Smart Nails Studio — Local services in Kaipātiki

UPDATE - Nov 2025: I'm on my 5th manicure from Elena. Each one has been incredible....today's mani looks even better than the photo I brought in! She is so meticulous, truly an artist who cares about her work. I always look forward to my monthly sessions with her!

Post from August 2025: Elena is a magician! I came to her with extremely short nails, looking for a miracle to help break my lifelong biting habit…..and she delivered!! I have had negative experiences in the past, with nail techs openly judging and condemning me for letting my nails get so bad. Not only did Elena support me for coming in, but she rose to the challenge, giving me hard gel extensions…and for the first time in decades I could see a nail peeking over the tips of my fingers. I left feeling like a new woman!

It’s now been four weeks, and other than my natural growth at the bottom, they still look PERFECT. No chips, no jagged edges - still as strong and sleek as when I left the salon.

I’ve been getting my nails done by Elena since 2020 when she used to have a little home studio. I’ve been her faithful client for four years now and safely Smart Nails studio is unmatched.

I recently visited a nail salon and was truly impressed. The salon is beautifully clean, with a warm and friendly atmosphere. Kseniya (technitian) did an impeccable job on my manicure; her special technique gave my nails a stunning shape that looks like pearls. I couldn't be happier, and I give this place a solid 5 stars.

Thank you, Elena (business owner), for creating such a cozy spot. Very easy to find parking, just few steps Birkenhead mall parking. From the moment I arrived, I was treated with care and offered tea and coffee while enjoying a relaxed conversation. I left feeling rejuvenated and delighted with my well-groomed hands. Although it took some time, good quality manicure takes more then 30 min, I know this manicure will last long. I will...
