As always, Soni has done a great job with my eyelash extension and eyebrow threading. Will keep coming back. Not a lot of people in Nelson who does eyebrow threading except for Pearl’s beauty parlor.

Celests attention to detail and care for her work is like no other! My partner used to always say when I got my nails done that it already looks like they've regrown. Now going to Celest the nail is painted and cared for right to the cuticle!

I wish I could give Celeste one hundred stars! I’ve never met a nail tech who takes this much care of your natural nails and has this kind of attention to detail. My nails have never looked so beautiful! Not only is Celeste so very excellent at her craft, but she is a beautiful, kind person inside and out.

Like catching up with a friend and getting my nails done at the same time! Getting my nails done with you is one of the highlights of my week I always leave with beautiful nails and feeling de-stressed and ready to take on another month.

I have been to Nati a few times now and I just love her larger than life personality combined with her attention to detail. She challenges me to go outside my comfort zone by experimenting with colour more with great results and I always get so many compliments for my nails. I can't recommend her highly enough!!!

Always enjoy going back for treatments from threading, waxing and nails. I also enjoy the catch ups we get to have since my last appointment. I would definitely consider myself a regular ☺️

I usually see Soni for threading but this time she did my nails and I am so thrilled. Soni encouraged me to keep my own nails and grow them so that I don't need the tips added in future. She has done an amazing job of them.

Nail Art FAQs
Nail art is any kind of creative decoration that’s applied to your nails using nail polish, glitters, stones, and/or stickers. It is intended to enhance the overall look of your nails and is usually applied after a manicure or pedicure.
If you’re a fan of adopting your own unique look, you may want to consider nail art. It’s a great way of reflecting your personality in a colourful, fashion-forward way.
To keep your nail art in top condition, you’ll probably want to have it applied once every 2-3 weeks.
To help preserve the look of your nail art, always ensure your fingers are fully dry after washing your hands and use a hand and nail cream to keep your skin and nails moisturised. You should also avoid exposure to high heat and harsh chemicals (like turpentine), which will damage your nails, avoid acetone (which can remove the polish and nail art), and wear gloves when you do housework. If you bite your nails, try hard not to when you’ve had nail art applied – it may cause your nail art, manicure, and nails to crack and break.
If you book an appointment to have nail art applied to your nails in Nelson, you’re likely to pay between $5 and $45.
Nail art should last 2-3 weeks depending on the types of polish and nail art products used.
