We’re not sure if it’s just us, but there’s nothing that makes us feel more powerful or in control of our lives than a fresh set of nails. Whether you’re holiday bound, have a special event or just need a little pick me up, there are so many wildly talented nail artists around Perth/Boorloo ready to work their magic.
At Urban List, we're not ashamed to splurge on a little mid-week mani and have spent plenty of time finding the salons people can't stop raving about. Here are the best nail salons in Perth.

House Of Ten
Applecross
We are utterly obsessed with pretty much everything House Of Ten does, and for good reason.

The designs of Kustom Klaws have to be seen to be believed.

Pastel psychedelic swirls and sparkly glitter tips? We’re here for it. Studio 98 located inside The Pink House has very quickly gained quite the cult following thanks to creator Ciara’s intricate webs of design and to-die-for colour combos set to grab you endless compliments at cocktail hour.
