How much is a gel manicure or a full set in Tallahassee?

At Palace Nail Spa in Midtown Tallahassee, gel manicures start around $40 (classic manicure plus gel), an Apres Gel-X full set starts at $60, and Builder Gel (BIAB) starts at $60. Prices start at the listed amount and vary with length and design. Paying with cash always gets you our best price on every service. Our menu shows cash prices, card prices for debit and credit run 3% higher to cover the card networks' processing cost, and both prices are shown for every service.

Do you offer dip powder (SNS) nails?

Yes. Dip powder starts at $50, dip pink and white starts at $55, and tips can be added for $5. Dip gives long-lasting color with extra strength and no UV light needed for the color step.

Yes, all three. French tips run $5 to $15 as an add-on, and chrome, cat-eye, and hand-painted designs are priced by design level. Bring an inspiration photo and we will confirm the price before we begin.

Do you remove Gel-X, acrylics, or dip, and what does removal cost?

Yes. Gel removal is $10, and acrylic or dip removal is $15, done gently with proper soaking rather than prying. If you are starting a new set with us the same visit, let us know when you book so we set aside the right amount of time.

Do you offer manicures and pedicures for kids?

Yes. Our Princess services are gentle mani-pedis made for kids: a Princess manicure starts at $20 and a Princess pedicure at $30, with polish changes available too. It is a sweet first salon experience, and parents are welcome to sit alongside.

Do you sell gift cards?

Yes. Palace gift cards are available in the salon and make an easy gift for birthdays, graduations, and thank-yous. Ask at the front desk and we can have one ready in about a minute.

Is there parking at Palace Nail Spa?

What should I expect on my first visit?

On your first visit to Palace, you'll choose your service, we'll talk through shape, length, and design, and our nail artists will create it in a clean, calm space. Walk-ins are welcome, or call (850) 727-8166.

Do you serve complimentary drinks?

Yes. Every service comes with a complimentary drink. We keep water, lemonade, orange juice, and soft drinks on hand, plus a few house recipes we save just for guests in the chair. Ask your nail artist what's on the menu today.

How do I choose between Gel-X, Builder Gel, and dip?

Choose Gel-X for instant length and a smooth base for nail art. Choose Builder Gel for strength over your natural nails with a low-maintenance finish. Choose dip for durable color with a lighter, classic feel. We'll help you choose based on your nail condition, lifestyle, and design goal.

What if I have gel sensitivity or allergies?

Every service here starts with the same setup: single-use files and buffers, fresh pedicure liners, and metal implements cleaned and disinfected between guests. If you're pregnant or have sensitivities, tell us when you book or when you arrive. We'll walk you through what's in the products we'd use and adjust the service to keep you comfortable. For medical questions, your healthcare provider is always the right first call.

How often should I rebook?

Most Gel-X and Builder Gel guests at Palace rebook every 2 to 4 weeks, depending on growth, length, lifestyle, and lifting. Pedicures are usually maintained about every 4 weeks. Rebooking before you leave helps us keep your nails balanced and looking their best.

Which pedicure should I choose at Palace Nail Spa?

A fair shortcut: choose the Classic when you need clean and quick, the Palace Pedicure (our guest favorite) for your regular ritual, and the Royal, 24K, or Diamond VIP when the visit is the occasion. Every tier ends with your choice of polish, and our team will help you pick when you arrive.

What is included in the Diamond VIP Luxury Pedicure?

The Diamond VIP is everything we do in one 70 minute chair: warm collagen gloves with a hand massage, rose petals, a steam treatment, a sugar scrub and mask, three hot towel wraps, hot stones, an orange slice massage, a warm oil candle massage, and collagen socks to finish. It starts at $93 as a cash price.

How long does a pedicure take?

About 30 minutes for a Classic and up to 70 minutes for the Diamond VIP Luxury Pedicure, with the tiers in between running 35 to 60 minutes. Add-ons, custom art, and how long you would like to relax can add time, and we will never rush you out of the chair.

Do you offer manicures and pedicures for men?

Yes. Everyone is welcome at Palace. Men are always welcome for clean, classic manicures, pedicures, and grooming in a calm Midtown setting.

Choosing a nail salon

What is the best nail salon in Tallahassee?

The best nail salon in Tallahassee depends on what matters most to you. Before you book anywhere, we suggest checking five things: recent Google reviews, photos of real work by the salon's own artists, clear pricing and timing, visible hygiene practices like single-use files and fresh pedicure liners, and hours that fit your schedule. At Palace Nail Spa in Midtown, you can read our Google reviews, browse real sets from our artists in the gallery, and see every price on our menu before you visit. We are open evenings and Sundays, and we would rather earn the word best than claim it.

How do I choose a nail salon near me?

Start with a quick look at Google Maps for a nail salon near you, then compare three things: the newest reviews, real photos of recent sets, and whether prices are published. A good salon shows its work and its prices before you ever walk in. If you are searching from Midtown, downtown, or near the Capitol, FSU, or Lake Ella, Palace Nail Spa is minutes away at 421 E Tennessee St, with on-site parking, published pricing, and a gallery of sets made in our own chairs.

What should I look for in a nail spa near me?

A nail spa should feel calm and careful, not rushed. Look for a space that is genuinely clean, tools that are disinfected between guests, single-use files and liners, artists who take their time, and a menu that tells you the price and the length of each service before you book. Palace Nail Spa was built in Midtown Tallahassee around exactly that list, from the pedicure chairs to the color wall, and walk-ins are always welcome.

Comfort & care

Care for sensitive guests

Some things never change here: single-use files and buffers, fresh pedicure liners, and metal implements cleaned and disinfected between guests. If you're pregnant or have sensitivities, tell us when you book or when you arrive. We'll walk you through what's in the products we'd use and adjust the service to keep you comfortable. For medical questions, your healthcare provider is always the right first call.
