Lien Lashes & Nails Beauty is a seven-day nail and beauty salon on Gloucester Street in Taradale, Napier — the Taradale branch of a small locally owned group that also runs a salon on Heretaunga Street West in Hastings. Nails are the heart of the menu, running from simple cut-and-trims and mini manicures through full manicures with cuticle work and hand massage, to acrylic full sets and in-fills, SNS dipping powder, builder gel, ombré sets, nail art and dedicated removal services. Pedicures follow the same ladder, from a mini buff-and-polish to the deluxe spa pedicure with back and foot massage, gel/shellac finishes, and the salon's signature jelly spa pedicure. Beyond nails, the salon offers eyelash extensions, hair removal and tinting including eyebrow tinting, and a relaxing head spa treatment. Gift vouchers — valid for six months from purchase — make it an easy gifting choice for manicures, lash sets or any treatment of the recipient's choosing. The Taradale salon opens Monday to Saturday from 9am to 6pm and Sundays from 10am to 5pm, with bookings taken by phone, email or through the website's contact form.
On Gloucester Street in Taradale, Lien Lashes & Nails Beauty has become a go-to spot for Napier locals who want their nails, lashes and brows sorted in one visit. The salon is the Taradale branch of a small, locally owned group that also runs a salon on Heretaunga Street West in Hastings, and it keeps the same broad service list and seven-day-a-week hours — 9am to 6pm Monday to Saturday, and 10am to 5pm on Sundays.
Nails are the heart of the business, and the menu runs from quick maintenance to full transformations. Natural nail care starts with finger nail cut and trims, mini manicures with buff, shape and polish, and a full manicure that adds cuticle work, hand massage and polish. Both manicure levels can be finished in long-wearing gel or shellac.
For clients who want more length or drama, the artificial nail options are extensive: acrylic full sets in normal polish or a classic white tip, acrylic sets finished with gel or shellac, and ombré colour sets, with in-fills to keep a set looking fresh between appointments. Dipping powder fans can choose SNS on natural nails, SNS with tips, or an SNS ombré with tips, while builder gel clients can book full sets on natural or extension nails along with matching in-fills.
The salon also looks after the less glamorous end of nail care: dedicated removal services for SNS, acrylic and gel polish, per-finger nail repairs, and nail art design for anyone who wants their set personalised.
The pedicure side mirrors that range. There are simple toe nail cut and trims and a mini pedicure with buff, shape and polish, stepping up to the deluxe spa pedicure, which adds a back and foot massage to cuticle care, shaping and polish. Gel and shellac versions of the pedicure are on offer, and the salon's standout is the jelly spa pedicure — a treatment given its own page on the salon's website, which can be taken with gel colour.
If you'd rather make an outing of it, combo bookings pair a full spa pedicure with a full manicure, with or without gel, and there's a mini pedi-and-mani-with-gel pairing for a shorter treat.
Despite the name leading with lashes, this is genuinely a multi-service salon. Eyelash extensions are a signature service — and one of the salon's suggested gift voucher treats — while the hair removal and tinting menu covers tinting services including eyebrow tinting. One of the more unexpected additions is the relaxing head spa, a dedicated treatment that has earned its own spot on the service list, ideal alongside a pedicure or as a wind-down on its own.
If you're stuck for a gift, the salon's vouchers let the recipient choose their own treat — the site suggests a manicure, eyelash extensions or eyebrow tinting — and they're valid for six months from the date of purchase.
Booking is straightforward: call the Taradale salon on 06 222 7171 or 022 356 6285, email [email protected], or send a message through the website's contact form. The salon is active on Instagram and Facebook, and its Nail Inspo gallery is worth a scroll before your appointment if you like arriving with a style in mind.
Lien Lashes & Nails Beauty Taradale packs a big-service menu into a neighbourhood salon: manicures and pedicures at every level, acrylics, SNS dipping powder and builder gel, the signature jelly spa pedicure, lash extensions, tinting, hair removal and a relaxing head spa — open seven days on Gloucester Street. Its Hastings sister salon on Heretaunga Street West runs slightly longer hours if you're ever over that way.
