Best Nail Salons near me in Waterfront, Cape Town

Review for the Nail Salon I had a group appointment with my friend for a manicure and pedicure, and it was absolutely perfect! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel comfortable from the start. They worked with great attention to detail and took their time to ensure everything was done flawlessly. The atmosphere was relaxing, and the overall experience was amazing. I can highly recommend this place without hesitation!

I’ve been coming here for years, and it’s still my absolute favourite form of self-care. The staff are always so welcoming and genuinely kind, and the service is consistently outstanding. It’s rare to find a salon where every visit feels just as good (if not better) than the last. I especially love how my nail tech always just knows what artwork will look good on my nails — it makes every set feel unique and amazing. From start to finish, the experience is relaxing, professional, and something I always look forward to. Couldn’t recommend them more highly!

Enara you are a true artist! She worked with an efficiency and confidence that make me feel at ease right from the start. She blew me an away with her skills from the meticulous shaping to the beautiful recreation of my inspo pics. Also a big thank you to all the ladies in the salon for being so friendly and helpful. Love that I’ve found a place I can trust to do my nails to such standards.

Feli is truly amazing! She’s a professional with an incredible eye for nails. I’d give her a 10 out of 10! As a guy, I usually don’t do my nails at a salon/clinic, but now I’m definitely her regular customer! Thanks so much, @Shenanigans Beauty and Laser

10 out of 10, I highly recommend Mary! I’ve been going to her for 8 years, and she has consistently exceeded my expectations every single time. From the moment I step into her salon, I know I’m in the best hands. Her attention to detail is second to none, and the quality of her work is always flawless – whether it’s a classic manicure, intricate nail art, or a simple colour, it’s always perfect. Not only is she incredibly skilled, but she also creates such a warm and welcoming atmosphere, making every visit a relaxing experience. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my nails. Simply the best!

As always, I am thoroughly impressed with my regulat nail gel treatment! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and relaxing. Colleen, the nail technician is highly skilled, paying attention to every detail and ensuring my nails were perfect. The quality of the gel was excellent – durable, glossy, and beautifully applied. The entire team are professional and friendly, making the whole experience enjoyable. I always leave the salon feeling pampered and extremely satisfied with the results. I highly recommend Boa Bree Street!

I cannot recommend my nail tech at Shenanigans Beauty Salon enough! Every appointment is a full-on experience of care, creativity, and pure magic. From the moment I sit down, I feel seen, pampered, and like I’m in expert hands. The attention to detail is next-level – whether it’s a clean classic set or a bold design, she nails it every time (pun fully intended 😄). She’s not only incredibly talented, but also kind, professional, and always up for trying something fresh and fun. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about the health of your nails and your vibe, this is your girl. 💅🏾✨

A long-time client of Rose Blvd, and I refuse to go to any other nail salon because these girls ALWAYS deliver! No matter the request, they will provide you with professional guidance and always bring your vision to life.

I love Boa Salon as I always leave fully satisfied with the treatment. My nail technician pays great attention to detail, ensuring the end result is a flawless gel application with the perfect shape. However, my only hesitation, is that the treatment takes very long. During my last visit, I had a soak-off on my feet and a re-application, along with a file and Go on my hands, and the treatment took 2 hours. Despite the lengthy time, the quality of the service and the meticulous work keep me coming back. Highly recommend if you have the time to spare.

Exceptional!!! Tina was amazing, she made me feel so comfortable from the minute I sat down. She helped me with my choices (I’m very indecisive), we were so friendly and we really got along great! My nails look amazing, it hasn’t looked this great in the longest time! I’m truly so impressed, there is not 1 imperfection, she is a nail guru for sure. The salon was also so pretty, they played the best music and the smoothie I had was to die for. Thank you Tina and team 💕🌸💅

Fantastic experience - the staff friendly and salon beautiful and small details are seen to for a good experience. It is very evident that cleanliness and sanitation is a big focus, which is comforting. I did a polymer gel with tips and colour - all the latest trends and fashion colours were available to choose from. Chenai is wonderful - her attention to detail and precision is noteworthy. I have found my new favourite nail salon.

Amazing as usual ! Meticulous work and such wholesome conversations with the techs in the salon. Shenanigans is the only salon I trust with my nails

Absolutely loved my experience at Meraki today ✨ Polygel nails, manicure and pedicure – everything was flawless. The consultation was exceptional, truly the best I’ve ever had, and the service was unbelievably friendly and professional. This salon genuinely exceeds all expectations. Simply fantastic. Highly recommended!

You have a very kind and welcoming lady at your Salon, she did an amazing job with my nails, I am definitely coming back.

My daughter and I both had nail treatments respectively with two very good technicians. Products are excellent and salon is most comfortable and clean. A lovely experience.

My 1st visit to A Boa Beauty Bar, the space is beautiful and the ladies are so welcoming. My nails were done to perfection. The only disappointment was that they were out of white Gel such a popular colour a salon should always have more then 1 bottle of this colour or ensure that stock is always updated!

Urban Crush is a lovely salon. The staff are professional. I had a mini and pedi, my nails look great. Thank you.

Good, the salon equipment and nail polish just needs a good clean. Hygiene seems be “surface” only and nail polish bottles are dirty, as well as the Nail Lights. Nail files don’t get hygienically cleaned. Am a little concerned that cleanliness isn’t top of mind

If you're looking for the best nail tech in Cape Town, please look no further. Having lived in Cape Town my whole life, I’ve been to many nail salons, and quite honestly, it’s always been a hit or miss experience. That is, until I found Carlyn through word of mouth. After seeing my friend’s nails (which were quite literally perfect) and hearing great reviews about Carlyn, I booked an appointment. Carlyn is hands down the best in the city. Every single time I leave her chair, my nails look effortlessly perfect. She’s a true professional and does it all. She NEVER misses!
