Orris Nail Spa

About Orris Nail Spa

Orris Nail Spa is a dedicated nail studio in Prebbleton, on Christchurch's southwestern edge, built around a simple goal: solving whatever is bothering you about your nails while delivering a finish you are happy to show off. The team says it plainly — if you have requirements for quality and aesthetics, this is the place for you, and your satisfaction is their greatest pursuit.

The service menu is genuinely comprehensive. Sculpture gel enthusiasts can book full sets, infills and overlays, while acrylic wearers are covered for full sets, infills and quick fixes. Beyond extensions, there is a full ladder of manicures and pedicures, from a simple cut and shape through spa treatments with soaks, cuticle care and massage, up to Full Care rituals that add exfoliating scrubs, moisture hand masks and special heel treatments.

Nail art is a real focus too, with classic French, chrome and cat-eye finishes on the menu alongside bespoke designs. Families are well looked after, with a dedicated kids' menu covering everything from a quick colour for under-tens to mini spa pedicures for under-twelves. Bookings can be made online, and the salon shares its work on Instagram.

Orris Nail Spa: Sculpture Gel, Acrylic and Spa Pedicures in Prebbleton, Christchurch

Tucked into Unit 5 at 563 Springs Road in Prebbleton, just south of Christchurch, Orris Nail Spa is a dedicated nail studio with a clear philosophy: provide the best possible service and actually solve the problems you have with your nails. The team puts customer satisfaction front and centre — it is described as their greatest pursuit — and if quality and aesthetics matter to you, this is a salon that has been set up with exactly that in mind.

A Full Menu of Nail Services

The backbone of the menu is sculpted nail extensions. **Sculpture gel** services run from a full set of gel extensions through to overlays over the natural nail, with infills priced differently depending on whether you return within three weeks or stretch it a little longer. Existing builder gel can be removed ahead of a new set, so you can move from one style to the next in a single visit.

Acrylic lovers are equally well catered for, with full sets finished in gel, infills and overlays, and even a speedy acrylic fix if a nail lets you down between appointments. That flexibility — the ability to drop in for a ten-minute repair rather than a whole new set — is one of the practical touches regulars appreciate.

Manicures and Pedicures With Real Care

For natural nails, the manicure ladder starts with a straightforward cut and shape and climbs to genuinely pampering treatments. The **Spa Manicure** includes a hand soak, nail shaping, cuticle care and hand lotion worked in with a massage, finished with your choice of polish — or none at all. The **Full Care Manicure** goes further, layering in an exfoliating scrub, an intensive moisture hand mask and a relaxing oil massage.

Pedicures follow the same logic. The Spa Pedicure combines a foot spa with shaping, buffing, cuticle care, a callus remover and a relaxing massage, while the Full Care Pedicure adds a special heel treatment and exfoliating scrub for feet that need extra attention. Gel polish versions of both are available, and a reinforcing layer of clear builder gel can be added over gel colour for extra strength.

Nail Art and Finishing Touches

Artwork is treated as part of the service, not an afterthought. Classic **French**, **chrome** and **cat-eye** finishes are all on the menu, alongside custom **Nail Art** you can plan with your technician. Whether you want a timeless French tip or something more individual, the salon treats the design stage as part of the appointment.

Bringing the Kids

Orris Nail Spa is unusually family-friendly for a nail studio. There is a dedicated kids' menu covering polish colour for children under ten, and proper mini treatments for under-twelves — including a **Kids Spa Pedicure** with foot spa, shaping, buffing and cuticle care, finished with normal polish or cuticle oil and moisture foot cream. Gel options are available for kids' hands and toes too, making it easy for parents and children to book side by side.

Planning Your Visit

The salon is home to a small team of technicians — Sarah S, Alina Lee, Xixi Z and Terrence Huang — and bookings are made online, where you can choose the team member you would like to see. Orris Nail Spa opens seven days a week: from 10am to 5pm on Mondays and Sundays, 9am to 6pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, and with later 7pm closes on Thursdays and Fridays for after-work appointments.

One practical note before you book: gel polish removal is not included in the quick shape-and-polish services, so if you are arriving with existing gel and not having a new set, choose one of the dedicated removal options — both come with a tidy-up including cut, shape, buff, cuticle oil and lotion. You can keep up with the salon's latest work on Instagram at @orris.nail.spa, or simply book in and see the results for yourself.

Frequently asked questions

How do I book an appointment at Orris Nail Spa?

Bookings can be made online through the salon's Timely booking page, where you can also choose your preferred technician, or by calling 03 344 1600.

Can I get my gel or acrylic removed without having a new set?

Yes. Alongside removal options that pair with a new set, there are standalone 'removal with tidy' services for gel and for acrylic or sculpture gel, which include cut, shape, buff, cuticle oil and lotion.

Do you offer treatments for children?

Yes. The kids' menu includes polish colour for under-10s and mini spa pedicures for under-12s, with both normal and gel polish options.

What is the difference between the Spa and Full Care treatments?

Full Care treatments add an exfoliating scrub and an intensive moisture hand mask for manicures, or a special heel treatment for pedicures, on top of the spa routine of soak, shaping, cuticle care and massage.

Is gel polish removal included with a shape and polish service?

No. Gel polish removal is not included in the shape and polish services, so book a removal option separately if you are arriving with existing gel.

Where is the salon and when is it open?

Orris Nail Spa is at Unit 5, 563 Springs Road, Prebbleton, Christchurch. It is open seven days: 10am-5pm Monday and Sunday, 9am-6pm Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday, and 9am-7pm Thursday and Friday.

How often should I come back for a sculpture gel infill?

The menu distinguishes between infills within three weeks and over three weeks, so plan a maintenance visit roughly every three weeks to keep extensions in good shape.
