Tokyo Nail Art Bar

I came here the morning of my wedding because I had read good reviews. I was NOT disappointed. When I arrived, the girl who did my nails had me sign a form basically saying that I knew that they were not doing a full manicure and that the nails were not meant to be super long lasting. That being said, it has been a week since my wedding and I still am getting compliments on these nails almost every day. Not to mention, my nails were UGLY before I came. I mean, I had not had a manicure in a LONG time. But everyone that has commented on my nails can’t believe they are a gel manicure on my real nails. That is how good they look! They have not chipped, none of the rhinestones/​other-​cute-​things have fallen off or anything. I absolutely love them! They looked amazing for my wedding and still look great, I would highly recommend. The price is definitely worth it especially if you are in Vegas to go out & treat yourself, have an event (like me), or even want some cute nails to last a little while!

Came here with my maid of honor to get our nails done before the weekend festivities. I was a little shocked at the size of the place (tiny). Fortunately, we got there at the perfect time because the people who came after us had to wait 30 – 45 min. Despite all this, it was a pleasant experience. My nails look great and they did a real careful job. It’s been almost a week since I went and my nails still look the same as the day I got them done. The girls are very nice and I would definitely come back the next time I’m in town.

Excellent job on my nails. I came about afternoon time and there was about an hour wait. I was able to walk around the strip more and then came back and they were able to take me immediately. It was a little harder ro find because they are down one of the little alleys of shops. They won’t answer the phone either because they are constantly busy with customers.
Anyways, I absolutely LOVE them. The only thing I would say is that they are so dang expensive, but she did a very thorough job and I am obsessed with them! :)

This place does amazing designs! Its in the lil walk around plaza… If you are looking for a manicure DO NOT come here. Make sure your cuticles are ready for paint job before coming in. For the $ 50 job I thought I was getting at least the dirt out form behind my nail but NOPE theres no metal utensils at this place. All they do is push back your cuticles and start. I lasted for a week before gems started coming off.

Absolutely love this place. I discovered it about a year ago and everytime I come to Las Vegas now. I have to do my nails here. We have great places in NY but this place always has new sets of designs and much more affordable than the Japanese gel salons in NyC. Affordable but does not compromise quality.

Thought this place was absolutely amazing & LOVE my nails!!! The only thing I have to say is that it definitely takes longer than 10 – 15 minutes if you’re getting a design done. The girls in here were really friendly & you could tell they were really experienced! I would definitely return here, as it compares with Japanese nail salons in Hawaii… if only they had one closer to me!

If you love nail art and haven’t had time to get your nails done before visiting Vegas, this is definitely a great place. As others have said, they file but don’t cut — which is actually better for nail art. Cutting the nail weakens it, making it more likely to break later on. They do push back cuticles, but no trimming as others have said. I prefer this as trimming cuticles is actually bad for the fingers and opens up your nails to the possibility of infection. They also wear double masks, which if you’ve read the NYTimes article about health concerns and nail salon workers — you may be relieved as I was to see that they are trying to reduce exposure to toxicity that way.
The store is small, but neat and clean, and I definitely appreciate that they have designs for you to choose from — very convenient if you’re indecisive as I am. The prices for their sets are fairly standard for nail art — Polish $ 38, Gel $ 48. You can also customize, as I did for part of mine. Aya, who did my nails, was very patient while I was going back and forth on what I wanted. I had a wonderful experience with her. She was very neat and meticulous through the whole process.
I did end up having to come back the next day for a touch up, one of corner of the stud on one nail ended up popping up. Akari did the most professional job fixing it that I have ever experienced. Usually in my experience with other places, they’ll just take the stud out and just drop a new one in and put some top coat on it. Then by the time it’s done your one nail looks significantly thicker than the others. Akari took the stud off and sanded the top so it was even. Then she bent the stud on the cuticle stick so it would have rounded edges and not pop up this time/​adhere to the curves of the nail better, and reapplied + top coat. She also looked at my other hand and redid the same to the nail on that hand, and continuously checked to make sure that all the edges of the stud were sealed properly so the same problem wouldn’t happen again. I greatly appreciate how much attention to detail was still given even though it was just a touch up.
The only thing that I can think of that would have made the experience even better that it already was — if they used sunscreen/​SPF to protect their clients skin from the UV lamps when doing gel.

If you want nail art, this is the place! Fast, friendly, and very talented! It’s in a little stall outside Ballys. As others have said, they will file but otherwise it’s just about the polish application.
I love my super-​blingy nails, and they were kind enough to let me charge my phone while my nails were being done. It’s not cheap, but it’s great!

Stopped by for an impromptu mini-​manicure on a Saturday afternoon. Chose 1 of their templated designs (the Vegas/​Yves Saint Laurent one) but asked if they could replace the «YSL» with «LV» for Louis Vuitton, which they said was no problem — yay!
Absolutely loved how they came out! I was staring at my nails all day after!
Things to know:
— They do not do full manicures (no cuticle cutting/​trimming nor nail clipping). They just file down your nails and then apply the polish or gel and designs.
— Location is at the Grand Bazaar Shoppes outside of Bally’s (between Bally’s and the Cromwell), they are in the 2^nd to last row of shops (if going towards the Paris hotel)
— Prices were not cheap (I paid about $ 38 but tipped them like $ 5-​$ 10 as well), but given how happy I was with the results, I was ok with it (they really do great work!)
— The space is very small. When you walk in, there are 2 counters with technicians with stools in front for you to sit on. To your right and left are their templates and polishes available. There is also a small clipboard and form you fill out with what you want. You give this to the technician who is helping you and then sit and let them do their work.
— There is a TV playing music videos to keep you occupied
— They had many different templates with things like Hello Kitty, the Simpsons, M&Ms, Domokuns
— Everyone was very nice and welcoming
— They don’t have a drying machine, but they apply a fast dry topcoat so you’re almost dry when you walk out. I just sat at 1 of the booths outside the shops and waved my nails around until they dried — which probably made me look crazy but whatever!

Found this gem of a nail bar when I was desperate for new gels and a cut. Didn’t expect to see such awesome artistry. They have a huge range of designs you can have or she also free hand draws on your nails to.
Don’t expect to have full manicure. In fact they don’t even have clippers so she had to file down my talons which took a while. Didn’t push down cuticles or anything. Merely just a file and paint job. But a bloody good paint job! Be crazy and get Vegas crazy ones!

As a self proclaimed «acrylic junkie,» I tend to hate anything that looks natural when it comes to my nails. I know that I have short and stubby fingers, so I hide those as much as possible. That being said, Tokyo Nail Art Bar has made me re consider gel manicures on my natural nails, seeing as the color and design helped achieve a slimmer look to my hands and gave me tons of compliments. All I did was explain the look I wanted, and an artist worked with me to make sure I was happy with my manicure. I’d recommend TNAB to all of my friends!

Lost a couple of my bling on my nails. Went in and they fixed it for free! Outstanding customer service!

I loved Tokyo Nail Art Bar so much! I did a bit of research before going in, so I knew how the process worked. I would greatly recommend being prepared if you plan to go here. Basically, just in case you don’t already know, they don’t do full manicures here. They will shape and buff your nails, but they don’t push back and cut your cuticles, etc. So, I went in fully prepared for my nails to be painted.
The girl that did my nails was amazing. She was super quick, but also extremely attentive and detail-​oriented. I told one of my friends after, it was the most attentive gel «manicures» I’ve ever had. And it only takes 15 – 20 minutes!
So often when I have my nails done I feel like the paint job is less than satisfactory. Tokyo Nail Art Bar made sure my nails were painted to the very edges of every single nail. They made sure every one of my nails was the exact same length and shape. I even had a nail that was broken down to the quick in a very tragic airplane/​suitcase ordeal, and my nail technician worked so gently to make sure it was shaped properly before beginning to paint my nails. Plus, they can do amazing designs and add-​ons!
Looking at photos I wasn’t sure how long the designs would last. I had some pretty large rhinestones put on my accent nail. But, I still wanted to do this. There isn’t a nail art bar around where I live, and any nail salon in my area has denied any requests for anything even remotely difficult, so I was all in. Surprisingly my manicure lasted approximately two weeks. The fact that those large stones stayed on that long really shocked me. But, I was super happy they did!
I got so many compliments on my nails when I got home. Again, there isn’t a place around where I live that will really do these designs, so it was so fun to have something different. Plus, I just loved it in general. If there were a nail art bar around me I would definitely frequent it, because the service I received at Tokyo Nail Art Bar was fantastic! I highly recommend it!

Fantastic location, but service somehow made me wanting for more. I got a gel mani with one of their pre-​set designs ($ 48). While the product was decent enough, as other reviews state, they only really apply the polish as opposed to a full manicure. I had to get my pre-​existing gel mani removed, which cost $ 15 alone. I needed my nails shorter, but because they don’t have nail clippers, the technician had to file them down instead.
I love Japanese nail art and I’m stoked that TNAB provides this service on the Strip, but I’ll stick to 3 stars for now unless they can provide full mani service.

Love my new mani! I rolled into town desperate to get my nails done and wanted dark red with nail art. They have a good selection of colors and lots of designs to choose from. I got a perfect gel polish with no waiting. This was a 5 minute walk from the Cosmopolitan. Too easy. (I took one star off as you can’t choose original nail art, you must select from their designs. Plus they were a tad pricey.)

Awesome spot to get your nails done on the fly! Came here a couple of weeks ago when I was in Vegas last and needed my nails done so bad! Found this spot because of Unilocal reviews and loved it. So much so that I waited to get my Halloween nails done here to match my vampire costume tonight!
If you are looking for just a nice polish change and awesome art designs, look no further! They don’t do toes, and are a little pricey, but it’s worth it when you can just walk right up without an appointment and get great looking gel nails!

These girls were great! They did an awesome job on my nails. I absolutely love the art they did on them. The girls were very sweet and definitely take pride in their work. I had a broken nail and they were very gentle and cautious with it. I can’t tell you how many times you go to a salon with a broken nail and the techs are super rough as if they don’t care if I’m in pain. These ladies were awesome though. They did their best to make my nail look normal. Lol and honestly they did. I can barely tell which one I messed up.
I think the prices are great for gel polish with designs. You’d expect the prices to be outrageous because they’re on the strip but they’re reasonable. $ 32 for gel polish and with a design approximately $ 38. Not bad at all. No, they don’t do the whole spa manicure though. So no cuticle trimming but they do file your nails and even out the surface.
I also got fun metallic body art tattoo. Should last up to 5 days as long as you don’t put sunblock, scrub too hard or scratch it. Only $ 5 even for the big designs. I remember paying $ 15 before at a festival. They have so many choices too. So much fun! I’ll definitely be back!

On a visit to Vegas, I stopped by this store. I gazed at their impressive wall of nail designs… GORGEOUS! I only wish they had something like this in Chicago. I often do my own nails, but just can’t do nail art without any help. And I would love this spot for accent nails, or even just to fancy up any otherwise boring manicure. I love that they can accomplish texture, studs, pearls, brush strokes and artwork, and more! ugh. if only I can steal these talented girls for my own weekly manicuring purposes.
I really only came for application of some temporary metallic tattoos. i’m indecisive as anyone gets, so it took a while for me to decide what I wanted, where, in what order, and the spacing between each metallic, bangled, band. I got a 5 for $ 20 deal. I hadn’t known that my early morning, regular routine of lotion application would interfere with this. As a result, the tattoos didn’t seem to stick.
The girls at the shop worked in unison, one working on each arm. They were happy to reapply after the results weren’t up to par. On the way out, I was encouraged to come right back if it didn’t stick again. Sure enough, my tattoo rubbed right off.
I wasn’t charged for the reapplication of tattoos. They seemed to really care that I got the results I wanted, and were not fussy or negative at all. I love that they cared to stand by their work, and I would love to come by again on a return visit to Vegas.
Note: they don’t do full start-​to-​finish manicures, but will apply nail polish and art. If you’ve got a solid foundation to work with, I’d definitely try it.

I LOVE this place…
They’re doing amazing work and beautiful designs.
They have beautiful color range.
Very quick job-​in n out not like the regular nail salons that takes them an hour + for shellac Many.
I highly recommend this place

Tokyo Nail Art Bar is a sleek little salon with super cute Japanese-​inspired nail designs and henna tattoos. It is located in the Grand Bazaar Shops on the Las Vegas Strip.
My friend and I enjoyed our girl’s day getting jewel-​embellished shellac manicures here. Noriko and Aiya were both friendly and adorable. Aiya was extremely precise and meticulous in the detailed designs that we selected for our nail art, and executed the shellac technique flawlessly. Our nails turned out fabulous!
Noriko assisted in prepping the nail supplies. We also watched her do henna tattoos on some other customers who stopped in the salon for that service. There were a few different henna designs to pick from. The girls left happy with their fun new temporary tattoos.
The prices here are decent. We paid about $ 55 each for a pre-​designed shellac manicure that came with four jewel-​embellished nails.
Overall, we were both very impressed with Tokyo Nail Art Bar. We got to rock our blinged-​out nails while partying in Las Vegas for the weekend, and received many compliments and envious glances. It has been a week and so far only one jewel has fallen off my nail design. I highly recommend visiting these girls when you are in Vegas and need a manicure! :)
