Tina is a wax master, close to 20 years of experience. I was very comfortable with Tina and waxing. Tina also is extremely friendly, social, I felt very welcomed and able to say what I wanted with my nails. I would recommend Laharve if you want excellent service with a smile.

Rebecca is an absolute gem when it comes to lash extensions and nails. She is gentle during lash application & her work has incredible retention. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking professional lash services. But that's not all – Rebecca's rubber base technique has worked wonders on my natural nails. Without tips, my nails have reached unprecedented lengths. It's remarkable that after several weeks, I haven't experienced any breaks or chips. This longevity allows me to push my nail appointments to 6 weeks without worrying about maintenance.

Gel Nails FAQs
Gel nails cost between ZAR 50 and ZAR 400 in Johannesburg.
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.
Book your next gel nails appointment in Johannesburg with Fresha
Fresha is the best place to book your next nail appointment in Johannesburg. With Fresha, you can shop around for the best nail salons, schedule your appointment at a time convenient for you, and pay for your treatment securely online. No more back-and-forth or lost appointment cards. Spend less time booking and more time feeling good.
Fresha is a big player on a global scale. But we understand local too. We've searched high and low for some 100 of the best nail salons in Johannesburg. Whether you’re in Midrand or Roodepoort, we're streets ahead when it comes to finding the top-rated nail techs in your area. So you can shop around or simply embrace the convenience. And with us, you won't compromise on quality. There are almost 70 five-star businesses on Fresha nearby. Rumour has it, you'll be spoilt for choice.
Try gel nails if you want super shiny nails that last longer than a couple of days. Sometimes called a two-week manicure, gel is tougher than regular polish and is set using UV or LED light to bond the gel to your nail.
Gel colour is intensely pigmented with colours that really catch the eye. The setting process means drying is fast, allowing for the build of different colours and special effects to make your nails extra special. And the good news is that gel nails are easy to remove at home or in the salon, so switching up your style is no problem. Search the Fresha app for gel nails or Shellac nails near you. Expect to pay up to ZAR 400 in Johannesburg.
At Fresha, we love to travel just as much as you do. So we've been looking further on the map than South Africa's borders. Now you can find us in 120 countries, and counting.
