ridiculously over priced, so I’ve come here a few times for a gel mani and pedi.
It’s on, but nothing spectacular. There are no spa seats, so don’t expect anything fancy. It’s also quite small, so reservations are a good idea.
$ 45 for a gel mani and regular pedi.

The place was full so I thought it must be good … but the french nails I got were worse than what I can do myself (see the photos I uploaded). The curves were not smooth and she just ignore all the edges/​sides of the nail.
She also asked me to pay right after she cleaned my hand but before she started painting my nails. She said the french nails are $ 15 so I gave her $ 18 including a $ 3 tip. Was my tip too small so I got this bad job done? But how can I know how much to tip before she does the work?

Ten dollars for a mani? Are you kidding me. This is insane. INSANE I tell you. And for a mani-​pedi combo: $ 25. Sign me up!
Using my Unilocal Mobile app (ahem, it’s free. So download it.) I strolled in today needing a mani stat. The place was crowded, but within a second of walking in the door, Jackie asked for my name and informed me it would be a 30 minute wait. I contemplated, and decided to stick around since my dinner date with a friend was running late.
I don’t know if I’d ever get a pedicure here, considering they don’t have traditional pedicure spa chairs — you know the ones with the built-​in tubs and jets. Instead, women were soaking their feet in plastic bins. I guess this is an SF thing? …
Thirty minutes went by, and not too longer after did I realize it was worth the wait. Jackie, the petite, sweet and super posh nail tech (and owner?) gave me the BEST nail polish job ever. Eh-​ver. I can’t stop looking at my nails because they are stunning. Perfect. She was a perfectionist, examining her work, filing away, going back to even things out, painting so intricately, and molding the best cuticle lines. I highly rec you request her. She’s so kind and kept thanking me — along with other patrons — «thank you so much for waiting.» «Thank you so much for waiting.»
The only issue I have with my nails is that I have tiny air bubbles, but that’s slightly my fault because I kept my nails too close to the fan (I was in a drying hurry.). However, this could have been prevented had they more UV nail drying machines and not just the ones they used on the ladies getting the Shellac nails.
Jealous that I can’t take Jackie back with me to Texas. But I’ll be sure to come back next trip to SF.
