Long nude square nails with black dots, pearls, and rhinestones by BARON
For this look, point out the square shape, nude base, black dots, or pearl details when sending your reference.
Pointed white French nails with raised flowers and rhinestones by BARON
For a detailed design, ask about the art, decorative pieces, and time needed before choosing a menu.

These are BARON design examples. They show style possibilities, not a fixed-price package or a promise that every detail is available at every appointment. Send a saved image, your preferred shape and length, and the details that matter most. Colours, decorative pieces, and the final layout may need adjustments.

Want extensions? Check the technique first

BARON mainly uses full-cover tip extensions for added length. A pre-shaped tip covers the natural nail and becomes the base for your finished design. Japanese menu labels such as “sculpt” or “tip sculpt” do not automatically mean acrylic extensions. Ask the store which method is suitable for your nails and reference design.

If you already have gel, acrylic, or extensions from another salon, include a clear photo and the product type if you know it. Ask whether removal is needed and what it adds to the price and appointment time. If you want an acrylic service or a refill, ask whether that specific service is available before choosing a menu.

How to request an appointment

  1. Open your chosen store’s official page above.
  2. Use its LINE design-consultation link to send your reference photos and written request. Include the store name in your message.
  3. Ask which menu to book, the estimated total, and the time needed. The store pages also link to Hot Pepper Beauty for bookings.
  4. Confirm your store, date, start time, menu, and any remaining questions. Sending an enquiry alone does not confirm an appointment.

If you use a translation app, keep each sentence short and check the date, time, shape, length, and price carefully.

What to confirm about the price

Ask what your selected course includes and whether your request adds removal, extra length, repairs, detailed art, or decorative pieces. Confirm whether the estimate includes tax. The current store menu and your design consultation are the starting points; a gallery photo does not show the final price of your own set.

Before you arrive

Save your confirmed store address and appointment details. Keep your reference images on your phone, and leave enough time before your next travel plan. Ask the store how to care for your set and when to arrange professional removal or maintenance, especially if you will leave Japan soon.

Ready to plan your set? Choose Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, or Shinsaibashi, then send your favourite design and appointment request through the store page.
