5 Tips for Choosing a Nail Salon in Shinjuku
1. Check Instagram First
Japanese salons showcase their best work on Instagram. Look for designs that match your style and save posts to show your nail technician.
2. Look for English-Friendly Service
Not all salons can communicate in English. Look for salons that mention international visitors or respond to English DMs.
3. Understand the Price Structure
Japanese nail prices typically include consultation, nail prep, and basic design. Budget ¥5,000-10,000 for quality work.
4. Book in Advance
Walk-ins are rare in Japan. Reserve at least 2-3 days ahead, especially for weekends.
5. Communicate with Photos
Even without Japanese, you can communicate perfectly by showing reference images.
