Nails by Kaythy is a beauty salon at 10 Manuka Street in Elgin, Gisborne, working from a name that says exactly what it does: nails. It currently holds a 5.0 rating on Google from its first review.
With nail services, the lasting power of a manicure comes down less to the polish than to the prep — good shaping, tidy cuticle work and clean, sterilised tools are what keep colour looking fresh for the full two to three weeks gel typically wears. Pressing or picking gel off damages the natural nail, so proper removal is worth insisting on. Small owner-operated salons usually work by appointment, so booking ahead rather than walking in is the safe bet. Regulars tend to stay with one technician once they have found someone who shapes nails to suit their hands and daily life.
For those in Elgin and wider Gisborne, a five-star-reviewed nail salon on Manuka Street is a convenient local find.
