Fabulous Beauty — also known to locals as Fabulous Nails & Beauty — is a beauty salon on The Square in the heart of Palmerston North's CBD, describing itself as a place in Palmy CBD for your beauty, with services tailored to your lifestyle. The menu covers nails, eyelashes, waxing and, newest of all, Japanese head spa treatments.
Nails are at the heart of the salon: classic manicures and pedicures sit alongside gel, BIAB, acrylic, SNS dipping powder and nail extensions, plus bold and unique designs from the in-house nail artists. Everything is done with high-quality products and techniques chosen to keep nails healthy and robust as well as beautiful, and ingrown toenail care is also offered in a proper salon setting. Lash extensions come in natural, subtle or bold styles, with lash lifts, eyebrow tinting and threading available too, and hair waxing completing the line-up.
The team — including Kim Nguyen, Quang Mai, Lisa Pun and Parwana Rezai — prides itself on a caring consultation, listening to what each client wants and tailoring the service in a welcoming, relaxing atmosphere. Appointments can be booked online with a saving on the day's booking, gift cards are available in salon or online with no registration needed, and Google reviewers regularly praise the friendly service, skilled work and reasonable prices.
Fabulous Beauty — known to many locals as Fabulous Nails & Beauty — sits on The Square in the middle of Palmerston North's CBD. Their pitch is simple: a place in Palmy CBD for your beauty, covering nails, eyelashes, waxing and, most recently, Japanese head spa treatments. It is a salon built around the idea that small rituals — a fresh set of nails, a lash refill, a soothing scalp treatment — can change how the rest of your week feels.
Nails are the heart of the salon. The team offers classic manicures and pedicures alongside gel, BIAB, acrylic, SNS dipping powder and nail extensions, with nail artists on hand for bold and unique designs. Whether you are after a quick touch-up or a full-on nail transformation, the technicians work from high-quality products and techniques chosen to keep nails not just good-looking but healthy and robust. Bring in a reference photo — as one recent Google reviewer did — and the team will work from it; her verdict: the nails came out amazing. Ingrown toenail care is also available, treated properly in a salon setting.
Eyelashes are the second pillar. Lash extensions come in natural, subtle or bold styles, from classic sets to fuller looks, while lash lifts offer a lower-maintenance option for those who prefer to work with their own lashes. Eyebrow tinting rounds out the eye menu, threading is available for precise brow shaping, and hair waxing completes the services — described by the salon itself as a total transformation.
The salon's newest addition is a Japanese head spa, described as an elevated experience with remarkable results. It has quickly found fans: one Google reviewer called a recent visit a brilliant experience, from the Japanese head spa to eyebrow tinting, and recommends the combination to others. For the curious, the salon's blog explores the soothing benefits of the treatment and what to expect.
Fabulous Beauty's stylists include Kim Nguyen (nails and eyelashes specialist), Quang Mai (pedicurist), Lisa Pun (hair and threading stylist) and Parwana Rezai (nail artist). The salon describes its FABULOUS TEAM as young, active and skilled, with customer service as the first priority. Every visit starts with a caring consultation — listening to your needs and preferences, then tailoring the service to you — and the stated aim is high-quality, personalised work in a relaxing, inviting atmosphere, keeping up to date with the latest trends and using the best products and equipment.
The team also shares what it knows. The salon's blog covers practical topics such as the top tips for healthy nails and cuticles, an ultimate guide to eyelash extensions with aftercare advice, the best ways to look after nail extensions, and even a warning about the hidden dangers of low-cost MMA acrylic treatments. That willingness to educate fits the salon's consultative style — the goal is nails and lashes that stay healthy long after you leave the chair.
Appointments can be made through the salon's online booking system, and booking online saves up to 10% on the day's booking. Walk-in enquiries are welcome too — you can call the salon on 06 356 4879. Gift cards are available in salon or online with no registration needed, making them an easy gift for anyone in Palmy who deserves a bit of pampering.
Google reviewers back up the promise: customers describe lovely service and a fantastic job at reasonable prices. Between the central CBD location, the wide service menu and a team that takes the time to listen, Fabulous Beauty has become a dependable regular stop for Palmerston North locals keeping their nails, lashes and brows in shape — and, lately, a place to properly unwind with a head spa.
