Much like at restaurants and hair salons, the industry standard for tipping at the nail salon ranges around 15 to 20 percent, and it is generally recommended that if you've received extra services or specialty designs, a minimum of 20 percent is appreciated.

A 10% to 20% gratuity is standard at nail salons, but it's acceptable to leave more or less depending on factors like your budget and the service you receive.

On average, a basic manicure costs around $20, while more specialized or deluxe treatments can range from $20 to $50 or more. Additional services, nail enhancements, and spa facilities may also influence the overall cost of a manicure.

Cost Breakdown by Type: Basic manicure with regular polish: $10 – $35. Gel polish add-on: Additional $15 – $30. Full set of acrylic nails: $25 – $60+
