List Best 19 Nail Salons in San Francisco, CA
03-2025 Wellness Nails Care in List Best 19 Nail Salons in San Francisco, CAOliviana Nail Spa - San Francisco G Sr.: Professional staff who are friendly, warm, accommodating, respectful and the salon is so pretty, decorated very classy and atmosphere is always relaxing despite always being busy with customers but cannot ask for better with all of the foliage everywhere. It is clean and reasonably priced for SF. I am satisfied to keep coming year after year, right in our own Beautiful Bayview Backyard*+.
Spectrum Nails Spa - San Francisco universal jammer: I got a French tip nail extension from Nina and she was super welcoming and nice and made my nails look really good too. Definitely a great place to get your nails done.
City Famous Nail Spa - San Francisco A89sw: I went to city famous today to get my nails done for my bachelorette party, having read positive reviews about their services. I requested ombrƩ dip powder nails with extensions (which is a menu option they offer) and showed her a picture of my previous ombrƩ nails that I loved.
The nail technician, Quinn, strongly recommended gel x instead, claiming it would give my nails a more natural look. However, the nails that were ultimately applied didnāt resemble ombrĆ© and were not white at the top like I had asked for. When I pointed this out, she said that she couldnāt do ombrĆ© with gel x (then why recommend it?) and then proceeded to try and fix the mistake by adding dip powder on top, which was mostly ineffective. Despite my disappointment and the fact that the nails didnāt meet my expectations, Quinn just checked me out quickly and charged me full price.
She had also started my appointment 20 minutes late because someone last minute requested to add eyebrows, and she was rushing before I asked her to slow down.
The service was disappointing, considering the price, and Iām disappointed with the condition of my nails for a significant life milestone.
Nail It (Russian Manicure) - San Francisco ŠŠ½ŠµŃŃŠ° Š§Šµ: I recently visited Nail It, a Russian manicure studio, and I couldnt be more pleased with my experience. The studio is impeccably clean, which immediately sets a positive tone for the visit. The location is fantastic, making it easily accessible and convenient.
The staff at Nail It are incredibly polite and attentive, always ensuring that I feel comfortable and well taken care of. The quality of their work is simply outstanding. Ive been coming to this studio for some time now, and each time I leave with beautifully manicured nails that last.
Overall, I highly recommend Nail It for anyone looking for top-notch manicure services in a welcoming and pristine environment!
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 didnāt 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 wonāt be coming back. I wanted to give this place a try since I just moved in right next door, but my first experience wasnāt great. They were not the most patient or friendly. It could have just been an off day for them, which is why Iām giving 3 stars instead of 1. It was busy and based on the pictures, Iām 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 canāt tell if Iām 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 didnāt 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 ŠŠ¾Š¶ŠµŠ½Š° ŠŠ¾ŃŠ¾Š±ŃŠµŠ²Š°: I absolutely love Zorina Nail Studio! They have two locationsāone on Union Street and another on Pacific Aveāeach 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 muchāI truly value this place!
Cozy Nail Spa - San Francisco Kirsten Cha: Got my nails done here a few days ago. Unfortunately wonāt 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. Iām 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 theyāll make them they shape you want but theyāre not always uniform).
Iām very happy with my nails. I have to have them done a specific way for work, and theyāre 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!
