Nail Today is a neighborhood nail salon nestled on Union Street in San Francisco's Marina District, known for a calm and welcoming atmosphere that's ideal for those looking to unwind while getting hands or feet pampered. The space feels intimate rather than flashy, making it easy to settle in whether you’ve booked ahead or drop by on a whim — short waits are common for walk-ins, which speaks to the team’s flexibility.

Clients here tend to appreciate the meticulous attention to detail, especially when it comes to dip powder manicures and pedicures. The dip powder service is notable for its natural, thin finish that resists chipping and can last up to a month, making it a practical choice for busy locals who want durability without sacrificing a subtle, polished look. Pedicures lean toward the thorough and gentle side, often paired with massages that help create a relaxing experience rather than a rushed, purely functional treatment.

The staff’s expertise, particularly among long-time technicians, comes across in personalized service and consistent quality. This spot suits anyone who values a quiet, focused nail session — from Marina residents looking to maintain their nails with care to visitors hoping for a gentle touch after a day exploring the city. Early evenings and weekday afternoons tend to be good times to stop by for a less crowded experience.

Overall, Nail Today offers more than quick nail fixes. It’s a place where locals carve out a bit of downtime, enjoying steady, thoughtful nail care in a modest, low-key setting that fits smoothly into the lively vibe of Union Street without feeling like part of the hustle.

Nail Today is a hidden GEM. I always feel warmly welcomed by the women that work there. They give the BEST pedicures, they don’t rush, & the massages are fantastic. I started doing DIP on my hands, and Tiffany is thee BEST! She has been my nail technician in SF for over two years. I highly recommend her manicures. Her attention to detail is impeccable. Thank you Nail Today!

Rachel and Angela are the two who do dip powder nails at this salon. Rachel did beautiful dip powder as I requested her to do it as thin as possible. Great job! We will see how long they last.

Best dip manicures I’ve ever gotten! Every time my nails last a solid 4 weeks, only reason I have to get them redone is because of the regrowth, they never break or chip. They keep the dip very thin and natural looking too. ALSO only $60.

I had a wonderful experience in this salon. I didn't have an appointment but they got me in with only a 5 minute wait. I always get a gel manicure but tried a dip powder and love it. It looks like my natural nails but better. The polish selection was great and the woman who did my nails was gentle. I will definitely be back.

I love this place and these ladies. I am a regular and they are amazing. I was out of town for a while and had to get my nails done elsewhere. It made me realize not only how well they do my nails, how careful they are and high quality, but also how well they treat me. Everyone should have a little haven to just relax and be a bit pampered in and love the results, nail today is mine. I’ve brought all my good friends here, my mother; I’ve gotten paraffin, acrylics, dip, ombré dip, gel, shellac, pedicures, and oh dear lord, extra neck massage!!!
