The Library Nail Salon

Booked an appt for a pedicure shellac.
Had to wait 15 mins to be seated, the salon was so busy that I just sat there and got my foot soaked in the water for another 30mins.
I keep seeing other people just walked in and got their nails done straight away.
The lady did not clean under the nail and I had to ASK her and she didnt even shave my feet! She scrubbed for a few seconds on each side and then did a 30 sec foot «massage»
Was so disappointing! She fully rushed me so she can do all the walk ins.
She didnt ask if I wanted my toes clipped either. Although she was nice, but they totally ripped me off.

This is a 3 star review based on a 5* outcome (seriously good looking nails) but a 2* vibe.
It was a Monday morning and my hands were in dire need of some TLC. I looked around to try and find somewhere with some good reviews but that also opened at 9 rather than 9:30/10.
I found this little spot just down in London court and snuck on in. The place was lovely and clean but there’s a certain something lacking and not much of a vibe going on. Rather than some chill music they had a typical rubbish music tv station on.
I just had a standard manicure, no shellac or gel, and my nails looked really great! The manicure was well done and the girl doing my nails asked me plenty questions on how I wanted them done. We didn’t chat or anything though which was fine but with the lack of music etc it made it feel a little awkward. I did get my hands and arms massaged at the end too though which always makes you feel pretty lush!
They have the SNS natural nails on offer, I really want to try them next time.
All in all I was really happy with my manicure but the experience left a little something to be desired.

I’m a whole lot of annoyed with myself. For whatever reason I disregarded the reviews of this place and walked right past it for the past six months. In the meantime I’ve been frequenting another nail salon with sub-​par service and cleanliness.
WHYYYYY???
Open on Sundays, takes walk-​ins and credit cards.

I had my first set of SNS nails done here and will not be coming back. I came here due to the great reviews in Unilocal,which is why I feel obliged to leave a comment for future customers. I had 3 different technicians work on my nails to make the process go faster, but it is not a comfortable experience for the customer. I asked to have shellac polish removed and replaced with a neutral SNS set. The set came out really thick (like acrylic), and didn’t look natural at all. Unfortunately my shellac polish was not removed properly and was visible under the SNS color I picked. It made my nails look dirty. As soon as I got home I watch you tube videos on how to remove it. I had to have my fingers dipped in acetone for almost 20 minutes, but eventually I was able to get it off. A real waste of time and money.

Excellent service, friendly and pleasant environment! Very professional! I’m addicted to their work and service!!! It’s been a year that they operate and every time I visit them they are getting better and better!

In Perth working for 3 weeks (from California, US) and in dire need of a manicure. Found the Nail Library on Unilocal… walked right in. Very pleased, probably the best mani I’ve ever had. Friendly and professional. $ 40 for mani & colour, pretty flawless. Seems very reasonably priced for Perth, especially given the great job done.

I got the $ 60 pedicure which included a spa pedi, scrub, mask and hot towel. The scrub, mask and hot towel were great. The scrub was massaged onto my legs and feet, and the mask and hot made my legs super soft.
Unfortunately, the pedi itself was pretty bad. I got some cuticle trimming, but my feet are still rough and hard and we’re barely touched when it came to removing any dead skin. Isn’t that the point of a pedicure? Make your feet nice and soft?
Also, my nails were cut straight across with no shaping, so they look really weird, and the polish doesn’t go over the front edge of the nail so it will for sure chip. I was also told they were dry enough to put them in my socks and shoes but my two big toes were smudged after walking 2 blocks.
I don’t think that I have high expectations for a $ 60 pedicure… I just don’t think the basics were met.

I had seen the great reviews on Unilocal so I convinced Caroline to come with me to give this place a go :)
Pros:
The ladies are all friendly and welcoming as soon as you enter. There is also a large range of colours to choose from on the wall, both of shellac and of normal polish.
The price is quite good. Shellac and pedi for $ 55 and $ 75 for shellac and pedi and a mani and normal nail polish.
Cons:
However, I bravely chose orange (I always choose green or purple) and then gold glitter on the top. My toe nails ended up with gold nail polish and glitter which still looks funky but what I asked for… I do like the sparkly-​ness though. And my fingers… They have 2 types of gold glitter on them and no orange to be seen. I was going to say something (& I probably should’ve) but she had already started painting and I was talking to Caroline (what I do best!) and by the time I realised it was too late. It was odd though because after I chose the colours I even gave them to her…
Also the water was too cold for the foot soak even after I asked for it to be a bit warmer.
I would’ve liked more of a scrub and massage which I am use to… I guess that’s how they turn around clients quickly though and why it’s so cheap.
I would probably try it again but I would be more insistent on having the colours I chose next time.

This is the best nail salon. The staff here really care for you and they have the best selection of polishes, gels and shellack — and they are very, very well priced. I highly recommend them and I personally go here every month and always walk away happy.

Being from the U.S. and in Australia for 3 weeks, I was in need of a new shellac mani.
The girl did a good job, she was very cautious and quick.
Made my nails look gorgeous :)
Cute décor and everyone was very friendly

Great little salon that just opened in London Court. I got a gel shellac manicure and it was excellent. The manicurist took her time and did a very thorough job. I really needed my cuticles cleaned up and she spent extra time making sure they looked good. They have plenty of colors to choose from for both shellac and regular manicures. It is a new salon so everything is fresh and clean.
Prices are pretty typical for Perth. But, for a limited time they are running grand opening specials.
My only negative would be that due to the small space the odor of the polishes and the gels is quite strong.
I can see this becoming my go to salon in Perth!
