Kiwi Nails & Spa has been in business for three years, offering full nail services; manicure, pedicure, acrylic nails and more to help you achieve well cared for hands and nails you'll love.
Beauty treatments are also part of the spa offerings. Eyelash and eyebrow tinting, waxing and spray tanning are just some of the professional services that manager Hayley Ng and her team can offer clients.
Hayley enjoys being based here on the Shore. “We love being in Takapuna; it has the city vibe without being too overcrowded. It’s great being close to the beach, sometimes we walk down there during breaks.
“It’s exciting to be part of Shore City right now as it’s going through a lot of new changes.”
What’s most popular at the spa changes with the seasons, say Hayley. “We’re doing a lot of manicures at the moment, and dipping powder is taking off amazingly!”
Nail trends vary from year to year; rounded, squared, bright, natural, long, short, acrylic, polished - looks tend to be guided by what’s hot in the fashion and celebrity world. Which are the nail-looks of choice this winter? “Teenage girls are generally coming in for long, coffin-shaped nails at the moment, in pastel colours. The more mature ladies are into short nails, with the maroon reds, purples and nude shades that are really in for this winter.”
Hayley is wearing OPI Tiramisu with dipping powder. “I find it really strong. The product makes my nails stay nice and shiny for at least two weeks. I don’t have to worry about chipping them at all.
Comfort is everything at Kiwi Nails and Spa; the collection of treatment chairs are as relaxing and comfortable as they come. Hayley says: “Our spa chairs are the latest design, with full body massages to customers to relax and enjoy.”
The recent salon refit is fresh and spacious, with a light, calm vibe. Hayley is enjoying her new-look work environment, along with the rest of her qualified, experienced team and looks forward to summer arriving.
“For the coming summer, I’m sure the bright colours will kick in! Readers should come along and see our selection of hundreds of shades for themselves and find the look they love.”
