Nails by Lisa

Complete NIGHTMARE!!! Went in to get my nails done, I had gel tips on that I had put on in Los Angeles. The woman literally took a pair of nail cutters and ripped my nail off including my own! I was shocked and in excruciating pain!!! I cant believe this happened to me and I am thinking about taking legal action against them. Do yourself a favor and stay as far away as possible from this place.

So I had gel nail ($ 20 ONLY !!!) pretty cheap price. I cannot complain much honestly, but the nails came off within a week for me :(My friends’ nails came off in about two days. I think they put them on too thick that it was peeling off so quick …
Again … for $ 20. I cannot say much
You get what you pay for …

Been coming here for a while now and always find myself coming back so I guess you can say it’s a good nail shop. I don’t prefer the pedicures here but I’ll definitely get a full set. Completely affordable, friendly, and help you achieve the nail you want. Also, ask for tom!

Oh ho ho… so I totally thought this was Nails by LINDA not LISA… since I live super close and passed it almost every week when I would walk to The Dailey Method…
My nails were bare and I wanted to get gel for my honeymoon since they dont chip and peel, and this is right by my house… UNFORTUNATELY for me, I didn’t bother to really look at the name and thought they were nails by linda who supposedly do an awesome job at nail art… I came here…
Totally didn’t realize my mistake until she started filing my nails when i asked her, «Oh do you own nails by linda on taraval too???» and I realized I failed in life. LOL
but i was like… ah how bad can it be?
She was fast. that’s for sure… it was decent not bad, I asked for a chevron design on one figure and it looked like a kid did it. my sister said it looks cute… like on purpose childish like. OK lol. She did miss like the corners, and some corners were too full. she didn’t clean well. she did get sorta angry when she told me to grab my phone from my pocket… so that she could see the design and my nails were slightly already painted so she had to redo two of them. CMON it only too 30 secs to wipe off and repaint, with the clear coat!
luckily not too much trash talking in vietnamese… since i can understand you my friend~~~
But yes… I would not come back… unless i was desperate…

I had been to this salon before and the reason why was because they were the only salon I know of here that still did the glitter powder acrylic nails. Went today, they no longer do them. Okay fine, I wanted regular acrylics then with glitter nail polish simulating the glitter tips I went for.
They were obviously pushy with the selling of «gel polish is better», so figured I’d try. Being that I’m paying for what I want, I’m going to say what looks uneven or bad, the man was having a fit from me telling him that something didn’t look right, then for correcting him on the color I had chosen. He told a lady to finish my nails and he went off upset. The lady then finished painting my nails and to be honest, they do not look good. They’re not terrible, but I’m certainly not going back. I pretty much am going to fix them and get them elsewhere and a loss of $ 30. Whatever.

Sloppy. Super rushed… No attention to detail. Save your money!!! Lisa rushed through the entire thing. I could’ve done a better job if I painted my own nails… Too bad. Hella close to my new home.

I was here this afternoon and experienced terrible customer service. The owner Lisa was rude and nasty and I will never go back to this nail shop ever again. Lisa also pushed a young woman and refused her service and stated that everyone in the shop can leave.
Don’t waste your time coming here!!!

Best full set of acrylics I have ever gotten! Not so sure about the level of hygiene, but I was very satisfied. I came in to get an acrylic fill but Lisa noticed that my nails were abysmally done. If I hadn’t gotten a new set, I might’ve gotten an infection! The nails done by Lisa have stayed on really nicely and were very affordable.

Got my nails done for a wedding. Tom shaped my nails perfectly. I’ll be back, for sure.

My first couple experiences were fine, and at best mediocre for a good price. But after today I will never be coming here again. All I wanted was a simple pedicure and wasn’t treated or acknowledged at all for almost two hours. After a long wait Lisa finally clapped in my face to signal that there was hot boiling water waiting for me. After sitting in water for half an hour I was finally given an awful pedicure for $ 16. When I told her that I had to leave (which was in part due to the meter running out of time) she snatched my credit card from me and slammed it down on her counter. I definitely do NOT recommend this nail shop.

I’ve given this place a try 3 times. And all 3 times it has disappointed. Do not bother coming here.

My first experiences at this nail shop weren’t bad, I was recommended to it by a friend because full gel sets were only $ 25. After a couple times the service got crappy. The second to last time I was getting a full set for my birthday and although I liked my nail design that I wanted I felt like they were done rushed and care free, I was cut on about 4 fingers as well, also there was a lot of extra acrylic on some nails that made them look fatter than others. Now, the last time I went this past week I drew the line, I was cut again and it caused my fingers to get infected –_​– such a horrible thing to deal with and oh on top of that I was charged extra for «longer nails» which they never did to me before. Definitely won’t be returning EVER again. Like they say I guess you get what you pay

If you can do your nails at home, you’re better off.
I had gel manicure and wanted it to be removed before I got a regular manicure.
They were busy, I get that. But how about tell me that when I walk in, as opposed to starting to soak my nails in acetone and leave me in those aluminum wraps for about 40min.
Finally this lady started working on my nails. I don’t know what her name is, but gosh is she RUDE!
I say «please paint all of my nail» she talks back at me and goes «this is all of your nail!»
WOMAN, look closely, take your time, and don’t take 5min to paint my nails. Paint them thoroughly!
And then she finished two coats of color, and got up and left.
A couple minutes later I told Tom to do the top coat because I had to rush out. I see a piece of skin that she hadn’t removed properly when she was cutting my cuticles, I point it out, and he was ABOUT to pull it out. I was like «not with your hand».
Seriously, don’t go here, you’re better off going to any other Nail Salon. It’s cheap, but it’s REALLY not worth it. Pay $ 3 more and get an actual manicure, where they care about you, and don’t just want to have a fast turnaround.
Too bad I couldn’t go to my go to place in Pacifica today. I usually go to Southland Nails in Pacifica, and I feel like this is what I got for betraying them
I’ve never been less relaxed at a nail salon, I’ve never been treated so rudely, and I’ve never seen such HORRIBLE customer service.

I went here to get my nails done for my birthday with my two friends
I was expecting it to be relaxing and… it wasn’t!!!
I have never felt more rushed and uncomfortable in my life.
Not only did he rush to do my nails but he made me feel like a jerk for wanting the color I wanted. He kept pushing me to choose a different color because he made it seem like it would take too long to achieve that color.
Eventually, I felt so rushed and stressed over it that I picked another color that I didn’t really want.
And I could tell, even being a fluent English speaker that they were making fun of me. At one point the lady looked at me and laughed.
So, pretty much I’m never coming back.
I advise you not to go, but if you’re adventurous and like taking risks then go ahead!!!
This place deserves all the one star reviews they get FOR A REASON!

Worst service ever! I used to come here on the daily, now the service here is just bad. Waited about 30mins to even get attended and there was only 2 other clients in the shop. Not even 1 smile…

It was my first time trying this place and the customer service was extremely bad. The lady finished painted my nails in a neon-​yellowed colored and was getting ready to put on the top coat. After she painted the top coat on, my neon-​yellowed nail turned into a neon-​yellowed with black stripes. She saw it and was lazy to fix it so she told me that that’s the effect the top coat gives. I told her that’s not what I wanted and asked if she can fix it and her response was «No, if you don’t like it then you can leave.» I was extremely upset so I told her to remove all the nail polish and I left after without paying.

Just got my nails done!!! It’s been soooo long!!! So happy!!! This is TOM he did my nails and he did an amazing job! I love them! He takes care of you. He has the magic touch! Very gentle with your hands I can’t tell you how many times people are rough with my hands really great work thank you so much!!! #nailsbylisa @nailsbylisa #sf #thecity #citycollege #nailsdone #greatwork #treattomyself #yay #happy #grateful #thankyougod !

Metered street parking unless you circle around into the residential area.
Dingy hole in the wall no frills type of nail salon, so yea expect the person working on you to talk smack about you. If this bothers you, go to a real spa.
I just spent 9 days in the middle of a desert so my skin, hair, nails and feet are WRECKED by the playa dust. With only a few precious days of vacation left, I didn’t have much time to be picky. I dropped in to Nails by Lisa because a friend of mine comes here all the time. Guess I should’ve kept in mind that she comes for the designs…
I don’t do gel, nor do I care for designs. I just needed a pedicure and I needed one bad. Nails by Lisa got the job done. Lisa was working on another customer intermittently with Tom (her husband apparently). Some other lady worked on me. She wasn’t very happy with my feet (sorry, I had a lot of fun at Burning Man ok?) but she didn’t mouth off too much in Viet.
This place is quick and gets the job done, although not as meticulous as most. The lady didn’t clean up my cuticles very well and it was only when I was on a couch later did I notice that… she painted OVER my cuticles. What the heck? Upon closer inspection, my big toe still has paint past my nail all up on my toe. I had to clean it myself w/​a qtip.
Not a huge selection of colors. They have some OPI but many of them are old and dried out (you can SEE how dried out the formula is) a couple China Glaze, and a bunch of generic brands that are carried at Walgreens. I would recommend bringing your own. I’m an Essie kinda gal and that they didn’t have.
Was that pedi really worth $ 14? I’m leaning towards no, although the wax dip at the end was very nice — my feet are baby soft.
P. S. I don’t know how what their S.O.P. for cleaning is on that hot wax… I really don’t want to know how many feet were dipped into it prior to mine.

What can I say about this place. They are great. I’ve been going there for years. They do the designs you want and in a timely matter. I’ve never had to wait too long. Plus when you get a pedicure they give you hot wax to soften your feet.

Quick, great work, sweet staff. I will most def return. I paid $ 41 for take off, gel overlay, hand design, and eye brows! In a word… AWESOME.
Fast forward 2 days the gel on 3 nails has cracked!!! I want to cry!
