Really bad customer service... It's really hard to understand what their services are or get an appointment when no one is willing to talk to you at the front desk. They need to get a better Admin situation going. They might be doing a wonderful job on nails, but I don't know because I can never get some simple questions answered so I can make an appointment. read more

Where's the 6th star?!?! I started going to Kelley in April 2024. This is NOT your normal gel manicure - and worth every penny. My nails have never looked better, felt stronger, and received more compliments. I have gone back twice since - and now have a standing appointment. If you go with a more neutral color, you can get away with every 4 weeks instead of every 3 weeks. She is superbly professional and wonderfully patient and pleasant. She also does a fantastic pedicure! I had a horrible experience with gels a few years ago and was very reluctant to try again. Kelley has changed my mind and explained to me how the structured process is much healthier for your nails. read more

Kelly did a fantastic job with my pedicure. She was super detail-oriented and kept asking me if I was comfortable or needed anything. She was very gentle and definitely made an effort to clean any edges to ensure the polish was flawless. I got regular polish so I can't speak to her more complex designs but the pictures look amazing I would recommend her services to anyone in the area. read more

Kelley made my vision come to life! She is transparent and communicative, which made me feel right at home for our appointment. I had sent her a picture of what I wanted to do (in advance) and she came prepared, asking clarifying questions to ensure I would be happy with the end result. We discussed shape, types of glitter, nail polish shades, etc. Needless to say I'm absolutely over the moon with the end result and have already received so many compliments! The nail art is wonderful, but also commendable is the care that went into preparing my nails. I am already looking forward to going back to see Kelley again soon. If you want high quality nail art in San Francisco - you must check out the Nail Executive. read more

Kelley does celebrity-level nails. I have been to a ton of different salons in SF, and no one compares. All the nails I've bookmarked on Instagram and dreamed about are from nail techs in LA or further - until Kelley. Her attention to detail and commitment to literal perfection is unmatched. I'm so happy I found her! read more

I could go on and on but she is truly the absolute best! read more

This was my first time getting the Apres Gel-X extensions...and they look SO GOOD! I will never get acrylics again. Kelley is very detail-oriented and will make your nails look incredible. She's so easy to talk to also, which is nice since this process takes a couple of hours. But it is so worth every minute and every penny for the quality and care you get. Thank you, Kelley! read more

Kelley did a beautiful job on my nails! Her space is comfy, clean, and mostly private. There was construction happening while I was there but I imagine it would feel more private without that. She had lots of interesting things to talk about gave me some tips on my upcoming travel! Scheduling was super easy and she made sure I got in before my trip- alerting me when there was a last min opening. The most expensive gel mani I've ever had, but my far, the best nail art and overall mani experience Ever!!! Thank you Kelley! read more

Kelley was fantastic! I was going on two back to back trips to Hawaii and Mexico and her attention to detail and skill was amazing! My pedicure has long outlasted both trips and my manicure held out almost 2 full weeks. Beyond that she got my nail beds cleaned up and cuticles in shape! read more

Working with Kelley ahead of my wedding was a delight. I wanted to find a nail artist who could do some subtle nail art for my big day, so I did a few test runs with Kelley to try out different colors and styles. She was patient when I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted, creative in her recommendations, and she really listened and understood the vibe of my wedding and what would match. She even offered to order a new stamp to get the art exactly right. Each gel manicure turned out lovely and Kelley was fun to chat with during our appointments. I got 2.5-3 solid weeks out of my manicures. I used her for gel removal as well. To my surprise, my nails looked great after the removal which had not been the case at other salons. I highly recommend Kelley - she's worth every penny. Book in advance! read more

All hail the nail executive! Where do I even begin?! ...I have been seeing Kelly for my nails over the past few years and I never turned back. She does a fabulous job and my nails are always solid (I work with my hands so this is important to me.) she is such a perfectionist and it really shows in her work. Might I also mention that she uses a different type of gel that got me off of acrylics entirely, my natural nails are really long and healthy thanks to her read more

The results speak for themselves! I'm including pictures from Day 1 and Day 12. You can barely tell the difference between the two. She is that good. I've washed dishes, worked out, etc. The difference is in the quality of both the eco-friendly materials used and the care she takes in application. Kelley really knows her stuff and she is such wonderful company too! read more

Kelley is my favorite nail artist ever! She's talented, detail-oriented, kind, and efficient. Since I started getting structured gel manicures with Kelley, I have finally been able to grow long nails naturally with no fear of breakage - they've never looked better! The space is cozy and the color selection is top notch. Thank you, Kelley!! read more

I found Kelley because she works a block down from my store and I am so glad I did! I've been getting SNS dip for years with a lot of quality inconsistency and unfortunate damage to my nails. I came to Kelley with deep grooves in my nail beds from a bad dip set. She has taken SO much care with my nails and they are healthier than they have ever been. We have done both structured gel and the Apres Gel-X system (it's like super long lasting press on nails if you want length). I really love the structured gel because it keeps my nails thin but lasts about a month even with a toddler and constant hand washing. Every set has been better than the last because she takes really pays attention to all the little details and makes sure to customize your manicure to your nails and your lifestyle. We've also done lots of fun nail art and I love trying out new styles with her! She is 1000% worth the investment and your nails will thank you. Plus you'll get constant compliments! read more

Booked my wife and appointment with Kelly off a referral from a colleague. The report back was: Kelley's space is beautiful and clean! I love the decor and privacy. She does an amazing job with my manicures every time. Kelly's nail art is creative and detailed. Can't wait to come back. read more

Kelley was great! So friendly, and you can tell she knows nails. I'm a nail biter, and she made my natural nails look presentable. Actually way better than presentable. I got so many compliments. I would have gone back for a fill if I hadn't got so busy. But at least I know exactly where I'm going next time I need to get my nails done. read more

Hands-down the best manicurist I've ever had! Kelley is so precise and good at what she does. On top of that, she was super friendly, sweet and fun to talk to. I'll be going to her regularly now. I love my beautiful gel nails. Thank you Kelley! read more

I'm so happy with my manicure from Kelley, The Nail Executive. It was beautifully executed and lasted for weeks! She is creative, professional and so much fun. I'll definitely be going back again soon! read more

Kelley is an amazing nail artist. Her attention to detail and professionalism are unparalleled. The space (Florette) is super cute, and I absolutely love that she offers Rise and Shine mani's from 6am - 8am! Checking "getting my nails done" off my list before I even start my work day is so awesome and frankly, it makes me feel like a VIP. AND there's coffee. Recommend 100%. read more

Kelley rocks! Lover her and her ethical business practice. The quick option is great for my life eventhough i would talk with Kelley for hours. Highly recommend her shop for sure. A must try! read more

I was in the area for another appointment and just needed a simple pedicure. It was a lovely experience and I really enjoyed meeting and speaking with Kelley. Her work is impeccable and her polish choices are lovely. Lots of earthy tones that I love (among many other tones). She is taking proper precautions and it was just a great experience. Would suggest her to anyone. (From the pictures, her nail art looks stunning!) read more

Kelley helped me update and revise my resume to fit today's marketplace. The last time I had looked for a job was many, many years ago and the process and what recruiters and hiring managers look for in an ideal candidate are different. Kelley educated me on this new process and made my resume more applicable and effective for jobs I was interested in! read more

The first time I went to Kelley for my nails, I was blown away! She did a perfect gel and it lasted for so long. She is so so sweet and accommodating - I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. read more

Loved my manicure with Kelley. I was visiting SF and stopped in this adorable shop in Hays Valley. Kelley was super creative in her nail design and I will definitely be back when in San Fran area. Thanks for a great Mani ! read more
