Hi-Tech Nails

I stopped by Hi-​Tech Nails while my car was being serviced nearby. Great manicure using regular Opi polish that has lasted for days! Previous manicure with regular Opi polish at the salon further down Divisadero was chipping and peeling almost the next day. Recommend Hi-​Tech!

Annie is the best. what more is there to say?

Wow! $ 30 for a mani-​pedi with a great hand and foot massage! I stumbled here to relax before my Drs appt. it’s short 10 min walk from the CPMC Webster campus. The ladies are so friendly and give great massages. They did a great clean up job with my pool damaged cuticles and heels. Parking seems pretty good on this side of Divisadero and the shop is really relaxing. I loved their soft and cushiony chairs!

Great place for gel manicures! It’s $ 30 and well worth it! They actually give you a nice hand massage! :) Annie is great! Call ahead to make an appointment because it gets busy on the weekends!

My go-​to spot. Great neighborhood salon. Mani/​pedis last a fair amount of time, with a pedi you get a pretty great leg massage, and not overpriced. The ladies are VERY nice and accommodating — will stay late if you need. Call 10 minutes before hand and put your name in, and you’ll have a seat.

Great neighborhood nail salon. Awesome massages (with the option to add 5 min for $ 5, 10 min for $ 10, etc), extensive OPI and Essie color selection, and consistent manicures/​pedicures. The women who work here are always so nice and very accommodating. They will stay open late to ensure you can get an appointment. Highly recommended!

Such a nice place to get a mani/​pedi + other needs like waxing.
The ladies here are super welcoming, attentive and good at what they do. The prices are good as well :) It was a great experience here, so I definitely will be coming back! It’s a gem in the neighborhood, parking is a little hard since its on divisadero, so I would go a block or two up where there are more spaces available without meters, which is always a plus!

It’s always such a treat going into High Tech. Annie, Jennie and crew are always so friendly and sweet. It is very reasonably priced and a true neighborhood gem. My boyfriend loves it too!

Without question the best mani/​pedi in the city.
The women working here are so, so sweet, and they are great at what they do. It’s definitely a bonus that it is so affordable, but the best part is how long your mani will last. I’ve had regular manis here last longer than gel.

I will not be returning to Hi– Tech Nails after I received a sloppy manicure and pedicure.
The ambiance felt generally old and unsanitary, something about carpet in a nail salon just seemed unclean. Although they are very inexpensive, the results were not even worth the small amount I paid. I left with nail polish and top coat all over my fingers and toes, and my manicure was so sloppy I had to immediately come home and remove the polish. Overall a disappointing experience and I will not return nor recommend that anyone come here either.

I’ve been going here for over ten years and don’t think you can find a better, more affordable place or a nicer staff. It’s definitely no frills, but they offer all the usual treatments at a great price and always have the newest, trendiest nail polish colors. Also — they do an amazing job with brow waxing. If you’ve had a bad experience or just weren’t that happy with a wax you had in the past, come here and have all of your fears and dissatisfaction put to rest! They’ll do a fantastic job!

I love this place, I’ve been going for at least ten years. Their pedicures last forever and the staff is attentive and flexible. Can’t beat this nail salon, a neighborhood favorite.

It was a great experience and there was nobody there. Only 25 $ for mani/​pedi with a great arm and leg massage with hot towels. Very nice studio too, not your normal nail place — no massage chairs, but comfy leather chairs, calm colored walls, serene spa like interior, and the latest magazines. Sweet ladies and great OPI collection. The water was too hot, but nothing to cry over.
I’ll definitely be back.

I needed a mani pedi and wax for a dinner party that was coming up and I thought I’d pop in since I would always walk by this place. Their shop is super cute and everything — tools, equipment, desks, chairs, etc — was really clean. They did a fantastic job waxing and making sure I was always comfortable. The paint job was pretty good too and the polish lasts for weeks. The owner, Annie, is also very friendly! I’m a poor college student so I’m glad that everything was relatively affordable for me. I LOOOOVE this place! I’d definitely go again whenever I’m in town.

I’ve been a steady customer for about 15 years, even when I moved both out of the neighborhood and even out of San Francisco proper. The big word is TRUST. I trust them to do an excellent job. The place is clean, they are always accommodating, Super work always.

I can’t remember the last time I got a mani-​pedi for under thirty bucks, but at High-​Tech it was only $ 25!
I had a couple hours to kill in the city, saw this place as I drove by, and then saw a parking spot a few doors down. Deciding the universe was trying to tell me something, I parked and walked in. It was a Tuesday afternoon at about 3pm, and the place was empty except for the owner, Annie. The décor is nice, and the chairs are SO comfortable I actually fell asleep.
The paint job itself is pretty sloppy, but still way better than what I would do at home. Honestly, the soak, massage, towel part was so great and the cost so low, I don’t give a rat’s ass what the paint job looks like. I chip my nails so fast anyway, it really doesn’t make much difference, but for those who really care, probably clear polish on the fingers would be a good way to go. A woman who came in after me went that route, and it looked great.
I have a bad toe, and Annie was very nice about avoiding it, and making sure I was always comfortable. The foot soak was very pleasant, but there wasn’t a finger soak. The thing I loved was that after the foot soak, Annie used warmed lotion (they keep it in a warmer at all times) for the massage. The massage was delicious, and she wrapped my legs in hot towels after. All the warmth had me blissed out for sure, and Annie was wonderful about letting me nap. Her demeanor was so pleasant, and the whole experience was very comforting.
I will absolutely be going out of my way to visit this shop again in the future. I never felt rushed, but it sounds like the middle of the week and mid-​day are the best times to visit.

This was the home of my «nail lady» Annie for 2 years. Unfortunately I moved closer to work and can barely get out there.
Things that I love about this place:
1. When they say 10 minutes they mean 10 minutes. I hate being a walk in and waiting longer than the service takes.
2. They are very detailed, no color left around the nail or in the cuticles.
3. This was the first place I discovered warm lotion with massage… and I swear they massage for at least 10 minutes.
4. Pedis last for 4 – 6 weeks!
Everything is affordable, comfortable and easy.
Not to mention the best coffee next door :)

Whenever I have a few minutes in SF, I would pop in to see Annie, the owner. i prefer to go on a weekday, otherwise the wait is too long.
my girlfriend turned me onto this salon about 8 years ago. you can get a full mani and pedi for only $ 25!!! annie is fast and does a wonderful job. my polish lasted almost 1 ½ weeks before they started to look really chipped and tired (i had on a shiny red color). if you are looking for a great mani or pedi without the price tag of a full pampering, go to high tech and you won’t be disappointed
you won’t get:
— wine or green tea to sip
–massage chair
–bubbly pedi suck
–the feeling that the nail techs are talking about in their native language (some clients sense this at other salons. they are very professional here)
you will get:
–great work
–tools that are bagged and sanitized in the little light machine for each client
–very clean environment
–warmed lotion for the hand and foot massage
–very warm towels wrapped around your feet and calves and hands after the warm lotion massage AAAAAHHHHHHHH!
–flowers and sea salts in your foot soak
–the best deal in town!!!

I’m a huge fan of these ladies. I have in the past had a poor experience here. However, it’s been two years and now that I’m back in the city, I went back and have had great service!
I’ve had acrylics done and they are always exactly as I ask. My pedicures are always nice and the paint job lasts for months if I don’t change it myself.
It’s confusing to me why all the bad reviews?! Honestly, even at my worst moment in this place in the past, they weren’t THAT bad. These ladies are far more friendly than the ladies who work at Silk.
Their pedicures are awesome and their service, has been second to none for me and my three girlfriends who live in the hood and are now «official» clients here.
I will always go back and even if I have to get in my car for a little drive back to my old hood.
I recommend giving them a try and hopefully you’ll have the same great experience I have had.

So i’ve been living in this hood for almost two years and i’ve always gone to Divisadero nails (which is great!.. everyone is super sweet there!)
GRGH! i feel bad for saying i’ve fallen in love with Hi Tech nails!
I needed to get an eyebrow waxing before a trip and Divisadero nails was closed so i popped in to Hi Tech. and it was clean, super nice. and fast!
I came back a week later for a mani pedi… and it was quite possibly the best i’ve ever had! I do miss the massage chairs at Divis Nails but the ambiance and treatment is much better at Hi Tech!
