THE MUSE SF

Listen, Cherry is THAT GIRL when it comes to hard/Japanese gel, including nail art. As long as you bring an inspo or reference pic, she can do almost anything. More importantly though, the gel application is perfect every time. I haven't had any issues with lifting, and each set has lasted a minimum of 4 weeks. My most recent set with the painted cherries is 6 weeks old (!!!) and the only way you'd know is the crazy long length and negligible paint chipping along the very edge, which is frankly insane. Almost wanted to gatekeep but I want Cherry and this salon to do well! It's really clean and nice inside, everyone is friendly, and the price point is extremely fair for SF proper, esp considering the location right in Hayes Valley.

I GOT SUCH CUTE NAILS! everyone seemed very nice and despite the space being not the largest, my boyfriend was given a space to sit. thank you so much! im very happy with these! if i have the chance i am DEFINITELY coming back

My nails have honestly never looked better! My red set lasted over 5 weeks w/ no chipping. I just replaced them with the koi fish since it was getting grown out. Cherry’s skill is crazy when it comes to getting the design I wanted… just come in with something ready and she’ll execute 💅 Every nail tech I’ve had here has taken care of me so well. Lynn and her team are the best!!!

I absolutely love this nail salon. I requested hyper-realistic nails, and the results exceeded my expectations — they look so natural, you would think they were my own. The technicians took their time to perfectly match and blend the colors for an impressively seamless finish. Excellent service and exceptional quality. A full 10/10.

I’m getting married this week and I leave tomorrow and I voiced that to my nail tech, i could tell the girls doing my nails were talking about my toes and their shape (something I’m incredibly insecure about). I asked my nail tech for French white tip with chrome and they are literally uneven, and slightly crooked. I’m incredibly frustrated because I had very high expectations especially since a month ago I received MUCH better service than today. I can’t say that I’ll be back and I definitely don’t think the nails are worth what I paid for. UPDATE: the owner got back to me and she said she would refund me for my nails since I could not come back in to get them redone since my we left for my wedding the following day. We had agreed that she was going to refund me for the nails and now she’s saying I can only get a refund for the French style ($20!!) I paid $150 for nails that were not completed properly and my toe nails did not even last two days before they were chipping even though the nail tech told me they’d last 2 weeks because I did gel instead of regular polish. Incredibly disappointed.
