Love both crisp black French tips and playful graphic patterns? If you are in Tokyo and looking for a nail appointment in Ikebukuro, MIU’s official BARON profile is a useful place to start. French tips, zebra and leopard designs are among the published specialities, alongside an emphasis on consultation. These three featured examples offer different ways to discuss lines and colour at BARON Ikebukuro, where every seat is in a private room.

White tips on one hand, mint stripes on the other

White tips with gold dots paired with mint and black horizontal stripes
Example featured in MIU’s official BARON Ikebukuro profile.

One hand pairs white tips with gold-coloured dots; the other uses black horizontal bands over mint. The combination makes room for two moods: a clean area of colour and a repeated graphic pattern. It is a reference worth saving if you like each hand to have its own character.

MIU’s profile also mentions enjoying line work. Rather than asking only for “patterned nails,” point out what attracts you: the dark bands, the mint colour, or the contrast with the plain white tips.

A sharp black outline—or a softer colour with accents

Black square French tips around a nude-toned base
A French-tip example featured in MIU’s official profile.

The black French design leaves a generous nude-toned area and follows the square edge with a dark outline. Compared with the mixed patterns above, this is a way to make the silhouette itself the focus.

Pale mint nails with black dots and curved silver-coloured decorations
Another example featured alongside colour-consultation information in MIU’s profile.

A third example combines pale mint with black dots and curved silver-coloured decorations. MIU also describes a willingness to discuss creating colours. Bring a reference for the shade and brightness you like; this is an invitation to discuss options, not a promise of an exact colour match.
