Best Nail Salons In San Francisco

“I had such a lovely experience here the other day!! Lynh remembered me from when I called the day before, worked so hard to pick all the right colors for my look, and Wing delivered a technical slam dunk!!!! Seriously everyone was so sweet and made me feel so comfortable. Idk how I ever got my nails done anywhere else before. Highly recommend :)“

“Tiffany and her team are incredible. Amazing attention to detail and long relaxing massages. This is my new place!!!“

“I’ve tried many nail salons, but this one is truly the best. They take their time and never rush the service. The results always exceed my expectations.“

“Jenny was fantastic, she was thoughtful and efficient with my pedicure and fixed my ingrown toenail. I would highly recommend her!“

“Chrystal was very attentive and asked lots of questions about my hair preferences and how I style it, etc. She did a terrific job on my cut and she was really easy to talk to during my hour with her! I am looking forward to my next appointment with her.“

“I stopped by Yellow Orchid Massage after a long day exploring San Francisco, and I honestly didn’t expect much — but it turned out to be one of the best massage experiences I’ve had in a while. The place is tucked away on the 2nd floor, quiet and very clean. The front staff was calm and welcoming, and they didn’t try to upsell anything, which I appreciated.
I went with a 60-minute full body massage and requested medium to firm pressure. The therapist was extremely skilled — she focused on all the tension points in my back and shoulders without me even pointing them out. What impressed me the most was how present and attentive she was throughout the session — no distractions, no rushed feeling. Walked out feeling lighter, looser, and way more relaxed. Definitely a hidden gem in downtown SF“

“I’ve been coming to Zen Day Spa for years! It’s my favorite go-to nail salon and great that is right in my neighborhood! The environment is clean and soothing with comfortable massage chairs, mellow music, and overall relaxing environment. I’ve loved every service including manicure, pedicure and even full body massage. Everyone is friendly, welcoming, and do a great job. I highly recommend!“

“Soa & her mom, Van, are the best! Always so kind & they both give the best pedicures! Very clean, great foot & leg massage, & they just do great work!“

“I’ve been Kelly’s client for over 15 years, and when she opened Its M3 Time, I followed her without hesitation — and I’ve been coming here ever since! Kelly is simply the best. Her mani/pedis are flawless, she does my waxing too, and I always leave feeling refreshed, polished, and totally taken care of.

Kelly runs the shop with such professionalism and heart. You can tell she puts so much love and pride into her work. Her team is just as amazing — friendly, talented, and always welcoming. The salon is clean, calm, and the vibe is exactly what you want when you’re treating yourself.

Prices are incredibly reasonable, especially for San Francisco, and the quality is top-tier every single visit.

If you’re looking for a place that’s consistent, friendly, and run by someone who genuinely cares, Its M3 Time is a total gem. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!“

“Linh and Jon are amazing!!! I have really thick asian hair so I wanted to find a hairstylist familiar with that for my balayage. Jon is AMAZING, his balayage made me audibly gasp when I saw the results in the mirror. He was great about educating me about the realistic color I'll get from the balayage and it came out so beautifully, I still get compliments months later! Linh is equally as amazing at manicures and pedicures, her attention to detail and care shows up in every nail. I got a regular manicure and a gel manicure and both came out flawlessly. She shaped my nails so well and painted them with expertise. My nail polish lasted so long because of her hard work. They are both very friendly and love to chat. They are my go-to people now for any self care day.“

“Amazing service and amazing quality. Very grateful to have them local. Stopped here on a whim bc of location but it ended up being a great choice. I needed a quick fix and they delivered.“

“The ladies that work here are super detailed and do really amazing work. They were able to accommodate my appointment at the last moment and were very kind during my service. There was one lady on my hands and another on my feet working in unison to make me feel pampered and gorgeous!!“

“Amazing service at La Petite! Annie spent such time and attention on my pedicure - I felt truly pampered. I never get my nails done but I absolutely have to put La Petite into my rotation now.
The salon itself is cozy and pristine with lovely views of the Bay Bridge.
Highly recommend and I’ll be back soon!“

“Kelley is hands down the BEST nail technician I’ve ever had! From structured nails to gel and intricate nail art, her skills are beyond impressive. Every session with her is a relaxing, high-quality experience, and the results are stunning every single time. Her nail art is so creative and detailed—it’s like having mini masterpieces on my hands!
While you may need to wait to book an appointment with her, it’s completely worth it. Her work lasts beautifully, and she genuinely cares about making sure you leave 100% satisfied. If you’re looking for a perfectionist with incredible talent, Kelley is your go-to! I wouldn’t trust my nails with anyone else. Highly recommend!“

“I went online to find sunset beauty salon. Yuki did a fabulous job on my hair as I requested a body wave that was wavy but not too curly, and she did it with flying colors. I will definitely come back in the future for my hair needs. Thanks, sunset beauty!“

“After hearing rave reviews about KT Nails from all my staff , I decided to pay them a visit and I must say, I was not disappointed. The owners and staff are incredibly experienced, sweet, and truly beautiful inside and out. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and speed are unmatched. They provided me with trendy and gorgeous color recommendations that I absolutely love. I couldn't be happier with my nails. I highly recommend KT Nails to anyone looking for a top-notch nail salon experience.“

“I love going to Diane’s! I was never a regular at a nail salon until finding out about Diane’s Nails Care on Haight. My nails never chip and last a long time despite them being natural. Tracy is very kind and provides helpful insights when I’m unsure of colors. You can see that nail care and details are taken care of here!“

“Came here twice for gel x nails and honestly the results did not disappoint! The nail tech Mai was very attentive and thorough with her work.“

“I tried a few nail salons in the area, and this one became my favorite. The team is not only talented, they’re incredibly kind and attentive. Every time I come in, they take such great care to make sure I feel comfortable and that I love my nails. They always help me choose the right color, and somehow, they get it perfect every time.

They’re fast without cutting corners, and it’s easy to book an appointment even with short notice. On top of that, I just really enjoy being there, the energy is calm, friendly and welcoming.“

“Very impressed with the attention to detail and how welcoming the staff were?. The service was efficient without feeling rushed-true spa vibes✔!“

“So happy I found this place, it’s amazing! They’re so sweet & did a great mani/pedi!!!“

“I got a simple manicure with no polish and gel pedicure and it was great and what I needed. I definitely will be coming back!“

“My first time EVER getting my nails done and this is a very nice little shop with great service and great staff. Reasonable prices, walk-ins welcome!We are visiting from Sacramento. Out of town? You can trust TT’s!!!! ?????“

“Worthy every penny. The owner and her team are always kind, calm, the exact energy you want when looking for a luxury experience. Also, always a phenomenal job. I love that it is a quiet spacious atmosphere, I never feel like I am getting hustled through like cattle...they treat everyone with respect and patience. Thanks TEAM xoxxo“

“I've been to this salon three times now, and all of the staff are so kind! They greet everyone with a smile, and it's clear that they're a popular spot in the area because they know most of their customers by name. Salon Belle Linda is usually full of people getting pedicures, so I got one during my latest trip too. The person completing my pedicure did a fantastic job and really took care of my feet. I totally get the hype. I also want to give a special shoutout to Nina! Each time I've come in, I've gotten a hard gel manicure with a design, and she's killed it each time. She's able to replicate each inspo picture I show her, and she checks in throughout the process to make sure I'm happy. I ALWAYS get compliments when I get a set from her. Just a tip - they can get pretty busy, so I'd recommend calling beforehand to see when they can see you.“
