I tried a few nail salons in the area, and this one became my favorite. The team is not only talented, theyโ€™re incredibly kind and attentive. Every time I come in, they take such great care to make sure I feel comfortable and that I love my nails. They always help me choose the right color, and somehow, they get it perfect every time. Theyโ€™re fast without cutting corners, and itโ€™s easy to book an appointment even with short notice. On top of that, I just really enjoy being there, the energy is calm, friendly and welcoming.

Carlina and her team have continued to be attentive, detail oriented, and accommodating to my requests. Pictured is my most recent gel manicure. Carlina did such a cute polka dot design! I highly recommend Relax Nails. (updating with new manicure done for the fall season ๐Ÿ /// the dots are so precise people ask me if theyโ€™re real!)

Relax Nails is my favorite nail salon on Haight. Such great value! Carly has been doing my nails for years now. I do an almond shape gel and Carly keeps the shape so consistent and nails the perfect almond shape every time. I always get minimum 2 weeks out of my manicure. There is a great selection of colors - all of my favorite OPI shades. Carly also waxes my brows and keeps them thick and fluffy but cleaned and shaped - perfect balance!

Great local spot! Iโ€™ve had a good experience here since my first visit and have been back several times. The manicurists here are nice and even though I usually get a regular manicure/pedicure, they do such a good job that my nails look good well into the 2nd week.

Great gel manicures and pedicures! Close attention to detail and my manicures regularly last 3-4 weeks. I come back because theyโ€™ve grown out, not because thereโ€™s any chipping or peeling!
