Hollywood Nails is Bay of Plenty's popular nail and beauty salon, and its Bayfair branch sits right in the heart of Mount Maunganui at Shop 311, Bayfair Shopping Centre. The team's promise is simple: beautiful nails, effortlessly you. Using the latest nail technology, talent and techniques, they deliver exquisite, relaxing manicures and pedicures — and gorgeous nails you'll be proud to show off.
Nails are the heart of the menu, with SNS dipping powder, acrylic, gel and powder gel nails all on offer alongside classic manicure and pedicure treatments. If you want extra strength, ask about SNS dipping: it's stronger than gel or acrylic and doesn't damage your natural nails. Clients regularly praise the precision on display — 'perfectionists, with filing, painting, just everything', as one happy regular puts it.
The pampering doesn't stop at your fingertips. The salon offers comprehensive waxing for both men and women, cosmetic tattooing for brows, lips and eyes (including microblading), a wide range of eyelash extensions from classic to hybrid, and professional teeth whitening for a brighter, lasting smile. There are fun nail parties for groups of friends, and gift vouchers for spoiling someone special.
Everything at Hollywood Nails is centred around you — the team wants every visit to feel relaxing, enjoyable and a little bit special.
Hollywood Nails has built its name as one of the Bay of Plenty's most popular nail and beauty salons, and the Bayfair branch puts that reputation right in the heart of Mount Maunganui. You'll find the salon at Shop 311 inside Bayfair Shopping Centre on Girven Road — an easy stop whether you're mid-shopping trip, heading to or from the beach, or carving out a pocket of self-care in a busy week.
The salon's tagline says it all: beautiful nails, effortlessly you. Everything here is centred around the client. The team uses the latest nail technology, talent and techniques to create manicures and pedicures that feel genuinely indulgent, in a setting designed to make your visit relaxing, enjoyable and a little bit special. It's a polish-pamper-perfect formula that keeps locals coming back.
Hollywood Nails serves the Bay from two locations across Mount Maunganui and Pāpāmoa, with Bayfair the handy central stop for Mount locals. That popularity isn't accidental — the whole experience is shaped around your comfort, not the clock.
Nails are the heart of the menu. The team works across SNS dipping powder, acrylic, gel and powder gel nails, alongside classic manicure and pedicure services — so whether you're after a natural tidy-up or a full set of show-stopping length, there's an option to suit.
If extra strength is what you're after, the team often steers clients towards SNS dipping powder. It's stronger than gel or acrylic and, importantly, it doesn't damage your natural nails — a big part of why it's such a popular choice.
The finish is where this salon really earns its reputation. Client Jihyeon Gong praises the 'attention to detail and flawless finishing' as 'better than any nail technician I've ever been to', while Keanna Ward calls the team 'perfectionists, with filing, painting, just everything'. Meticulous work is clearly the house standard.
The pampering extends well past your fingertips. There's comprehensive waxing for both men and women, delivered by a gentle, thoughtful team who are happy to guide you on looking after your skin between appointments. For anyone wanting longer-lasting definition or colour, cosmetic tattooing covers lips, eyebrows and eyeliner, with microblading among the options. Lash lovers can choose from a wide range of eyelash extensions, from classic through to hybrid, and there's professional teeth whitening that delivers real, lasting results for your smile.
Fancy turning it into an occasion? The team hosts nail parties — a fun, memorable salon session for you and your friends, perfect for birthdays, celebrations or simply an excuse to get the group together. And if you're hunting for a gift, a Hollywood Nails voucher is a crowd-pleasing way to spoil someone special with permission to unwind, indulge and walk out feeling polished and confident.

You can phone the salon on 07 572 2586 to arrange a booking, with a second Hollywood Nails at Golden Sands in Pāpāmoa if you're closer to the beach side of the Bay.
Whether it's a fresh SNS set, a pre-holiday wax, new lashes or simply an hour of well-earned pampering, Hollywood Nails Bayfair delivers meticulous, detail-obsessed work in a setting that never feels rushed — beauty, effortlessly you.
