It's located just inside the little collins mall and very easy to find on the walk-in level. I was able to get right in and Anna took such good care of me, giving me the nicest new set of acrylic nails I've had in a long time (I received so many compliments on her lovely design after I left!!). Pedicure was also lovely. The space was very clean and fresh and airy and services were very well priced. I would highly recommend to anyone in town looking to get their nails done to go here. Thank you again Anna and team!!!

However with such a quick turnaround, I didn't have anytime to actually look at the colour choices for polish. I ended up going with an OPI gel, which I love, but I would've loved a bit more time to look and pick

I like that it doesn't smell like those horrible mall nail bars. A shellac will cost around $25 and is about half an hour all up. I've found in my several visits that although they aren't super friendly, they don't totally ignore you either. The do a long lasting job, with my last shellac lasting 2 months!

The shellac started yellowing on the tips of my nails almost the same day and four days later the tips of my nails were orange, so then I went to get them done again and shellac is supposed to last much longer than four days. The second time I went I got acrylic nails and the person who did them made my cuticles bleed and my hands went out looking worse than when I came in and hurt for a few days. On the plus side you don't have to wait long at all and they're pretty friendly for nail technicians. Would have given two stars but one of the ladies there is lovely, so whoever she is that third star is for you!

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.

I was greeted at the top of the stairs, immediately offered a cup of tea and guided over to the brightest yet most elegant chairs I have ever seen. As I hastily checked in on Yelp I realised I need not fork out my wallet to purchase a glass of champagne - you get a free one when you check-in. Woo! I was treated to a gel polish manicure on my visit and it was simply exquisite - a far cry from my usual manicures that I get from a certain chain store up the road. The whole process was slow but not tedious and incredibly relaxing. I chose my call - a bubbly pink called "fantasy". My manicurist said "Can I show you my favourite pink polish? I think you might prefer it." SHE WAS RIGHT. It was wah-aaaay better than what I chose. We had lovely chats about family and travel while I sipped my champagne and treated my nails. It was just such a lovely experience. Yes, Miss Fox is pricey however it is worth every penny. A voucher to Miss Fox is probably the best gift a gal could ask for.

This time I had the opportunity to do so and was looking forward to a pedicure at Miss Fox. The lady who did my pedi was lovely and friendly and we had a good chat but the result of my "shellac" was a smudged big toe. The pedi Itself I found to be average at best and the whole experience was very overpriced and underwhelming to say the least. The foot massage which I hoped might make up for the rest was very short and not particularly pleasant. More similar to how one might administer moisturiser in a hurry as they run out to work! All in all a VERY disappointing experie
