A good nail salon pays attention to preparation and hygiene, with clean tools and a technician who shapes and finishes nails carefully. Gel and gel extension sets last longer than regular polish, but they need professional removal to protect the natural nail. Bring a photo for nail art, because it helps the technician match your idea, and allow extra time for a pedicure alongside a manicure. Weekends and the lead-up to events are busy, so book ahead, though walk-ins sometimes find a gap. Ask how to look after your nails between visits, as a little cuticle oil goes a long way.
For Shirley and Marshland Road shoppers, it is a convenient place to book manicures and pedicures.
