I live in the US and desperately needed a Mani/Pedi before meeting the boyfriends parents for the first time on Christmas. The girl that did my nails was nice enough, but after over an hour of getting a full mani and express pedi, I waited an additional 45 minutes to make sure my nails were completely dry before leaving, but they were still soft and I ended up messing up 3 nails within a couple hours, and one of my toes smudged immediately. Not only that, but after only 4 days my entire manicure is already chipped on most of my nails and I am going to have to go spend another $ 60 to get them re-done before New Years. Typically, I am used to seeing dryers in a salon, and my nails will last almost 2 weeks before they start to chip. Tip to the salon– invest in some nail dryers to get a nice hard finish before we leave. Really disappointing!

Great value nail service which great express options available, all very reasonably priced and given location, yes there is a bargain to get your nails done. It’s a very business nail bar so suggestion appointments where possible however it also has so many stations that walk-ins are catered for very well here. The end result is always fantastic, my only negative here is that you know you ass is in the chair for only set period of time, this place must survive on turning the chair around quickly. The staff don’t often engage in any banter or small talk(great if you like that) which I don’t mind but I was here with a friend one day, we were both sitting beside each other bantering away, laughing and it felt like they were afraid to break a smile or join in… Shame cause it doesn’t make you feel a tad uncomfortable as a client. They offer a creat check in offer, 15% off morning treatments so if you are free and easy in the AM, drop by and get a cheap manicure even cheaper!

They do a variety of mani’s and pedis here so lots of different price ranges to suit all budgets. Very friendly staff with lots of offers of tea and coffee and even though it was busy and full when I was there I didn’t feel rushed. Got the full pedicure with nail art for € 32 and a week later it still looks great! Not 100% sure but think my nail technicians name was Dashka? She was excellent anyway!

I really like this nail bar! I tried it 2 weeks ago with a friend of mine. The staff are really friendly, and they were able to accommodate my friend and I, though she made her appointment way later than me, and they sat us together for the mani and the pedi. Their prices are very reasonable. I had a full shellac manicure, and a full pedicure with shellac and it was only 70 euros. The same treatment is around 100 euros at the nail bar a few shops away from them. I really loved the colors and how my nails looked. I take away one star because the shellac they use is not the CND brand, but another one. Normally I don’t care which brand is used, but it turns out the one they use takes a really long time to be removed. It took a lot of soaking in acetone and removing for it to get off, something that never happens with CND polish, so I might avoid doing shellac there. Otherwise, no complaints at all!

This salon is nice and clean and as soon as you walk in someone helps you and offer to take your coat. I was 30 mins early and they took me right away to get my pedicure done. The lady was really and took her time as she gave me my pedicure, she also offered coffe, tea or juice. While my feet soaked the water did get cold and I’sm also used to the massaging foot baths but for the most part I was satisfied and it was a much needed pedicure.

This is quite a recent salon at the end of Clarendon street and is always quite full, so I decided to try it out. They have a really convenient online booking system, and there’s a lot of nail technicians here so it’s fairly easy to get an appointment. I got mine by walk-in a few times(on weekdays btw). The staff are really friendly and professional, offered that I pay beforehand and were very helpful. They have a huge selection of colours, and gelish, shellac and acrylics(I find some salons tend to do only gelish or only shellac etc. I got a full mani a few times which was always done to perfection! The only thing I don’t like is the cuticle cutting since I prefer them pushed back. They also have a a few pedicure baths which look good and something I must try next time! The prices are very reasonable compared to most salons, the music they play is catchy and the salon is clean and hygienic.

Best salon I’ve ever been to! The girls are all super nice and very talented! My nails always look great afterwards. It’s a fun, relaxing environment and a really great deal! Usually manicures chip within a day for me but here my nails are good to go for at least a week. Wouldn’t go anywhere else in Dublin.

Based on my last(updated) review, the business owner got in touch and offered to get my manicure re-done. Everyone deserves a second chance so I went back last Friday. My technician Leah was an absolute sweetheart. She did an amazing job on my cuticles and applied the polish perfectly. Seems like an obvious thing but trust me, it isn’t. I had my fair share of bad polish jobs. Leah gave me lots of tips on how to exfoliate correctly and how to make the polish last much longer. The overall service was very very good, very friendly staff all around so this certainly wasn’t my last experience here.

Great Place for a Great Nails! I went last week to have done my Gel Glitter Nails. The Service and the Products are Superb. I definitely recommend this place. You don’t need an appointment it is so handy, every time you go they have space for your treatment.
