After trying a few in the area, this is my official new go to spot for nails. They do regular or gel (no dip) but it's a mother daughter pair who have been here for about 6 years and still doing an amazing job. It's a small but comfortable area and they are just the sweetest. I've been very happy with how my gel manicures come out and they last me at least 3-4 weeks. The prices are also reasonable for the area with a great deal if you do mani pedi together.

Please support small businesses! Thanh was very thorough in prepping my nails and made sure the water was warm and added citrus and mint to make the water smell good. After doing the manicure and pedicure she will do a brief massage on each leg and hand. Then she will wrap them in a hot towel to loosen your muscles. She also takes extra care of your skin by putting sunscreen on your hands to protect you from the UV lights for the gel. Very nice and small shop that is quiet. Please support small businesses!!

I give my nails a break from regular nail polishes and Wah gives me a nice natural clean manicure. She is genuine and sweet. I like that she's not pushy at all to get my nails done with polish because she respects and understands what the client wants. I did have my toes french tipped and she did a tidy tip look! Definitely coming back for her services. She also puts lemon, orange and mint in the water which not only smells good but actually helps clean the nails of chemicals from polishes.

UPDATE: Still the best nail salon in San Francisco. Great friendly service. Great value. Massage chairs. Highly recommended!

I have found my new nail salon‼ The owner, Wah, was sooo professional, kind, and fun! We laughed and had a great time together! Not only did I have a great time, but I also witnessed a true expert in action. ALL of her tools were sterilized, all new nail files, and for my manicure...warm water with lemon and rose pedals! Lastly, the salon is clean, organized and very comfortable. Thank you, Wah for a wonderful experience today!! You have a new customer! Ginger #flowerpowerrealtor

Very kind and skilled mom/daughter team runs this salon. I always appreciate how clean and meticulous everything is. Love all the manicures, pedicures, waxings, etc I have gotten from them over the years. So I haven't gotten a mani/pedi in months due to the lockdown, so felt super luxurious today to get them. Also, the hand and foot massage felt so good. Thank you for taking care of me. Safety precautions are all in place, hand sanitizer, face mask, each station is cleaned and sanitized after use, all the bottles of colors touched are wiped down and sanitized. They have an air filter running and open door for fresh air. They also space out stations so you and another customer are not sitting right next to each other. Please make sure to call for appointment as they schedule everyone for maximum comfort and safety. They are closed on Tuesdays.

Will definitely become my go to nail location. From the attention to the tea, it's overall a fabulous experience. During the week, it's one costumer at a time, which makes you feel even more special. During the weekend, her mom also helps, so two costumers at a time. If you are looking for a quality experience, this is the place - schedule today!

matte black gel nails (natural) with gold tip detail

After trying several places in the city, my search for a nail salon/ nail tech is over!! Yesterday was my first time here, and I will for sure be coming back. Hoa is the friendliest nail tech i've met. She definitely cares about her work and pays great attention to detail! If i can rate more than 5 stars, i would. one of nails chipped before i arrived at the salon, but she fixed it by adding a tip, and made it look super natural! This is the first salon that actually put sunscreen on my hands to protect from the UV light--something so simple yet I've never thought about. As for my nails, I asked for matte black gel with gold tips. A part of me wishes i kept them shiny, but I wanted to try matte. It still came out cute, but i probably wouldn't get matte again because it does have a bit of a weird "residue"-looking coat, but again I still love my nails!! I do want to emphasize that this has NOTHING to do with the quality of the service (because the service was AMAZING!!) This was my choice and just an observation, that hopefully helps others out. Im beyond happy with my experience here! Thank you Hoa!!!

Robin A.

The owner, Hoa (pronounced Wah) is so lovely! I had such a great experience with her and love the way my nails turned out. There are so many nail salons to choose from in this area so I'm glad I can finally say pearly nails will be my go-to moving forward. She let me take my time choosing the color and sampling them while also making great suggestions. I appreciate that Hoa took her time and made sure I felt relaxed and happy with the results. The prices are probably the most affordable I've seen in a while and I'm happy to support a business with kind hearted people like herself.

Pearly Nails is a hidden gem tucked away on the corner of Pacific and Van Ness! It is run solely by the owners of the business, a mom and daughter. They are incredibly skilled and take their time when you step into their salon. On top of this, they are genuine and nice at the same time! Typically, I have horrible hangnails and am constantly picking at them. After one visit to Pearly to get my first ever manicure, my hangnails are almost non-existent! My girlfriend was incredibly impressed as well - they ended up fixing one of her broken nails with ease! Their services are moderately priced, but for the quality you get, it is an absolute steal. Make sure to call ahead to make an appointment!

I wish I could give more than 5 stars! This nail place is extremely clean, they use new nail tools for every customer and line their pedicure tubs. My nails look amazing (they spend a lot of time making sure they look perfect). This is the most affordable place I have been to in SF, $55 for a pedicure and gel manicure. Also the massage chair is heaven. I would highly recommend this nail salon.

First time coming here and I loved my experience! The salon is pretty small and there was only 3 workers. Definitely call ahead of time to book an appointment! If they don't answer, they're probably busy but will most likely make room for you! So glad I found this place because the prices are good compared to other nail salons. They pay attention to small details when doing your nails and want you to have the best experience. All the workers are friendly and so welcoming! Will be coming back!! :)

Run by a mother/daughter duo Pearly is a clean and reliable experience. Their massage chairs are amazing too. I love their personal touch with the herbs and lemon slices they put into your foot bath. I've never had an infection by them which is lovely bc they always have to deal with my ingrowns. Since they're a two person establishment I recommend calling in advance for appointments during peak hours! Prices are very reasonable as well. My only request is that the foot & hand massage go a little longer but I could be spoiled by my gal in DC

I came here for the first (12/19/2025) time during the busy holiday season, and I had a wonderful experience. Hoa was incredibly sweet and professional; she managed to fit me in right away before her next appointment. Hoa provided excellent advice on a color to match my NYE's dress and worked very efficiently. I was also impressed that she was able to take care of a difficult hangnail on my toe. I also had the pleasure of meeting the owner and Hoa's mother, Van, who was also kind. I give my experience an A++++ and will definitely be coming back. Thank you Hoa and Van. read more

I loved my experience here! I got a pedicure with callous removal and had the most relaxing time. When I walked in, I was offered tea which was very nice especially since it was a cold SF evening. The foot bath water had lemon, mint and rose petals in it which made it feel luxurious. The owner was incredibly nice and personable. She did a fantastic job on my pedicure, making my feet soft and smooth. I will definitely be going back! read more

I didn't have an appointment so I just called to do a walk in. They said to give them 30 minutes and they'll be able to take me, which was perfect cause I was walking anyways and it will take me 17 minutes and I would just wait. I did a pedicure and was going to just clean up my cuticles for my hands, but i ended up doing gel for both mani and pedi. I was crushed on time and needed to leave since I had something at 7pm, I only came in to kill some time. And they were able to rush and do such a good job. Even though I stopped the lady to put nail polish on my toes, my feet are nice and clean for myself to put my own nail polish on. It is a daughter and mother shop which I fully support. They were so nice as well and the daughter gave me care tips for my cuticles and foot, since I lack with that and it shows. She also put sunscreen on my hands for the UV light and covered the UV light with a towel which I thought was very thoughtful and nobody else does that, so I was surprised. It's the little things that gets me ! read more

Hoa and Van were so sweet and careful when doing my nails. Unfortunately my nails had been filed down too much by previous nail salons. They took their time when removing my gel polish and were so detail oriented. I appreciated that they weren't in a rush to get the job done and wanted to make sure I liked the results. They also placed sunscreen and a towel over my hands when applying the gel polish which I thought was very special. Got a gel mani pedi and the prices were also very reasonable.

This is my go-to salon. I love near it but the main reason I love it is because of Wah and Van. They are a mother daughter duo and they are as sweet as can be. They do a great job, they are very attentive and accommodating They take walk-ins and also make reservations. They often times always have a customer so I would call ahead and make sure you can get in. They do regular mani, pedis and also gel. They do not do acrylics. They are reasonably priced, a gel mani and regular pedi is $48 (I'm pretty sure!) They also offer waxing services- I've gotten my armpits waxed here before. The station is clean and Wah does a good job. When you become a regular, you feel like you're part of the family but they are just as kind to newbies.

Pearly Nails is the best salon in the city, hands down. Not only are the prices great but they truly take their time to make sure your nails are perfect. Don't expect a quick visit and you'll likely have to wait a bit if you walk in. Make an appointment and give yourself 45-60 min for a mani-pedi. Top quality products only and top quality service!

Such a hidden gem!! Absolutely incredible team of two very sweet ladies! Their gel mani/pedis last for weeks! They both pay such great attention to detail, and the massage is always great. I live in Marin, but whenever I'm working in the city I try and stop by! They have so many colors, and make sure sure you're completely satisfied with their services before leaving. I highly recommend!! read more

I walked home in flip flops and later changed into flats, which unfortunately ruined my big left toenail (ugh!). I went back the next day and they fixed it without any issue. I appreciated that and would come back again.

Sydney Nail Spa

The salon itself is clean, relaxing, and beautifully maintained it immediately gave me confidence that I was in good hands. What really stood out to me was the attention to detail and the level of care the staff put into their work. My nail technician was incredibly patient, listened to exactly what I wanted, and offered helpful suggestions without being pushy. They took their time shaping and perfecting my nails, and the final result honestly exceeded my expectations. The polish application was flawless, and you can tell they use high-quality products. I also appreciated how hygienic everything was. Tools were properly sanitized, and the overall cleanliness of the space made the experience even more enjoyable and stress-free. It's clear that they prioritize both customer satisfaction and safety. On top of that, the atmosphere is so calming it's the perfect place to unwind and treat yourself. I never felt rushed, and the staff checked in throughout to make sure I was happy with everything. Overall, Sydney Nail Spa delivers not just great nails but a truly relaxing and professional experience. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends and family. If you're looking for a nail salon that combines skill, cleanliness, and excellent customer service, this is it!

Unfortunately, the application felt rushed and lacked the attention to detail I was hoping for based on reviews. My previous gel wasn't completely removed, so the new color appears different on the upper half of my nails where the old gel is still underneath. The shape and length of the nails are also inconsistent, and from the side it's easy to see that the builder gel wasn't applied evenly. There is also fuzz trapped between layers :( What made this disappointing is that I told Jennifer this appointment was a trial for my upcoming wedding, so I was really hoping for a meticulous application. That said, the overall customer service was wonderful. The massage, drink service, and snacks made for a relaxing experience, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. However, for me, the quality of the nail application is the most important part of the service, and unfortunately it didn't meet my expectations.

I have to update my review because I absolutely love Mai Le. I recently got a botched gelish nail polish job in SJ and wanted it removed and redone. I called Mai Le Nail Salon simply because it is down the street from my house. Luckily they do have the gelish polish and charged only $25. When I arrived, I was worked on right away. Mai soaked my nails with the gelish remover and I quietly waited while she removed the old polish. Mai worked diligently and carefully applying the new color. No spots, not bubbles, perfect clean and shiny nails. The gelish manicure was quick, easy and everything came out beautiful. They have a lot of polish colors and quite a number of gelish polish colors as well. When I was in today, Mai told me that they were going to order more colors. Spiffy! The tools are sealed in sanitary bags and sanitized, buffers are brand new and they work gently on your nails. Warm lotion is also a nice touch. I highly recommend coming here for all of your needs. Everything is clean, neat and in order. This is my new gelish spot. read more

These ladies are sweet, professional and accommodating. I've been going there for nails, waxing and brow/eyelash tints since their inception. Not only do I leave thoroughly satisfied, but fully relaxed since the atmosphere is so nurturing and calming. They have recently introduced three new treatments for mani/pedi if you want to treat yourself to a deeper, more moisturizing treatment with all natural, fragrant products (orange, lavender, etc.) There are two types of massage chairs, so you can choose the one best for you. An extensive range of colors is available, which is regularly being replenished and updated, along with the new line for the longer lasting polish, which remains chip-free for a week. read more

This is my favorite neighborhood nail salon. It is nice, quiet and very clean. The staff are friendly and do a great job on my French Pedicure. I love the rose pedal water bowl for your feet. Aside from the rose pedal water bowl, their massage chairs are new and very comfortable, unlike the ones at other nail salons I've been to in and around the lower Pac. Heights/Polk neighborhood. Their prices are super reasonable for the service and atmosphere. I don't feel the hustle, bustle, rush-rush attitude you get from most nail salons. read more
