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 The nail technician was a bit withdrawn and perhaps slightly unfriendly.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

I’ve visited several lash specialists in Cape Town, but Lauren’s work is truly exceptional. My lash lift lasts far longer than any I’ve had before, and the result is consistently flawless. Her brow lamination has completely transformed my fine brows. Thank you Lauren!

The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, my gel manicure looks flawless, excellent quality and the nail technician really takes their time to perfect the shape and design. Portia did an amazing job on my intricate nail art and the whole experience was very relaxing. Love the clean and welcoming atmosphere, the pedicures here is top notch with a bonus great foot massage.

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.

Beautiful salon that’s very very clean. Lovely friendly staff. I booked a fullset acrylic with tips and gel polish and was told when paying that certain colours (bio) are an additional R70 which caught me off guard a bit seeings my booking did include gel polish.

I really enjoyed my Gel Nails and Queen Pedi with Brenda, she did a wonderful job of my french mani. I love visiting BOA for my nails. However, I think BOA needs to invest in more exciting nail varnish colours, if you look at Sorbet's nail varnish, they have a much larger selection. I also think BOA should sell nail polish.

Gel Nails FAQs
Book your next gel nails appointment in Observatory with Fresha
When you’re on the hunt for the best nail salons in Observatory, Fresha is the only place you need to look. Compare services by location, price or review, and book your ideal appointment instantly. You can even pay for your treatment in advance. Plus we’ll keep you on track with appointment reminders, so you don’t miss a thing.
One of the great things about gel nails is how long they last. You can keep that colour popping and shine shimmering for weeks. Gel polishes like Shellac dry hard too, so you’ll likely feel that added durability for your natural nail bed. And because they stay put, you can give your nails a chance to grow. So they should be just the right length for your next nail appointment. Book gel nails and gel nail removal at top salons in Observatory, with prices ranging between ZAR 80 and ZAR 480.
We’ve already helped millions of customers book 1 billion appointments at five-star businesses around the globe. And with tens of thousands of hair, health and nails businesses using our free appointment booking app, we’re on a bit of a roll. Plus, you can now find us in 120 countries, so enjoy some Fresha-approved TLC no matter where you are in the world. And we’re always on the lookout to pair up with new businesses. So if you can’t find your favourite place in Observatory, South Africa, on Fresha, send us a message at hello@fresha.com. Get ready to look good and feel fresh.
