Start with the service. Gel and shellac manicures, acrylic and dip-powder extensions, spa pedicures, and intricate nail art are different skills, so check the salon and technician do the look you want well, with photos to back it up.
Hygiene is essential. Look for clean workstations, sterilised or single-use tools and proper ventilation, and read reviews for how long the finish lasts. A good salon takes its time on prep, which is what makes a manicure last.
Think about booking and value, how far ahead to book, walk-in availability, pricing for soak-off and removal, and whether they fit you in for repairs. The right salon gives you a finish that lasts without lifting or chips.
A gel or shellac manicure often runs around $45 to $70, acrylic or dip-powder sets from about $60 to $90, and pedicures from roughly $50. Nail art, removal and repairs may cost extra.
A good gel or shellac manicure typically lasts two to three weeks before regrowth shows. Acrylic and dip sets usually need infills every two to three weeks. Careful prep makes a big difference to longevity.
Yes, at a reputable salon that sterilises tools or uses single-use files, cleans workstations and follows good practice. If anything looks unclean, it is fine to go elsewhere.
No, let the salon soak off or remove the previous set properly, as picking it off can damage your nails. Book in a soak-off or removal when you make your appointment.
Many offer everything from simple French tips to detailed nail art for weddings, balls and events. For intricate designs, book ahead and bring reference photos.
Some Hamilton salons take walk-ins, but booking is safer, especially for sets, removals and busy periods. Online booking is common, so you can pick your technician and time.
