Last-Minute Nail Plans in Tokyo
Your schedule changed and suddenly you have time for nails. Or maybe you just decided you want a manicure before tonight’s dinner. Here’s how to make it happen.
Step-by-Step: Getting Same-Day Nails
Step 1: Act Fast
Contact salons as early in the day as possible. Morning requests have better success rates than afternoon ones.
Step 2: Be Flexible
- Offer 2-3 time windows
- Be open to different nail technicians
- Consider simpler designs that take less time
Step 3: Use Instagram DM
Faster than calling (especially with language barriers). Most salons check DMs frequently.
Best Times for Same-Day Availability
- Weekday mornings (10-12 AM): Best chances
- Weekday afternoons: Good chances
- Weekend mornings: Possible but limited
- Weekend afternoons/evenings: Very difficult
Quick Design Options
If time is tight, these designs can be done faster:
- One-color gel (60-75 min)
- Simple magnetic nails (75-90 min)
- Clear nuance design (60-75 min)
