The best nail salons in Boise

A shortlist of the Boise salons that come up again and again in public reviews and local coverage — what each is known for, and where it sits on the map.

The researched shortlist

Black-owned nail salons in Boise

We haven't yet verified a Black-owned nail salon in Boise to our standard — an explicit statement from the salon, local press, or a Black-owned business directory. If you know one we should list, tell us and we'll add it.

How to choose between them

A list gets you candidates, not a decision. The fastest way to narrow it: pick the service first, because the best custom-art studio and the best fast-gel shop are rarely the same business. Then check the salon's own photos for consistency across all ten nails, and ask how they remove a set — the full method is in our guide to finding a salon.

What you should expect to pay

Before you book, know the going rate so an upcharge doesn't surprise you at the register. Our Boise price guide lists 2026 ranges for gel manicures, Russian manicures, extensions, pedicures and art — plus what moves the price across the metro.

Where these salons sit on the map

Boise isn't one nail market, and neighborhood usually predicts both specialty and price. The Boise neighborhood guide breaks the city into pockets with $–$$$ signals, and the city overview ties it together.
