Self-Care's take

Why book
this room.

De Best Nails is the Barkly Street walk-in nail and lash room for Shellac, builder gel, acrylic, SNS, Gel-X, tinting, brow shape and female and male waxing. Lash extensions are classic, Russian volume and hybrid, by booking only. Walk-ins are welcomed. Appointments are preferred after 5pm, with the last chair aimed about 30 minutes before close. Standard hours close 6pm Saturday to Wednesday and 7pm Thursday and Friday. A summer note mentions Monday to Sunday, so confirm before you travel rather than inventing a second grid. Group bookings for weddings and school formals are published. Eftpos, Visa, Mastercard and cash. Book here if you want a dollar-band Barkly chair you can walk into before 5pm, or a booked lash set. Ask for Gel-X versus SNS so the timing matches. This is Barkly, not Acland.

Treatments

ShellacNails

Shellac is the walk-in headline before 5pm. After 5pm, book. Last chair aims about 30 minutes before close. Moncheri at 100 Acland is the late-night alternative to 9pm Thursday and Friday.

$
Builder gelNails

Builder gel sits with Gel-X and SNS. Ask which overlay you want so the slot is honest. This is a dollar-band Barkly chair, not Moncheri's priced-out builder gel from 65 dollars.

$
AcrylicNails

Acrylic sits with the other systems. Walk-ins are welcomed. Ask whether you need a full set or a fill. The One Nails at 117-119 is the Acland dollar-band alternative, closed Sunday.

$
SNSNails

SNS sits beside Gel-X. Say SNS versus builder gel when you call. A summer note mentions Monday to Sunday. Do not treat that as a second full grid.

$
LashesNails

Classic, Russian volume and hybrid lash extensions are by booking only. Walk-in nails do not equal a walk-in full set. Lash Brow Boss at 165 is the Fitzroy Street specialist.

$
WaxingNails

Female and male waxing sits with tinting and brow shape. Ask areas and whether the guest is male. Luella names Bella on hard wax as a Fitzroy Street alternative.

The street

Why this place,
on this street.

Open in Maps

225 Barkly Street is not 100 Acland Moncheri, not Shop 1, 117-119 The One Nails, not Biba at 167 Acland. Barkly runs parallel to the cafe strip. Come for the walk-in Shellac room. Do not come because an Acland nail index flattened every St Kilda overlay into one pin. Confirm 225. Trams serve Barkly. This is a dollar-band chair, not a destination gel house with a 9pm Thursday. Ask for 225 Barkly. The DO Salon at 171 Fitzroy Street is a different St Kilda door, not this glass. Walk into the wrong number and you will be in ZAYN The Organic Salon at 22 Fitzroy Street is a different St Kilda door.
