Most of the salons on this list sit on the west side of St. Paul, around Grand Avenue, St. Clair Avenue, Snelling Avenue and Cleveland Avenue. You can find quick walk-in style manicure shops, a full-service spa with organic nail care, and a few small studios that work by appointment. Check each salon's hours before you go, since several close on weekends or keep short days.
We checked each salon on its own website or booking page in October 2026. You will find the address, phone, posted hours, main services and a booking link for every pick, so you can compare and book in a few minutes.
