Nailed It! The 5 Best Nail Techs in Adelaide

LK Salon Nails & Beauty is a great choice for those on a budget because their nail design package starts at $50. It has many inclusions such as multi-coating, airbrushing, and accessories. 

The stones they use for nail work come in many colors and styles. They use many techniques for nail design, including shellac, marble nails, SNS ombre, SNS glow-in-the-dark, stone nails, and more. 

Many past clients also compliment their nail technicians for their clean work. They are also pleasant to talk to.

In relation to this, many have complimented them for being open to ideas for creative designs. One said that they were able to follow her specific nail design instructions to match her wedding’s color palette given on a short notice.

That said, a downside with them is that there’s always a long line at the shop. It’s best to call them in advance to make sure you get a slot.

In relation to this, the waiting lounge and the shop itself is small. 

Deera Spa & Beauty is especially recommendable if you’ll have your nail polish along with pampering services. They provide massages, facials, spray tans, make-up, and more. 

A great thing about their nail polish is that many clients say that it lasts for more than 2 weeks; it doesn’t chip easily. 

They can apply SNS nails, structured gel nails, and refills for acrylics. 

In addition, their shop is very well-maintained and hygienic. It’s always kept cozy and quiet through its warm lighting, comfortable furniture set-up, and relaxing music. 

Also, their fees aren’t bad either. Their structure gel and shellac starts at $50. 

It’s also easy to use their website to book a slot because of its intuitive design. 

If there’s a downside to them, however, one is that their designs are plain. They’re not the choice for creative and colorful nail looks. 

Another downside is that their slots are usually fully booked. 

Suburban Nails & Beauty is a great choice for those looking for colorful and kooky designs. Their nail technicians are receptive to design suggestions such as palettes and themes. 

It’s notable that their lead technicians have over 20 years of combined experience. They have complete certifications in beauty therapy and nail technology too. 

They have one of the largest sets of nail services offered. 

You can add buffing, manicure, and pedicure with the shellac treatment. For their SNS nail enhancements, you can add French tips and ombre coloring. 

They have an excellent track record with the durability of their nail work. Past customers said that their nails lasted for at least a couple of weeks. 

In addition, it’s great how professional and friendly the team is. Many clients specifically praise how they keep the atmosphere relaxed and their shop well maintained. 

If there’s anything they can improve, one is increasing their available slots. Their shop is often full, especially on weekends. 

Also, they’ve had cases of abruptly canceling appointments of clients.

The Nail Bar Beauty & Co. is an overall excellent choice for nail polishing and design.

First, their work is durable; many past clients said that their nail work lasted for at least two weeks.

Next, they’re great at creating designs that follow clients’ preferences such as patterns, shapes, and specific colors. By offering both acrylic nail and dip powder nails, their nail techs have more options to match the design you prefer. 

They’re also excellent for those who want a complete pampering service, as they provide exfoliation and massage as part of their Deluxe Manicure set. 

Their shop is also very well-designed and spacious. The space where you’ll get the nail services is clean and comfortable too. 

In terms of downsides, one is that their fees are pricey. Also, they’ve received complaints for having staff members that are unwelcoming.

Starfingers Unley has the advantage of having more than 30 years providing nail care in Adelaide. Their staff also has more than 80 years of combined experience.

When it comes to the quality of products used, the shop is especially recommended, as they only use CND, Mancine, and O.P.I. Mancine, in particular, is known for its long-lasting quality.

The acrylic nails they apply can last for as long as three weeks, according to past clients, which is more than the average of around two. 

Their past work also shows that they have a great eye for design.

They’re also notable when it comes to their strict sanitation protocols. After every client, tools are disinfected using pedi tub liners.

In addition, their shop has a very convenient location in Unley Road. It’s also large and comfortable. 

That said, a minor downside is that they’re closed on Sundays. It’s disappointing given that most nail salons in Adelaide are open on weekends. 

Also, we wish their website had a feature for booking a reservation like most nail salons in the city do.
