I would pay out the nose for a nail salon where you didn't talk to the nail person, or even better yet there was a screen hanging between you. They are lovely but I hate having to make small talk so much that I just never get my nails done.

If you go to Asian nail salons they often don't talk to you much because their English isn't very good.
I've also had decent luck with asking if I can just listen to something on headphones but I understand that's awkward.

Would you rather have it done by a robot? Cuz, humans talk! It's a feature that sometimes feels like a bug..

Understandable. But most go to the nail salon to talk.
I'm sure your can find a place that didn't care taking. Especially if a self owned one when you tell her you will only use her, provided zero talk. Shell be happy

So what you want is a booth/hole in the wall where you just put your hands in, wait for 10 minutes and take them out, all done.

You can try to tell them you have a lot on your mind and to excuse you if you’re not very talkative. Although I have no first hand experience

Glory hole nail salon?
But I agree- there’s a hair salon here in Albuquerque that advertises for introverts and says you don’t have to talk if you don’t want. I think it’s a great idea for almost any beauty business. And it must be a relief for (some of) the workers too.
