Za Za Zoom

ZaZa Nail Spa

Isn’t it just the best when you’re all comfy in your recliner reading magazines while someone douses your feet in lotion and gives you a much-needed foot massage?

What, that’s never happened to you?

Then head directly to ZaZa (which means “flower movement” in Arabic), South Park’s first nail salon.

The serene space is gussied up in earth tones with lavender and sea green accents. Beautiful flowers and handblown glass light fixtures make the place feel extra special.

But the real fun is in the experience: Plop down in a recliner (with cupholders for your tea) while a meticulous esthetician gets to work on your dogs. Choose a fancy Red Flower lotion (lavender, honeysuckle, rose, chamomile, or jasmine) and plop your toes in a bath of petals and rocks. Once it’s time for the polish, prop up the footrest and really let your worries go.

Also offered: waxing services, Havaianas, and a bevy of products by La Licious, Linden Leaves, and Zents.

Of course, you could always try it at home.

But we suggest you take your little piggies to market.

ZaZa Nail Spa, 543 2nd Street, between Bryant and Brannan Streets (415-495-6292 or zazanailspa.com).
