Nail Salons in Vancouver
Vancouver has nail salons across every neighbourhood — from quick-service studios to full-service salons offering gel, acrylic, nail art, and spa pedicures. The right salon depends on what you're booking and how much detail you want.
Most Vancouver nail salons offer classic manicures, gel manicures, pedicures, and gel pedicures. Some also do nail extensions, nail art, and builder gel services.
Manicures in Vancouver
A classic manicure in Vancouver usually runs $40 to $70. It typically includes nail shaping, cuticle care, and polish. Gel manicures — which last two to three weeks — are often $60 to $100. Nail art and specialty finishes cost extra.
Pedicures in Vancouver
A standard pedicure in Vancouver is usually $55 to $95. Spa pedicures with longer soak times, scrubs, and massage add-ons cost more. Gel pedicure options are also available at most salons.
Gel Nails vs. Classic Polish
Gel nails are cured under UV or LED light and tend to last two to three weeks without chipping. Classic polish lasts about one week for most people. Gel is a good option for events, travel, or clients who want longer wear. Removal should always be done carefully to protect the nail.
Nail Care in Vancouver
Nail care services focus on nail health — shaping, cuticle care, and strengthening — without necessarily adding polish or colour. It's a good option for clients building natural nail length or recovering from gel or acrylic use.

What hygiene standards should I expect at a nail salon?
