You’ve Got Nails

Mani & Nanny Nail Salon and Nursery Opens

You need to look your best — even when your little ones are at their worst.

Get a mani-pedi on mommy time at Mani & Nanny, a trailblazing nail salon offering childcare alongside top-flight pampering.

Let an expert nail technician polish your digits (with three-free polish — sans formaldehyde, toluene, or dibutyl phthalate) while a trained nanny delights moppets (from 6 weeks to 6 years) with crafts, games, and hugs in the adjacent nursery.

A monitor and one-way window allow you to keep an eye on them.

So from where you’re sitting?

It all looks good.

Mani & Nanny, 1722-1724 Divisadero Street, between Sutter and Bush Streets (415-673-6264 or maniandnanny.com).
