How To Use This

Book the right service, then compare the price.

Classic vs structured

A classic gel manicure is not the same thing as builder gel, hard gel, Gel-X, or a Russian manicure. Make that distinction first.

Compare manicure types

Pedicure upgrades

Pedicure menus often jump because of gel polish, callus care, paraffin, longer massage time, or smart pedicure add-ons.

Removal fees

If you are arriving with someone else's product still on the nail, assume removal needs to be discussed before you count on the headline price.

Compare gel vs dip

Next Step

Now match the price to the right salon.

Use the salon shortlist if you already know your service, or compare service types if you are still deciding between gel, dip, Gel-X, builder gel, or Russian manicure.
