Island Beauty Waiheke is a nail and beauty salon in Onetangi on Waiheke Island, run by owner-operator Charlotte Edwardes, who works in-clinic or on location at venues and accommodation, with a focus on weddings, special occasions, and organic, natural treatments. She has more than 15 years' experience, and the salon holds a 5.0 Google rating. A good nail salon is judged as much on hygiene as on the finished look — sterilised tools, single-use files, and a therapist who checks the state of your natural nails first. Gel and shellac-style finishes typically last two to three weeks, but they need proper removal rather than peeling, which strips the nail. Regulars know to book ahead for summer and wedding season, when salons in popular spots fill fast. With a clinic in Onetangi and a mobile service that travels to wedding venues, Island Beauty Waiheke suits locals and visitors alike.
