Full-Service Nail Salon Interior Design & Build Package (Vietnam & USA)

If you’re opening or renovating a nail salon in the U.S., you’re likely facing interior design headaches: how to design beautifully, create a functional layout, and manage everything without overspending.

Instead of hiring a designer, finding a factory, and handling shipping yourself, UnikPlace offers a full-service nail salon interior design & build solution focused exclusively on interiors – designed in the U.S., manufactured in Vietnam. UnikPlace does not handle raw construction, MEP, or permits. We focus solely on what your customers see and experience every day: interior aesthetics, space layout, and custom furniture.

Who Is This Service For?

UnikPlace’s full-service nail salon interior design & build package is ideal for Vietnamese salon owners in the U.S. who already have (or are about to secure) a commercial space and their own contractor to handle construction, MEP, and permitting – but are looking for a professional team that specializes in nail salon interior design and build, taking care of the entire scope of space planning, furniture, and decor.

Put simply: your contractor handles the walls, ceiling, flooring, plumbing, and electrical, while UnikPlace takes care of the design aesthetic, interior layout, and all the furniture inside.

This service is especially suitable for:

• First-time salon owners who are unfamiliar with how to arrange the manicure/pedicure stations, reception desk, and storage cabinets.
• Existing salon owners who want to completely transform their space while still keeping the structural build-out.
• Salon owners who want a professional, cohesive look to support branding and enable premium pricing.

UnikPlace’s key strength lies in its interior focus: we work fast, efficiently, and beautifully, while helping you save costs by producing nail salon furniture in Vietnam and shipping it to the U.S. Since we don’t take on full construction, we don’t spread our resources thin – which allows us to deliver high-quality interior results without compromising our specialty.

Complete nail salon interior design & construction process at UnikPlace

UnikPlace has standardized our full-service nail salon interior design & build process into 7 clear steps, making it easy for you to coordinate with your contractor handling raw construction.

Step 1: Layout Design & Functional Planning

We start with your landlord’s floor plan or construction drawings, analyze traffic flow and seat placement, then propose a functional nail salon interior layout: pedicure chairs, manicure tables, reception desk, display cabinets, waiting area, storage zones, etc.

This layout helps your contractor adjust outlets, water supply, lighting, and plumbing to match the interior plan.

Step 2: 3D Visualization

Once the layout is approved, we develop 3D renders to showcase colors, materials, and the overall nail salon interior design style: walls, flooring, seating, counters, display shelves, and decor.

This stage ensures both sides agree on the concept – avoiding costly mid-project changes.

Step 3: Technical Drawings for Construction Coordination (Dim Build)

From the layout and 3D concept, we produce Dim Build files for all construction-relevant interior specs (bench height, outlet locations for manicure tables, shelf cutouts, wall supports, etc.).

Note: UnikPlace doesn’t build the space or handle MEP/permits, but our drawings help your contractor build in sync with the interior design.

Step 4: Furniture Technical Drawings & Bill of Quantities (Dim Fur + BOQ)

Next, we create Dim Fur – technical blueprints for each furniture item: reception desk, pedicure bench, manicure tables, waiting chairs, cabinets, and more – plus a BOQ (Bill of Quantities) listing materials, dimensions, and quantities.

You’ll see exactly what furniture will be made, in what style, materials, and colors.

Step 5: Budget Estimation & Approval

Using the BOQ, we provide a clear quote covering all interior costs: design + production + packaging + shipping. You can adjust materials or quantities to stay within your budget while keeping a cohesive, stylish look.

Step 6: Furniture Production in Vietnam

Once approved, production begins at our Vietnam-based workshop using your custom specifications. Manufacturing in Vietnam reduces the cost of carpentry, metalwork, and finishing – without compromising quality or craftsmanship.

This is the best of both worlds: U.S.-level design + Vietnam-level production, perfect for Vietnamese owners wanting luxury results without luxury pricing.

Step 7: Packing, Shipping & On-Site Installation in the U.S.

After production, furniture is carefully packed, shipped to your U.S. location, and installed according to the approved nail salon interior layout. Our installers coordinate with your contractor to ensure everything fits perfectly and looks polished.

The result: a fully furnished, professionally designed space. All that’s left is hiring staff and setting up your operations.

Scope of the Full-Service Nail Salon Interior Design & Build Package

The scope of UnikPlace’s all-inclusive nail salon design & build package is clearly limited to the interior and inside space of the salon. It does not include shell construction, MEP work, or handling permits with the city/landlord. You can understand it this way: UnikPlace is responsible for “what you see and touch inside the salon” – from concept and drawings to furniture – while the flooring, walls, ceiling, and MEP systems are handled by your contractor.

Included Services:

• Concept consultation based on your target customer.
• Interior layout design.
• 3D visualization.
• Dim Build technical drawings for construction alignment.
• Dim Fur detailed furniture blueprints.
• Furniture production in Vietnam.
• Packing & shipping to the U.S.

In addition, UnikPlace acts as your operational consultant, helping optimize your salon flow and customer experience. You can opt for full-scope service or only select specific phases (e.g., design + ordering furniture). Either way, UnikPlace serves as your primary interior partner.

Pricing Structure & Service Packages

The cost of a full-service nail salon interior design & build package (interior only) depends on several factors: the size of the space, number of chairs, design style, materials, and level of design detail. At UnikPlace, we typically divide the costs into two main parts: design costs (layout, 3D, interior technical drawings) and furniture production costs. This clear separation helps you easily track and adjust specific items – whether you want to upgrade or save in certain areas.

• Design costs are priced at $1 per sqft, including a full moodboard (style direction), layout drawing, 3D rendering, and Dim Build drawings (technical construction guidelines for your contractor).
• Furniture costs are estimated at around $35 per sqft – this is an average rate and may vary slightly based on material choices, styles, and furniture brands selected by the client.

Thanks to manufacturing in Vietnam, total interior costs are often significantly lower than having everything custom-made in the U.S., especially for salons needing custom reception desks, pedicure benches, or cabinetry. Instead of sacrificing your design vision due to budget concerns, you can maintain a cohesive and professional concept – all within your budget.

If needed, UnikPlace can also provide budget allocation advice between interiors and other areas (build-out, equipment, etc.) to help keep the overall project balanced.

Featured Case Study: Before & After Transformation

Many salon owners come to UnikPlace after trying to furnish on their own – ending up with mismatched furniture and a space that looks like every other salon.

After working with us, the same floor plan looks completely transformed: better layout, coordinated colors, and a unique, branded look.

In many cases, only the interior and design concept are changed – not the structure – but the outcome feels like stepping into a brand-new salon.

Because we focus 100% on interiors, our team deeply considers: how to make your space photogenic, on-brand, efficient, and aligned with your investment capacity. That’s why many of our clients return for their second and third salon locations.

How to Start Working With UnikPlace

From the customer’s perspective, getting started with a full-service nail salon interior design & build package only requires three things: a physical location (or a floor plan), the number of chairs you plan to install, and your estimated interior budget. Next, share more details with us – such as your target customer segment, preferred design style (e.g., modern, Korean, minimalist, luxury), and a few sample photos if available.

The next step is a consultation, where UnikPlace will recommend a suitable direction – from layout planning and concept to a full design – production – delivery roadmap. Once both sides agree, a contract for design and furniture production will be signed, along with a clear timeline for each phase. From that point forward, you no longer have to source factories or chase down furniture samples – everything related to your nail salon’s interior will be backed by a dedicated, professional team.

If your goal is to focus on delivering excellent services, building your team, and attracting customers – instead of handling everything from drawings to furniture – then a full-service nail salon interior design & build package is a smart option to consider. UnikPlace doesn’t try to do everything – we just do one thing really well: accurate design, beautiful production, fair pricing, and on-time delivery to your salon in the U.S.

This way, whether you’re opening a new salon or renovating an old one, the process becomes less stressful, less risky, and more likely to look and feel right from the start.
