Elegant Tips & Toes

I’ve been here a couple of times cause of its location — it’s ten minutes away from my apartment. Whenever I have a last minute event, this would be my go to place for a quick touch up.
The good thing about this nail salon is that I can just walk in without an appointment. You might question its credibility since you would’ve expected good nail salons to be booked out. Well, to save you the hassle of trying it out, it is true that their services isn’t as spectacular as other nail salons. But it is not too bad either.
It depends entirely on the manicurist. Try to ask for the experts: the ones who have more than 2 years of experience. Also try to pop by during non peak hours, around 1ish to 4pm. The busier they are, the more careless they could be. For example, I just got my nails done around noon and had a small cut due to my manicurist’s diverted attention.
Price wise I would say it isn’t too expensive either but it could be cheaper based on the inconsistent quality of service. I wouldn’t recommend this place unless you’re looking for a fast emergency solution to your nail problems.

After scouring the streets of Northern Melbourne for a nail salon the whole Australia Day weekend, I finally stumbled upon this place. In the States I get my nails done every weekend. Apparently it’s something Aussies only do for weddings — pretty much the definition of low-​maintenance!
Anyway, I scrambled into the place at the sight of a sign for a $ 40 gel manicure. I was at the point where I would have settled for any old dump, but this place is spic and span. The manicure was probably the best I’ve had in terms of attention to detail, so I opted for an eyebrow wax, having shocked myself by taking a close look in the mirror last night. For $ 15, those little caterpillars were whipped into shape and the uneven-​ness from the last go was corrected.
