Picture the color schemes of a Disney princess film: pastel on ballgown after ballgown. Creamy pastel hues have always been associated with classic, regal feminine ideals, because these colors feel so dreamy and romantic to look at.
Perhaps that’s why some nail houses deck their interiors in beautiful pastel colors. If your next makeover sesh with the girls is fast approaching, why not plan the party in an establishment that is not just well-reviewed, but also pastel-themed to unleash the girls’ inner princesses?
Here’s a list of 10 pastel-themed salons around Metro Manila that your squad can choose from.

This pastel nail house caught our eyes with its creamy yellow and pink interiors inspired by the villages of the South of France. They are also committed to providing an environmentally-conscious pampering experience with their Vegan (P90) and Guilt-Free (P90) nail lacquer add-ons. So it’s great news for people who are sensitive to regular nail polish, because French Tips says that its nail services are free of harmful fumes and toxins.

Their prices are also attractive for such a posh-looking salon, with manicure services starting at only P185 and pedicures at P220.

College kikay girls of University of the Philippines and ‘Katip’ will love this pastel haven situated in UP Town Center with its creamy white interiors accented with rims of gold and dainty pinks and greys.

It features a soak, scrub, nail cleaning, a 30-minute massage – and an apricot seed-infused Pink Peony scrub with Pink Peony lotion, so your nails will smell and feel like the juicy, soft apricot fruit.

KathNails by KCMB is definitely how Philippine teen idol Kathryn Bernardo’s nail salon should look like – pastel with a touch of regal in its choice of fixtures. The salon is a product of Bernardo’s fondness for nail polish, and the name KathNails is inspired by the word ‘KathNiel’, a portmanteau of her love team with Daniel Padilla.

For instance, they have plenty of options for a bachelorette makeover, and we love their Party Package Themed Service (P4,000). This package can be enjoyed by a maximum of 12 persons for 3 hours, and even includes free hand and foot paraffin for the celebrant. Themed manicures and pedicures are named according to your favorite desserts and beverages such as Green Tea, Coffee, Chocolate Lovers, Margarita, Cremee Brulee, and Citrus.
Stay updated with their social media or website though, as their services differ each month to keep you excited for pampering sessions. Going along with the themed service, Posh Nails offers cocktail drinks, coffee, tea, and hot cocoa, to make you feel as if you’re actually inside a palace practicing your table etiquette.

The newest nail salon in Antipolo, which has just opened in October 2019, is inspired by Pantone, with their services named according to the colors of the design institute. Some of these services, for example, are named after the Pantone color Lemon Chiffon, a pale gold, and Peach Puff, a light shade of orange.
Their interiors also look fresh out of a Pantone guide, with velvety rose lounge chairs giving off a strong accent to the salon’s creamy white interiors.
