Nail salons are becoming more and more numerous in France, to the point of changing the layout of certain streets. In Paris alone, their number has exploded in recent years, going from 278 in 2014, to 351 in 2017, 470 in 2020 and up to 565 in 2023.
That is an annual increase of 8.4%, reaching 20% over the last three years and more than 70% since 2018. “It’s growing like mushrooms,” confirms Amélie, a 25-year-old resident of the Latin Quarter.
