Treat yourself to the Luxurious Manicure at Ritual Nail Bar with Karla--you won't regret it! From the moment I was handed a glass of rosé, the entire experience felt elevated and intentional. One of the things I truly appreciate about this salon is how calm and serene the environment is. It's not packed with clients, which allows the team to focus on quality and attention to detail. You can really feel the difference in the level of care they provide. I am absolutely coming back soon and I definitely want to try their nail designs--the samples up front look very well done and they do everything from nail stamping, ombre effects, 3D nail art. I'm really glad I found this gem! read more

Starting with the positive: very clean and calming environment, professional and detail oriented staff The negative: more expensive than other salons nearby (gel manicure $70 + $25 for French tip, regular pedicure $60) and both the gel manicure and regular pedicure started chipping and pealing within a week. I'm bummed that the results did not last because they looked beautiful for the first few days and the overall experience at the salon was great. I would have been willing to continue paying the higher price if the results lasted. However, as is, I don't think I'll be back. read more

I was lucky to participate in a women's fundraising event for our school which lead to discovering my IT spot when it comes to my nails. And my nails are my non-negotiable when it comes to how salons provide their service and I have been to plenty that I haven't returned. The quality and professionalism of this place is what makes it great! Tuyen, the owner and her staff, enjoys their craft and very talented with the work they provide for each customer that walks through the door. They dedicate ample time for each client to take their time in deciding what they want and offer recommendations to enhance our vision! I ALWAYS leave feeling seen and heard when it comes to getting what I love. Their products are from top notch Japan and Korea which I appreciate the journey in how they select their products. You also feel the essence of the staff working together and loving what they do! You know you have chosen the right nail salon when compliments from strangers asking where you get your nails done because it's looks expensive! Ritual is like the boutique luxury nail salon that we all SO DESERVE in San Francisco! read more

I knew I wanted to try this spot when I walked by. The vibe is very chic and feels fancy. Definitely a more spa-like atmosphere than your average nail salon. I have since been here 3 times for manicures. The staff is very friendly, and I was pleasantly surprised to find out this is a female locally owned business - given the aesthetic I would have thought it was a franchise. I have naturally weak and brittle nails so do not get them done often. I usually can't justify the price of getting my nails done because they don't last long. Unfortunately, there was no exception here with my last gel manicure chipping only 2 days later, *sigh*. Since the gel did not hold up, I will not be going back for this service. I plan to go back to try their pedicure. This place is too great to let one bad experience keep me from returning. One downside is their prices are more expensive than other nail salons in the area, but it is justified for top service. read more

This is where I like to come when I want to treat myself to a nice pedicure! My gal, Van, was so meticulous about shaping my nails and cleaning them, it was a full half hour of her taking detailed attention to the quality of my nail. It is on the pricier side on the scale of nail salons but I feel that you truly get what you pay for here. They play French music, offer you a glass of still or sparkling water, wine for a price- it is a really lovely experience- I will continue to come here for my nice pedicure treats! read more

This is a great little spot for a pedicure! Van was lovely, soft-spoken, and very attentive. Very much a spa-like atmosphere with high ceilings and lots of empty space. Was offered an array of beverages, and their in-house tea was really yummy. Looking forward to returning for more nail services! read more

The massage was other worldly, a spiritual experience!! So clean , kind, quiet and comfortable. I was late and they were still able to see me. A piece of tranquility in a crazy world. I recommend. read more

They take good care of you and your nails once you're in the chair behind the bar! Unlike most places, they WILL NOT be scraping/drilling your nails. They'll lightly just push off the goo on your nails after applying a polish that softens previous gel on your nails. I also loved how patient they were in trying to match the photo you show them- they will make sure to try a few things and that you like it on one finger before actually moving on to the rest of your nails. read more

At last! A nail shop in SF that's worth the money! I was really happy with my experience, staff was very kind and the nail technician was very gentle. I got the regular polish and to my surprise it lasted a full two weeks without chipping after going to the beach, swimming, and snorkeling every day of my trip. I'll be back! :) read more

Ritual Nail Bar - Feeling very Meghan Markle, royalty era with these classy short nails. - Nail Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

A huge step up in nail salon quality in both ambiance and quality of service! All of the people here were so friendly and did an amazing job while making us feel welcomed and not rushed. They had a simplified selection of quality nail polishes which was not overwhelming to choose from. The luxury decor, relaxing music, and cleanliness which lacked any chemical smell are just unmatched in this industry. Absolutely the only nail salon I want to go to again and totally worth the journey from San Jose to San Francisco for this experience. But maybe you could expand to the South Bay ;) read more

This place is different. Beautifully designed, truly luxurious salon that doesn't feel like a 'factory farm'. Super clean and hygienic. Expert technicians delivery beautiful mani pedi's. Non-toxic and cruelty free. It's everything a nail salon should be! I've searched months to find a good salon. This place is GREAT! read more

Overdue review! This salon is delightful. I have thought about flying in from SoCal just to come to this salon every few months. The owner is amazing, attention to detail is on point, and the salon is so quiet and delightful you could hear a pin drop. Light jazz music, a glass of wine, total relaxation specially in the chaos of SF. My regular polish manicure lasted a full 2 weeks before I took the polish off. Amazing. Thank you will be back soon! read more

I love this place so much. I feel very comfortable and at home here, and they take great care of me. By the time I leave, my arms and legs and feet (from the scrubs and massages) always feel brand new, and my polish looks perfect. They care about the quality of their work and providing a calm environment, and it shows. Also, this is a woman-owned business. I love that, too. read more

This nail salon is BEAUTIFUL! The owner has really thought of everything down to the last detail. Spacious, airy, clean, and PEACEFUL! The most relaxing nail salon I've ever been to. The techs really take their time to get everything PERFECTLY DONE. The hand and feet massages were excellent and even followed up with a lovely warm towel. I will be going back for sure! I feel so pampered!! read more

Great experience here with Tuyen. She has the best attention to detail and really takes care of her customers. She is lovely to chat with. The atmosphere of this place is so clean, chic, and cozy. This is definitely my new go to spot! Haven't tried the pedicures but the manicure is one of my favorites! Great addition to the NOPA/ Haight neighborhood! Thanks Tuyen!!! read more

This place is incomparable! I came in not knowing what to expect, but this is a nail spa experience that is uniquely relaxing. First, when you go in, you aren't hit with the smell of chemicals, or visually blinded with cramped bottles of colors and TVs playing mindless shows. The ambiance exudes a sumptuous minimalist design (is that even a term?!). It really gives your mind a reset as soon as you enter. The polishes she uses are really carefully selected for their ingredients. This is stuff you feel good putting on your skin. And they last! It's been 2.5 weeks since my pedicure and it still looks like the day I stepped out. And everyone there takes their time. The massage feels great, the attention to detail is amazing. Everything just feels like a tailored experience. This will become my absolute go-to from now on! So glad to have found this place. read more

Beautiful space and kind staff. They take time to make sure you're happy with the shape and length, and even let me test out a couple of colors to see what would look best with my skin tone. I really felt pampered and relaxed. Will return! read more

I'm guessing if you are a regular, you would be happy here. We were a group of 6 who had it reserved for 2 hours. We got there on time and they didn't begin our group until 45 minutes later. Mine was completed almost 4 hours later. I had 3 different people work on me, the 2nd one did the wrong type. They left me sitting for 45 minutes after they started mine to do 2 people who came in 2 1/2 hours after me (they were regulars and she asked if I lived in S.F.) even though they did the pedicure 1st and I waited a long time, it was ruined by shoes I put on several hours later. read more

I am visiting from out of town, and came in for a dip manicure. This was my first time getting dip, and loved the whole process. I loved it so much I booked a gel pedicure. Best pedicure I've ever had! Added on the callus remover and the salt scrub, well worth it! read more

Overall this place is 10/10! The atmosphere and the staff are all very kind, relaxing, and comforting! The spa is full of beautiful artwork and the you can tell that the owners have curated the place to be spa like. The woman that did my dip manicure was Tiffany, who was very gentle and removed my gel nail polish prior to my new set. I was given tea and relaxed as she perfected my manicure! The final results are what I was expecting and more. She also did not rush and took her time on everything which I greatly appreciated! read more

Tuyen and her team provide a welcoming space to both relax and receive an expert manicure. The vegan gel polish they use is very durable (lasting ~3 weeks for me) and comes in a delightful array of colors and shades. Come for the manicure, and stay for the attention to detail and wonderful hospitality! read more

Just got my nails done and as always, Ritual nail bar did a fantastic job! Definitely recommend trying if you're looking for a mani/pedi.

Such a lovely new sail salon. Really enjoyed my manicure and pedicure especially because everyone paid a lot of attention to details. And I got a color consultation. read more

OBSESSED with Tuyen and her team. I've been coming here since February 2023, and I've had the best experience every time. Every tech I've had takes their time in prepping my nails, and I'm always super happy with the outcome. I do gel nails, and I'm pretty rough on them (I go to the gym 5+ days a week), but even after a few weeks, they look really good! The environment is relaxing and well-lit, and they always offer a refreshing glass of wine. Honestly it's such a perfect vibe. Thank you! read more

Not sure if it was just the color I put on or the brand, but the quality of the nail Polish (regular, not gel) seems really bad. Pictures are of my nails less than 5 days after the manicure. read more

Beautiful nail salon with such kind and professional staff. Absolutely love my nails and will be coming here often!

Ritual Nail Bar is like no other of the many nail salons in the city. The decor is modern contemporary and so relaxing. Tuyere, the owner really out did herself to make the room set an ambiance like I have never seen. While you're getting treatments, she'll off you a glass of wine picked especially for the experience by a master sommelier! Call and make a reservation now. read more

Beautiful salon. Very clean, aesthetically pleasing salon with comfy chairs. They offer you a drink: tea, water or wine. They use high quality products. It's hands down the most thorough mani pedi I've ever received. I will only be going here from now on. I will definitely recommend this to all of my friends. read more

Service and vibe here are wonderful. Everyone does a beautiful job. I've gotten pedicures and manicures here. And they always last for weeks. Highly recommend!! read more

I found ritual when I was walking in the neighborhood and was drawn in by how spa-like the nail salon is. At my first visit I was able to get a walk in appointment and had a great experience. I mentioned that I normally like to have French manicures and that most places don't do them well. Tuyen recommended booking an appointment so she could take her time and I can get the clean look I like. I booked an appointment for a French gel mani/pedi and was not disappointed. It's been about a month and my pedicure is still looking perfect! Tuyen provided excellent service and ritual is a beautiful salon to relax and wind down. read more

I had such a relaxing mani-pedi here with the wonderful Tuyen that I came back the next week with my mom. The space is gorgeous. Tuyen offers complimentary wine selected by a sommelier while you get pampered. She also helps you pick out the color and design you want in a collaborative way. The perfect place for a self-care ritual! read more

Super expensive and service isn't great. Not worth it. I had to wait 30 min past my apt time before even sitting down, bummer!

Excellent service! Tuyen is my favorite! Very attentive and took her time. Love the hot tea also.

What a wonderful shop! Beautiful location, great service. Staff were very kind too! Really enjoyed the whole experience.
