La Fleur 2

Horrible
Got a mani and pedi and it took 2hrs and 30mins! It wasn’t a busy nail shop where they would try to fit in as many customers as possible, they worked on me the whole time!
Nail shape: horrible
Paint: horrible
Service: horrible
Shop: horrible
They suggested a gel top coat to make my nails last longer but they didn’t allow enough time to dry the basic paint before adding. Result were cracked polish after 3 hours! I returned to the shop for them to fix, they told me to come back after my work shift as they were too busy. I returned, asking for them to fix, they said two hour wait, and i didnt have that amount of time, so I asked for my money back for their horrible experience and work! All employees started ignoring me and so I left the shop… moral of the story, don’t come here unless you want to waste $ 40 and pay $ 30 somewhere else to get them fixed!!!

Stopped in while traveling on business. Officially the worst mani/​pedi ever. The soak was hot water only. Not convinced its a clean place since I saw no cleaning of the bowls when others left. The tools weren’t sterilized. I Left with a hang nail on my thumb. They did file my nails nicely but the polish job was awful.
Kids screaming up stairs and the place looked dirty. Cords on walls were fixed with scotch tape.

Walked in without an appointment all good, they were quick and effiecent. What was missing, the best part of a pedicure, the MASSAGE. Cleaned up the toes but no massage for $ 25 bucks I was truly disappointed. Go for a quick clean up but dont except more.

Avoid this place if at all possible. Bad Gel job and they still charged me full price. The gel did not paint the ends of the nails so I asked them and they said that it was not right.
They treated me very poorly after that.
Bad experience.

Walked in last minute for a pedi and a mani. The pedi is for the what made it a 4 star and not a 5 star. The pedi was done by a man and the massage was a barely massage my feet were done nicely, but I am always looking forward to a strong foot massage :(Mani is beautiful — done by a woman very sweet and interactive. Probably one of the best french mani’s I have had since leaving my regular salon. I will be back to see her regularly!

I came in for a quick gel mani during my lunch break. I was in a rush so when they were able to accommodate me right away I was really happy. This place is very neat and clean. It was quite a pleasant experience. My mani left me feeling relaxed, even though I was in a hurry. I didn’t feel like I was rushed. The atmosphere is nice and the staff is friendly. My french gel mani came out really nice, cute colors everything perfect. This place is just what I needed and I highly recommended it. I made an appointment for a few weeks from now and I’ll update on how that goes.

I walk past this place all the time going to/​from my office and was hopeful it would become my go-​to nail place. Wrong.
Went today with two friends. It was completely empty, but they really, really rushed our services like there were hoards of people waiting. My «foot massage» never involved my feet – just about 15 seconds of rubbing my calves. They spent much of the time trying to up sell other services – Longer foot massage (ha!)? Hair cut? – rather than working on giving a good mani/​pedi.
When we were ready to leave they had all disappeared. Had to remove the tissue between our toes, put on our sandals, etc., with no assistance. I had to get their attention to pay, and even then they just chatted with each other and casually dealt with our payments.
Oh, and my manicure was really sloppy. Polish on many of my fingers. Ugh.

La Fleur 2 is a clean full-​service mani, pedi, hair care stop. Desperately in need of a pedicure, I found them right next door to my hotel, which was a huge plus. The staff were friendly, and I can say this is my first pedi from a male. He did a nice job. He was swift and thorough. I’m a bit sensory defensive and therefore
not the best customer on earth, but he was still nice and polite.
I would have liked a bit more interaction with the staff, rather than just being left to my own devices. But, having seen their interactions with other patrons, I think once you are a regular, relationships may form.
I didn’t have flip flops, but they had a pair of the clean, cellophane-​wrapped disposable kind as part of the cost, so I didn’t ruin my pedicure.

Just got a haircut (again)! Woooohoooo!
I lurrrrrve Antuan! I don’t know what his middle name is but I think it’s Antuan the Mind-​reader! When I went there, I still had no idea which hair style I would like to get; I only knew that my hair was already too long. He asked me if I was ready for a change, and I said yeppp… and Bam! A haircut that fits my fashion style and my face shape perfectly!
The thing that keeps me coming back for a haircut with him, besides his obviously excellent cutting skill, is his attentiveness and his friendly personality. It’s like getting a haircut from a close friend who knows what kind of clothes I would wear, what taste of fashion I have, and he customises my hairstyle to fit with every other detail of me. I get a lot of compliments for every hairstyle I have had (and yes, I got all of my haircuts from him).
I’ll be coming back here for a haircut again! And I know Antuan and his creativity will surely give me a fabulous hairstyle.

Had eyelash extensions done by Cindy and they are brilliant. She is careful and precise. Didn’t use medical tape for the lower lashes but that didn’t bother me too much at all.
Had gel nails done also, I have never had someone take such care with the colour. His (yep, a gentleman did them!) precision and attention to detail was great!

Waffled between 2 stars and 3 stars. I think I may be spoiled by my awesome nail place at home.
Forgot to redo my fingers before I came to San Fran for a business meeting. Wanted a place close to my hotel (Hilton Union Square). Found this place as I was walking to Macy’s. Stopped in. No appointment needed but that’s OK since no one was in there (it was 5pm on a Tuesday). A basic mani (not gel) was $ 15 before gratuity.
Good:
–Good color selection (see also Cons) from OPI, Essie, and other non-​names
— No appointment needed
–Fixed a torn nail by applying glue without additional charge
–Price was right
–Their command of English was good.
Cons
–While lots of colors to choose from, you could tell most have separated and had not been used in a while. The color I selected they added thinner to since it was thick
–Tables and chairs were clean but you could tell behind the chairs, the rails, etc. had not been cleaned/​dusted in a long while
— The hand «massage» was just rubbing some lotion (that smelled like Pez) on my hands and arms and not massaging it in
Neutral:
–The overall mani. It’s good but not spectacular.
— I did not see any of the sanitizer infrared machines for the tools, but that doesn’t mean they were not there since they went into the back to get the tools and I didn’t see
So overall 3 stars since it was just OK. The OK manicure saved it from being 2 stars, but the rundown/​semi-​clean and the old polish can easily push me back to 2 stars. And 3 instead of 2 since if I’m in town and desperate again for a mani, that I would consider coming back here.
Have cash available for tip — they want tipping in cash only.

They tint my eyebrows and lashes for $ 30 and it’s always good.

I came in for a mani/​pedi hours before I left for vacation and was pleasantly surprised to receive the best pedicure I’ve received since moving to the Bay two years ago.
I forgot his name, but a man did my nails, and never before have I felt so pampered and attended to, just so my nails look cute. I was given a full arm and shoulder massage, and the polish was impeccable.
Same for the pedicure… I received a lovely massage, and the pedicure lasted an entire month. He even wrapped my feet in plastic wrap before I put my boots back on, because I had to catch my flight and he didn’t want the color to smear. I did have a little explaining to do when I went through airport security, but it was well worth it.

Super efficient shellac mani. Dude filed my nails pretty short, but they were perfectly square, an amazing accomplishment considering how meticulous I am about having even and square nails. He was fast but not rushed.
Good stuff.

Love Cindy, she is the most kind hearted beautician that I have ever had. She is so sweet and always braids my hair while my nails are drying. I go to Le Fleur for everything: nails, waxing, eyelashes, and massage. It is convenient to downtown and is hardly ever busy. Another plus is that is does not smell like horrible chemicals like other salons do. If you work or live close to Union Square this place is one of the best and is affordable.

I keep on coming back to this salon since 2010 for their precision haircut and hair coloring service. Thumbs up to May’s skill in precision hair cutting. I always get compliments from people because of my hair. For me, she’s the female version of Edward Scissorhand. Thanks a lot May!!! Even my fiancée loves the way she cuts his hair.

I’m stopping short of 5 stars because I think I got overcharged for my gel mani, regular pedi, and brazillian wax (My regular gal doesn’t work Sundays, and Sundays are the only days I’m NOT working lately). My manicure is beautiful and took about half the time as one of my other regular places (we’ll see if it lasts as long), my pedicure was picture perfect, and the waxing was fast and painless (I have a very high threshold for pain and years of experience, plus a mom who loves to tell anyone who will listen that it hurts to be beautiful… I’m brainwashed for this sort of self-​imposed torture).
May and the gentleman who painted my nails were super professional, friendly, and efficient. I will definitely be back. I think that I may even be willing to overpay for the whole hoo-​ha situation she did such a great job. Plus, they’re next door to my yoga and ballet studios. And the interior and atmosphere are really chill and zen and not all sterile and creepy or hole-​in-​the-​wallish.
I don’t know what the one and two star reviews are about. And I’m also probably just spoiled– I get a really great deal at my usual place for being a long-​time customer. I’ll be back.

Was wary of the poor reviews, but with little time and a desperate need to get my nails done, I decided to take a chance on this place. They did a great job — it’s been a week and my manicure is chip-​free and looking good. Plus they had exactly the color I was looking for (and plenty more).
I can’t speak for the quality of their other services, but if you want a fast traditional manicure with gorgeous OPI polish, this is a good spot to try.

I came in for the first time today after wandering around downtown looking for a nail salon that looked welcoming, affordable, and not too busy. My original plan was to get my eye brows waxed, but I have also been interested in the gel nailpolish fad, so I decided to splurge a little.
I had a really nice lady wax my eye brows, she was welcoming, charming, and did a pretty good job. She took her time and didnt rush, and spent a long time cleaning them up after. I have to say, Ive had better, there are a few strays that I am going to have to pluck myself when I get a chance, but all in all, not so bad.
Eye brow wax– $ 12
Now time for the Gel manicure. I had a hard time choosing the right color, they have about 80ish to choose from. I had a guy working on the manicure. He was nice and polite, but im not so sure if he was really that accurate. He didnt spend much time on my cuticles and rushed through the process really quickly. He cut me and it hurt pretty bad. The manicure turned out alright. He left a pretty big gap between the polish and the cuticle though… I understand why, but it would be nice if the could fill that in just a little bit. I shouldnt leave the salon with nails that look like theyve been growing out for a week…
He was pretty meticulous and took his time, but a few ladies walked in and he started getting stressed and rushed to finish me up. Overall I would say he did an OK job, but not really anything special.
Gel Manicure– $ 30
I had a pretty average experience, not sure if I would go back though. The location is great, they are very friendly, but the services are mehh…

After work, I really needed to find a spot to get a manicure. I was lucky to stumble into this Nail Spa! Everyone was so nice and they took their time with my manicure. They carefully took off the Shellac that I had on my nails and did such a nice job. I had a gentlemen do my manicure. He was percise with his skill and gave me a great arm, hand, and shoulder massage! Relaxing and the price was such a surprise! $ 12.00 for a manicure and they did extra desgins on my nails as a complimentry addition when I mentioned how it was so pretty on the samples!
The nail spot is very clean and the colors are very cute. Great location in Union Square near all the shops! I will be coming back here as my spot for my nails after a long day at work. They did a really great job on my nails, great massage, did not feel rushed, and the people there are so sweet! Repeat customer here!
