Nail salons in Castlebar

For BIAB, builder products and structured nail treatments

Nails By Caoimhe has one of the clearest menus for clients specifically looking for BIAB rather than a general manicure. Its current booking page lists BIAB at €30, a BIAB or extension infill at €25 and hard-gel extensions at €40. Gel polish is listed separately at €20, so clients can distinguish between a strengthening or enhancement appointment and a simpler colour service before booking. The current booking profile also lists instant confirmation and appointments on Saturday and Sunday.

JAN USA Nails & Spa also separates BIAB from other nail systems. Its published menu lists BIAB/Builder Gel at €40, BIAB French Tips at €45, Shellac on natural nails at €25 and acrylic extensions with Shellac at €45. This makes the salon particularly easy to compare when the decision is between strengthening the natural nail and adding an extension.

For acrylic, gel and soft-gel extensions

Extension clients have several different systems available around Castlebar rather than one standard option. JAN USA Nails & Spa explicitly specialises in acrylic extensions, while Nails By Caoimhe lists hard-gel extensions. Vanilla Skin & Laser Clinic takes another route with soft-gel nail-tip extensions, priced at €55 with colour and €57 with nail art in its published treatment menu.

A|M Nail Aesthetics is also associated with acrylic nails, gel nail extensions, gel nails, dip powder, manicure, pedicure and nail art. There is an important practical caveat, however: current business data marks the salon as temporarily closed even though other salon listings still display services and historical opening hours. Anyone considering an appointment there should confirm its present operating status before travelling.

For Shellac and gel polish without extensions

Castlebar has several clearly documented options for clients who mainly want durable colour on natural nails. JAN USA Nails & Spa lists Shellac on natural nails at €25. Allure Hair & Beauty also lists Shellac hands at €25 and French Shellac hands at €30. Pauline Cawley Beauty Clinic publishes Shellac Polish at €35, while Demure Beauty lists a Shellac Manicure at €28.

Vanilla Skin & Laser Clinic publishes Shellac colour on fingers and toes at €35. Katey’s Health & Beauty Clinic uses the Gelish system, listing a Gelish Manicure at €30 and Gelish Toes at €30. Nails By Caoimhe lists standard gel polish at €20 and gel polish for toes at €15.

Instaglam Beauty is also publicly associated with Shellac treatments alongside its wider beauty menu. A detailed current nail price list was not confirmed, so exact cost and appointment availability are better checked directly.

For pedicures and combined hands-and-feet appointments

Vanilla Skin & Laser Clinic has a particularly detailed hands-and-feet menu. Its published treatment list includes a standard pedicure at €50, a pedicure with Shellac at €62, a deluxe pedicure with heated wrap at €57 and a combined deluxe manicure and pedicure at €93. It also offers a quick pedicure and callus-peel treatment.

Allure Hair & Beauty Castlebar publishes a standard pedicure at €45, mini pedicure at €25, pedicure with Shellac at €55 and Shellac toes at €25. These options make it possible to choose between straightforward maintenance and a fuller hands-and-feet appointment without having to request a price first.

JAN USA Nails & Spa lists a pedicure with Shellac at €50, French pedicure at €55 and pedicure with standard polish at €45. Demure Beauty lists a Shellac Pedicure at €55 and File & Polish Toes at €15. Bliss Beauty by Vik is also publicly listed for manicures and pedicures, although a detailed current nail price list was not found.

If removal of an existing product is part of the appointment

Removal rules deserve attention because they differ between businesses. JAN USA Nails & Spa publishes separate prices for acrylic removal (€15), BIAB removal (€12) and Shellac removal (€10), with an additional €5 listed for Shellac or BIAB take-off and reapplication.

Katey’s Health & Beauty Clinic states that a Gelish manicure costs €35 when removal is included. Removal of Gelish with a manicure, when the product is not reapplied the same day, is listed at €25. The clinic also explicitly states that it does not remove other brands, which is an important point for clients arriving with product applied elsewhere.

Vanilla lists Shellac removal for its own clients at €10 and soft-gel-tip removal for its own clients at €15. Allure lists Shellac removal at €10 and specifies that its €25 Shellac hands off-and-on service applies when the original Shellac was applied by Allure.

When nails are only one part of the beauty appointment

Several Castlebar businesses are better described as broad beauty clinics than dedicated nail studios. Vanilla combines nail services with facials, advanced skincare, laser treatments, massage and spa treatments. Pauline Cawley Beauty Clinic places a strong emphasis on skin, laser and advanced aesthetic treatments, with its nail menu currently limited online to File & Polish and Shellac.

Demure Beauty combines manicure, pedicure and Shellac with facials, massage, waxing, tanning and other beauty services. Bliss Beauty by Vik lists manicures and pedicures alongside makeup, threading, facials, massage, waxing, brows and lashes. Katey’s Health & Beauty Clinic combines Gelish nail care with a substantial skincare, laser, brow, lash and beauty-treatment menu.

Allure is different again because it combines hairdressing and beauty in the same Castlebar business. Its local beauty menu includes nails, facials, waxing, makeup and tanning, while the wider salon handles cutting, colouring and styling. This can be practical when hair and nails need to be arranged around the same event or appointment day.

Smaller nail businesses with less pricing information online

Ashling Dillon Beauty and Bee Beauty Castlebar are both active Castlebar beauty businesses with nail services represented in public listings, but their current online information is less detailed than the full menus published by JAN, Vanilla, Allure, Katey’s, Demure or Nails By Caoimhe. For these businesses, confirming the precise system — for example gel polish, BIAB, acrylic or another enhancement — is particularly useful before reserving time.

Bee Beauty is listed at Orchid Beauty Studio on Cavendish Lane, with current published hours of 9:00am to 4:00pm from Wednesday through Saturday. Public nail listings associate it with manicure, pedicure and gel/nail services, but a reliable detailed current treatment price list was not confirmed.

Booking outside the standard Monday-to-Friday pattern

For weekend access, Nails By Caoimhe is unusual because its current online booking profile concentrates appointments on Saturday and Sunday. JAN USA Nails & Spa also advertises Sunday opening, from 11:00am to 4:00pm, in addition to opening throughout the rest of the week.

Allure Castlebar lists Saturday opening from 8:00am to 3:30pm, while Bee Beauty lists Saturday from 9:00am to 4:00pm. Katey’s lists Saturday from 9:00am to 3:00pm and notes that early-morning and late-evening appointments may be available on request.

Published prices: where comparison is easiest

For clients who want to compare costs before contacting a salon, the most detailed publicly accessible menus in this group are available from JAN USA Nails & Spa, Vanilla Skin & Laser Clinic, Nails By Caoimhe, Allure Hair & Beauty, Katey’s Health & Beauty Clinic, Pauline Cawley Beauty Clinic and Demure Beauty.

The absence of a public price list does not mean a treatment is unavailable or necessarily more expensive. For A|M Nail Aesthetics, Instaglam Beauty, Bliss Beauty by Vik, Ashling Dillon Beauty and Bee Beauty Castlebar, direct confirmation is more important because the publicly accessible information does not provide the same level of current price detail.

Frequently asked questions about nail salons in Castlebar

Where can I book BIAB nails in Castlebar?

Nails By Caoimhe lists BIAB at €30 and JAN USA Nails & Spa lists BIAB/Builder Gel at €40. Both publish the treatment separately from standard gel polish, which makes the service easy to identify before booking.

Which Castlebar salons publish prices for nail extensions?

JAN USA Nails & Spa lists acrylic extensions with Shellac at €45. Nails By Caoimhe lists hard-gel extensions at €40. Vanilla Skin & Laser Clinic lists soft-gel nail-tip extensions with colour at €55 and with nail art at €57.

Where is Shellac available in Castlebar?

Published Shellac or gel-polish options are available from several businesses in this comparison, including JAN USA Nails & Spa, Vanilla Skin & Laser Clinic, Pauline Cawley Beauty Clinic, Demure Beauty, Allure Hair & Beauty, Katey’s Health & Beauty Clinic, Nails By Caoimhe and Instaglam Beauty. The exact product system and removal policy should be checked where it matters to the appointment.

Which nail salon in Castlebar is open on Sunday?

JAN USA Nails & Spa publishes Sunday hours of 11:00am to 4:00pm. Nails By Caoimhe currently lists Sunday appointments from 10:00am to 4:00pm through its booking profile.

Where can I combine a hair appointment with nail treatments?

Allure Hair & Beauty Castlebar combines hairdressing with manicures, pedicures, Shellac, facials, waxing and other beauty services at its Castlebar branch.

Which salon has a detailed pedicure menu?

Vanilla Skin & Laser Clinic publishes several foot-care choices, including a standard pedicure, quick pedicure, deluxe pedicure with heated wrap, pedicure with Shellac and callus-peel treatment. JAN USA Nails & Spa, Allure Hair & Beauty and Demure Beauty also publish specific pedicure services and prices.

Are Vanilla Beauty Salon and Vanilla Skin & Laser Clinic two different Castlebar salons?

The two directory entries point to the same Castlebar operation. They use the same Cavendish Lane location, telephone number and website, while the business currently presents itself publicly as Vanilla Skin & Laser Clinic.

Is A|M Nail Aesthetics currently open?

Public sources are inconsistent. Nail-service listings continue to show the Castlebar salon and its treatment range, while current business data marks the location as temporarily closed. Its operating status should therefore be confirmed directly before planning a visit.

What matters most before choosing an appointment?

The useful distinction in Castlebar is not simply between one salon and another, but between the treatment systems and appointment formats they provide. A client seeking BIAB has clearly documented options at Nails By Caoimhe and JAN USA Nails & Spa; someone wanting acrylics can look at JAN, while hard-gel and soft-gel extensions are documented elsewhere. Clients wanting nails together with hair, skincare, waxing or other beauty services have a different set of options again.

Before booking, the most relevant details to confirm are the exact product already on the nails, whether removal is required, the desired treatment system, whether extensions or only natural-nail colour are wanted, the current price and the amount of time that needs to be reserved. Those details can materially change which Castlebar appointment fits the client’s needs.

The information in this comparison was checked against salon websites, current treatment menus, online booking systems, business profiles and the individual salon listings available through Nails Ireland.
