Polished Lounge San Francisco

This serene SoMa nail salon is far from your neighborhood chop shop. Expert technicians take their time getting you primed and polished (read: no skimpy massage or just-used tools) while you relax in a comfy, overstuffed armchair. At $40, the classic mani-pedi is a steal.
