Between North Beach and the Financial District are the serene, tree-lined streets of Jackson Square - and for almost 20 years, beauty mavens have been flocking to Galina for decadent pampering sessions from this popular Russian-born nail magician.

Chosen as best in San Francisco beauty by Harper's Bazaar magazine, Galina loves a good challenge: "The worse shape the nails are in - the more I like to work on them." Her European style of deep cleaning and intense cuticle work are a favorite among veteran clients, as are her decadent 30-minute Reflexology sessions, eye brow shaping services, and heightened levels of cleanliness and hygiene.

Galina is one of only a handful of Bay Area manicurists to use the exclusive Qtica and Zoya lines, already renowned in salons throughout the East Coast and Europe. The wide selection of brilliant colors are super-long lasting and completely formaldehyde & tulane -free-great for those with sensitivities to other nail polish brands.
