Booking & Appointments

I searched for nails near me and found you. Do you cover my area?

{{ signs.26 }}

Very likely. Because we are a mobile nail bar, we come to you rather than you coming to a salon, so you are not limited to whatever is closest. We travel across Sandton, Randburg, Roodepoort and the suburbs around them. Send your suburb on WhatsApp and we will confirm coverage and the travel fee straight away.

How do I book an appointment?

{{ signs.0 }}

Message us on WhatsApp with the service you want, your preferred date and time, and your suburb. We reply with availability, the price and the travel fee in one message, and the slot is confirmed from there.

What are your operating hours?

{{ signs.1 }}

Monday to Friday 8:00 to 19:00, Saturday 8:00 to 17:00, and Sunday by arrangement. Early-morning and evening slots are often available for clients who work standard office hours.

How far in advance should I book?

{{ signs.2 }}

A week's notice is comfortable for most slots. Roodepoort and the suburbs closest to our base often have same-week availability, while Saturdays and month-end fill up faster.

Can I book for more than one person?

{{ signs.3 }}

Yes. Bridal parties, birthdays, baby showers and office afternoons are done back to back at one address. Tell us the headcount and the time window and we will build the schedule around it.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

{{ signs.4 }}

Let us know on WhatsApp as early as you can and we will move the slot. Because we travel to you, late cancellations are harder to fill, so as much notice as possible is appreciated.

Mobile Service

What does a mobile nail appointment mean?

{{ signs.5 }}

A qualified nail technician comes to your home, office, hotel room or venue with everything needed: portable table, professional LED lamp, sterilised tools, and the full range of gels, acrylics and colours.

What do I need to provide?

{{ signs.6 }}

A table or counter with two chairs and a nearby plug point. For pedicures, access to warm water. We bring the basin, towels, tools and products.

How long does setup take?

{{ signs.7 }}

About ten minutes from arrival to starting your service. Packing up at the end takes a similar amount of time.

Which areas do you travel to?

{{ signs.8 }}

Sandton, Randburg, Roodepoort and the suburbs around them, including Bryanston, Lonehill, Dainfern, Ferndale, Linden, Honeydew, Weltevreden Park and more. See our Areas We Serve page for the full list, or send your suburb on WhatsApp.

Can you get into a security estate?

{{ signs.9 }}

Yes. Add us to your visitors list with our vehicle details, or arrange for the guard house to expect us at your booked time. Let us know in advance so we can allow for gate access.

What happens during load shedding?

{{ signs.10 }}

We check the schedule when booking and plan around it where possible. We also bring our own lighting, and our LED curing lamp can run on backup power.

Services & Treatments

What services do you offer?

{{ signs.11 }}

Acrylic, builder gel and polygel sets, soft gel tips, sculpting, gel and acrylic overlays, deluxe manicures and pedicures, buffing, nail fixes and reinforcement, plus nail art, chrome and 3D sculpting.

Should I choose gel or acrylic?

{{ signs.12 }}

Gel is thinner and more flexible, which usually suits naturally soft or thin nails. Acrylic is harder and holds length and shape better. We advise on the day based on the condition of your nails and how you use your hands.

Can you recreate a design I have seen?

{{ signs.13 }}

Yes. Send the reference picture on WhatsApp before your appointment so we can confirm the pricing and bring the right colours and tools.

Do you do children's nails?

{{ signs.14 }}

Yes, shorter services suited to children are available. Mention the age when booking so we can allow the right amount of time.

Do you offer services for men?

{{ signs.15 }}

Yes. A buff-only or deluxe manicure without colour is a regular booking.

Pricing & Payment

How much do your services cost?

{{ signs.16 }}

A full acrylic, builder gel or polygel set is R500, soft gel tips are R430, sculpting is R450 and overlays are R280. Deluxe manicures run from R300 and deluxe pedicures from R300. The full breakdown is on our Price List page.

How does the travel fee work?

{{ signs.17 }}

A travel fee is added based on your distance from our base in Roodepoort. It is always quoted on WhatsApp and confirmed before the booking is made, so there is never a surprise on the day.

How much does nail art cost?

{{ signs.18 }}

Art is priced per nail rather than per set: hand-painted art from R10 per nail, chrome from R5 per nail and 3D sculpting from R15 per nail. A single accent nail costs very little.

Is it cheaper to book a manicure and pedicure together?

{{ signs.19 }}

Booking both in one visit means one travel fee instead of two, so yes, it works out better than two separate appointments.

Do you offer a discount for new clients?

{{ signs.20 }}

Yes, first-time clients get 20% off their first mobile nail appointment. Mention code WELCOME20 when you message us.

Nail Care & Hygiene

How long will my nails last?

{{ signs.21 }}

Gel and acrylic on hands typically last two to three weeks before regrowth becomes noticeable. Gel on toes lasts longer, usually four to six weeks, because toenails grow more slowly.

How do you handle hygiene?

{{ signs.22 }}

Implements are sterilised between every client and come out of the sterilisation pouch in front of you. Files and buffers are single-use and thrown away after your appointment. Nothing is reused between clients.

Will gel or acrylic damage my natural nails?

{{ signs.23 }}

Not when applied and removed correctly. Almost all damage comes from picking or peeling a set off. Book a proper soak-off instead, which we can do at the start of your next appointment.

What should I do if a nail breaks between appointments?

{{ signs.24 }}

Message us. A single nail fix is R20 and reinforcement is R20, which is far cheaper and quicker than replacing the whole set.

How should I look after my nails between visits?

{{ signs.25 }}

Use cuticle oil daily, wear gloves for cleaning and washing up, and avoid using your nails as tools. These three habits make the biggest difference to how long a set lasts.
