Very pretty space with friendly staff. My nail technician did a great gel application, although the manicure was a bit too rough overall - my cuticles are red and inflamed two days later. I’m willing to give it another try though!

I had a massage, peel and manicure. The massage was amazing! Yoscha knew exactly which areas to focus on and the pressure she applied was on point! Maxine was very informative. I felt some sensitivity around my eye area before I arrived, she suggested the add-on algae mask to my azelan peel and it worked just great! Sensitivity and irritation disappeared and it left my skin feeling smooth and soothed! Zanele, did such a great job with my manicure and gelish application even though my nails were a bit brittle! Thank you, Meraki, for a lovely pampering session!

My nails are exactly as I wanted them. Thank you so much. Lisa did a great job. I had an appointment and only had to wait a few minutes. I had a manicure with nail polish, I just wished that you use a quick dryer at the end, so that the painted nails dry faster. But I was very satisfied and my nails look great.

Manicure FAQs
The cost of manicures varies depending on the type you go for; however in De Waterkant, you are likely to pay around ZAR 175 for a manicure.
Nail technicians tend to start a manicure with a warm water hand soak, which soften the skin and nails. They then file, buff, and clean the cuticle, massage your hands with a moisturising cream, and apply a base coat of polish, before finishing with a layer of colour, top coat, and cuticle oil. Standard nail polish is left to dry naturally; shellac and gel polishes are cured under a UV lamp; acrylic nails cure in the natural air.
Yes. Some types of manicures do carry risks. Cuticles could be infected if they are cut, and you could suffer with dry, weak, or brittle nails if your polish isn’t correctly removed. Ask your nail technician to talk you through the risks before you book your appointment.
If you like soft hands and beautiful nails, you’ll love getting a manicure. Regular manicures can be very relaxing; they help prevent fungal nail infections and leave your nails looking polished and pristine.
There are a number of different kinds of manicures available including basic (nail polish), gel, Shellac, acrylic, dip powder, French, reverse French, American, Russian, paraffin, and hot stone
It greatly depends on the type of manicure you go for. Some nail technicians suggest having a manicure once a week, however Shellac, dip powder, acrylic, and gel manicures can last a lot longer. You can leave 2-3 weeks before getting your gel or Shellac manicures filled or redone; wait 3-6 weeks between dip powder manicures; and leave 6-8 weeks before having your acrylic nail manicure redone. If in doubt, ask your technician.
Many nail technicians recommend once-weekly manicures to ensure your nails always look good and that your nail polish remains chip-free. However, you can get away with having manicures less often – ask your technician for their specific advice as the frequency can vary according to the nail polish used.
