TB.Beauty23 is a nail salon at 40 Ward Street in Raetihi, in the Ruapehu district, and holds a perfect 5.0 Google rating from a single review.
A good nail salon is judged on hygiene and finish: tools sterilised between clients, files and buffers fresh, and a tidy station before you sit down. Gel polish is the everyday favourite because it wears for two to three weeks without chipping, though it needs proper curing under a lamp and patient soaking-off rather than peeling, which tears the nail plate. In small towns booking ahead matters, as salons often run by appointment and fill up around weekends and holidays. Bringing a photo of the shape and colour you want saves a lot of explaining.
For Raetihi locals, a well-rated nail salon on Ward Street means no trip to a bigger centre for tidy, well-kept nails.
