Praise was so gentle, and even gave me a few tips to help with nail growth. I’ve been to the other BOA’s in Cape Town, none of them compare to the experience and atmosphere at the BOA in Sea Point. Will be back and recommending everyone here!

There are almost no non gel nail polish colours at the Sea Point store. I suggest buying a few from Dischem while you wait the arrival of your own brand.

Precious did an absolutely amazing job! She was quick but still incredibly professional. She completely saved my nails—they were so short, but with the tips and BIAB the results were flawless. I showed her a design and she recreated it exactly like the photo. I’m beyond happy with my nails! I’ll definitely be back when I’m in Cape Town and would 100% recommend her! ✨💅

Lovely experience at Boa, Buitengracht Street. The therapists were patient and sweet whilst I chopped and changed my mind and did a beautiful job of my nails! I had a gel manicure and pedicure and my partner had the Men's Pamper Day Package. We really felt the love and both agreed we'd certainly be going back!

I just had to write a review about my experience with Tammy at Origin Wellness Spa in Cape Town. I booked a facial, massage, and manicure package, and Tammy took care of everything. First off, her facial technique was incredible - my skin felt completely refreshed and glowing afterward. Then the massage... wow. She found every knot and tension spot I didn't even know I had and worked them out perfectly. The manicure topped everything off beautifully, and Tammy was lovely to chat with throughout the entire session.

Gel Nails FAQs
Book your next gel nails appointment in Waterfront with Fresha
For your next nail appointment, booking with Fresha makes everything easier. When you use Fresha, you’ll be able to find the top nail salons in Waterfront and book an appointment that fits around your schedule. You’ll pay for your treatment upfront, so you can spend more time doing what you want. Self-care, simplified.
From glitter and chrome to matte and high gloss, gel nails never fail to be classy. You can try flashy gel colours or fancy French gel nails for an elegant touch of self-love. Soak-off gels like Shellac can be less damaging since they don’t need to be drilled or buffed off the nail bed. And they’re tough enough to last up to 3 weeks, while still standing up to chips and cracks. Tap on the Fresha mobile app to browse your nearest gel nail treatments in Waterfront. You should set aside around 1 hour for an appointment and expect to pay between ZAR 80 and ZAR 480 with the professionals on Fresha.
We’ve booked 1 billion appointments worldwide so far. And we can’t wait to book another 1 billion. We’re not just the go-to wellness app in Waterfront, or in South Africa, but in 120 countries around the world too. You can help us stay on top by keeping your ear to the ground in your area. Let us know about any hidden treasures around the corner from you. We’d love to partner with brilliant hair, massage and weight loss businesses, since we happen to offer the best platform for salons and clinics in the world. So feel free to send them through to hello@fresha.com. Book your first appointment today. Because good things come to those on Fresha.
