Wild Orchid Nails & Spa

Amanda is my stylist and she is terrific. She has a great spence of style and hair color. My hair has never looked better.

Went here once to get my nails done with a Unilocal deal a while ago thinking that it would cover the whole manicure. Full set with some glitter and a few rhinestones and the whole manicure came out to like $ 120! wish I had known that before hand. This place is wayyyyyy too expensive for what they do! If you’re looking for a good 3D manicure go to Linda’s Ocean Nails on Ocean Ave. their full sets are like $ 20 and they do really great work and always make your nails look good

Stones came off within an hour! How is that possible?!

Nice friendly service, not the best mani/​pedi I have ever had, but the most expensive. So I probably won’t go back. Nothing special to warrant the price, which is equal to what I typically pay for a great haircut.

I wish there was a negative star also available in Unilocal to give it to this saloon!
I’ve been taking manicure (with gel design) and pedicure with regular nail polish and design, every 2 months in the past 3 years. Have been to Sacramento, Oakland, San Jose, Davis and in many salons out there.
This place is the WORST place that I’ve ever been. They are SUPER EXPENSIVE for nothing. Not a good attitude, not a good work and not even a good care after they screw my nails which chipped in 2 days which supposed to last 4 – 6 weeks, and charged me $ 130!!!
Ashely fixed it with not even saying a word «Sorry for what just happened» and she was busy with her cell phone all the time and didn’t communicate a word with me!
Other awesome part, after she fixed my nail and in 2 days after that, Same finger and another one also chipped!!! Are you f… ing kidding me??? For $ 130 is that all you can do?
For all other 9 – 10 different places I’ve been for the past 3years, maximum total charge for same services was $ 85 – 90!!!
In addition, don’t expect to have a massaging chair, there’s no such a thing, not even a 5min massage when you pay $ 60++ for manicure!
The worst nail salon I’ve ever been and never ever go back, don’t recommend to anyone. Keep your money for a better deal, not definitely this place.

I don’t understand all of the glowing reviews. There are so many nail salons in the city that do a great job that are actually affordable.
I came because my salon of choice, Lucky Nails, was full (it was a Friday night at 5pm). So I used the Unilocal app to find another salon within a few blocks, saw the great reviews (and the $ 5 check in offer), for this place.
I walked in, and made the mistake of not asking how much it would be for a mani /​pedi, but I didn’t think about it since I’ve never paid more than $ 30-​$ 40. I’ll get to the price in a minute though.
The massage chair was nice. Relaxing. The foot bath though, was VERY meh. The water was lukewarm at best, and no jets or anything, just still water.
The woman did a decent foot massage, the exfoliation was nice, and she was pretty meticulous. Same with my nails.
She finishes up, I show her my check in offer, she adds up my total, and…
$ 65! It would have been $ 70 without the check in offer. Normally for $ 70, you’d get extra massage time, shellac polish, or a happy ending at least! But this was just a very standard mani /​pedi.
The worst part is that come Monday, my nail polish was already chipping. I do not recommend.

Absolute best place to get your nails done in the city. I’ve been going to Sindy for a year now and she surprises me everytime I go. I come with an idea and she runs with it. After an hour I have amazing nails for every situation. I live in South City and I will continue to commute for her amazing service. Definitely go here if you want amazing nails!

Everything you can dream of with nails. I’ve been on a search of a «decent» nail salon since Ive moved up to the San Francisco from Southern California. This your LA style nail salon full of bling, originality and nothing impossible. Her work is perfection and you can trust her taste if you’re stumped on what color or design or shape you want. You pay a bit more than most nail salons but its definitely worth it.

I found Wild Orchid Studios while wondering through SF. After seeing all of the great Unilocal reviews I decided to give them a try. The building the studio is in is old yet has a super cool vibe. I absolutely loved the feel of the studio itself; it is chic and has really cute décor. Now onto my experience with my service: unfortunately it was a mediocre pedicure at best… and for $ 60 I really would have expected more. I kind of feel as though I was swindled and was charged such a high price because of the area it is in. It was more like a $ 20 pedicure at best. I ended up spending $ 85 for my pedicure after adding a design to my nails and tip… OUCH! I don’t mind spending a lot of money to pamper myself at all… but sadly my pedicure was not worth it and my bank account took a big hit that day!

Yesterday made my nails there. Those guys are very professional. Made it very fast and pretty! I really enjoyed. Thank you!

If you love Nail Art you’ll love WIld Orchid!

So, not trying to be THAT asshole, but this whole mega nail trend with stilletto tips, 3-​D accoutrements, imbeddings, and pretty much anything off the charts rad was brought to the SF bay area by a little lady named Sindy.
When i started going to her, it was hard to find such services, much less a place that would do it well.
Sure, She hasn’t been in SF that long, but leave it to this once Las Vegas resident to turn your world upside down in a blingy, feathery, wicked whirl. She can do ANYTHING!!! Also, she does it better than anyone else I’ve seen. She will get the propoprtions right to make your fingers look pretty, and she is no stranger to ostentation. Unless your job or your man mandates modesty or convention, move over, and let Sindy take over. She is super creative and fantastic with color. They do a wicked pedicure, and if your beau is in tow, they do in-​house fades etc.
The place, rules, you guys. Its small, but accomodating. They are always sweet, and even when I’ve dropped in, Sindy finds a way to work it out.
If a run-​of-​the mill mani/​pedi with a whole bunch of «atomsphere» is what you’re after, go to the marina. If you want killer, signature nails, go to Wild Orchid Studios.

Swankalicious!!! The décor is modern with chic zebra chairs, cute shabby chandeliers, and is oozing with Victorian charm. All the stations are organized in a neat way that feels feng shui appropriate.
I was specifically looking for Japanese 3d nail services and this baby popped up on my search query on Unilocal. I looked at the intricate nail art from the photos and decided to give them a try. Plus, to make my experience extra sweet, I was able to snag a deal on Unilocal ($ 40 for $ 50 services = YIPPEE for me!). To buy the coupon was super easy too. No hassle, no worry, simple click of a button buying process.
I asked Sindy, the superstar nail master, to please be gentle with me because my last manicure felt like Freddie Kruger stabbed my nails to death! She reassured me that she is not in the business of inflicting horror pain but wanted me to relax and enjoy my experience. Through out the process, I didn’t feel any pain and we gabbed on like teenagers. Time flew by quickly.
Since it’s close to Halloween and I was feeling spirited, I brought in my Halloween designs. After she applied all the base colors and coating, she confidently and skillfully sculptured Hello Kitty and a happy ghost on my nails, it took about 5 minutes for each design. In addition, she added in a *RockStar treatment to some of my nails to make them POP! Now my nails looks booo-​a-​licious PURR-​DY! I can’t express how happy I am with this set of nails!!! Next time I go, I’ll be sure to have her design something for Thanksgiving… and then Christmas… and then New Years… etc…
Tips and education for nail dummies (like myself):
1) Ask for Sindy if you ‘heart’ nail art designs
2) If your lucky, you can sometimes get same day appointments (like me!!)
3) Color overload! She has every color from a rainbow + more.
4) *RockStar — loose glitter sprinkled on top of your nails, cured, then a top clear coat is painted on to give it a shiny, diamond affect. Its super sparkly! And fabu!

Such a TREAT! My friend and I were in town for a special weekend & discovered Wild Orchid on Unilocal.We both received such nice mani/pedi’s that shined and stayed twice as long as most I receive. Such a lovely setting, sweet service too.
We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and the results. I would give it 5 stars if it were a little less expensive. Definitely pricey, but also worth it for a special treat!

I have mixed feelings about this place because the first time I went with my friend the experience was wonderful. Sindy was so friendly, professional and you could see that she really enjoys and loves what she is doing.
I went there the first time and loved her work.
However, my friend and I had a second voucher and we went to her again. We had made an appointment and called her cell phone a number of times and she answered saying that she will be there in 5 – 10 minutes. We ended up outside in the cold for over 45 minutes! We kept calling her and she just stopped answering her phone.
She is good at what she does and it seemed promising but her lack of care for her customers will stop me from ever going back!

LOVE, LOVE, this place! Super sweet employees! Your offered tea or water. These people are extremely nice, I was even offered some of their dinner from home (which smelled awesome btw)!
I always go for MINX pedi + mani, it’s a little pricey, but when you really let the price marinate, your actually making a smart decision. The MINX lasts for a MONTH! regular pedi + mani’s only last me 3.5days max. so im constantly spending money every week to get both mani + pedi’s done, but not with MINX! MINX is also uncommon in northern-​cali, in addition with other states. MINX is only popular in New York and LA, but of course those citites are always up to speed with the latest trends.
She also has a album, of 300+ MINX designs so it was so hard to choose from.
While I was there, I discovered another expertise she has in acrylic nail art. not any nail art, This type of nail art definitely had to orgin or derived in Japan, the ACRYLIC NAIL ART is fashionable, artsy and unique. It’s the future of all acrylic nails. I’ve never seen nail art like this before, and I have never worn acrylic nails (thats strange for a black girl huh-​lol) but from what I personally witnessed, I might consider getting my first set.
But overall, I really love this place, awesome and friendly service, and the designs are truely breath-​taking.

I LOVE THIS PLACE AND I LOVE SINDY!!!
I don’t like to call Sindy a nail technician, because she is SO much more. Sindy is an artist. I love when she and I work creatively together mashing up our ideas for my nails to get epic results. She’s the first person I’ve ever had do my nails that I felt perfectly comfortable telling what I like and don’t like… I’ve walked out of other nail salons unhappy not feeling comfortable to have said «I don’t like that» or when I did, having it not listened to. SIndy doesn’t mind how picky you are, she just wants you to be happy. And I am!!!
The environment at Wild Orchid is quite nice and up scale. Complimentary refreshments and cookies, crisp clean space with lots of natural light make this place very inviting. It’s like a nail boutique.
I won’t lie, the services are a bit more expensive than your average nail salon. But I put it in perspective like this, SIndy not only provides stellar unique service, but she also uses TOP OF THE LINE products, which mean your mani’s and pedi’s last WAY longer. For example, I used to go to other salons once every 2– 2 ½ weeks and by the time I got there i had major lifting, if not one or two tips completely torn off. With Sindy, I go every 3 – 4 weeks (closer to 4) and rarely have lifts and have only torn a nail ONCE– and that as MY FAULT. SO yes, I pay more per visit, but I visit much less, so I’m actually spending the same amount or less than at the cheaper places.
I love WIld Orchid and «my» Sindy. I’m excited to check out the Wild Orchid in Vegas next time I visit there. And I will keep seeing Sindy as long as I continue getting my nails done!
Oh and did I mention she does eye lash extensions, feather and color hair extensions, waxing and retails a number of products like eye lash growth serums etc…

I needed a place to get a manicure and pedicure before a trip… a regular manicure and pedicure. No gel, no french, no designs, no massage, nothing. Basic polish, single coat even… ONE HUNDRED AND TEN DOLLARS. I work downtown and needed to finish some Christmas shopping near Union Square so I gave this place a try. The place is beautiful and the woman who did the mani pedi was wonderful so I felt guilty for gaping angrily at her when she gave me the bill, but still, $ 110??? At least give me a glass of champagne or something to ease the shock and make the obscene overpricing a little more bearable!
I hate to give a bad review because the place was great in other regards, but the pedicure was nothing special and definitely did not deserve a $ 70 price tag. Only go if you have money to blow on basic things you can get for a quarter of the price elsewhere.

I am VERY VERY HAPPY with my nails. I have been back now many times. Sindy, Ray & Judy all do an excellent job. I am very particular about my nails, and I am happy every time. I usually either do a hard gel fill or the gel polishes (gel polish), with the tips being a different color than the nail bed. Sindy does a great job with the «bling» on the nails, and every time I see another client’s nails in her job, I am inspired to put a little bit more sparkle into my nails too.
I got gel pedicure and Ray did them and they were FABULOUS and beautiful as well!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Trust me when I say that when it comes to nail salons in the Financial District, very few of them, dare I say none of them, offer what Sindy can.
I heard about this salon from one of my girlfriends who told me that this was THE place to go for 3D, gel, and Rockstar nails — basically, all the things that are hard to find in a run-​of-​the-​mill neighborhood salon. Sindy is a true artist and is a total sweetheart — her personality totally makes you feel welcome and relaxed as she takes the creative wheel.
I knew I wanted some Holiday nails, but since I don’t have tips, I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted — all I knew was that I wanted gold and silver. I trusted Sindy and her team fully & couldn’t be more happier with my results — at the end of the day, I left with gold and silver Rockstar Toes (a technique where they dust colored glitter directly into clear gel, resulting in a pedicure that sparkles for weeks on end) and a gold glitter Gellish manicure with silver glitter accents and embedded jewel decals. Just looking down at my hands makes me happy now!
Not to mention, the studio is conveniently located in the heart of Union Square, is clean, brightly-​lit, and has a cute black-​and-​white theme showcasing some of Sindy’s amazing designs on the walls. Although this may not be the place to go if you’re looking for any old $ 8 manicure, it is a place to go when you’re looking for something a little more creative — at Wild Orchid, it’s definitely about the experience!
