Nail It (Russian Manicure)

I had an excellent experience at Nail It and was genuinely impressed from start to finish. I received a gel manicure from Irina, the founder, and her attention to detail and professionalism were impressive. She took her time, made sure every step was done properly, and the final result looked flawless--clean, precise, and exactly what I wanted. This was my first gel manicure and I got it as part of a trip out of the country where I knew I would want long-lasting results. I was not disappointed -- What stood out most was the longevity and durability of the gel manicure I received. It lasted exceptionally well without chipping, lifting, or losing its shine, which is something l had anticipated and had been looking forward to -- in and out of car services, taxis, airport lounges, hotel hallways, fancy restaurants, etc. Irina's manicure held up beautifully and I felt confident knowing my nails looked their very best for the entire length of my trip. Nail It clearly uses quality products and the application process was done with real care and expertise. Beyond the manicure itself, the overall experience was stellar. The salon was welcoming, the service felt personalized, and the value for the quality received was outstanding. Having the founder herself as my nail technician made the experience feel even more special. I would absolutely recommend Nail It to anyone looking for beautiful, lasting nails and a truly professional manicure experience.

This is my favorite nail salon in San Francisco. I’ve tried Look At Me and several other highly rated places, but I always find myself coming back here. The owner is wonderful, and the atmosphere feels genuine and welcoming. They’re also incredibly flexible and accommodating whenever I have a personal emergency. Highly recommend!

Been getting my nails done here for about two years and I always have a great experience. They are wonderful with cuticle and nail care. My nails always feel exceptionally clean and look sleek. I’ve had a few technicians and all have been stellar! My favorite and go-to person for the past year has been Sasha. She’s very laid back and has excellent attention-to-detail. Pictured are my bridal shower nails with a fresh nail extension.

I’ve been a client of Irina’s for more than three years by now. Her colleagues and she always do a perfect job. Irina is very helpful in choosing the design and making sure the manicure stays intact for weeks. All the nail technicians in this practice are highly skilled and the location is clean and conveniently located.

I have been to more than 10 nail salons in San Francisco, and it has always been very difficult to get truly high-quality work. As a Brazilian, I am used to Brazilian manicures, so I was extremely satisfied with the very detailed and careful work here. The finishing was excellent, and the staff were incredibly kind and lovely. I highly recommend it.
