5 /5 dawn cheng: Look At Me does the BEST Russian manicures west of the Mississippi. I’ve been going to nail salons regularly for 20 years, and LAM did the best job with my nails out of anywhere else I’ve ever gone. I was absolutely blown away by the level of detail my nail tech, Carol, paid to my nails. She started off by using a nail drill to gently remove my DIY gel nails, then meticulously shaped my cuticles. Then, she applied a builder gel layer prior to applying two coats of my chosen color, a chartreuse green (perfect for spring!). Overall, she spent two hours on making sure I was absolutely obsessed and happy with my nails. Oh, and did I mention a complimentary drink is served with every appointment? You can select from coffee, tea, water, or champagne - and since it was a sunny beautiful Sunday afternoon, I opted for the champagne (which turned out to be a very generous pour). The decor is classy, clean, and well-lit. The nail techs are all extremely professional, and it literally feels like you’re at a luxury spa. Look At Me will forever be my go-to nail salon whenever I’m in SF! (Apparently, they have some locations in LA as well - which I fully intend on checking out as well).
