Never underestimate the power of a good manicure or pedicure. It's a small luxury we can all afford, however the beauty tab can get quite pricey when you consider the weekly upkeep (gel manis excluded).

Miami isn't short on nail salons and spas, and while we totally encourage you to splurge on yourself every once in a while with luxe pedicures, effective facials, spray tans, and PAMM-worthy nail art, we're not above $12 to $15 manicures and pedicures and $30 combos. Below we've listed out 21 great places for cheap manis and pedis, ones that will keep costs down and your glam factor up.

We tried our best to span all areas of Miami, from Palm Springs North to Pinecrest, however we're always looking for more salons. Do you have a favorite? Let us know in the comments section, or drop a suggestion into our tip jar and we'll consider adding in the upcoming weeks.

Nails and Wine

We're all for a place that includes nails AND wine in the title. A full manicure and pedicure will run you $30, which is a killer deal, but people go mostly for the nail art. When shouldn't you go? When you're in a rush. Hey, the Mona Lisa wasn't painted in a day, right?

Tucci Nail Spa

Tucci nail spa may have one of the best deals in the area: $33 for a mani and pedi. Although the salon dedicates itself to nails, it also offers blowouts.

Nailbar & Beauty Lounge

If you’ve gotten used to the dingy and subpar conditions associated with a cheap mani, step up your game and check out NailBar and Beauty Lounge in Midtown. The beautiful, chic, modern all white space is really a step above the rest and you aren’t paying an arm and a leg for it either. The $40 express mani/pedi is the most economical decision, but you can upgrade from there. There's also an added perk for all you eco-consious girls: Zoya all natural polish!

Midtown Nail Bar

Biscayne Nail Spot

Buena Vista and Morningside babes can indulge in a little bit of cuticle love at Biscayne Nail Spot. It's clean, sleek, always accepts walk-ins, and offers $30 mani and pedi combos.

Harmony Salon

At some cheap manicure and pedicure places you can walk in and get a mediocre but well priced polish. This is not so at Harmony Salon. Here, you'll leave with hands and feet that should have cost you more than $32. Regulars know to sign up for Harmony Salon's weekly email blast where they tip you off to special offers.

Mira Nail Bar

Copy Link

You know your nail appointment is off to a good start when you have a mimosa in hand. So is the case at Mira Nailbar, a chic new nail salon in Edgewater.

Go ahead- indulge a bit without breaking the bank!

EM Nail Salon

Nailed Miami

Copy Link

This clean and modern nail salon in South Beach is the perfect place to stop in if you’re invited to an ultra-chic event on the beach and you’ve been running errands all day.

BNT Nail Salon

A cheap and chip-less mani isn’t easy to find, and if splurging at the Biltmore isn’t in your cards for this week’s touch up, try BNT Nails, which has two locations in Coral Gables and Downtown Miami. This is run-of-the-mill nail salon almost never has a wait and has a vast collection of gel nail polish colors available.
