Phuong Nail Station

New location: 520 Montgomery, between Clay and Montgomery. Phuong does a great job and a great price for FiDi.
She’s been doing nails since 2001, does a meticulous job and is open late. She told me that my nails weren’t strong enough for gel and did a great job with regular polish, despite the fact she could have charged more.
Perfect for after work.

Such a nice lady and did a REALLY good job on a pedicure. Call ahead or make an appointment.

Phuong was very detail-​oriented and extremeeeely patient. I never once felt rushed during my gel manicure sesh even though it was taking almost 2 hours. She wouldn’t let me go until everything was perfect. And it was :)

My husband found Phuong while we are vacationing in San Francisco. She is the best in price and quality with great personality to boot. I will recommend her with no reservation. Phuong shares her nail station with Tooba Salon. To reach her station, one has to pass the Salon section first. They are located at the intersection of Kearny and Columbus, and it took me less than five minutes walking from Hilton Hotel to get there.

Phuong is great! She’s located inside Tooba Salon but runs her own business. She’s very detail oriented, always assuring your comfort and a super nice lady. She also now does waxing!

Best ever! Phuong’s work is flawless. She really take her time and at the end you’ll have the cleanest mani, padi ever. She doesn’t have a fancy chair, but I much rather have great results. On top of that, she’s super nice and one of the most sincere people I’ve ever met in my life.

The worst experience ever. She did not do anything, shouted at me, did a horrible pedicure, left everything untouched, and wanted to call the police. Stay away. The instruments are not sterile. A very dirty place.

I have found my SF nail technician! Phuong is a very sweet lady and is she is very detail oriented. She treats her customers well and does an amazing job for a good price. I echo the ratings of everyone else on here. Another happy customer! :)

Great manicure and pedicure! She’s in the back of the hair salon so make sure you walk in to find her. Definitely going back to see her, but making an appointment first.

Phuong rocks. Best (gel/​shellac) mani I’ve gotten in SF. She is meticulous; took her time to make sure my nails look good, and they do look good! Thank goodness I found her. I’m going to go here from now on. I can’t wait to try the pedi. Tip: It’s better to make appointment. Thank you, Phuong!

Loved this place! Phuong is incredibly meticulous and spends the extra time to make your nails look absolutely perfect. I came here to get my nails done before my engagement photo shoot and this salon is my first choice the next time I have a special event.

Phuong is the most detail-​oriented and attentive nail technician I’ve ever had. My mani pedi was perfectly done. She also happens to be amazingly sweet. If only every nail technician was like her.

I always come here! Close my office! Place is very clean. Do nail is very good ! I like it！

Phuong is the sweetest most knowledgable and detail oriented nail technician. Located very close to the financial district and north beach. Plus the prices are unbeatable! I will definitely be back for a flawless manicure– and next time I’ll do the mani/​pedi combo. Highly recommended!

I found Phuong close to my hotel. I was so upset that a mani pedi I got the day before at home was totally jacked up with thick, bubbly polish application. Phuong took me within 15 minutes of my call and paid such careful attention to a polish change on my fingernails that I decided to have her also do my toes. Wow! She was amazing and her application of black polish, flawless. I wish I lived in the city so I could visit her every two weeks! You should definitely try her services, you will not be disappointed in the least! She’s a doll. Thank you Phuong :)

Five stars for Phoung.
She is the best for manicure and pedicure.
She is very professional and friendly.
I rightly recommend her.

This is probably one of the best manicures I’ve ever had! I came in and told Phuong that I did not have long because it was in the middle of the workday and I had to get back to work. I got a mani pedi and we decided to bypass the longer foot massage and lower leg scrub, as well as a long hand massage. She was very understanding and appreciated that I told her exactly how much time I had before having to go back to work, and she really worked her magic quickly! She was moving so quickly! But still was very thorough about the cuticle removal and not so quick that she ever accidentally cut me.
She really went above and beyond, more so than any other nail salon I have been to! Granted I have never been to any of the really expensive fancy ones, but for this price (which is kind of a steal in san francisco, especially this close to the financial district– and you can pay on a card, tip also!) it was a really great experience!
She was even very concerned that my nail job would get messed up on my walk back to work and was diligent to get the fan and drying drops on them right away. She even put oil and temporary plastic over my feet and put my feet back in my shoes for me! Even though I was in and out of there so quickly, I got back to work and did not have any messed up areas on my hands or feet. (And she even said, that if it did get messed up, to just come back after work to get them fixed).
Seems like they are just starting with one nail station, but if they get more business they will hire more people and you can get in and out of there even quicker! Help out this small local business, I promise you won’t regret it!
I am very particular about my mani– pedi’s– I get them quite frequently and have a few pet peeves: I hate when the color doesn’t get close to the cuticle and it already looks like my nails have grown out a week on the first day! Also, I hate when the top coat doesn’t completely cover the color coat and then the color coat chips off in these places almost immediately. And lastly, I hate when there are not enough coats or the coats of color are not even– not only because you can see through the color but also because it never lasts very long.
I am thankful to say, that even though I am super OCD about my nail jobs, this job was perfect, no problems whatsoever! And it still looked perfect after a week, which is a rarity for me!

I came here a couple weeks ago with another friend to get a gel manicure and was able to make a same day appointment. Phuong gave both my friend and I a first time customer discount! My gel nails are still looking good. Service was great and she did a good job. Even gave me tips on how to keep my nails healthier. Everything was great overall though I wish she had a greater selection of colors.

Great price and very professional. She put on many layers of polish so the gel stays on for awhile. Good color selection, but would like to see more. Overall, she did a good job.
