The Final Touch 2

Wendy and her staff are the best! My gel manicures consistently hold up for 3 weeks and the quality far surpasses my experiences elsewhere. I return to her salon time and time again despite having moved to a different neighborhood!

love this nail place in so many ways! definitely a sweet neighborhood spot that has a great experience all around.

Wendy is an acrylic Goddess. I always get compliments on my acrylics and everyone is always in disbelief/​shock when I tell them they’re fake! They look completely real! The ladies here are all so nice and friendly too.

I went in today and I have to say my experience here was fantastic. I get nervous to go to nail salons and try to get what I want for my nails. Wendy was so gentle with my hands. I asked for acrylic with gel on top and I love them! All the other ladies were nice as well. My sister got a gel mani and her nails are really nice as well. I will definitely be coming back soon!

I have been coming here for a little while now — even though it’s all the way across town. The reasons are 1) they do an excellent job, every time 2) they can get me in quickly and 3) they have a nice rapport and relationship with the customers; I have noticed that many of their customers are multi-​generational regulars and treated like family. The owner is a true gem :) Thank you for providing such good service and care.

Had such a great experience today. Came to get gel manicures/​pedicures with my mom. Wendy, Diane and Ha were all very friendly and thorough. Mom was so happy with her nails that she said she felt like «she was 30 again». The ladies have a great working relationship and were helping each other out. They take great pride in their work and made us feel very comfortable and pampered. We will definitely be back. We found our new regular spot!

I love Final Touch. I only have my mani and pedis done here. I have been coming here for 22 years. I have tried other nail salons in the city but Wendy’s place is the best. Very relaxing and low key. The prices are very reasonable for the service you receive.
It is very unpretentious. All the women that work in the salon are good at their jobs. They are friendly, caring and nice. I always feel like I am going to visit old friends when I have my nails done at Final Touch. Give it a try you will be happy you did.

I love this place. I moved to Oakland and tried a few nail salons there but none have done my nails as good as Wendy and Tina. I was in the area yesterday, called an hour ahead for a mani and then called back to add a pedi when I was free earlier. I could tell they would be a little busy and I was more of a last minute appointment, but they had a chair for me to sit in and quickly set me up with the vibrating tub to soak, and I loved it. I hate rushing the soak part! I didn’t mind the waiting at all, especially since I was early.
I am very picky about the job done, how long it lasts as I am a nurse who is hard on my hands at work and at home. They are just the best. Very friendly, but leave you alone if you just want peace and relaxing quiet. They are fast but not overly so, and the place is clean, nothing fancy. I usually can find a parking spot on the street very nearby. Oh and they have a super fun and organized polish collection. I love that!

I’ve been coming here for about a year, and its the best mani/​pedi service I’ve ever had! I come in every 3 – 4 weeks and my nails stay nearly perfect (gel and paint never chips or peels, I’m just clumsy and abrasive) between each visit. People are always shocked at how long my gel nails last and how nice they look. Wendy is amazing and so are all the women there. They’re totally accommodating and affordable. Also gives me a chance to brush up on my Vietnamese. :D Thank you ladies! Unilocalers, make sure to check this shop out.

This place is a great place to get your nails done. I used to come here pretty often to get my nails done since I went to school close by. I would almost always get a gel manicure. All of the employees do a really good job and my nails did not chip. The price is really reasonable too. I would advise any one going there to call ahead of time, amen an appointment and make sure your name is on their list, even if that means calling again to double check.
I did not give them a better rating because I called ahead of time make an appointment and when I got there, I ended up waiting at least an hour to get my nails done. My appointment was at 6pm and I did not end up leaving until sometime after 8pm (after their closing time!). Since I do not work/​live in this part of San Francisco anymore, I am not sure if I will be back anytime soon. I would love to come back since they did such a good job, but I do not want to risk having to wait so long.
Note: Because of this incident, instead of paying $ 30 for my gel manicure, she gave me a $ 5 discount and I only had to pay $ 25, but it still doesn’t justify having to wait so long.

I love the people here. They do such a good job and are very friendly. I come here often and just recently started bringing my stepdaughter. She always asks for designs which they are happy to do. And they do SUCH a good job! I will only go to this place to get my nails done. I would suggest making an appointment because they can get busy.

This is a very clean, wonderful place to get nails done! The ladies did a great job with my cuticles especially, which is something important to me. It helps that they were personable and friendly!!! Will for sure come back for gel manicure and pedicure

Wendy and crew have become like family to me. Like I mentioned before, she is very accommodating and I am always able to schedule an advanced reservation for both myself and mom-​in-​law without any problems. She always has seats ready for reserved patrons because she is careful about never overbooking. Whenever a prospective walk-​in customer inquires about the wait time, Wendy is very honest and let’s them know how long the wait will be and when to comeback for service. Even if all the chairs are full, the wait time is never too long.
Wendy and her assistants are nail experts and they operate quickly and efficiently. I am very pleased with the way they take the time to trim and shape my fingernails and toenails because I know it isn’t always a simple task!
The service here is always excellent and everyone leaves with beautiful nails and a smile!

Consistently the best mani pedi I’ve ever had! I’ve been to many salons and paid a wide range over the years but this place nails it every time!
I am rough on my manis and yet when I go to Final Touch 2 they always last a week minimum! Also I’m very picky about the length and evenness of my nails. They always get it right! I don’t even worry about trimming before I go in anymore!
Lastly, if you want to beat the rush they will sometimes open early for you!

Love Wendy and staff — all are awesome. She does the best acrylic and gel nails. I have been coming to her for years. Always accommodating — squeezing me in last minute. They are great. Would highly recommend!

I’ve gotten my nails done since I was 14 and have gone through my fair share of nail salons all over the city. I came across the Final Touch on Unilocal and decided to pay a visit in a dire need of some nail care and have fell in love since!
Wendy is so sweet and professional and all the other ladies are always smiling and super welcoming. I’ve tried all their services ranging from pedicures, manicures, gel manicures and acrylics and have never left disappointed. They also have a wide range of colors to choose from for regular nail polishes and gel colors. This is now my only go to spot!

I really am not sure how this place has a 5 star rating. I gave this place a go twice already and my gel manicure experience has been very bad in terms of the quality of the manicure.
Service is great but at the end of the day my nails should manicured so that I don’t have to feel like I need another one next day.
— nails are shaped well but my one of my nails are peeling already
— a few of my nails are painted with just one layer on the sides
— few nails chipping
I’m very particular about my nails and I really am not sure how this place has 5 stars. There are better places in SF in this neighborhood you can go to– mine was an emergency deal and I unfortunately decided to give then a benefit of the doubt and give it a try again.

Definitely one of my FAVORITE nail salons ever.
You get a good VALUE by coming to get your nails done here. The Mani Pedi for $ 28 here could easily go for $ 42 somewhere else. Actually I usually pay much more somewhere else.
Important Elements of Mani Pedi
POLISH: You have your choice of mainly OPI, ESSIE, SOME Chanel, Zoya and Vinylux. Also you have the option of Gel. Hundreds of color choices. My REGULAR Manicures can usually last a week
SERVICE: The work the ladies do on trimming your cuticles, cleaning your hands and feet and are really sweet. They don’t say bad things about you in Vietnamese (I am Vietnamese and I always listen in). Wendy, the owner is a real sweetheart!
MASSAGE: Somewhat skimpy — but not my favorite part
EXTRAS: Hot Towels for hands and Feet. Pedicure also had an exfoliant scrub included.
Logistics:
PARKING: Street Parking (Meters) and neighborhood. There is the Jewish Center /​UCSF ($ 3.50/hour) lots near by.
APPOINTMENTS: Do make an appointment as the salon can get busy and you may be waiting with your feet soaking.
I will definitely come back again to this nail salon! I wish it were closer to my apartment so I could go more often! Reasonable prices and Quality Work!

Nothing but wonderful things to say about Wendy and her awesome team!
My roommates and I get acrylics done with Wendy and they turn out flawless each time. She shapes and buffs each nail out to make it look perfect. If you are looking for a great place to get acrylics, look no further.
I recommend making an appointment if you want to get acrylics because they take time! But you’ll be in good hands with Wendy.

Pedicure time!
Although it’s a bit far from my place the stellar Unilocal reviews influenced me to try out Final Touch 2. I arrived after work around 6 PM and they seated me right away for my pedicure. I asked for French tips and they told me that would be $ 5 extra which I have never encountered before but oh well it’s what I wanted. The lady was really nice and filled my nails down perfectly =) The foot bath was very sanitary as it was covered in plastic which prevents any weird stuff from passing from customer to customer.
The lady meticulously painted my nails, and when I accidentally nicked a corner on my flip flop she came back with the polish and fixed it. Unfortunately two days later the paint on my big toe already chipped a bit so it still was not that long lasting =(Great service though! I paid $ 25 for my French pedicure.
