Looking for a nail salon in Japan can feel difficult when you need to compare locations, services, booking methods, and design styles in another language. This official guide explains what to check before booking with Nail Salon BARON.

BARON is a women-only nail salon with five locations in Japan: Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, Machida, Hiratsuka, and Shinsaibashi. Services, prices, available appointment times, and design options may differ by location, so please check the latest information on the relevant store page before booking.

What kind of nail salon is BARON?

BARON specializes in expressive nail designs, including long nails, sculpted extensions, glitter, rhinestones, 3D elements, girly styles, Korean-inspired looks, and bold “gyaru” designs. The exact materials and techniques available depend on the store, nail condition, appointment length, and current stock.

A reference photo is helpful, but it does not guarantee an identical result. Nail size, shape, color appearance, parts, and available time can affect the final design. Our team may suggest adjustments that are suitable for your nails and appointment.

BARON’s five locations

  • Shinjuku Store – Check the store page for current access and booking information.
  • Ikebukuro Store – Review available menus and the latest reservation details.
  • Machida Store – Confirm services, location details, and current availability.
  • Hiratsuka Store – See the official store page before visiting.
  • Shinsaibashi Store – Check the Osaka store’s current booking information.

BARON does not operate a Kawasaki store. The former Hon-Atsugi location is not included in the current store list.

Information to send before your appointment

  • The store you want to visit
  • Your preferred date and time
  • Reference photos showing the full design
  • Whether you currently have gel, acrylic, tips, or other material on your nails
  • The number of extensions or repairs you may need
  • Your preferred length and shape
  • The date of an event, if the nails are for a specific occasion

Providing this information helps the store confirm whether the selected appointment menu includes enough time. Very detailed art, extra-long extensions, removal, or many parts may require a different menu or a longer appointment.

How to choose the right booking menu

If you are unsure whether to choose gel, acrylic, sculpted extensions, or tip extensions, send the store your reference image and current nail condition before booking. Menu names can vary between booking platforms, and the least expensive menu may not include the design you want.

Please confirm removal fees, extension fees, parts, art limits, and estimated appointment time using the latest store information. Prices shown in old posts or screenshots may no longer apply.

Before visiting the salon

  • Avoid making major changes to your nails immediately before the appointment.
  • Tell the store in advance if a nail is cracked, painful, swollen, discolored, or injured.
  • Allow enough time after the appointment, especially for detailed or extra-long designs.
  • Bring reference photos, but also explain which colors, shapes, or details matter most to you.

If you have pain, redness, swelling, bleeding, or a sudden change in nail color, avoid forcing a cosmetic service and seek appropriate medical advice when necessary.
