05-2025 Spectrum Nails Spa in List Best 21 Nail Salons in San Francisco, CA (Part 3)Shade Nail Spa - San Francisco Aaliyah Barker: The place is super cute and very clean. My only complaint regarding cleanliness was when she started doing my actual manicure. She didn’t soften my cuticles and rushed my manicure, and she ended up cutting 3 of my fingers. I get my nails done every 2-3 weeks and have never once had someone cut my finger enough to make it bleed, let alone 3 of them. They spent two hours on my gel manicure, so of course I still paid; but it was hard for me to put $65 down for that.
I likely won’t be coming back. I wanted to give this place a try since I just moved in right next door, but my first experience wasn’t great. They were not the most patient or friendly. It could have just been an off day for them, which is why I’m giving 3 stars instead of 1. It was busy and based on the pictures, I’m sure this was just a fluke.
Lastly, I asked for an almond shape, and the technician made some of them almond and some of them round. Shape wise, they look really bad. Which was surprising, because a lot of reviews looks great! Maybe I got a newer technician or she was just rushing. I can’t tell if I’m being too picky or not, but I ended up fixing them myself with a nail file and they look better. Usually I would have them fix it on the spot, but after being there for 2 hours, I was already late for my next thing. I have also never had a manicure take so long.
I attached photos of my nails close up to show the cuts and poor manicure, but this was after fixing the shape myself.
Silk Nails Spa - San Francisco Amadeus: I didn’t have time to get my nails done before I left for vacation. On the plane I researched salons and found this one and decided to try and see if they had time for a walk-in. The woman at the front very kindly found space for me later that day. Everyone was very nice, and the gel manicure with one acrylic fix (had a broken nail) was solid, and felt worth the price to me.
Zorina Nail Studio( Russian Manicure) Pacific Ave - San Francisco Божена Воробьева: I absolutely love Zorina Nail Studio! They have two locations—one on Union Street and another on Pacific Ave—each with its own unique charm. The variety of colors is amazing, and the service is truly exceptional. The friendly receptionists made sure I had the best experience possible.
I was especially impressed by the quality of the manicure, as I appreciate beautifully done cuticles. Thank you so much—I truly value this place!
Cozy Nail Spa - San Francisco Kirsten Cha: Got my nails done here a few days ago. Unfortunately won’t be coming back. Booked with Jadice, she does not paint all the way to the cuticles - looks like I grew out my nails for a month but I got these done just three days ago.
Mani Pedi Spa - San Francisco Sarah Lynn Marion: 10/10 would recommend to anyone! I got a full set of Gel X (with a soak off of a previous set) for $85 + tip. I’m not local to the area otherwise I would be a regular customer. I came on a Monday morning and they were not busy at all. The salon was clean and spacious, and had a generally pleasant atmosphere.
My nails were in pretty rough shape when I came in from a previous full set I had gotten elsewhere. Britney took her time and was extra careful with my nails because she could see how damaged they were. I get Gel X nails regularly, every 4 weeks or so, and you can tell when someone is good vs. bad at doing this type of nail extension. She was very good at the application. She had exactly the shape and length I wanted which is always a good sign. (Often times salons will only carry one size and length of gel x tips, and then they’ll make them they shape you want but they’re not always uniform).
I’m very happy with my nails. I have to have them done a specific way for work, and they’re perfect.
Paua Beauty Lounge - San Francisco Maithreya Kedambadi: Fantastic experience! Was greeted with a warm welcome & hot tea. I got a pedi/manicure & extra-long foot massage.
The salon had an extremely hygienic environment and all tools were properly sterilized. The technician was very careful and was patient in covering details. The high quality product was used at all steps, yielding a flawless result.
Touch of luxury at a reasonable price, definitely marking this place for a revisit!
Glitz N Glam Nail & Lash Spa - San Francisco Noelle Mabutas: I’ve been coming to this place for years (since they opened the salon). The quality of service has drastically changed. My nails used to last me weeks without chipping. However, the past few times I have gone, they have chipped super quickly.. I noticed this time they cut my cuticles after dip/painting my nails which left an indent from my cuticle line to where they painted. The dip/paint lasted me three days, you can tell from the photo that the dip/paint was beginning to lift where the cuticle line meets the dip, which super unfortunate. Mind you, I do not use harsh chemicals on or near my hands that would cause this. Considering the amount of money I’ve spent here over the years to present I would hope that they would put better quality out there. I hate to be the person to write a review but after being a long time customer and the experience I continue to encounter enough is enough.
(The first photo was taken three days after getting them done. The second is a week later)
Ritual Nail Bar - San Francisco Laura Forte: Beautiful nail salon and nice regular manicure. However, I also got my gel polish removed here and she only used the nail drill, no soak, and wasn’t very careful because she removed a significant amount of my nail in the process. Now they’re very weak and hurt. I’ve had to cut them very short to prevent them from bending.
Ziva Nail Salon - San Francisco Efigenia Dominguez: I dont like to share my favorites for selfish reasons but Ziva Nail Salon is absolutely one of the best true powder dip shops in the city. They know how to remove the powder easily without injuring my nails, and have ample colors selection. The salon is neat and tidy and the girls perform AMAZING shoulder and feet massage.
Valencia Nail Spa - San Francisco Caldonia Meehan: I came in to Valencia for a fill with nails I had gotten done somewhere else. The woman who did my nails was SO sweet and fixed the old ones (the old ones were mishaped and done poorly) She took her time, even though we were there late. I wish I got her name!! So so so beautiful and a wonderful clean environment. Would highly recommend ♥️ Thank you so much!
