Pd Nails is a nail salon at 94 Hurstmere Road in Takapuna, on Auckland's North Shore, rated 4.4 on Google from 196 reviews. It has no standalone website, so its Facebook page is the place to check for current details.
The difference between a good nail salon and a forgettable one usually comes down to prep and hygiene: tools sterilised between clients, single-use files and buffers, and careful cuticle work and shaping — which is what decides whether a manicure lasts a fortnight or chips within days. Long-wear gel deserves proper application and proper removal too, and a soak-off beats picking at it every time. Walk-ins are often fine midweek, but weekend appointments fill quickly, so booking ahead is the regulars' habit.
With its spot on Hurstmere Road, a short stroll from Takapuna Beach, Pd Nails is handy for North Shore locals and weekend visitors alike.
