Silky Touch Nail Salon on Haight Street offers a straightforward, no-fuss spot for anyone serious about their nails, especially if acrylics are your go-to. Tucked into a bustling neighborhood known for its eclectic mix of shops and cafes, this salon stands out as one of the few in the area that specialize in acrylic nail work paired with gel finishes, which keeps regulars coming back.

The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with a crew that feels more like helpful neighbors than distant technicians. It’s clear that the staff, particularly one nail tech named Nancy, take time to listen carefully to each client’s preferences, making it a spot where personal style and nail design ideas can come to life without rush. This attentiveness also makes it a reliable place if you want something a bit creative, like layering thin glitter French tips or custom nail art, but prefer a relaxed pace when getting it done.

For locals who rely on durable acrylics, Silky Touch nails tend to last impressively well, often stretching beyond the typical wear. The pricing is reasonable considering the quality and personalized service, and the salon also offers a broader array of treatments including massages, waxing, and eyelash extensions — building a one-stop spot for self-care needs that fits the laid-back but quality-focused vibe of this part of San Francisco.

Visit during weekdays or early evenings for a quieter experience, or you might find a small stream of regulars dropping by for quick fills or nail touch-ups. This is a place that suits those who want consistency and a welcoming environment over flashiness, making it popular with a steady local clientele rather than tourists or one-off drop-ins.

Overall, Silky Touch is best for people who value skillful acrylic and gel nails within a friendly, approachable setting — especially those living or working nearby who appreciate a salon where staff remember their name and nail preferences.

I LOVE silky touch, I have been coming here for years as they are really the only salon in the area that does acrylic nails. I get acrylic with gel every time. My nail tech, Nancy, is such a sweet person and is so responsive to whatever my wishes are for my nails. Everyone is so nice there! Recently I went into the salon to get my acrylic nails filled because I could sense my boyfriend was about to propose, I asked Nancy to make my nails absolutely perfect and she did everything I asked. My nails looked amazing on my special day and they compliment my engagement ring so perfectly, I can't thank her and silky touch enough for always making my nails look beautiful. I highly suggest making an appointment but know that they do get busy and they try to be accommodating to everyone, so keep that in mind (a short wait on occassion is the price you pay for nails you can't get anywhere else in the neighborhood!) And remember thay having perfect nails does not start and end in the salon but rather it's a lifestyle, so take care of them! I have had nothing but good experiences at silky touch and I am a repeat customer of many years. The pictures speak for themselves of how great of a job they always do!! Thank you silky touch!!!!

Went here for the first time this week to get an acrylic fill and had a great experience. Nancy was able to get me in same day, listened when I explained I wanted the layer of gel to be pretty thin and then was very patient in painting on French tips with just glitter which took several layers. I’d definitely recommend for acrylics and will be back!

Have visited this salon twice in the last few months and am going again for wax and regular manicure tomorrow. All of the employees there are very kind and accommodating and the prices are definitely affordable. Thank you all for what you do I appreciate you. See you tomorrow!

Love the quality and atmosphere, so I come back regularly. The staff are very sweet, especially Nancy, and always listen to my creative ideas with patience and an open mind. Whenever I am there it is nice to see so many other customers come in as well. Good prices and my acrylics always last for 2-4 weeks!!
