Really nice place, clean and efficient. Love they use bowls for the pedi, feel much better about sanitation when a place does that. Very comfortable, the prices are super reasonable, and my nails look great! Dip powder on hands, regular polish on feet.
Cherry on top is a "frequent flyer" card! Absolutely will be back. Just wish parking was easier, but that's expected on Market St. #sanfranciscoproblems

Shout out to Amy!!! First person in SF that knows how to do dip powder! Relaxing and clean environment. Staff was friendly. Great color selection for dip, gel, and polish. Amy's attention to detail is amazing. Many others in the salon were addressed by their first name which makes me happy to see loyal customers coming back! If you like dip powder come here!!!!

I found this place on Yelp and booked online since it has great reviews. Everything about the experience was easy and convenient. I didn't talk much to the technicians when I was there except to request color/mail shape. This is a $55 dip manicure on natural nails.

I'm rebooking today since it's been 21 days. It feels like my nails might start lifting soon but so far they're all perfect. I was a bit worried because after applying dip she filed them down very thin (in a good way, they look super natural), and sometimes that could make your nails last less time. Clearly she

Love getting my nails done here! Everyone is super nice & thoughtful throughout the process, and my nails look perfect every time! It was so hard finding a new nail place once I moved back to sf but I will not go anywhere else.

AMAZING! They are so detailed, sweet, and really great. Also massage and hot towel is the best! Champagne when it's not COVID offered as well. Definitely recommend!

Called to see if there was room for a walk in. The woman who answered said there was, but then when I was there it felt very rushed (gel manicure took less than 25 minutes) . Turns out someone else with an appointment showed up mid way through my manicure. In addition, didn't paint up towards cuticle so my manicure already looks grown out even though I only got it 4 days ago.

Let’s just say I have moved away and I book an appointment here anytime I am in SF, even if just for a few hours. I am a true perfectionist when it comes to paying for a mani/pedi, and in my 15 years of getting my nails done at countless salons and spas, SF nail bar is the BEST. I truly feel sad when I have to get my nails done somewhere else because it never compares. They have the best service and do the best job. The salon is slightly hidden so you have to be looking for it, but I would say is one of the city’s best kept secrets.

Glad our favorite nail salon is open again. Of course, the pandemic-related closure had a negative financial impact on their business. Right now this husband and wife team can service only two clients at a time. In addition to business loss, they struggle to offer their staff the same hours.

They are clean and sanitary. We felt very safe. As always, they do good mani/pedis and are grateful for your business.

This is my favorite nail salon in the city. I initially came here because they offered dip manicures and then fell in love.
Pre-Covid I was a true dip mani enthusiast and the ones I got here lasted a flawless three weeks.
Today I got a gel manicure and pedicure. The salon feels the most clean and all safety precautions were taken.
I highly recommend (well, maybe not TOO much so that I can still get an appointment).

My matte black kitty claws are FLAWLESS. She took her time and care examining every detail. She listened to and fulfilled all of my requests, and gave me feedback on my requests that would pose a risk to the longevity of my set. My powder dipped nails go as close to my cuticle as possible so I'll have them a good long while. I couldn't be happier. $55 for the claws, powder dip, plus matte gel finish. Complimentary treats and refreshments are offered upon arrival ❤️ I opted for a mimosa but I also saw an espresso machine and lots of chocolates. I can't wait to come back!

Not great since they changed management. I came with two girlfriends and we all had mediocre experiences. Nail polish had bubbles and they insisted a top coat would fix it, which it didn’t. When I asked them to do it over, the lady just left in the middle of redoing it and didn’t come back. Three hours later, the nail polish is already chipping.
I used to LOVE this nail salon and came by all the time to get my nails done with Kate, the former owner. But today’s experience was a huge let down.

This salon gave me the best dip powder manicure I've ever had! Had gel polish removed and then dip on my natural nails. Vivian was super careful and gentle with the e-file nail drill, which I really appreciate because I've had my nails overfiled in the past. She shaped my nails beautifully and gave me a thin, even dip manicure. Plus, the manicure is finished with a lovely lavender oil arm/hand massage. I was offered water or tea upon sitting down. The location is a calm little haven away from busy Market Street. Found this salon on yelp and it definitely didn't disappoint! $50 was

Super bummed. They switched management and quality has gone down. Tons of bubbles on the polish and they just tried to cover it up with more nail polish. Nails chipped after a few hours, and they didn't bother cleaning up.

I came with my sister and her friend and they also left dissatisfied

Came here because of the good reviews, decent prices, and free mimosa! I went on a Tuesday afternoon and it was not crowded at all, so I got in right away. It's a little hard to find but I managed. I wanted a gel mani but wasn't sure if I wanted a gel pedi, a regular pedi, or any at all. They offered up a "polish change" for my feet which is minimal shaping and just color for only $15. It was perfect for me since I don't need gel on my toes and my nails were already pretty short! They were able to find a color for my toes that matched the gel color i picked, and I think it matches perfectly! They

If you're looking to treat yourself or a friend to a special mani/pedi, this place nails it (pun intended)!

SF Nail Bar is my go-to spot for gift cards (for clients, friends, loved ones, etc.). Purchasing a gift card is super easy via Yelp. And every person that I've sent here has always come back raving about their experience.

A 30-minute manicure will run you $30, and their signature 1-hour mani costs $45. My go-to gift is their Classic Mani-Deluxe Pedi for $47. It's always a winner.

Staff here is super sweet. They know how to pamper their customers. Highly recommend!

They do an exquisite job here on both regular mani/pedi and gel. I've heard they also do powder dip but I haven't gotten that yet. Everyone is friendly, and prices are reasonable. The space is spacious, relaxing, very clean, and bright. They use lavender oil for a hand or foot massage as a part of the mani or pedi, which I love! They also offer complimentary mimosas, tea, or water. I feel like you're getting a high end salon experience without the price tag! Would highly recommend as the best nail salon in the area.

Came as a walk in and was helped right away. The place is very clean, there are tons of colors to choose from, and the lady that did my pedicure was so sweet! I definitely didn't feel rushed.

It's a bit pricey, but for the service I think it's worth it!

I haven been to a lot of nail shops in the city and I am definitely sold on SF Nail bar!!
Some of the things that set them apart are;

Respect for appointments
Good quality lotions (philosophy)
High-end essential oils
Good and consistent technique
High-end polishes that they don't thin out

All the ladies are great but Kate the owner and Amy have done some very fun nails for me!

This place is excellent! Came for the first time yesterday for a gel mani and will definitely be back.

It is super easy to make an appointment through Yelp and they were also able to accommodate walk ins while I was there (on a weekday around 5pm). The location is convenient and central, near 16th and Market. The inside is clean, homey feeling and well organized.

The little details they incorporate into the experience to make you comfortable are excellent and well done. The chairs they use are super comfortable, and they recline, which is brilliant! They also offer complimentary coffee or mimosas

I went to SF Nail Bar for the 1st time today for a gel mani and I love it :)
Cleanliness: Sanitary packaging on tools, gloves used during cuticle removal & nail shaping, salon itself is well taken care of (no chipping paint or dusty corners)

Comfort/extra perks: Coffee, mimosas, and small snacks provided. Reclining chairs with pillows. 10 minute-ish hand and arm massage with lavender oil and a hot towel finish included with manicures.

Nails: Most polishes are OPI or Deborah Lippmann, LED light for gel, nail techs are very meticulous and careful to give you a good mani/pedi--not sure how
