Zenbi Nails

Came in for a quick gel removal and she did a great job and even filed my nails down. All for only $ 5 so I have a great tip. Not many seats so CALL AHEAS FOR SURE! Really nice people :)

Went in on a Saturday afternoon, they weren’t busy and took me and my friend in right away. I got a gel mani and a regular pedicure for $ 40. They did a great job!

I’m highly recommended this is place. It’s really good deal $ 25 for manicure and pedicure and tons of color. The salon super clean.

Not recommended! expensive for the quality of service you get. There are better places nearby. wouldnt go back

$ 25 for a Gel Mani. Clean. Quality work. (On day 8 right now and they are still looking brand new.) Defintiely will be back.

I’ve been here a few times. The first time I came my nails lasted for about 4 days. The second time I came to get my gel polish off and they destroyed my nails. The salon is nice but unfortunately they do an awful job.

My friends girlfriend referee me here. I was in town visiting from Hawaii and had got my nail done 7 days prior. The nail shop in Hawaii did such shot ruble job I had to stop in the middle of vacation to get my nail fixed.
Needless to say I wanted to wait to write a review. Well it’s been 19 days and this gel paint job is still fabulous. I would recommend this salon to everyone.

Best place to get your nails done (gel manicures and pedicures more specifically)!
I used to go down the road but those ladies are carless.
The technicians at Zenbi are caring, friendly and VERy good at their practice!
Always satisfied with my gel manis– the longest lasting applications i have ever had.
The place itself is really small but not an issue for me.
Prices are average and if not better than most on chestnut st

I have been coming here since they opened 5 years ago. The Marina is cluttered with nail salons so it’s a tough call unless like me, you have lived here for 15 years and given most of them a try. When I started coming here, my search was finally over. They are careful to detail and pay attention to your preferences. For instance, most places ignore my request for a skinny french tip for my gel manicure and paint a thick tip which does not look natural. Mary is very attentive to make sure my tip is thin and Jenny does an absolutely fabulous pedi.
All in all, these guys are fabulous and I recommend them highly.

This place was pretty cool. It’s not the spot for you if you want a fancy, massage chair, champagne, over the top manicure. However, if you just wants your nails to look good and to feel relaxed, it’s perfect. A friend and I came here totally by accident but I’m so glad we did!
I got a gel manicure and my friend got a gel mani and regular pedi. It’s a small space but they have comfy leather chairs for relaxation. For her pedicure they brought out a bowl of warm water with rose pedals in it. They sit on stools and roll up to you (even if you’re just getting a mani) which is nice because this is far more comfortable than the tables you usually sit at for a manicure elsewhere.
The place was empty when we got there but slowly started filling up. Even as a line began to form, the lady doing my nails took her time and paid attention to detail. The nails looked great and she even ended with a warm lotion massage for my hands and arms.
All in all I’d definitely come back here next time I’m in the area. Super friendly and a great outcome!

Ali I can say is I guess you get what you pay for! She hardly used the loofa, no massage on the feet and legs! Pedicure done in 10 minutes. Seriously take your money elsewhere!

I have come here a couple of times when I was in a jam. Today was the last time I will go. They told me when I came in to wait 15 mins. 20 mins later and I am still sitting there. Then they tell me they actually can’t take me– what?!? Heres the truth: way too cramped space, mediocre service, not friendly, lack of good polish options. Won’t be back.

I have been here a total of three times now. Being a vetted mani/​pedi experiencer, this is saying a lot! Zenbi is a few streets away from my apartment in Cow Hollow, so the convenience helps a bit — but I’ve been known to travel across the city for an exceptional gel manicure that will last. No need to do that now that I’ve found this little gem! I’ve had a different girl each time and ALL of them are incredible at attention to detail with cuticles/​gel application. The space is quaint and tiny, but I think that only adds to the coziness. Big comfy chairs, clean, and quiet. You won’t experience any gossip between these ladies and the warm towels at the end of the manicure is a fantastic finale. My gel nails always last a little over 2 weeks and the polish on my toes lasts about 5 – 6 weeks. Surprisingly the price is a little BELOW what I think they could charge for this area. A++ Zenbi :)

I’m surprised there are so many negative reviews. I have been coming here 1 – 2 times a month for years, and have never had an issue. Sure, the place isn’t fancy, but the prices are great and the nail technicians do a good job. I’ve also never waited more than 15 minutes for a walk in appointment.

I wanted to give this place a Zero but you can only start with 1 star! Do not come here !!! I repeat it’s the worst Nail place ever. They do not scrub, they do not take even all your nail polish off! I didn’t feel a massage and I had a manicure & pedicure! Ridiculous, how do they stay open! I took my friend here and she only had a pedi and I was done with my mani & Pedi way before hers! The place is not fancy nor friendly or do a good job! How these people got their license is my question!!!
Never coming here again!

Awful. I have never been treated so bad. I pre payed for a mani pedi since I had to run after. I walked in at 1:09…and by 1:17 they were ready to paint my nails. No massage no scrub, the lady kept rolling her eyes at me. When I noticed my nails were still dirty I asked her to stop. She was so sloppy and acted like she did not want to touch me, both techs! But the lady who did my finger nails was awful. When I asked for a refund she said NO! And when I asked for a partial refund she yelled at me asked me to never come back. Fine lady keep your 22 $ I will NEVER go back and since I work on Fillmore I will deff tell my own clients and friends never to go here. I was humiliated. Even people on the street could hear her yell at me! Please never go here, try a few places on union or Fillmore.

This nail salon is a hidden gem in the marina. The prices are incredibly reasonable for this area, and the quality is unbeatable. I will go two to three weeks without having to have my gel mani re-​done. These girls get super close to the cuticle which makes it last so much longer! When I want to give my nails a break from the gel, I get their regular mani/pedi’s which last longer then any other i’ve had in SF. The service is swift and I rarely have to wait longer then 5 minutes to get a seat.
Ladies, if you’ve had a long stress full week, opt for the 10 min neck massage. Just about every girl has strongest then usual hands and will work out any kinks/​tension if you ask them to. It is absolute heaven for $ 8! :)
Thanks for taking such good care of me ladies!

Literally the best gel mani I’ve ever had. Perfect edges, perfect shape, perfect everything, and efficient to boot! If you’re in SF and need a mani or pedi, do yourself a favor and get yourself to this place!

I have been going here for a few years, but something has changed this year. Sadly, I will be finding a new salon. I thought I could list the Pros and Cons and people can decide for themselves.
PROs:
–Clean salon
–Quick
–Priced competitively for San Francisco
–Zoya and Opi brands available
–Comfortable chairs
CONs:
–sloppy manicures: I’ve had a few too many manicures with jagged nails or uneven paint jobs.
–Attitudes: Some of the ladies are nice, but there is one who unfortunately very rude and doesn’t do a good job. I tried to point out a few things that needed to be fixed (uneven nail, or a hang nail) and she dismissed me. Then told me if I didn’t like it, I shouldn’t come to their salon. This has happened more than once.
–No massage chairs
–Small space

After dropping my car off to get serviced at the Marina Honda, I had about an hour to kill, so I walked around Chestnut St. with the thought of getting a pedicure. I saw Zenzi Nails (formerly Nail Touch), and there were two manicurists chatting by the door, as there was no one inside just yet.
They greeted me warmly, asked if I wanted anything to drink, and seated me in one of 5 chairs. They had me pick a type of bath salt/​fizz to add to my water (how cute), and asked me to pick a color.
The place itself is very small — maybe 5 – 6 people in there at once? But despite the small size, it’s comfortable, airy and bright. The ladies are all very, very nice (mine didn’t talk to me much, but they all made sure I had everything I wanted or needed). A few minutes later, someone walked in for another pedicure, and I can kind of see the fumes bunching up in the room if more people were to be there, since it’s so small.
Really great French pedicure job, but I wish they did a bit more of the skin smoothing on the bottom of my feet. But hey, for $ 19, I can’t complain much. Plus, they take credit cards. At the end, one of the ladies asked how the service was, and I told her everything was great. I especially appreciate how they didn’t chatter with each other while working on my nails.
They also offer waxing (I spotted a bit of the price list and it’s $ 12 for a brow wax), but I’d rather go to my regular spot for that. But overall a great place to get a quick nail job.
