Ho Chi Minh City has everything from multi-branch nail and spa groups to appointment-only art studios. The best fit depends on whether you want simple grooming, gel removal, extensions, detailed custom art, a late appointment or several services at one address. A beautiful portfolio is helpful, but hygiene and removal technique matter just as much.
These ten salons maintain official websites with current evidence of nail services and a city presence. Confirm the branch, artist, design, timing and price before booking, particularly for complex art. Do not proceed over infected, inflamed or injured skin.
How we compared nail salons
We reviewed official service pages, portfolios, booking details and Ho Chi Minh City locations. We included both full-service salons and focused art studios so readers can compare convenience with specialisation. We did not treat social-media popularity as a hygiene audit or guarantee of durability.
Ask how metal tools are cleaned and sterilised, whether files and buffers are single-use, and how gel or extensions will be removed. Confirm the base price, art and removal surcharges, appointment length and repair policy before treatment starts.
10 nail salons compared
Fame Nails
Fame Nails presents classic and spa manicures, pedicures, gel and nail art with published starting prices on its official website. The menu is useful for basic comparison, but custom designs need a photo quote and realistic timing. Ask whether the selected branch can reproduce the design, which gel or extension system is used, how tools are processed, whether files are single-use, and what removal, reinforcement, art, repair and service charges add to the base price.
Jeng Nails
Jeng Nails is a central salon with manicure, pedicure, gel, extensions and art presented on its official website. It may suit visitors who want a focused nail appointment in District 1. Send reference images ahead and confirm artist availability, length, shape, materials and time.

SaSa Nails
SaSa combines a working salon with a nail academy and lists art, gel, powder and foot-care services on its official website. Training activity can support a broad technique range, but confirm who will provide your paid service and their experience with the requested design. Ask about sterilisation, single-use items, product brands, allergy precautions, appointment length, art complexity, removal method, full price and whether a damaged nail should be referred for medical assessment.
Blush and Beige
Blush and Beige presents nail and beauty services through its official website, with a design-led salon identity that may suit clients combining several treatments. Confirm the current Ho Chi Minh City location and whether the desired nail artist is available.

Zeni Nail Spa is a District 1 provider offering manicure, pedicure, gel, art and complementary spa services on its official website. Its central location and broad menu can suit travellers with limited time.

FUDI Nail Cottage
FUDI is a small District 3 studio specialising in custom nail art and made-to-order sets, with English contact information on its official site. It is a strong fit for clients prioritising distinctive artwork over a quick walk-in manicure.

Renai Nails
Renai publishes current manicure and detailed art work on its official website, making it useful for clients who want a design-focused appointment. Availability may depend on the individual artist and complexity. Send clear reference images, state existing product that needs removal and confirm the final length, material, time and price.

Confirm art, extension, soak-off and repair charges in addition to the displayed base service.
Mina Nails
Mina Nails presents manicure, pedicure, gel and decorative services with branch information on its official website. The portfolio can help choose a style, but confirm that the same service and technician are available at the selected location. Ask for the complete price and duration, including old-product removal, reinforcement, extensions and art, and check sterilisation of reusable tools, single-use files, foot-basin cleaning and the approach to cuts, inflammation or suspected nail infection.
What to check before a nail appointment
Send a reference image and ask for a realistic price and duration, including removal. Detailed designs may require a particular artist and a deposit. If you have thin or damaged nails, discuss a gentler service and avoid forceful scraping or peeling of gel.
Reusable metal tools should be properly cleaned and sterilised; porous files and buffers should not move between clients unless an appropriate validated process is used. Postpone treatment when there is redness, swelling, drainage, a painful split or suspected fungal infection, and seek healthcare advice when needed.
Lisa Nail and Spa operates several city branches and publishes an English nail salon guide covering manicure, pedicure, gel and art services. Multiple locations and extended hours at selected branches can be convenient, but pricing differs by salon. Confirm the exact branch, service and artist, ask how tools and foot basins are sanitised, and request the total including soak-off, extensions, detailed art, repairs or late-hour surcharges before the appointment begins.
