Best Japanese Gel Salons
Japanese gel uses specialist gel polish formulations from Japanese brands including Para Gel, Presto Gel and Leafgel. These gels are thinner, more flexible and gentler on the natural nail than most western formulations, with a soak-off system that minimises damage on removal. Japanese gel salons are typically among the highest-rated for intricate nail art due to the precision the technique demands.
34 salons across all cities
What to expect
Japanese gel appointments follow a similar process to standard gel manicures but with finer, more detailed application. Nail art is a particular strength — technicians trained in Japanese gel methods tend to specialise in hand-painted designs, 3D art and delicate detail work.
