What moves the price
- Travel distance — a mobile nail technician charges more for homes outside their usual area
- Treatments booked — a mobile pedicure or extensions costs more than a manicure alone
- Gel or regular polish — gel needs a lamp and more time, so it is priced higher
- Group bookings — several clients at one address can lower the price of each nail appointment
- Evening and weekend visits — a mobile nail technician may add a premium for unsociable hours
- City rates — mobile visits in London cost more than in smaller towns

Before you book

- Remove old polish yourself if the technician charges extra for removal at home
Mobile Nail Technician cost: questions people ask
Usually £25 to £60 per visit, and around £35 for a manicure with gel at home. A mobile pedicure or a long journey pushes the price higher.
Allow 45 minutes to an hour per person, plus around 10 minutes for the technician to set up and pack away.
They are not licensed nationally, but a professional will carry public liability insurance and hold a nail qualification. Ask to see both before booking someone new.
Often, yes. A mobile technician doing three or four clients at one address spreads the travel across everyone, so each person tends to pay less.
Extensions, detailed art and travel outside the usual area are usually charged as extras.
They are Locufy guide prices for the UK, based on published UK manicure and pedicure guides. Mobile rates vary a lot with travel, so ask each technician for a full quote.
