The massage was incredible. The only negative was that the therapists nails were too long so that was uncomfortable

Gina did my nails, and did some threading on my eyebrows and upper lip. Her attention to detail is phenomenal! The salon is a great space to get pampered and treat yourself. From the big smiles when you walk in, to the delicious tea you’re served! Super happy to have found this spot!

What an amazing experience! The place, the hospitality, the service is nothing short of amazing - even in loadshedding,,, Honestly one of the best experiences I have had getting my nails done. They treat you with care and kindness - you don't just feel like another number/customer. Loved getting my acrylic nails done and look forward to using them as my one-stop shop for all my beauty needs.

I feel in a Gel Pedicure the Soak Off should be included, especially if it should be 1 1/2 hours and it only takes 1 hour.

Great heel peel. After cutting toe nails it would be an improvement to file them smooth.. Also to push back the cuticles would complete the pedicure for a perfect finish

What an absolutely amazing experience. From the get go, booking an appointment was a seamless process. Super friendly and professional staff and very welcoming on arrival. The salon is beautifully setup. It’s super convenient in terms of location, and is basically a ONE STOP SHOP. I mean what’s better than having your lashes and nails done at the same time, and I even managed to fit in waxing.. And that’s not all they even have a hair salon 🤩

Gel Nails FAQs
Gel nails cost between ZAR 60 and ZAR 420 in Kenwyn.
Once you’ve had gel nails applied, they should remain chip-free for between 2-3 weeks.
Although gel manicures look beautiful, they can cause your natural nails to become brittle. The American Academy of Dermatology reports that repeated use of gel nails can increase the risk of skin cancer and the premature ageing of skin on the hands.
Gel and shellac nails both cure under UV light, but their composition is different. Gel nail polish is a lacquer made from acrylic monomers and oligomers; shellac polish is part gel, part regular nail polish, and is a patented brand by Creative Nail Design (CND). Both give a high shine and long-lasting finish.
Gel nails tend to give a more natural and glossier finish than acrylic nails; they are cured under a UV lamp and last for around 2 weeks. Acrylic nails are stronger than gels and start to cure as soon as they’re exposed to air; they generally last for 6-8 weeks but will need fills after 2 weeks to hide regrowth. Both can be used to lengthen nails and both can damage your natural nails.
Once every 2 weeks. Gel nails cure (harden) in UV light; this means they continue to cure in natural sunlight. The longer you keep your polish on, the longer it cures and the harder it is to remove. To reduce the risk of stripping and damaging your nails, it’s recommended that you book in with an experienced nail technician to remove and redo your gel nail polish every 2 weeks.
