Sen Beauty Spa

I received a great gel mani/​pedi here. I have tried a lot of different salons in the marina and this is the best one. The staff takes their time and you do not feel rushed. Also they have a sample of all the colors so you know what they will look like, and they can match your gel color to your pedi regular color which is amazing, I have not seen that before! They have a great color selection and my polish lasted over 2 weeks on both my fingers and my toes! They are a bit more then — few other salons in the area, however, at $ 50 for a gel mani with pedicure. I will definitely be back though.

It’s impossible to find a spa mani/​pedi for such an inexpensive price! I don’t want to say cheap because that is doing them a disservice. The care and time taken to do my nails was so appreciated. The women working were incredibly nice and personable. They did a hot lotion and hot stone massage for both mani and pedi… And again so inexpensive! Wish we lived closer !!

The ladies here are super nice. They make sure to do your nails right!

This salon is the best that I have ever been. Everything are clean. Christine and her team are good and friendly. Although it took me long time to do mani/​pedi, my mani/​pedi were perfect. I’ll come back!

The 90 minutes it took for my most recent gel manicure was worth it! Christine pays so much attention to detail and is true nail technician professional. My last gel manicure lasted 3 weeks and would’ve lasted longer but I couldn’t stand how long my nails grew. Christine is so nice and I am so glad I finally found the best nail salon in SF!

OMG I am so excited about my nails, Christine and her team was AMAZING, she did everything perfect, after the men do my hands, she check back again and color gel on my hands, Very nice, I’m very excited to have found my new nail guru:))thank you christine and her team, I will com back again

Came here in a pinch on a Sunday night and am blown away by the poor service.
$ 50 for a gel mani/​regular pedi is normal — no complaints there.
My issue is with the staff. Christine is great (as other reviews point out) but I was unaware that I needed to explicitly request her service otherwise I would be passed around to 3 other people.
An hour and 45 minutes later, Christine was up to put the final coat of gel on my hands and apologized that it took so long and then proceeded to tell me that I need to request her moving forward and she could get me in/​out in an hour or less.
Lesson learned.

I’m super not sure why this has 5 stars… I even drove all the way to Marina to try this place. Everyone was friendly, and my nails look fine, and the place is clean and around one of my favorite neighborhoods. But I guess I expected more… apparently they have massage chairs but no one told me that… I did a Mani/​pedicure with callus remover and add on parrafin wax. My nails on hand still dirty underneath… and my pedicure… scrub on only part of foot, no lotion, no pumice… he did scrub with a pumice sponge I think but not sure… I wanted callus remover and pretty sure he didn’t do it (if he did I have better stuff at home) …and…yeah, I can do way better at home and get my feet way softer… its not like this place isn’t nice or this was the worst experience ever but… this was super disappointing. Won’t be back. Why is this 5 stars!!!

This is where you get spectacular mani/​pedi in the city. The girls are very friendly, communicative and do a very meticulous job around the cuticles. You will never find a nail salon like this one in the area. I drive all the way from Berkeley hills, hit traffic, spend minutes looking for parking spot, but I don’t care, I know I’ll get a perfect service after all.
I’m very particular with the way my nails need to be done (I’m Brazilian, we like it very clean on the cuticles) and they go beyond my expectations.

Christine is a perfectionist. Every time I want my nails done I always come here and the results are always perfect. She takes her time unlike other nail salons where they’re always in a rush. I had a gel mani pedi today and it was perfect.

Finally, I found my nail salon.
They do an amazing job with cuticle, nail shaping, and nail polish application.
Highly recommend.

Went here because it was close to our hotel. I got a manicure and pedicure, and my mother did the same. Mom also got her eyebrows waxed. The staff was friendly and professional, and the prices were reasonable. I would come back here next time I visit the area.

I have been searching for a good gel nail salon because I took my acrylic nails off and there’s no good place in SF. Was recommended Christine by a friend and she is amazing! My nails look so good! She pays attention to detail and is so sweet! I highly recommend her!

The BEST mani pedi I have ever had! Clean shop, sweet people and impeccable technique. Christine and her brother, sorry didn’t get his name, are so professional and they asked me several times if my nails were ok. OPI Polish, hot stone, and scrub, what else does a girl need?

Christine and team are amazing. They are the queens of gel manicures. I hesitate to write this review for fear of others finding her :(
Price: Gel manicures are $ 30, but worth every penny. My gel manicures usually last 7 days, but she makes them stretch to 2 (sometimes 3) weeks! She is detailed oriented and efficient.
Salon: The salon is no-​frills, but I don’t like to pay premium for ambience. She has some great pedicure chairs and very friendly staff.
Color selection: A wide variety of Essie, OPI and DND (gel) colors. I’ve never had a problem finding one I liked

Definitely my favorite nail salon in the marina. It’s obviously better to call in to make an appointment but usually the wait isn’t too long. Everyone there is super friendly and they do take the time do do your nails really well. Love the atmosphere here and I will definitely come back here again for another great gel manicure!

Christine did an amazing job! She takes her time and really cares for her customers. I am so happy with my first ever gel manicure :)

If you are looking for the best gel manicure in SF, look no further. Christine is the absolute best – I’ve gone to so many different salons in the Fidi, Mission and Marina and the attention she pays to trimming your cuticles and getting each layer perfect is incomparable. Even if she’s busy she’ll make time for you. Sen also offers other services like waxing and eyelash extension, this salon is truly a hidden gem on Lombard.
For the Fourth of July I asked Christine to do an American flag design on one of my nails and she did it just like the picture and in gel! She’s amazing!
I’m so happy to have finally found a great manicurist in SF!

My current gel manicure was already looking pretty beat up after only 2 weeks so I decided to get my nails done while visiting the fiancé here in SF. He remembered how much I loved and raved about the pedicure and gel manicure I had before and recommended that I go to the same place.
I was definitely reminded why this will be the ONLY nail salon I will go to for my nails. They are all very attentive and meticulous about their clients’ nails. Christine, in particular, ensured that my nails were absolute perfection, free of any hangnails or jagged edges. She took her time to make sure that my nails were up to her amazing standards. She even remembered me from more than a few months ago!
I will definitely be back! Thank you so much! I love my nails!

Holy moly magical manicure!
I wandered in this week because I’d always seen the spot (and know it’s changed hands many times) and felt it had a nice vibe.
I did a walk-​in around 5pm and was treated to a fantastic non-​gel manicure pedicure for $ 35. I am writing five days later to say that one hand is 100% perfect and my writing hand is slightly chipping. I am super impressed! My toes are 100% perfect, but I also can go 3 – 4 weeks without chipping so we’ll see how they are then.
I believe the owner was one of the ladies who was «on me» and she was very friendly and welcoming, especially when I told her I was a local who’d lived in the hood for a very long time.
My only minor complaint was that my session was extremely relaxing until three patrons walked in. I all of a sudden felt I was being rushed and the procedures felt a little rushed on my hands and feet. I understand that salons want to serve as many as possible, especially at the end of the day when they’ve likely been slower and people start to wander in after work without a reservation, but I also believe you should continue giving great service to those who are in the seat. This won’t stop me from coming in (again and again), it’s just a comment for the staff to take note of: it’s obvious when things are rushed!
