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 :)“

“I love this place. They do suck a great job and the gel lasts a long time. The massage is nice too.“

“They are simply amazing ? I had a flight at noon, and they were incredibly understanding and accommodating, fitting me in for my first hard gel appointment. Anastasia truly saved my destination wedding! She did an absolutely amazing job — honestly the best manicure I’ve ever had in my life (and I have very sensitive skin, so trust me when I say I notice the difference).

Anastasia and Nancy are both so warm and friendly, and the atmosphere is nothing like those boring, rushed nail salons. You can really tell they care about their clients and their work. Highly, highly recommended!“

“Aya is amazing! She did my engagement nails and she is so consistently amazing and so detailed!“

“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.“

“What a lovely haven! Great service in a serene environment. Very happy with the pedi as well as the mani. Nice, polite, and professional--they really take their time and don't rush.“

“Romeo was my massage therapist and I cannot say enough good things about him and my experience. He took the time to address my concerns and help me understand what I need to do to fix things outside of the practice as well. It was one of the best massages of my life. Thank you. Highly recommend“

“Hands down the best mani-pedi of my life! Absolutely loved the experience and the final outcome. The price tag was definitely more than I realized. I usually go to small salons in my home neighborhood and should have assumed the spa service in the middle of market street union square area would cost more. But I happened to be passing by and decided to stop in for a last minute service. It will be my new go-to for fancy events and when I want to go all out but definitely too pricey for me to do for every two weeks on my own all the time unless I have something going on (which I did, I was getting engaged, so it was worth it!). Would go back for my wedding and other nice events. For reference, it was $55 pedi (with a full lotion and boot and warming service) and $55 for a gel mani (and fully recline and with a heating pad). I will say, it was the most relaxing manipedi of my life. Total opposite of most nail salons that are loud and hectic. This was a full spa experience and I could have dozed there I was so warm and cozy and relaxed. So if you have the money and want a great experience and perfect nails, go for it! If you're on a budget or need a quick easy local spot to go biweekly, it will add up quick! I will definitely be back =)“

“I was in the area and asked if I can stop by. Luckily for me someone just canceled their appointment. This was my first time and I plan on coming back again. Anna did a great job with my extremely short nails.“

“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 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!“

“This spot is friendly clean and efficient… I have been coming here for years…love it“

“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.“

“Been going to Lisa for years for color and she’s the best! Very careful and meticulous, just what you want in a colorist.“

“Found this place from all the good reviews and it did not disappoint! Bin did a gelx cat eye manicure for me (my first manicure in about a year), and she did such a good job! She was gentle with my cuticles and also with a finger that was previously injured. The manicure was $81 (cash, not including tip). Will be back!!“

“The best gel manicure I’ve ever got ! Has lasted me almost a month with no chipping. Such a great experience and atmosphere. Pic is a month post manicure !!“

“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.“

“Their services are spectacular!! I didn’t like my original design and am usually uncomfortable with speaking my mind. My anxiety was relieved when the owner appreciated me voicing my concerns and fixed it immediately. Can’t wait to come back for my next appointment!!“

“Blue Pearl has become my go-to nail salon in SF. Tunie has great attention to detail, a great selection of colors, and an aesthetically pleasing salon interior. The pricing is really reasonable considering the quality. Highly recommend the Russian Manicure. Thanks Tunie!“

“Great service and took quality care of my nails heath! Recommend Uni for services! Will come back when in town!“

“Great gel-x removal and gel mani with a same day apt. Easy scheduling, clean space, and kind staff. Located in a great area of the Mission for walkabout before / after.“

“My experience at LUX was nothing short of amazing!! Hard gel, shaped to perfection! Every detail accounted for! Already made my next appointment.“

“Fantastic work and great personalities! My new favorite spot. Clean. Affordable. Relaxing ? family owned business & operated which gives me peace of mind in these time! Ask for Duyen the woman does magic ✨️ thank so much. Will visit again!! They were busy, and were able to squeeze us in because of a cancelation.“

“I’ve been their loyal customer for a while! Two young girl with passion and creativity mindset and accommodate as much as they can. Always having fun chatting while getting my nails done! So lucky I found them for my nails❤️“

“Friendly staff who don't rush the process.. They take time to make sure everything looks right before you leave“
