Nail salons across Hong Kong

Hong Kong's nail trade is a small-studio business. The venues that top the category are mostly compact rooms on the upper floors of commercial buildings, run by one or two technicians, and their numbers are strong: among the more than 100 venues currently listed on Glow360, 130 carry a rating, the average is 4.6 stars, and 97 score 4.5 or above.

Review counts give the clearer picture. Lisa Nail's branch at The LOHAS Mall has kept a 5.0 average over 400 reviews, the largest count in the category here. Nu Atelier Nail and Beauty in Central follows at 289, also on a perfect score, and a further group of studios in Central, Kwun Tong and Tsim Sha Tsui hold 5.0 averages across 78 to 89 reviews each. High star ratings are common in this category; high ratings sustained over hundreds of reviews are much rarer, which is why the review count deserves as much attention as the stars.

On the service side, menus range from long-wear systems such as Dip Powder Nails to novelties like Fish Pedicure. Many of the top venues operate from upstairs units, so checking the exact address, building name and floor before heading out saves a wasted trip; several of the best-reviewed rooms share a single commercial building on Stanley Street.

Browsing works best at city level, where listings can be filtered by district. Start from Hong Kong to see the full set, with each venue's rating, review count and menu side by side.
