    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.

    Natural clean nails

    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.

    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!!

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

    My first time at Pearly Nails‼
    Ginger J.

    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
    Brenda F.

    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!!!

    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.

    Prices as of June 2021

    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!! :)

    Gel well done

    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
