Nail Salons in the United States — the numbers
We maintain 96,962 nail salons across the country. Below is what that looks like by state: raw count, count per 100,000 residents, and how complete the listings are. Updated October 2026.
Free to use. Quote any number here, in print or online, as long as
you credit NailSalonAtlas — a link is welcome, followed or nofollow, your choice. Journalists: if you need
a cut we don't show — a single metro, a longer time range — write to
[email protected] and you'll get it the
same day. Full CSVs for this and our other categories:

Companies and associations. Need the business-level file for a
market — the full list of nail salons in a state, a metro or the whole country, with
address, phone, website, opening hours and what opened, closed or changed each month? We license it for your own marketing, site selection or research. It is built from
open map data and businesses' own websites; nothing anyone sent us in correspondence is
included. Free sample first — 200 rows or one market:
ask for a sample.
Listed here? Your listing stays free, and you can
leave your business out of data files with one e-mail.

How this is built
Locations come from Overture Maps (open data), filtered to nail salons in the US and cleaned: duplicates merged, dead entries dropped, phone numbers normalized. Websites, opening hours and amenities are checked against each business's own site. We keep monthly snapshots, so the counts above are a point in time, not a running total — ask if you need an earlier one.
