The mani-pedi scene in Port Melbourne is big business. I know there's a lot of polished ladies in…read morethis area but seriously, the competition is fierce when you have no less than 7 nail salons within 1-2km radius! It's hard to pick one when they all appear to be exactly the same. Prices are cheap, but that's not always the greatest selling point in an industry where hygiene is a concern. I have been to Fresh Nails a few times and haven't had any issues to date - the salon is clean, the ladies are all friendly, careful and efficient. I've only ever had one minor cuticle nick and they were extremely apologetic and fussed over me a lot to make sure there was no real damage or bleeding. The one thing this place does have over neighbouring ones (this is the only reason I pick this one over others I've tried) is that they give a good massage. Every mani or pedi I've had has included a short but decent foot or hand massage that is a little better than just slapping on some hand cream. Prices are cheap, $30 for a spa pedi and for memory, about the same for a shellac mani with $5 removal of old colour.

What I love about Fresh Nails is that they really take a mani & pedi to the next level. I've been…read moregoing there for a couple of years now and since their competition opened two doors down (Good nails) they have had 50% off every service in the name of their "3rd Birthday" sale which has carried over for close to 12 months now. Hey, if it means I can get a full manicure for $11 and a full spa pedicure for a ridiculous $27 then I'm not complaining. Here's to another birthday!

DO NOT EVER GO TO THIS SALON!!!!! ZERO STARS!!!!!!!…read more Long review ahead, but the short version is this: Never, ever in my life have I been so blatantly BULLIED and literally TRAPPED inside a store when the business owners are the ones to have made the blunder... I've never encountered such shocking business practices than from my experience at Good Nails in Port Melbourne today - sure it's a nail salon and my experience was with the waxing, but the response of all 3 women who were working was absolutely unbelievable. The young girl who waxed me dropped a clump of wax in my hair - as in, the hair on my head! I showed her and she immediately started grabbing at the clump trying to take it out, but I was nervous she would just rip it out leaving my hair damaged. Unfortunately communication was limited, and I understand that mistakes happen, but there was no apology or concern for what she had done. With the clump of wax still in my hair, she offered $5 discount, which was laughable. Once most of the wax was out (and multiple clumps of hair) I went out to the counter not wanting to pay anything, but I know the girl didn't mean to do this so I thought it was reasonable to ask for 50% off due to the blob of hot wax dropped in my hair (which, in 20 years of being waxed, has NEVER happened to me before). The 3 women effectively ganged up on me, all shouting at me to pay with only $5 discount. The eldest lady then shut the glass door, locked it then stood her body against it, basically trapping me in the store.... I am not kidding. I was in absolute shock. They continued yelling at me, so I asked firmly for the lady blocking the door to allow me to leave. She barked at me and said she will call the police. I said please do. They didn't call anyone. I turned to the young girl at the counter (who had waxed me) and offered (again) to pay half the amount so that I could please leave. The middle lady (who was doing a pedicure on someone who just watched with shock as the whole thing unfolded) relented and said it was fine for me to pay half. I paid and the old lady let me out whilst screaming at me, "Don't you ever come here again, You do not come here again, NOT EVER AGAIN" By this stage I was certainly yelling back, "Don't worry, I wont EVER come back here and I'll be telling everyone I know to NEVER come to this salon"

Good Nails, my second favourite nail bar in Port Melbourne. You could call it the sister store to…read moreFresh Nails & Footspa if you like. They are only two doors down from each other and was opened by an ex-employee with 50% off everything! Which I am sure prompted Fresh Nails competitive edge and 3rd Birthday Sale 50% off initiative. Doesn't matter which one you go to they both provide the same service aside from the fact that this store is smaller and they keep a personalised manicure set with your name on it which beats the alternative of sharing others utensils.

Don't go there if you value healthy strong nails!…read more I'm struggling to give them one star! I've been a long term customer for many years, but after my last experience I will not be returning. Not that I will be able to get my nails done for some time, since it will take me months to grow out the damage caused to my fingernails from this one bad manicure/butchery! I went for gel removal and deluxe Mani & Peddi. The technician who was removing the gel from my fingernails, rather than gently buffing the surface on the gel to enable removal used a very coarse file and filled all the gel along with most of the layers of my natural nails, till they were paper thin and had to be cut off all the way down to the nail bed to enable the manicure to be completed. I stopped her five times and asked her to stop filing. If I hadn't had another technician working on my feet, I would have walked out then and there. After completely stuffing my nails, she applied one thick coat of polish rather than two to three that are usually applied, and the nail art is so crooked and badly done, that, rather than getting compliments, for the unusual design, I have been asked a number of times since I got out of there, " is it meant to look like that?" The answer is NO IT'S NOT! APPALING! Even when I complained and asked her to stop, explained that she was filling off the layers of my nails she argued. I'm kicking myself for being to polite to make her stop and do the work properly.

Initially finding the recommendation on Yelp I decided to check it out as I desperately needed a…read morepedi. The salon was quite during my mid afternoon visit so luckily for me there was no waiting! My pedi was quick (30min) but was accurate and done well. No tools are re used. However, the pumice and nail files used during your treatment are then kindly offered to you to take home (optional). The loyalty card given to me will definitely be utilized. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!
