Ritual Nail Bar — Local services in San Francisco

This place is incomparable! I came in not knowing what to expect, but this is a nail spa experience that is uniquely relaxing.

First, when you go in, you aren't hit with the smell of chemicals, or visually blinded with cramped bottles of colors and TVs playing mindless shows. The ambiance exudes a sumptuous minimalist design (is that even a term?!). It really gives your mind a reset as soon as you enter.
