About

The salon opened in 2022 and says it has offered Eastern European-style techniques to clients in the U.S. since then. All three San Francisco locations are open from 10 AM to 8 PM, seven days a week.

Manicures are a major part of the menu. The Russian manicure is done dry, without water soaks, with an electronic file for cuticle work. Options range from a plain manicure with no polish, to a gel overlay on natural nails, to a Russian manicure with regular polish or a hard gel version, and then to Gel X and hard gel extensions. Extensions are booked as separate services from the gel manicure. Clients who want both hands and feet done can book the 4 hands experience, a manicure and pedicure at the same time, by text or phone.

Pedicures include a dry no-polish option, a Russian pedicure with regular polish, a full gel pedicure, and KART pedicures in three levels, which use KART products to remove dead skin and soften calluses. Lash services cover tints, lifts, lift-and-tint, and extension sets from express and mega express styles to classic, light volume, mega volume and 3D volume. The salon makes its own lashes from hypoallergenic fiber and uses them for every lash procedure. Clients are asked to arrive with clean eyes and no eye makeup. Makeup can be removed at the start of the visit, but that may shorten the service time. Brows are shaped with waxing or tweezing after brow mapping, and can be tinted or laminated for a set look that lasts weeks.

Appointments include a neck and shoulder massager and a complimentary drink such as tea or champagne. Well-behaved pets are welcome, and treats are available for them.

The salon also runs a three-day beginner course, Russian Manicure for Beginners, priced at $3,000. Course materials, tools and four live models for practice are included, and classes are held at the Valencia Street location. The salon says graduates are guaranteed job placement at Look At Me on completion.

Manicures and pedicures use a dry, electronic-file method rather than water soaks. The salon says it runs a multi-step sterilization process and uses single-use tools for each client, and it describes its nail services as non-toxic and free of harmful chemicals.
