Jennie’s Nails is a cozy nail salon tucked into a small strip on El Camino Real in San Bruno, offering a relaxed spot for anyone looking to brighten up their nails without navigating a sprawling, hectic salon. The space is modest, with just a handful of manicure and pedicure stations, which helps keep the atmosphere calm and personal rather than crowded or noisy.

People come here mostly for detailed nail art or enhancements, and it’s clear the staff takes pride in delivering careful, attentive service. Whether you stop by with a photo reference for intricate gel designs or want a straightforward mani-pedi, Jennie’s team works thoughtfully to get it right. It’s the kind of place that values quality over rushing through appointments, so the best approach is to call ahead and book a slot—especially if you’re hoping for a specific technician like Jennie herself.

The pricing is reasonable compared to other Bay Area salons, which makes it attractive not just for locals but also for visitors who want good nail work without the typical San Francisco prices. The friendly and efficient service stands out too, striking a balance between accommodating walk-ins and managing a tight schedule. If you swing by during a quieter part of the day, you can expect a peaceful environment where staff clearly care about the customer experience.

Jennie’s Nails fits naturally into the San Bruno neighborhood, making it a convenient spot for nearby residents to quickly refresh their nails between errands or after work. Nail extensions, custom gel art, and well-done manicures are highlights here. Overall, this is a solid choice for anyone who appreciates careful craftsmanship in a straightforward, welcoming setting.

Loved it what Jennie did with my nails. I just showed Jennie a picture and that was enough to do her magic. Amazed by the service and the cost. I am visiting SF and trusted the reviews for Jennie’s Nails. I specially asked for Jennie as per the reviews. I am sure the other nail techs are equally amazing as what I could see in the store. PS: I asked for Nail Extensions Full Set

Love Jennie’s, they always do a fabulous job. Their prices are reasonable in comparison to other salons, especially for how high quality. My nails always last 3 weeks, and you can tell the ladies care about their work. Bonus if you pay in cash!

Have been to this nail salon a couple times and can’t say enough great things. Small shop (3 pedicure chairs, 2 manicure chairs) and great service. Jennie takes a lot of pride in her work and is grateful for every customer. Top notch all around. Best to call first to make sure she has time for you, she hates making customers wait, and I appreciate that. Great small business with an owner who takes pride in business.

Mai did an amazing job on this deer print gel set! The price is really reasonable and I just showed a reference photo for her to go off of and they came out so cute

I came during lunchtime as a walk-in and although it was busy they team worked to get my service done. The women here are very considerate and it isn’t overwhelmingly loud or hectic considering the space. Jennie did my nail design. I’m extremely pleased with the service I received and it was executed so well. If you need intricate designs or art that you can’t get elsewhere definitely come here!

I just realized as I was sitting here post pedicure that I have been coming to Jennie’s for over a decade and it’s still my favorite. It may not have the fancy bells and whistles, but it’s comfortable and friendly and I look forward to my time here every time!

First time here, came here based off star rating on google maps, and it was close to my house. Was able to book through Yelp, which they responded within 5 minutes of me checking availability. When I entered I was immediately sat down to get a full set. I brought in a picture of what I wanted and right away Jessica went to work. When I tell you I’ve never been so impressed with someone’s technique and skill!! I was smiling the whole time because I never had to make a suggestion, or tell her I didn’t like something. She was spot on with what I wanted! Loved her work, I’ll be coming back for sure! Thanks Jessica

I’ve come to Jennie’s Nails consistently for a few years now and my nails are always such a hit with friends, family, and coworkers. I’ve worked with a majority of the nail techs there and they are always so sweet and friendly. I always show inspo pics to my nail tech that I’m working with during my appointments and they always deliver. I always feel comfortable communicating what I want as well as what I don’t want. Also, I do enjoy getting pedicures here as well!! My favorite is the deluxe with the paraffin wax. It’s a small, clean space and it’s my favorite time to relax and get some self care in during my busy week.
