How we collect and check our data

NailSalonAtlas lists 96,962 nail salons in 9,596 cities and towns across 50 states and the District of Columbia. This page explains where each listing comes from and what we do to keep it accurate.

Where the listings come from

Business names, addresses, phone numbers and websites start from open geodata: the Overture Maps Foundation places dataset, which includes Foursquare OS Places and OpenStreetMap contributions. We keep nail salons and nail bars — manicures, pedicures, gel, dip and acrylic nails — including beauty salons and spas whose name or website names nail services, and nail technicians who see clients in their own studio. We remove duplicates (the same name and street in the same city) and drop businesses that are reported closed or that asked to be removed.

A city gets its own page when it has at least two nail salons; towns with a single listing appear on their state page, so no page is built around one business.

What a listing shows

97% of listings have a phone number and 45% link to the business's own website. Opening hours appear only where the business or its owner has published them. We do not show ratings or reviews, and we do not copy text from other directories.

How features are marked

Gel-X, builder gel, Russian manicure, medical pedicure, dip powder, nail art, waxing, lashes, walk-ins and services for men and kids are marked only when the salon’s own website names them — we read the site text with fixed word rules and check samples by hand; a salon without such words on its site is left unmarked rather than guessed. These marks are applied by software — name rules, wording rules run over each business's own website, and an AI model that reads that website — not written by hand. A mark from a website is kept only when the wording is found on the page, so a business without a mark may still offer the service — call to check.

Corrections from owners

Owners can correct their listing for free — new hours, a changed phone number, a moved address, services they offer. Corrections are applied and the listing is marked "Updated by the owner" with the month. Owners can also ask for a listing to be removed, and the removal is permanent. Write to [email protected].

How lists are ordered

From November 1, 2026, each city's Top 10 is held by verified partners — businesses that confirmed their details with us and show our Verified Partner badge on their website. Verification is free for the first 12 months. Until a city has ten partners, the remaining spots follow how complete a listing is — website, phone, hours, services — and whether the owner has checked it. The rest of each city page is ordered the same way. How to become a partner.

How often it is updated

The directory is rebuilt from the current data every night, so owner corrections usually appear within a day. The underlying geodata is refreshed from new Overture releases.
