Tnails

I’ve been coming to Tammy for manicures and pedicures for a few years now, so it’s about time I post a review. Though, it might make it hard for me to get an appointment! She works wonders on my hands and feet in a small private space, which I prefer rather than out in the open where everybody can see the sorry state of my appendages. Inevitably, friends and acquaintances will comment on my nails after Tammy has performed her magic on them. I can go almost 4 weeks between pedicures. I don’t have a dishwasher, so a color change is usually needed on my hands after a little more than week depending how careful I am.
Tammy is meticulous, friendly and very accommodating. I usually bring my own polish, but when I haven’t, Tammy always recommended colors that have nicely complemented my skin tone. Yeah, you can find cheaper prices, but everything she uses is clean/​sterile and she does such fantastic work. It’s a wonderful way to treat yourself.

I’ve been wanting to go here for a few years now and was excited that Tammy added a second manicurist. My actual experience at the salon was wonderful (amazing foot massage, kind manicurist, nice space, relaxing) –it lasted 2.5 hrs (hot milk mani/​pedi with additional 30 min massage). I was happy to pay the hefty $ 120 tab until I saw that all 10 of my fingernails had peeling polish within 24 hours, and even my pedicure chipped within the week (which never happens). Huge bummer.

Getting your nails down at Tnails is an intimate experience: just you and Tammy. The space is small (a closet with a window), but thoughtfully and beautifully decorated.
Tammy takes her time, and is meticulous about making your nails look perfect.

tnails is so cute!
tammy is so sweet. very personable and witty.
and she really takes her time; you’re the only client — no massage chairs, no drying station, it’s all about you. :]

Tammy does an excellent job! She is very meticulous in her work and extremely friendly. Her space is very cosy. You very much feel pampered :) Be sure to book well in advance as her book is quite full!

Tammy is my go to gal for pedicures! She is meticulous and her pedicures last a long time. She has a great selection of colors and always makes you feel like you are visiting with a good friend. Her booth is small but cozy and comfy. She offers you a drink and has a nice selection of magazines if you’d rather read than chat. Her space is in the same place where Habit is at. You can park off street (2 hour limit), meter (30 minutes) or in the garage around the corner for $ 2 an hour.

Best nails in San Francisco hands down and Tammy is the best manicurist I’ve ever been to!
My nails are always perfect and her sweet nature always brightens my day. I look forward to sitting in her cozy space, sipping green tea and talking about life.
I only wish I could go every week!

Tnails is a tiny spot (like a closet space), with only enough space for Tammy and the client. Also it’s by appointment only, so during the hour long nail treatment, one can be sure that Tammy devotes all her attention to your treatment without feeling rushed. She’s a sweetheart to chat with too. Nice selection of OPI, Zoya, Sparitual, and Essie colors. Best thing is Tammy sanitizes her tools using the UV machine. Minus one star because polish wasn’t the longest lasting I’ve had in comparison to other spa I went to. It’s pricey ($ 25 for a regular mani, soaking in water, trimming, filing, and a short massage), but the experience is by far the most relaxing. Instead of going there regularly, I would go to Tnails as a special treat.

Tammy is wonderful. I was a little hesitant to have my nails done in a setting where it would be just the two of us, but honestly it was one of the most relaxing and best pedicures I have ever received. She was thoughtful and skilled. Tammy also made sure to ask if I had any special preferences or concerns before the pedicure. There was lovely music playing and a glass of sangria! The experience was extremely worth the price and I will keep going back. You won’t regret it.

Just got my first pedicure with Tammy and am joining the chorus of previous reviewers as a fan. Her space on the second floor of a building on Fillmore St is cozy and quiet, a room with just you and her (and some complimentary tea/​water/​sangria, pillows, magazines, music…) Tammy is clearly experienced at her craft: thorough, detailed, and meticulous. My pedicure was unhurried and she made my 15-​minute massage add-​on a real delight. A nice selection of colors from Opi, Essie, Spa Ritual, Zoya, and I even spied a bottle or two of Chanel in the mix.
Since it’s just you and her — this is not a salon! — the whole experience is relaxing and calm. Tammy is great if you want to chat with her or just sit back quietly and rest — she’s friendly both ways. What a treat.
A while back I gave up getting manicures and pedicures at nail chop shops: I’d rather get fewer but better treatments because you really do get what you pay for. Tammy has reinforced my decision — she’s worth every penny!

Tammy is the best! It’s so refreshing to actually relax during a manicure! Her room is so comfortable and she does an amazing job. I’ve never had a manicure last so long! Great color selection.

Thanks to Unilocal,I found Tammy, woohooo! I was a loyal client of hers at Spa Radiance but lost touch and was always wondering where she was. Then one day I saw a review for her and I was ecstatic. Saw Tammy today after 3 years and it was so wonderful to see her again. Her pedicures and manicures are the best ever, she is so skilled and talented and what a beautiful person inside and out. Her space is awesome, just perfect and I love the privacy. I do not like going to the nail places where everyone is jammed in and it is loud and not clean. Tammy runs a flawless practice where everything is sterile, clean and oh so spectacular. I already have my next appointment booked and am going for a milk pedicure. Thank you again Tammy, so glad I found you!!!

I have been getting my nails done by Tammy for 8 years and she is amazing! She just opened a great spot of her own on Fillmore and Greenwich and I went there for the first time today. So cute. I highly recommend Tammy. She uses all natural/​chemical free products and my pedicure lasts for at least three weeks and looks great. Worth every penny!
