Do not be fooled by the plain shop front. This is a great salon for manicure and pedicures. I have been coming here for the past six years. I give the salons gift certificates as gifts. Unlike other crowded salons there is a real atmosphere of calm , because there are three very courteous technicians who are the owners. I noticed that they keep their appointments on time which is really appreciated. read more

Don't ever go here!! Red flags the entire time!! I went for a gel fill and deluxe pedi. They ran out of the polish that they did in my feet. ( I wanted it to match) I'm wondering why they didn't tell me to choose another color. I left with my nails not done. My toes were done horribly nails all different lengths and I paid for callus removal and they didn't do that. They didn't put a hot towel on feet and noticed they re use buffer and files! I had to go to another salon to have my nails finished! have myTotally gross. Do not go to this salon. They suck !!!! read more

I asked not to file my natural nails down to do a gel manicure, but they filed my natural nail bed down so low I had to contacted my pcp because I thought I had an infection. My nail beds were sore for over a week. My nails broke and cracked after a week with gel. I won't be back. read more

One of the best nail salons I've been to! They did a great job taking off my dip acrylic and made sure that it wasn't painful for me. Zen shaped and painted my nails exactly how I wanted. She was very careful and did a wonderful job. She was also very nice and gave a great hand massage afterwards. The studio was very clean and I felt very safe in terms of covid. It is also a very cute studio with great decor. read more

I like this place a lot as their quality of work (I only get pedicures here, $20) is really good, and I always walk out with happily painted toes that make me smile whenever I look down at them! It's a nice clean place in a convenient location by the California cable car line and near Polk Street, plus they have these great massage chairs that take care of my back kinks while I get my pedicure, mini foot massage and while I catch up on my magazine reading. read more

I have been coming for 20 years They are GREAT very caring about what ur needs are ! The owners is kind and the place is so clean ! read more

The customer service of this place is near unmatched. I've gone regularly and always feel welcome and well taken care of. The service rendered is always amazing as well. My nails always look stunning after and I get compliments consistently. Definitely worth a trip here- they do great dip manicures and their pedicures are fabulous. read more

FYI they raised their mani pedi price (no gel) to 60 bucks.

I've been to many salons in San Francisco, but I have to say Kitty's Salon has to be one of the coziest, professional and friendly salon I have been to. Their owner and manicurist are all very accommodating and attentive to my needs and ensures that I am satisfied with my nails. Their shop has been running for some time now and so many customers continue to come back for this reason. Thank you Kitty's Salon for an amazing experience! Update on my review: 6/17. I have gone to this salon many times and I have to say this salon is probably one of the most honest salon I've gone to. Every time I got my nails done here, I have noticed that my polish stays on for weeks compared to the other salons where they last a couple of days. I am grateful that Kitty's Nails stay true to their products and does not try to dilute their products to make more profit. read more

This place is great. I typically get my nails done by Tina and she does a very thorough and careful job. Very reasonably priced and a good selection of polish options! Good Covid precautions as well. read more

I went to a different nail salon first ( their homepage showed that they are open on Sunday) but it was closed and walked to kitty's nail. The staff are so nice and they actually take time to do your nails. Will come again ! I gave 5 as this is the best I've been to so far! read more

They do a great job on pedicures for old men, too.

I never feel the need to leave bad reviews but in this case...felt it was necessary. Got an acrylic fill with black gel on Thursday and by Sunday the gel is already peeling and chipping. In general, my technician was courteous and friendly but the quality just isn't there for me. The acrylic is clunky, uneven, and bumpy. The nail shapes are all uneven and not the shape I politely kept asking for (girl next to me also had to keep telling her technician of faults in her nail shape). My technician kept taking the nail dremel all the way to my cuticles to the point where they are damaged and cut. And as mentioned already, the gel was chipping by day one around the edges of my nail and today it began to legitimately peel off. $40 is not worth a bad manicure that only lasts one day. read more

Small little neighborhood place where I got a really great manicure. My boss recommended after she happened to find it the day before.

This has been my "go to nail place" for more years than I can remember. They take care to ensure your nails are AMAZING. I usually get a regular mani and pedi, sometimes a mini massage. Everyone is great there, hubby/wife owners, with lovely staff. read more

LOVE the crew here, always a precise job. They have every gel color and I just got holographic chrome nails done, see images. I can't recommend enough. A+++ read more

Kitty's Nails - Love my holographic chrome gel manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

Long overdue review for this place. This is my favorite nail salon in the city. The atmosphere is SO nice and positive. You genuinely feel like everyone is happy to have you there. Also, my polish lasts forever! I've done regular and gel, and the price for gel is really reasonable. This is a super solid and friendly place. read more

Got a regular mani/pedi and it was phenomenal. When I walked in, three ladies hopped up to help me. No appointment, but they still took me and were able to get started right away. They did an amazing job. :) read more

Brought my girlfriend here and she can't stop raving about her damn nails. Kitty essentially saved our relationship bc good nails makes for a happy girl. Will continue to chauffeur her here. 5/5 from the bf. read more

I really like this place! The owners are husband and wife and they are the sweetest people. I've gone here 4 times total so far and every time someone greets me right away, if they are busy they are very apologetic and will probably ask you to come back in 20 minutes. It's a small place so seating is limited! But its totally worth coming back! No joke, but I think their teenage son works there and he gives the best pedicures!!! Your feet/toes will still look amazing 3 weeks later! Too bad he doesn't do manicures too :( the place is very clean, color selection is good they carry opi, essie, zoya. They don't gossip in vietnamese, so it's a relaxing environment, and you leave with pretty hands and feet :) they appreciate your buisness so you don't have to worry about feeling rushed or robbed of $29. If your looking for a nice chill nail place pick kitty's! read more

I live in LA but I stopped by Kitty's Nails every time I visited NorCal! This place is amazing, quality and quantity is on point! I love everyone who works at the store, people are so personable and get the work that I wanted done every single time. I love that they would make recommendations and make sure u are satisfy with your work! I had recommended multiple people to come here, and all my friends loved it! I'll be back in there in a few months and can't wait to make a visit again! read more

Kitty's Nails is one of the best nail salons I have ever been to. The owners are lovely people and always so warm and friendly. My go to person at the salon is Zen. She is so professional and always pays close attention to her work. She couldn't be nicer and does an amazing gel manicure. You are very spoiled after having Zen do your nails. She is wonderful!!! I highly recommend this gem of a salon here in San Francisco. read more

I was visiting San Fran so I was not familiar with the businesses out there. So I yelped it and kitty's popped up, first place, 4 stars! So I figured this should be good. Boy was I wrong! I felt rushed, the way she did my nails was strange and I kept asking for square shaped and she kept doing round. Then to make matters worse my pedicure had WAY too many coats so the paint was smeared 2 hours later. Overall I spent $70!!! Waste! Because I had to go somewhere else to get everything fixed -_- super annoyed!!! Oh and 2 days later a nail broke, in all the years and places I've gone I've never had that happen. Not a happy customer...idk how so many people are pleased with this kind of service. read more

Kitty's is just a barely okay nail salon. I have been to Kitty's I think 3 times now. I keep trying to like it because they must be doing something right if notoriously picky Yelpers are giving it 4 stars. I guess I still don't know what that something is. I came in the other day for a mani/pedi. I had gotten pedicures before, both being rushed, mediocre experiences. This time, however, the nail tech drew blood when she was removing my toe cuticles, not cool. Additionally, when my spa tub was being warmed up, I noticed an oily film on top of the water, gross. The man who was working on my fingers kept pulling my arms forward closer to him. He didn't say a word, except to answer a personal cell phone call, for which I was stuck in an uncomfortable position for the duration of. I think the last straw came when I was on vacation this Saturday and noticed that my pedicure had chipped - I got my pedicure on Thursday. Coincidentally, my manicure seems to be doing okay, but a pedicure should not chip for at least 10-14 days. I'm giving two stars for the cleanliness of the place (minus my tub, it actually is a decently clean space). Also, the price isn't bad, and for the most part, the people are friendly, though, that's not enough to bring me back. Sorry, Kitty's, but I tried. read more

Kitty's was adorable. It's a small shop, consisting of just 3 basins and a series of comfy chairs. This was my first time visiting, and I am glad that I made reservations. It was a Friday, and people were dropping in and finding out they had to wait for service. the staff was very polite and accommodating. Kitty's was clean and well-appointed. My shellac pedi was quick and well-done. I loved the fact that they used lemon on my friend's feet, during her pedicure and that they included orange exfoliate scrub. I would absolutely return to Kitty's and use them as my 'SF nail hub'. read more

nice service, I'll come here if i'm in a bind. I'd rather have more massage than limes rubbed on my hands and feet, i could do without the 10 min "extra spa scrub" with salt and an odd brush. $30 for a pedicure and manicure is what they charge. i would prefer to have more attention paid to my cuticles and a massage that lasted more than 45 seconds per hand. a lot of unnecessary steps. read more

I really needed my nails did, and I just moved to the area. I walked by here, and asked if they would take me. They were very friendly and did! I picked out my nail polish, sat down and they went to work. They listened to what I wanted, asked questions along the way, and made sure I was happy with their work throughout the nail session. In the end, I came out with pretty toes and feet. I was happy. If you are in the area, this is a great spot to get your nails done. Clean, friendly, efficient and reasonably priced for the area. A must try! Twinkle on little cute toes and hands! read more

Kitty Nails is a great salon, the manicurist and pedicurist are great, they are conscientious of their work and they soak your hands with lemons and orchids.. how lovely... my only complaint is that they don't have the best polish, so come packing. read more

If I could give one star I would. Unsanitary. Saw her use same tools on me that she just had used on last customer. Also extremely rude. They didn't know I knew Vietnamese so they began talking about me to my face. Boy were they surprised. Save your temper, time and money and go somewhere with class! read more

Kitty's Nails - Nail polish already completely off after a week...dispicable - Nail Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

Been wanting to write this review for quite awhile. Went in there a couple years ago for an acrylic fill and it was the absolute worst experience I have had in 30 years of having my nails done. I left with bloody stumps and acrylic that was as uneven as the streets of San Francisco. Seriously, I was able to pull it off with my fingers. Pointed the horrific job done to the manager/owner and she mumbled something in a foreign language and took my money as fast as she could. It was a man (never good) that did the work and I venture to guess it was her husband. STAY AWAY!!! read more

On a Monday bored and in desperate need for a pedicure I stroll in Kitty's Nails. Best pedicure chairs ever, best foot massage ever, and I am as happy as can be. I will definitely keep coming here since its only a few doors up from my work. read more

I moved to the nob hill neighborhood 9 months ago and have been continually searching for a nail salon that meets my standards. After finding a couple that I thought might work they would eventually disappoint. Kitty's has consistently done an excellent job and they are always extremely friendly. My feet look great even before they put the polish on. It might be a dollar or two more than some of the places in the neighborhood, but it is definitely worth it, the quality is way better. I'm done searching, I'm sticking with Kitty's. Also, Although I rarely get them, their manicures last way longer than any other place i've ever been to. read more

Kitty's Nails is the best in the City. I am incredibly picky when it comes to my nails. There is only one nail place that tops Kitty's and it's in LA (http://www.yelp.com/biz/georgyanna-nail-technician-los-angeles#hrid:NJqUYL3_itsHEn0NQi9HFA) and costs almost double. At Kitty's, they are really really good about listening to the clients wishes, and they are probably the best value in a mani-pedi I've ever had. The best part is that the polish lasts and lasts. I refuse to go anywhere but Kitty's Nails to get my nails done in San Francisco! read more

I found this to be just an average nail salon. Nothing to write home about. I got my old gel manicure taken off here, and got regular polish put on. Over the phone, they had quoted me a lower price for taking off the polish than what they tried to charge me after I had gotten it done. That was disappointing, but in the end they honored what they had said 1.5 hours earlier over the phone. The manicure and pedicure I got was fine. Not spectacular, so I probably will stick with other nail spots that have proven to be better (KT Nails does a splendid job and they are only a couple blocks away). read more

Fantastic color selection, friendly service, clean shop, and my nails look amazing! The massage chairs are a fun addition, too; I got a nice little surprise when I discovered one of the settings was INTENSE BUTT MASSAGE. My manicurist was very attentive. She gave me a huge stack of trashy celebrity gossip magazines, and as she painted my fingernails, would intermittently turn the pages for me. It made me feel fancy and like an asshole at the same time, couldn't tell you why. It was busy when I got there, so busy that the staff eventually started telling drop-ins to come back later (not their fault, it's a tiny shop and all the seats were taken), so it's probably a good idea to call ahead. I wish there was a little more arm/leg massage action from the manicurist, but for $29 and a well-done paint job, I'll take it. read more

Great service, but the quality isn't there. I've gotten my nails done here multiple times and the gel polish always chips after one week. While I was getting my nails done I witnessed other customers returning to get their nails fixed as well. Also, while getting my gel polish taken off, I asked the manicurist multiple times not to buff my nails for so long because they are going to thin and break. My nails have never been this short. read more

This is one of the best nail places I've been to for the price range ($10-15 for mani / $15-20 for pedi) There is one other better place in the city but that one costs $60 for pedi and it's in a spa inside a hotel. Anyhow, you get great value here at Kitty's. Usually for a $11 manicure, other places put in minimal effort. But Kitty's nails does a thorough job every step of the process from filing your nails to applying the color. The staff is super attentive -- I came in during a somewhat busy afternoon and the owner cut my nails for me! Someone else gave me magazines and even turned the pages for me. The girl who did my nails did a fantastic job. This may sound a bit strange but no other place in the city files my nails better than this place does (love the shape) and they do a thorough job at cleaning your nails an cuticles -- I was actually quite impressed by their meticulousness. They use legit nail polish here (OPI and Essie) and if you chip your nail when it hasn't dried they'll fix it for you. I enjoyed my experience here and think I'm going to become a frequent here since I live close by and it's the best nail place in the city in my opinion. read more
