How we score

Rating is the live Google average for each salon. Review volume measures how many customers have actually left a review, ranked against the others on this page. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, since over a thousand reviews at 4.9 carries more weight than a few hundred at the same score. Recency checks how recently people are still reviewing. No salon can pay to change any of these numbers.

How much does a manicure or pedicure cost in Abu Dhabi? (2026)

Review highlights across these salons mention prices ranging from AED 50 to AED 300 depending on the service, with hair-focused treatments like BB cream running higher. Ask the salon directly for a current menu, since pricing depends heavily on the specific service and any add-ons.

Serving all of Abu Dhabi

These salons are spread across the city, from Al Khalidiya and Al Wahda Mall to Karamah Street, Al Nahyan, and the airport road corridor near Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank.

What to ask before you book a nail salon

What’s the price for the specific service I want, including any polish removal or add-ons?
Do you sanitize tools between clients, and how is that handled?
How long does the appointment typically take?
Can I book a specific technician if I’ve had a good experience with them before?
Do you offer combined packages, like nails with a facial or hair treatment?
What’s your policy if I’m not happy with the result?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these nail salons?

We pulled real Google Business data for nail salons across Abu Dhabi and ranked them using rating, review volume, and how recently customers have been reviewing.

How often is this updated?

This page was verified in July 2026 using live Google data. We refresh it periodically as ratings and review counts change.

Do these salons offer other beauty services besides nails?

Most do. 306 Spa and La Poupee Beauty Center both combine nail services with hair and skin treatments, and several others on this list add facials, waxing, or brows to their core nail menu.

Can I walk in without an appointment?

Some salons on this list, including Nails Rituals Kiosk, mention accommodating walk-ins based on availability, but booking ahead is generally the safer bet.

The bottom line

nails the modern manicure studio is the safe default here, with the most reviews on this page and two decades of history behind it. If you want speed over a full spa experience, Nails Rituals Kiosk’s express concept inside Al Wahda Mall is worth a look instead.
