Best places: Nail salons in Cork, Ireland

😠 I went here to get my eyebrows threaded and got told that threading is “for old people”. This is offensive, and isn’t the case at all as many South Asian and Irish girls in their 20’s swear by eyebrow threading and achieve such a lovely, sharp, clean-cut look with it. When used properly, threading i...

🫤 I got an appointment on Tuesday evening for a manicure. I can't recommend to book close to their closing time cause I felt the rush. The staff also gathered next to my table and it seems like they were waiting. I couldn't relax at all. The technician was very nice and I liked my nails as she finishe...

😠 I had booked for a wash, cut and blow dry for my birthday. I was nervous as I had not been to a salon in years. I had my appointment confirmed via phone. Hair was washed, and straight to blow dry. A number of times my hair was wrapped around and stuck to the brush. The girl who was drying my hair di...

🫤 I went this place as I got it recommend but it was a total fiasco. The staff are very unfriendly. I went to get my nails done for a wedding hoping for french in pastel colours but I was told they couldn't change the colour. The woman keep shrugging and had an uninterested actitud. I asked for advice...

👍👍 Kathleen is amazing! Her application of the rapid tan made it THE BEST & LONGEST LASTING natural looking tan I have ever had & that's saying something! Kathleen's knowledge & fabulous manner made the whole experience a pleasure. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for a spray tan to go to...

👍👍 This was my second time getting waxed at your establishment in blackrock. The beautician I received my treatment was very friendly and professional. The waxing experience was amazing. She was very thorough and quick and it was as painless as waxing can be. I was so impressed and had a really lovely...

👍 Bring time and money! Went there on a Saturday with an appointment for manicure and a proper barber job. Success! The barber services are impressive, great haircut, beard trim, shave and hot towel treatment plus massage of hands, arms and shoulders. A very relaxing experience that doesn't compare to...

😠 I was hopeful that this salon would be as good as others around Cork but I'm really disappointed with the quality of the service. I got shellac less than a week ago and already a few nails are chipped at the top. This never happens to me with Shellac and I always get 2/3 weeks wear out of it with ze...

👍👍 I'm always carefully when it comes to hairdresser cause I had a few "accidents" in the past. I was a bit nervous but I felt in good hands with Fiona. She was patient and explained things twice when I couldn't understand it since English isn't my first language. I absolutely love my haircut it looks...

👍👍 I went to Aishling as my nails are very thin, soft, and broke. She recommended to stabilize my nails with BIAB, and I was lucky enough that I was able to see her due to a cancellation. Aishling is lovely, and she works precise and fast. She even prepped up my French Nails with a little design. I can...

👍👍 Veronica just did my shellac and am very happy. Nice and efficient and gorgeous bright clean salon.

👍👍 Had a great service today by fabulous staff. Booked three appointments and all flowed nicely. Sarah is definitely a credit to the team - bikini wax was unbelievably pain-free. Delighted with my hair and makeup also. Would definitely recommend 👌

😠 My daughter saved all her money only to be talked out of, or rather bullied out of doing the colour of her choice. The result was so bad that she asked them to change it. She was in that chair for over 6 hrs and they blamed her for “changing her mind”which never happened. Her scalp was coming off i...

👍👍 Sonia and the rest of the staff were absolutely lovely. Their perm treatment, haircut, and other treatments were all very professionally done. They also promised me a free trim after a month or two as my hair tends to grow in weird ways 😂 Sonia explained everything patiently before stating the tre...

👍👍 The staff are very experienced and talented. I've gone to cheaper places before and had bad extensions where they've broken after a few days or my nails were damaged afterwards. I went to Kornelia who is lovely and got my nails exactly how I wanted. I got acrylic extensions with gel polish which are...

👍👍 The girls at Mirror Mirror know that the salon is one of my favourite places to be. I have been lucky enough to have nearly all the girls transform my hair at some stage and each time it’s been a hair adventure. From blonde to brunette to pink to red, each request for change has been met with excite...

😠 Avoid, avoid, avoid! Arrived on time for a shellac french nail polish. Was told by the assistant that i was booked in for a colour shellac and that she would not do the French as it is an 'add on' due to time restrictions. I definitely booked a french. She also wrongly accused me of being late.

😐 All the hairdressers of the salon are great but it is just me noticing that they use not reusable or washable or recyclable plastic to cover you, and now they don’t even use proper towel anymore but again something they can put directly to the bin after one usage. So I would say good salon but I wai...
