5 Star Spa Service Without the 5 Star Spa Prices

by Aeffia

I love going to Nova Nails. I feel comfortable with the atmosphere, the estheticians, and of course, the service is excellent. Kim, the proprietress is friendly and very conscientious about the service rendered to her clients. Some of the estheticians like Joanne tend to keep in mind the preferences of their clients and would do the manicure accordingly.

Initially, I wanted to support this establishment because of their commitment to the environment, their use of the ?green? interior, and most importantly, the lack of the chemical smell permeating throughout the spa onto the street, almost. Of course, it is significant that the hygienic standards are very high at Nova Nails as all the manicure kits are disposed of after each use.

The other big plus for Nova Nails is its location. Ah, location, location, location, right across the street from Bloomingdales. It is just so ideal to venture across the street, relax in the comfy custom spa chair and soak my tired feet a tub of aromatic warm water in just ready for that Mandarin-Honey Scrub.

my favorite nail spot in sf

by jo_march

My mani/pedi's by Linh or Nina have been great. I'm really picky about cleanliness and the shape of my nails, and Nova has delivered on both, plus a nice environment, comfy seats. I'm a big fan. The price is so reasonable for the skill and sanitary practices. Stop walking out of nail salons unsatisfied with your hurried, dirty treatment and go to Nova!

• Pros: detailed, very clean, later appts (6 pm!!)

clean place & good mani/pedi

by joiedevivre

Two main things for me: cleanliness and skill. This place is a definitely nicer and a big notch above nail chop shops but the price for the basic mani/pedi is not that much more and is well worth it considering the care they take and the clean, neat surroundings. I also liked their color selection. I guess a lot of people would appreciate that it's a "green" business that uses some natural products and recycled bldg materials, which is nice, but for me it all comes down to skill (for the price) and cleanliness. You won't be disappointed with this cute nail salon.

• Pros: clean, detailed/skilled mani/pedi, new; easy 5ht& Mission garage prkg
