Self-Care's take
Nail Xpert is Shop 1 on Clarendon for nails, volume lashes and unisex waxing, including men for brows on the Bookwell about copy. Guest notes name Lyn on SNS and call out detail on short nails. Official hours close earlier than Bookwell on weeknights, so use the studio site and confirm if you want a late chair. Named Bookwell is phone bookings only. This is not Queen B, Queen Nails or Maris Beauty. Book here if you want a dollar-band SNS and wax room that welcomes men, and you can live with a busy two-staff floor. Call to lock the slot rather than assuming a walk-in. Ask for SNS versus acrylic when you book so the chair time matches the set.
More in South MelbourneTreatments
Manicure is the straightforward nail hour on a dollar-band floor. Ask regular versus SNS versus acrylic so the chair time matches. Guest notes call out detail on short nails. This is not About U's Russian method. Two staff on a busy floor means a wait is not a personal insult. Phone the slot rather than hovering at the glass.
$Spa pedicure sits with the nail menu. Ask whether you want a soak-and-finish. Queen Nails at 265 also lists spa pedicure on a phone-only cart. Two doors, two phones. If you are stacking hands and feet, say so. Dollar-band rooms run on honest minutes, not spa-package fog.
$Acrylic is listed beside SNS. Ask which system you want. Named chair Lyn is called out on SNS rather than acrylic, so say if you have a technician preference. Short nails that want detail are a different brief from a long square set. Tell them which you are.
$Volume lashes sit with nails and wax. Ask full set versus refill. Maris next door at 320 prints classic and volume prices on its own eyelash page. Volume sets do not like a same-hour surprise wax on the brow. Sequence the booking.
$Unisex waxing including men and brows is on the Bookwell about copy. Ask areas and whether the guest is male so the slot is honest. Confirm the menu when you call. Men's brow wax is on the about copy. It is still a booking, not a wink at the door.

First visit
Call 03 9690 9343 or email info@nailxpert.com.au. Named Bookwell is phone bookings only. Official hours: Monday to Wednesday 10am-6pm, Thursday and Friday 9:30am-7pm, Saturday 9am-6pm, Sunday 10am-5pm. Bookwell runs later on weeknights. Use official. Say SNS, acrylic, lashes or wax, and whether the guest is male. Ask for Lyn on SNS if that is the chair notes name. Expect a busy two-staff floor. If you want a weeknight after 6pm, official hours may already be shut even when Bookwell still looks open. Call the studio number, not the aggregator clock.
The street
Shop 1, 319 Clarendon Street
South Melbourne VIC 3205
Shop 1, 319 Clarendon sits next to Maris at 320, with Queen Nails at 265 and Queen B at 237 and 250. Tram 1 and 12 run the strip. Come for SNS, volume lashes and unisex wax. Do not come because a Queen-named awning sold you a different menu. Official hours beat Bookwell if you want the studio clock. Shop 1 means look for the shopfront number on 319, not a centre directory board inside Clarendon Centre at 261. Frika Hair Boutique at 341 Clarendon Street is a different South Melbourne door, not this glass.
