Getting a manicure in Hong Kong usually means picking between a dozen salons crammed into the same office tower, and the difference between a great one and a rushed one shows up in the details, cuticle work, tool sanitation, how long the gel actually lasts. The salons on this page have logged just over 3,200 Google reviews between them, and every one sits at 4.7 stars or higher, with barely two-tenths of a point separating the top and bottom.
Short answer: Annie Nail Salon in Central leads with 4.9 stars across 1,053 reviews, offering nails, eyebrow, and lash services in one visit. Close behind is The One Elite Nail & Spa Lounge in Tsim Sha Tsui at 4.9 from 909 reviews, and Nu Nail and Beauty, also 4.9, from 512 reviews. Several reviewers specifically praise Russian manicure technique across multiple salons here.

Claim this spot › How we score
Rating is the live Google average. Review volume measures how many customers actually left a review, ranked against every other manicure salon we looked at in Hong Kong. Confidence blends rating with volume, since a 4.9 from 300 reviews carries different weight than a 4.9 from over 1,000. Recency checks how recently people are still reviewing, and completeness checks for a working site, phone number, and posted hours. No business can pay to change any of these numbers.
How much does a manicure cost in Hong Kong? (2026)
Reviewers on this page mention a handful of real prices for context, though these reflect specific services at specific salons rather than a full published rate card, so treat them as reference points, not a quote. One Nu Nail and Beauty client mentioned paying around HK$700 to 800 for detailed nail designs, and a Lisa Nail client mentioned a similar HK$600 to 700 range for a manicure and pedicure combination.
| Job | Typical price |
|---|
| Nail design manicure (Nu Nail and Beauty, per a reviewer) | HK$700-800 |
| Manicure and pedicure combo (Lisa Nail, per a reviewer) | HK$600-700 |
Figures cited directly from customer reviews on Google, verified July 2026. These are individual client-reported prices, not official published rate cards, and current pricing may differ.

What to ask before you book a manicure
- Are your tools individually sterilized and sealed per client?
- Do you charge extra for nail art, extensions, or a specific gel brand?
- How long should gel or Russian manicure work last before a fill or removal?
- Do you offer a repair guarantee if something chips within a few days?
- Can I book by WhatsApp if I don’t speak Cantonese?
- Is a deposit required to hold my appointment?
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 salons?
We looked at every manicure-focused salon in Hong Kong with a real, active Google presence and ranked by rating, review volume, and how recently people are still reviewing.
How often is this updated?
We last verified this data in July 2026 and refresh it periodically as new reviews come in.
What’s a Russian manicure?
Several reviewers on this page specifically praise the technique at Ooh La La Nails and The One Elite, describing precise cuticle work and a pointed or sculpted nail shape as its hallmark.
Do I need to book ahead?
Reviewers mention both easy walk-ins and same-day WhatsApp bookings, though weekend slots at the more popular salons here fill up faster.
The bottom line
Annie Nail Salon is the safe default given its size and the range of named staff getting individually praised across different services. If Russian manicure technique specifically is what you’re after, Ooh La La Nails’ reviews are the most detailed on that exact point. Whichever you choose, ask about tool sterilization and confirm any nail art add-on pricing before you sit down, that’s the detail reviewers most often wished they’d checked first.
