What People Are Saying About Silk Nail Salon
Featured Review

In Short – Void of the posh trappings of upscale salons, this warm spot makes up for its lack of luxury with affordable pricing and thoughtful touches, such as a complimentary refreshment table for its Saturday morning customers. The technicians are known primarily for their signature hour-long spa pedicure, which includes a warm lotion massage, thorough buffing, a polish change and a foot bath in marbles. Additional services include manicures, bikini and facial waxing, and full body massage.
Editor's Tips
- When To Go:
- On Saturday mornings, this salon offers guests Mediterranean platters of spreads, dips and cheese, which can be enjoyed while waiting to get nails done.
- Hair Removal:
- Waxing is available at this salon including Brazilian waxing and bikini line waxing.
Simply the best!!!

My sisters live in S.F and when I'm in town we go to Silk for mani-pedi's. It's usually 3 or more of us if my neice and Mom come along - and they always accomodate us so we can sit together and chat and be done at the same time. Jade is wonderful and her staff is friendly, pampering and just top notch. The entire experience from the endless candy containiers to the snacks and beverage spread, to the heated lotions and fragrant herb foot bath, comfy pillows and reclining chairs, to all the yummy nail polish selections - just great. It's not an appointment - it's an experience. If you are visiting S.F. -Go to Silk and tell Jade that this east coast fan sent you to her!
Terrific experience.

I got a pedicure there just last night and the experience was great. The atmosphere was clean and relaxing, the pedicurist (her name was Jean) was great, very professional. Everyone was was very nice, and the prices were very reasonable. I would go back in a heart beat.
Best Mani/Pedis Ever!

I used to go to a more expensive salon (guess which one) but tried Silk at my friend's advice. I'm normally a sanitary freak and am typically afraid of small, cheap nail salons but was impressed by the friendly, english-speaking staff, hospitality (beverage selection), extensive menu, fantastic (high-end) polish selection, amazing massages and clean facilities. I LOVE T's waxing, and Amy and J are so sweet. I am a mani/pedi fiend and go weekly so I like to think I know what I'm talking about. The only problem is that I just moved so it'll be a trek to get to them but it's SO worth it.
- Pros: Clean facilities, awesome massages, great polish selection and extensive menu
- Cons: Only one location (open more!)
Top Notch Bald Crotch

I have been getting brazilian for years. This is the best place. For 30 bux, you get a clean wax, and its quick. I would dare to call it cheap, but that makes it sound like rubbish. I usually am all red and swollen for hours, at Silk, I wasnt irritated at all. I also usually get ingrown hairs, and have to endure the burn and stink of TendSkin. I never got one even irritated pore. Its been three weeks, and with the exception of a few stragglers, I will brobably have to wait another 3 or 4 before I can wax again. I have never written a review, and I thought I had to share.
- Pros: Brazilian
- Cons: NONE
Best Customer Service!

I have been going to Silk Nail Salon for years and as most of you all know they are great! But I had to most amazing experience there last Saturday that I wanted to share it with all of you. First and foremost I had never been on a weekend before and couldn't believe the spread of food that they had for everyone to enjoy. There was granola and fruit, hummus and pita, cookies, croissants, etc. Secondly, as I was getting my pedicure the owner noticed that I was getting a parking ticket because I was so relaxed that I forgot to ask her to feed the meter. She felt terrible even though it was clear that I could have cared less. As I was leaving admiring my newly manicured nails and toes she stopped me and gave me a gift certificate for a free pedicure. Even though it was not her fault that I received a parking ticket she felt awful and wanted to make up for it. I was more then shocked. It was totally unnecessary, but the best customer service experience that I have had anywhere. I usually only get a manicure and pedicure there on special occasions, but she's made a customer for life. I'll never go anywhere else. Thanks again Silk!
