In Papanui, Christchurch, Cherry Blossom Nails is a private nail studio run by Tayla, offering a full range of manicure, gel and nail enhancement services in a relaxed, personal setting.
Tayla describes her work as being driven by a passion for creating beautiful and healthy nails, paired with a commitment to an exceptional, pampering experience. Whether a client wants a simple, elegant design or something bold and creative, the focus is on turning that vision into reality, with cleanliness, hygiene and quality products treated as a priority at every appointment.
Cherry Blossom Nails offers Builder Gel, also known as BIAB — a durable gel enhancement applied over the natural nail to add shape, structure and support for longer, stronger nails. For those after a different feel, Polygel Extensions offer a hybrid option, combining the texture of gel with the strength of acrylics, while staying lightweight and flexible for a more natural feel. Both are available with ombré or backfill options to keep nails looking fresh over time.
Alongside enhancements, the studio offers classic manicures and Gel Polish Manicures, which give a long-lasting, chip-resistant finish. Clients with existing gel or enhancements can also book gel removals, biab infills, and polygel backfills to maintain their nails between full appointments.
Nail art is offered at three levels — basic, intermediate and advanced — so clients can choose a level of detail that suits their budget and vision. If a client is unsure which level their desired design falls into, Tayla asks that they send through their ideas ahead of time so she can advise before booking.
Cherry Blossom Nails asks for at least 48 hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling, with fees applying for shorter notice or no-shows. While services are non-refundable, Tayla asks clients to raise any concerns at the time of their appointment so adjustments can be made. Enhancements and gel polish manicures come with a 72-hour guarantee against chips or lifting (excluding breakages or deliberate removal), with free repairs offered within that window.
Reviews highlight Tayla's attentiveness, professionalism and nail art skills, with clients describing her as welcoming, flexible, and easy to work with when booking appointments, and praising how well their nails hold up between visits.
