This Boa is the best branch (this was my 2nd visit). The technicians (Thembi & Diana) are so wonderful particularly re: care during soak-off. I arrived 30mins early (as I needed a soak-off as well) for my appointment and they were delightfully accommodating. The booking system is still trash (as I couldn’t add the soak-off to my cart) but Bree street is a MUCH better experience over Kloof street.

Pleasant experience but a base coat was not applied before the nail polish was. I found that rather unusual.

Today was my nail appointment and i can absolutely recommend this place. I booked my appointment only 2 hours a go. My nail artist was Christina John, she was absolutely amazing doing her job. I showed her a picture and it looked absolutely the same. Best place to go!!

The talent is insane. The service is impeccable. My nails have been flourishing ever since I started my journey here. They’re no longer weak and brittle which is something I’ve struggled with for a long time. Bonus points to Glow Nail Bar for ensuring that I’m always winning the nail battle in my office. 100/10 would always recommend.

I had my tape extensions removed - it would have been better to have the remaining glue washed out as part of the service as I struggled to do this at home.

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 Cape Town, you’re likely to pay between ZAR 10 and ZAR 100.
Nail art should last 2-3 weeks depending on the types of polish and nail art products used.
