Spokane's insider guide to exceptional nails.

Spokane is the inland Northwest's biggest nail market, and it splits between a walkable downtown boutique scene and the high-volume value salons strung along the Division and Newport highway corridors. The trendy redeveloped Kendall Yards riverfront brings the upscale end; Spokane Valley out east holds the budget walk-ins.
