Our Story
Tony Nails -Lashes -Brows & Head Spa is a full-service luxury beauty sanctuary proudly serving Salem, Virginia, and the greater Roanoke Valley for over 18 continuous years. Founded with a passionate commitment to artistic excellence, clinical-grade cleanliness, and warm community hospitality, our salon has grown from a boutique nail practice into the region’s foremost multidisciplinary center for nail enhancements, restorative Japanese head spas, and state-licensed permanent makeup artistry.
Our philosophy centers on health-first beauty. In the nail care domain, we have led the regional transition away from aggressive, damaging mechanical drilling toward damage-free natural nail systems, including Builder in a Bottle (BIAB), Après Gel-X 100% soft gel extensions, and European waterless dry manicures. By taking the time to understand your nail history, daily hand habits, and personal aesthetic goals, our technicians nurture your natural nails back to full structural strength while delivering head-turning, chip-proof artistry that lasts three to four weeks.
In our private spa suites, we offer the Roanoke Valley’s most sought-after authentic Japanese Head Spa therapies. Recognizing that hair vitality begins at the scalp, our trichology-certified specialists combine high-definition 200x digital microscope diagnostics, warm ultrasonic steam, organic botanical scrubs, and continuous waterfall hydro-halos to unclog suffocated hair follicles, balance the scalp microbiome, and induce profound parasympathetic nervous system relaxation.
For clients seeking effortless daily glamour, our master cosmetic tattooing division provides high-precision eyebrow microblading, soft powder ombré shading, watercolor lip blushing, and permanent eyeliner. Every cosmetic tattoo procedure adheres to hospital-level sterilization, single-use disposable micro-cartridges, and personalized Golden Ratio architectural mapping, ensuring subtle, natural enhancements that gracefully endure for two to five years.
Uncompromising sanitation remains our highest promise to you. Every metal instrument used at Tony’s Nails undergoes multi-stage ultrasonic cleaning and dry-heat autoclave sterilization in sealed medical indicator pouches that are opened exclusively before your eyes. Our pedicure stations feature 100% pipe-free jet basins fitted with brand-new, single-use disposable liners for every guest, completely eliminating bacterial or fungal recirculation.
Whether you live in Salem, Roanoke, Cave Spring, Vinton, Hollins, or Blacksburg, we invite you to experience the unhurried care, transparent pricing, and five-star luxury that have defined Tony’s Nails for nearly two decades.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Salon
How long has Tony’s Nails been in business in Salem, VA?
Tony’s Nails has proudly served Salem, Roanoke, and the greater Roanoke Valley community for over 18 continuous years, opening our doors in 2007. We are family-founded and locally committed to bringing the newest clinical beauty technologies to our beloved valley.
Where are you located, and what is parking like?
We are located at 2721 W Main St, Salem, VA 24153, right next to key shopping conveniences and just minutes from I-81 and Route 419. We provide an expansive, private parking lot directly in front of our entrance with 100% free parking and zero hassle.
Do I need an appointment, or do you take walk-ins?
Walk-ins are warmly accepted for manicures, pedicures, and basic waxing! For specialized private services like our Japanese Head Spa or Permanent Makeup (eyebrows, lips, eyeliner), booking in advance is recommended to ensure your private suite and dedicated artist are reserved.
How do you ensure medical-grade sanitation?
We employ hospital-grade dry-heat autoclave sterilization for all metal implements, sealed in medical indicator pouches opened in your presence. Our pedicure basins are 100% pipe-free and fitted with brand-new disposable liners for every guest. All buffers, files, and pumice bars are single-use.
Are your technicians licensed and certified?
Yes! Every team member holds active Virginia Department of Health and professional cosmetology or aesthetic licenses. Our permanent makeup artists and head spa specialists maintain advanced continuing education certifications in trichology and cosmetic tattoo color theory.
What are your hours of operation?
We are open Monday through Saturday from 9:30 AM until 8:00 PM, and Sundays from 12:00 PM until 6:00 PM. Our late 8 PM weekday closing time makes evening self-care after work relaxed and accessible.
What is your policy on appointments, deposits, and cancellations?
For general nail and waxing services, we do not require deposits. For extensive multi-hour procedures such as full Permanent Makeup transformations or 90-minute Ultimate Scalp Head Spas, a modest deposit secures your dedicated private suite. We simply ask for 24 hours advance notice if you need to reschedule.
How do you protect clients with fragile, sensitive, or damaged natural nails?
Our salon specializes in natural nail rehabilitation. We never aggressively file or drill your natural nail plate. Instead, we recommend Builder in a Bottle (BIAB) or waterless Russian dry manicures with diamond e-file bits that gently exfoliate dead cuticle skin while leaving the underlying keratin intact, allowing your nails to regain their natural thickness.
What payment options and gift certificates are available?
We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and cash. Beautiful physical gift certificates in any denomination can be purchased at our front desk or over the phone—an ideal gift for holidays, birthdays, and wedding celebrations.
Can you accommodate bridal parties, wedding prep, or group gatherings?
Yes! We love hosting bridal parties, corporate retreats, and group spa celebrations. Our spacious salon floor allows multiple guests to receive pedicures, manicures, and head spas simultaneously in comfort. Please call us at (540) 375-3830 to coordinate dates and private suite staging.
What makes your Japanese Head Spa different from a traditional shampoo wash?
A traditional salon wash simply cleans hair with detergent shampoo. Our Japanese Head Spa is an advanced clinical trichology therapy held in a private suite under soft blankets. It includes a 200x digital microscope camera scan to analyze your follicular openings, ultrasonic warm herbal steam, an organic sea-salt and salicylic acid scalp scrub, deep cranial shiatsu acupressure, continuous golden hydro-halo water therapy, restorative hair masks, and high-frequency violet wand ozone purification.
Do you stand behind your work with a client satisfaction guarantee?
Yes, 100%! We provide an unconditional 7-day warranty on all gel manicures, BIAB builder gel overlays, and Gel-X full sets. If a nail lifts, chips, or cracks within seven days of your service, stop by or give us a call, and our technicians will repair it promptly at zero cost to you.
Our Hospital-Grade Sterilization & Clean Air Protocol
Every guest who visits Tony’s Nails is protected by rigorous biological sanitation protocols that exceed standard state board requirements. All metal tweezers, cuticle pushers, and nippers undergo ultrasonic decontamination followed by high-temperature dry-heat autoclave sterilization. Tools remain sealed in sterile pouches until the moment your service begins.
Furthermore, our salon is equipped with dedicated source-capture air ventilation systems that continuously filter dust particles and vapors, maintaining clean, fresh ambient air for our clients and staff. You will never encounter harsh monomer fumes, heavy dust, or recirculated water at Tony’s Nails—only a pristine, relaxing sanctuary dedicated to your wellness.
