Really unfriendly service and seemed annoyed I was there like I was inconveniencing them to do a service they're paid to do. I wanted a shellac pedicure, the water was cold and wasn't deep enough to cover my toes. They neglected to do, my cuticles, dry skin removal, nor the moisturising (which overall isn't a huge part of getting my toes in shape but it's nice to have done). The end result was ok except for a bit of an uneven coating. Was still charged for full pedicure and shellac session. Read Less

Do not go here. I went in for a pedicure and manicure, there was 2 people working. A group of 3 came in 5 minutes after me asking for the same thing. The girl who started doing my feet started getting anxiety and rushing through to get to the people waiting. Nearly 7 minutes after my pedicure started she was doing the cuticles on my toes and cut the 3rd one, I said no worries because it was small and didn’t hurt just a little bit of blood it happens. Then she got to my big toe and I’ll be damned she sliced my toe so deep from rushing the process that blood actually gushed out and I screamed in pain. It was so bad that I couldn’t continue the pedicure. I had to wrap my toe in multiple towels and put my shoes on to leave. As I walked out I said “it’s not a problem, accidents happen just don’t over book people if you don’t have the amount of staff needed to take care of them to avoid her rushing and this happening again” The owners response? “Nobody is rushing I don’t know what you’re talking about” No apology, no offering of anything. Worst nail experience I’ve ever had. I will never go back there again after being a loyal customer for 2 months. Read Less

So, my first experience was 2 stars. I was attended to by a friendly young lady who initially started my acrylic full set. Anyhow, then was taken over by the male technician. At first pleasant then, huffy all because I asked for the tips to be placed higher so for my benefit if the tip does snap it won't tear my own thin nail right off to the edge of the nail bed. He argued, even though it's my choice and is how I've been having my acrylics applied for 15+ years and have had zero issues with other techs. Well, didn't I receive lip service from a 'professional nail tech of, not 15 but,..20 years. Raised brows and a flushed face and very flustered he became. But, placed the tip higher as he could see I wasn't impressed by his manner, and luckily I bit my tongue and not let his rant ruin my vibe. I sat in silence and he huffed occasionally every so often if my wrist or hand was placed too awkwardly for him.. He clearly was just agitated by anything. Anyhow, another lady had walked in and politely said her nail had just 'come off' only days after.... Yes, this should have been a red flag as he became even more agitated that his other tech would now have to attend to the repair free of charge and spoke his language back and fourth with nothing to say to his other customer but bad body language to which she looked at me like she was very embarrassed. And even though I was pleased with his work that day I could sense something was not 100% right but I paid, left and admired my lovely fresh set of nails. However 4 days later they appeared to be lifting, all 10.... to the point they just all fell off and the others I removed effortlessly embarrassed and at a dinner function. So I was back to pay for another full set no complaints thinking maybe a hair product I'd used had softened the nails, thinking it was possibly my fault somehow........ But again now, Another brand new set and another $50 paid.. and just 2 days after a complete new set re applied.... Here I am. Removing the remaining 4 nails hanging by a thread, coming off effortlessly before my job interview. Yes,. Only done Saturday evening and it's now Tuesday. I've had my nails done before, for 15 years and I'm meticulous and gentle to sometimes have even stretched a refill to almost 6 weeks before any lifting or breakage occurs. So,. Dear pearl Nails.... I will not be back ever again. And for future reference, if you're so experienced and professional... Your body language and constant chatter in your own language is quite offensive, rude and clearly...... Your nails speak for themselves. UNPROFESSIONAL. Read Less

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY FOR BAD SERVICE. I had infills done which they ended up drilling 3 of nails to much and left me with throbbing fingers after the treatment, I thought my fingers where just being sensitive and gave it a few days but had to take the acrylics of after a couple of days due to that much pain my nails were in to find 3 of my nails where split and the service during getting them done was really poor and I felt like I was being made to feel very uncomfortable! Bad experience and now I know not to ever go here again. Read Less

Excellent nail salon. I am a regular and can't recommend them enough. I get acrylic nails refilled every couple of weeks and a pedicure. They are excellent at what they do and super fast which I like.

We visited this salon a couple of weeks back but never got to provide a review. We felt that the service was rushed, we were never really given time to choose our nail colours. The lady doing my sister's cuticles was doing it so fast that she made a deep cut. We think that she knew about it but didn't say anything. A few minutes after we left it started bleeding. I would not go back to them. Read Less

Rose fit me in last minute (again!) and gave me an excellent manicure and shellac polish for my birthday. And, 3 weeks later it's still perfect! Going back tomorrow :)

I got a very rushed SNS manicure done and it cracked and lifted on 6 nails after 1 day and they refused to fix them and told me to leave their salon after telling me it was my fault for opening my car door. (I don't even drive and had been on holiday not being hard on them at all) I was willing to pay to have them fixed and that I could wait until someone was available but was embarrassed by their staff by being told they wouldn't serve me.Read Less

Rang at 8:45am & made an appointment for full leg & bikini line wax at 1pm. Arrived around 10 minutes early & staff didn't seem to know why I was there. Explained the appointment was made earlier in the day & was asked to take a seat. Shortly after 1pm a staff member escorted me into the waxing booth & was clearly angry, stressed & overworked indicated by the rude way she interacted with me. I set my boundaries & said I could see she was stressed & overworked but none of that was my fault! She calmed down when I empathised with her situation (no break all morning, huge amount of customers & suffering with hay fever) & for the remainder of the appointment was pleasant and respectful. I feel sorry for staff who are overworked, & no manager should blame them for being rude to clients because they are ovewhelmed with fatigue. Look after your staff & ensure they have breaks.
