Walmart Nail Salon Guide

If you’ve never thought about getting your regular manicure done at Walmart, then you may be surprised to know about what’s actually on offer, besides picking up your weekly grocery shopping. How convenient is that?

Sometimes known as the Walmart Nail Salon, Regal Nails Salon & Spa is a franchise business that was founded in Baton Rouge, LA back in 1997. In October of that same year, it opened its first franchise in Ohio in a Kmart.

Not even a month later, another franchise opened up in Walmart in Shreveport, LA, and the rest is history.

Since then, Regal Nails Salon & Spa has become the largest nail salon franchise in America, and has more than 800 franchisees, as well as locations in Puerto Rico and Canada.

The Regal Nails Salon & Spa brand has gained in popularity over the years because of its franchise commitment to offering sophistication, great quality, convenience, and affordable luxury — things you don’t always equate with Walmart.

All Regal Nails Salon & Spas offer the usual menu of manicure and pedicure options, including acrylic and gel procedures, dip powder manicures, overlays, and nail art. And it’s not just nails: they even offer other body treatments like waxing, facials, and even lash extensions!

Do you need an electric drill to do your own manicure at home? Well, you can also purchase manicure kits, as well as other nail tools at the Regal Nails Salon & Spa in your local Walmart superstore.

They also offer press-on nails and dip powder sets for you to buy, as well as quality hair dye to keep your luscious locks looking vibrant.

The franchisor’s main mission is to make quality nail and beauty treatments accessible to everyone, especially those on tight budgets, so that they can look and feel great every day.

And this is why Regal Nails Salon & Spas has gained many loyal customers that have received great service and flawless manicures over the years.

The salons themselves even provide a soothing and relaxing environment that keeps the clientele coming back for more than just the great prices.

Regal Nails Salon & Spa is considered the most trusted nail salon franchise in the United States. This means that its value-for-money service will have you wondering why you’ve never been to a Regal Nails Salon & Spa before now!


What’s The Walmart Manicure Procedure?

Opening Hours and Schedule

Because these franchises are mainly found in Walmart superstore branches, the opening hours of the salon are longer than many smaller nail salon franchises, and mom and pop salons.

They’re also open each day of the week, which provides even more convenience to its clientele.

Most Regal Nails Salon & Spa inside of Walmart branches are open from 9am to 7pm on Mondays to Fridays. During the weekend, these times change slightly to 9am to 6pm on Saturdays, and from 10am to 6pm on Sundays, which aligns with Walmart’s general operating hours.

Obviously, this is just a basic guide to the opening hours of most branches. Make sure to call your local branch beforehand, because the operating hours may be slightly different from what we’ve shown here.

Store Locations

Alternatively, you could check online for yourself at the Regal Nails Salon & Spa store locator, which will also give you the correct address of your local branch, as well as its opening hours.

Appointments

You’ll be pleased to know that no appointment is necessary before deciding on whether or not to have a manicure during your grocery shopping trip. Regal Nails Salon & Spa operates a first-come, first-served walk-in-only policy at all of its branches.

That can be quite convenient, but also a negative if everyone’s trying to get their nails done at the same time!

However, if you’re more organized than this, and work by a daily schedule, then some Regal Nails Salon & Spa have an online booking service. Others do allow you to call beforehand to schedule an appointment with one of their experienced nail technicians.

Special Nail Services

The nail technicians at Walmart’s Regal Nails Salon & Spa are highly trained professionals who can do anything from getting your nail polish color changed to removing an old acrylic manicure to lace nail art.

All of the equipment and tools that are used at Regal Nails Salon & Spas are sanitized and hygienic, ready for use for the next client. However, Regal Nails Salon & Spas also provides specialty services like:

Solar Nails

Have you ever heard of solar nails? This manicure procedure uses an acrylic formula that appears like a natural nail.

First, a white acrylic nail is applied over your nail bed to cover it. A pink nail is applied on top of this, but only on the visible nail bed. The result is natural-looking pink nails with white tips that will last for around two weeks.

The best thing about solar nails is that they don’t cause yellowing of your natural nail plate. They’re also easy to remove, because they lift off on their own after around two weeks of wear.

Bio Seaweed Gel Nails

So cool!

Bio Seaweed Gel Nails offer an all-in-one procedure in a gel manicure that can actually cure in the sun without the need for a UV or LED lamp (although you can use these to cure on a cloudy day, if you want)! It’s a one-step formula that glides on easily, and comes in a great range of colors to suit your style.

A manicure with Bio Seaweed Gel will last for around two weeks, as long as you’re not hard on your nails, and it’s easy to soak off with acetone at home.

Herbal Spa Manicure and Pedicure

Have you got dry skin on your hands and/or feet? Then getting an herbal spa manicure and pedicure will leave your skin feeling soft and looking smooth.

Herbal spa manicure and pedicures use organic and botanical aromatherapy products that contain essential oils like soothing lavender and anti-inflammatory eucalyptus, and dried herbs like stimulating rosemary and fragrant rose petals in the scrubs, mask, and massage oils that will have your skin coming back for more.

Paraffin Dip Manicure and Pedicure

Paraffin dip manicures and pedicures offer the ultimate in moisturizing skin on the hands and feet. During the procedure your entire hand or foot are dipped in paraffin wax, sometimes before, sometimes after your fingernails are done.

As far as your skin goes, the paraffin dip helps to restore suppleness by opening your pores. This increases circulation and can even relieve sore finger and foot joints, and muscles.

The melted paraffin wax is left on the skin for up to an hour, and when it’s removed, your skin will be left feeling baby soft.

Art House

Do you want a customized design for your nails? Well, Walmart Regal Nails Salon & Spa has you covered! The experienced nail technicians can create any nail shape or design that you want.

For instance, if you want stars and stripes, 3D rhinestones, lace, or an ombre effect on your nails, then you can get it done at Regal Nails Salon & Spa.


Final Thoughts

Getting your nails done at Walmart isn’t as silly as you might have first thought! And that’s because all of the Regal Nails Salon & Spa that operate from these mega superstores offer a great range of nail services that will fit all of your manicure needs — and all at a great price.

So next time you have to head to the box store to pick up some home goods, stop by the Walmart Nail Salon and rock a new manicure at a great price!
