What is Nail Salon?
Nail Salon is a styling simulation game developed by Playable Factory, published in 2025. You operate an active beauty station, completing custom grooming requests for visitors who stop by for hand and foot care. The central routine involves cleansing skin, clipping nails, brushing on vibrant polishes, and affixing decorative gems and decals. Direct hands-on treatments and creative cosmetic choices make each customer appointment distinct. The entire experience runs directly in a web browser without requiring downloads or account setup.

Tips and strategy
Achieving satisfied salon visitors requires paying attention to each client brief and working systematically through every treatment phase.
- Follow client prompts: Check the specific styling wishes shown on screen so your finished manicure matches customer preferences.

- Coordinate polish shades: Pair complementary enamel tones across nails for a harmonious cosmetic appearance.
