The Story

About This Place

Ace Nails & Beauty occupies a well-kept space on Nguyễn Bá Huân in Thao Dien, drawing a clientele that skews heavily expat and international — including visitors who make it a deliberate first stop after landing in Ho Chi Minh City. The 5.0 average across 104 Google reviews is sustained less by novelty than by operational consistency: a 3-step sterilization protocol and sealed, sterile tool bags prepared fresh for each client set a hygiene standard that several returning guests specifically name as their reason for switching from other Thao Dien salons.

Head artist Anna has built a following for her speed without sacrificing accuracy — detailed nail art that typically requires two-plus hours elsewhere gets completed in closer to one. A reference photo brought in at the door tends to come out recognizable on the other end, which is not a universal experience in the neighborhood. A bespoke intricate design runs around 1.3 million VND; the broader menu covers manicures at varying complexity levels, pedicures, and a hair wash add-on that stretches single-service appointments into something closer to a full afternoon of pampering.

Bilingual staff fluent in both Vietnamese and English keep communication clear for international visitors, removing the guesswork that often accompanies service decisions in a second language. The interior is relatively new, with a clean and comfortable layout that prioritizes calm over volume — more focused retreat than high-turnover nail bar. For residents in Thao Dien or visitors working through a short itinerary, the salon functions as a reliable default: not the most conspicuous option on the street, but one where the result consistently reflects what was requested.

Had such a fab time here! The girls are all so lovely! I came in with an inspo and the head artist, Anna, nailed it perfectly. Super fast and efficient, I normally have to sit for hours for something like this in Vn, but here it was done in an hour! My pedicure was perfect, so luxurious and clean, perfect way to take care of my feet after a long flight in. Unlike many other places around, Ace VN uses a 3-step sterilization process. If you’re coming to HCMC and looking for a perfect nail experience, I highly recommend this cute salon! Owned and run by a fellow Aussie!

From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed in my all friendly and accommodating staff! I had a very pleasant experience here and I am glad I passed by it on my walk. I have definitely felt the passion, attention to detail, and care the technicians put forward. The photo (on the right) was my inspiration and the video (on the left) is the result. For this design, I ended up paying around 1.3 mil. VND. It was also helpful that staff spoke both Vietnamese and English as my Vietnamese is very limited. Inside, the atmosphere was very beautiful, pleasant, and bright, which was what invited me in to stop by in the first place. Though there were some materials the salon did not have in supply, they provided options throughout and consulted to ensure that I was satisfied and happy with them! Thank you for taking care of me and the hard work done!

My wife and I flew in straight from Sydney to Ace VN and had the most relaxing and luxurious pampering. The team are professional, detailed and very friendly. The prices are great for what you receive, there are many packages to choose from. Highly recommend if you want a great nail and beauty experience.
