It’s M3 Time Nail Salon sits quietly on 21st Street, serving the local San Francisco community with reliable and thorough nail care. This salon has built a reputation for consistently detailed manicures and pedicures, with an emphasis on comfort and client attention that comes through in the relaxed but professional atmosphere.

Clients here tend to book well in advance—sometimes up to two weeks ahead—reflecting how in-demand the service is, especially if you want to be sure to get a preferred nail technician like Kelly or Lin. Both are known around these parts for their skill and care: Kelly is the go-to for trendy gel colors and quick, clean finishes, while Lin is appreciated for her gentle touch and consistent attention to detail.

The spa environment feels clean and peaceful, which matches the slow, pampering pace of their favorite treatments. A classic pedicure here takes its time, often incorporating extras like paraffin wax, hot stone massages, and warm lotions, elevating what might be a standard service elsewhere into something that clearly prioritizes client comfort. The prices are moderate, and many locals appreciate how this attention to detail fits well into their self-care routines without feeling rushed or superficial.

It’s M3 Time is a spot where friendly staff make the experience feel personal—many clients mention the welcoming attitude and how the team remembers their preferences. If you’re someone who values a no-hassle, well-done manicure or foot treatment with an experienced crew that knows their craft, this salon fits the bill. Weekdays or early evenings work best to snag an appointment if you plan ahead, as the place keeps a steady flow of regulars.

Lin helped me both times I've been here and she's extremely good! The staff are all very friendly and personable. Everyone is very professional and clean as well. Make sure you book 1-2 days ahead of time because they're always very busy.

This place is the best one I’ve been to in all of SF! Friendly staff, very clean and the spa itself it very presentable and peaceful. Their pedicures are amazing. They do the classic pedicure but include paraffin, hot stone and a hot towel! Their lotion is even warm when they massage. All of this for $30! They spent over an hour on my pedicure and did not miss a single detail! They are so accommodating too with schedules. 10/10 recommended - you will not be disappointed!

I have been coming here for over a decade. All the ladies are very kind and attentive and do amazing work. Lynne gives amazing massages and has a great attention to detail. Kelly is so efficient and talented. She runs a great shop. Diane is goddess. Her gentle touch is so calming. The shop is clean and welcoming and I’ll be coming back for decades to come. Highly recommend this place.

Nobody has left my eyebrows as good as Kelly! Not only is she good at what she does, she’s also kind and always so accommodating. I no longer live in the city, but I still come to her when I’m in the area. Would not trust anyone else with my eyebrows.

I’ve been Kelly’s client for over 15 years, and when she opened Its M3 Time, I followed her without hesitation — and I’ve been coming here ever since! Kelly is simply the best. Her mani/pedis are flawless, she does my waxing too, and I always leave feeling refreshed, polished, and totally taken care of. Kelly runs the shop with such professionalism and heart. You can tell she puts so much love and pride into her work. Her team is just as amazing — friendly, talented, and always welcoming. The salon is clean, calm, and the vibe is exactly what you want when you’re treating yourself. Prices are incredibly reasonable, especially for San Francisco, and the quality is top-tier every single visit. If you’re looking for a place that’s consistent, friendly, and run by someone who genuinely cares, Its M3 Time is a total gem. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!
