Podgorica, Bar or Budva
Podgorica and Bar have similar prices, while Budva is noticeably more expensive. A classic manicure has a median price of €9 in Podgorica, €10 in Bar and €25 in Budva, and even the shortest 30-minute manicure in Budva costs €15 at Kamalaya Spa and €20 at Maja beauty. A pedicure without polish has a median price of €20 in both Podgorica and Bar, and €32.50 in Budva. Extensions on short nails cost a median of €25 in Podgorica, €30 in Bar and €42.50 in Budva, ranging from €30 at Green diamond to €60 at the Amandi salon.
For Tivat and Kotor we found the price lists of two salons in Tivat and one in Kotor on SrediMe, so we list them individually. Orabella in Tivat charges €25 for a manicure, €30 for a manicure with gel polish and €30 for a pedicure, while Luštica Beauty Bar charges €38 for a manicure, €65 for tip extensions and €50 for an aesthetic pedicure. Nimfa in Kotor charges €30 each for a hygienic manicure and a hygienic pedicure, and €40 each with gel polish. We found the lowest prices in Nikšić, where Krasota charges €5 each for a Russian e-file manicure and a classic pedicure.
Longer nails, higher price
For extensions the price rises with length. Concept Beauty and Spa in Podgorica charges €30 for length S, €35 for M, €40 for L, €45 for XL and €50 for XXL, so €5 per step. Dream Nails asks €16, €18 and €20 for gel tip extensions in lengths S, M and L. The same goes for removal: Beauty Room S charges €6, €8 and €10 to remove gel polish done elsewhere, depending on length.
A refill, that is filling in grown-out gel, is cheaper than a new set. At the 18 salons offering both services a refill is €3 to €10 cheaper than extensions on short nails, most often by €5: Concept Beauty and Spa and Glossed Beauty charge €25 for a refill against €30 for a new set, and Beauty by Gabrijela in Bar €25 against €35 for gel tips.
Russian, medical and men's pedicure
Next to manikir podgorica (manicure Podgorica) and pedikir podgorica (pedicure Podgorica) Google suggests ruski (Russian), medicinski (medical) and muski (men's), so we looked at those treatments separately. The cheapest Russian pedicure at five Podgorica salons costs from €22 at Studio Kaleo to €30 at Modni studio Maja, and with gel polish €35 at Studio Kaleo, Lotus Beauty & Nail art and Magnolia. The Sneža salon describes its €25 Russian manicure as a treatment done without nippers or scissors.
A medical pedicure in Podgorica costs from €25 at Concept Beauty and Spa and Lotus Beauty & Nail art to €50 at the Gracia salon, which has three levels at €50, €55 and €70 and charges €25 per nail for corrective treatment of an ingrown nail. On the coast it is more expensive: Orabella and Luštica Beauty Bar in Tivat ask €40 and €75, and Amandi in Budva €80.
Men's treatments usually cost more. At four salons offering the same pedicure for women and men, the men's version costs €5 to €10 more: Sofiamed in Bar charges €25 for women and €35 for men for a hygienic full-foot pedicure, Atmosphere in Budva €35 and €40, Kamalaya Spa in Budva €30 and €35, and Amandi €45 and €50. Clinique Beauty in Budva asks the same price from women and men for a manicure and an aesthetic pedicure, €25 and €40.
Add-ons that raise the bill
At most salons French is an add-on to the main service. At 14 of the 16 salons that charge for it separately it costs €2 to €6, while Luštica Beauty Bar in Tivat asks €10 and Amandi in Budva €15. If you switch salons, also budget for removing another salon's work: Irena in Podgorica charges €5 for gel polish and €10 for gel or tips, and removal of gel polish or gel on its own costs €5 to €15 at 22 salons.
What to check before booking
- What the price includes, because some salons charge gel polish together with the manicure and others separately.
- Nail length, because extensions, refills and removal are priced by length.
- Whether removing previous work is charged, especially if it was done at another salon.
- How the tools are cleaned and sterilised, because the same instruments are used for many clients.
- Fiscal receipt: a registered salon's bill goes through the electronic fiscalisation system.
