Holidays are for pampering, so the best nail salons in Bali are the ultimate massage and manicure specialists for your hands, and perfectly pedicure-ready to show your weary feet some love and attention! Visit any of these favourite nail salons across the island for some cuticle lovin’ and colour nail therapy:
AMO, Seminyak
AMO on Jalan Petitenget is the bomb when it comes to manicure and pedicures. They have a separate section for nails with fabulously comfy chairs and best of all, apart form getting a totally professional job, they give a great shoulder massage while your nails are drying. You can also choose from top-drawer brands like MAC, Chanel, Dior and Nars. There’s also AMO Express on Jalan Basangkasa and if leaving your villa just seems too difficult, there’s a mobile service.

The Shampoo Lounge, Seminyak
Don’t let the name fool you! The shampoo lounge doesn’t just do locks, it has an upstairs area where you can get a great mani/pedi. Sir can also indulge in a sports manicure, which is basically all the goodies, without the polish. Our fave treatment is the Hot Stone aromatherapy massage – relax as your feet and legs are pampered, and the treatment includes an OPI polish to ensure they not only feel good, but look good too!

Think Pink Nails, Kuta Utara
There’s a lot to love about Think Pink Nails from the awesome massage chairs, the iPads at the manicure station and the excellent selection of imported magazines. Did we mention the polish selection? Best on the island. Hands down. There’s O.P.I., Nars. Chanel, Tom Ford, Dolce & Gabanna, Laura Mercier and Dior. Need we say more?

Esthetic, Uluwatu
There are three Esthetic’s in Bali, one in downtown Seminyak, one at the Canggu Plaza, and one in Uluwatu. These spas offer everything you could think of to pamper yourself, including a fab nail bar. Our favourite part of the Esthetic nail treatment is the use of the thermal gloves and booties which supposedly help make our nails softer and smoother. Can’t argue with that.
