Where are the best nail salons?

I'm about to head out to my local nail salon for a pedicure and that made me think, where are the best nail salons? Please be sure to post the neighborhood and the name of the salon so that others can go check them out.

Nail Care For You - located on Grant St. in North Beach neighborhood.
$17 pedi/$20 pedi in spa chair or $20 mani/pedi $25 mani/pedi spa chair

Others?

Wow, great question...so out of my frame of reference right now. I'm curious to know as well! Anyone else have thoughts? Particularly on ones that are priced right?

$25 mani/pedi in a spa chair?? I used to pay $30-$35 just for a pedi at my place in Connecticut. Nice! Thanks @Tracypie...

@StephSF - oh yeah and if you go to Polk Street, there are a few that offer similar pricing for spa chair because there are about 5 nail salons on Polk and they are all competing with one another. I am sure there are others.

Killer! Do any of these offer threading? I saw your post on another thread...

A little outside of my wheel house here, but I understand from my younger male metro sexual friends that a good place for guys to get pedicures (I guess this growing in popularity, I have a friend in his late twenties that even gets his toe nails painted with stars and such) is The Nail Bar in Potrero Hill. Friendly staff, and a good non-judgemental environment for guys, though most of the clients are, of course, women.

I don't know the prices.

Hmm...male pedicures. I guess SF would be a good place for that. To be honest, mani/pedis are just as nice and relaxing as a massage and other more "manly" spa treatments. Definitely no judgment here.

I'm more of a doing it yourself sort of gal, but my friend in the city goes to Lush Life in Pacific Heights. I don't know if its any good but I like the name.

As to males getting their nails done--kinda creeps me out.
