Spending anywhere from RMB100-400 for a manicure or pedicure session, your visits are indeed costing you precious pampering bucks. It’s no wonder that the industry is worth billions, and growing too. However, to keep you coming back for more, nail salons often cut corners to keep costs down. And not to totally frighten you, but what is supposed to be a pamper fest for your hands and feet could turn into a nightmare if you’re not careful — think of fungal nail infections or skin-eating diseases. Whilst it’s not exactly commonplace, it could happen to anyone, especially if a salon uses tools that are not clean, have bad sanitization practices or hire insufficiently trained nail technicians.

Enter Nail Culture, a one-stop for upscale beauty services that include nails, waxing and plenty more. Don’t let the name fool you; there is more than just manicures and pedicures on offer. Nail Culture’s intention is to ensure attention to detail, from their clean and luxurious products and attractive environment to their superbly skilled technicians and cutting edge in-salon technology. 

But what makes Nail Culture truly stand out are those little things that matter, like how they run the polish around the edges to ensure your entire nail is sealed, or how they roll bottles of nail polish between their hands to eradicate and prevent air bubbles. Everyone knows that if you paint air bubbles onto nails, they'll chip much faster. 

The towels are plush, the chairs are comfortable and the space is calm and tranquil. There’s warm tea too, served by an attentive receptionist who will also hand you an iPad to choose your preferred treatments. Time is taken to ensure that you are satisfied with your choices; after all, this is meant to be a relaxing, elevated and peaceful experience.

In fact, we’d even go as far as to say that they’ve nailed the fine art of pampering, and that, folks, is no easy feat.

It's the second salon since hosts Ariana and Rowley returned to China after a brief stint in the US.

Here are the places where expats who speak little to no Chinese can get a haircut without fear.
