Almond, Square, Oval, Squoval or Coffin: Nail Shaping Guide in Da Nang (2026)
How to ask for your exact nail shape in English or Vietnamese ('dua form mong') in Da Nang—and why custom shaping is 100% free with every manicure at LENA Nails & Beauty.
Key Takeaways & Quick Answer
In Da Nang, custom nail shaping ('dua form') into Almond (hanh nhan), Oval (tron nhon), Square (vuong), Squoval (vuong bau), or Coffin/Ballerina (thang) is included 100% free of charge in every 70,000 VND basic manicure, 200,000 VND gel manicure, and 400,000 VND extension set at LENA Nails & Beauty. Technicians always shape one test finger for your approval before filing the rest.
- Zero Shaping Surcharge: Unlike salons abroad that charge $5–$10 extra for almond or coffin shaping, it is free at LENA Nails & Beauty.
- The 5 Classic Shapes in Vietnamese: Round (Tron), Oval (Tron bau), Almond (Hanh nhan), Square (Vuong), Squoval (Vuong bau), Coffin (Form thang), Stiletto (Nhon).
- First-Finger Check: Always inspect the length and taper of the first shaped fingernail before the technician files the other nine.
- Best Shape for Short Natural Nails: Squoval or soft Oval resists corner snagging during beach holidays and luggage handling.
