The nail salon San Francisco clients trust for Russian manicure
Nail It Studio is a professional nail salon in SoMa, San Francisco, specializing in the Russian manicure technique. Founded by Irina Evglevskaya, the studio was built with one clear purpose: to bring the highest standard of nail care to San Francisco clients who want results that actually last. Our location at 16 Jessie St in SoMa makes us one of the most accessible nail salons in the city, a short walk from the Financial District, Union Square, and the Mission.
The Russian manicure is not simply a trend at our studio. It is the foundation of everything we do. Unlike a traditional water-soak manicure, the Russian e-file technique prepares the nail plate completely dry, removes only the non-living cuticle tissue with precision, and creates a tighter bond between the nail plate and polish. The result is a manicure that lasts 2 to 5 weeks, longer than anything produced by a conventional salon, with natural nails that grow healthier over time with every appointment.
Beyond the Russian manicure, Nail It Studio offers a full range of professional nail and beauty services in San Francisco, including pedicure, nail extensions, lash extensions, eyebrow lamination, and sugaring and waxing. Every service is performed by trained technicians using sterilized tools. Every client receives the same level of precision and care, regardless of which service they book.

"She is an artist and a perfectionist. She puts so much care and attention to detail."
Nail It Studio was built around one idea: that nail care done correctly is transformative. Owner Irina Evglevskaya founded the studio in San Francisco's SoMa neighborhood with a focus on the Russian manicure technique, a dry e-file method that creates cleaner nail beds, stronger bonds, and results that last significantly longer than a traditional water-soak manicure.
Every technician at Nail It Studio is trained to the same exacting standard. Every tool is sterilized before every appointment. And every client, whether they book a manicure or a lash extension, receives the same level of attention and care.
What clients say about our San Francisco nail salon
Reviews by our gorgeous clients in San Francisco.
"I have been going to Irina's Studio for Russian manicures for a little less than one year. She is an artist and a perfectionist. She puts so much care and attention to detail. My nails usually last four weeks and my natural nails (under the gel) are strong and healthy. I show her a picture and she brings it to life! Such a relaxing and quality experience going to her for my nails, I always look forward to it!"
"I love this nail salon! The cozy, relaxing vibe makes it a perfect spot to unwind. They're super serious about hygiene, sterilizing everything before each use, which is great. The range of nail colors is huge, so you'll always find something you love. The manicures are always precise, and the polish lasts weeks without chipping! I highly recommend this place if you're looking for quality nail care in a warm, welcoming environment!"
"Best place to get top-notch professional Russian manicure and pedicure. The team of girls that can save every nail and their service is the best. My go-to place every 4 weeks, cause that is what a quality manicure can hold to. Can not recommend that place enough!"

Why San Francisco clients choose Nail It Studio
There are many nail salons in San Francisco. What separates Nail It Studio is the standard. We do not cut corners on hygiene, technique, or training. The Russian manicure is a precise, technical service that requires proper education and the right equipment. Done incorrectly, e-file work causes damage. Done correctly, as we practice it every day at our SoMa studio, it is the most effective nail care method available, producing results that are cleaner, longer-lasting, and healthier for the natural nail than anything a traditional salon can deliver.
Our clients come from all over San Francisco, the Financial District, the Mission, Hayes Valley, and Noe Valley, and many travel specifically to our SoMa studio because they know the quality of the Russian manicure and beauty services they receive here is not available everywhere. If you are looking for a nail salon in San Francisco that takes its craft seriously, Nail It Studio at 16 Jessie St is where you should be.
