The Beauty Nails is a nail and beauty salon at 101G Main Highway in Ellerslie, Auckland, built around one simple belief — everyone deserves a treat. From classic gel manicures and pedicures to Gel Builder, Gel X and acrylic extensions, lash extensions and a relaxing facial massage, it's a one-stop spot for keeping yourself looking and feeling amazing every single day.
The menu covers both classic and express options. Full mani-pedi sessions include buffing, shaping, cuticle care and a moisturising treatment before gel colour is applied to perfection, while the express versions strip it back to buff, shape and polish for those on the go. Extension lovers are well catered for too, with Gel Builder in the Bottle overlays, tip extensions and refills, Gel X fresh sets and infills, and acrylic full sets using techniques like nail tipping, sculptured nails, nail wrapping and acrylic-gel overlays.
Beyond nails, the salon offers natural-looking lash extensions in classic, hybrid, light volume and mega volume styles, plus a deluxe facial massage designed to soothe tension and boost circulation. Add-ons like French tips, chrome, cat eye finishes and per-finger nail art round things out.
Appointments can be made by phone on 0220485177 or by DM on Instagram and Facebook, and Afterpay is available in store. Doors are open Monday to Wednesday 9am–6pm, Thursday and Friday until 7pm, and weekends 9am–4pm. Services are non-refundable, but any chips or issues are fixed free within 7 days of the original service.
On Main Highway in the heart of Ellerslie, The Beauty Nails is a small Auckland salon built around a simple idea: everyone deserves to treat themselves. Its promise is to have everything you need to keep you looking and feeling amazing every single day, delivered through bookable pampering services that cover nails, lashes and skin in a single visit.
The service list is broader than the name suggests. Nails are clearly the heart of the menu, but between gel manicures, sculpted extensions, volume lash sets and a glow-boosting facial massage, it works well as a one-stop pit stop for everyday self-care. Booking is by phone or social media DM, and Afterpay is available in store.
The backbone of the menu is the classic manicure and pedicure. Nails are buffed and shaped, cuticles are pushed or trimmed, hands and feet get a moisturising treatment, and everything is finished polished to perfection with gel colours. Book the manicure and pedicure together if you want the full hands-and-feet reset in one sitting.
Short on time? The express versions strip the service back to the essentials — nails buffed, shaped and polished to perfection with gel colours — making them the perfect fit for anyone on the go. Either way, you leave with a long-wearing gel finish rather than a quick coat of regular polish.
This is where the menu really digs in. The salon works with Gel Builder in the Bottle, an all-in-one soak-off sculpting gel for extensions with a superior self-levelling formula that stays easy to control and minimises heat spikes. Its flexible strength comes from a balance of soft-gel and hard-gel properties — strength without the cracking of hard gels or the painful, damaging breaks associated with acrylics — and the crystal-clear formula makes a perfect blank canvas for colour and detailed nail art. It's applied as an overlay on natural nails or with tip extensions, then maintained with refills.
Gel X fans can book a fresh full-coverage soft gel set or an infill, while the acrylic system covers full sets applied to all fingers, then filed and shaped to appear completely natural — ideal if you're unhappy with the length or strength of your natural nails. Techniques include nail tipping, sculptured nails, nail wrapping and acrylic-gel overlays.
One house rule worth knowing: artificial nails should always be professionally removed with acetone, which softens and dissolves the product. The salon offers removal services with a cut and shape included, plus add-ons like French tips, chrome, cat eye finishes and nail art priced per finger.
Wake up ready: lash extensions come in natural classic, hybrid, light volume and mega volume styles, with infills to keep them fresh and removal options when it's time for a change. Pair a new set with the deluxe facial massage — available as a 30-minute session or a full hour — which soothes tension, boosts circulation and leaves skin naturally radiant. It's everyday self-care at its simplest.
Appointments are booked by calling 0220485177 or by DM on Instagram and Facebook. Hours run 9am to 6pm Monday to Wednesday, extend to 7pm on Thursdays and Fridays, and sit at 9am to 4pm on Saturdays and Sundays — handy for after-work and weekend visits.
A few policies are worth noting before you book. Services are non-refundable, but if you chip a nail or have an issue, the team will fix it for free within 7 days of your original service — just raise any concerns with your technician before the service begins. Gift vouchers are valid for three or six months depending on value, should be presented at the front desk on arrival, and cannot be redeemed for cash.
Whether it's a quick express pedicure between errands, a fresh Gel X set for an occasion or lashes that make mornings easier, The Beauty Nails keeps things simple: bookable services, gel-shine finishes and a team happy to amend any issues on the spot.
