1996 Nail Studio Da Nang

A two-branch nail studio near Da Nang's beach districts

1996 Nail Studio operates two Da Nang salons: the original branch at 3 Duong Tu Quan in Ngu Hanh Son, close to the My Khe Beach hotel area, and a second branch at 91 To Hien Thanh in An Hai. Both publish the same daily opening hours of 09:00–20:00 and offer gel colour, nail extensions, overlays, refills, nail art, manicure and pedicure care. The studio accepts walk-ins when space is available, but its booking system is the more predictable option for weekends, groups or designs that need a longer appointment.

The business explicitly serves international and Korean guests. Its booking information says assistance is available in Vietnamese, English and Korean, with KakaoTalk among the contact options. This can be useful when a technical description such as builder overlay, tip extension or refill is difficult to explain on arrival. A reference image is still the clearest way to communicate shape, length, colour placement and level of detail.

Matching the service to the time available

A standard gel-polish appointment is listed at about 45 minutes, while using three or more colours takes roughly an hour. Magnetic cat-eye colour is allocated 75 minutes and a chrome finish around 90 minutes. Extensions and detailed designs vary more: glue tips are estimated at 45 minutes, gel tips at 60 minutes, gel or acrylic extensions around 90 minutes and a full acrylic set up to two hours. Hand-painted details, stones and layered effects can extend the visit.

The menu also includes gel removal, extension removal, acrylic or gel overlays, refills, filing and cuticle care, a foot-spa combination and foot exfoliation. Someone who already has product on the nails should disclose what it is when booking. Removal needs its own time and fee, and material applied by another salon may change what can be done safely in one session. Travellers leaving Da Nang the same day should allow a buffer rather than placing a complex set immediately before airport transport.

Prices, design choices and confirming the total

The published list currently places basic gel polish at 130,000 VND, multi-colour gel at 140,000 VND and standard nail art at 300,000–400,000 VND per set. Extensions, overlays and refills have separate prices, while hand painting, chrome, ombre, marble, gems and charms may be charged per nail. The studio notes that complexity can change the quote. These figures are therefore a useful starting point, not a substitute for confirming the finished design and total price.

Before work starts, agree on natural-nail preparation, extension method, finished length, shape, base colour, number of decorated nails and any removal. If a photograph contains sculpted elements, crystals or highly detailed art, ask whether the studio can reproduce it within the available appointment. The Vietnam Clinic guide to nail salons in Da Nang can help visitors compare location and service scope, but current availability and pricing must be checked with each salon directly.

Booking when you do not have a Vietnamese number

Appointments can be requested through the official online form, by calling +84 794 430 771, or through channels including Zalo, WhatsApp and KakaoTalk. The booking form asks for a branch, service, date, time and number of guests. International visitors without a local telephone number can leave an email address; the studio says it will use email if the chosen slot needs to be discussed. A submitted request is shown as received and then confirmed, so travellers should check for the confirmation rather than assume every requested time is immediately secured.

The two branches share the main contact number and publish the same 09:00–20:00 schedule. The Ngu Hanh Son address may be more convenient from the My Khe and An Thuong accommodation areas, while the An Hai branch is north of that zone. Checking the exact map destination matters because the profile now covers both locations. Payment information on the booking page lists cash in Vietnamese dong, bank transfer and popular e-wallets; foreign card acceptance is not stated there, so visitors should not rely on being able to pay by an overseas card without asking first.

Nail health and when a salon is not the right place

1996 Nail Studio presents gel removal as a process of reducing the top coat, softening the product and lifting it away rather than peeling it off. Regardless of technique, customers should report heat, sharp pain or skin irritation immediately. Gel and acrylic products can cause sensitivity in some people, and repeated picking or forced removal can damage the nail surface. Cuticle oil and hand cream may help with routine dryness, but they do not treat infection or an allergic reaction.

A cosmetic nail appointment should be deferred if there is redness spreading around the nail, discharge, significant swelling, an open injury, unexplained nail separation or suspected fungal disease. Those concerns require a qualified healthcare professional; they should not be covered with polish or extensions. People with diabetes, impaired circulation, reduced sensation or immune suppression may need individual clinical advice before cuticle work or foot treatment. Readers needing medical assessment can use the Da Nang dermatology clinic directory.

1996 Nail Studio is a beauty-service provider, not a healthcare facility. Its official information supports practical planning for gel, extension, art and foot-care appointments, but it does not establish that the salon diagnoses or treats medical nail conditions.
