At Gloss Salon, health and hygiene are paramount. We prefer to offer dry manicure services that do not soak your hands or feet, why? Because services like this leave you exposed to potentially dangerous bacteria and infections which can cause long-term nail damage. We use a combination of single-use items and reusable tools where appropriate. All tools and surfaces are sterilised and disinfected using hospital-grade products between clients for your safety.
Each service is tailored to your needs and lifestyle, giving everything you need and nothing you don't. Your nails will be prepped using industry best practice procedures, including high-end dry manicure preparation with diamond-coated tools, this ensures that your nails are kept healthy and strong while maintaining the integrity of your polish or enhancement so that it lasts!

MEET JESS
Hi, I'm Jess
I'm all about making you feel beautiful through the little canvases at the tips of your fingers and toes, or the brows and lashes that frame your face. Gloss Salon is dedicated to ensuring you feel special, are looked after and you leave mesmerised by your new nails, brows or lashes.
I am a certified Nail Technician, Luxury Manicurist and Brow & Lash Stylist. I firmly believe that nobody is ever 'fully qualified', as there is always something new to learn and perfect with training being an ongoing process. I chose to train with Monaco Nail Academy for nails and Inspired Beauty in brows and lashes, both are known for their excellent technical professional training and I continue to grow and develop under their guidance with new products and techniques as courses become available.
I am also proud to be the Monaco Nail Academy Junior Mentor for the Northland region.
Come and visit my stunning salon in the heart of Mangawhai Village and experience the Gloss treatment for yourself.
