T & T Nails

I love this place so much, it is clean with comfortable chairs, the ladies are super nice and friendly especially Quyen. They are very details with their work by taking time and not rushing as other places. You can’t get any services anywhere for the price that you are paying. I am their loyal client in fact. Give yourself a try!!!

i have been coming here for years. back when it was fong and my favorite cindy. but now… the ladies are nice. but nice just doesnt work. i go to a place to feel good. i work 7 days a week and even doing this has to fit into my schedule. i just want a nice massage. is that too much to ask? i keep going bc i keep hoping it will change. its sub par on the service and then not even that relaxation i need so much! and its getting worse. unless you get the owners, the regular doesnt care. pointing out my needs is just unacceptable and that just my feet, not the massage i expect. i feel bad leaving this. but every time i go, i feel i have wasted money for what should be a relaxing experience.
i am so disapointed. i would tell everyone to find somewhere else. and i will keep coming bc one day i hope it will change. but it never will.
if anyone has a suggestion.

The place was very clean and employees were nice. However the quality was not very good. The top coat did not completely cover my nails so it looks like some nails were chipped. The next day two nails did chipped.

I went here for the first time the other day after hearing my roommate rave about it, but I still don’t really understand why. The place is really tiny which isn’t great if you plan on going in a group. The staff wasn’t rude, but they also weren’t very friendly. They did a pretty good job my nails and my toes, but really wouldn’t recommend going here if you are in a time crunch because it took them almost 2 hours to do a simple mani pedi. Great options for nail colors though!

Using Unilocal as a guide, I brought both my daughters to T & T Nails as a treat. One received a mani/​pedi and the other daughter only wanted a pedicure with a design and gems. Their pricing is very reasonable.
Upon our arrival we were greeted warmly and promptly directed to the comfy chairs. The shop is clean and well run. My daughters loved their treatments, which included massage.
The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the woman was not able to execute the original design my daughter wanted (which was presented on their sample board) and 4 out of the 6 gems fell off within a couple of days.
That said, we all love this place and will definitely be back.

T&T is super clean and cozy, they have a nice selection of polishes, both regular and gel, and soothing music playing.
The two downsides to this place is their pedicure set up– they don’t have those nice massage chairs with the tub below for your feet. Rather, you sit in a cozy seat and they fill up a bowl with warm water that you soak your feet in. So if that tub or a chair massage is essential to your pedicure, I wouldn’t suggest you go here. If you’re not super high maintenance, it’ll do just fine!
However! To make up for the tub and massage chair, I can definitely say these ladies did an excellent and thorough job on my gel manicure and pedicure (+ callus foot scrub). They worked slowly, precisely, and with care. With every step, they asked if I was comfortable, liked the shape of my nails, if the color was okay, etc. They trimmed my cuticles perfectly and painted all the way up to the cuticle, and made sure to paint the top edge of my nail too. My nails and toes look flawless and I truly felt these ladies put the care into my services. Would definitely recommend, and am sure I’ll be returning!

Love this nail salon. I had been going to another one, but after a couple of uncomfortable, not relaxing experiences, I decided I needed a change. My friend recommended this place, which is close to my apartment. It’s nothing fancy, but it’s exactly what I wanted — small, professional, quiet, clean, and reasonably priced. I’ve now gotten 4 – 5 mani-​pedis here, and I plan to keep going back!

Such an amazing place. I went here a few times with a friend who swear by them but i didn’t get my nails done due to them being so short. This past week i went back with her and my 4 year old and got a gel mani. This salon has the nicest women and such a great ambiance. As we were getting out nails done by daughter was given a little chair to sit down in next to me and as many lolly pops as she wanted. The lady who did my nails tried talking to me and was very personable unlike other salons i have visited in the city. Before starting the manicure the lady told me my nails where too short and the gel could come off in less then a week but i told her to do it anyway. The fact she was honest and didn’t just do my nails is a reason i would come back. its been almost a week and my nails are amazing. No chips, bubbles, or uneven streaks. The women here know what they are doing and they do it very well. This is definitely my new spot. Make an appointment because a lot of regulars come in and you might have to wait an hour or so but its worth it.

Great service, quality nail polish (almost their entire rack is OPI), and best of all they actually give you a real massage with hot lotion! Not that lackluster rub that most places get away with. I made an appointment for a standard mani-​pedi and they didn’t pressure me into adding anything on… The ladies are so honest that when I inquired about the crystal gel polish, one of them advised that it would be a waste of money because my nails already grow strong and healthy!!! Can you believe that!!! :-D most places will try to sell you anything! I will definitely be back to this place! The only drawback, which I’d rather only deduct half a star for is that the place is really small with only 3 pedicure stations so if they are busy, it takes a little while for your turn. Other than that, they are a perfect hidden SF gem!

Pretty quick and they do a good job. Price is also on the less expensive side.
Service could be a tiny bit better, but overall good and I would go again!

A magical, wonderful place of salon. Its small location and small staff ensures that your salon time will be quiet and serene.
I’ve been going here every few weeks for the past couple of months and I have been bit by the loyalty bug. T&T Nails does a wonderful job! They only do regular manis/​pedis or gels (no false nails) but what they do, they do well. I get so many compliments on my nails and they shape and prep my nails perfectly every time. And gel manicures are all at a low price that even a recent college grad can afford! Plus, they’ll take off your previous gel manicure for free if you got the gel put on at their salon!
Only catch is you really do need an appointment. Because they have a small staff and many loyal customers, their salon is often booked to capacity. But call ahead and you can often book a same-​day appointment! I’ve seen many first time customers walk in without an appointment and be disgruntled when they are told that they don’t have room at the moment. Don’t fall prey to this mentality! T&T is worth the planning ahead and you’ll be happy when it’s your turn to sit in the quiet, uncrowded salon space.
They take debit/​credit but bring cash for tip!
Also, they do waxing and other salon services of which I am unfamiliar but you can always ask! I’ve seen many obviously regular customers come in to get their eyebrows etc. done and they’re always happy when they leave.

T&T is my new favorite nail salon in the Inner Richmond! I can’t believe I’ve passed by so many times without trying it. It’s not as crowded or hectic as the salons on California & 6^th that are so popular and that I’ve frequented so many times. The atmosphere is basic but very relaxed and technicians are friendly.
I was offered tea and water and there was soft music playing. T&T is a certified Healthy Nail Salon in SF so they don’t use nail polishes w/​toxic chemicals and have good ventilation and safe practices — no nasty chemical smell like some other salons! Their polish selection is above average and includes OPI, Essie, and tons of Butter!
My nail technician was very friendly and detail-​oriented and explained that it’s important to make an appointment because they care a lot of about quality and don’t want their clients to feel rushed. They take walk-​ins but attend to those with appointments first… so be sure to make an appointment!
I felt the price of $ 45 for gel mani and regular pedi was totally reasonable. The technician did a really great job on my nails — my first time getting gels. I am really hard on my nails and they are holding up pretty well after one week (no chips).
The chairs are leather and really comfortable. The only drawback was the foot soak — they don’t have foot baths but they brought over a large metal bowl lined with a plastic bag. The water started out super hot and got cold pretty fast. Plus the plastic bags just felt weird on my feet. Nice try… but not so relaxing! Otherwise the experience was great and I’ll definitely be back!

The 3 ladies spoke to each other in foreign language over me the entire time. Their voices were louder than the classical music in the background which was supposed to create ambiance. Not at all conscientious of the customer experience during their banter. Water was served in a small styrofoam cup. Dryers were not cleaned between clients, and cutter was not sterile. While in the chair, they put away the two colors I chose and made me get up to find them again. Absent minded and engrossed on their phones/​with each other. Nails were fine but not very relaxing.

This is a nice little gem in the Inner Richmond and is my go-​to spot for mani pedi’s. It’s always nice sitting in their luxurious sofa chairs and listening to some relaxing music to wind down. They also have a hot and cold water machine so you can make tea. The ladies are very friendly and kind and are very receptive to requests regarding your nails. The mani pedi’s are very reasonably priced at $ 30, and they do a high quality job every time. I am always impressed by their consistency from start to end, and my nails last 1 – 2 weeks (up to 1 week for my mani before shipping since work requires I wash my hands all day and at least 2 weeks for pedi’s).
If you want to make sure you are given a slot, I highly recommend you call ahead of time because appointments can fill up fast on certain days and there is no guarantee they can take you for a walk-​in if someone else called for an appointment.

I really wanted to like this place… I usually go to Linda’s on California but many of you know they are always packed! Found this place on Unilocal,gave it a shot. I haven’t gotten French in a while, when it comes to gel I usually stick with solids… but seeing as I’m a bridesmaid in a wedding this Saturday I decided to go with French. I picked out the glittery sheer coat to go underneath the white and the usual process began. I was impressed at first when the nail tech was free handing my white tips but I assumed she would go back with a brush + acetone to clean things up. However she did not and even when I pointed out uneven tips it just got worse and thicker… the employees here are cordial, chairs are comfy and had my French tips been even I would’ve given this place 5 stars… considering getting my nails redone somewhere else seeing as the wedding is on saturday I still have time !

I have two homes. My primary home is in San Francisco, CA. And my secondary home is in Elk Grove, CA.
Nails by nature is a tedious maintenance. As much as I get really impatient sitting there to get my nails done… believe me I feel like I have so much more to do than just sit there… I realized that trimmed manicured nails are very important for a lady.
With that said, nail places in the suburbs i.e. Elk Grove are a dime a dozen. They are literally around every corner. Nonetheless, I go to my neighborhood spot in San Francisco, Laurel Heights because of the QUALITY they do here.
The two young women who run this business are PASSIONATE about what they do. They don’t skimp on color or quality of their polishes or how they apply it. Therefore, the shellac gel job (which is what I get on my fingernails) lasts a whole lot longer than going elsewhere. And guess what? They are reasonable in their prices too.
Also, the fact that their clients/​customers are eternally loyal says leaps and bounds to how they run their business.

A manicure is just $ 12 and the staff is so friendly! I called 10 minutes ahead of time and they said they weren’t busy and could fit me in. Although it does take a while, you know they are doing a good job and really making sure you enjoy your experience! I would definitely recommend this place!

This place is so tiny – I’ve walked by many times without noticing it. Thanks, Unilocal!I I like that they have nice leather chairs instead of the weird massage chairs (personally get nothing out of those) and that’s it’s tiny, modern, and super clean. The ladies were sweet and offered me tea or water who has simple as that is, isn’t typical in nail salons. Good selection of Essie, OPI, Butter London, and Zoya. Haven’t had a gel manicure here yet but I’ll come back and update my review!

This salon is pretty small but very clean! They have a big variety of polish and gels you can choose from!
I usually like to get gel on my hands and regular polish on my toes, but most times it’s hard to match my colors. It was nice to be able to have the same colors in gel and and polish!
There was a little bit of a bad experience with an angry customer, but the ladies handled it really well! I will be coming back!

Love this place!
— Relaxing music, not like some other saloons that blast top 20 hits.
— Overall relaxing atmosphere — at least every other time I come I actually fall asleep :)
— Lasting polish — they have BUTTER polish, OPI, and many others. Which ever polish I select, it stays on my nails for more than a week… and it’s not even gel! Everyone always comments on how good my nails look.
— I also got my eye brows waxed there once and they did a great job. One stop shop!
I was almost didn’t want to post because I don’t want too many people to find out about this place, but they are so nice and the place is so great, I had to share!
