A nail appointment in Hiratsuka starts with finding the right branch and leaving enough room in your day for the design you want. If you are visiting BARON for long nails, a sparkling gyaru set or gel on your natural nails, this English guide helps you prepare your route, photos and booking request before you arrive.
BARON Hiratsuka is a women-only nail salon. Look for 平塚店 on the Hiratsuka Hot Pepper Beauty booking page, and save your confirmation with the date and time.
Save the Hiratsuka address before setting out
The salon is on the first floor at 6-9 Takaramachi, Hiratsuka, Kanagawa. Save this Japanese address for your map or to show when asking for directions: 神奈川県平塚市宝町6-9・1階.
The branch’s Hot Pepper Beauty listing describes it as a two-minute walk from Hiratsuka Station’s North Exit (北口). Its directions say to head right after leaving the North Exit, turn right at the Seven-Eleven corner, and look for a brick building on the right. Check the official Hiratsuka store map alongside those directions. The walking estimate is a guide, so allow time to find the entrance.
Keep the address, booking confirmation and salon contact details together on your phone. If you lose your way or expect to arrive late, contact the store using the details on its official page. Confirm your appointment time directly; do not plan your visit around an assumed opening time.
Plan the appointment around your day
If you have a train, dinner reservation or event afterward, tell the salon the time you need to leave before selecting a slot. Adding length, removing an existing set and creating detailed art can affect the appointment. A number such as “90 minutes” in a menu name should not be treated as a guaranteed door-to-door visit length.
Prepare a small album with your reference design, a top view of your current nails and a side view. Save the images locally so you can show them easily. Choose one main design rather than several unrelated sets, then mark what matters most: the length, shape, color or decorations. For custom 3D details or intricate artwork, ask about preparation before booking.
Choose a long or gyaru design you can enjoy wearing
The set above combines very long tapered tips, reflective blue and silver areas, and raised gold-tone decorations. You can use a reference like this to explain the mood you love without committing to every detail. For example, ask about keeping the blue sparkle with less length, or making one decorated nail the focus.
Think about handling luggage, fastening clothes and using your phone. If this is your first long set, describe what you normally do with your hands and ask about a comfortable length. Show where you would like raised pieces and where a flatter finish matters. The salon can discuss the design in relation to your nails, the available parts and the appointment you book.
Explain whether you need extra length
BARON mainly uses full-cover tips for length extensions. The Japanese word スカルプ on a menu does not guarantee liquid-and-powder acrylic. If you need a particular material, ask the store to confirm the method before booking.
- 長さ出し10本: adding length to all ten nails.
- 自爪にジェル: gel on your natural nails without added length.
- 持ち込みデザイン: a design based on a reference you bring or send.
Send your desired length as well as the artwork. A close-up of decorations alone may not show how long you want the finished nails to be.
Tell the store about anything already on your nails
If you have gel, acrylic or extensions from another salon, mention them in your first enquiry. Give the material if you know it; otherwise write “material unknown” and attach clear photos. Include any thick decorations or large stones.
Ask whether the store can work with your current set, whether removal is necessary and which booking option to choose. A refill, removal-only service or removal of another salon’s product must be confirmed individually. Photos can help the discussion but may not identify the material. Confirm any extra cost and time before committing to a slot.

Some BARON staff speak English, but English-speaking staff are not guaranteed at every branch or on every shift. Ask about your appointment and keep your written request available. A consultation message alone does not confirm a reservation.
Once the details are agreed, use BARON Hiratsuka’s current booking menu to check availability. Review the date, branch, removal option and total, including extensions, art and any extra parts. Keep the confirmed details with your saved North Exit route so you can arrive ready to enjoy your appointment.

To discuss your visit, message BARON’s official Instagram account or contact us on official LINE with your reference images, chosen branch, preferred dates and current nail photos. An enquiry alone does not confirm an appointment.
