The Little Nail Shop is a neighborhood nail salon tucked along Sir Francis Drake Boulevard in San Anselmo, known for straightforward, attentive service and a calm, welcoming atmosphere. It’s the kind of local spot where regulars come back time and again for mani-pedis without fuss but with care.

The interior feels comfortable rather than flashy, with massage chairs that invite a moment of relaxation while you get your pedicure done. The team’s approach is efficient but detail-oriented, leaning into precision whether you’re after gel, dip powder, or a classic polish. This makes it an easy choice for those who appreciate skillful work over trend-chasing.

Visitors can expect a friendly atmosphere, highlighted by welcoming staff who seem to genuinely enjoy their craft. There’s a sense of community here—you may find small unexpected touches like shared homemade treats, which reflect a casual warmth not often found in larger salons.

This salon fits seamlessly into the quieter, small-town vibe of San Anselmo, appealing mostly to locals looking for reliable, reasonably priced nail care. It’s a practical stop for anyone who values good workmanship alongside a relaxed, unpretentious setting.

The best time to visit appears to be weekdays or early afternoons, when the environment is calm but the staff are still buzzing with energy. Whether you need a quick touch-up or a full pampering session, The Little Nail Shop offers a straightforward, pleasant experience without the hassle — perfect for getting your nails done while enjoying a slower pace in Marin County.

I absolutely LOVED my experience here! The ladies were so welcoming and my nails came out fabulous. AND just to add on to the experience, they also offered me a plate of their home cooked Vietnamese food when I mentioned I was hungry! As a foodie, I was in awe. If you’re looking for the perfect hometown nail spot, this one’s for you! I will certainly be back.

Amazing ladies!! I have come here 5 times already and I’m never disappointed. I have done dip, gel and pedicure here and all of the technicians are equally great.

Sally is great! So is Thou. I recommend sally for gel nails. She’s detailed and I can tell a perfectionist, which is especially nice when you are particular about the way you like your nails. Every time I’ve gotten my nails done here they last up to three weeks at a time! The customer service at the little nail shop is super friendly and all the ladies are accommodating.
