Got a beautiful set of nails! The nail technician was a bit withdrawn and perhaps slightly unfriendly. I understand everyone has bad days but this seems to be a common theme with your nail technicians at all branches it seems…..as I go to different locations everytime, (CBD, Claremont, Rondebosch and now Observatory). Receptionists are always very welcoming and friendly. Kind regards Thank you

Staff were very helpful and friendly. Loice aced the memo with my soft gel tips, catseye polish with chrome French tips. Not an easy feat but she did it super well and im so happy with the end result.

The experience was swift and calming. I love the fact that you get you hands cleansed by mineral salts before the manicure and the massage you get after the manicure. Beautiful experience. And special thanks to Philiswa for explaining to me the difference between natural buff & shine, and top coat buff & shine.

OMG😍! First time taking my munchkins to The Potter's Beauty care and it was a HIT! 👸🏽 The blow dry was GENTLE and SO SOFT, my 3-year-old loved every minute of it and is already asking to go back 🤣! I will DEFINITELY be recommending The Potter's to all my friends with little ones 👌🏽. And let's not forget the classic music, WiFi, drinks... AND the staff were AMAZING 💛! Everything was ON POINT! If you're looking for a fab spot for the little one's hair, Potter's is THE PLACE 💖!
