I went to this salon because the other one was jam packed. The ladies greeted me and asked me what I wanted to do. I told then I wanted to try the acrylic ones having seen them on it. The lady insisted I get the SNS type since it was so much better so I asked her if it's a similar price and she just said yes without giving me a price. I sat down. The whole process took about 45mins with the additional length that was added. Overall I'm satisfied with the way it looks, but would have been nice to know what I was paying at the end. read more

Nail Beauty - Nail Salons Near Me - Adelaide, SA

Disclosure: I was offered a reduced rate to return to Nail Beauty Lounge and experience it under new management. This review is as completely honest as it would have been had I paid full price. Staff were not aware I was reviewing their services at the time. I called to book my appointment for a mani/pedi and hung up before realising I wasn't asked for my name or contact number. However, this wasn't an issue when I arrived and, after my feedback, has been addressed with staff. There is a decent range of colours to choose from; mostly OPI and some Essie (possibly China Glaze as well but can't confirm). There's also a good selection of fun glitter and textured polishes which I find can be lacking in other salons. I chose regular polish but I could see what looked to be a good range of shellac and gel polishes also if that's your thing. I was shortly called through to a pedicure chair and enjoyed the foot spa and massage chair action while I was waiting. The filing, shaping and sole scrub all went well (apart from the usual squirming during the ticklish sole scrub). The cuticle scrape and trim also went well and I was happy to not have any bleeding cuticles this time as I find quite often happens. The leg scrub is still quite vigorous and borders on painful and unfortunately the rinse off jet was initially scalding hot to the point of burning and made me jump and yell. A little refinement in this area would make it more enjoyable. A hot towel wipe off was a nice touch. It was then time to move over to the manicure station and the same technician performed my manicure. One unusual thing was that she pushed my cuticles back with her own thumb nail which I'd never seen before but actually preferred as being a gentler alternative to the scraper. Drying is the old school fan method and a coat of finishing spray to end. The horrendous easy listening muzak that I was subjected to during the last visit is "burned and buried" and entertainment was the Victoria's Secret runway shows on TV which was an improvement, even if I did have to tolerate a live performance by Justin Beiber. I was impressed that Anthony had taken the time to contact me via Yelp and was seeking feedback on the changes he was making to the business. This shows a strong desire to improve and an understanding that the customer experience is vital to success! read more

My favourite place to have Shellac done in Adelaide. I walked in originally as they had a sign out from advertising Shellac for fingernails for only $30. The ladies were professional, kind, and really good at their job. I've been receiving compliments that belong to them recently because it all seems to centre around my shiny blue nails! From speaking to my manicurist I believe the shop mainly as a family business which I like to support also. The other benefit comes from the location, set in Regent Arcarde, it's a quieter location than many other nail salons which, for me at least, contributes to a more peaceful experience. read more

Pretty standard nail salon, small (3 foot spa chairs and 4 (?) nail bar seats) but surprisingly I could get a walk-in appointment straight away on Saturday morning. When I finished at around 11:30 it did get busier. Mani Pedi was done professionally, clean and friendly. The $45 for the combo appeared reasonable (I still need to get used to Adelaide prices). The man standing in at reception did have some problems with the Eftpos machine, so make sure you check the payment total! It did appear to be a genuine mistake. read more

This is one of the best nail salons I have been too. I have been twice and always accommodated quickly and efficiently. They listen to what I want with my nails and have great attention to detail. I recently went in at 5pm, half an hour before closing time and they did their best to do my mani and pedi and had to stay later but did not skip any step of the process. I was so grateful because my nails were disgusting. Highly recommend this place and the ladies are so friendly, warm and welcoming. read more

Had a shellac manicure here today and it was fantastic! The lady who did it was very professional and competent and was great at making suggestions for colours and nail care. The salon was clean and they had a massive range of colours not just for shellac but also regular polish as well. $35 for the manicure was well worth it. read more

I booked myself and 2 friends in for lunch time deluxe pedicures the week before my wedding. We arrived to confusion as to what service we wanted and how many people we had in our party. We were then asked to wait and were eventually shown to the pedicure chairs. After slipping my feet into lukewarm water, I started to worry. 35 min later and I'm still waiting for my technician, although my friends had already halfway through their pedicures. My feet were freezing in the now cold water and I was growing tired of the Celine Dion blasting out of the shop speakers. The technicians seemed to be in a hurry so were cutting cuticles and rough handling the scrub and massages. Finally it's my turn and after a 40 min wait, my pedicure lasted all of 10 minutes. It was a definite rush job and far from the relaxing experience I was hoping for. Completely disappointing.The technicians did apologise for the wait and mentioned something about a staff member being late - but I still feel they should have been able to accommodate for people coming in (with a booking) on a busy Friday afternoon. I won't be going back to this salon anytime soon and will stick to my regular place: Adelaide Nails & Beauty. read more

Absolutely disgusting! Worst manicure I have ever had! The place is filthy. My nails look terrible and the lady talked on her mobile while doing my manicure. Worst service I have ever experienced. Save yourself the stress and avoid the place! read more
