Made an impromptu appointment to get my manicure and pedicure done. This was my First time getting my nails done and I was assisted by Fuzzy M who was so great! She was so gentle and made me feel comfortable at some point I dozed off. She was Professional and really took good care of me! This all Women Team is doing amazing things in Wynberg. Definitely would say the Salon is also Queer Friendly. 🌈 Do check them out, I personally will be back!

Hi Kerry I’m sorry I didn’t rate it 5 stars but to be honest felt like the whole appt was a bit rushed. I had booked 2 hours, 30 min consult and 1.30ht facial and walked in at 10.30am and was done by 11.38am. It is an expensive treatment and just not used to feeling so rushed in that type of appt. Everything else was great so thank you.

Manicure FAQs
The cost of manicures varies depending on the type you go for; however in Elfindale, you are likely to pay around ZAR 180 for a manicure.
It depends on the type of polish used: traditional nail polish lasts about a week, acrylic nails should last between 6-8 weeks and will need a fill every 2-3 weeks to cover regrowth. Shellac and gel nails last for 2-3 weeks.
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.
Manicurists tend to begin a manicure by soaking your hands in warm water to 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.
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
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.
