The best nail salons in Colorado Springs

A shortlist of the Colorado Springs 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.

Nail work representative of Colorado Springs salons — Where to start in Colorado Springs — then use the checks below to pick.

The researched shortlist

How this list was built — and its limits. These salons were compiled in July 2026 from public reviews, booking-platform listings and local coverage. We have not personally visited every one, and salons change hands, techs move, and menus change — so treat this as a researched starting point, not a guarantee. Always confirm current hours and prices before booking, and run the five-minute sanitation check when you arrive. Nobody paid to be on this list; the only paid position on this site is one clearly labeled featured placement per city.

Black-owned nail salons in Colorado Springs

We haven't yet verified a Black-owned nail salon in Colorado Springs 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 we verify this. A salon appears here only when a credible source explicitly identifies it as Black-owned — the business's own website or social account, local press, or an established Black-owned business directory. We never infer ownership from an owner's name, a salon's name, a neighborhood or a clientele. If we're missing your salon, or something here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it: thenailguideco@gmail.com.

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 Colorado Springs 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

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